Villanova's Fisher Price Toys With Some FoolsPosted by rtmsf on August 10th, 2010
Villanova rising senior Corey Fisher put on a summer league shooting exhibition in the Bronx over the weekend that will result in a bright red bullseye on his back among Big East scouting reports this coming season. The 6'1 guard from the Boogie Down must have eaten his Wheaties on Saturday, because reports from the Watson Gleason playground league are that Fisher blew up for a ridiculous 105 points on that warm summer evening. Read that again. One hundred and five points. His team scored 138 total, and Fisher responded to double- and triple-teams in the second stanza by simply dropping a 72-point bomb on his summer league opponents. A player who knocked down a grand total of 38 three-pointers last season nailed 23 (of 28) in this game, begging the question of whether RTC's very own John Stevens got loose from the chains in his crypt and found himself standing opposite Fisher in NYC last weekend. (ed. note: his primary defender was actually someone named Jose Calderon Not the NBA player, undoubtedly someone who can no longer show his face above 155th Street)
When we first heard of this story, we immediately thought back to some of the other legendary summer playground tales that we'd heard over the years. A 160-lb soaking wet Allen Iverson dunking over the entire front line at the ABCD camp back in 1993… a 15- year old Skip 2 My Lou dancing his way through defenders at Harlem's Rucker Park… a random dude in jeans named Stuart Tanner clowning Devin Harris through the legs… an unknown Indiana transfer named Jordan Crawford dunking over near LeBron and the subsequent cover-up… hey, we love this stuff.
Someone else who is probably loving this story is VU's head coach Jay Wright. Needing someone to fill in for the enormous void that the graduation of team leader Scottie Reynolds presents, Fisher and backcourt mate Corey Stokes will be expected to pick up the slack on the perimeter. Fisher has the chops to become a big-time scorer at the guard position (he averaged 13.3 PPG last year), and it's clear that performances such as these — even in the relatively small-time of NYC streetball summer league — will only help his confidence when winter arrives. Now, if we could just figure out where Calderon is playing next week… we might just call "next" if he's still in.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Gov. Nikki Haley has signed into law a measure that prevents a repeat of last year's legal mess that kicked hundreds of candidates off primary ballots.
Haley praised the law during a ceremony Wednesday as streamlining the ballot process as well as giving equal access to the ballot for both incumbents and those seeking office. The Republican governor officially signed the measure last Thursday.
Last year, about 250 candidates statewide were tossed off primary ballots following back-to-back decisions from the state Supreme Court on incorrectly filed paperwork. Legislators in both parties and chambers called fixing the mess a priority for this session.
The law synchronizes the candidate filing process for incumbents and challengers. It also allows those who don't file properly to pay a fine and remain on the ballot.

I can not contribute much at all but Seaside made a good thing that relates to this:
To make it under 100 MB and this
Automatic 'personal storage file growth'/movement into a swap file
He added to his SFS-exec a SFS-exec-pupsave so that one only add to the pupsave when one are sure that one want to add to it. So the pupsave file is turned into a sfs file that is loaded and only added to when one click on save to pupsave button.
that way one can let puppy be very modular and portable and flexible in what it has loaded at boot. All big progs should be made into sfs that one chose when needed. His sfs loader works almost instantly which the others don't. Yes he should have more fail check but this latest version seems to add to the security too.
Very handy. Works now on Puppy 431 and it's derivates.

not an ideal solution though

yes, you are correct...
It was 4 series that was T2..
3 was slackware 12....
So, cool, even better...
3.01 was very stable and strong on dependencies...
Looking forward...

Igu I was deeply disappointed that I just missed you and Mick on IRC yesterday.
I also missed Jay (Puppyluvr) and many other potential team members - my apologies. I am lucky if I can remember where I last placed my own head.
Please bear with us. Mick wishes to assemble a team before taking on 5.3. It is important to understand how much work Larry put into Lucid. Only Warren who did two previous Puppys and those working so hard for the community have any idea of the work involved. Work that Barry did for years.
However also what fun. Remember Nooby has moved from newbie status to one of our most prolific testers. Anyone can test and that is very time consuming too

Count me in. I can do some small stuff ... when time is precious, I do less but think more. I can contribute ideas and creativity ... maybe some packages and code too, if I find enough time.
At the moment I'm working on a tweaked T2 that I intend to use for Calf GNU/Linux 005, my next build. This time I also want to experiment with Woof and Calf packages, I want to build a Puppy from Calf's packages, a plain tpup. I'll upload all sources, packages, my tweaked T2, the vanilla T2 and a patch with my changes, so people can use it to build tpups or maybe some experimental builds of 6.0.
Regarding 5.3 (or 6.0), the features I'm thinking about are:
- Kernel 2.6.38, it seems very stable and .39 won't be very exciting.
- XZ compression for SFSs (good for size), with support for LZO (GREAT for "lite" or "retro" versions, very fast) and gzip (backwards compatibility, balance between size and speed, good for "normal" versions).
- Locales and documentation in separate SFSs, a-la devx. Woof does not detect (or deal with) packages that were not splitted (i.e with the documentation and locales inside them), so each Woof build has some fat - that's something Barry needs to deal with.
- xdg-user-dirs with Desktop disabled (
), time to get modern
- LXTask, LXRandR
- xbindkeys and xbindkeys-config, with bindings for xlockmore, LXTask and rxvt-unicode
- xarchiver, because xarchive is ancient and buggy (XZ support, the bzip2 bug ttuuxxx found, etc')
- volumeicon and some mixer instead of retrovol, because the latter is heavy and volumeicon is AWESOME (you can find the sources of the hacked one I made for Calf
). The package is 14K as far as I remember, compared to 29K of the vanilla volumeicon
Well, some of these sound weird and they're not acceptable for 5.x (e.g kernel upgrade), but after all, Puppy and Woof are the reason I develop Calf Linux and Moo, they're just an experiment. Puppy is my true love and I want 6.x to be the french revolution of live distros: innovative, simple, fast, clean, TOP NOTCH in any aspect and the best distro in the galaxy

Slack base? Hmm, sounds good I might help with testing since I wasn't much involved in lupu dev.
Just point me to development/testing thread once it launches.

There's already a couple totally unofficial, extremely experimental isos using 22.214.171.124 out in the wild.
Pemasu released Ice Puppy 001, based on Lucid, and I just posted an Spup.... both with 126.96.36.199. It does seem like a really solid kernel.

Hi guys
time to break my silence.
It's kind of weird that people would actually want me to head up a puppy release. After all, I have no computer background apart from being a general user for about 12 years and a Linux user for the last 10. That said, I'm no stranger around here and I'm no stranger to the woof build system.
I have produced many builds from woof with varying success. The latest is
Spup - "Elephant Rock"
which has a little band of followers and has proved relatively stable with limited testing. I also helped
with XO-pup for the OLPC xo-1 and xo-1.5 laptops. Of course most here know that I made about 2000 posts in the Pwidgets thread
, about 10% of those useful! As I type, spup-100 (the final in the slack puppy based on 13.1) is building in woof, should be ready today or tomorrow. You can use it as kind of a preview.
What I envision is a stable puppy based on the latest Slackware-13.37 (due any day now) optimised for size and speed which can run on an old clunker (say a p3 600, 256 RAM) and the latest 64 bit arch machines, while supporting a wide range of internal and peripheral hardware.. So that means 2 branches of development. I see plenty of talk about ARM and tablets but this is a bit out of my league and there is plenty of life yet in the x86 arch and the x86_64. However, the primary focus will be on the current x86 arch, the x86_64 development will depend alot on my time and other devs' interest.
We must remember, playdayz set a very high benchmark with a great puppy that has a well stocked repo of sfs and pets. That will be a challenging act to follow. I guess I have the advantage of being tightly involved in Lupu dev and also that slack Puppy has been done before with puppy 3 series. There are actually quite a few scripts in Puppy that Barry has adapted directly from Patrick Volkerding's (sklackware BD) work.
So, how do
build this? I would like to think we can organise a bit of a core team. Obviously Lobster Ed is in charge of promotions... even when things aren't yet decided
.. I guess he has that time machine going and hasn't shared the secret yet! I would like to see some people get compiling (of course when the core is ready
), in an organised kind of way, just to save doubling up on work (ttuuxxx, Billtoo, technosaurus, anyone who likes to compile stuff!). I'd like to see exactly what
has acheived (translation wise) with Lupq and Quickset Wary, again, we want to reach as many corners of the globe as possible and if something has been done then why redo it? Maybe, shinobar would like to work with us and save having his international version at all. What say you shinobar?
Of course artwork is up for grabs! I want this to be fun! I would still like to stay with JWM but some have grown fond of openbox/fbpanel. Should we have both? Of course I'd like builtin support for other Wms/DEs like in lupu.
It was suggested somewhere in the lupu thread that perhaps we should set up a bug tracker. ok, how's that done? Anyone know? How do we publicise it? (If this comes to fruition).
I really want to draw on peoples strengths. Here's a thought I had. Joe (
) seriously dislikes the woof build system. That's fine by me. He likes the set standards and working to them and in some ways I tend to agree. However woof is Barry's baby and that's the direction he wants Puppy to take. I like woof. It may not be proper to congeal together a bunch of packages from another distro and force them to work with Puppy scripts but as long as there is no dependency mismatches it seems to work a treat. I'd like you to be there Joe just in case I have any curly Slack questions for you. Amigo too.
I'd also ask Warren (
) to be around... well I know you'll be around, just you might get the odd frustrated PM from me.. that's of course if all this goes ahead!
Of course, this needs Barry's stamp of approval. So there'll be nothing official until I have a few commitments and the BK seal.
Either way, as soon as Slack-13.37 goes stable I'll be building a woofed up spup and building a new kernel. Still undecided which way to go with the kernel. There have been good reports about the 2.6.38 series and it does have the advantage of
compression which has the potential for bringing down Puppy's size.. but at what cost? Methinks backward compatibility with a bunch of existing sfs. We'll see on that one, also xz will be a learning curve for me.
See what happens, eh?

As I get it you guys want it to work on 256MB of RAM. Then using the approach to have applications in sfs and only loading the app one need would be handy?
I have tested what Seaside came up wit hand sure it can have the downside that Shinobar pointed out to him but that is a something one can look into apart from that his latest solution is very practical and fast and if even I who is extremely clumsy and confused can use it then that means it is right on a very practical way of being modular and using sfs in a practical fast way. loading and unloading them and not having to wait for any menu entry or rebooting.
To protect the pupsave from getting corrupted he came up with that it never save until one want it to save.
1. That way one can experiment and regret a change and it will not add to the pupsave.
2. the downside is that one can lose what one wrote if it was supposed to be in pupsave and if some application crash by filling RAM and locking it up. The solution is to save such to the mnt/home instead often enoug to have it saved if somethign crash. Apart from that and seen from my newbie perspective it is a winner.
Sorry I now set this to not follow to not interfere in your dev things.
I just saw it as very important you all get aware of what a good thing he set up.

I'd be happy to contribute what I could, not sure what I would do. Maybe a few GUIs, make a few PETs, testing, etc...
Just thought I'd post my 2 cents while everything is still up the in the air... For the next Puppy, here's a few things I was thinking about:
- Firstly, I do not want us to jump the gun. Let Lucid lie for a while, other developments will come along with Wary, Quirky, etc, that we will want to have a look at.
- I do not want too many confusing, concurrent project names, like luci, lucid, lupu, saluki, etc
- I do not want two concurrent version numbers for each build (or any fork of) that gets made (6.0 already referred to as 5.3, above)...
- I want to see us start with 6.0 alpha1, then 6.0 alpha2, alpha 3.. then 6.0 beta1, beta2, beta3... then 6.0 RC1, RC2, RC3... Then Puppy 6.0! Then 6.1 alpha1, 6.1 alpha2, 6.1 beta1, 6.1 RC1, etc, then finally Puppy 6.1.... It's easy. for everyone this way, right?
- I do not want ANY menu entries for apps that work with only 1 specific WM! A JWM settings app in the menu, when we use XFCE, for example..
- If you put any items into the menu that require a specific WM, better make sure they are removed or hidden, if the WM is not in use.
The above 'issues' make following development harder for those with less knowledge and/or time.
- locales and stuff in separate SFS, easy installer of extra lcoales, linked with firstrun or something
- I want the vesa only Xorg (idea from Quirky) as standard - if it works nicely.
- I want under 100mb, or under 110mb or so, if possible. But with the zdrv_cutr and OTF SFS loading, we should really be talking about a starting size... Puppy should be VERY easy to grow or shrink as required!!
- I want conservative lib versions, where we can get away with it - to increase backward compatibility
- I want a zdrv, so I can reduce the modules needed later. Ttuuxxx posted on the BK blog some good ideas about going further than the 'zdrc_cutr'.
- I want technosaurus and goingnuts to look at making thigns less resource intensive as small and lightweight as possible.
- Ttuuxx and Barry K should be listened to about keeping compiled packages smaller - we should compile our apps whenever possible, not steal from ubuntu.
Features and Apps:
- RDP! working out of the box
_ also prefer xarchiver to xarchve
- I want a CLI package manager!
- I want OTF SFS loading
- I want a simple "dir2pet" type thing, that automatically separates and builds the pkg, and its DEV and NLS pets. Igu has done something abotu this already , I think...
- Knowing the exact names of the deps to include when building a PET is not easy. I want to have a tool that gives me a list, or choice, or helps me in some way!
- About security, MU posted a BASH script to generate random MAC addresess, this could be combined with my MAC-Changer GUI to give random MAC addresses at boot.. If anyone wanted it
- I want ALL of the PETswe make to install not only themselves but their deps as well - this is usually not the case (see above)
- I want my default-apps-chooser thing to be included (or similar).
- I want shinobars internationalisation and localisation work to be included as much as possible.
- I want only 1 menu entry to 'Set Wallpaper' or 'Edit Taskbar' (etc), NOT specific to a particular WM - load up some Puppy scripts that detect the WM and run the relevant wallpaper changer, or menu config, etc
- I want bigbass to look at the package management, see if we can make it more 'standard', and remove 'built ins' very easily.
- I want maybe an optional HUGE devx, including nearly everything we got, to make compiling stuff on Puppy as easy as on other distros. At least put src2pkg in the devx.
I know I don't know as much about any of this as most people, but thought I'd share my thoughts... As I contributed literally nothing to Lupu, except the Advert Blocker thing...

I liked the browser chooser, quick pet, and graphics driver lookup / installer from Lucid puppy - these are new user friendly and also got praise from reviewers.
How about a review of what applications to include - one app per task.
Being a fan of lighter version how about a more modular approach by including all the default applications is a separate .sfs - that way it would make it easy to build custom, specialized or updated .sfs and with sfs load on the fly it makes it easy to swap and change as and when what ever .sfs is needed.
things i don't like - the volume icon!!!! please we need a new volume icon.
Desktop icon clutter - this is easily fixed with wbar (think dpup) it cleans up the look of the desktop as well as adding a bit of eye candy.

Regarding package splitting ....
Fresh from the Calf GNU/Linux 005 oven, the magical, automatic package splitter. It uses "-exe", "-dev", "-doc" and "-nls" instead of the traditional Puppy suffixes, but I'm pretty sure it won't bother anyone.
It has two parameters:
- A directory containing a raw binary package (i.e a whole package)
- Redirection rules in Woof format: exe>exe,dev>dev,doc>doc,nls>nls. Change these to redirect certain parts of the package.
split_package /tmp/cups-1.4.5 "exe>exe,dev>dev,doc>exe,nls>nls"
This splits /tmp/cups-1.4.5 and moves all documentation to the EXE package.
# split_package: split a package to exe, dev, doc and nls
if [ ! -d $1 ]; then
echo "Usage: split_package [PACKAGE] [REDIRECTION]"
exit 1
echo "Splitting `basename $1`"
# the full path to the package
package_path=`realpath $1`
# the package name
package_name=`basename $package_path`
# the parent directory of the package
parent_dir=`dirname $package_path`
# default redirection
# parse redirection
for redirection in `echo $2 | sed s/,/" "/g`; do
redirection_source=`echo $redirection | cut -f 1 -d ">"`
redirection_target=`echo $redirection | cut -f 2 -d ">"`
case $redirection_source in
cd $package_path
for i in `find | grep /`; do
# check whether the file exists, in case it was moved already
if [ -e $i ]; then
file_name="`basename $i`"
case "$file_name" in
man|info) # if it's a directory named "man" or "info", move to doc
[ -d $i ] && suffix="$doc_redirection"
locale) # if it's a directory named "locale", move to nls
[ -d $i ] && suffix="$nls_redirection"
# verbosity, output the redirection for each redirected file
case "$suffix" in
echo " $file_name -> $suffix"
# detect the sub_directory inside the package
# add the suffix to the package name
# create the directory under the sub-package directory
mkdir -p $parent_dir/$subpackage_name/$sub_directory
# move to the sub-package
mv $i $parent_dir/$subpackage_name/$sub_directory
# get rid of empty directories in the main package
rmdir $sub_directory > /dev/null 2>&1
echo " $file_name -> null"
# detect the sub_directory inside the package
# delete the file
rm -rf $i > /dev/null 2>&1
# get rid of empty directories in the main package
rmdir $sub_directory > /dev/null 2>&1
unset suffix
case $exe_redirection in
echo "Redirecting exe to $exe_redirection"
mkdir -p $parent_dir/$package_name-$exe_redirection
cp -r $parent_dir/$package_name/* $parent_dir/$package_name-$exe_redirection
rm -rf $parent_dir/$package_name

Egypt's de facto strongman, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, resigned Wednesday from the military and announced his long-anticipated run for the presidency in an impassioned national address in which he called for his embattled nation to once again become a strong, regional power.
El-Sissi, who as the top general in his country's military led the July 3 ouster of President Mohammed Morsi and then named the transitional government that has ruled since, is all but certain to win the still unscheduled presidential election. Public opinion surveys show he is the country's most revered political figure. Under Egypt's constitution, military officers cannot run for office.
Wearing his military uniform, he said, "for the last time" and sitting at a desk, el-Sissi, whose last rank was field marshal, also resigned as defense minster.
Speaking in colloquial Arabic, understood by all Egyptians, regardless of education, his 15-minute speech was ripe with nationalistic language, a reprieve from the divisive, polarized rhetoric that has defined Egypt since Morsi's ouster. In subsequent violence and government crackdowns, hundreds of people have been killed and at least 16,000 arrested.
"With all due modesty, I announce my intention to run for presidency," el-Sissi said. "I stand in front of you now to give you a speech from the heart."
El-Sissi's speech seemed aimed at smoothing over the sharp divisions that have reigned here between supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the secretive organization that carried Morsi to the presidency in the country's first democratic presidential election, and the vast number of Egyptians who last summer clamored for Morsi's ouster.
He called for reconciliation for Islamists who have not been charged with crimes, even as he spoke of the country's continuing terrorism problem _ a hardly veiled reference to the Brotherhood, which has been outlawed.
"No exclusions, no polarization," he said. "I extend my hand to all at home and abroad, all those who have not been convicted."
He repeated three main points: the nation must create more jobs, it must improve its security and it must remember the importance of hope.
"I stand in front of you with all hope in your strong will to push the country back to the place it deserves," el-Sissi said.
At times, el-Sissi sought to present himself like Egypt's second and most celebrated military leader after the end of British rule in 1952, Col. Gamel Abdel Nasser, who elevated Egypt to a key state in the Arab world. El-Sissi said he hoped to "conquer terrorism, not only in Egypt but the region." And he, like Nasser, also rejected foreign intervention.
"Egypt is not a playground for any internal, regional or international party and will never be," he said.
El-Sissi said he would not spend an excessive amount on his campaign, saying it would not be appropriate, given Egypt's economic troubles. But it was clear he would not have to. Just minutes after his speech ended at 10 p.m., state television began showing documentaries celebrating his military career and contributions to the state, often with nationalist songs playing over images of el-Sissi and the nation's revered military forces.
El-Sissi repeatedly tried to downplay the idea that the military has controlled Egypt for more than six decades, even though, with the exception of Morsi, all of Egypt's presidents since Nasser have been retired military officers.
"It was neither the military nor political forces that got rid of the two former regimes," he said, referring to Morsi's ouster and the forced resignation after 18 days of demonstrations of President Hosni Mubarak. "It was the people."
El-Sissi's rapid rise to power flowed from Mubarak's ouster in 2011.
Now 59, el-Sissi graduated from the Egyptian Military Academy in 1977 and joined the infantry. But he had little combat experience during his career. Instead, he served in posts such as military attache in Saudi Arabia and chief-of-staff and then commander of Egypt's Northern Military Zone. In 2006, he studied at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pa., where he wrote a paper titled "Democracy in the Middle East," in which he argued that the United States' wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had undermined the likelihood of democracy taking root in the region.
In the last months of Mubarak's three-decade tenure, el-Sissi was head of military intelligence and reconnaissance. He stayed in that post during the military's first rule of the country immediately after Mubarak's fall.
In 2011, he became a controversial figure when he defended the military practice of virginity tests, saying they protected the woman and the soldier from false accusations. But he remained largely obscure until Morsi named him defense minister in August 2012. Less than a year later, he engineered Morsi's ouster.
From that moment on, he became a national presidential candidate front-runner and in the last few weeks signaled his intention to run. Earlier this month, he reshuffled key military positions, in what many said was an effort to lay the ground for his future administration.
The nation reacted with jubilation to his announcement, with supporters taking to the streets to celebrate. But it remains to be seen if el-Sissi can bridge the tensions that have dominated since Morsi's ouster. The government, with el-Sissi's blessing, has carried out a brutal crackdown on Morsi's supporters, jailed most of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, and replaced a Morsi-backed constitution with a new one.
An el-Sissi presidency will face a series of seemingly intractable problems. The nation's economy is in a free fall, with instability all but ending the tourism industry, once responsible for as many as a quarter of all jobs here. The nation's aggressive campaign against Islamists, including a military campaign in the Sinai, has created a new generation of budding insurgents, and assassinations of police have become an almost daily occurrence. Violent protests are common; earlier Wednesday a student died during protests at Cairo University.
Many also view skeptically the likelihood that the presidential elections will be fair, noting that el-Sissi ousted the first democratically elected leader in his country's history.
When those elections will be held was still uncertain. El-Sissi said only that voting for president will come before an election to choose a parliament, and the country's interim president, Adly Mansour, said the presidential balloting will take place before mid-July. Presidential candidates can begin formally submitting their names Sunday. So far only one person other than el-Sissi, longtime opposition leader Hamdeen Sabahi, has announced his intention to run.
Mansour named 1st Lt. Gen. Sedki Sobhi, el-Sissi's deputy, as the new head of the armed forces.
"I can't perform miracles but what I can promise is hard and selfless work if I am given the honor or leading," el-Sissi said.
Special correspondent Amina Ismail contributed to this report.

The Trainwreck star, 35, recalls the scary encounter in her new book The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo.
"He grabbed a huge butcher knife from a drawer. And that's when I was sure he was going to kill me," Amy wrote, according to a book extract obtained by People magazine.
She uses the experience to warn fellow females to watch out for violent men, adding, "It can happen to anyone. You're not alone if it's happening to you, and you're not exempt if it hasn't happened to you yet."
The comedienne also opens up about he relationship with her mother, Sandra, who had an affair with a family friend when she was 13.
In the book she reveals she used to idolise her mum but they have had a tense relationship for years, ever since Sandra owned up to her illicit romance with the father of Amy's best friend.
"We love each other and I'm really grateful to her and for her, but we'll never be how we were," she told USA Today. "I wrote that family is a constant negotiation so it's constantly evolving, but we'll never be close again."
In the memoir, which was released in the U.S. on Tuesday (16Aug16), Amy also goes into detail about her father's battle with multiple sclerosis and recalls her first sexual encounter.

Part I: Foundations
Trafficking in weapons is one of the criminal characteristics of the Obama regime. We have
suspected known that the Benghazi murders had something to do with American weapons delivered to Libyan rebels. But whether Ambassador Stevens was retrieving them, setting up a transfer of the same weapons to Syrian rebels via Turkey, was a target of a hostage plot, or had uncovered Obama's involvement and had to be eliminated –won't be known until the final layer is peeled off the onion.
Whatever the truth of this 'international fast and furious', the Benghazi terror had something to do with the 2012 election and keeping focus off Obama's ineligibility and performance. But the murder of four Americans almost blew the whole cover off the core weapons operation and necessitated the outright and overt theft of the 2012 election.
How did Al Queda in Benghazi get a 'smart bomb'? Was Obama afraid the stinger missiles he supplied them would be used to shoot down rescue aircraft, blowing his cover? Where did the Syrian rebels get SAMS?
The Mockingbird aspect of this has been the endless cover stories designed to scatter the focus…the film, a demonstration, terrorism, al queda or an off-shoot; the generals and clandestine affairs…the fake closed door hearing and feigned outrage…the blaming of Qatar…then crickets….oh the fiscal cliff, the punishment, banning, or retirement of the so-called conservatives… The number of generals dismissed and murders we don't know about could be large. Something big happened in Benghazi that caused a major 'change of plans'.
Gunrunner-Obama's team includes Eric
Holder Holdup–weapons dealing since 1993– Valerie Jarrett, Hillary Clinton, the CIA, Janet Napolitano, and Leon Panetta. They have stepped into the shoes and operations of those before them, with a suitcase full of tools, deceptions, poisons, weapons, money and drugs at their disposal.
Where did this all begin?
Consider this a Black Ops Open Thread.

Mac users are always quick to point out the benefits of their self-contained applications; one package to download, no installation procedures, easy to remove. While this seems ideal, there are many problems with the actual Mac OS X implementation of this idea. Applications in Mac OS X are generally not easy to remove at all, because they leave a trail of files around outside of
/Applications that normal users rarely encounter. Over the course of time, this can amount to quite the mess. In addition, Mac OS X provides no way of updating applications in a central way, resulting in each application in OS X having its own updater application; hardly the user-friendly and consistent image Apple tries to adhere to.
The Windows world is not much better off - in fact, it is probably worse. Not only does it have to deal with the same problems as OS X, it also has too deal with dreadful installers. Some of them are such usability disasters they make me want to curl up in foetal position and cry. And then, when I'm done crying, I can start all over again because the uninstallation procedure is just as dreadful.
This leaves us with the Linux world. They have the centralised, easy updating application - the update application in for instance Ubuntu is an excellent example of proper balance between providing enough technical information for experts, but still hiding all that fluff from normal users. However, Linux suffers from other problems. Dependency hell, while not nearly as huge a problem as it used to be, still exists to this day. Downloading a package outside of the repositories is a risky business, but it really shouldn't be. You are completely dependent on your distributor updating his repositories and keeping them clean - nothing is as annoying as knowing there is a new version of Super Awesome Garden Designer Ultimate Edition, only to realise all the distributions except yours already packaged it.
Basically, the proposal you're about to read will incorporate bits and pieces from all over the operating system world, but will also include some new ideas of my own. The goal of my proposal is to make the installation, updating, and uninstallation of applications as easy as possible, while at the same time providing features advanced users and developers might appreciate.
I started working on this proposal ages ago, and as I went along, I realised I needed to alter a lot of things about the operating system itself (most notably, the filesystem layout) before I could continue working on the proposal itself. Consequently, I have created a new filesystem layout, and most likely a new filesystem - as I am not sure to what extent existing filesystems can accommodate this plan. Consequently, this article starts out with detailing the privilege model required, followed by an explanation and breakdown of the filesystem layout I devised. It will then move on to the importance and benefits of using BFS-like attributes and queries for updating and maintaining applications, ending with a conclusion (I bet you didn't see that coming).
It might seem a little odd to start an article on a utopian method of managing applications with a section on privileges - and you're right, it is. The reason I'm starting with it anyway is because in my opinion, the privileges a user has is vital in the process of managing applications - or programs, as I will call them from now on (don't worry, this arbitrary decision will become clear). Don't pay an awful lot of attention to the names of the directories yet, I will explain those later on.
By default, a user has either User rights, or System rights. When in normal, day-to-day operation, the user and his programs/processes utilise User rights. This means the user and his programs can only write to their home directory (
/Users/User 1) and their settings directory (
/Settings/User 1). Write access to all other parts of the system is restricted - of course programs and processes may read contents in the restricted directories, but they may not write there. Consequently, installing and uninstalling applications requires the System password. User 1 may not read or write to files in other users' home and settings directories.
This is similar to other operating systems, and has the usual and understood benefits: processes and programs launched by a user can only damage his or her own files, and cannot ruin the entire system or other users' files.
Which brings us to System rights. Users can elevate their rights either on a need, or a perceived-need basis, to System rights, which gives them the ability to change system settings or access content in otherwise restricted directories. With 'on a need basis', I mean that programs, processes, or actions initiated in User rights mode, may require System rights at some point (changing a systemwide setting, writing a file to a restricted directory, and so on). With 'on a perceived-need basis', I mean that the user can switch to System rights without there being a specific need; this may come in handy when setting up the machine in question, when doing heavy system modifications, or simply when an experienced user wants to know more about the system. This is one of the complaints behind UAC: you can't tell it to maintain System rights.
Of course, switching to System rights requires the System password at all times.
The reason I settled on the naming convention of User and System rights (instead of things like root or administrator) is because I find them clearer to the user. You either have 'User-wide' access (Home and Settings directories) or 'System-wide' access. I find 'root' to be an inherently meaningless term in computing, and administrator sounds too much like someone who works for the government. And nobody likes government people. In addition, these names happen to fit quite well into the new filesystem layout.
Even though these two permission levels are the default, advanced users are of course free to fine grain permissions, add different permission levels, forbid specific users from elevating permissions, create a System user account that always has access to everything (root, basically), and so on. In addition, advanced users may also sandbox applications at will, by specifically forbidding certain programs or processes from gaining System privileges. This level of control is needed in for instance larger organisations or server environments, but can also prove to be valuable for programmers who want to test drive their latest code in a secure, non-destructive manner.
Of course, this is nothing new, but in my utopian system, this should actually be easy to accomplish. I've been wrestling with the Group Policy editor thing in Server 2003 for a while now, and dear lord, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm reviewing a tool that allows me to fine grain the rights of processes and programs, but it's so utterly complicated I'm completely lost. I see the potential - it just needs to be easier to accomplish.
Let's move on to the real deal.
- "Introduction; Privileges"
- "Filesystem layout"
- "Harold Kelley would be proud"
- "The beauty"

Finishing Wood 101: Good Visuals
I was lucky enough to be Bob Flexner's editor for 'Wood Finishing 101'. Throughout the process he and I both came back to the value of the images that would be in the book. Showing step-by-step, with pictures, how to apply a finish was the important part. Bob has always been a stickler for details, and that's what we love about him, so I wasn't surprised that his photos were meticulous and well-detailed, and I knew that what we were creating would be a valuable tool to almost anybody finishing wood.
Maybe because I was so involved with the process I lost some of that perspective by the time the book was published. When Chris Schwarz posted his review of Bob's new book, I was pleased that he liked and we ended up talking about it. Chris pointed out one of the things he liked most about 'Wood Finishing 101', were the photos in which Bob was able to visually share some of the really hard things to explain about finishing. Chris is right, the photos are impressive. To give you a sense of what we're talking about, here are a few examples from the book:
Shown above are Bob's photos explaining the difference between a gloss (from left to right), semi-gloss and satin finish. It doesn't get much more simple. Click on the individual photos for a larger image.
How about a couple of good examples of how important it is to sand properly before applying a finish. The photo below left shows off planer marks that weren't properly sanded, while the photo on the right shows swirls left by a random orbit sander.
Glue left on a project before finishing is an invisible headache. Here's what it looks like at a joint (left) and when an errant fingerprint (right) isn't found in time:
Two more finishing issues; runs and sags, and bubbles.
The good news is if you follow Bob's steps in 'Wood Finishing 101', you won't have to see any of these characters (or character flaws) in real life. Great photos, Bob!

If you wonder how exactly to pray for the United States, your state, city and church, you aren't alone. Observing the National Day of Prayer may seem a little overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Start with the following Scriptures and list of topics, and soon the prayers will be pouring forth.
I. Reflect on these scripture verses to set the tone for your observance of The National Day of Prayer.
If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. ~~ II Chronicles 7:14
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance (v. 12). ~~ Psalm 33:12-22
I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them. ~~ Matthew 18:19-20
Then Jesus told His disciples...that they should always pray and not give up. ~~ Luke 18:1
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~~ Philippians 4:6, 7
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. ~~ I Timothy 2:1-4
II - THROUGH THIS PRAYER GUIDE, you will have an opportunity to petition God on behalf of our leaders and those who are in authority over us, as we are instructed to do in 1 Timothy 2:1-2. As you humbly come before the Lord and seek His face, please pray that these men and women will be granted divine wisdom, guidance, and strength to fulfill their important roles.

* Commit to the permanence of marriage

Personal Renewal and Moral Awakening
Reverence and Humility
Ask God to help us:
* Confess our sins
* Seek His direction
* Rely on Him instead of ourselves
We need to pray because the Bible commands us to (Matthew 6:5; Romans 12:12; 1 Thess 5:17). Prayer is how we communicate with God and participate in His works. It grants us the privilege of experiencing God, keeps us humble before Him, strengthens the bonds between believers and can succeed where other means have failed.
Why Pray For Our Nation?
God answers the prayers of His people, and in 2 Chronicles 7:14, He specifically emphasizes the importance of praying for our nation. Ask the Lord to bring about spiritual renewal across America. Pray that people will turn to Him and seek His will for our land.
Why Pray For Our Leaders?
The Bible instructs us to pray for "all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" (1 Timothy 2:2). Pray that our leaders will seek God and endeavor to serve Him in a manner that is worthy of their positions of influence.
Why Pray For Our Communities?
Intercessory prayer has the power to change the place where you live. It is time that we took back our communities for the sake of God's Kingdom and covered them with our humble petitions. Pray for your own city or town, asking God to bless your efforts to reclaim your neighborhood in His name.
Why Pray For Our Families?
God designed the family to be a place of love, support, spiritual growth, and, of course, prayer. Now is the time to pray for this holy institution, which is currently under attack in our country. Ask the Lord to bring peace, guidance and healing to families that are struggling every day.
Why Pray For Our Youth?
The youth of today will grow up to lead Twenty-first-century America. Each day conflicting moral standards, violence, and the latest media scandals bombard them. In the midst of this turmoil, God is raising up an army of young people. Ask the Lord to make them bold and steadfast in their faith.

Robert Troiano
Age: 60
Lives In: Westbury
Political experience: Nassau County Legislator since 2010. Prior to that, was a councilman in the Town of North Hempstead for six years.
Career: Prior to political career was a treasurer and senior vice president for Prudential Securities.
Family: Married to Sharon for 29 years. Three grown children and one grandchild.
Pepitz Blanchard
Age: 52
Lives in: New Cassel
Political Experience: None
Career: Originally from Haiti, got degree as respiratory therapy. Worked at a number of hospitals, including Franklin Hospital. Presently works at Nassau Medical Center.
Family: Married, four teenage children.
What is your seminal issue — the one issue that is most important to you personally and would like to purse should you hold the office?
Robert Troiano: Economic development as a vehicle for containing ever-increasing taxes. I am most concerned that the residents of my legislative district participate in the development projects I cited. I have already elicited a commitment from the developers of the Coliseum to utilize minority and women-owned firms for up to as much as 20% of the $230 million this project will cost. I will be monitoring their efforts to ensure they achieve the committed level. I intend to do the same with other projects to ensure that all Nassau residents have an opportunity to benefit from these developments.
Pepitz Blanchard: One of the most pressing issues that worries me the most in my electoral district is the tax rate and insecurity. Every year, school and property taxes continue to increase with no signs of ever reaching a plateau or decreasing. This is an issue that must be addressed, especially if those tax dollars are not being put to good use. Insecurity in my district is another important issue that I will be fighting for if elected on Nov 5. Just a few weeks ago, a young man was shot to death off Prospect Ave in Westbury The criminal fired eight bullets until he finally shot the young man. No individual should ever be put to such situation and unfortunately, the current leaders have turned a blind eye on violence in my community. I am tired of reading my daily newspaper and learning that another act of gun violence has taken place. We must create programs that keep our kids entertained and in school and off the street.
What are the qualifications that make you the best candidate for the legislative office?

Chinese manufacturer Huawei is mostly known for their low-end smartphones in the US, but the company has been revealing some pretty impressive high-end devices at recent trade shows. At CES they showed off the Ascend P1 S, which was billed as the thinnest smartphone at 6.68 mm thick and also one of the first new phones to ship with Android 4.0.
Our very own Nick was so impressed with the Ascend P1 LTE that he said it was one of his favorite Android phones of CES.
Now new information has leaked out about Huawei's upcoming Diamond series, which is said to offer the "smartest, fastest and most high-performing smartphones." Japanese site Blog of Mobile is reporting that Huawei will unveil two devices at Mobile World Congress this month, called the Ascend D1 Q and MediaPad 10.
A lot of this is speculation, but some are taking the name Ascend D1 Q and interpreting "D1″ as Diamond series and "Q" as quad-core. Huawei has partnered with NVIDIA and used their Tegra 2 processor in previous tablets, so it's not that surprising to hear they could also be using the quad-core Tegra 3 in some new devices.
We have already billed Mobile World Congress 2012 as the quad-core phone show, where we expect at least a half-dozen devices to be unveiled. It will be tough to stand out from the crowd of quad-core devices, but Huawei sounds pretty confident about their Diamond series.
Mobile World Congress is only two weeks away, and I will be on-site to report on the hottest devices, so check back soon to see if Huawei can live up to the pre-show hype.

By Chris Jossart, Manager of Media RelationsFox Valley Technical College, Appleton, WI
When aspiring entrepreneurs seek resources to launch a business, they should be prepared to enjoy the experience long after their training is complete if the Venture Center at Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) in Appleton, WI, is leading the way. Successful entrepreneurs who received training from the Venture Center know firsthand that turning a profit isn't the only benefit from the experience.
The Venture Center commemorated five years of noteworthy benchmarks at the end of 2010, but the anniversary celebration didn't just focus on the successful launch of 300-plus businesses or the more than 800 jobs created in northeast Wisconsin. The real buzz behind this early milestone was the revolution of community resources that came together to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem that is revolutionizing economic development in our region. It's easy to see why the Venture Center has emerged as more than a reputable trainer for business start up and planning. It has become a central hub for a growing entrepreneur network.
"As an entrepreneur and small business educator, we learned that alone you can't be everything to everyone," says Amy Pietsch, director of the Venture Center at FVTC and E-Seed instructor. "The value you bring to a small business owner is a continuous network of support, rather than just a one-time training experience."
That role, according to Pietsch, was a huge paradigm shift for the Venture Center during its five years of development. "It's easy to focus on marketing the services you provide, but the real impact is on marketing your resources," she notes. "By doing so, you create a network that evolves into a one-stop shop for small businesses and entrepreneurship development."
Program Growth
Pietsch, who has also presented nationally for the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship Conference, championed the inception of the Venture Center, which has grown to offer E-Seed, a 15-week entrepreneur training program with an option for a faster track through E-Seed Express; Pro-Seed powered by E-Myth for existing business owners seeking growth strategies; and an annual Youth Entrepreneur Summit for more than 400 high school students. The summit involves E-Seed completers who share their small business success stories with the students.
These small business owners represent industries like retail, restaurants, manufacturing, clothing, renewable energy, service, health care, and more. "You need to share the small business owners' and entrepreneurs' stories to communicate your impact," added Pietsch.
One of the Venture Center's E-Seed completers with global clientele is Sandy Martin of Green 3 Apparel in Oshkosh, WI. Sandy and her husband, Jim, own the organic clothing and home soft goods store that specializes in high quality, environmentally-friendly customized apparel. Martin says the rigorous E-Seed program helped give her insight on every aspect of entrepreneurship.
"We worked on weekly projects, and during each class we reviewed our work and shared constructive criticism," Martin notes. "We also had special guests, like lawyers who explained some of the legal aspects of business and accountants who could discuss numbers. It was great to get their perspectives on things every week."
In less than three years, Green 3 has grown from two to 15 employees, has its clothing line in more than 400 boutiques and stores throughout the United States and in Tokyo, in addition to operating a large volume mail order infrastructure. Now, it is Martin who is one of those "guest speakers" at Venture Center training sessions. The cycle from trainee-to-storyteller-to-trainer is what keeps the network expanding, and the revolution fueling the region's economy.
"Don't close the door on the relationship when the entrepreneur opens his or her door for business; keep these individuals as part of what you do," she says.
Her advice is well received. In addition to the business launches, job creation, and hundreds of high school students introduced to entrepreneurship, the Venture Center also has connected more than 1,100 entrepreneurs at monthly networking events, coordinated the annual Northeast Wisconsin Entrepreneur Networking Day, provided more than 3,000 hours of one-on-one coaching, instruction, and technical assistance, and introduced high-tech, global networking and prototype creation through FVTC's Fab Lab (Fabrication Laboratory) for inventors and product developers.
Sandy Martin, of Green 3 Apparel in Oshkosh, WI, has completed The Venture Center's E-Seed training at Fox Valley Technical College.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — The United States ambassador to Mali says she has concerns about press freedom in the West African nation after authorities arrested a newspaper editor.
Ambassador Mary Beth Leonard told journalists on a telephone conference call Thursday that she and the U.S. had "great concern" about the arrest of Boukary Daou, the editor-in-chief of The Republican newspaper. Leonard said: "There's a vital role for media and we urge the utmost protection of free expression and rights under the law."
Daou was detained by agents from Mali's intelligence service on March 6. His arrest came soon after his newspaper published a letter from an army officer denouncing coup leader Capt. Amadou Haya Sanogo's recently-decreed salary of $8,000 per month, a very high salary in the impoverished country.

Skip to comments.Perry blasts repeal of dont ask, dont tell
Posted on 11/09/2011 7:32:05 AM PST by casinva
Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry on Tuesday blasted as irresponsible the repeal of the policy that barred openly gay troops from serving in the military, saying dont ask, dont tell was working well.
The idea that the president of the United States wanted to make a political statement using our men and women in the military as the tool for that was irresponsible, Perry said in an interview with ABC News Christiane Amanpour.
The ban was lifted in September, ending a provision that President Barack Obama said had forced gay and lesbian service members to lie about who they are.
Perry, a former Air Force pilot, accused Obama of playing to his political base at a time when the U.S. is fighting two wars. But the governor wouldnt say whether he would have been uncomfortable serving with openly gay service members.
I dont ask that question, he said. If an individual in their private life makes a decision about their sexuality, from the standpoint of how theyre going to practice it, thats their business.
Among other snippets from the exchange, part of ABC News daylong effort to talk with every GOP presidential contender:
Perry declined to delve into the sexual harassment allegations against rival Herman Cain, saying he doesnt have an interest in getting off my message of how we create jobs.
He brushed aside assertions that his flat-tax plan would bring in less revenue, requiring cuts in federal entitlement programs. He said the best safety net for an American is to have access to a job.
Q&A: Lighter side of Perry
Worst job hes ever had? Building fences with a jackhammer.
Favorite junk food? Vienna sausage and crackers.
His personal theme song? Itd have to be something that Beethoven wrote.
(Excerpt) Read more at dallasnews.com ...
Ping please.
This is all wonderful. I hope Perry understands the importance of not blowing it all by foolish immigration policy. Why should the US be the only country in the world with the onus of accepting any tramp with scarcely a peep? At least without asking very much of the tramp in return? We believe in the dream of going from rags to riches here, but we do insist the dreamer wakes and walks that way too.
Don't ask don't tell is the de-facto policy almost everywhere in business
I dont know the sex lives of anyone here at work and don't care to. If someone started talking about it every day (gay or straight) people would set him straight about only talking about work at work really quick or fire them for wasting company time
Why do Military people get to flounce around openly?
I totally agree. Sex should not be discussed in the workplace and the last thing I want to know is what my co-workers do in or out of the bedroom.
By the way, this thread is about Perry's position on don't ask, don't tell so take your whining about other issues somewhere else.
Unfortunately military men and women share their bedroom(s).
Not a 'private' matter and once accepted the repeal of DADT cannot be repealed. What has been done (affirmative action) cannot be undone!!!
Larry Sinclair can tell you why Obama repealed it.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
Anyone with a brain knew that the minute this was repealed the "social" lawsuits would start. Sure enough, wanted Military policy changed so that "Partners" would get same benes as Wives etc.
The MILITARY is not a Social Club. Their job is to protect Americans and America. AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB TOO.
If someone is so SENSITIVE about their personal choices. They DON'T belong in the military
Hope you numb-nuts are happy.
If you all get zotted for this crap I'm gonna LMAO.
HUGE thank you for saying that!!!!!!!!!!
I recall several threads wherein Cain was being lauded for espousing his positions and several Perry supporters chimed in to say that Cain was behind and that Perry had already stated his position on those issues.
I did nothing more than what your fellow fellow PerryBots did in those threads; I commented that Perry was behind, in this case by about a month because he is. Get over it.
I didn't do any of those things.
You [and your fellow hijackers], on the other hand, posted on a thread info that had nothing to do with that
particular thread.
That's Hijacking, Buddy.
I'm not going to *Get Over* anything and I'll call you on it everytime I see it.
Quit making a mockery of this site.
And your opinion of this forum is really of no interest to me. Why don't you share it with the proprietors?
And this thread has not been 'hijacked'. It's hours old and has less than 20 posts. It's a dead thread because no one but you 3%ers gives a damn about your pro-ILLEGAL alien candidate, a man so stupid he purposely insulted the very people whose support and votes he needs. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, that La Raza Rick.
You just keep in mind what I said.
Lol....anti-Perry trolls are a hoot...must be their day off from shooting at illegals..

Legal Services Plans: More Business and More Clients
For nearly 40 years, the American Bar Association (ABA) Standing Committee on Group and Prepaid Legal Ser-vices, its predecessor Special Committee, and the American Prepaid Legal Services Institute (API) have worked to advance group legal services plans as a meaningful and economical method of delivering legal services to low- and middle-income Americans. API has members in Canada and other countries as well.
There are dozens of group legal services plans in the United States, resulting in numerous opportunities for law-yers to apply for and be added to the panels of lawyers providing the actual legal services for these plans. Work-ing with a pilot group of such plans, the API and the Standing Committee have created the online Legal Plan Universal Application Portal, which allows a lawyer to apply to six legal plans at once. Lawyers simply fill out a single online application form, designate the plans they wish to apply to, upload and attach the necessary docu-ments (such as evidence of malpractice insurance and certificates of good standing), and click "submit." Lawyers who are members of several plans will no longer have to send a separate copy of their malpractice insurance to each plan administrator individually. If the administrator of a particular plan needs any additional information, it will contact the lawyer directly.
The Legal Plan Universal Application Portal can only be used by API members, but thanks to the ABA General Practice, Solo and Small Firm Division's new partnership with the API, GPSolo members currently receive a dis-count on API membership. Joining the API grants access not only to the application portal but also to the API's many other benefits. (For more details about the API and what it offers, please visit www.aplsi.org.)
Michael J. Maslanka (the current API president, a former member of the Standing Committee, and a new member of the GPSolo Division) confirms that the application process through the API's online portal really is easy—it takes only about 15 minutes. A lawyer with Sacks, Goreczny, Maslanka & Costello, P.C., in Chicago, Illinois, Maslanka has been participating in several types of legal services plans for 20 years. He became familiar with such plans when he joined a midsized firm that represented unions and employees of unions, which used prepaid legal services as part of their member benefits. He is a general practitioner, and he has found that his participation has definitely helped him to build his practice.
Maslanka once received a call from a new client on the same day that he was approved by a plan and his informa-tion was posted on the legal plan provider's website. Learning how that plan worked took only a short time, too. Each participating lawyer receives a plan handbook with instructions on the payment process and coverage, and each lawyer is advised whom to call for any needed assistance.
Despite the simplicity of this process, some lawyers might be deterred from participating in a legal services plan because they believe that the fees the plan pays will be lower than those they could privately charge a client, or that the fees will be set on a fixed schedule. But the payment structure is different for every plan. For example, ARAG, Allstate, Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services, Legal Resources, UAW, and Hyatt are just a few plans that have differing payment structures. The payment structure usually depends on the type of matter involved. Referral plans may require free consultations for the client; others may require you to offer a discount on your regular fee. Maslanka also encountered a few instances where the plan didn't cover some of the requirements for a case, so the plan paid part of the fee and the client paid the balance. Most plan billing is completed online. Sometimes the cases are grouped, and you are paid semimonthly.
Increased workload (high- volume calls) is another area of concern that may deter some lawyers from participat-ing in legal services plans (and possibly encourage others). Maslanka saw a gradual increase in his cases and of-ten sees repeat business or referrals from plan clients to their friends and family. The number of calls usually de-pends on your geographic location or legal specialty. If you are practicing in a niche area of law, you will be con-tacted as needed. If there are no other lawyers in the plan in your location, you will receive more calls. In urban areas, there may be multiple listings in your zip code. Essentially, you are letting the plans do all the marketing for you—and the plans even pay for it.
We urge you to visit the API website and decide if participating in a legal services plan is an opportunity that might be right for your practice.Best of ABA Sections

Technical informations
The guide rail is very strong, both in terms of its cold drawn hardened profiles and its stops that are equipped with spring-dampers when closing and opening. It is intended for drawers carrying very heavy loads. It can be used for transfer hatch. Being equipped with reinforcing ball bearings, it may also be flat mounted. Remember that a flat mounting induce significant deflection.
we do not recommend vertical mounting (guillotine) for this model.
Recommended operating temperatures from -20 to 80┬░C. After modifications during manufacturing, we can go from -50 to 250┬░C.
Mounting on a minor axis: Increased risk of friction between beams during operation. A flat mounting will create significant deflection.
Increase space between the beams through spacers not supplied, in order to avoid the scraping due to the deflection.
This product can be used as a telescopic leg, battery drawer slide, cabinet slide, guide rail for telescopic gangway, furniture or tooling slideway bars, telescopic table, overhead rail, heavy load slide-drawer, horizontal guide.
Chambrelan produces this telescopic slide using hot laminated steel profiles with a cold drawn finish.
Anti-corrosion standard coating is a silver zinc, of a 12 microns average thickness, which offers excellent resistance to the salt spray test.
It is equipped with spring shock stops.
It has ball cages made of zinc plated steel.
Its ball bearings are made of 100C6 chrome steel. It is greased with a high pressure grease.
Chambrelan is specialized in the design and manufacturing of telescopic slides and rails for industrial applications: reinforced slides, linear slide bearings rail, bearings guide, steel, aluminum or stainless steel sliders, partial, full or over extension, heavy duty industrial drawers...
Standard slides are delivered slightly greased. We use a high pressure bearing grease for steel slides and a white grease for aluminum and stainless slides. Upon request, we can use food grease (compatible clean room) a high temperature grease a teflon free grease (for spray booths...) grease free mounting (although we do not advise this option)
A food safe grease, combined with stainless steel ball bearings, offers a cheap alternative to stainless steel slides.
Manual lock
It has no lock option so far.
To lock the drawer in the center position, we have developed a slam lock. Each face of the drawer receives a handle that controls a central lockout feature. For more details: DHFDD.
Surface treatment
Other treatments ensuring better corrosion resistance are also available. Do not hesitate to contact us.
A nitruration coating can be supplied, which offers, in addition to corrosion resistance, an increased resistance to hammering of ball bearings and a longer lifespan. This option can be usefull in the case of intensive use or applications subject to vibrations.
Stainless stell ball bearings mounting
It can be mounted with stainless steel balls to get a very good corrosion resistance, which in some cases can provide an economical alternative to stainless steel slides.
