Topical Retinoid Medicines for Acne
What To Think About
At first, topical retinoids may make acne worse. You may notice redness and peeling of your skin when you first use topical retinoids.
Topical retinoids, especially tazarotene, are not recommended during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor before using topical retinoids if you are pregnant or think you could become pregnant. Also, if you are breast-feeding, talk with your doctor before using topical retinoids.
Tretinoin works best if you start with a lower strength and change to a higher strength as needed. Doing this may reduce redness and peeling of your skin. If your skin becomes very red and peels, try using topical retinoids every other night or every third night instead of every night.

Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.

Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Awe in Science
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
The Beauty of Being a Scientist and a Christian
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Series: A Quest for God
In this five part series, two young men, Josh and Aron, engage each other through e-mail letters. Their conversation oscillates between the seemingly suspicious elements of God and the gospel (raised by Josh) as well as responses that offer meaningful insight into these questions (answered by Aron). Ideas such as prayer, judgment, and the concealed nature of God are among the many points in this truth-seeking exchange.
Dead Bones with a Living Message
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
Mitochondrial Eve, Y-Chromosome Adam, and Reasons to Believe
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer the video trigger board (option 05) from a TDS544A into a TDS744A? The board is a perfect fit, and the 744A recognizes option 05, and passes all self tests, but video triggering isn't working properly. It will only trigger over a very narrow range of vertical offset when in video mode, and at that point half the trace is off the top of the screen. There doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the trigger level when in video mode.
The video trigger board still works fine in the TDS544A it came from, so I suspect it's either incompatible with the 744A, or it requires calibration to work. Unfortunately, I can't find much information about option 05 such as part numbers for the boards, and what calibration may be necessary.

NOT SAFE FOR WORK – This post contains photographs that may not be acceptable for persons under the age of 18 and of a suggestive nature with mild BDSM.
You have been warned.
During his performance on Sunday November 22, 2009, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert sang his debut single, "For Your Entertainment." The performance was loaded with Lambert thrusting his pelvis into the faces of dancers, kissing his male keyboardist, flicking his middle finger to the camera and singing some stuff that ABC felt the need to mute.
A few weeks ago, I blogged in {Rules of PR no. 27} about Adam Lambert getting too hot too soon post-American Idol, in light of his Details Magazine spread, and apparently I was the only one who agreed with myself…until the American Music Awards 2009.
Leashes, pelvic thrusts, BDSM gear and a trip down the stage… I called it weeks ago.
If there is anything that Adam Lambert's performance proved, it is that he still can make an excellent headline!
But seriously, folks, like that Gloriana fiasco from the AMAs (Team Gloriana! That's what I say, btw), are you surprised? Because I hate to break it to you, but I am not.
I'm not surprised because if you couldn't see this coming from his watered down performances on American Idol, then you've been living under a rock.
I bet Jennifer Lopez is probably ridiculously happy that [Read more...]

As Nepal's first Lama ophthalmologist, Dr Sanduk Ruit's reputation as a highly skilled and respected surgeon precedes him.
Born in a small remote village in the north east of Nepal, Dr Ruit's start in life was tough. His village, which sits at an altitude of 11,000 feet, was poor and had no electricity.
The nearest school was 11 days walk away but Dr Ruit was fortunate to attend an english school in India and was then selected to go to King George Medical School in Lucknow, to undertake a Bachelor of Medicine.
Even in these early stages while studying, Dr Ruit showed promise as a surgeon. He later completed his ophthalmology training at the All India Institute of Medical Science.
Dr Sanduk Ruit's connection with The Fred Hollows Foundation comes from a long and extraordinary personal history with Professor Fred Hollows.
Dr Ruit had a special friendship with Fred Hollows. They both shared the same outlook on life, medical philosophies and vision - of a world where no one is needlessly blind.
Their mutual belief, that people living in developing countries should have access to affordable and quality eye care, led to a determined and shared journey to take modern cataract surgery to all corners of Nepal and the world.
In the mid 1980s, when they first met, Dr Ruit was working as a Medical Officer with the Nepalese Prevention of Blindness Program. Fred Hollows was visiting the program as a consultant with the World Health Organization (WHO).
As often happens when strong friendships form, Dr Ruit and Fred were destined to meet again. In 1988 Ruit visited Australia to live, laugh and learn with Fred for a year.
"Fred was always behind me all the time. He always thought that what I was doing was right. With Fred's values we were as one," says Dr Ruit.
Based at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, Dr Ruit spent his time studying and learning the techniques of modern cataract surgery from Fred.
Listen to what Fred Hollows had to say about eye care in Nepal and Ruit's surgical technique.
During his time in Australia, Dr Ruit was also involved in setting up the Nepal Eye Program Australia (NEPA), which continues to support and raise funds for sight restoration in Nepal.
At that time modern cataract surgery, using an intraocular lens (IOL) wasn't being used in developing countries to treat cataract blindness. It was thought to be too expensive, risky and difficult.
Dr Ruit and Fred were determined to challenge that assumption - they believed the modern technique was more effective and resource efficient, than the traditional method of removing the clouded lens of the eye and not replacing it, but rather relying on glasses to provide sight.
Dr Ruit then returned to Nepal and began training local doctors in modern cataract surgery. Word spread throughout Nepal and the new technique was slowly but surely adopted as the standard.
Dr Ruit was even more determined to take cataract surgery to people living in the extremely remote areas of Nepal. Makeshift but high quality eye clinics were set up by Ruit and his team in remote areas, to treat the thousands of Nepalese living in darkness. The vision was coming alive!
Fundraising efforts through NEPA and The Foundation then helped to establishTilganga Eye Centre in Kathmandu, which was officially opened in 1994 - a year after Fred Hollows died.
Now called the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, the eye hospital comprises of the Fred Hollows Intraocular Lens Laboratory, an Eye Bank and a Surgicentre has since screened more than 1.5 million people and performed well over 74,000 operations. Cataract surgeries account for the majority of these operations.
Dr Ruit, who is the Medical Director at Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, has personally performed more than 70,000 sight restoring operations since 1988. He has also trained local surgeons in China, India, Nepal, North Korea and Vietnam.
"We are playing a role of total skill transfer in terms of surgical and clinical quality, efficiency, financial sustainability and community service. We work with different organisations in all these areas and one of our most trusted partners is The Fred Hollows Foundation. It is good that they and others have trust and total confidence in our approach," says Dr Ruit.
In the ongoing refinement of his surgical techniques, Dr Ruit and his team developed a sutureless form of cataract surgery in 1996 which was heralded around the world.
Many of the training programs supported by The Foundation, train surgeons in the new sutureless technique, along with the standard ECCE + PCIOL technique.
A new IOL design has also been developed to match the needs of sutureless surgery. Known as the FH105, the IOL - which is smaller in diameter - fits snugly into the eye through a tighter incision.
In 2001, the former Tilganga Eye Centre developed a further refinement to its sutureless technique, called 'temporal' section, which makes an incision on the side, rather than the top of the eye. This helps with improved recovery of vision.
De Ruit has completed fellowships in microsurgery in the Netherlands and Australia, as well as additional ophthalmic training at the Wilmer Eye Institute of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the University of Michigan.
In 2005, Dr Ruit was awarded one of the Royal Nepal Academy of Science and Technology's two annual awards, in recognition of his continuous work for the people of Nepal and other developing countries. It is the first time an award has been granted in recognition of surgical achievements.
And in 2006, Dr Ruit has been awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for International Understanding. Also known as Asia's Nobel Prize, the honourable award recognises Ruit and his efforts in placing Nepal at the forefront of developing safe, effective and economical procedures for cataract surgery, enabling the needlessly blind in the world's most poorest countries to see again.
In 2007, Dr Sanduk Ruit received some highly regarded awards - Reader's Digest named Dr Ruit as Asian of the Year and The Governor-General of Australia awarded him an honorary appointment as Officer in the Order of Australia (AO). In the same year, Ruit also received the Prince Mahidol Award for contribution to medicine and public health.
Fred Hollows' belief in Dr Ruit and their connection to each other was strong - he thought of Ruit as his soul mate and protege.
Known as Dr Ruit's right hand, Dr Reeta Gurung studied medicine in Leningrad and trained in ophthalmology - "I did my eyes!" - in England.
She's not sure why she picked the speciality. "I'm an impatient person, maybe I wanted to have the results then and there! I really enjoy it when someone sees the next day - that's pretty quick."
Dr Gurung, or Dr Reeta as her staff affectionately call her, spent a year helping establish a new hospital in Pokhara, west of Nepal, before joining the fledgling Tilganga Eye Centre team in 1993.
The early days were uncertain, she says. "We didn't have money in the first place. There were only the two of us (surgeons). In the back of my mind I thought, 'what would we do if we didn't get patients', and then 'what would we do if we do get them!'"
At that stage they were working out of an office in Kathmandu. "We were looking after the bricklayers, and buying flymesh and electrical things for the eye camps. We didn't have anything to do except training". Training the first intake of nine paramedical staff and nurses - the 'boys' and 'girls' as they are called - was vital.
Paramedics play a big role in screening and treating patients, and in the back-up work for surgery. Dr Gurung, said to be a skilled surgeon, cites this training as her proudest achievement. "I'm happy I can do many cases but I really admire the girls who stand beside me the whole day."
Tilganga once had to convince patients to come and had to establish its credentials in the medical community. Now it's a much more confident place, has consolidated its patient load and is specialising more, she says.
Dr Gurung, a warm, engaging person, studied in Holland last year, upgrading her corneal work, has travelled overseas for conferences and went to China recently to evaluate The Fred Hollows Foundation program.
She'd like to do more scientific work, work in less cramped surrounds and faces the usual frustrations of working in a developing country. "But I'm pretty happy with what I do."

The Science & Engineering Peer Mentor Program began in the General Science department at Seattle University in 2008. The program was initially conceived to provide new pre-science (major undeclared) students a "friendly contact" in the College of Science and Engineering by pairing them with an upper-division science major. Our goal was to assist new students in their acculturation to Seattle University and to a science major, thereby increasing student success and retention. The program launched with 5 mentors and approximately 35 first-year students majoring in General Science, Environmental Science, and pre-science. In 2009, the program expanded to also include pre-engineering students.
As students across the College expressed interest in being mentored, the program model changed to allow first-year and new transfer students from any S&E major to opt in to the program. In fall 2010, 70 new students (30% of the incoming freshman class) requested a mentor. This year's 8 mentors are juniors and seniors majoring in biology, chemistry, general science, math, physics, and mechanical engineering. In addition to the wealth of experience they bring to the program, the mentors receive training on learning styles, time management, common "new student transition issues" and more. They are equipped to help students connect with resources across campus, to assist with course planning and registration, and they're empathetic listeners.
The Peer Mentor Program has become an exceptional campus resource, providing successful strategies for science majors. The mentors will work with academic advisors as part of the student's support team and they work with the college Advising Center to provide assistance during registration week. Other successful program events include study groups, moving nights, learning strategies workshops, and preparation for advising and registration. One program highlight is the "Tip of the Week" email that shares advice the mentors wish they had known when they were first-year students.
Our goals are to help new students transition to Seattle University, to increase their connection to the College of Science & Engineering, and to be a resource to all of the students and faculty of the College.

Does your Puppy change BIOS settings?
Sub_title: Enables wifi, camera and bluetooth?
Currently I'm running Slacko533 on eeepc1000 off a SD card. My experience so far has been very positive - web browsing is smooth and fast, LibreOffice is responsive, fonts render fantastically well with infinality patch, so overall, nothing to seriously complain about. However, I'm also experiencing an extremely irritating annoyance, or maybe it is a bug. During boot process Slacko changes the BIOS settings on this machine. Namely, it enables wifi, camera and bluetooth settings, all three of which I keep disabled for the other OS - XP, that is. Although, it should be noted that Slacko isn't the only misbehaving one in the litter. Racy and Lucid are no less guilty in this regard. Why do they have the need to stray that far, I'm wondering. Isn't an OS supposed to accept whatever BIOS settings there are to play with? Can this issue be rectified?
And not to start another thread, here is one more point. I have this line in the logs:
ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for battery is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared
While doing some search I came across this piece on Archlinux:
What: CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER
When: 2.6.39
Why: sysfs I/F for ACPI power devices, including AC and Battery, has been working in upstream kernel since 2.6.24, Sep 2007. In 2.6.37, we make the sysfs I/F always built in and this option disabled by default. Remove this option and the ACPI power procfs interface in 2.6.39.
Who: Zhang Rui <firstname.lastname@example.com>
see more here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25845
but I couldn't find any specific steps on where and how it should be cleared. Any thoughts?

Are you sure your BIOS contains settings for wifi, camera and bluetooth? That's a new one in my experience.

Absolutely sure.
BIOS 1033 - latest to my knowledge.
Settings: advanced>onboard devices configuration>
1. onboard lan - enabled
2. onboard camera - disabled/re-enabled during boot
3. onboard wlan - disabled/re-enabled during boot
4. onboard bluetooth - disabled/re-enabled during boot
during Puppy boot - the settings are not affected when XP boots.

What you are describing is pretty close to impossible. Any operating system works with and around what the BIOS will give it -- not the other way around.
To the best of my knowledge, the only way to do what you're describing is to have a Windows virus stick itself in the BIOS, which although doable, is almost unheard of.
My guess would be that instead of writing values to BIOS, the BIOS is reading the states of these devices at shutdown and changing itself at the time. This would be consistent with "it doesn't seem to do this in Windows" because Windows leaves them off.
Since it's unlikely that you'll get much help anywhere else, I would call ASUS and "scream bloody murder" as the phrase goes. This is a potential major problem in terms of user privacy. If someone were to hijack your system with the webcam on and then blackmail you... you could probably pay them off for life with what you'd be able to get from ASUS for neglecting to fix the problem. They are very obviously aware of it already, at least at some level -- this sort of stuff doesn't get in there by accident.
Mind you, anyone can hijack any computer anywhere, as long as it's connected to the Internet -- Linux and Unix are just harder. There was an article posted on this forum about how to make a Linux virus, even, although I can't remember where in the off-topic section it was...

Of course a OS and kernel interacts with the BIOS .
Two cli commands are " dmidecode " and " hwclock " .

And for " deprecated warnings " : they occur several times here and there and mostly they overdose . instead of a "notice" or "info" loglevel value of 5 or 6 they give it a "warn" (4) . Puppy kernel is altered to default to LOGLEVEL=3 (err) . since i boot with "debug" i don't notice these messages anymore .

I know too little to be of any help but I have noticed something similar
with many other OS. I have a kind of weird hobby.
To try to boot as many Ubuntu variety as possible.
Very many of them too set the bluetooth on but I know much less than you
so I have not done any investication on if my BIOS already had them activated or not.
But I remember how annoying it is that suddenly the BlueTooth icon is on when I did not ask for it.
So my very naive question is. Could this be something in the linux kernel
and does not have to be specific to Puppy developers choice?
Maybe their computers don't have webcam nor bluetooth so them not aware of what does happens to us?
I mean why would Puppy developers make such drastic things at all.
I trust they had no idea that would happen.
I love that you took up this thing so we can find a solution to it.
Maybe somebody that knows Barry Kauler well can write about it
on his blog and hopefully he gets motivated to take a look?

Trying to understand how Linux interacts with BIOS, I've been doing some googling and my preliminary findings do say, that Linux *can* change BIOS settings on your machine. I believe this issue deserves Barry's attention. Should I PM him, leave a message on his blog, or will moderators touch base with him?
Some related links:
It just dawned on me, that I can ask forum members who may own an Asus laptop (not necessarily an eeepc) with AMI BIOS to manually disable the above mentioned setting to see if the issue can be reproduced on your machines.
Thank you for your attention.
We can achieve better results if do the testing on *any* laptop with any BIOS.

I can confirm one thing that both Ms Win and Linux seems to alter.
Suddenly the time changes one hour or two hour
without me doing other than changing from one Linux to another.
I do have an Asus EEEPC 900 but unfortunately I don't have time
now to set it up. It is in a drawer like most of my netbooks and the
Desktops are in the cellar stored there until I have rebuilt the room.
Will take a long time.
so I dearly hope somebody better organized than what I am
will do these tests. I trust it can happen.
Another thing that I have experience of.
If one use one Puppy linux derivative like xxx forgot name
then it shut down the bios for atheros LAN card built in.
The only way to get it back is to take out the battery and the power plug
and let it discharge.
So I find this thread important but the title is misleading.
I find it more likely that it is something about the kernel as such
and not that the devs of Slacko has deliberly done this to annoy us

Now I don't think it was a good idea to restrict testing exclusively to Asus laptops and AMI BIOS. Perhaps, a broader approach should be taken, which means *any* laptop with *any* variety of BIOS that has bluetooth, camera and wifi, or at least one of these three items on board will qualify for testing. And as mentioned already, I observed the issue with Slacko533, ThinSlacko, Lucid and Racy - all latest releases. If anyone can test earlier versions, please do so.
Here is a netbook-kernel, being developed:
and I am curious to know, if it can be directly transplanted to Slacko. (Probably, not says my inner voice) Can it solve my issue? What if the problem lies with those 'eeepc modules' that get loaded with Slacko? A collection of modules vs a custom built kernel - looks promising? Please, guys share your wisdom with me.
PS: somehow, my clickable links don't work here, sorry for that.

Here's an update to my monologue, if you guys don't mind. First off, I sort of notified Barry of my woes and hopefully, he will take a moment out of his busy schedule to have a look at this thread. Secondly, I have also (predictably) replicated the problem with two more puppies: Precise Puppy beta2 and Saluki-022. These new builds carry the same issue for me, but otherwise both of them are just beautiful. The topic title has also been edited to be more inclusive as it might have implied Slacko was at fault, which obviously is not the case, given all the releases already tested on this machine. Them puppies done me wrong. All of them.

I have a hidden option in the BIOS which i use, which gives protection off changes. The BIOS which i use is not for eeepc.
I don't know, and if the BIOS which you use is with hidden options.
Addition: the time can be edited!
I don't know why laboratories are named a hospitals.

Hi everybody,
just tested with EeePc900 and Slacko 5.3.3:
I disabled LAN, WLAN, audio and camera in BIOS. LAN, WLAN and audio doesn't work, if I run skype, camera works.
Running BIOS again, WLAN and camera are enabled.
This also happens, if I disable all in BIOS, start Slacko and close it directly, without running skype or network wizard.
I removed XP on this machine maybe 2 years ago.
Ich verwende "frugal", und das ist gut so.
Raspberry Pi without Puppy? No, thanks.

Here is an example that did happen to me.
I 've tested now several times looking in BIOS
and then booting again and rebooting again
shifting between Lupu 528-005 and FatDog 64 Beta.
FatDog seems to not touch BIOS and give right time.
Lupu seems to think that my local time should be GMT -2 hour
despite me have told Puppy setup personal settings to be plus two hour.
So Lupu again and again reset the time to plus 4 hours instead of plus 2 hours.
Any clue on what is going on? I have asked the Lupu people but it is Sunday
so they get back to me at Monday I hope

In a desperate effort to find the root cause of my problem, I've been doing some more googling and digesting tons of information along the way. As result, I can report some progress. Although the issue has not been entirely solved, it looks like I managed to outline an area where it resides. Actually, I can now boot and keep the BIOS settings unchanged. The boot parameter 'acpi=off' does the trick. There are many more, less radical ACPI parameters, but unfortunately they didn't work for me. The 'solution', of course comes at a price: backlight keys will not work (which is surprising, because on this eeepc, backlight is controlled by BIOS), no battery charging indicator and who knows how many other features that are dependent on ACPI will get nonfunctional. This mad scientist experiment was done on Slacko 533, Precise Beta 2 and Saluki 022. Or better yet, call it doing brain surgery with an ax (careful with that ax, anikin). Now my research is narrowed down to ACPI and DSDT, especially the latter.

For those of you just coming out of some form of hibernation this past week, let us direct your attention to that noble sporting event, track and field, in which athletes continually strive to push the limits of the human body.
As the runners wait at the starting line, we can often see them shouting war-cries, getting spectators psyched up and clapping, and otherwise getting themselves into their respective zones. Recently a video from the Junior World Championship in Barcelona of hurdler Michelle Jenneke and her pre-race jig, featuring some wiggly jiggling and trippy hand fluttering, has been swirling around the internets, particularly the version edited to have slow-motion and some fun, corny music (see below).

Disabled Actors Angry Over Wheelchair-Bound 'Ironside' Role Going to Non-Disabled ActorMay 22, 2013 | Leave a Comment
The television drama Ironside, which was about wheelchair-bound detective Robert T. Ironside, ran for eight seasons in the 1960s and 1970s and starred able bodied actor Raymond Burr. NBC has decided to revive the series for the upcoming television series with one major change: Ironside will be played by an African American actor, Blair Underwood. What hasn't changed? Like Burr, Underwood is not disabled. The decision to not cast a disabled actor in the role has made many disabled actors unhappy.
Kurt Yaeger, a one-legged actor on Sons of Anarchy is one of the loudest voices against the casting. He points out, "This would be like being in the '50s and having a white guy do blackface, at this point. You need to start having disabled people playing disabled characters. Period." Continue »

Tony Goldwyn has tons of female fans lusting after his character, President Fitzgerald Grant, on ABC's much buzzed about Scandal. But his wife isn't one of them.
"It's a problem," he joked while appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. "The honest answer is, my wife doesn't watch it. She watched the pilot and thought it was great, but yeah…I don't encourage it."
His acting also goes unappreciated by his two daughters. "My two girls think it's hilarious," he said, as reported by The New York Daily News. "Disgusting and hilarious. So they send me all kinds of rude texts." His 18-year-old once sent him a text saying "Excuse me?!" after he tells off Kerry Washington's character after having sex with her. Continue »

No one can say that Benedict Cumberbatch isn't having success in both movies and television these days with Star Trek Into Darkness and Sherlock, but the clearly-enunciating Englishman once blew the chance to conquer a third type of media: video games. On top of that, he blew the chance to play English icon James Bond in a video game… all because he didn't dress for the part!
He reveals, "I once got the chance to play James Bond in a computer game. But when I got to the audition there were men in their late 40s in dinner jackets there. I went in casual wear. I thought I would shake it up though and I started to dive over sofas and do all the gun poses and I did not get a call. I am still waiting." Continue »

Aaron Staton has had to do all sorts of things while playing Ken Cosgrove on AMC's Mad Men. During this past week's episode, he even had to tap dance.
"I took some classes in college, and my first job was in the Broadway show Mamma Mia!" he said in an interview with The New York Times. "I played the fiancé [Sky], and I had to do a bit of dancing, albeit in flippers. The truth of it is, it's not something I've done in a while. It's been a few years.
"First I got a text message, 'Do you tap dance?' And so I had to go: 'Do I? Let me check.' I'm still holding the phone—'What do I still know, if anything?' Mary Ann Kellogg—who has choreographed all of the dance sequences over the course of the show, from when Pete and Trudy did the Charleston and the 'Zou Bisou Bisou' song last year—she came aboard, and we had fun figuring this out. Matt [Weiner, the show-runner] knew he wanted a time step in there, and there were a couple steps that I needed to work on and freshen up a little bit." Continue »

What do you do if your longtime actor friend gets her big break before you do? You're happy for her, of course, but it might bring up major feelings of "compare and despair" for you at the same time.
Obviously, it's not always easy being friends or roommates or lovers with another actor. There's some ego involved. Sure. You're only human. And this industry has an undercurrent of competition flowing through it.
So how can you turn those debilitating feelings into ones that help you progress both in your relationships and in your career? I've got 3 suggestions for you. Continue »

Miller) return home after their fathers death, they unexpectedly find themselves poised to inherit more than $20 million. Trouble is, they can only get the money if - and only if – they can adhere to their late father's wishes.
The show is from the executive producers of How I Met Your Mother and Scott, who after graduating high school bought a one-way plane ticket to Los Angeles, said that even though he loved the script, he took the job "because I was available and it was there."
I met Scott briefly a long time ago and he's the most down to earth guy. And honest too based on his quote above. I talked to him in a conference call promoting the show and in the interview he talks about the cast, why he loves working in TV over film and theater and how he's been very "fortunate" in his career.
The Goodwin Games premieres tonight (Monday) at 8:30pm on FOX Continue »

Though Star Trek's original Scotty, James Doohan, was among Star Trek fans' favorite actors on the original series, many of them were happy when comedic English actor Simon Pegg was cast as Scotty in the 2009 movie reboot of the series. In an interview with Time, Pegg speaks about the challenge of taking on a role well established by another actor and what it feels like working with his Star Trek castmates again in Star Trek Into Darkness.
Because Pegg and the cast were playing characters beloved by millions and so tied to their original performers (Doohan performed as Scotty on the original Star Trek series, the animated series, seven films, and several video game adaptations and guest appearances), Pegg notes the difficulty of stepping into the role. He explains, "We all had that tricky task of channeling our forbears without ever impersonating them. We had to look at what they had done before and build on it, and make our own version of it. But at the same time, respect choices they made and parlay that into what we did." Continue »

"10 Things We've Learned About Tackling Global Poverty" (Acumen Fund) – published on Acumen Fund's blog in December 2011
Key Ideas:
- Impact investing pioneer Acumen Fund celebrates its 10 year anniversary of leading a trend that started from just a handful social investment funds back in 2001 to almost 200 impact players in 2011. The eco-system of engaged donors and investors supporting innovative NGOs and social entrepreneurs worldwide continues to grow as we speak. As part of its reflection, Acumen Fund has included a "Top 10 learnings" list on its blog in its quest to fight global poverty.
- The list Acumen "has found to be true" is as follows:
- Dignity is more important to the human spirit than wealth.
- Neither grants nor markets alone will solve the problems of poverty.
- Poverty is a description of someone's economic situation,
it does not describe who someone is. - We won't succeed in the long term without cultivating local leaders,
local money, and strong local communities. - Great people, every time, no exceptions.
- Great technology alone is not the answer.
- If failing is not an option, you've ruled out success as well.
- Governments rarely invent solutions, but they can scale what works.
- There is no currency like trust, and there are no shortcuts to earning it.
- Patient capital investing is built upon a system of values.
- Reading this reminded me of a fundamental but often neglected aspect in the business of "doing good" that we all had better be very clear about to remember why we do what we do, and not least also to save ourselves a lot of grief and "sinking heart" feeling later on. Hint: it's got to do with people.

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Asian stocks traded mostly lower Monday, as investors paused after pushing shares higher in the first few sessions of 2013.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:NIK -1.74% finished 0.8% lower, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884 AU:XJO -2.12% ended down 0.1% and Taiwan's Taiex /quotes/zigman/1565586 XX:Y9999 -1.35% gave up 0.7%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475 HK:HSI -2.88% and South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118 KR:SEU -2.00% ended fractionally lower.
Defying the broad downtrend, the Shanghai Composite Index /quotes/zigman/1858913 CN:000001 -41.89% edged 0.4% higher.
Many Asia markets had made sharp gains for 2012, and shares started the new year with solid advances after U.S. lawmakers reached a last-minute deal to delay most of the tax increases that were scheduled to take place early January.
The death of the e-reader
Specialized devices for reading e-books have been hot sellers for five years, but one market-research company forecasts a significant decline in 2014.
"So far equities are on track [to advance], although it may be a mistake to make a strong judgement based on the first week's trading," said Mitul Kotecha at Crédit Agricole.
"The U.S. fiscal-cliff agreement may have played into a tone of firmer risk appetite, but the fact that in less than two months there may be even greater tensions on the debt ceiling and spending cuts suggest that a one-way bet of improving risk appetite can by no means be guaranteed," Kotecha said.
Prices for gold and other metals extended losses in New York on Friday after minutes out Thursday from the Federal Reserve signaled that the U.S. central bank could bring quantitative easing to an end this year. Read: Gold ends 1.5% lower in extended fallout from Fed.
Many Asian metal and mining stocks had lost ground Friday following the Fed minutes, and they added to those losses Monday.
Japan's Kobe Steel Ltd. /quotes/zigman/194440 JP:5406 -2.27% /quotes/zigman/128772/quotes/nls/kbsty KBSTY +3.89% fell 2.7% and South Korea's Hyundai Steel Co. /quotes/zigman/1638720 KR:004020 -8.05% lost 0.9%, while Australia's Rio Tinto Ltd. /quotes/zigman/176317 AU:RIO -3.27% /quotes/zigman/182541/quotes/nls/rio RIO -1.59% fell 1.7% after a report that the firm is mulling closing an alumina refinery. Read: Rio may halt Australia alumina refinery: report.
Earnings will likely be in focus for the sector as well, with aluminum major Alcoa Inc. /quotes/zigman/246295/quotes/nls/aa AA -1.22% set to kick off the traditional opening of U.S. reporting season Tuesday. Read: Did cliff hit profits? These stocks may tell.
Alcoa rival Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. /quotes/zigman/5308 HK:2600 -3.14% /quotes/zigman/294208/quotes/nls/ach ACH -4.03% rose 0.3% in Hong Kong, but dropped 0.8% in Shanghai, while oil giant Cnooc Ltd. /quotes/zigman/29647 HK:883 -4.41% /quotes/zigman/274848/quotes/nls/ceo CEO -1.24% declined 1.2% in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong-listed banks traded mixed, with Europe-based HSBC Holdings PLC /quotes/zigman/13834 HK:5 -2.69% /quotes/zigman/207333/quotes/nls/hbc HBC -2.27% up 1.3% and Standard Chartered PLC /quotes/zigman/22519 HK:2888 -2.54% /quotes/zigman/22532 UK:STAN -3.21% rising 0.9%.
The moves came after global industry regulators delayed implementation of stringent capital requirements by four years, though Deutsche Bank analysts said "we don't think the changes announced by the Basel Committee are all that surprising. This means the overall impact should be relatively limited."
/quotes/zigman/5986735 NIK 13,014.58, -230.64, -1.74%
The Deutsche Bank analysts raised their target prices for Hong Kong-listed banks by just over 19%, saying "we believe China's GDP recovery will mitigate credit risks for banks."
Japanese stocks had enjoyed recent gains thanks to the falling yen, with the Nikkei Stock Average on Friday ending at its best level since March 2011.
With the dollar /quotes/zigman/4868099/sampled USDJPY +1.3006% falling back below ¥88 during the Monday stock session, Tokyo-listed exporters saw their early gains evaporate.
Mazda Motor Corp. /quotes/zigman/195040 JP:7261 +2.18% /quotes/zigman/195045/quotes/nls/mzdaf MZDAF -0.77% fell 2.7% after trading more than 1% higher earlier in the day, while Fanuc Corp. /quotes/zigman/192770 JP:6954 -3.20% /quotes/zigman/192775/quotes/nls/fanuf FANUF -1.45% gave up 3.8%, Fujitsu Ltd. /quotes/zigman/193012 JP:6702 -5.64% /quotes/zigman/192990/quotes/nls/fjtsy FJTSY +1.75% lost 5.4%, and Sharp Corp. /quotes/zigman/197304 JP:6753 -2.58% /quotes/zigman/197313/quotes/nls/shcaf SHCAF +6.24% dropped 4.4%.
Softbank Corp. /quotes/zigman/139194 JP:9984 0.00% /quotes/zigman/139200/quotes/nls/sftbf SFTBF +2.77% fell 1.9% amid reports that Clearwire Corp. /quotes/zigman/112837/quotes/nls/clwr CLWR +3.07% is attempting to prevent Softbank's deal to buy about 70% of Sprint Nextel Corp. /quotes/zigman/240259/quotes/nls/s S -4.37% .
Also in Japan, Aozora Bank Ltd. /quotes/zigman/443480 JP:8304 +0.35% /quotes/zigman/484225/quotes/nls/aozoy AOZOY +0.49% tumbled 10.1% after Reuters cited unnamed sources as saying Cerberus Capital Management LP of the U.S. would sell most of its stake in the Japanese lender for some $2.3 billion.
In South Korea, market heavyweight Samsung Electronics Co. /quotes/zigman/189457 KR:005930 -2.92% /quotes/zigman/189458/quotes/nls/ssnlf SSNLF -0.36% fell 0.3% after China reportedly slapped a 353 million yuan ($56.6 million) fine on six LCD panel makers — including Samsung — for price fixing.
Losses for other firms fined included drops for three Taiwan-listed names: Innolux Corp. /quotes/zigman/1574676 TW:3481 -6.83% , down 5.4%; AU Optronics Corp. /quotes/zigman/1566317 TW:2409 -6.17% , off 5.1%; and HannStar Display Corp. /quotes/zigman/1567447 TW:6116 +2.26% , 4.7% lower.

I am having an issue where the camera app crashes on one particular picture in the photo library on my iphone 4. I start the app, click on the library button in the lower-left corner, the picture comes up for 1/2 a second, then the app crashes. I've narrowed it down to this one photo since I was able to export and then delete all newer photos trying to solve this problem.
So far I've tried closing the app, rebooting the iphone, reset sharing accounts in the settings. I can't seem to get at my pictures any other way than through the app - is there a way to save the pictures, uninstall the app, then reinstall it?

A new year, a new insanity
January 02, 2010, 03:19:AM »
OK, this is something that's been rattling around in my cage for a while, and it's probably a good time to give it a go and see what happens.
I'm an oddball, and I know it. I also have had trouble my whole life finding a spirituality (e.g., Franciscan, Dominican, etc.) that I feel comfortable in. And the more I try to discern, the more I think God is kind of leaving it up to me to do something or not, so I will attempt to do something.
What I am going to try to do is start an association of Christian Faithful as provided for under Canon 215 and Canon 216 (1983):
Can. 215 The Christian faithful are at liberty freely to found and direct associations for purposes of charity or piety or for the promotion of the Christian vocation in the world and to hold meetings for the common pursuit of these purposes.
Can. 216 Since they participate in the mission of the Church, all the Christian faithful have the right to promote or sustain apostolic action even by their own undertakings, according to their own state and condition. Nevertheless, no undertaking is to claim the name Catholic without the consent of competent ecclesiastical authority.
The general outline will be the following:
1) The goal is the same as that of the Church - to aid in the salvation of souls, and that will be its highest rule.
2) It will be (at least initially) for men 18 and older. This will be a brotherhood or fraternity of men.
3) The overall charism will be one of penance and service to one's brother by helping them to be better Catholics
4) Each person will choose a secondary charism based on a religious order or Saint that they feel drawn to.
5) It will be based on traditional Catholic practices and a traditional Catholic worldview, but one doesn't have to be a traditional Catholic.
6) It will be appropriate for both the married and unmarried man; the practices, etc., will not be something "undoable" in our day and age.
7) Anyone can leave at any time based on their choice and they will be considered non-members from that point forward, stricken from the membership list and the prayer rolls.
8 ) There are no permanent vows or any vows of that kind, and no one would be kicked completely out (i.e., at the very least they would remain on the membership list and on the prayer rolls) since the charism is to help each other to be better Catholics - we sinners belong there most of all even if one is excommunicated etc.; we would pray God that they come back to Mother Church.
I'll post more at another time when I have it hammered out more. But, I am hopeful that some others after reading what I post will be interested and want to work on getting this started with me. Really the goal is something I said I had a long time ago: I want to be a better Catholic and help others to be better Catholics (and clearly have others help me to be a better Catholic!); and that comes down in my mind to penance and service to others.

will it be focused on prayer and personal penance, or acts of Charity?
Will it have a specific outreach to the wider community (Newsletters -free roserys, pamphlets, buttons, medals, sacramentals, candles? that kind of thing)
what kind of resources do you see being applied to help other Men be better Catholics.?
where will this meet...in cyberspace...or real place?
Am I already over complicateing it?

Well, as far as I know of in Church history it will be unique.
But definitely not in a bad way.
The resources are each other. We will help each other to be better Catholics by giving what we have to others and letting them help us at the same time. We do things like that on the forum all the time. If one of us has struggled with something and we say, "What can I do?" others who have the same struggle say, "I did this, and it helped" or "You need to talk to your priest" or whatnot. And we pray for each other and do penance and acts of prayer. That's the penitential aspect, but it will have other aspects as well.
But it can be taken to another level. Back in the day, LumenGentleman (Jacob Michael) used to hold Scripture Study in the chatroom because he knew a lot about Scripture. If someone has this skill, they can offer it to others and they can learn enough to hold Scripture Study either for other members or in their community. And then they can at the same time move on to learning something else from someone else. Like maybe MagisterMusciae can offer his knowledge about Gregorian Chant to people and help them start a choir (difficult over the internet, but possible - or maybe a collection can be had to send someone to MM from time-to-time for lessons).
And as far as charisms go, that's to help the spiritual. It's to cultivate a devotion to a Saint or a form of prayer and help each other actually progress in that as far as laymen might be able to help each other. If someday clergy associate themselves, there could be help that way for people, too.
It could be in person or completely in cyberspace. For in person, there may be stricter rules such as meeting places, elections and stuff, just because there has to be, but I think at first it would just be in cyberspace. But we would make it so anyone could join - they could write a letter and get a pamphlet and materials back if they don't have internet. I wouldn't want to leave anyone out.
Let me write a proposal - just enough so people can see if they are interested. Then we would work on formalizing things together as to the hows and whys. It will take a week or two. All of this stuff has been in my head for years, but I need to write it down.

Actually, yes to the standard! Why not? Catholicism can be fun - a sad nun is a bad nun and all that. Boys like swords and standards and such, so we could have certain things like that if people want. But since the charism is penitential we should avoid extravagance. Wooden swords and sackcloth "armor" would be more in keeping with penance methinks.... This is about Spiritual Combat, not going on Crusades. ;)

This sounds almost like a crowdsourced 3rd order.
Very wiki...
"It is questionable whether the proper functions of Catholics is to hunt down, "expose" and condemn Catholics they suspect of undue rigidity, disobedience or "material schism"; especially while giving support to a Vatican ecumenical campaign which addresses heretics and actual Schismatics as "separated brethren", Jews as "people of the covenant" and Muslims as "people of God". This is part of the overall contradiction (or inconsistency) that permeates the "conservative" mentality. Cloaked in a pledged loyalty to all things "whatsoever" emanating from the Holy See, many "conservatives" will go beyond the measures taken by the Church leaders, or even disagree with their actual positions. The Hawaii "excommunications" were an obvious example but others can be seen. "Conservatives" denounce as "Schismatic" all those who set foot in SSPX chapels while the Vatican embraces the Schismatics in China. "Conservatives" deny any significant change at the Second Vatican Council while the Pope celebrates the enormity and impact of the changes. "Conservatives" seek the conversion of the Eastern "Orthodox" while the Vatican promises not to "proselytize" them. "Conservatives" deride American bishops while the Pope appoints and promotes the same ones." -Peter Miller

"Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil." -

I'm working on a software product, and to mitigate piracy problems I was thinking about offering the uncrippled software for free, but requesting donations and offering various things (like website access and program enhancement files) in return (a la PBS and NPR). If the program is popular enough (and I'm assuming that a free product would get more use than one that costs money, which might not be true), it would also drive traffic to the website, and I could sell ads and ancilary products.
I've sold shareware for years, and my operating assumption has always been that people who steal my cracked software wouldn't pay for it no matter what I did, so I've never put more than the minimal amount of copy protection into my products anyway. What I do use (PayPal, unlock code via email) is enough of a pain for both me and the clients that I suspect it chases off a high percentage of people who might otherwise use the product regularly and eventually get around to giving me a small donation.
Does giving the software away and then begging for money sound like a good plan?
