Strategies for Puppy: thin clients, foundations
Given Puppy's tiny footprint, it is very much suitable for "tiny" PC-like devices, like thin clients. From
, we can see that
A thin client is a network computer without a hard disk drive, whereas a fat client includes a disk drive
Let's call a "thin client" "thinPC" for now.
A thinPC is dependent on a server, so selling one means also selling all the server hardware and software, thus producing a large revenue stream (even if the thinPC is cheap) . Using Puppy in a thinPC cuts off this dependence, and even opens up the possibility of the thinPC becoming a server!
Puppy will therefore be avoided by both makers and vendors who have set their sights on that huge revenue stream. But expect that these companies, both large and small, will be announcing a "PC solution for the next billion cats", "one PC for every kitten", etc.
Well, "avoided" may be too soft, "discouraged" may be more like it. Feel free to create scenarios.
Given the possible hostility from many commercial fronts, the entity that will nurture Puppy may want to avoid a commercial character, and instead go for a foundation or cooperative type.
Whatever it is, it must be able to attract partners, especially chip/hardware makers, who can cooperate in creating the future device that will be Puppy-friendly (that is, one designed to accept Puppy's characteristics).
appears to be one such possible partner.

OK Raffy. You seem keen. Contacted Barry and he does not mind people setting up a Puppy Foundation or Co-operative if there is interest . . ..

Post subject: Operations Scenario
Foundation members promote low-budget, low-power computing devices called "thinPC", thus enabling access to computing by resource-constrained sectors (schools, low-income households, local governments). In doing this, they lecture and demonstrate Puppy to institutions in charge of these sectors.
They advice institutions about the most cost-efficient computing setup, and tally the specifications and orders, up to the Foundation/HQ level.
Foundation HQ uses these specifications and numbers to negotiate with partners/suppliers.
For starters, I tried to write the minimum specifications of a thinPC:
1. Flash drive of 64 MB for booting the OS and
programs (128 MB preferred);
2. Memory of 256 MB;
3. Video output of 1024x768 pixels;
4. A PCI slot for the user to do networking using
ethernet, wireless, or modem;
5. Audio device.
As to the form factor, the minimum dimensions are
preferred, for economy in transport.
Price shall be as low as possible
(I have forgotten to indicate the USB slot, plus the details of keyboard and mouse, but one prospective supplier will give unit specifications based on this initial list.)
As to the size of order, Rarsa is correct, the
economies of scale
question must be answered right from the start.
Funny, suppliers tend to prefer negotiating on a territory basis while at the same time asking for a big order to lower the price. So tallying orders through the Foundation can help bring the price down.

You could have been writing the specs. for the Devon NTA device (6010A). Barry was given one by the vendors, and there has been discussion about booting from the included CF card (in the Howto section). AFAIK it runs Puppy very nicely, and it is on offer to Puppians for $US189 (much discounted price).
In fact, "thin terminals" based on the VIA EPIA motherboard series would suit the needs very well.
The difference between them and the Simputer/MIT projects is that the EPIA-based machines do not usually have a screen incorporated; the Simputer is a hand-held and the MIT machine is proposed as notebook-style I believe.
That said, there was a post from someone looking forward to receiving a Puppy-suitable machine that was built in to an LCD screen. But that is not likely to be a low-cost solution.
I read somewhere that the Simputer project is not thriving because they lack the capital needed to produce in large enough volume to get the price down. And that is likely to be a dilemma for any effort based on new hardware.

Post subject: Southeast Asia Package
Thin client solutions already abound, but the producers may not yet be aware that Puppy can enable the thin client to become a PC. Whatever package may be quoted here (in Southeast Asia), the producers elsewhere (including NTAVO) can always decide to make or buy. Also, the recent dialogue with a thin client maker is more about making a cheap PC that can address the "digital divide". Since Puppy will be the enabling software, the Puppy enthusiasts should take on the opportunity to tally orders and help drive down the cost of the unit. Every Puppy enthusiast will have a role here as producers prefer to do business on a territory basis (although the proposed foundation or cooperative can lump the different areas to create a "single teritory" that negotiates with the producer). People who know an appropriate ecommerce solution for this type of operation are encouraged to come forward.

I suppose that Puppy would allow a bunch of thin clients to be networked without a central server. Have I got that right at least?
On a slightly different tack, it should be possible to have a "thin server," running Puppy from a live CD or DVD with the server database on the same CD or DVD. Seems like that would be ideal for a webpage, since rebooting would clear out any worms or hacks. Maintenance, upgrading and such, would be as simple as exchanging the CD or DVD for a new one.
People who make a business of maintaining static webpages (where the database doesn't change often) could update the webpage at home, burn a new CD or DVD and mail it to wherever.

Yes Flash you could network a heap of Puppy thin clients without using a server.
You would have to remaster the CDs and set the static addresses first then you only need connect the clients through a hub or switch.

I was thinking about this Ian,
rather than a $100 computer why not aim for $600 for 6 terminals . . .
. . . and why are we working towards new machines instead of reconditioned?
PS. Never seem to catch you on IRC - will try to use IRC a bit more again as it seems to be flagging . . . (maybe I am there at the wrong times)
PPS I would like to get this Puppy Foundation going - any ideas on that? I know we tried with the Alpha team - but that went a bit too fast, too soon - so . . . what now . . .?
Think I might start a separate post as a sounding enviroment . . .

Hey Lobster, the idea of a foundation has merit and as you say there is no need to concentrate on new machines Puppy runs on older machines alright.
As for networking you could build different flavours of Puppy to suit the machines and even create a Puppy server CD to handle Internet connections DHCP and firewalling.
I haven't been IRCing a lot lately as I have been busy and the room has been empty most times I have been there.

i have found that HP sell a thin client
model T5710 (256/256)800 MHz
that has 256MB flash and 256MB RAM with an 800MHz processor. it comes with Windows XP Embedded preloaded, but i am sure that XPe is a big portion of the price. if there was a version without XPe it would probably be only $100 US or so. Would this not be the PERFECT little thin client to run Puppy Chubby on?
I think so!
everyone has fotografic memory. some peoples just dont have films!

Here are some goals:
Set up Foundation
Well consider this thread it. We are the pre foundation. We will need to do some investigation (I need some help on this - my sister is looking into this as she works for a volunteer bureau and may know someone with info) So we need to decide what we are Trust, Ltd Corporation, Charity, Trust etc - I vote for no corporation.
Set up goals
If Barry is intending another two years - hopefully with continued advisement and input for much longer, then we need to:
Ensure a working development model for the future. Do we have one person or several as the main developers? Will Puppy be 'complete' at this time?
An achievable goal is to have all documentation in wiki / HTML format on a server provided by the Foundation. I say Foundation for ease of language.
Another goal for which there seems interest is an embedded or thin client Puppy
3. To have
credible representatives for Puppy
Or in my case incredible representative. I am quite happy to put myself forward as chairperson or secretary for the initial period - say six months. Anyone else please come forward. You do not have to have experience - Just Puppy Love. As a Foundation we would need an address and contact person.
At the moment I suggest that is Barry - (which at the moment is the way it works anyway)
If he is busy he can delegate any contacts to members of the Foundation.
As I see it the Foundation is a layer of support for Barry and Puppy. I know this sounds formal to some but as Ian says - it is getting to the stage were something of this nature would help to promote and support the distro we all prefer using.
I have put these starting points here:
as a beginning

I dug through the entire linux documentation project ( tldp.org ) but didn't come up with a 'foundation walkthrough'. I did find these:
Google found this, establising a non-profit:
Though this looks like it is intended for within the States.

Yes, in the U.S. at least, the idea behind nonprofits is to give a tax incentive for a good cause. While the general idea of encouraging good causes with government incentives may hold true in other nations, its implementation will vary.

I think so!
Hey, that thing is based on the Transmeta Crusoe processor! I'm pretty sure Linus Torvalds worked on the development of the Crusoe processor for a while at Transmeta, so it should strongly support Linux.
Personally, I'd take the money saved by using Puppy instead of Windows, and put it into more RAM.
Here's a
quote from the HP product page:
However, due to the increased size of [Windows XPe]SP2, customers owning t5700 thin clients with a 192-MB flash and 256-MB RAM configuration must purchase and upgrade their flash memory to 256-MB or higher to install this image.

March 19, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Jimmy Bartolotta added to his postseason award total on Wednesday, as the junior from Littleton, Colo., was selected to the D3Hoops Men's All-Northeast Region First Team. Bartolotta was the only non-senior to land a spot on the top unit.
The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) fared well in the voting process as five players from the conference were picked for one of the three region teams while Coast Guard's Pete Barry was named Northeast Region Coach of the Year and Wheaton's Anthony Coppola was named Northeast Region Rookie of the Year.
Bartolotta was terrific in his third season donning the Cardinal and Gray. Winning the NEWMAC scoring title for the second consecutive season behind an Institute-record 23.9 points-per-game average, Bartolotta was the only player in the league to rank among the leaders in every statistical category. He finished second in assists and steals while finishing the campaign fourth on MIT's all-time scoring list with 1,479 points.
In addition to earning NEWMAC All-Conference First Team honors for the second straight season, Bartolotta was a finalist for the coveted Jostens Trophy and was an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America First Team selection.
Andrew Olsen of Amherst was named Northeast Region Player of the Year. In addition to Barry's coaching honor, Coast Guard had two players make the team as Craig Johnson was a second team pick and Al Sowers earned third team accolades. WPI's Antoine Coleman was also named to the third team while Coppola picked up third team honors as well.

Breaking News
To whoever stole $300,000 worth of wiring from the Atlanta set of "Anchorman 2" ...
You should probably find yourself a safe house or a relative close by ... lay low for a while ... because you're probably wanted for burglary.
Cops in ATL are on the hunt for the scumbag (or scumbags) who broke into a warehouse that's being used as a set for "Anchorman 2" late last month and made off with $300k of wire and some computers.
According to police, the burglary is just the latest in a string of break-ins in the area.
So far, no arrests have been made.
You stay classy.

Rokita '92 Wins Seat in House of Representatives• November 3, 2010 Share:
Wabash men across Indiana competed for public office in Tuesday's general election. The biggest prize was won by Todd Rokita '92. The Secretary of State won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Rokita claimed the seat previously held by Stephen Buyer. He will be the representative for Montgomery County as part of the fourth district. He defeated David Sanders with 69 percent of the vote.
Jesse James '08 was trying to become the youngest person ever elected to the Indiana House of Representatives. He lost to GOP incumbent Bruce Borders 57-43 percent.
Charlie White '92 defeated Democrat Vop Osili to claim Rokita's current position.
In Crawfordsville, Joe Buser '76 was unopposed as Montgomery County Prosecutor. Buser claims his fifth term. Political Science Professor David Hadley lost his race for a seat on the Montgomery County Council.
Elsewhere, Jim Joven '89 was re-elected judge for Lawrence Township Small Claims Court in Indianapolis. Nick Bourff '04 was elected prosecutor in Starke County, Indiana.
We'd be happy to add any other successful Wabash candidates to this story. Just send all pertinent information to: firstname.lastname@example.com

beannacht, blessing, fear, le donne, life, love, morning, o'donohue, ok, poem, poetry, sarah kay, talks, TED, three things, thrive, true
This woman, Sarah Kay, made me want to memorize a poem.
And to fearlessly, passionately recite it for others.
Just like my nanny used to do.
And I have Gail to thank for this discovery. And Le Donne too.
What are the 3 things I know to be true?
You will understand the context for this question if you listen to Sarah and her TED talk.
1. Things always look better in the morning. They look even better on a sunny morning.
2. Love always overcomes fear.
3. No matter what happens to me in life—really, no matter what—I will be ok. I will still find a way to thrive.
And below–Beannacht–is perhaps the poem I will memorize and perform.
It seems fitting for today, with so many in mourning and surveying hard circumstances.
It is time for beannacht.

vansloan needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 54 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
I'm a web designer turned internet entrepreneur. I run a number of online projects and try to build lasting sites that really provide a ton of value to visitors.
Primarily male audience that is between 18 and 49. People who are looking for information on buying, selling, fixing, and maintaining cars. People who are not crazy car lovers will be visiting this site the most, so the logo can't be too car serious.
The logo will display in a theme that is similar to this link:
Bold colours that fit well over black and light gray and a simple web 2.0 design is what I'm looking for, with a splash of fun tossed in. Something that I can add a reflection and shadow to would be nice too.
There has to be some type of icon next to the word mark, but I'm completely open to the direction of the image.
The main key is simplicity... but also have fun with it. I'd really like something that doesn't look too corporate and has some originality.

Courtesy of The Craft and Folk Art Museum: The Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) presents a conversation with tattoo artists Jack Rudy and Freddy Negrete and photographer Edgar Hoill about the history and significance of the black and grey style of tattoo that was born in East Los Angeles on December 2nd, 2012. Freddy Negrete will also be doing a live tattoo demo before the talk…
WHO: The Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM), located on Los Angeles' historic Museum Row, is the city's only institution exclusively dedicated to celebrating craft, design, and folk art. CAFAM's dynamic exhibitions feature established and emerging artists whose work is rooted in both traditional and contemporary craft and design. CAFAM is a venue that makes art accessible to all audiences and serves as a forum in which art can be presented and described by the artists and communities who create it.
WHEN: December 2nd (Sunday) — Live tattoo demo beginning at 1:00 p.m.; artist talk beginning at 3:00 p.m.
WHAT: Black & Grey is a style of tattoo that was born in the prisons of California, and later professionalized in East Los Angeles at the tattoo shop Goodtime Charlie's Tattooland. In 1975, Jack Rudy and "Goodtime Charlie" Cartwright developed the single-needle technique to reinvent penitentiary-style tattoos, eventually bringing the talented young Freddy Negrete into the fold. Jack Rudy, Freddy Negrete, and Black & Grey documentarian Edgar Hoill will be speaking about the history and development of this style and its ongoing significance.
Freddy Negrete will be doing a Black & Grey tattoo demo starting at 1:00 p.m.
WHERE: Craft and Folk Art Museum, 5814 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, 90036
Jack Rudy has been tattooing since 1975 at his shop, Goodtime Charlie's Tattooland. He learned to tattoo from "Goodtime Charlie" Cartwright, the previous owner of his shop. Rudy, along with Cartwright, is renowned for professionalizing the Black & Grey style of tattoo with the single-needle technique. He In 1985 the historic shop moved from east LA to their current location in Anaheim.
Freddy Negrete, one of the pioneers of the Black and Grey style, was already doing prison-style tattoos in his apartment with homemade machines before he joined Jack Rudy and Charlie Cartwright at Good Time Charlie's Tattooland in East Los Angeles. Later, Negrete worked on film sets, creating temporary tattoos for actors performing in Blade, Batman II, and Conair, among others. Negrete returned to school during his tattoo career to earn both a B.A. and M.A. in Archaeology. He currently works at Shamrock Social Club on Sunset Boulevard.
Edgar Hoill adopted the name "OSOK" (One Shot One Kill) to reflect his passion for photography. Hoill is co-author, along with Marisa Kakoulas, of the three-volume set Black & Grey Tattoo (I, II & III), the largest tattoo book ever published. Black and Grey Tattoo explores the monochrome art form through his lens, illustrating widely diverse interpretations and craft techniques performed by fine line tattoo artists around the world. Hoill is also known for his editorial work with Lowrider Arte Magazine and for publishing the book Latino Art Collection: Tattoo-Inspired Chicano, Maya, Aztec and Mexican Styles.

PARIS (AP) -- President Francois Hollande announced on Monday a series of measures to encourage the French entrepreneurial spirit, including drastic cuts in capital gains taxes -- up to 65 percent -- for the sale of small companies and a plan to make France start-up friendly.
Hollande, looking to stimulate flagging growth and cut into the nation's 10.6 percent jobless rate, also ordered the Interior Ministry to introduce visas for foreign entrepreneurs, and to speed up the process to make the country more attractive to foreign professionals.
"Half of the entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley are immigrants," Hollande said in a speech before some 300 entrepreneurs at the Elysee Palace. "We must waste no talent."
The Socialist president has been viewed by some as an anti-business leader, and infuriated entrepreneurs last year by proposing increased taxes on investments. In response, entrepreneurs, calling themselves "pigeons" -- French slang for someone who has been duped -- launched an online opposition campaign that quickly got tens of thousands of "likes" on Facebook, and trended on Twitter.
Hollande, trying to return to the good graces of entrepreneurs, said he was undoing that plan, and simplifying the system.
"There are no less than 40 formulas for dealing with capital gains ... 40 different ones. And now there will be but one," Hollande said.
He enumerated a graded scale for tax breaks on capital gains for entrepreneurs who bought start-ups: 65 percent if the company has been held at least eight years and 50 percent after two years. The tax advantage rises to 85 percent when companies are less than 10 years old, are being passed on to family members, or the owner is retiring.
Experts say Hollande's initial plan would have meant an effective tax rate of 60 percent, compared with 15 percent on U.S. capital gains.
Hollande called the new system "balanced," ''just," and "durable."
"It is enterprises that create wealth and, therefore, jobs," the president said.
France has been raising taxes to fill a 30-billion-euro hole in the budget and meet a deficit target of 3 percent -- set by the eurozone -- of its 1.8 trillion-euro gross domestic product.
But small and medium-sized companies are the biggest creators of jobs and drivers of economic growth, and make up 99 percent of businesses in France and the European Union as a whole.
Other measures aimed at boosting the entrepreneurial spirit in France include wiping out the Bank of France notes on companies that fail "so that one can have a second or a third chance" and creating "international houses," starting in the United States and in Asia, to help medium-sized French companies to branch out abroad or encourage exports.

ARB Fridge Freezer - An Ice Chest Just Won't DoPosted in How To on May 1, 2010
Keeping food and drinks cold on extended backcountry outings has been a challenge since people started exploring the backcountry. Ice melts, food goes bad, people get sick. Not good.
In Australia, where exploring trips into the outback can last for weeks or even months, an ice chest just won't do. Years ago, ARB started offering a line of freezer/fridges that kept food and drinks cold, or frozen, for as long as there was power available. These ARB fridges proved to be durable, reliable, and continue to keep food and drinks cold all over the planet.
While ARB's freezer/fridges were a hard act to follow, after three years of hard work ARB engineers topped themselves. The new ARB Fridge Freezer is a reliable and efficient unit that's aimed directly at those who like to explore the backcountry. The Fridge Freezer features tough powder-coated zinc-steel cabinet sides, a recessed digital control panel with temperature display in either Fahrenheit or Celsius readings, a drain plug, an internal LED light, recessed handles that double as tie-down points, and a German-built Danfoss compressor with a smart electronic control system that enables rapid cool down to target temperature.
If there was one negative that could be mentioned about the old ARB Freezer Fridge, it was the lid with a hinge that allowed it to fall off the fridge while opening or closing, and a latch that was small and hard to manipulate one-handed. The new reinforced and internally-ribbed injection-molded lid has an innovative, stainless-steel detent hinge that makes removal easy, yet is secure when you don't want it removed. The large, over-center cam lock latch is easy to use, yet provides a positive lock between the lid and cabinet. With a 50-quart capacity, there's plenty of room to carry drinks and food, with a separate compartment for fruit and dairy storage. Fifty quarts means the ARB Fridge Freezer will hold 72 (!) 12-ounce cans.
The benefits of using the ARB Freezer Fridge are obvious to the seasoned backcountry explorer. A negative could be that the fridge uses battery power in the field and could run down a battery if left to run in camp for an extended period. ARB thought of this, too. The fridge features three selectable minimum operating voltages to prevent excessive 12/24V DC battery discharge. If the battery drops to the selected voltage level, the fridge shuts down. Current draw is quite low when compared to earlier or competitive fridges.
The fridge also works with 110-240V AC power, so it can be used in the shop or home for additional refrigeration, anywhere on the planet.
The old ARB fridges worked very well. The new ARB Fridge Freezer is improved in every way. It seems everything was thought of, even to the 90-degree power plugs, both AC and DC, that minimize the depth required behind the fridge for power leads. Its large capacity, easy controls, and quality will keep provisions cold, whether the outback foray is for months, or a day.
Baby, it's cold inside! We're glad it is.

Yes, I do know that. That problem was identified by de Vries (1958). His work led to the calibration curves we use today.
I know all about that too. That is why we use both a calibration for the atmospheric fluctuations and why we measure the C13, as well as the C14/C12 ratios. That lets us correct for isotopic fractionation.
And marine life always needs to be treated differently. The C13 measurement is a large part of that.
A few years ago one project had four human skeletons, but the diet appeared to be heavy in marine mammals. When we ran the C14 dates we had the stable isotopes C13 and N15 run at the same time. That let us estimate the percent of marine organisms in the diet. It was over 90%, and that reduced the calibrated age of one individual by about 500 years.
So don't bother hunting around the creationist websites and finding little "gotchas" from those folks who have never done any radiocarbon dating and thinking you have a magic bullet to kill the whole method. We have a far greater interest in the accuracy of the method, and the resulting dates, than creationists ever could.

So the proto-cat, say, had all the information within it that when various bits of that information is removed from it, then all the different kinds of cats that you can find have evolved from that.
That was worded badly, let me try again...
God makes a cat kind. It has a lot of information in the genome. Over time, some of that information gets loss due to adaption. That loss of information is what changes the original cat kind into something that looks different, although it is still within that kind. And they dont' think any amount of loss of information can change it so much that it would become a different kind.

Are these "kinds" all placentals, I mean what is said about marsupials? There is a Cat kind/form among both placentals and marsupials, yet they are not even close to related to each other. Did God make special animals just for Australia? Special more pirimitive animals that would be out competed by his placental creations on the rest of the planet, whose niches would be filled up by placentals.
I feel like I should say something on this topic. Its just wierd. So the common ancestor that both Humans and Gorillas have, has all the information, and we though evolved are lesser beings than our animal ancestor? When did snakes loose the ability to talk?
Isn't Homo sapiens sapiens like the 3rd or 4th wave of the Homo Species to branch out and occupy the globe? I know Homo erectus made thier way all the way to China, and Indonesia, and Homo neanderthalensis was in Europe, South West Asia, and Central Asia, when our species got there. There is not enough evidence to say if we came from erectus or not (I think we did not), but we probably out competed neaderthals to extinction, are neaderthals and erectus somehow more due to the more information they had? I need to read more about this, because at face value its sounds very not plausable.

Of course, and they're obviously wrong.
They haven't really ironed out all the wrinkles yet. They don't have a good definition of what a "kind" is, or where you draw the lines. (they're pretty much just making it up as they go along).
But, because they always want to sound like they're all sciency, they've come up with this: Baraminology <--clicky
Heh, check it out:
Oh no. God created man seperate from the other apes. Humans have to be their own kind (see above).
But you seem to be getting the jist of it. And If you look at the message you replied to, Message 116, they guy was arguing that adam and eve had to have been black because white people have less information than black people (they lost the blackness to become white).
That's because you're "assuming" evolution and seeing things with tainted glasses. If you just let the Holy Spirit guide you and read the Bible, (while ignoring everything that shows how terribly wrong it is), you can then see that it all makes perfect sense and there isn't one error in the glory of God's word

It's not that cut and dry. Some information in the genome is deleted, some genes are recessive (meaning certain traits will show up later down the line), others are gained by mutations which later become fixed in subsequent populations, etc, etc. When it comes to how things evolve, there isn't any one reason.
Obviously not. Marsupials mainly became isolated. Some still remain in places like North America (possums are marsupials) and also placental mammals like raccoons (closely related to marsupials).
Is that a joke? Are you being facetious?
Isn't Homo sapiens sapiens like the 3rd or 4th wave of the Homo Species to branch out and occupy the globe?[/qs]
Pretty much. There are other subdivisions that formed from isolation, but Homo Sapiens weren't the only game in town.
Actually humans and neanderthals assimilated. They weren't so much out-competed as they were bred out of existence. There's an excellent chance that you have neanderthals in your family tree, as do I.

Well of course not, but I am a spatial based scientist, I do maps, charts, and algorithms that measure and calculate distance (spatial) and time (temporal), and their relationships. I find this topic very interesting, but I know almost nothing about biology. But I would rather get the laymans terms and general idea about how it works. I know I was being general, but who wants to post and read all technical information all the time?
I think that is Opossum, Possums live in Australia. I think the Virginia Opossum is the only one in North America. Are you sure Raccoons are related to marsupials?
Sorry I couldnt resist.
That is only partially true. Only humans outside of Sub-Saharan Africa and Neanderthals bred. Non-African Modern humans have between 1% - 4% Neanderthal DNA. So back to the Adam and Eve were black and had more information thing. That would mean since Adam and Eve were Black and of African ancestery that they did not have Neanderthal DNA, and therefore would have LESS information than the Humans who bred with the Neanderthals in Southwest and Central Asia, and in Europe. Its fine to say that Adam and Eve were Black, but you really cant say they have more information, because they were not an Older Kind (or whatever) of Human like Neanderthals were, also since they did not breed with Neanderthals, their offspring did not gain the genetic material that the other variations of Humans did who left the African Continent and bred with Homo neanderthalensis did.
They can be black or have more genetic information, but they cannot have both.
Wow that theory was pretty easy.
So was there an Adam and Eve for every set of Homo that God created? 12 according to the site you linked. All they really did is take the genus Homo and make it its own kind. Which is fine but to say its different than other primates who we share 90+% of the genetic code with is a bit silly dont you think, it seems quite obvious.
I am sorry but that is a false statement. Evolution was never assumed, it was what people came up with when faced with the evidence that they had at hand. Sure they made some errors, but in the beginning they had less evidence than we do today, and less methods of determining value to apply to the evidence. Look I am a Christian myself, but a Roman Catholic one so I get to ignore all that Sola scriptura bullshit, and use my own logic a bit. I am sure Gods word has no errors, but the bible wasnt written by God, nor my any less that hundreds of people of the course of hundreds of years. I mean this would be a bit easier on us faithful if Jesus maybe wrote one of the books, I know he could read the Torah, so he must have been somewhat literate. Heck I would be happy if Jesus just proofread the new testament and took all the errors and contradictions out of it. Oh well that is another topic.
I wonder what these sciency creationists would have said before the human genome was mapped and we know what we know now. I wonder what they would have said about the Chinese idea that Chinese people were a different race because they evolved from Peking Man (Homo erectus) and did not come out of Africa as Homo sapiens. That was a very popular notion in China for a long long time, that they, the Chinese, where a different species of Man, from a different ancestor. I only bring this up because there are a lot of people who are not from our way of thinking, and this Chinese example was the best one I could think of. Isnt rather pretentious to say our God created us, when there is half a planet of people of other faiths out there? Who created them?

I don't know if they even get into how the original kinds came about.

Yeah its very weird and yet interesting at the same time.
Like I care what Philistines think about me
God is perfect.
Of course they are not correct IMHO, as it seems there is better evidence to support the idea that they, like us, evolved from Homo sapiens who came from Africa. I guess the Chinese really just want to be their own people really bad.
Yeah I screwed all that up, thanks for the clarification and the explanation. It has been a year since I posted here (I lost my password), and I forgot all the rules around here. I honestly thought Gen Reply meant GENERATE Reply. Are you a Moderator?

Well, we've now split off into about 4 different topics... how crazy creationists are, what makes a christian, god's perfection, and independent chinese evolution. They like to keep things focused and on one particular topic per thread so I'll just let that other stuff die off.
The Chinese stuff could be on topic (The Race Issue), but we don't really have anything to argue about wrt to that one.
Thanks for the link though, its interesting.
I'm not a moderator. There's only, like, 3 moderators now. There used to be a lot more, but I never became one. I'm probably too mean and tend to just tell people to fuck off, and then I get suspended for a day... but I promised Percy (the creator of this site, aka Admin) that I wouldn't do that any more.

I would kind of like to discuss the Chinese stuff, but maybe I should propose a new topic, though I have not done so before, and the managment seems a bit ornrey about that.

You should propose a new topic....
New topics should be focused. Assertions should be supported. Make an argument in your own words as opposed to lengthy copy-n-pastes. Link to that article.
You should summarize the argument. State your position on it. Provide the support. And let it rip!
I'll participate if it get promoted. its pretty interesting at least.

Levels of C-14 can be greatly effected by any condition.
Bone of Contention: Is Evolution True (Sylvia Baker, 1986)
"Radiocarbon: Ages in Error" (Robert E. Lee) Anthropological Journal of Canada Vol. 19, #3, 1981
The Carbon 'timescale' was only known for about 16,000 years. This means, that after that period, data was extrapolated. But recent discoveries in the polar ice cores tell us that the data is not accurate:
And speaking of the magnetic field, at a decay rate of 5% every 100 years, 10,000 years ago the earth's magnetic field would have been 128 times as strong as it is today. Evolutionists claim the last pole reversal was around 750,000 years ago (which is obviously untrue). But the earth would have been too hot at 10,000.

You are making a fundamental mistake here. The research by de Vries (1958) showed the need for calibration curves. Those curves account for the variations in the earth's magnetic field and differing levels of cosmic rays. This makes your point (2) moot.
Your point (1) is something that I would like to see evidence for. I suspect it is typical creationist nonsense. (And you don't date fossils with Carbon 14 dating anyway).
I have this publication, and have emailed Robert E. Lee on this quotation. It was referring to a specific section of Canada and to local conditions. The problems have since been identified and worked out.
Sorry, creationists. This does not support your efforts to discredit the Carbon 14 method.
That's why we use a calibration curve! It allows us to account for these fluctuations and produce accurate dates.
Off topic nonsense. Since this is off topic I will rebut with a link: rebuttal.
This is all old data. What's the latest finding on this?

text: Justin Hunter was supposed to be the Volunteers' top draft prospect as the 2012 season got underway. His running mate out wide would have something to say about that. During a one-year stay at Tennessee after transferring from a Kansas community college, 21-year-old true junior Cordarrelle Patterson emerged as the Vols' premier all-purpose weapon. Patterson found four different ways to score touchdowns and averaged an 18.8-yard gain every time he handled the rock. I had seen a few of Patterson's highlights and a cut-up video before this Evaluation, but nothing substantial. I entered this one with no preconceived opinions and a wide-open mind. In my first real exposure to Patterson, I watched six Tennessee games, all of Patterson's touches twice, and charted each with detailed notes. One fact crystallized after about two games: Scoring touchdowns and playing explosive football come natural to Cordarrelle Patterson. He is a natural playmaker. Listed at 6-foot-3, 205, Patterson's body type is similar to Dez Bryant and Julio Jones', and his game is especially similar to Julio's. Patterson's movements seemed effortless even as he outraced defensive backs and made oncoming defenders shiver. Julio is a bit like that. Randy Moss was like that, too. Although Patterson's primary position in Tennessee's offense was "X-Iso" receiver on the outside, the Vols devised ways other than fly and go routes to put the ball in Patterson's hands. In the six games I viewed, one of Patterson's most impressive plays came on a 15-yard rushing attempt in the fourth quarter versus Mississippi State. Lined up as a traditional tailback, Patterson accepted quarterback Tyler Bray's handoff and moved subtly, patiently to his right. Running upright and contemplating his lane, Patterson exploded suddenly with a violent cut on a sweep, forcing Bulldogs linebackers Deontae Skinner and Bernardrick McKinney to flail and miss badly. Patterson dipped his shoulder and finished the run with forceful authority. The run was Petersonian. I checked the box score after watching the Mississippi State game, just for kicks. Patterson had two catches for 25 yards. He was still a Human Highlight Reel, ripping off devastating cuts to make three Bulldogs special teamers look silly on a 98-yard kickoff return touchdown. Patterson turned a 10-yard loss into a long gain on a reverse, busting a tackle deep in the backfield, making another defender miss, and reversing field again en route to a 34-yard pickup. His first reception came in heralded cornerback Johnthan Banks' coverage, as Patterson's precise curl-out route left Banks flat footed for 14 yards along the left sideline. Patterson got his second catch versus another highly touted draft prospect in Darius Slay, out-muscling Banks' bookend for an 11-yard touchdown on a fade. Patterson just barely missed an additional kick return score, shaking two Bulldogs before a lucky shoestring tackle stopped Patterson at the 39-yard line with only green grass in front of him. Despite catching just two balls against Mississippi State, Patterson finished with 195 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. (When you say 'play', I say 'maker'.) Facing another top-rated cornerback versus North Carolina State, Patterson whipped 2011 NCAA interceptions leader David Amerson for a 41-yard scoring bomb, creating a cavity of separation at the end of his fly route. Patterson continued his schooling of Amerson on an end-around, breaking three tackles and easily outrunning Amerson for a 67-yard rushing touchdown. Against Missouri, Patterson had two TDs negated by penalties, the first on a silly high-stepping call and the second on a hold that didn't affect the play. Patterson lost yet another touchdown against Vanderbilt after juking Commodores safety Kenny Ladler on a quick curl and scoring from 27 yards out. Officials caught the Vols' center blocking too far downfield. Cordarrelle Patterson is a freak. There were times he looked genuinely un-tackle-able on tape. I charted him with 29 open-field opportunities across six games. He made the first defender miss on 20 of them. Many receivers are explosive vertically and run fast in a straight line. Patterson is explosive both vertically and laterally, and physical as all get out. I loved how he got skinny through tight spaces, regularly sending would-be tacklers grasping at air as they left their feet. Patterson's run-after-catch ability might be the best I have ever seen from a college wide receiver. I think I read somewhere that Patterson is a poor route runner. Could've fooled me. He ran a full route tree in Tennessee's pro-style offense, executing the curl, hitch, skinny post, slant, back-shoulder fade, and deep-in as an X receiver, and the out-and-up and shallow cross from the slot. Just once did I see Patterson seem to blow a route; versus Vanderbilt. I couldn't tell if the miscommunication was on him or Tyler Bray. Patterson shot in and out of breaks. He used a crossover to evade press coverage off the line of scrimmage. His body control was fantastic both along the sideline and in the open field. Now for the nitpicks. Patterson has a tendency to let passes get too far into his body. He doesn't always catch it with his hands. I charted 39 of Patterson's targets and charged him with two drops. Each drop occurred on a throw over his right shoulder. Patterson put himself in great position to secure both, so tracking deep balls doesn't appear to be an issue. Catching them may be something he needs to improve. I have a feeling the biggest "concern" with Patterson will be intangible. He played at JUCO. He might not be great in the classroom. Fortunately, he looks plenty smart on the football field. Patterson also didn't have great receiving stats. He was the No. 2 option in Tennessee's passing game, behind more experienced Hunter. Patterson finished his junior season with a relatively pedestrian 46 catches for 778 yards and five TDs. Box-score scouts figure to hold this against him, dismissing Patterson's 12.3 yards-per-carry average and team-high ten all-purpose scores. Patterson's game tape is nothing short of sensational, and as explained above he dominated games in the SEC even while taking a receiving backseat to Hunter. Watch Patterson work the slant and fade versus Florida. He lit up Missouri and Mississippi State with game-breaking all-purpose plays. Patterson broke off a 45-yard kickoff return against Alabama. On a reverse, Patterson made swiss cheese of the middle of Georgia's defense on a 46-yard end-zone trip. Based on what I read about Patterson before watching the tape, I expected a raw, unpolished, mistake-prone receiver. A talented project. I did see big-time talent, but I didn't see many mistakes at all. If Cordarrelle Patterson is a boom-or-bust pick in April's draft, write me down as predicting a smashing boom. Sensible NFL Team Fits: Bills, Jets, Browns, Chargers, Dolphins, Panthers.

A date has been set for the special election to fill U.S. Sen. John Kerry's seat.
BOSTON — Gov. Deval Patrick is preparing to announce as early as Wednesday who will temporarily fill U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry's seat until a special election can be held on June 25.
Patrick said he's all but made up his mind on the interim senator.
"Pretty much. I have one or two other questions to ask," Patrick said when asked about the special election today. "We'll be ready."
Patrick said he'll name someone who "will be a wise steward of the interest of the people of the commonwealth," until the special election can be held. The primary is set for April 30.
Kerry is expected to be confirmed by the Senate as the nation's new secretary of state on Tuesday, sparking the third Senate contest in Massachusetts since the 2010 special election to fill the seat left vacant by the death of longtime Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy.
Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin said he was told by Senate officials that Kerry will submit a letter of resignation Tuesday, effective Friday.
That would set the clock ticking on the special election.
Galvin said he's ready to immediately release nomination papers. Candidates will have four weeks to collect the 10,000 signatures needed to get on the ballot.
Kerry's office has declined to comment on the timing of his resignation.
On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Edward Markey has already announced he will seek Kerry's seat, and U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch is weighing a run.
Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, who won the 2010 special election for Kennedy's seat but lost a re-election battle last year, is considering a campaign on the Republican side, but hasn't yet indicated if he'll run again or not.
Galvin said he would have preferred to hold the special election on June 18, before voters start leaving the state to go on summer vacation. He also said it could be less expensive because many school buildings would still be open.
But Galvin said he supports Patrick's decision.
"It's the governor's call and he's made it," Galvin said.
Galvin said the election is expected to cost several million dollars.
Also today, Edward Markey publicly challenged all Democratic and Republican candidates who might jump into the special election to agree to keep outside groups from spending money on political ads. Markey said the race should focus on "big issues and ideas, not big-money outside groups."
Markey said he wants a deal similar to the so-called "people's pledge" agreed to by Brown and Warren in last year's Senate race. That deal successfully discouraged outside political groups from spending money on television, radio and Internet ads, although they did spend millions on campaign mailings, phone banking and other get-out-the-vote efforts.
Despite the pledge, the race ended up being one of the costliest in the nation last year and by far the most expensive campaign ever in Massachusetts.
Kerry has represented Massachusetts in the Senate for nearly three decades.

In her book "Pure Lust: Elemental Feminist Philosophy," famed theologian and radical feminist Mary Daly imagined a female-run hag-ocracy, a new world of Witches, Crones, Harpies, Furies and Amazons.
Or, as we like to call it, television.
Even taking into account the increasing preponderance of supernatural beasties, 2013 is most certainly the Year of the Witch. From starring roles ("American Horror Story: Coven," "Witches of East End") to supporting ("Sleepy Hollow," "The Originals"), a host of new witches have joined their already-established sisters ("Grimm," "Once Upon a Time," "True Blood," "The Vampire Diaries," "Supernatural") to perform acts of good and evil while exploring, with varying degrees of seriousness, the power of the feminine.
PHOTOS: TV witches — the funny, the spooky, the ugly
Their appearance also illuminates an industry that recognizes the need for strong female characters but still doesn't quite know how to fill it without the aid of medieval courts or supernatural powers. The modern quartet of "Sex and the City" is now, more often than not, an actual coven.
Still playing catch-up with the cinematic success of Tolkien, Rowling and Meyers, TV is certainly in the midst of a supernatural cycle. Witches, one could argue, are simply the new vampire. But every monster has its roots — Dracula sprang from Bram Stoker's fevered vision of Victorian sexuality, Frankenstein's creature questioned our increasing dependence on science — and no other supernatural archetype is weighted with the same history of misdirection and murder as the witch.
After all, witches are real. Or at least the estimated 40,000 to 50,000 women (and a few men) burned, drowned or hanged as witches centuries ago in Europe and Colonial America were real. As Christianity struggled to maintain religious and political control, any woman who rejected or questioned its authority was most certainly a witch. And so too, apparently, were the many who simply did not conform to the silent, submissive role of a good Christian woman.
During the 1970s, many feminist scholars began recasting the witch as the ultimate victim of sexism. Those women who burned were now seen as wise women, apothecaries and midwives, even early doctors. "The Witch of Blackbird Pond," still required reading for many middle-school students, chronicles how both a young woman's ability to swim and an old woman's religious beliefs are considered signs of witchcraft.
PHOTOS: Leading ladies of the fall TV season
The evolution of witches on television, while not quite so serious, has been just as socially symbolic. Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) remains TV's most famous witch. Loosely based on the film "I Married a Witch," "Bewitched" was a light-hearted comedy, but Sam's story mirrors the anxieties of its time.
Having married a very average mortal (seriously, could anyone argue with Endora when she encouraged her daughter to ditch the dreaded "Der-wood"?), Samantha spends the series vainly trying to suppress her powers so she can fit in with her husband's desire for a "normal" (read: traditional) family.
Nowadays, of course, Sam would come to her senses, grab Tabitha and offer Darrin an ultimatum: Love me for who I am or not at all. And quit asking me to make dinner for Larry and his wife. I'm a freaking witch!
A quarter of a century later, the concurrent successes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Charmed" used the supernatural as a metaphor for the forces unleashed by adolescence, making the witch both serious and multi-faceted. Good or bad, Disney PG or FX hard R, witches became figures of female empowerment.
"When witches don't fight, we burn," Jessica Lange's Fiona tells her young witches in training on this season of "American Horror Story."
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Witches are also a handy solution to other, more pragmatic narrative problems. They can be old and wise and still beautiful. They are allowed to commit acts of fury, sex and violence — still the hallmarks of "important" drama — that would be far less acceptable from a mortal female character. And they often come in groups, which is how television writers like women.
Men can be loners, damaged and taciturn. But anti-social or truly (as opposed to adorably) dissenting women still make us very uncomfortable — witness reactions to "The Walking Dead's" Lori or "Breaking Bad's" Skyler. On television, a female lead is still most often paired up with a man. Otherwise, she has a BFF, or, more likely, a posse. Even the post-modern "Girls" embodies Carol Gilligan's famous theory that women are hard-wired to behave communally.
But if you make them queens ("Game of Thrones," "Reign") or witches (see above), well, now you're talking. Now you can have women complicated and changeable. They can be friends, but not really, and can seduce, murder and shove the plot forward without worrying about audience sympathy. As with the anti-hero, a witch has to fight demons (often literally) and her essential nature to be "good." We don't expect her to win every time.
Just as Samantha Stephens did, today's witches embody the tensions many women feel — between independence and domesticity, the sexual and the maternal — while proving what many men have often feared: that women are a separate race, with a secret code and language. If not from Venus, then perhaps from Salem.

Serial killer Anthony Sowell took the stand in the death penalty phase of his mass murder trial, and apologized for his actions.
A deputy stood directly behind Sowell as he answered basic questions, such as his name, age, etc. He described his childhood education. Sowell played the cello growing up, songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
Sowell said he was abused as a child, and described his mother beating him with an extension cord. When asked about specifics he said, "I don't want to talk about it." He said his mother did not nurture him as a little boy.
He said he joined the Marines because he heard they were tougher than the Army, and he had something to prove to his mother.
Sowell described his work in prison and how he sought employment after he got out in 2005. He worked for a temp agency as a cook, and proceeded to describe his work history job by job.
He choked up when he talked about his inability to show emotion to those he loved. He said he can't hug his sisters or hold hands.
Sowell described how a heart attack changed his life. Everything from mood swings to losing jobs to hearing a voice, one called Arnie.
Sowell completed his statement by saying he was sorry. He was asked no specifics about his crimes.
Sowell was convicted of murdering eleven women and burying their bodies in and around his Imperial Avenue home last month. The same jury that convicted him must now decide whether Sowell serves life in prison, or is put to death.
Before Sowell delivered his unsworn statement, social worker Lori Towne was on the stand for the entire morning and a portion of the afternoon. She displayed a chart detailing mental illness and physical problems on both sides of Sowell's family. She said physical and mental problems were "rampant" in the family. Sowell's mother had five children before she turned 18.
In the understatement of the trial, she called Sowell's family "dysfunctional." She said all of Sowell's siblings reacted to their harsh upbringing by "acting out" in various ways. Towne believes they have no boundaries. Sowell's siblings exhibit all kinds of issues; drug abuse, sexual dysfunction or obsession, overeating, seizures, lack of ability to care.
Towns said Sowell told her he was sexually abused as a child. This is the only testimony on that. Sowell never mentioned it to anyone.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Late in the third quarter sophomore Joel Santisteban (Lawrence, N.Y.) broke a tie while freshman Jake Slonaker (West Windsor, N.J.) added an insurance goal to lift MIT to an 8-6 win over Salem State University in a non-conference men's lacrosse tilt on Wednesday. Slonaker, sophomore Ben Hessels (Laytonsville, Md.), and junior Gabe Blanchet (Hadley, Mass.) each registered two goals for the Engineers. Senior Nate Arminio (Reston, Va.) and freshman Corey Davis (Wakefield, Mass.) both scored twice for the Vikings.
Slonaker opened the scoring after 1:02 expired in the game but Davis redirected a feed from freshman Max Gansenberg (Beverly, Mass.) to even the score. A solo effort by junior Mike Gibson (Natick, Mass.) was matched by Davis resulting in a deadlock at two at the end of the quarter.
The early stages of the second stanza were a defensive battle until Hessels put MIT in front at the 9:29 mark. He increased the margin just over a minute later and then Blanchet buried back-to-back goals seven seconds apart creating a 6-2 advantage with 6:28 on the clock. An unassisted tally by senior Daniel Murray (Salem, Mass.) ended the Vikings scoring drought which was followed by a strike by Arminio with 12 ticks left that narrowed the gap to 6-4.
Sophomore A.J. Robertson (Ipswich, Mass.), who earned the assist on Salem State's previous goal, found the back of the net at 13:33 in the third quarter. The game became a scoreless affair during the next 10 minutes, snapped by Arminio's blast which knotted the score at six. The Engineers regained the lead for good when Santisteban went coast-to-coast with 15 seconds remaining in the period.
The Vikings nearly netted the equalizer on bids by Robertson and Davis however MIT junior goalie Christopher Rullan (Wexford, Pa.) turned away both shots. The game was a back-and-forth affair until senior Ernie Park (Plainsboro, N.J.) set up Slonaker for an insurance goal with 4:44 remaining in regulation. Gansenberg and Robertson both generated shots on net down the stretch but Rullan thwarted both attempts.
Rullan finished with 12 saves and seven groundballs while freshman Quantum Wei (Springfield, Va.) added seven groundballs as well. Senior Bryan Beller (Dix Hills, N.Y.) collected six groundballs, followed by five from Santisteban and four from Gibson and sophomore Tim Wilczynski (Old Lyme, Conn.). In face-offs, Gibson went 8-for-14 while Hessels won three of his four attempts.
Senior Kyle Tuneburg (Beverly, Mass.) collected nine saves and five groundballs for the Vikings. Freshman Ian Abrahamson (Billerica, Mass.) posted four groundballs while senior Mike Yurko (Salem, Mass.) added three of his own.
Both squads resume conference play on Saturday, April 14. MIT (4-5) will visit Pilgrim League rival Babson College while Salem State (3-8) will make the trip to Keene State College for a Little East Conference battle.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A promise to help power the Obama family's residence with the sun is finally seeing the light of day.
Solar panels have begun to be installed on the White House's roof, the first time solar power will be used for a president's living quarters. The work makes good on a nearly three-year-old promise by the Obama administration to have panels on the White House by the spring of 2011.
President Jimmy Carter and President George W. Bush both employed solar power, but never for the residence itself. Carter's panels were taken down by President Ronald Reagan.
A White House official would not disclose the share of the residence's power that solar would provide, citing security concerns. The official would say only that the panels were American-made.
