I'm glad to have found this forum because there is so much more to Burning Man than the "performance" or event, per se. Here is where many of the issues surrounding and relating to the event, can be discussed. All of what you say has merit. Also, I don't believe that I'm spouting lies simply because I've never been to this event (though I know many who have). I'd like to believe that I'm an educated individual; in no way am I saying anything new. It appears that everyone here knows how to recycle.
Dork, I refer you to the following reputable link in response to your retort: http://www.sierraclub.org/wildlands/black_rock.asp. Also, you're right; it's all about the motive. Every action we make has a motive. The motive here is money. Related to that, and to theCryptofishist's comments, check this article out: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... JRFGB6.DTL
Let me just say that I can appreciate people who are passionate about their role in the Burning Man community and also in the larger global arena. People who are aware of their responsibility to society and to the environment are, in my mind, ideal burners.
I don't know what to expect at Burning Man, but that's part of the fun. Meeting all of you there would be a treat because you could teach me a thing or two. I guess, ultimately I'm playing the devil's advocate here. I don't think anyone who has responded to this form, other than our dear wonderhope, would openly admit here that what they are doing by purchasing a ticket and participating in this event, is contributing to a problem that we now face and will continue to deal with for the unforeseeable future.
motskyroonmatick, I can't wait to tell you about my experience. It's going to fantastic!
HUH? To all the newbies its a fucking camping trip. Larry is just a guy in a fucking hat. When you get there you're either going to get it or you're not. Get over it!
no wait burning sucks don't go...stay at home. you wont like it.

Debate question
I have an question in regard to debates and I am wondering if someone can help.
We know sometimes people use logical fallacies (Ad homien, Strawman, tu quoque, etc) which make their statement invalid.
Your statement is false cause you are gay. (no offense to gays out there)
^ Which is an ad homien attack.
Now the question is, if someone just going around using logical fallacies terms without actually refuting the statement, is there an actual counter term?
A. Country X is terrible because they use chemical weapons in War.
B. But Country Y and Z also use chemical weapons, even on their own population! Are they not terrible?
A LOL tu quoque.

I've encountered this too, usually it seems like something people like to bring up in order to sound smart. On the Internet, this is a good sign that the opposing party's head is stuck too far up their ass to get anything out of the debate, meaning you should disengage. The problem is that they invoke something like "logical fallacy" when in fact it doesn't really hold water. If they explained why exactly they were using it it would be fine, but they don't.
It is in such situations that I find myself unbelievably in agreement with Mao Zedong, who said, "[the intellectuals] ought to be aware of the truth that actually many so-called intellectuals are, relatively speaking, quite ignorant and the workers and farmers sometimes know more than they do."

Indeed. If someone is going to claim you committed a logical fallacy, they have the burden to show exactly where you committed and how. Not everything that might be considered a logical fallacy, really is one.
For instance, one favorite is "correlation does not equal causation." They typically use this to dismiss you bringing up anything that might be related, as a way to dismiss your argument. But as XKCD points out on correlation, that doesn't automatically dismiss the point.
In short, demand they explain how you committed the alleged fallacy, or you will consider the accusations false and retracted. And if someone does resort to ad hominem, well, that pretty much destroys all their arguments. I find that, if someone has to resort to attacking you as a person, stating things about you that you know aren't true, then they've as good as admitted they have no good arguments. Going after you personally is their last gasp resort.
So, not enough to know about a fallacy and casually toss it out in an argument. They have to be ready to explain how it applies. This latter part is where most fail.

Accusing a person of committing fallacies isn't a good way to "win" an argument, I find. Just address the point without ever actually saying the F word. Saying the F word will just make them angry.
And they may not be making a fallacy either. A lot of people assume their "opponent" is committing a fallacy, when in fact the opponent is right, and they're wrong. Always keep in mind the possibility that you might be wrong.
More to the point, I find this essay, to be informative reading.

^Yeah the principle of charity comes into play. Although its hard sometimes to do your opponent a favour like charity it is necessary for a good, intellectually fruitful debate. I've noticed people will be very uncharitable towards your arguments just to find something to attack when you didn't really mean what they've interpreted but you don't have the time to correct them on every single point so you end up never really addressing the core issue of the debate. sigh. I often debate to learn new things, some others debate to be right even when they may not be so. Finger pointy fallacies is a kinda safety mechanism for them to fall back on to keep their ego's unchecked.

I think everyone would get along better if every single "counter argument" started with: "That's a good point because of X, Y and Z.."
@Archmagexin -- The fallacy you're looking for above would be categorized as Argument from Fallacy (which is the same as the Fallacy Fallacy) posted above, but again .. the use of that fallacy still doesn't immediately counteract as you mentioned Tu quoque (Appeal to Hypocrisy)

Terms like Ad Hominem, tu quoque or Strawman should only be used when talking about debate, but not in a debate.
Accusing a person of any of these things often becomes a kind of "Ad hominem" in and of itself, as you're basically accusing the other person has poor logic, while not really resolving anything.
And it's very easy to misfire on a fallacies. There's a fine line between "Strawman" and "taking things to their logical conclusion". The former is indeed a fallacy, but the latter is a valid debate technique, going back to Socrates.

Is there such a fallacy where X forces Y to take a position that s/he doesn't necessarily believe in and makes it the focus of an argument?
For example Y is arguing whether evidence exists that a bunny rabbit ate a carrot, and X asserts that Y must believe that the bunny ate the carrot when Y merely said that there is evidence for it. X then goes on to shape his entire argument around it, arguing something that is not what Y intended but Y cannot concede or he loses the debate?

It all depends on the context of the argument. In many cases, it is a proper debate tactic to force your opponent to follow their logic to it's ultimate conclusion, when you know that your opponent would definitely not agree to the ultimate conclusion.
I think what you are looking for, is the "slippery slope" fallacy, which depends on such context as to whether it is valid. Slippery Slope is used when you feel your opponent is arguing for a particular step, and you say that if we take that step, it will definitely lead to other steps which are not desirable (usually not desirable to either debater).
This works when you can show that such slippery slope things have actually happened in real life, ie, if someone argues that the best form of a leadership is to give one person all power, and they can do great things. But you rebut with "Yeah, but too many cases in history where one person gets all the power, end in dictatorships which are bad for the people." The slippery slope argument is correct here, because there is past historical evidence to suggest the slope arguments actually happen.
Where it doesn't work, is when you try to apply the slippery slope to an argument, where there is little to no evidence (or evidence that runs counter to it) that such steps actually will happen. Like if someone argues that banning alcohol is a slippery slope to tyranny. There is no evidence this is the case, and you can bring up a past example in the US, where the forces of liberty and freedom were such that the ban was later reversed. Therefore, the slippery slope fallacy is invalid in this case.
So, in short, depends on the argument and the evidence. At least, this is what I think is closest to what you are asking. Let me know if it doesn't seem to be the case. By using the slippery slope, you are forcing your opponent to either justify why we won't slide to the bottom of the slope, or to argue that reaching the bottom of the slope is not a bad thing.

Context first...this was a twitter argument -_-
It was an argument over whether Jesus Christ actually existed. I said that there is evidence, historical, empirical evidence that Jesus existed which then lead to assumption that I actually believed he did. I never once claimed that the evidence was sufficient enough to prove that he existed nor that he was a divine entity. I then stated that despite all scientific advancements and discoveries we have made there is a POSSIBILITY that this man was indeed extraordinary (the resurrection)... something that flies in the face of logic and science... The burden of proof shifts to proving that this happened right? There is weak evidence to support this claim which is almost completely in the bible and i fully concede that the probability of this happening is slim to none, with a fat lean toward none.
Basically I was arguing whether there existed evidence of Jesus Christ whereas my opponent was arguing whether that evidence is sufficient enough to prove that not only did he exist but was divine. Is the burden of proof solely on Pro-Christ or is the burden shared? ie The opponent must proving some evidence debunking the resurrection...
To add even more context to the argument I was arguing an adamant atheist. I myself am agnostic and was questioning one of his statements to some Christian aswell as the manner he was belittling them. He said that being a Christian is completely illogical and ignorant, i simply disagreed with him. If there is evidence then there is grounds, however weak it may be there is an underlying logic. I wanted to show him that there is room for error in his statement and his confidence that he KNOWS the truth

Well, these terms do make things easier if the person you're talking to actually knows what these fancy words even mean. I'm generally of the opinion that using such labels for fallacies (sans the common ones that everyone already should know like strawman, ad hominem, etc.) is lazy and, in a sense, condescending. In the end, nothing beats taking the trouble of explaining exactly why an argument is invalid or not.
My main beef with this is that it makes the practice of debate look like something reserved for philosophy or law majors when practically anyone with a decent grasp of their reasoning capabilities can participate in it. In all honesty, I don't like the term "debate" either because it simplifies an argument into a dichotomy, leaving little room for compromise between either side... though that's a different matter altogether.

1. You cannot prove a negative. If I say, "There has never been a case of someone coming back from the dead" and someone says "Prove it!" I can't. Because in order to prove it, I would have to prove that every single person who ever lived, actually stayed dead. And since I lack records relating to everyone, it is impossible to prove. And one single case of someone coming back to the dead is enough to disprove my hypothesis.
2. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Relating to the above, but if someone claims something that is far out of what we as a society know, then the burden of proof is on them to prove it. Taking my example above, we as a society generally believe coming back from the dead is impossible. So if someone says it is possible, they must be the ones to prove that it does. Until that time, my statement of "There has never been a case of someone coming back from the dead" remains true and I don't have to prove it.
In all other cases, it depends on where the evidence leans, and this is why the scientific mindset is important. The scientific method provides a useful guideline for determining where the truth might ultimately lie. In your argument, there are a couple of claims:
#1. That Jesus existed as a person
#2. That he miraculous things like come back from the dead
As a scientist, we indeed have some archeological evidence that someone named Jesus did indeed exist. So a scientist would tend to believe that first claim. As for the second, those are extraordinary claims, and so would require extraordinary evidence, which we do not have. So a scientist would hold that claim in doubt until someone could prove it.
That is not an exact analogy, but the rules of football are there for a reason. Debate has it's own rules, which is why it is taught in debate classes. If the class is taught well, you learn *why* the fallacies are important, and *how* exactly you argue your points. In a good debate, your mind is open enough to realize when someone has pointed out a weakness you didn't see. But that can also serve as a way to help you make your argument stronger, if you can then cover that weakness with an argument that overrides the fallacies.
And the fallacies aren't perfect or hard and fast rules; they are there as guidelines to guide you in making a coherent argument against any line of thought. I'd agree that it is lazy for people to just spout out "Strawman! Correlation does not equal causation!" and then refusing to listen anymore. Because you are required to point out how your opponent has committed the fallacy, and then... this is the most important part... allow the opponent to make the case as to why the fallacy should *not* apply.
This is an anime forum, and we watch a lot of anime where the main character has a rival. And it is the repeated conflict between the two characters that makes both stronger. In the same way, learning how to "fight" in a debate with an opponent, will make you stronger in that arena as well. But if you refuse to learn how to exercise and attack and defend properly, you won't get very good at it.
If you make an argument, and I say it does not apply because you are a poopy head, I think you'd agree my argument is poor. The fallacy for that is "ad hominem" which essentially means I ignored your argument totally in favor of a personal attack. Fallacies are just fancy names and explanations given to concepts that you already know are bad to use in a debate/argument/discussion/etc. Without them, I could dismiss all your arguments by calling you names, as could everyone else. And if that was the case, how would we ever discuss anything?
Lastly, I am going to link to an amusing short story that I encourage people to read, as it addresses fallacies and arguments, as a matter of learning how to think. It's called Love is a Fallacy and details a smart guy who tries to teach an air-headed girl to think using the fallacies (which are an offshoot of logic)... and she starts to learn a bit too well, heh.

History and information about K&N Filter and their products.
K&N AIR INTAKES, THE ULTIMATE WEAPON IN THE HORSEPOWER WARS Most of our High-Flow Air Intakes can be purchased for less than $350. On the 2003 Ford Mustang SVT®, we actually achieved a 30 horsepower increase. Even our typical air intake gains are in the range of 8 to 16 horsepower. To send an average V-8 down the road at 55 mph, it takes about 17 horsepower. Considering this, you begin to realize just how much of a difference our intakes can make when you step on the gas. We're proud of these intakes because after you bolt one on, you'll know something's different…VERY DIFFERENT!
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAR OR TRUCK Most people are aware that our High-Flow Air Filter can increase horsepower over a traditional disposable air filter. An air filter change alone however, cannot eliminate other types of air restriction built into the vehicle at the factory. These can be found in the size of the air box and the air path running from the air box to the engine. That's where air intakes rule the road. They completely replace the factory airflow assembly including the filter, air box and air path. More and more people are discovering the monster power available from a well-engineered air intake and we sell over 200,000 air intakes every year, so go ahead and wake the sleeping giant in your car.
GUARANTEED HORSEPOWER We will not sell an air intake that does not provide a measured increase in horsepower and torque (acceleration). Our air intakes are proven to increase horsepower and torque on a rear-wheel dynamometer (think treadmill for cars). These thoroughly engineered air intakes provide huge increases in power that a customer will definitely feel when they accelerate.
Product lines include: K&N Fuel Injection Kits, FIPK, K&N 77 Series High Flow Air Intakes, K&N Typhoon Air Intake Systems, K&N AirCharger, K&N 57i Air Induction Kits, K&N Cold Air Intake Filters, and Stock Replacement Air Filters.
Back as far as 1969 K&N ENGINEERING has been in the business of perfecting automobile filters and, in fact, they were the inventors of the high flow cotton air filer and they have been working ever since then to improve your car's filter with a dedication to perfection of product and customer satisfaction. In the K&N facility in Riverside, California, they go about the task of researching and developing air filters and air intake systems and now have a potpourri of more than 5,000 products bearing their logo and; furthermore, the inimitable K & N products can be found in more than thirty countries around the world. There is a reason K & N assure you of their quality with a million mile warranty and the reason is their belief in the excellence of their product and because of their place in the aftermarket performance industry as the world's foremost manufacturer of washable performance air filters and air intake systems.
If you need more power, consider the gains that can be achieved by installing a K&N intake kit on your car and weigh that against the cost of this relatively inexpensive modification and I think you will agree that it is worth it for the resultant improvement in your car's performance. And you don't need to worry that a new K&N intake kit will give your car's engine too much air because every engine is designed to draw in only a particular volume of air and this depends on your car's bore, stoke and cylinders so this is not a problem. Consider K & N's history of success and its unparalleled place in the annals of aftermarket performance air filters and air intake systems when deciding on a new air filter or, better yet, a new and improved air intake system and then peruse the multiplicity of products available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site and find the one that will make a difference in your vehicle the minute it is installed. Take advantage of the more than fifty years of experience K & N has and use it to your benefit and let LMPERFORMANCE help you get the right part at the right price.

Porn Copyright Trolls Argue That Verizon Should Be Held In Contempt Of Court For Trying To Protect Its Users
from the privacy-schmivacy,-we're-trolling dept
These three trolls have teamed up to argue that Verizon should shut up and hand over the names, claiming that it has no standing to object, given that it's not a party in the case. They also claim that even if Verizon can argue misjoinder, the argument is not valid (which is laughable considering how many courts have agreed that it's perfectly valid). Then they try to chop down every other argument from Verizon -- who actually has a really strong history of protecting subscribers against copyright threats. In fact, the trolls use this history against Verizon -- claiming that their victory nearly a decade ago, against the RIAA's attempt to use subpoenas to identify users without filing a lawsuit, shows that as long as they've filed lawsuits, they should have a free pass to identify the account holders named.
The really amusing part is the trolls' response to Verizon's point that the trolls have failed to show that the discovery would be used for the "proper purpose" of litigation. That's because it won't be. Everyone knows that the information will be used to try to force people into settling, and not to file lawsuits. But the trolls claim this is just dandy:
To the contrary, and as argued above, the "purpose" of the discovery is entirely proper: to obtain information identifying unknown Doe Defendants infringing Plaintiffs' copyrights "in order to consider whether to name and serve them as defendants."Note the careful choice of words. They don't say that they're asking for discovery in order to actually sue, but to "consider" whether or not to sue. Meaning, of course, that they're extremely unlikely to file an actual lawsuit and are more likely to threaten account holders to demand a settlement. Hopefully the court sees through these attempts by these trolls to force discovery where it's clearly not appropriate.

Student's Off-Campus YouTube Bullying Of Another Student Protected Free Speech
from the oh,-we-still-have-that? dept
Thankfully, some courts still remember this point. Michael Scott points us to a recent ruling about a student who was suspended from school after she posted to YouTube a video of herself and some friends making fun of another girl at school. The student argued that the suspension was a violation of her First Amendment rights, in particular because the speech was done off-campus (something that's come up a lot in various school suspension cases). The court ruled that schools can discipline students for off-campus activities but that they need to be aware of First Amendment rights, and in this case, the student's actions did not rise to the level necessary to take action. The court cited the famous Tinker v. Des Moines case, which is the seminal case when it comes to student free speech issues, noting that while this video may have been mean, it did not rise to the level of creating a "substantial disruption."

Aazealh, I've heard about how you've read Berserk only once (it's not a question actually, it's purely amazing!)
For 322For Griffith
When you started the website, did you think Berserk would be over soon or already knew it was a long series?
"Any questions that don't pertain to Ep 332 or Griffith"
What do you do with all of your ancient YAs that you don't want anymore?
Since you're buying the magazine anyway, do you have any manga that you follow in YA besides Berserk? Any that you'd recommend?
Does not compute.
Spider Sniper & Gekkoh (AKA Cool Beauty Revenger). Older series, but you totally should check them out. TheSkyTraveller was also a huge fan of these two back in the day. Pity she's not around anymore to attest of it.
Aaz what are those fat books on the second shelf down and why don't I have any?
I guessed so... Looks like you'll be running out of space soon, though!
Cool, I will! It's funny, I don't think I've seen these in any of the YAs I've owned. Are they already finished?

Genealogy software - request for a Pupget/Petget
There's only one Linux genealogy program I know of, called "GRAMPS". It runs under Ubuntu so I imagine should happily run with Puppy.
As more old computers are becoming puppified for older people like me, could a Petget or similar be made available for GRAMPS?
As a PS to anyone who's searched the Puppy fora for genealogical software and comes across this, has such an anyone had any success using any of the Windows programs such as Legacy, The Master Genealogist, Roots Magic, etc, etc, with wine?

Roots Magic is a great program and one I would really like to use with wine. I tried several times, and it seems to be within a mm of working. In fact it does work in most respects except that if you try to do something with an associated photo it shuts down.

There's not much software in Linux for genealogy. The easiest to run are probably Java based. If you have Java
check this
. I've got it running in Suse, but haven't tried Puppy.
Personally, I'm waiting for a web 2.0 browser-based solution.
will be the answer once it can import GEDCOM files.

Out of sheer curiousity, what programs, basic, would a genealogist need?
I've had Ftree working in puppy, haven't maagaed to get Geneweb working, or Gramps as of yet.
Genealogy is something I've dabbled with, but mainly in Windows.

Post subject: "Basic" genealogy software
Subject description: some personal experience
G'day Trobin,
As far as I'm concerned about 'basic' software, it all depends on what you mean by 'genealogist'.
My opinions as an amateur genealogist, or perhaps in your terms, a serious dabbler ......
A professional (someone being paid to do someone else's family tree) probably needs something like 'The Master Genealogist' - TMG - which focuses heavily on collating and listing sources of family history data and generating printed reports, and less on visual presentation, particularly onto your monitor or as a web-page.
More GUI appealing programs, and more suitable for the amateur, someone doing her/his own family tree, would be Legacy, Roots Magic, Family Tree maker and many similar Windows-only programs. Most are free to try with money needed for getting a full version going. The Mormons have PAF as a fully free but less belled-and-whistled program.
Mac users get Reunion (their usual(?) choice of 1, but it is a very good program).
Most programs supposedly help set-up a web-page of the family data, and all can export data as (text-based) Gedcom files so textural stuff can be swapped via the Net and between programs of all OSs.
No one to my knowledge has reported any Windows genealogy program to run in Wine with Puppy. Roots Magic nearly gets there (installs, imports data from Windows via gedcom) but crashes if I try to add images.
Legacy (my preference) almost installs but comes up with an error box just before opening. I have not tried TMG via Wine.
Gramps ran for me with Ububtu (deb version) and has a Windows version which also worked for me as far as I tried it.
As of last night, using Pet installation of the 2.2.6 tar.gz gramps file, I get no dependency problem (a nice green box) but I can't the program to actually run. The "successful installation" messages or pop-up menu icons to start the program do not appear on rebooting (2.16 & 2.15CE). The undeb Puplet did not work at all - red box everytime.
Puppy has all the peripheral progams (spreadsheet, word-processor, html composer, browser, scanner, digital camera reader) to otherwise digitally handle the raw stuff I, or an amateur genealogist collects. Printing on paper depends on your printer, as usual with Linux.
The beauty of the genealogy program is to put all this material together in a single data base.
It's a big pity that there's apparently nothing in Puppy Linux yet for the hordes of family historians.
Hopefully we may soon be more happily dabbling,
David S.

i had a quick look last night and it seems the already compiled geneweb-5.00 redhat rpm is the best option. (to compile from source it needs an ocaml compiler).
the tricky part is the configuration bit, which you can do on the commandline, or using a browser and gwsetup.

Post subject: Genealogy software - PAF 5.0
Subject description: Paf runs in wine in puppy 3.01
I have managed to run PAF 5.0 in wine in Puppy 3.01 and Muppy.
I followed all the suggestions to run wine and then run PAF successfully with a database of over 3000 individuals.
Muppy has wine in it and runs well too.
I tried to run Legacy but at the last minute it says it had an automation error, I don't understand it. I wanted to run Legacy because Legacy has an automatic search of the IGI website.
So I am back in windoze running Legacy, only the one doze program that I like.

I've been a year long forum reader but info regarding genealogy has inspired me to finally post.
I have been a researcher and genealogist for many years and have done work for other people. I suppose the most important feature for me would be flexibility with reports and stability. I have only tried the live CD Ubuntu with Gramps. I looked at a few others and tried Ftree but they were not what I wanted and with no one currently developing most of them I didn't even want to try them out.
Gramps program is nice but it wasn't reliable enough for me at the time and again, no one actively working on the project.
My hubby (Caneri) had tried to set up Gramps but he ran into problems with all the required gnome libraries and dependencies. It has to work and work all the time for me to use it (genealogists are extremely protective about their information)
I have watched Caneri use Puppy exclusively now for about a year and I like what I've seen with the Puppy OS as well as it's development and stability.
I currently use Legacy and Family Tree Maker. FTM latest version is very web integrated and with all their online search functions make it hard to give up, but maybe their new versions will make it more compatible with linux/puppy (or more complicated)
I would like to be able to run Puppy and have a good genealogy program as well.
Looking at the Gramps site recently there has been a renewed effort in development and a new version coming out.
Below is what they say are the Linux Package requirements for Gramps to run in debian/ubuntu and fedora/redhat. Maybe this would be useful for those that know these things.
(Gramps website http://www.gramps-project.org/)
Linux package requirements
Debian/Ubuntu -
python,Required (needs version 2.3 or later) [does 2.3 include set()?]
pygtk2,Required (needs 2.6.0 or greater)
gnome-python,Required (needs 2.6.0 or greater)
librsvg2-common (required for building)
Additional package requirements for Fedora/Redhat
librsvg2-devel, required for building
gnome-common, required for building
intitool, required for building
gnome-doc-utils, required for building
pytho-reportlab (optional)

Sorry for the long posts, but I've been saving up for a year lol.
I volunteer at a Research Library and do their website. Non profit thing so there is no money of course.
I've told the president of the group about puppy and caneri has loaded it for using on one of her machines and she likes it quite a bit. She would also love to use that os for the Library as we have old machines with Windows 2000 and they are very slow. (and can't afford to buy a windows license) using Puppy would be a great answer for us.
The only holdback with using Puppy are the genealogy programs / database requirements.
Would be great if someone could make a genpuppy

G'day Fellow Fogies,
And lovers of long posts.
Thanks for the feed-back on the continued difficulties of finding a comprehensive genealogical program that would run with Puppy.
Or a popular Windows program to run under Wine on Puppy, with no more risk than running this program normally under your chosen Windows flavour.
With each new Wine version put out, I try to get firstly this latest Wine to work with my Puppies, ..........................
then if successful........................
see if I get any further with loading up Legacy (my chosen Gen. program). Continues to fail just when I think it's going to start up. Oh well, back to XP, like everyone else.
PAF5 worked OK for me too, as far as I took it. But for me, PAF5 is a bit boring, limited and cumbersome compared to Legacy. Just the devil I know, I suppose.
The Linux native, ftree, takes a Legacy gedcom with several thousand families but just doesn't appeal in features, or work the way I'm used to with Legacy. So no good as my main life-storing program.
Roots Magic is very close to working completely under Wine and is stylistically close to Legacy, and runs with my full Legacy data import. But I just can't commit to changing over.
Still need to try her-indoors's TMG with Wine. Not my cup-of-tea really though (TMG, I mean.)
Given all this difficulty, I have begun to think that I should try to set up Virtual Box or VMPlayer and see how Legacy runs in XP as a Puppy virtual machine. I started with Puppy on a retired 1996 HP in the attic just for something to do while my GB-RAMmed, hyper-threading and dual core XP machines did my daily stuff. But Puppy became contagious and escaped from the loft so now it's only genealogy that really keeps XP afloat (and once I sort out how Puppy has to work the various tv cards in these computers).
But I thought that data could not be written to a storage device by a virtual machine so a virtual Legacy (or FTM or Roots Magic) would not be much use beyond a bit of learning how things work.
So can I ask the wider pack who happen to read this thread, if this virtual machine in Puppy is feasible, for a data collection and processing activity like genealogy? We need our hard disk access.

text: The Battle of Amiens was an Allied victory that helped bring an end to World War I. Following the Second Battle of the Marne, the Allies launched an attack in August 1918 with a force of 75,000 men, more than 500 tanks and nearly 2,000 planes. The offensive achieved huge gains on the first day, with Allied troops and tanks advancing eight miles and causing 27,000 casualties. Although the German resistance stiffened and the fighting was over after a few days, the battle convinced many in the German high command that victory in the war was unattainable.

Light wind/race boards cost more for a few good reasons.
1. Shipping, probably 25-30% of the landed cost of a race/light board is shipping and that's if you send it on a slow boat, if you air freight it then it's 50% We can ship 3 twintips in the space that one Kiaola takes up.
2. Manufacture costs. The bigger you go the fewer manufacturing options you have. Few production race boards are made from shaped blown blanks, more likely shaped from multiple sheet layers of foam which has less tooling cost but greater labour cost.
3. Production volume. You are making far fewer of these type boards so every part of the process costs more. You have to pay for downtime, swapping between products, as well actual production time. You also have MOQ, minimum order quantities to fulfil.
4. Amortization. You make fewer and they sit on shelves longer costing you in ageing, that has to be calculated into the price.
And then last but by no means least, you have to stay in business and to do that you need to make a profit. It's just an inescapable fact that niche products cost commensurately more than volume products.

Philadelphia, PA Map
William Parker / Muhammad Ali Duo + Odean Pope
New Paths Festival
When Martin Luther King Jr. was a seminary student in nearby Chester, he attended a lecture at the First Unitarian Church on how Mohandas K. Gandhi integrated Henry David Thoreau's theory of non-violent civil disobedience that ultimately inspired King's non-violent protests for civil rights. William Parker and Muhammad Ali are two of the most important living Free Jazz musicians today, contributing to many seminal recordings by Albert Ayler, Noah Howard, Frank Wright, David S. Ware, and Cecil Taylor. Over four nights at the breathtaking Frank Furness designed First Unitarian Church Side Chapel, these musicians will perform music inspired by this story, inviting four Philadelphia heavyweights as guests: Dave Burrell, Sun Ra Arkestra's Marshall Allen, Bobby Zankel and Odean Pope.
Over these four nights, Parker will reveal his ANW-commissioned four-part suite, Flower In Stained Glass Window (for creative music ensemble and improvising trio), featuring an all-Philadelphian chamber ensemble, led by Keir Neuringer (alto saxophone), and featuring Veronica Jurkiewicz (violin), Ryan Frazier (trumpet), Mike Watson (bass clarinet), Larry Toft (trombone + baritone horn), Diane Monroe (violin), and Thomas Kraines (cello).
Ars Nova Workshop is a Philadelphia nonprofit jazz and experimental music presenting organization. ANW informs, inspires, and challenges listeners to elevate the role of jazz, improvisation, and experimental music in contemporary culture. ANW events provide a forum for discourse, emergent trends in contemporary music, and unique forms of cultural exchange, while nurturing a diverse community for innovative music.

New PNAS Paper: Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change
New Report Identifies "Regret-Free" Approaches for Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change
Researchers provide clarity on action amid fears of wasted investments and imprecise science
A study called "Addressing uncertainty in adaptation planning for agriculture" has been published in PNAS by researchers from the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), including Oxford researcher, Joost Vervoort.
You can read the paper in PNAS here and you can read more about the research on the CCAFS website here.
Whether it's swapping coffee for cocoa in Central America or bracing for drought in Sri Lanka with a return to ancient water storage systems, findings from a new report from the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) chart a path for farmers to adapt to climate shifts despite uncertainties about what growing conditions will look like decades from now.
As this week's UN climate talks in Bonn continue to sideline a formal deal on agriculture, the study, Addressing uncertainty in adaptation planning for agriculture, which was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences (PNAS), finds that the cloudy aspects of climate forecasts are no excuse for a paralysis in agriculture adaptation policies.
"Climate projections will always have a degree of uncertainty, but we need to stop using uncertainty as a rationale for inaction," said Sonja Vermeulen, head of research at CCAFS and the lead author of the study. "Even when our knowledge is incomplete, we often have robust grounds for choosing best-bet adaptation actions and pathways, by building pragmatically on current capacities in agriculture and environmental management, and using projections to add detail and to test promising options against a range of scenarios."
The CCAFS analysis shows how decision-makers can sift through the different gradients of scientific uncertainty to understand where there is, in fact, a general degree of consensus and then move to take action. Moreover, it encourages a broader approach to agriculture adaptation that looks beyond climate models to consider the socioeconomic conditions on the ground. These conditions, such as a particular farmer's or community's capacity to make the necessary farming changes, will determine whether a particular adaptation strategy is likely to succeed.
"Getting farmers, communities, governments, donors and other stakeholders to embrace various adaptation strategies can end up being equally or more important than seeking higher levels of scientific certainty from a climate model," said Andy Challinor, a professor at the Institute for Climate and Atmosphere Science, School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, who co-leads research on climate adaptation at CCAFS and was also an author of the study. "There is no question that climate science is constantly improving," he added. "But scientists also need to understand the broader processes involved in agriculture adaptation and consider how we can better communicate what we do know in ways that are relevant to a diverse audience."

Hi guys
I'm very happy to show you the first Render after the Relaunch!
Soon we will show you new ingame Screenshots!
We are a modification which was created to convert Battlefield2 into a fantastic world reigned by humans, elbs, dwarfs and orks. We know that there're tons of games who match that concept but we love Battlefield since it has put down its roots with '42. The theatre has a lot in common with countries like Ireland and Norway and will mostly consist of hilly landcapes with fields surrounded by woods. We are planning castles, camps and small towns and villages which are built under the use of and very close to nature.

^He fought evenly with an Admiral, something I never expected (I only thought Whitebeard would be strong enough to fight evenly with an Admiral), so Marco, and even Jozu, has far surpassed my expectations...

And why would any marine high tail their ass over there when it's only a promosing rookie and (probably) the two strongest marines are on the job who they expect to totally outmatch Luffy. Let alone the shichibukai who are their just so they don't lose their title. No need for them to go out of their way to stop him.
And it seems to me they all got their hands full with doing what they're doing, seeing that the WB pirates aren't even breaching the line of defense more which this chapter showed they were succeeding awefully good in seeing they got Luffy close enough to have Inazuma create a path to the platform.
Guess I have to hope that he'll still use them over the couple of years (hopefully decades :P, pls let OP run for like 15 years still).

To review this chapter:
Whitebeard and Monkey D. Dragon having Haki? Is this true? Boa Hancock vs. Sentomaru. I hope we have a flashback of him and Dr. Vegapunk in the next chapter. Ace is close to being saved, but why is Garp being the only obstacle in this war instead of Sengoku (not that Sengoku would jump in himself this instant)?

Bah, I would've at least preferred it if all 3 admirals gangbanged Marco at once. Either that, or have him get KO'ed by that sucker punch Garp gave him a couple chapters ago. Sure, he'd still be screwed, but at least his loss would've seemed less cheap that way.......

I don't know why people want to see Sengoku vs. WB still; there is no way they can have a fair fight considering how badly injured WB is. STILLLLL waiting for Dragon to show up but totally do not expect him to show up at all (only hope I have is that he bailed Luffy's ass once but I don't think he cares about Ace at all).

And go smoothly? So lets forget about everything he had to do so far to come this way? Take out countless grunts, avoid Moria, switch Buggy with himself to occupy Mihawk. Getting kicked bye Kizaru to the start and beeing forced to take an other hormone injection to stay up? Yeah things went truly smooth for him.

I don't know if mangastream should be considered a blessing or a curse with their fast releases and onemanga these days is just horrible for OP. I can't even stress how bad I find the release they have uploaded atm on their site. Though do I really have a right to complain as a mere leecher.

Nice chapter, for all the rice cracker Garp's devoured, the time has finally come for him to prove his worth as a member of the government!
As for Sengoku, I don't see him fighting this war unless the pirates get even more backup.

How is it cheap?
Strength and fighting capabilities isn't always equivalent to ranking.
As we all know.
We don't know if Marco would be able to fight evenly with the other 2 Admirals.
Only Kizaru because their abilities cancel each other out.
Just because he kicked Aoijiki doesn't mean would have won or overpowered him.
So maybe we are all overestimating Marco's strength.

Here are two of the several people that can easily prevent Luffy from freeing Ace.
Moria - He can command his brick bats to swarm and pester Luffy for as long as he likes. This would distract Luffy because he would be too busy trying to get them off of him.
Kuma - He can literally appear right in front of Luffy and proceed to beat the crap out of him. Realistically, Luffy would not be able to get by him.
@ AddiKtioNn-BlaCk - I agree with you. It cannot be automatically implied that Marco is on par with the admirals just because he fought evenly with Kizaru. The fact of the matter is that neither of them were fighting seriously, so the outcome may be different if they were to go all out.

Chapter 570
This was pretty good. Once again very amazing details on the characters and the enviroment.
I can't believe croc would go this far for Luffy. I guess now that White Beard going to die there will be no fun in killing an old man who is already on his death bed. I think Croc would be a great addition to the Straw Hat Crew. If Croc joined the crew Oda would probably make Croc the Judas of the group. For anyone who doesn't know who Judas is, he was an apostle who betrayed Jesus.
Zoro and Number 1
Seeing Number 1 get beaten down so easily gives me very high hopes for Zoro. I means it has been like 5 archs, may be even more since the Zoro and Number 1 went at each other. I know zoro not ready to go up against the more powerful swordsman but still I can't wait to see how far zoro has improved. Who knows maybe Vista will be the challenger for Zoro before Mihawk. I hope Zoro can use haki later. That would go good with his 3 sword style. Plus he would be be able to hurt Logia.
Vice Admiral Garp
I am expecting someone else to get Garp attention besides Luffy. Because when i look at power levels between Luffy and his grand father i don't see Luffy getting past. Second don't know why Oda his holding Garp back. Seeing Luffy use Haoshoku haki and then Dragon's power. Even the fight with Shiki the Golden Lion Oda didn't show details. Just the beginning and after fights. When I look into the battle happening now the only person i see that could really match Garp is White Beard. Because Marco surely has hell didn't do a good job. Third I feel when it comes to Supreme Admirals and Vice Admiral Garp, Garp is the strongest. They should do a back story on Garp. I would like to see who raised him to be a marine.
ACE and Luffy
Ace is going to be a powerhouse if he has haki abilities too. I wonder when luffy is going to realize he has been using haki? Kind of funny everyone else knows but him.

@Blackbeard D. Kuma: Ranged attacks, in general, are actually pretty boring (they are only fun when you are in the sniping position ), unless the fight is about figuring out how to get around a ranged attacker (ala the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan, etc). In the end, I can't help but feel that a ranged attack, right now, would ruin the pacing of the battle (which is building up to its conclusion (arguably, Luffy releasing his Haki or Whitebeard advancing after being stabbed near the heart were the climax of the battle)).

The Duke of Edinburgh led celebrations on Friday 9 May at a special day of events to mark the tenth anniversary of the Queen Mary 2 becoming the Cunard flagship.

It was a remarkable occasion as the city of Southampton witnessed the arrival of Cunard's whole three ship fleet, QM2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. To have all three of Cunard's ships in the same place at the same time is a rarity. Southampton is the only place in the world to have hosted the 'Three Queens'on three occasions.

The last time this occasion happened was to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee back in 2012. The Duke of Edinburgh attended a reception and gala lunch on board the QM2. This was first time that the Duke has been on the liner since he accompanied the Queen back in 2004 when she officially named the ship.
Prince Phillip toured the liner and meet members of her crew before a special rendition of 'Happy Birthday' was blasted out from the ships mighty whistles, whilst 10,000 balloons were let go from the ship's top deck. The rendition of 'Happy Birthday' was not the only celebration taking place today, the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria arrived at first light up the Southampton Water followed by a fire tug spouting water jets, heralding the arrival of the birthday girl QM2.
As Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria came bow to bow, just 30 metres apart, their sister ship slowly sailed past. The QM2 is Cunard's flagship and is considered the most magnificent ocean liner ever built. She was the first major ocean liner built since the Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1969, the vessel she succeeded as flagship. The new ship was named Queen Mary 2 by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004 after the first RMS Queen Mary, which was completed in 1936.
Queen Mary was named after Mary of Teck, consort of King George V. To round off the celebrations a spectacular fireworks display will take place later in the evening. Beginning at 10pm, the fireworks will cascade over QM2 as she positions herself off the other two ships alongside the Queen Elizabeth II terminal.
The QM2 will set off down the Southampton water followed by the other two Cunard ships. Since entering service, the Queen Mary 2 has undertaken a total of 419 voyages including over 200 transatlantic crossings. She has also called at 182 ports in 60 different countries and carried in excess of 1.3 million passengers.
