Subject description: Guy on eBay selling ARM Puppy for the MK802 (etc.) for a small fee...
So I was thinking of getting an MK802 II if I could afford one, mostly because I seem to remember hearing that it was possible to run a variant of PupPi on it. So I hop over to eBay and the first listing is this one...
What the heck? Somebody is selling (it's a nominal fee, and it's on eBay, so I guess I don't mind that part) a CD of Puppy tweaked specifically for the MK802, etc., models... veeeeeeeery interesting.
I don't think he's on this forum, either. (I'm going to message him about that.)
Anyone know of anything similar, and is this sort of practice generally frowned on here (I suspect that it is, but I'm not 100% certain)?
Boy I hope this doesn't turn into a proper dustup...

As an update, I sent the fellow a message via eBay, inviting him to join here. I fully expect he'll decline, but if he joins, let's hope he doesn't (stupidly) try to make money here as well. I seem to remember one fellow on here attempting to pull that, and IIRC it did NOT go well at all.
Although... given the price he's charging, I suspect the cost only covers materials and shipping, and he's not making more than a token profit at most.
Given that, he's probably just playing distributor and someone else did the tweaking and doesn't know about that listing. Alternatively, he could be doing the tweaking and either (a) getting instructions from a post on a blog somewhere (the MK802 versions he's tested on are a bit old, so this is actually not unreasonable) or (b) he did it himself and just wants the word out regardless of how much dough it makes for him.
In any case he's small potatoes at best, and I'm not exactly worried or (significantly) troubled -- mostly my reaction was one of surprise. I actually asked him if he could whip me up a working version for my CX-01 "Android Cloud Stick"... we'll see what he says.
Most folks on eBay seem to check their messages late at night or early in the morning (my time -- US Eastern) so I expect I'll have an email from him waiting for me when I get up tomorrow. We shall see.

I see nothing wrong with someone selling a CD of Puppy for a nominal price.
There is an outfit that advertises CD/DVDs for sale on DistroWatch so how is this much different?

Just my opinion,of course,but I agree with 8-bit .While Linux is open source and can be downloaded on the internet this doesn't mean the downloader can make it work properly.What I believe you are paying for here is "expertise"and this "expertise" is what keeps every human being gainfully employed in whatever craft they choose.If I needed this Puppy,I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it.cheers

It is a valuable service for someone that has one of those devices and doesn't have a CD burner or a decent internet connection. I don't see anything wrong with it either. If I remember right, there used to be a place on the Puppy website itself to buy a version preburnt to cd.

But when someone starts exploiting free software to the point where it becomes almost malicious and deceitful like what was shown in this post http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=611778#611778 then it becomes a little ridiculous. I was quite a bit pissed when I first saw that they were selling a (barely) modified version of Puppy for 80 bucks which is completely ridiculous especially when there are literally a dozen or so of better options for free. Even with those custom usb sticks and them covering shipping costs it can't possibly cost them more than 15 to 20 dollars to produce apiece. Plus they grossly misrepresent the product such as acting like Tor is the end all for encryption and privacy while browsing; not even close, or how they recommend bcrypt for file encryption which I guess is fine for your average wanna keep your kids out of your porn stash but don't even add in any high security encryption programs like Yapet or cryptkeeper (ENCFS GUI) or anyway to connect to a secure VPN (PPTP which is built into most puppies was proven to be very insecure some time ago). Ok rant over.

To be fair Bcrypt uses blowfish encryption at 448bit , so if you choose a decent passphrase it's as secure as the industry-standard
AES 256-bit
despite what was said on the TV show "24"
Image encrypted with Bcrypt in a zip file coz this forum will not accept .bfe files as attachments

Why did you attach a BCrypted jpg image file with no provision to be able to view it?
Are you looking for someone to crack bcrypt to be able to view that image?
It just looked like a waste of forum space.

DPUP5520 was correct about Bcrypt (Blowfish) being a poor encryption method
then I wouldn't need to post the key.
The password I chose is 5ce8c032433c114e77acd086ee5633672c3efa8b
[ which is the

My internet drops out on occasion and I loose the ability to view new messages after a dropout when I am logged in.
The new message counter is reset when I log back in so I missed your reply with password.
Nice picture of a Blowfish by the way!

Cisco Unity Connection Provisioning Interface (CUPI) API -- For End Users
From DocWiki

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Links to Other API pages: Cisco_Unity_Connection_APIs
Cisco Unity Connection Provisioning Interface (CUPI) for End Users is a provisioning API for Cisco Unity Connection that has been designed to be stable and simple to use. It is based on leading industry standards for web-based API development, and provides access to many of the end user's account settings.
By using CUPI, end users can do the following:
Basics, Voice Name, Greetings
Enabling and Disabling Greetings
Previous provisioning APIs required knowledge of the underlying database, and were vulnerable to changes in the database schema. CUPI provides a layer over the database to make the interface more stable.
CUPI is standards based. CUPI was developed by using the latest advances in web-based interfaces. It is a REST interface that standardizes operations such as add, delete, and modify. The XML comes with standard XML schema definitions that are annotated with information about what is in them.
Other product groups in VTG are developing REST-based interfaces, and as the interfaces converge this positions CUPI well to fit in with them. REST interfaces also work well with Web 2.0 applications.
As a web-based interface, CUPI is independent of operating system and programming language and does not require any client libraries to use.
In order to begin developing with the Cisco Unity Connection CUPI API, you need to obtain the following:
Discounts for some of the required hardware and software may be available for participants in the Cisco Technology Developer Program.
We recommend that all developers have an up-to-date Cisco Developer Services support agreement. This provides the developer with access to professional support and assistance for application development.
Additional information about CUPI is also available on the Cisco Developer Network (link to CDN). Note, however, that the documentation here on the DocWiki is the most up-to-date documentation available for CUPI.
To participate in the CUPI forum, see the CUPI forum on CDN.
On the CUPI page on CDN, you will also find links to the CUPI WADL and CUPI XML schema.
.NET 4.0 CUPI for Users Class Library The Connection CUPI For Users class library contains a number of items that can make your .NET 4.0 applications much easier and cleaner to implement using CUPI to talk to the Connection directory. This library was used in creating the iPhone Connection CoPilot application and can be used on Windows, iOS, Android and Linux using Mono. Full source code and training videos for the library can be found on its home page here: CUPI .NET Library Home
See the following for information on troubleshooting all Connection APIs:

Reason2Ride Explodes
Our teammate, Joel has been keeping busy with a whole lot of bikey goodness. His Reasons2Ride concept has totally blown up and he's here to tell you all about it.
Reasons2Ride Explained
After close to three years of taking a vision, turning it into a workable plan and building strategic alliances, it's with great excitement I announce Reasons2Ride is officially open for business! Our shingle is out, registered with the Colorado Secretary of State as, Reasons2Ride LLC. A federal tax ID issued and deposits in the bank, it's happening! While preparing for an upcoming local radio interview, I've taken on the "Classic Journalist's" questions, (Who? What? When? Where? How? Why? Who benefits?), approach to explaining the organization. I thought it might be a cool idea for a blog to share my notes, in preparation for the interview.
Who is Reasons2Ride?
Reasons2Ride is a grass roots effort inspiring a happy healthy community by motivating people to connect with businesses and each other through bicycling.
What is Reasons2Ride doing to make that happen?
We're creating an internet-based social-network of Cycling Destinations, combining a map and thumbnails. The map displays pins that are suggested destinations for a bicycle ride and the thumbnails show a picture and provide a link to a page dedicated to that particular destination. On any one of the dedicated destination pages users can add pictures, leave comments and share with friends/family. If users choose, they can even add a destination of their own. Current destinations include museums, parks, trailheads and the likes. We are engaging businesses in the community to use this platform as a form of advertising. The model is to enhance the network, adding businesses willing to offer discounts on goods and services to people who ride bicycles to their place of business as destinations. Offers might include free appetizers or BOGO's at pubs or restaurants, maybe an extra half-hour on a massage table. Whatever the offer, the idea is to motivate people to hop on a bike, save money, have fun and develop healthy habits along the way.
When is the official launch going to take place?
It already has, we're small but starting to get noticed.
Where is Reasons2Ride operating?
Currently our efforts are concentrated on the Denver-metro area in Colorado, however we plan to and are ready to grow nationally.
How is this going to grow?
It's important for this to grow organically to have the desired impact. Stage one is our ad-hoc sign placement around the city to increase website traffic. The signs have a QR code, NFC chip and URL link to Reasons2Ride Destinations. Stage two will be branded messages using point of sale and trail signage, stickers and direct mail to broaden our reach and further encourage users to interact with comments and sharing. Stage three will be a collaborative effort to include branded public service announcements on radio and television, live interaction on the streets, contests and prizes, all to reinforce the message of, "Go ride your bicycle".
Why Reasons2Ride?
Our founder, Joel Phillips was tired of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing, watching the obesity rate (More than one third, 35.7% of us adults are obese) rise and sensing people becoming more and more unhappy (ONE in FIVE adults are on behavioral meds), he was one of those statistics himself. Then he re-discovered his bicycle and it transformed his life. His logic was that if it worked for him, it could work for anyone. Curious about others, during the summer of 2011, Joel spoke with and documented the responses of 1,887 cyclists. He found 60% rode a bike less than twice a month, but an overwhelming number, 94%, freely stated they would ride more frequently if they had a good reason.
Other than health benefits, which are numerous and very well documented, saving money topped the list. Suggesting getting a discount or a free upgrade/size at a local business was exceedingly popular. So there you have it, Joel took on the challenge of getting more people to ride bicycles more often, and this was his response.
Who benefits from Reasons2Ride?
For people, choosing to ride a bicycle benefits you and everyone in your community. In doing so you're reducing your carbon footprint, decreasing traffic congestion, increasing your physical fitness, saving money, inspiring others plus it's just plain FUN! For businesses, it's a way to connect with customers, where they "get" you are genuinely interested in and concerned for their health and happiness. These benefits go a long way in building a healthy and happy community.
All I can do now is what I've been doing for the past three years. Continue to be committed to making a difference. It may work, it may not…at least I'll know I tried. Whenever I doubt myself or what I am doing I remember these words of wisdom from John Lennon, "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality".

Expected to be unleashed in autumn of 2012, Windows 8, Microsoft's latest gamble in the desktop market is making millions of eyes turn even before its release. Loaded with a brand new yet somewhat contentious Metro interface, the touch-friendly desktop will not only be seen on laptops and PCs, but will also find its place in the swanky upcoming tablet computers.
That said, the main target group for Redmond would be the desktop, a field that they've been dominating for decades. Windows 8 will aim to obliterate all the competition by giving users an interface that will look and behave the same way across all devices. Sadly for them, and quite obviously too, Metro isn't the first to try out this unified concept. Our very own Ubuntu has been busy for a couple of years trying to polish Unity, its unified interface for computers, tablets, smartphones (see: Ubuntu For Android: Do We Really Need it?), and even TVs (see: Ubuntu TV vs. Google TV: Battle of the Linux-based Smart TV). Some even go as far as to say that Microsoft might have actually 'borrowed' that idea from its old penguinian buddy.
Rumors apart, we at TechSource believe that Ubuntu 12.04 'Precise Pangolin', despite its meager market share, is cool enough to give Windows 8 a tough time. And so, here we are pitting the mighty pangolin against Redmond's latest desktop gamble.
Unity vs. Metro
Metro kind of leveled the playing field for Unity. Earlier, critics made some biting remarks about Ubuntu's new interface; however, Shuttleworth, by making some much-needed changes in it, managed to silence most of the detractors.
Ubuntu Unity
Windows 8 on the other hand, can't manage to play such big a gamble. People pay to buy their products, and for them, another Vista could end their relationship with Microsoft.
The Interface
Metro, when compared head-on with Unity, feels a lot like a touchscreen interface. Unity, however, retains many features of a traditional desktop thus blending the best features of both interfaces. The apps, or rather tiles, show up readily on the main desktop and are quite interactive. Ubuntu, on the other hand, features a rather simple desktop with a big fat launcher at the left. It's hard to be objective for a regular Linux user while comparing these two interfaces, but I think that Metro is perhaps the most ugly user interface around. No matter how much you hate Unity, Metro kind of makes Ubuntu look 100 times better. Though you can easily switch back to the default Windows interface, it still makes you wonder why Microsoft would want to do such a disastrous thing.
* Winner: Ubuntu 12.04!
App switching, ease of use, and more
When it comes to app switching, Windows 8, be it Metro or the classic interface, steals the show. Though the Metro is a usability catastrophe on the desktop, it still has some great features to keep Windows lovers hooked to the Redmond kingdom. Switching between apps on Unity is not only difficult but also a bit tedious. Even more so if you've opened multiple instances of the same application and you click on its icon in the launcher, you get this expose mode that is completely unnecessary. Windows 8 however, makes switching easier by sticking to the traditional app switching. Even in Metro, you can switch app much like you do on the iPhone; that is, hit a single button (Windows key here) and go back to the main screen. So, summing up, when it comes to overall ease of use, we've got to hand it to Windows 8 (sans Metro).
* Winner: Windows 8!
Online integration
Ubuntu has featured online integration for a long time now. Ubuntu One is blended perfectly into the Ubuntu desktop and it serves as a great backup tool for many users and as one of the best Dropbox Alternatives for Ubuntu. Windows 8 has stepped up the game by integrating their SkyDrive online service within the upcoming operating system. Since both of them come with almost the same amount of features, it's hard to pick a winner here.
* Winner: Tie!
Problems with Metro and Unity
To sum it all up, both operating systems have their own share of flaws. While Metro struggles to please a regular desktop user, Unity still sports that unbaked, clumsy look that many traditional Linuxians despise. That said, Metro is quite ahead of Unity when it comes to the interface. Unity, though ready for the desktop, is still quite unfinished to make itself popular in the tablet and phone arena. Windows 8 however is already showing itself up on various tablets across the market. So that is quite an advantage Metro has when compared to Unity.
Only time will tell whether Windows 8 will be a hit or another Vista moment for Microsoft. Ubuntu 12.04 on the other hand is cruising swiftly towards perfection.

I can't do Phil's fancy font-effects, but have decided to bring a comment from the last post up into a post of its own. Craig Bennett asked:
Hey DJP,To this I, of course, replied:
What would your reaction be towards a person who said an angel appeared and spoke to them [sic] today?
Cut to the chase, Craig: you're pregnant.The good-humored Craig responded:
bawhhhaaa haaa nice 1 DJP,Here's my serious response.
No I'm not pregnant. However Scripture does tell us to be hospitable to strangers for they might be angels.
I'm just wondering if you would believe today if someone said they [sic] had an angelic encounter...
Craig, straight-up, I'd doubt it, on this basis:
Passages such as Hebrews 1:1-2, and 2:1-4 (among many others) make it clear that God is not sanguine about professed believers impatiently looking past His word for something better, more exciting, more entertaining. He didn't take it well when Israel ignored repeated (real-live, inerrant and binding) prophetic pleas:
Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah by every prophet and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets." 14 But they would not listen, but were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the LORD their God. 15 They despised his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers and the warnings that he gave them. They went after false idols and became false, and they followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them. 16 And they abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God, and.... (2 Kings 17:13-16)"And" what, you ask? Does it really matter? They turned from the word of God to something else. The specific form of rebellion and unbelief is secondary. He says again in Jeremiah 35:15 — "Also I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, sending them again and again, saying: 'Turn now every man from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to worship them, then you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not inclined your ear or listened to Me'" (NAS).
Now that revelation has reached its climax in God's own Son (Matthew 17:5-8; Hebrews 1:1-2), is it sane or reasonable to imagine that God's attitude towards His inerrant, binding, sufficient revelation would be more shoulder-shruggy? If we imagine so, we aren't getting the idea from His Word (Hebrews 12:25).
That, in a word, is the mind of God for our age: hear and heed what He has already said. We don't need new, we don't need more. We need to deal with what He has given. And by and large, we aren't.
As every one of us here at Pyro assesses our age, professed Christians are "into" everything but the Word of God: entertainment, fake tongues and fake prophecy and fake semi-revelation, showmen, flattery, and all the rest that the three of us frequently hold up to the harsh light of Scripture.
We've seen it in many of our commenters over the past two years. Numerous brothers and sisters scarce peep when the Gospel is perverted, when Christ is in effect dethroned, when the truth is twisted. They're non-participants. Try to open up some doctrine of Scripture, and eyes glaze over. They're no-shows.
But boy oh boy oh boy, say a word affirming the sufficiency of Scripture, or critiquing their pet-distraction, and they've nothing more exciting to do than argue. To us, it's a bit like the doctor with his "Does this hurt?" "No." "This?" "No." "This?" "YAAOOOWWWCH! WHAT ARE TRYING TO DO, KILL ME? And besides, it's not a problem!"
So, to your question, I'd start out with the expectation that God Himself is unlikely to do something that would surely be turned into Excuse #47958 For Focusing On Something Other Than God's Inerrant, Abiding, Living, Sufficient Word, something that would birth books like "Walking with Angels" and "My Homey Gabriel," and seminars on finding your angelic guide.
If it grieves a dull pinhead like me to see "evangelicals" so indifferent to His Word, and so excited about made-up playtime amusements, it's hard to imagine how God must see it.
Lame analogy: every one of my kids has on occasion balked at something their mother (or I) serve at mealtime. Now my dear, long-suffering wife has never yet served them a plate of poison toadstools or bloated roadkill. Her food's always good, nourishing, edible, made with mother's love, all that wonderful stuff. So I require that they eat what they're served, no matter what dramatics they produce — and let's all grant that all kids know how to bring the drama.
Sometimes these sessions have developed into fairly long-lasting contests of will. I have memories and mental images that still amaze me.
Now, if I have said (sing it with me), "This isn't a cafeteria, it isn't poison, I expect you to you eat what you're served," and there's resistance — what should I do? If I go back on my word, then my kids know forever that I can be rolled, that I don't mean what I say, that they can't take what I say on its face and go to the bank with it. In short, that I'm a weak-willed liar. I would have done them a terrible disservice.
But suppose I came in and said, "Oh, while you're sitting there disdainfully contemplating the food your mother served you, and deciding for yourself what you feel like doing about it — whether you think you want to eat it or not — here's a bit of chocolate! And if you hold out longer, I'll go get some pizza and ice cream."
What then? Haven't I just undone my whole point, and made it easier for them to disrespect and disobey and miss the whole point of this exercise?
So, living as we do in the epoch following the completion and close of the Canon, I would approach a claim to angelic dialogue with a strong bias towards its unlikeliness.
And yes, I am aware of (and believe) the verse in Hebrews. It's about being hospitable. We should be hospitable. It isn't about looking for angelic visitation, is it?
Thanks for asking.

Is lifting/borrowing/copying documents and photos from one Ancestry.com tree to add to your own without contacting the tree owner a lack of courtesy or a lack of common sense? Those "lifters" do realize that the documents and photos were added by another individual. They don't think that Ancestry.com put them there do they? Like maybe the shaking leaf appeared and so did a document?
I added a handful of photos and documents to my Ancestry.com tree last year. My thought was that surely somebody would contact me once they see this great information. That didn't happen. Don't they wonder if there is more where that came from? Don't they wonder how we are related?
One person lifted a German church record from my tree and added it to theirs. This church record is from 1788 in Klepsau, Baden, Germany. It took me a long, long time to find this record (scrolling, scrolling, scrolling through microfilm) and took me a long time to eventually get it translated. The devil in me wants to email this person, that placed in on their tree, and ask "do you even have a clue as to what that document is or says???" Well, I did email them...twice but have received no response. I let them know that my Ancestry.com tree is what I use as a sort of "working" tree and that I have so much more than what is online.
At this point I'm wondering if they are really that rude as to not answer after I've reach out to them twice. I also wonder if maybe they are embarrassed to have been "caught" lifting. After reviewing their tree I can see I have a lot to offer them but if they don't have the comment sense to reply to my emails there is nothing I can do about it.
It's not the borrowing of the documents I have a problem with. I do that myself. But I never borrow without contacting the owner and letting them know we have a common ancestor and I am happy to share what information I have.

The Sunday Salon
After a rough stretch of slumpy reading, I think I might've finally settled into a stride. This week I received The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, by Naomi Wolf, in the mail from Chelsea Green Publishing for review. I've had my eye on this provocative book since I heard Wolf give an interview about it on NPR. The premise is this:
In a stunning indictment of the Bush administration and Congress, best-selling author Naomi Wolf lays out her case for saving American democracy. In authoritative research and documentation Wolf explains how events of the last six years parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century's worst dictatorships such as Germany, Russia, China, and Chile.
The book cuts across political parties and ideologies and speaks directly to those among us who are concerned about the ever-tightening noose being placed around our liberties.
In this timely call to arms, Naomi Wolf compels us to face the way our free America is under assault. She warns us–with the straight-to-fellow-citizens urgency of one of Thomas Paine's revolutionary pamphlets–that we have little time to lose if our children are to live in real freedom.
I'm not terribly far into it, but so far it seems tirelessly researched, meticulously documented, and wonderfully written. And it makes me angry. Very angry. But I'll share more when I review it properly.
I've also started The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri, and I LOVE IT. I read her Pulitzer-winning short story collection, Interpreter of Maladies, several years ago and remember her style being warm and cozy. Maybe it's a weird way to describe stories that often spoke of loneliness and heartache, but the reading itself was just so darn pleasant. I love the details Lahiri includes that make exotic places come to life and endear me to characters that aren't always very likeable.
The Namesake is no different so far. The details are great, the reading is smooth like butta, and the mental images she conjures up are stunning. Here's one of many favorite passages:
"A slight limp causes Ashoke's right foot to drag almost imperceptibly with each step. Since childhod he has had the habit and the ability to read while walking, holding a book in one hand on his way to school, from room to room in his parents' three-story house in Alipore, and up and down the red clay stairs. Nothing roused him. Nothing distracted him. Nothing caused him to stumble. As a teenager he had gone through all of Dickens. He read newer authors as well, Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham, all purchased from his favorite stall on College Street with pujo money. But most of all he loved the Russians. His paternal grandfather, a former professor of European literature at Calcutta University, had read from them aloud in English translations when Ashoke was a boy. Each day at tea time, as his brothers and sisters played kabadi and cricket outside, Ashoke would go to his grandfather's room, and for an hour his grandfather would read supine on the bed, his ankles curled at his side. For that hour Ashoke was deaf and blind to the world around him." (pg 12)
Of course, it doesn't hurt that this passage is about books, but the whole novel is infused with great details. Foods, colors, sensations. I just love Lahiri and would love to write like her. And she needs to put out another book soon or I might just curl up and whine once I'm done with this one.
Enough of my prattle. I'm going back to the books!
Happy salonning to everyone!

I watched the movie, The Namesake, recently and thought it was very well done. I enjoyed the book, but wasn't wowed by the story, if that makes sense. I think I appreciated the movie more than I did the book. It was probably timing more than anything else. I really did like the author's writing, however.ReplyDelete
Hey, I just saw Naomi Wolf speak on a panel on "Defining Beauty." Will be blogging that soon :) I heard this latest book was very good.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean about the anger that gets stirred up when reading about the crap that is happening under this administration. A couple of months back I read Naomi Kline's book "The Shock Doctrine" and not only did I see what is happening politically and economically (in this case it's all bound up together), I also saw some stuff that sort of hit home. Her book prompted me to research the CIA's interrogation of enemy combatants called the Kubark Manual and I saw things in that the police used on my daughter-in-law. In turn, somehow this lead me to research The John Reid method and now I am on the rampage. I won't rant on your blog. However, I will say that you may want to pass on the word to your faithful readers that no matter what, if you are ever detained or arrested please, please, please do not say a word! Never, ever talk to cops! If there are any cops reading this blog...well...again, I won't be rude on someone else's blog. Anyway, A-Train please warn people if they want to save themselves a lot of money, seemingly endless trouble, and tons of heartache, never talk to cops except to say I want a lawyer and that is all! Maybe I should stop reading books that get me all riled-up.ReplyDelete
The Naomi Wolf sounds very interesting. And I'm also a fan of Lahiri, having read both The Namesake and Interpreter of Maladies. I also have the DVD of The Namesake at home waiting to be viewed ...ReplyDelete
The Namesake is one of my all time favorite books. And yes, she does write as smooth as butta (love that!). Her writing has what the entertainers call the "it" factor - that indefinable something that makes it stand out as remarkable and unique.ReplyDelete
I made the mistake of loaning my copy (hardcover!) to a co-worker who left the company without returning it. I'm still upset about it. I know I can buy another one, but it's not the same.
Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I was disappointed in the movie, however. As you might imagine, it couldn't do justice to that writing :)
I have The Namesake in my stacks. Loaned it out to a friend who loved it. Now to read it myself!!ReplyDelete
Going to an Obama rally this Friday night!!! Our caucus in Saturday night!!! YES WE CAN!!! :)
I wish Jhumpa Lahiri would hurry up and publish something else too. I still remember a couple of the stories from Interpreter of Maladies and I read it several years ago.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous2/03/2008 11:51 PM
I liked Lahiri's writing style, but I found the stories in Maladies very slight. I'd be curious to read more by her.ReplyDelete
I'm going to keep an eye out for Maladies, as I enjoyed the Namesake a lot too. Embarassingly, I borrowed a copy from a close friend and this post's made me realise I still have it. I hate when people do that to me so I'm going to return it as soon!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous2/04/2008 11:14 AM
I loved 'The Namesake' and 'Interpreter of Maladies' was the only short story collection I couldn't put down. There is a new Lahiri due later this year called 'Unaccustomed Earth'.ReplyDelete
I looved The Namesake! (which is why I'm avoiding the movie) I can't wait for that new Lahiri to come out. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Blogger has been a beast lately, so I hope you do not have any troubles leaving your thoughts.

Great Lent and the Fast in the Eastern Churches
What is Great Lent?
In the Western Church, Lent is name of the season of 40 days before the feast of Easter. However, in the Eastern Church, there are other Lenten periods of penance and fasting throughout the liturgical year. The Eastern Church also observes the Nativity Fast before the feast of the Nativity, the Apostles Fast between Pentecost and the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, and the Fast of the Theotokos prior to the Feast of the Dormition of Mary. Great Lent is specifically the Lenten period of fasting and penance before the celebration of the Pascha. The word Easter is typically only used in the West; Pascha, from the Greek word for the Hebrew Passover, is the name used in the Eastern Catholic Church for the Easter feast. Great Lent is called 'Great' because this Lenten period is longer and more intense than the other Lenten periods and is the most important Lenten season as it is the time for preparing for the most important liturgical feast of the year, Pascha.
When is Great Lent?
In the West, Lent before Easter starts on Ash Wednesday and ends at the end of Holy Saturday, when the Easter Vigil begins. The Paschal cycle in the Eastern Church however, is more involved.
The Triodion: Before the great forty days, there is a pre-Lenten season named the Triodion, a time of preparing for Great Lent. The 10th Sunday before Pascha, the Gospel reading covers the Publican and the Pharisee, a reminder to not boast about fasting, and to act with humility and repentance. The 9th Sunday before Pascha focuses on the Prodigal Son, a parable which teaches about realization of one's sinfulness and the road to repentance and reconciliation. Meat fare week is the 8th Sunday before Pascha and the last day that meat may be taken; it is followed by Cheese fare week, the 7th Sunday before Pascha and the last day that dairy may be eaten.
Great Lent (Or the Great Forty Days): Great Lent actually begins on Clean Monday, 48 days before the feast of Pascha. The name Clean Monday is alluding to the leaving behind of sinful attitudes or behavior as well as non-fasting foods. Great Lent then continues for the next five Sundays: Triumph of Orthodoxy, Holy Relics and St. Gregory Palamas, Veneration of Holy Cross, Commemoration of our Holy Father John Climacus, and the Commemoration of our Venerable Mother Mary of Egypt. Unlike in the West, Sundays are included in the 40 days of Lent. Also, in the Eastern Church, Holy Week is not a part of the 40 days but is considered as a separate entity from the rest of Great Lent.
Great and Holy Week: Holy Week, also called Great and Holy Week begins with Lazarus Saturday, 8 days before Pascha. It then continues with Palm Sunday (the entry of Christ into Jerusalem), Great and Holy Monday which remembers Joseph of the Old Testament who was sold into slavery, Holy Tuesday (the Parable of the ten virgins), Holy Wednesday, (the anointing of Jesus with myrrh by the woman in the house of Simon the Leper), Great and Holy Thursday (the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper), Great and Holy Friday (the Passion of Christ) and the last day before Pascha, Great and Holy Saturday.
Lenten Fasting
In the West, in the Latin Rite Church, there are days of abstinence from meat and days of fasting when only a certain amount of food is to be taken. However in the Eastern Catholic Church, there are different fasting guidelines for different days and seasons. The fasting guidelines in the East maintain the Apostolic tradition from the very early Church, as taught by the Fathers and as outlined in the Didache, the first catechism used in the Church and dating from the first century. During the Triodion, Great Lent, and Great and Holy Week, there are very specific fasting regulations:
- The Sunday of the Pharisee and the Publican: This is a feast week; there is no fasting permitted.
- The Sunday of the Prodigal Son: During this week, the normal year-round routine of fasting on Wednesday and Friday resumes.
- Third Sunday, Sunday of Meatfare: This Sunday is the last day meat is eaten until the feast of the Pascha. In this usage, meat refers to the flesh from a vertebrate, which is an animal with a spine/backbone and does include, aside from mammals and birds, fish. However, on certain days fish may be eaten. Essentially, at this point, Eastern Catholics are eating as vegetarians.
- Fourth Sunday, Sunday of Cheesefare: This is the last day until Pascha that products from an animal with a vertebrate may be eaten. This includes foods such as such as milk, eggs, butter, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. From this point on the diet until Pascha is essentially vegan. This continues through Great Lent and Great and Holy Week until the fasting ends at Pascha.
- Great Lent: The guidelines above continue, with regulations as to when meals are to be eaten. The first week of Lent, in the five weekdays only two meals are to be taken – on Wednesday and Friday. For Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, those who can are encouraged to fast completely; those who are unable to do so are to take bread and water (or tea or juice) after evening vespers. The remainder of Great Lent, one meal is taken each weekday. For Saturday and Sundays throughout Great Lent, two meals are taken each day, and wine and oil are allowed but meat and other animal products are not.
- Great and Holy Week: During Great and Holy Week fasting in intensified. Monday through Thursday, one meal each day is taken, though faithful who are able to may fast completely. Many eat only uncooked food on these days. Traditionally, no meals are to be taken on Friday and Saturday of Holy Week. Those who are unable to keep this fast are once again to take bread and either water, tea or juice.
It is recommended that you check with your priest or eparchy for more information about fasting regulations within your specific tradition and jurisdiction.

In collaboration with the Polymath project (and many thanks to Terry Tao for making this happen, and putting in lots of editing work in short order), there's now a new wiki to collect various threads of the discussion on the Deolalikar P != NP paper (which has been updated). With a lot of help from Terry, I've seeded the wiki with the initial discussion points that have come up. Please continue to edit this page as new ideas come up, or there's other discussion of the paper.
This wiki replaces the Google doc that I had originally set up: it's a lot easier to edit, and Google was struggling under the weight of all the people trying to view the file.
The Lipton/Regan posts will continue to host the main research threads. If you are so inclined, you can use this post for "meta"-discussions as is customary in polymath land. Content will be transferred over to the wiki periodically, and more discussion threads can be forked if things start getting unwieldy (the first Lipton post is pushing 117 comments already).

Cream/Gel Eyeliner: The Best of the Best
Cream/Gel Eyeliner Breakdown
Cream/gel eyeliners are usually thick creams (the consistency of a cream, but the thickness of more like a paste… or a lipstick, for a better beauty reference!). They usually require a brush to apply it, and most use these on the upper lash line (they can be irritating on the lower lash line, particularly for those with more sensitive eyes). They're a very, very popular item with numerous brands having their own take on the cream/gel eyeliner product type.
At the end of the day, they're all quality cream/gel eyeliners and none are not worth paying for. As with many cosmetic products, some will work better on others–we're not all going to fall in love with the same formula–but I do think these are all good picks. Personally, I tend to choose by the color/shade rather than the brand! If I had to give you a top three (in alphabetical order), they would be: Bobbi Brown, MAC, and shu uemura.

I get so excited when good new product releases happen, and right now that happens to be at West Elm. Take a peek at some of my most favorite things right now (time to freshen up our homes for spring!)
These lamps look similar to a much more expensive desk lamp I've been eying.
The brass accents on these globe pendants are awesome as are these celestial looking votives.
A nice tall tufted headboard and cool blanket reminiscent of the ever popular (but ever shedding and noisy) Moroccan wedding blanket.
LOVE LOVE these nightstands and am super duper into simple round mirrors right now.
A mid-century influenced coffee table with brass feet and a great woven rug.
Speaking of wedding blankets, here's a pouf made of one (put a pair at the end of a small bed or tucked under a console!) and these marble and brass shelves ARE EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. Perfect for a kitchen!
And when one of these days it becomes spring, these new patio items will be awesome. LOVING the planters and these modern woven chairs.
I love the white and wood mix of this chair and these square modern planters.
Adore these simple brass hurricanes and these fun wall planters for succulents.
More patio furniture- simple folding chairs and streamlined dining.
A cute little brass handled box and pretty ombre coral print.
To die for seaglass inspired bottles that would look amazing as a collection on a mantle or bookshelf and a simple butlers tray stand that could serve well as a small bar in a living room.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Shooting away from home for the first time this season, the MIT rifle team defeated the University of the Sciences, 4,316-3,911, today. Sophomore Sarah Wright (Christchurch, New Zealand) fired a career best 575 in the small bore competition to lead the Engineers.
Wright fired a 99 and a 98 in the prone rounds of the small bore event on her way to the 575, the top score among all competitors. Senior Kaiying Liao (Issaquah, Wash.) had the second highest score in the meet for the Engineers, totaling a 548 that was just two off her previous personal best. Sophomore Abra Shen (Toronto, Ontario) turned in a 512 for MIT, while fellow sophomore Helen Liu (Cortland, N.Y.) completed the scoring with a 482, another season best for the Engineers.
In air rifle Liao edged out Sam Fowler from the University of the Sciences by three points for the top score with a 567. Wright finished right behind the pair in third overall with her score of 562. Freshman Kevin Ng (Coral Springs, Fla.) and sophomore Eeway Hsu (Menlo Park, Calif.) both had season best scores to complete the scoring for MIT, turning in totals of 536 and 534.

Give your guests the an hour of amazement and laughter with one of John King's hillarious, interactive hypnotism shows.
Watch your guests gasp in awe as volunteers instantly appear to fall asleep on stage and carry out John's every command.
Participants have fun letting their imaginations run riot by taking part in a series of hillarious sketches that can include going on holiday, being part of a band, witnessing the murder of a fairy, being the world's greatest artist, seeing the entire audience naked and even appearing on a TV game show!
Highlights of one of John's shows at Piperdam, Dundee
Highlights of one of John's shows at Greenock Town Hall
Whilst our hypnotism shows can work well with small audiences, larger audiences are preferred in order to create the right atmosphere and ensure that there would be enough voluntary participants. We can cater to events of up to 500 people.
For audiences of under 40 people, we recommend you check out John King's intimate magic shows.
A stage or large performance area (such as a dancefloor), a seated audience, at least 6 chairs, a PA system and a wireless microphone is required. We can provide the PA and wireless microphone if required.
Volunteers who participate in the show must be aged 18 years or older.
There are no age restrictions on viewing this show. The show content is aimed at being family friendly and is suitable for all to watch. However, please be aware that occasionally participants may swear or do random things on stage outwith the performers control.
Timings can vary, but the show is approximagely 1 hour. Due to the nature of hypnotism shows, timings may vary depending on how responsive the volunteers are.
When purchaced alongside our mobile disco service, the lighting effects and react with the shows contents, helping to create an even more spectacular, immersive and theatrical experience. For example, when the hypnotised subects believe they are lying on a beach, the lights go yellow to simulate sunlight or when they believe they are band members, the lights react in time to the music.
It is important to understand that this is an audience participation show and as such the show's success is heavily dependant on the cooperation and enthusiasm of the show's participants. With that in mind, it is vitally important to ensure that you will have at least 10 willing & cooperative volunteers present at the show before booking who agree to do everything John says with enthusiasm. If this requirement is not met, the show cannot proceed and will still be chargeable.
Despite what the show looks like, the purported 'hypnotism' that John performs is created entirely using a series of conjuring techniques and psychological trickery and does not involve any kind of genuine trance whatsoever.
The exact method John uses is a closely guarded secret, but John does not utilise any kind of trance or genuine mind control as part of his methodology - hard to believe we know - but all participants are fully conscious and fully aware of everything that is going on around them at all times and participate of their own free will.
For further information, quotes or to make a booking, simply contact us and a member of our team will contact you back at the earliest opportunity.
Please be aware that due to demand, our team cannot cater to every enquiry that we recieved. Early booking is strongly advised as bookings are made on a first-come, first-served basis.Contact Us

Red Wings top Sabres in NHL season opener
DETROIT (AP) — Pavel Datsyuk and Mikael Samuelsson scored 36 seconds apart midway through the first period to lift the Detroit Red Wings past the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 Wednesday in the NHL season-opener for both teams.
Elsewhere, the Toronto Maple Leafs improved to 2-0 on the new season with a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers and the Colorado Avalanche routed the Anaheim Ducks 6-1 in Patrick Roy's debut as head coach.
Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard made 19 saves in the Red Wings' first game in the Eastern Conference after moving from the West as part of the NHL's realignment plan this season.
Zemgus Girgensons scored with 7:24 left in the game to pull the Sabres to within a goal, but Buffalo couldn't get the equalizer.
Buffalo also couldn't take advantage during a two-man power play for 1:31 early in the first period and for 51 seconds late in the second.
Dave Bolland scored twice and Phil Kessel added a goal for the Maple Leafs, who followed up their season-opening win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday with a victory in Philadelphia.
Jonathan Bernier stopped 31 shots for the Maple Leafs.
Toronto acquired Bolland and Bernier in the offseason to bolster their bid to make a run in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season.
In Denver, Semyon Varlamov made 35 saves and Jamie McGinn scored two goals for the Avalanche.
Ryan O'Reilly, John Mitchell, Matt Duchene and Steve Downie also had goals, while Alex Tanguay, back with Colorado for the first time since the 2005-06 season, had three assists.
Viktor Fasth struggled for Anaheim, allowing three goals in the second period.

Congressman Mark Meadows got a special Christmas delivery Monday, one that gave him the opportunity to talk farming, flooding and the Farm Bill.
Congressman Mark Meadows got a special Christmas delivery Monday, one that gave him the opportunity to talk farming, flooding and the Farm Bill.
Rodney Buchanan, a Mitchell County tree grower and president of the N.C. Christmas Tree Association, and its executive director, Jennifer Greene, drove down from Bakersville to present Meadows with a 6-foot-tall Fraser fir for his local congressional office.
The two industry leaders thanked Meadows for his support of farmers in the 11th District, and the congressman returned the favor by presenting Buchanan and Greene with two flags that had flown over the U.S. Capitol.
"For them to bring this tree down here touched me, because it reflects the hours we've spent reaching out to them trying to address their issues," Meadows said.
This summer, Meadows toured farms throughout his district and met with growers dealing with the impacts of flooding.
Buchanan said the Fraser fir he brought came from a field where 500 to 750 trees of the same size drowned during this summer's deluge, adding that labor shortages are "our biggest challenge right now."
On Monday, Meadows said he was working the phones trying to get the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee "to make sure that some of the programs that our farmers rely on get put back in the Farm Bill." He said conferees have set a goal of having a 2013 Farm Bill ready for a vote by Dec. 13.
Meadows said he's pushing for the bill to reinstate the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments program and to include a guest worker program to help address ongoing labor shortages.
The SURE program was included in the 2008 Farm Bill as a form of "permanent" disaster aid program, but its funding expired in 2011. The program supplements growers' crop insurance contracts, which only cover a portion of yield during times of natural disaster.
"So we're trying to make sure that we have that in (the bill) and I'm optimistic we'll be able to do that," Meadows said. "And honestly, guest workers are really something that we need to address for many of the jobs that, quite frankly, we don't have enough people to do, whether it's cutting Christmas trees or picking apples. It's still a huge need and when you have a bumper crop, it's even worse."
Like this year's apple crop, North Carolina's 2013 Christmas tree production "promises to be one of the best in recent years," according to the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Greene said cash receipts for N.C. Christmas trees were $85 million last year, ranking the state second in the U.S.
Buchanan said Christmas trees support many small family farmers in WNC, with economic impacts that trickle down beyond the fields filled with Fraser firs.
"I'd hate to take a guess at how many people are working Christmas trees right now," he said. "It would be unreal, between cutting, baling, loading crews, even wreath-making and garland, all the way through truck drivers. We have a restaurant and Saturday, they had a special dinner just for the tree crews to show their appreciation for (them) eating lunch there every day. So it goes all the way down to the gas stations."
From Christmas trees to apples, Meadows said the 11th District's farming community "represents not only a great part of our economy but an integral part of who we are as North Carolinians. I feel better every time I'm out getting a little bit of mud on my shoes."

I was 8 years military and on a fast track. I was at the airport heading to Saudi on 9/11. Took me 10 days more to finally get there, but I made it. I saw a lot of things, worked in the CAOC with many multi-national officers and enlisted. Worked with 3-stars down to Colonels. At one point, OSI felt comfortable enough with me to let me drive the 3-star commander around. Of course, my base back home was on pins and needles hoping I wouldn't open my mouth and start WW while I was over there!! I was the only female allowed off base and into Riyadh during the continuous Charlie/Delta defcon. I was asked my opinion on military women having to wear the abaya when off base. Yes, I gave it honestly. The Mattawa had to tell me many times to "cover my hair" and did not like it when I informed them that I was not my sargeant's "woman". I did not get to go to the front line, but yes, I wish I could have. I had trained many people to deploy, showing them how to put up tents on a bare base; set up the hospital; work through days wearing chem suits, provide local security. I taught the obstacle course and personal carry classes. I am 5'2 and I was 130 and I demonstrated ALL the carries with the men being carried. I told the women that if they could not lift their male counterparts, then they needed to hit gym immediately bc nobody else was going to do it and nobody trusted them to cover their back. I pissed off a lot of people and they wrote about it on their critiques, but by me doing the work and teaching how it's done, many women understood the seriousness of going into battle with only what you have. I shot expert and got along with both males and females while I was there. I can see where some men would not want women over there bc their perception is that women are weaker both physically and mentally. It is the men's problem if they can't separate their feelings of "seeing a mother, or daughter" being hurt or killed. I was very lucky. My flight saw me climbing to the top of the racks in storage rooms to get things when I could have asked someone to do it. I never asked anyone to do what I wouldn't or couldn't do. They trusted me completely and expected me to carry my load. It was on me to prove that I could do it. Sometimes, it is the men's perceptions that allow women to not achieve their fullest potential. Yes, I have been in altercations and situations that I feared for myself, but I managed to make my way through them. The funny thing is...I would love to rejoin and go back, but I wouldn't want my son to. He was Army Reserve for a few years. Wasn't his thing and I couldn't imagine serving under Obama. I have my picture with Pres Bush and very proud of it. Sorry for rattling on, but could tell many stories...LOL

Off Beat Mini Truckin News, Email, Web - April 2014
The New 2015 Chevy Colorado
The redefined midsize will offer real truck capabilities and versatility to those who don't require a fullsize pickup. "The all-new Chevy Colorado benefits from the solid foundation established by the Chevy Silverado and it reinvents the midsize truck while reinvigorating the segment at the same time" says Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president and president of GM North America.
A 2.5L I-4 comes standard in the new Chevy Colorado, and a 3.6L V-6 is also available. The 2.5L is also available with a six-speed manual trans on extended cab and 2WD Work Truck models. The Colorado will also offer the segment's only diesel engine in its second year -- a proven Duramax 2.8L I-4 turbodiesel already offered in global markets. Look for packages including an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5- or 6-foot bed, a WT, LT, and Z71 trim options. Read up on more of the exciting new release at chevrolet.com.

Howdy from Montana!
First off I'm glad to see that the minitrucking scene hasn't faded into oblivion. I am an avid minitrucker from the early '80s. Built my first show truck back in 1987. Now I'm on a mission to find her replacement. I've hit the craigslist ads here and there with no such luck. Is there a hiding place where all these classic minis can be found? All I'm looking for is one that I can do a basic static drop on, nothing fancy. Thus the reason why I'm asking the minitruckin families out there to possibly give this aging (49) minitrucker a hand.
Thanks in advance,
Yep, we haven't gone anywhere. Actually, we were waiting for you to come back. Sorry if that sounds a little on the creepy side. Anyways, thanks for writing in, and it's awesome to hear about you scouting for a new mini project. Craigslist is actually a great place to start looking for a truck, but we would suggest expanding your search by looking at ads from surrounding cities/counties/states. The truck you're after may be only a couple hours away from your front door step. Also, you can try eBay, Mautofied.com, good ol' Facebook minitruck community pages, or you can email us for help (that is if you'll be kind enough to put up a finder's fee hehe). Good luck in your search, sir, and please keep us in the loop!

Facebook Fans The Flames Of Its TOS Change Overreaction
from the guilty-conscience? dept
Even so, it's hard to think that nobody at Facebook anticipated it and took some proactive steps to address the changes and attempt to allay concerns and preclude the overreaction. Instead, Zuckerberg responds only after the fuss has been kicked up, and his explanation comes off as damage control, regardless of the motivations behind it or the TOS change. This situation seems akin to the scandal that emerged after the heads of US automakers took private jets to Washington when they went to ask for government bailout money. Whether or not the indignation over the private flights was warranted was mostly irrelevant, but the fact that nobody at the automakers anticipated it and raised a red flag smacks of stupidity. It's hard to imagine that nobody at Facebook could have seen this storm of complaints coming, generated by what many there saw as a minor TOS change. Is Facebook's TOS change really that bad? No, it's not particularly egregious -- but by not staying ahead of the backlash, Facebook comes off looking the worse for it. The point isn't that Facebook or any other company shouldn't change their TOS to better reflect their businesses and technology, but that in this day and age, any "minor" change is going to attract lots of scrutiny, and, in all likelihood, will be misunderstood and misinterpreted. This makes the handling of the change much more important than the change itself.

• 2 Summer lingers in the form of multicolored heirloom tomatoes …
• 3 … and blushing, glowing plums.
• 4 Of all the colorful apples, we're especially smitten with these Pink Ladies.
• 5 Despite the persistence of stone fruits and tomatoes, there are definite signs of fall.
• 6 We love the fun stripes and colors of delicata squash.
• 7 Rich purple plums are perfect for pies and jam.
• 8 At one stand, bold pink pomegrantes kiss soft green grapes.
• 9 Dusky orange pumpkins and speckled green calabazas make a calming palette.
• 10 Hurrah for winter squash season and all its colors!

I had this same problem once with a bollard and thought, "maybe that'll trick a crackhead." To avoid a fail, I then U-locked the front wheel, unplugged the Stokemonkey, and toe-strapped the front brake. If the cable-around-the-bollard trick didn't fool the crackhead, he'd surely not get far with the front brake on.
Sometimes I'll also just pull right into a parking slot, and immobilize the bike, as noted above.
What are your locking techniques for a cargo bike? I know Val figures that his Dreadnaught is so intimidating few would consider stealing it and if they do, it isn't going far with the brakes locked.
