How-to Guides and Manuals for Young People
|This article originally appeared in Printed Sources: A Guide to Published Genealogical Records, edited by Kory L. Meyerink.
An audience that has received much recent attention is young people who are searching for knowledge of the past. Guides aimed at this age level generally emphasize tracing family history through interviewing relatives, exploring sources found in the home, and using published works at libraries. Archival and public record searches assume secondary importance or are completely disregarded. Another feature of guides for young people is descriptions of creative ways to display or report findings.
A popular children's manual is My Backyard History Book, by David Weitzman. Chapters titled "Wow, Have You Got Ancestors!" "Out on a Limb of the Family Tree," and "Families Come in All Shapes and Sizes" make research fun and manageable.
A few books are directed at youth groups, such as 4-H or scouting organizations. Elizabeth L. Nichols's Genealogy is used by the Boy Scouts of America for scouts seeking a merit badge in genealogy. Both Genealogy and My Backyard History Book can be used as teacher and classroom aids for integrating genealogy into the curricula of geography, social studies, math, and science courses.
Another excellent children's book is Roots for Kids, by Susan Provost Beller. Intended for students as young as fourth grade, Beller's guide is the result of more than a decade of teaching genealogy in Vermont. Roots for Kids can be used as a textbook in a twelve-week enrichment class, as a guide for a mini-course, or as a self-teaching reader for students in sixth grade and above. (The text uses Vermont record-keeping systems, so allowances must be made for area terminology if the book is used outside of Vermont.) Beller presents the basics of genealogy in words and tone suitable for her intended audience. Her inclusion of sample request letters and abstract forms and examples is a welcome and essential addition to the text.
Early in Roots for Kids, Beller discusses good note-keeping and citing of sources. Her list of rules for handling courthouse and other records beginning with clean hands, please! is practical and appropriate. Chapter 8, "A Visit to the Town or County Clerk's Office," includes some universal cautions about visits to public records offices; for instance, The most important plan for you as a student doing research is to have an adult go with you. The text is enjoyable to read and is not burdened with details that may interest adults but bore children. For example, Beller wisely advises readers to ask someone how to use the Soundex because it can be tricky (Beller 1997, 71).
Beller's treatment of sources is adequate for her audience. While a reviewer may take issue with statements such as, "If the person you are looking for died without a will, you usually will not get very much information from these [probate] records" (Beller 1997, 55), on the whole, Roots for Kids is a solid presentation of genealogy for young learners.

Programming Principles
Students learn basics through LEGO robotics
Byline info is not available
Glidden-Ralston students Kimberly Daily, Mason Janssen and Cody Klocke work with a robot entry in the LEGO League. Two teams from the school had placewinners in robot design at a December competition.
League entries work with a basic computer that controls the movements of the robots. Teams program their entries using practice boards.
January 24, 2014
Once again, middle school teachers and the LEGO Group are teaming up to show students that it is cool to be a computer geek.
Julie Leonard, Glidden-Ralston gifted and talented, consumer sciences, and guidance teacher, introduced her students to the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology LEGO League seven years ago. At their latest competition in Oceola in December, the sixth-grade boys' team, Sharknados, and the combined boys and girls fourth- through eighth-grade team, Hydro Overflow, took first and second places, respectively, for robot design.
The process begins with a "brick," a roughly 3-by-4-inch Lego box containing a small computer, explained Austin Snyder, sixth-grade participant.
Next, the students choose the number of wheels - two to four - and test the results with big wheels versus small wheels, or tracks versus treads, explained Leonard.
They can also add sensors, explained Kimberly Daily, fifth-grade member of the Hydro Overflow team. Her team's robot included a touch sensor, which tells the robot to stop when it pushes up against a solid object; a light sensor, which enables the robot to follow lines based on the differences in lightness and darkness on the board below it; and a color sensor, which adjusts the robot's movements based on the colors it registers on the board beneath it.
The students' goal is to program their robot to complete a series of missions. They have a time limit of two minutes and 30 seconds - the more actions completed in that time, the more points earned by the team.
The theme of the fall competition was "Nature's Fury," so the game board and the tasks were designed to emulate actions taken during natural-disaster relief to encourage students to explore how technology could contribute to solutions. Tasks included clearing a runway, assisting with a plan landing, delivering water and supplies and evacuating people and animals.
The students are able to build attachments to work with their robot, but they must be designed to remove quickly so as not to lose valuable seconds, said Leonard. The programmers can also set the robot to complete multiple tasks at once before "returning to base," Daily explained, setting up her robot for a demonstration.
The board is designed to exact specifications, allowing the students to calculate the distances from the robot's home base to each specific piece. The students then program the robot by calculating the number of wheel rotations needed to reach an object, the direction the robot should travel, and the number of degrees it needs to turn to avoid various obstacles.
"Programming is just logical thinking," explained Jim Wittry, who volunteers with the teams. "It's charting progress step-by-step."
Cited by Leonard as a "vital" volunteer, Wittry is a self-described "computer geek." He is a network designer for Principal Financial in Des Moines. He began helping with the robotics club four years ago when one of his own children got involved.
"It's a natural fit for me to help," he said, adding that he will probably continue even when his own children grow too old to be involved in the program. "I enjoy it. And there really aren't a lot of programming folks around."
Wittry said that it can be challenging to keep eight to 10 elementary and middle-school students engaged while only one student at a time can work on programming. Though he shows them how to program or build something when asked, he said most of the ideas are their own.
"It depends on the year," he said, explaining that he encourages students to start building their robots using one of the basic designs included in the Lego Mindstorms kits.
"Some years they're more creative and want to do their own thing," he said. "Whether it works as well or not doesn't matter - it's theirs."
Wittry also helps Leonard coach a summer robotics camp, where students can learn the basics of programming, including constructs, loops and how to use motors and sensors, all through the tools provided in the Lego robotics sets. He said it is easiest to see the growth in students who participate for several years in a row. The older students begin to take on more programming decision-making responsibilities.
The FIRST LEGO League is open to students ages 9 to 14. It also includes a research component related to the theme. For their research portion, one of the Glidden-Ralston teams reviewed the town's disaster-relief plan, recommending that people gather at the school in the aftermath of a tornado.
The next level of the FIRST LEGO programs is First Tech Challenge, open to students in seventh through 12th grades. Designed for older students who do not have the interest in the research project, FTC is all about programming.
The robots are bigger and badder, built with tetrics, a combination metal materials instead of smaller plastic Lego bricks, explained FTC team member Jason Bagley. The mat is 12-feet-square, and four teams face off from each corner. But the four teams do not all battle each other - the competition adds the element of alliance.
When team's reach the competition, they have to work together with a team they have never met in order to defeat the two teams facing them across the mat.
This year's theme was "Block Party." The teams had two minutes and 30 seconds for their robots to complete programmed tasks, one minute and 30 seconds to remotely control their robot, and an optional 30-second "endgame."
This season was the second year Glidden-Ralston had an FTC team, and Jason Bagley's first year as a member.
One of the tasks for this year's competition was to pick and place blocks on a pendulum, meaning the teams had to work together to keep the pendulum balanced throughout the exercise. Bagley and his team achieved this by designing a robot with two wheels close together on the robot arm, enabling it to spin the wheels in to roll in a block and pick it up, then reversing the wheel spin to spit the wheel back out.
Teams get six attempts, and the totals of each attempt are combined after the final try to give the alliance a final score. At the end of the competition, the top four teams get to select their alliance teams. The two winning alliances then move on to state.
"There is a massive draft at the end," Bagley explained. "You want to perform well throughout the day and also make good relationships."
Some teams have enough members that individuals can be sent to meet and scout potential alliances, explained Leonard. GR didn't have these numbers, but they were still able to make an impression when they gave fuses to another team who had burnt their own. In exchange, that team shared a way to complete the endgame.
The FTC team was unable to practice on a full mat before the competition, but Leonard hopes to remove extra sinks from the middle of her classroom in order to accommodate the full mat next year. Bagley also hopes to add a Plexiglas casing - the metal parts of the larger robots can do unintentional damage if they get too close to each other without some sort of barrier.
According to Leonard, more than 400 teams participated in FLL during the fall semester, while 160 teams participated in FTC.
The FTC equipment is also more expensive, said Leonard. Glidden-Ralston has received grants and sponsorships from FIRST LEGO, Rockwell City Collins, Raccoon Electrical Cooperative, the booster club and the Masonic Lodge.
Wittry said programming is an important skill in today's economy - even the use of an Excel spreadsheet involves basic tenets of programming, and few professions don't involve computers at some level.
"It's a way for kids to get a little experience," he said. "Hopefully it will pique their interest to go into the field in some way."

In this video, Barry Gidal PharmD talks about the evolution of the treatment of epilepsy. Get more information and watch more celebrity and expert interviews at TalkAboutIt.org.
How are seizures and epilepsy treated? What should I do if someone has a seizure? When seizure medications don't work, what else can be tried? These are just a few of the questions that you'll find answered here.
Some treatment goals are common to everyone.
- Everyone should know what to do when a person is having a seizure.
- All people with seizures and their families should know that the real goal of treating epilepsy is to stop seizures or control them as best as possible.
- But you are more than just a seizure and how epilepsy affects you and your family may be different from someone else. Don't forget the most important goal of the Epilepsy Foundation - helping people with seizures and their families lead full and unrestricted lives according to their own wishes.
"No seizures, no side effects" is the motto for epilepsy treatment. Not every person will reach that goal right now, but research and getting the "right care at the right time" can help more people achieve it each year.
You may learn things here that can help you right away or later on. While seizure medicines are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment, there are other approaches to think about too. We hope these sections will help you learn about different treatments and get the help you need.
- Learn about the basics of Treatment 101 to help you get started.
- Look at Receiving Quality Care to see what to expect when you have just been diagnosed or after you have already started treatment.
- Then learn about specific treatments, what to do if seizures don't stop, and how to develop your health care team.
- You'll also find tools to help you manage your epilepsy or learn about research studies in other sections, so don't stop here!

HOUSTON - Houston police are searching for a 47-year-old man who has been accused of exposing himself to a teenage boy in a grocery store restroom.
Court records read the incident happened May 26 at a Fiesta grocery store on North Shepherd.
Jose Najera has been charged with indecency with a child but has not yet been arrested.
Court documents show a 13-year-old boy was shopping with his parents when he stopped to use the restroom.
Investigators wrote that when the teen entered a restroom stall, he noticed someone peering at him through the crack in the stall door. Detectives said when the teen opened the door he was confronted by Najera, who has been accused of pulling down his pants and rubbing his own groin.
Police said the boy ran out of the restroom and told his parents about the incident. Detectives said the parents and Fiesta employees then followed Najera to the parking lot.
Investigators said before Najera left the area, the boy's parents snapped pictures of his face and his license plate with a cellphone camera. Those pictures helped identify Najera.
Court records read Najera confessed to being in the restroom with the teen. It is not clear why Najera was not arrested at the time he was questioned by investigators.
Local 2 tried to speak with Najera at his house in Humble, but no one answered the door.
The family of the boy declined to speak with Local 2 on camera, but said they were happy to learn charges had been filed in this case.

If you are like me you have listened to many sermons. Some good and some not so good. (I have preached both as well.) There have been times that I have walked away from hearing a sermon and been overcome with the glory of God. Have you ever wondered what makes a good sermon? What makes us see God and his glory and power?

How do I adjust the header size to fit n any screen resolution?
This is the website: http://nelsonnaibert.com.br/
Hope you can helo me.
Thanks a lot!
Even on small screens, the header link is still set to:
.header-title {
display: block;
width: 997px;
height: 400px;
background: url(http://nelsonnaibert.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/NNaibert_Header9.gif) no-repeat 0 0;
text-indent: -9999em;
margin: 0 auto;
and you still have that big background image. You could switch to a different image, or change its size with background-size, although that's a new property that doesn't work on older browsers.
Thanks again for your help, Ralph. As you can see, I'm a begginer and I'm having some trouble with this header. When I replace width in pixels for 90%, there's no way to align header and menu n the center of the page and, as you've mentioned, I still have the big background image.
Since the beggining, I wanted to have the white background associated to the main column and not as a background image, but didn't know how to do that. Is that really a solution? If so, how can it do that?
Hi @laurabd;We're trying out a new product at SitePoint to help people fix broken CSS in real-time. Your problem looks like one that we could easily help you fix on the spot. One of our CSS experts is online now and ready to help if you're interested in giving it a try.
Edit: I'm removing the link to the product while we fine tune and develop further. Will keep you posted.
Finally I could solve the background issue, but still having trouble with the header image. Which would be the correct setting?
You can use a different background image at each break point, sized to fit, and serve it up via @media rules.
Hey @laurabd;We're running another test of our live CSS problem solving product.If you want to utilise our experts to get your site sorted out immediately, you can check it out here http://codefix.sitepoint.com/
Now everything's working great. Thanks again for your enormous patience!
Glad to hear it.

Blues and greens
Posted 07 June 2013 - 10:53 PM
I just don't like browns so much. I want to know if other potters think that working with blues and greens is a sell out. Be honest.
I will not be changing my colors, because I truly do like what I have going on, but I am just curious.

Posted 08 June 2013 - 10:23 PM
i understand color is part of an artist's creative palate, which defines one's style
why not try different colors, glazes and see what you think and your buyers think.
from a creative perspective yo have to satisfy yourself, and its necessary to stretch yourself creatively on ocassion
make you bread an butter pieces, sometimes you have to educate, pull your customers away from beige
if you always walk the same streets........you never go any where new.

Make what you love and then find a market for it.
Make what the market loves and then sell it.
Some people do one... some people do the other...and some do a little of both.
So the real question here is........ ask yourself why you are asking this question. When you find the answer to that...... you'll likely have your answer.

There are two general approaches to making and selling ceramics.........
Make what you love and then find a market for it.
Make what the market loves and then sell it.
Some people do one... some people do the other...and some do a little of both.
So the real question here is........ ask yourself why you are asking this question. When you find the answer to that...... you'll likely have your answer.
I started with make what I love and find a market-later I learned that doing both worked best as far as making a living.This was learned 35 yeas ago.
One thing about color is it sells better in some areas better than others-for me browns are the slowest sellers but sell better inland in the western states-The coastal areas blues and greens do better. I have no experience on the left coast.
Posted 09 June 2013 - 06:10 PM
I am one of the former of the two types of artists. I make what I love, and then people come to me. If you keep trying to find out what the next big trend is, you will always fall behind. You cannot please everyone. So please yourself. If you are selling work to make a living, you need to find out what people want. My last sale, I made a brown glaze. I had two pie dishes at $50.00 each in the brown Temmoku glaze. Both sold. I am not partial to brown. I like colour. Now I am in inner turmoil. Did I sell myself out, or was I just covering my bases with some variety for everyone? Time will tell.
Your colours are working. If you like them, keep doing them.
Posted 10 June 2013 - 06:33 AM
stick with your blues and greens unless you have something special in mind.
Most people like these colours and they are easy on the eye.
Posted 11 June 2013 - 01:47 PM
I have a line of work that is monochromatic blues and greens with some black and whites to make everything pop. I have an extensive background in color, so my choices are well thought out, and it doesn't hurt that my colors are great in my firing range.^6.
I just don't like browns so much. I want to know if other potters think that working with blues and greens is a sell out. Be honest.
I will not be changing my colors, because I truly do like what I have going on, but I am just curious.
I've read several articles over the years that say that good old cobalt blue outsells every other glaze color. I had a ceramics instructor once who would very much discourage students from using cobalt blue. He said he got tired of looking at beginning student pots that were predominantly this color.
Posted 12 June 2013 - 08:08 AM
When I did high volume production I always consulted the Pantone site for next years colors. It is no coincidence that carpets match furniture and furniture matches paint colors and they all match the paintings, dinnerware, throw pillows, clothing, shoes ...etc. I did not see any reason why my bread and butter pieces should be left out. : - )
I advocate "Some and Some" ... Some for paying bills and some for your soul.

As one who enjoys trying new glazes, both made from recipes and purchased, and has over 50 glazes to choose from in my studio, I can tell you the thought of having two or three, or an adaptable base glaze is sometimes a strong pull.
Posted 14 June 2013 - 10:10 AM
They have more character.

"A preference for blue and green may be due to a preference for certain habitats that were beneficial in the ancestral environment..."
(Source: Wikipedia).
There is a definite snobbery amoungst some potters against blue.
They think it is a beginner's colour and that they have somehow "advanced" to other colours/glazes.
Is this perhaps because they think if they can mix their own glazes they can snub "ordinary" blue ?
Posted 17 June 2013 - 01:34 PM
the serious work was done by those potters you new folks know as historical figures, bernard leach, michael cardew, shoji hamada, harrison mcintosh, and many more. and glazes were dipped.
in my opinion, color in pots took off after the really beautiful work was able to be photographed in color. what was the name of the woman whose article showed how she made "crayons" and shredded them into her work? started with an H i think. the black background was speckled with all these amazing bright colors. she sold a line of dishes in some very high-class department store. this was probably concurrent with the energy crisis and the attendant outcry about going all the way to cone 10 using gas. such waste!
funny, then we began to see articles in CM about the possibility of using cone 6 and being considered real potters anyway. and now there are many of you using the tiny, little jars of underglaze. how do you dip into those jars?
cycles come and go. ain't life grand?

One time, everything in the room was blue or green and I felt as though I was under water. I produced a painting to match their color scheme but I also took one where my predominant color was cadmium red with burnt sienna (and eight pillows in various shades of red to orange). I hung the painting they'd ordered on the wall above a baby grand in dark wood (not blue!). Ho Hum, was my reaction. The owners didn't seem overjoyed either. I asked them to leave the room for a bit and hung my painting choice, and tossed the pillows on several chairs and the sofa, then asked their reaction. They went with my choice and I still think that art--paintings, sculpture, pottery--should not "blend in".
I guess what I'm trying to say is make your work strong and color it the way you like, but maybe increase your palette so you also have a counter-point to the blues & greens. In color, opposites on a color wheel are called complimentary colors. They sing in harmony.

Shirley, I think it was great that people were asking you to "match the upholstery". They treated you as an interior designer.
You might be a great artist too, but they needed somebody to help them decorate their room. It didn't make you less of an artist.
When somebody asks me to make a platter or pitcher for their bedroom or kitchen, I always take it as an opportunity to be creative.
I look at their existing design and come up with some interesting ideas.
Clay tile Mom, I think it is a big mistake that you are trying to adjust your work to what the crowd wants. First of all, you never know anyway what they will want this or next day. Secondly, if you take an approach of "color matching", you lose your personality. An artist should not change himself to please the public. The artist should educate and lead the public. Start creating something that is standing out, and you will be able to sell it regardless of the color.
P.S. As an example of what you shouldn't make: platters with a skull!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A new motion has been filed to dismiss the murder indictment against 13-year-old murder suspect Cristian Fernandez.
Florida criminal law calls for either the death penalty or life in prison for people who plead guilty or are convicted of first-degree murder. But earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down both those punishments were unconstitutional for juveniles.
Since the indictment now "fails to provide notice of potential punishments or sentences that may be imposed" on a juvenile defendant, Fernandez's lawyers argue the indictment violates his due process and should be dismissed, according to the motion.
DOCUMENT: Motion to dismiss murder indictment of Cristian Fernandez
Channel 4 legal expert and defense attorney Gene Nichols said the new motion to dismiss is a good strategy.
"I think it's a well-reasoned motion," Nichols said. "As we know, the Supreme Court came out a couple months ago and said that a juvenile cannot be convicted to life imprisonment. We already knew a juvenile could not be convicted to death."
Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson said that it's possible Fernandez does not completely understand what's going on.
"In my experience in dealing with young juveniles, you know Cristian Fernandez appears to be somewhat displaced mentally, and what I mean by that is, he doesn't appear to know what's going on," Jefferson said.
At a status conference Thursday, the judge set Sept. 28 for a hearing on the motion to dismiss, and another defense motion to be granted access to the pre-sentencing investigation report on Biannela Susana, Fernandez's mother.
Fernandez is accusing in the beating death of his 2-year-old half brother, David Galarriago, and of sexually abusing a 5-year-old half brother.
Susana pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of her son and will be a witness against Fernandez.

I am working on a project that requires submitting the content of the PDF document as a stream to a Servlet. For the most part, the project works fine – the form is posted by the Acrobat/Reader, the server receives the file, creates a local copy and processes it correctly. After the post is successfully received, the last step on the server is to send a reply to the Acrobat/Reader. On not receiving a reply, the Adobe Acrobat/Reader throws an unknown format error.
Reason of the problem is that the Adobe Acrobat/ Reader expect a return from the servlet and the application server was not generating a response that Acrobat/Reader understands. To remove the error message, the servlet should return a properly constructed FDF and the URL of the submit button should end with #FDF.
Note: I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer; I believe you can use Adobe Acrobat to achieve the same result.
Here are the exact steps to remove the error:
- Open your XDP form in LiveCycle Designer.
- Select the Submit button.
- Either in the Design View or in the Source view, edit submit to URL to add #FDF at the end of the URL.
- Save the XDP.
- In your Java project, create a plain-text file and add the following content:
%FDF-1.2 1 0 obj << /FDF << /Status (Your message goes here.) >> >> endobj trailer << /Root 1 0 R >> %%EOF
- Replace "Your message goes here." with the text you want to display.
- Save the file. For this example, let us save the file as returnresponse.txt
- Import returnresponse.txt to your Java project.
- Add the following code to your servlet:
response.setHeader("returnresponse.txt", "The file has been submitted sucessfully");
The Java code sets the MIME type of the response in the "Content-type" HTTP header to "application/vnd.fdf".
- Run the program and you should not experience the error again.

"Natural Insecticide Recreated in the Lab" is the headline of an article in Biology News Net, 23 Aug 2007. A team of British scientists has made a compound named azadirachtin, a substance that inhibits the development of a numerous destructive insects, but does not harm beneficial insects such as bees and ladybugs. The compound occurs naturally in the Neem, or Indian lilac tree. The structure of the molecule was worked out in 1985 and it has taken 22 years of dedicated research by the team led by Steven Ley at the University of Cambridge to work out how to make the molecule in the lab. It is a large, complicated molecule with 16 stereocentres, sites where two possible mirror image molecules could fit but only one will work, a "complex pattern of oxygen-containing functional groups, and a conformation and reactivity that are strongly dependent on intramolecular bridging hydrogen bonds." Ley commented: "While we have been working on this complex synthesis we have also developed a number of new methods that are of general use for the construction of other important molecules." Biology News Net
Editorial Comment: The scientists in the re-creation team deserve our congratulation, but why do they want to avoid the obvious - the One who originally created it without a copy to go by must be much cleverer. Making this molecule took careful plan and purpose, involving the invention of new chemical techniques. It is foolish to believe that the Neem tree, or blind chance, did all this. Anyone involved in the 22 years of research now has no excuse for not acknowledging the Creator of the Neem tree and giving Him the honour due to His name. (Ref. chemistry, design, synthesis)

SPRINT star Danny Talbot returns to the indoor track this weekend as he looks to put himself on the path to this summer's Commonwealth Games.
London 2012 Olympian Talbot, 22, didn't take part in the indoor season last year but the Trowbridge Tornado hasn't stuck with that plan of action in 2014.
He will grab his first taste of competition this year when he competes in the 60m at the South of England Championships, at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre in London, on Sunday.
200m specialist Talbot's major goal of the season is securing a spot in the England squad for July's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow but before that, the Wiltshire ace's indoor competition will build up to February's British Indoor Championships at the English Institute of Sport, in Sheffield.
"I went on holiday with my friends last September and after that, winter training was pretty hard all through October, November and December," he said.
"Things have settled down a little bit now that competition starts next weekend.
"Last year, I didn't do the indoor season and I guess you could say that it worked because I ran a personal best outdoors (20.45 seconds in the 200m at an international event in Geneva, last June) but I was lacking that little bit of sharpness as the season went on.
"So this year, I'm going to try doing it again.
"My start is probably the weakest part of my race so I'm going to be doing a lot of 60m races to try and work on that first stretch.
"I've been doing a lot of distance work over the winter so I'm going to use the 60m races as sprint training – I usually finish strongly so hopefully working on this part will help.
"I've got the UK championships to concentrate on and then after that, my group should be going out to train in America again in March or April.
"I'll do a few races out there and hopefully run the qualifying time for the Commonwealth Games."
Talbot's biggest disappointment of 2013 was being controversially overlooked for Great Britain's World Championship squad and coach Dan Cossins revealed that the Trowbridge Tornado may look to add another string to his bow and experiment with running 400m.
But the Wiltshire star says that the 200m is still his focus.
He said: "I was going to try a bit of 400m at the end of the season but I got pretty ill and ended up not doing it.
"The 200m is still my event, especially with the Commonwealths to think about, so I think that I might look to give it a go at the end of the year but not before that."

For National Hot Dog Month in July a number of major league baseball teams featured special items on the concession stand menus, and apparently the Milwaukee Brewers offered a bratwurst stuffed with a hot dog. That got me to thinking of a sausage version of the turducken...
"Thuringer" is apparently the German word for "summer sausage".
I hollowed out the sausage, stood it upright, dropped in the hot dog, and packed the loose bratwurst around it.
The ThurBratDog went on my Weber 22" kettle and the fire was set up with lots of hickory for a strong smoke. After it'd been on for awhile I added the other 7 dogs and let them go until they were done, and they were a nice change of pace from standard grilled dogs.
I was surprised at how much smoke the summer sausage absorbed; I removed the casing before I put it on the grill and it developed a bit of a shell. Also, the loose brat meat shrunk and separated from the beef summer sausage. If I was to try this again I'd strongly consider standard indirect grilling with just a hint of smoke.


text: I thought since we have an international audience here that I could get some info on some places to go for BBQ in London. I have a colleague who is spending a lot of time there and he not thrilled with some of the 'que that he's tried. Any info would help.

A new study shows sexual violence is prevalent among teens. Nearly 1 in 10 youths report having perpetrated an act of sexual violence according to the study. Attempted or completed rape was reported by 4% of a nationally representative sample of young people between ages 14 and 21.
Published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, this research is the first report to attempt national estimates of adolescent sexual violence perpetration and the perpetrator experience. The data draws from surveys in 2010 and 2012 a part of the Growing Up with Media study.
The findings shed valuable light on teen perpetration, and I think this study highlights the importance of healthy sexuality as a prevention strategy. It's also important to remember that the vast majority of young people do not perpetrate violence, and youth often face stigmas and barriers related to adultism and stereotypes in culture and media. In reviewing this data, it's important to understand that all human behavior is in the context of environment, education and experience, and it's vital that our prevention efforts impact these areas.
Research should always be taken in context, and reviewing the study, methods and limitations is helpful in interpreting data. Draw your own conclusions.
• Nearly 1 in 10 (9%) reported some type of sexual violence perpetration (kissing, touching and unwanted sexual contact, attempted or completed rape).
• Sixteen was the most common age of first perpetration (40%).
• Teens reporting sexual violence perpetration also reported greater exposure to sexually violent media.
• Half of young people who sexually offend said the victim was completely responsible (50%).
• All perpetrators were familiar with victims, and three in 4 victims were a romantic partner (73%).
• Few people who sexually offend experience consequences or contact with justice system.
• Coercive tactics (32%) such as pressuring, arguing and guilt and anger (63%) were vastly more common than use of threat (5%) or physical force (8%).
Results of this study are rich with connections very relevant to anyone looking to support youth and especially adolescent health care providers, school-based professionals and advocates. Demographic information from the research challenges gender bias and stereotypes by including both males and females as perpetrators and reporting lowest rates of perpetration by disadvantaged youth and underprivileged populations.
I love that the research challenges practitioners to check assumptions and biases, and I also like how the research identifies the key roles of health care providers and educators in supporting youth. Findings also detail strong connections between x-rated, sexually violent material and media exposure and perpetration. Additionally concerning is the high rate of victim-blaming attitudes and lack of responsibility and accountability among people who sexually offend. I am struck by the consistency between unhealthy messages and attitudes and sexual violence behaviors.
Study conclusions reference bystander intervention, school-based education, and sexual health providers as assets to prevention efforts and opportunities to interrupt repeat offenders. It's a lot to digest, but I am pondering the role of healthy sexuality in impacting our youth. To me the data confirms that early adolescence and sooner is an imperative time to reach youth, and we can't miss the opportunity to share healthy messages, challenge negative behaviors and provide accurate, age-appropriate information.

Emma Watson Is the Latest Star to Get Waxed (At Madame Tussauds, Of Course)
'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson is the most recent addition to London's Madame Tussauds wax museum. Take a look at the figure here!
-Lucia Peters
Ever dreamed of having the chance to meet Emma Watson? Well, now you can—or at least, you can make it look like you did!
Yesterday, the Harry Potter star became the most recent addition to the London branch of Madame Tussauds wax museum. Said Madame Tussauds spokesperson Nicole Fenner about the new figure, "Emma has been one of the most requested wax figurines for a while now, along with One Direction. People really want to see her as she is now. Since Harry Potter, her popularity has increased on an international scale. We have people from all over the world asking for her. Interest in her is only going to escalate." Emma's wax likeness is posed sitting on a sofa against a sparkly background; she (it?) wears a black Elie Saab dress with a cut-out back. Here's a shot of Emma in real life wearing the same dress—you know, for science:
Read Emma Watson Goes (Gasp!) Nude – But for a Very Good Cause
What went into making the figure? Well, for starters, it took four months to do. A research team provided sculptor Alex Carlisle with a mixture of red carpet shots, both front and back, and recent film stills; he was also briefed on what the figure would be wearing and how it should be posed. Apparently, they chose the Elie Saab dress because it captured Emma's "playful and fun" nature.
"The biggest challenge is recreating her expression, that sparkle," said Carlisle. "It was important to have her looking beautiful. She has a lovely feel to her, so we had to find the right references. She has to be the correct size and height for it to look authentic."
Emma's Harry Potter costar Daniel Radcliffe was added to Madame Tussauds in 2007. How long do you think it will be before Rupert Grint joins the two of them, rounding out the magical trio?
Oh, and just in case you're as in love with the statue's outfit as we are, here's a lookalike ensemble for you to steal:
Aidan Mattox strapless lace trim taffeta dress ($220, shop.nordstrom.com), black cutout bow skinny belt ($11, dorothyperkins.com), Classique Entier 'Regan' pump ($109.95, shop.nordstrom.com), 14K white gold cable chain with white pearls ($205, b2cjewels.com).

Pantene AgeDefy Advanced Thickening Treatment Reviews
My hubby loves this!My dear, sweet husband is starting to see some thinning of the hair on the top of his head and it's really bothering him. So I thought this new line of Expert products from Pantene might be good for him to try. I just replaced his usual shampoo and conditioner in the shower with it and after his first use he said "OK, what's the new stuff you've got me using? Look how much better my hair looks!...read more" Now that he's been using them and the serum daily for a couple of weeks he's even happier with how it's working and I have to agree that his hair actually looks noticeably healthier and a little thicker! It's tamed the slight frizziness he would get from time to time and it's got some shine back to it. He usually won't use serums because they tend to weigh down his hair. But this serum gives him some instant results by making his hair look fuller but also seems to be working better the more and more he uses it. The instant gratification makes him sure to keep using it every day. So, if my darling, but skeptical and picky hubby is loving this stuff it has to be great! Think I will be buying my own trio of these new products to use since I too am noticing some thinning (we're both only in our early 40's) and I wouldn't dare take his away from him. Think I'll even go as far as buying two more sets so neither of us risk running out.

My Reasons for Reporting This

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/12/2012 (1719 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If a new report on alcohol sales is to be believed, a lot of you are probably in need of a new bottle opener or corkscrew.
According to the Bank of Montreal, 2012 is shaping up as the best year ever in terms of liquor sales both in Manitoba and across Canada.
It's not that people are drinking more -- they're spending more on the bottles they're buying. Aaron Goertzen, an economist with the Toronto-based bank, said the ongoing improvement in the Canadian economy and rising consumer incomes are altering spending habits in liquor and beer stores.
"People are feeling more confident. All of that makes them more likely to buy a nicer bottle of wine or scotch," he said.
"They're shifting to more expensive products, which has big benefits to the retailers and producers -- revenue growth, plain and simple."
BMO's findings are no surprise to Tom Bima, general manager of the Winehouse, one of the city's private wine stores.
His customers spend an average of $17 per bottle of wine but over the past 12 months, he's noticed they're often super-sizing their purchases with 1.5- and three-litre bottles.
"There's a little more money out there now. Last year, people were spending $50 on three bottles of wine, now they're spending the same amount of money on two bottles," Bima said.
Sales of wine, beer and spirits typically surge in December -- more than 40 per cent above the monthly average -- making it the highest volume sales month, BMO said. By comparison, the retail sector is up 15 to 20 per cent from holiday shopping.
Last December, the average Canadian adult spent slightly more than $85 on alcohol, with approximately one-third of that going to Canadian-produced wines.
That's consistent with the trend over the last decade or so that has seen increased wine consumption. That poses a challenge to breweries and distillers, Bima said.
"We think of ourselves as a beer-drinking country but we're shifting more towards wine," Bima said.
The MLCC is seeing much the same picture as BMO. Spokeswoman Susan Harrison said year-over-year sales to the end of November are up both in volume and dollar value.
She said for the past few years, sales of premium products have increased during the Christmas season.
"We attribute that to people liking to treat themselves and their families during the holidays," she said.
This is especially true with beer, she said, as MLCC figures show people moving increasingly to more craft and premium lagers and ales.
The opening of the first Liquor Mart Express on Pembina Highway earlier this week doesn't faze Bima. In fact, he said he doesn't see the liquor store in a grocery store as a competitor but more as a means to grow the liquor pie.
"I'm all for introducing more Winnipeggers to the responsible consumption of fun beverages. If Safeway's (liquor store) introduces somebody new to wine, eventually they'll come over to us," he said.
"I need more people educated and aware that wine is fun and it goes well with dinner. When used in moderation and responsibly, it can be a great addition to your day."

The multi-platinum selling and reigning two-time CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year Miranda Lambert is 'On Fire' with her recently released Gold certified album "Four The Record" and her hot headlining tour "On Fire." Her current single is the powerful, "Over You," written by Miranda and Blake. Upon its release, Four The Record made history when it debuted atop Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, making Miranda the first country artist in the 47-year history of the chart to have each of her first four albums debut at # 1. Four The Record, garnered rave reviews from the press and ended 2011 on many Album of the Year lists including Rolling Stone, USA Today, People Magazine, American Songwriter, The Houston Chronicle and many others. In fact, Rolling Stone called it "…her most easeful and assured effort yet," and added the song "Mama's Broken Heart" to their Singles of the Year list.
Blake Shelton is one of the "most versatile of contemporary country singers" (The New York Times). The reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year for the second consecutive year recently celebrated three GRAMMY® nominations and a three-week No. 1 hit with his song, "God Gave Me You." The single is off his release, Red River Blue and marks Shelton's fifth consecutive No. 1. Red River Blue debuted at No. 1 on the Soundscan Top Current Albums chart and Soundscan Top Country Albums chart with the Associated Press calling the album "the best album of his career." Shelton's infectious multi-week No.1 hit, "Honey Bee" is also off Red River Blue and is his first ever digital Platinum single. He holds the record for the fastest-selling digital Platinum single for a male country solo artist. The single held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Country chart for four weeks in a row with over 40 million in audience. No country artist has held this record in almost six years. Shelton has ten No. 1 hits and has not had a single peak outside the Top Ten since 2007. Shelton is currently one of the musician coaches on NBC's "The Voice" along with superstars Christian Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine.

The Detroit Lions started the season so poorly — losing their first five games — there was talk about whether they could become the second team in franchise and NFL history to go 0-16.
Just before falling to 1-7, the Lions fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and promoted Jim Bob Cooter to replace him.
Team owner Martha Firestone Ford, unlike her late husband, didn't wait to make major changes. She shook up the franchise by firing team president Tom Lewand and general manager Martin Mayhew during the bye week.
And suddenly, Detroit has played like the team that won 11 games last season and made it to the playoffs. The Lions (4-7) have won three straight since the front office was overhauled and are being mentioned as a team in the playoff picture.
Cornerback Darius Slay said he saw a graphic, showing the Lions as a team in the hunt for a spot in the postseason.
"It shows we're a great team, just something happened," Slay said. "Right now, it's kind of flipped at the right time."
After starting 6-0, the Green Bay Packers (7-4) have stumbled into second place behind Minnesota (8-3) in the NFC North.
"Losing four out of our last five leaves a bad taste in your mouth," Packers guard T.J. Lang said.

The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport's General Aviation Terminal has achieved a LEED GOLD certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program (LEED) points based ratings system is used to determine the level of certification given to each new constructions project. GSP's General Aviation Terminal has acquired 40 LEED points to reach Gold status. These points were accumulated in the following way;
· The building uses 38% less energy overall than similar sized buildings
· The building uses 75.2% less water – A Rain Harvest System is used to collect rainwater from the roof for toilet flushing
· A Solar Water Heating System provides hot water
· Variable Refrigerant Flow Technology is used for super high efficient
heating and cooling
· Multiple glass panels eliminate the use of electrical lights during daylight hours
· 98% of the waste generated during construction was recycled
Jeff Ross-Bain of Ross-Bain Green Building said, "Ten years ago no one was thinking about becoming 'green', so becoming LEED certified is really an indication of a mindset shift of any organization obtaining it. I really applaud GSP for understanding the value of being environmentally conscious."
"By using less energy, LEED –certified buildings like our General Aviation terminal reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to a healthier environment for airport employees and the larger community. The bottom line is LEED-certified buildings save money," said GSP Executive Director Dave Edwards.

MINNEAPOLIS - Tied 1-1, the Tigers will look to get the series win over the Minnesota Twins Sunday afternoon at Target Field. First pitch is at 2:10 p.m.
On Saturday, Tigers' Anibal Sanchez return to the the mound didn't go as planned as the Twins got the best of him in 3+ innings. The Twins went on to win it 6-3.
Trevor Plouffe had three hits, including a two-run homer, in his return to the Twins lineup, and Sam Deduno held Detroit in check over seven innings in Minnesota's 6-3 victory over the Tigers Saturday night.
Plouffe, back after missing 22 games because of a concussion and left calf strain, was a triple shy of the cycle. He drove in three runs in support of Deduno, who has allowed only five earned runs in his last five starts.
Jhonny Peralta gave Detroit a brief lead with a two-run single in the top of the 4th.
The Tigers failed to score two other runs when Don Kelly was thrown out at the plate in the third by Minnesota's shortstop on a ground ball hit by Alex Avila.
Prince Fielder was tagged out at home while trying to score on a single by Kelly in the 6th.
Deduno (3-1) gave up two runs and seven hits to win his third straight decision for the Twins since being recalled in May. Glen Perkins added his 16th save in 18 chances.
After missing his previous start with shoulder stiffness, Anibal Sanchez struggled with pitch location and only lasted 3 2-3 innings for Detroit. Darin Downs (0-2) gave up three runs and five hits in relief of Sanchez, and took the loss.

It works (prints "Correct!" and exits) if I type in '1' and press enter. However, when I type in 'apples' (for example, or any other fruit) it doesn't work and the loop repeats asking "Enter a fruit:".
It obviously works when i replace
- Code: Select all
if fru in [fruits, '1']
- Code: Select all
if fru in fruits or fru=='1'
Here is my code -
- Code: Select all
from sys import exit
fruits = ['apples','oranges','bananas','mangos','strawberries']
def checkfruit():
fru = raw_input("Enter a fruit: ")
if fru in [fruits, '1']:
print "Correct!"
Any help would be appreciated! I couldn't find "in" anywhere in Python docs, or maybe I didn't check them correctly. Just started with python yesterday hehe.

Good morning all,
Today is my two year
YEA!!!! You go girl! Don't ever feel guilty about beating this monster. I used to feel that way when posting about Teddy's success so far. I have now come to realize it gives everyone such hope to hear success stories. You have worked long and hard to tell this story. Keep up the good news and we are so very happy for you!
Yes, I agree with Lainy, this type of news is what gets us through, knowing that someone is winning this fight. And this is a guilt-free zone, you are among friends and we want to celebrate this milestone with you! There oughta be cake!
I am glad to hear that on most days you don't allow this to get in your way, though I know that must be difficult to do.
take care of yourself,
Hi Sue - Be glad! It is a wonderful amazing thing you are beating it.
How often do you have a CT & MRI, and what blood test(s) are your doctors using to detect any reaccurance?
Keep fighting!
Hi Sue,
Congratulations. No need for guilt or shame. I have to agree. There is so much sadness & pain on this site that it is always good to log on & see good news. I too am glad that you can put aside the fear of a reacurrance and live your life. Keep up the good work. I am hoping that everything keeps looking good for you. Cake would be good, too!
Sue - Woo-hoo!
We love to hear good news. It gives us hope.
Congratulations and best of luck.
Sue......... Your good news is like hope flowing freely through the air sprinkling cure dust on some of us and just maybe the next whirl wind will pick up some more and sprinkle again passing, along some more good news. Like I've always said hope is in the air and you just never Know.
Bless your sweet heart!
Jeff G.
What wonderful news! I am so happy for you. You give others hope, please don't ever feel guilty. You are blessed.
Sue.....never guilt - just pure joy. I am so happy for you and I would like to thank you for making my day a bit brighter.
I'm so very glad to hear your good news! Two years really is something to be celebrated...I hope you did something special to mark this day.
I know what you mean about posting with good news...I have felt that. But, I think no matter what I was going through, I would be so glad to hear that someone was beating this. So, I wouldn't feel guilty! It is wonderful to hear and cheered up my whole day after reading your news this morning.
I will have my 10 month CT scan at the end of March and I hope that each of us will have only very good news to report!
I am just so happy for you Sue! Keep the good news coming!!!
Hi Sue,
Such wonderful news - it does make the rest of us feel good, too. Two years is quite a milestone. We need uplifting news, and rejoice with you. Darla is right - cake - and ice cream - would be in order!
Joyce C.
Thank you all for your great words. I am always hesitant to post on here, but you guys ALWAYS make me feel better. If i can bring hope to just one person, then my day is complete! I didn't do much to celebrate, but my husband came home and gave me a big hug and told me "Happy Anniversary to US!" He said he didn't know what he would have done without me for the last two years. That was as good as cake and ice cream!
Suzanne-I still get my scans every 6 months, and hopefully that will last another year. I am still not completely sure I am ready to go to once a year. They always do an abdominal/pelvic CT with contrast, sometimes a dual or triple phase, if that makes sense. On the bloodwork, they always test all my liver functions, do a complete CBC and a CA19-9.
I also have chronic kidney failure (stage 3) and my nephrologist does bloodwork every three months to test my renal levels. The surgery dropped me from 51% function to 40%, but I am maintaining that. Because of the results of my last renal panel, I am now on iron, potassium, vitamin D and something called Zemplar for raised parathyroid levels. All this has to do with my kidneys primarily, not my liver, but I am starting to feel like I'm 100 years old! I already take meds for high blood pressure and reflux...I feel like a walking medicine cabinet!!!
Thanks for all your good words. Sorry for such a long post. You guys really brighten up my life!
Take care,
Great news! It does indeed give us all hope when someone is succeeding at beating this!

Kiss Manager Doc McGhee Blasts Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Passengers on board the recent Kiss Kruise had a chance to lob a few questions at the legendary band's manager last month, and inevitably their exclusion from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame came up. Doc McGhee didn't dance around the subject. If the band is nominated for 2013 it won't be because he's saying all the right things.

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
World Vision Micro is unique because the loan capital remains in the community. Unlike other lending programs, we request donations rather than loans. So when donors provide a tax deductible donation to fund an entrepreneur's loan, the capital funds not only the initial loan, but is available for future loans in an ongoing and sustainable way. It's a ripple effect. Once a loan is repaid, the funds are used to help another hardworking entrepreneur in the same community. And so on. And so on.
When entrepreneurs establish and expand their businesses, not only do they help themselves, but they help their fellow neighbors by creating new jobs. When businesses expand, more members of the community are employed, and more families have the opportunity to escape poverty.
When there's more capital in the community, there can be improvements to things such as roads, buildings, schools, and water resources. Reinvigorating the basics can drive people to continue improving their surrounding conditions. New roads enable easier access to markets, schools educate children, and clean water keeps everyone healthy. It's how World Vision can empower communities to become sustainable.
By giving families the tools they need to succeed, they become healthier and have greater incomes. Improved incomes allow families to invest in clean water, nutritious food, better medicine, and education for children. And this benefits the entire community. It gives hardworking people the opportunity to move from dependence on aid to financial self-sustainability. It creates confidence and pride. It provides a brighter future for children. Repay. Recycle. Restore – that's the circle. And this is how World Vision can empower communities and break the cycle of poverty.

Contact Information
DeGraff Memorial Hospital
Department of Surgery
445 Tremont Street
North Tonawanda, NY 14120
- (716) 690-2060
- Map & Directions
Anesthesiologists are physicians responsible for the planning, coordination and administration of anesthesia during surgical procedures. They also are in charge of maintaining patient life support. Anesthesiologists are available at DeGraff 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
About Anesthesia
Anesthesia is a series of medications and procedures which keep patients comfortable during procedures and is administered at DeGraff by highly trained physicians specializing in anesthesiology.
Types of anesthesia include:
General Anesthesia
Patients are totally asleep and unaware of surroundings. It is administered by an intravenous injection through a thin tube in the arm and inhaled gases.
Regional Anesthesia
Regional anesthesia numbs certain areas of the body so that pain is not felt. Additional relaxation medications may also be given.
Monitored Sedation
Monitored sedation keeps patients relaxed and comfortable. Patients remain awake and aware of their surroundings throughout the procedure. Some, however, may be drowsy or in a light sleep.
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia affects only the area involved in the procedure. It may be used in combination with sedation.
Epidural Anesthesia
A type of regional anesthesia primarily used for lower pelvic surgery, epidurals can also be used with a general anesthesia. This service is commonly used for labor and delivery. Occasionally, epidurals are used for post-op and pain management surgery.
Spinal Anesthesia
Similar to epidural anesthesia, this anesthesia is also used for surgery on the lower body beginning with the hip. As an example, spinal anesthesia is frequently used for hip replacement surgery.

Organic Hemp Linen Boxer Shorts Elastic-free Underwear
Now I'm not typically a huge fan of boxers on boys (too loose! too unsexy!), BUT these organic, hemp boxers from Rawganique are just too green to go unnoticed. Super soft and comfortable, elastic-free (with a little drawstring), and come in a bunch of cool colors. I'll make an exception just this once!

Extra cash needed for Park&Ride expansion
11:24am Tuesday 1st January 2013
By Press reporter
11:24am Tuesday 1st January 2013
By Press reporter
CITY leaders are to be asked to earmark up to £750,000 more in possible funding for a York congestion-busting project after contractors' costs rose.
The additional contingency cash is needed after City of York Council learned the bill for dealing with ground conditions for a new Park&Ride site at Askham Bar – one of two which are to be built under the first phase of the £22.7 million Access York scheme – is higher than originally expected. If agreed by the cabinet, any extra funding would come from the council's economic infrastructure fund. Richard Wood, pictured, assistant director for transport, said the rise in estimated costs came after an initial investigation of the land and its previous use as a landfill site, but the council would look to reduce costs in other areas of the project.
The Askham Bar site will be a larger replacement for the current Park&Ride. A new site is also being built on the A59 near Poppleton.
Tenders for the construction work have been received and assessed by the council and documentation will now be sent to the Department for Transport. If approved, work can start in March with the aim of being completed in April 2014.
Coun Dave Merrett, cabinet member for transport, said: "Access York is critical for the future economic prosperity and environmental wellbeing of the city, and represents one of the largest single investments in York's transport infrastructure since the northern ring road was built."

News & Events
On a recent Saturday, when the student members of the honors fall book club met to discuss Ben Mezrich's Bringing Down the House: Six M.I.T Students who Took Vegas for Millions, they had no idea what was in store.
The five facilitators and 90 students who gathered in the Burnell Atrium to discuss casino-related topics were greeted by none other than Massachusetts Gaming Commissioner and BSU alumna Gayle Cameron, '78. The commissioner discussed her job, the gaming industry, and told the students about the potential locations in Massachusetts for a future casino. These were Raynham, East Boston, Palmer, Springfield, Milford, Plainville, and Everett.
Senior Samantha Defilippe enjoyed Ms. Cameron's discussion. "She presented casinos in an entertaining way," she said.
Freshman Joe Costa added: "She was very intelligent and she brought light to the responsibilities of the gaming commission."
The book club is offered as part of the BSU Honors Program, which offers incentives and resources to enable students to achieve their highest potential as scholars and campus leaders. The Honors Program is located in the Academic Achievement Center on the ground floor of the Maxwell Library. Call 508-531-1378 for more information.

Wine setup
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
Installing Wine can be as simple as selecting it in Synaptic. It is in the default repositories, though the version is often a lot older.
If you want a more up to date version of Wine, add the MEPIS Community repository to your apt sources and install with Synaptic (preferred method), or install the newest Wine debs from WineHQ.
You can get latest WINE version from the WineHQ sources rather than from the default repos (this will ensure you have the latest version):
- Open a root konsole
- Add the signing key, for security:
- If you are running MEPIS 8.x
wget -O - http://www.lamaresh.net/apt/key.gpg | apt-key add -
- If you are running MEPIS 7.x or 6.x
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
- Add the repository:
- If you are running MEPIS 8.x, copy and paste in this command:
echo "deb http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
- If you are running MEPIS 7.x, copy and paste in this command:
wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/etch.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
- If you are running MEPIS 6.x, copy and paste in this command:
wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/dapper.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
- Close konsole and then open Synaptic
- Refresh sources, by clicking on the Reload button.
- Search for wine. There may be a list of files called 'wine' or containing the word 'wine'. Scroll down until you find the wine file (hint – it's only called wine). Highlight it. Now choose (from top menu) Package > Force Version. A window will open with a drop down box. Choose the latest version (hint – it should show winehq somewhere in the version information. Click apply to install.
- After installation, close Synaptic, and from a konsole, type: winecfg. If installed successfully, a window will start with the Wine configuration utility.
winetricks is a script written by Dan Kegel which can help you install a variety of free and non-free software to help wine function better. Download the script by right-clicking on the link and selecting "save link as...". Then run it in a console with the command:
sh winetricks
This will give you a list of things you can install with winetricks.
Configuring and Using WINE
After you have installed WINE you will need to configure it by entering the command
winecfg sets up a folder in your home directory called ".wine/" which contains some configuration files and a virtual "C drive". This GUI program will also allow you to make some additional tweaks, such as mapping additional drive letters, configuring video and audio options, or selecting the version of windows to emulate (all of which can be done on a per-program basis).
Once you have done this, you can start a Windows program like this:
1. Put program install CD in your drive
2. Right click CD icon in your desktop and select "mount"
3. Once CD mounted, click the icon and you should get a konqueror window with /media/cdrom already in the main pane - displaying the contents of the CD. Have a look and locate the normal install file for windows (often "install.exe" or "setup.exe")
4. F4 in Konqueror will start a konsole (terminal) window in the /media/cdrom directory
5. Type
wine progname.exe
where progname is the install file name. Make sure you have uppercase / lowercase correct, and include the extension ".exe" or ".bat" etc.
6. With luck, the installer should start just as if windows was operating.
For a more detailed explanation of how to install programs, run, and uninstall programs using Wine (as well as creating desktop short-cuts), go to the How_To_Use_Wine page
Tips and Tweaks
Fix the Terrible Looking Fonts
Copy and paste the following text into a new text file and name it fontsmooth.reg
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothing"="2" "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002 "FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578 "FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001
Then open a terminal in the same folder as fontsmooth.reg and execute:
regedit fontsmooth.reg
In winecfg, in the Desktop Integration tab, under Themes, you can also choose different fonts for certain window elements.
Install Windows installer
Now, you want to install Windows installer. Installer 2 will do fine if you install it under the Windows 98 emulation. Note that you may only install this if you have a valid license of Windows. Get it from here:
If you run that in Wine and nothing happens, run winecfg and make sure you've set it to emulate Windows 98 by default. The installer won't run if you're in 2000 or XP mode.
You can also install it using winetricks with the command:
sh winetricks msi2
Install Microsoft fonts
Get the Microsoft core fonts, otherwise Wine windows might be unreadable. It's in the repositories, just install the package msttcorefonts. Since you are there install fontforge package too.
You can also install corefonts through winetricks:
sh winetricks corefonts
Another approach to installing IE is to download ies4linux. This simple script automatically installs IE on your machine under WINE (you need to have WINE installed first). To get it, enter the following commands into a (non-root) konsole:
wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz cd ies4linux-* ./ies4linux
- Remember that WINE configurations are per-user, which means that if you set up WINE and install Windows software as one user, the programs will not be available to other users. They will need to set up WINE and install the programs individually.
- With all due respect to the Wine developers, do not expect miracles from Wine. A lot of Windows programs work really well under Wine, however it pays to check the Winehq compatibility database before trying to install a program. This site often has pointers on how to install certain programs, dlls or patches required, and if it runs well / erratically / or not at all under the Wine environment.
- Don't be surprised if you experience erratic behavior, failure to start, or failure to install. And don't expect immediate compatibility with the latest Windows games / programs. Wine often works best with older (more established) and more popular Windows applications.
- If you have Windows installed on a second partition, and mount that partition and try to run programs installed there with WINE, it generally does not work. You usually need to reinstall the programs in WINE so that the proper registry entries and DLL files can be present in the WINE install.
