No-Hassle Holiday Shopping for Husker Fans
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
For Nebraska football fans who think they have everything, The N-Sider has all kinds of sure-fire tips designed to make your holiday shopping easy. We've done all the heavy lifting, so you don't even have to leave your house to look smart or be savvy. All you need are the links in this column, a credit card next to your computer and the ability to congratulate yourself for shopping like millions of other Americans shop ... online ... with no crowd, no hassle, no second-guessing. It's your opportunity to delight family and friends at the same time you're supporting your favorite athletic department.
Our top holiday suggestions for 2012 gift giving are a pair of books: 1) Unbeatable, Tom Osborne and the Greatest Era of Nebraska Football, written by Henry J. Cordes, an Omaha World-Herald staffer given major access to Osborne before he retires as Nebraska's athletic director on Jan. 1, 2013 (followed by at least six months with the title of Nebraska Athletic Director Emeritus); and 2) Tom Osborne on Leadership, Life Lessons from a Three-Time National Championship Coach, written by Pat Williams with insight/editing from Mike Babcock, Nebraska's most knowledgeable living football historian.
Every Big Red fan would enjoy having both books in the library, so it might be wise to double your pleasure. At the very least, order one book now for the holiday season and buy the other for a meaningful Father's Day or Mother's Day gift when Osborne transitions to the next chapter in his servant-filled life. The N-Sider will focus on the fundamentals of both books, but rest assured, they're both well written and good reads, even though they're decidedly different in approach.
Cordes spent 16 hours interviewing Osborne so he could climb inside the Hall-of-Fame coach's head and get the full thought process on his championship teams, including an inside look at his systems, methods and philosophies that formed the foundation of his success. Cordes also got the inside scoop on Tommie Frazier's decision to come to Nebraska and writes about how close Tommie came to never setting foot in Lincoln. The author also reveals how Warren Sapp became the perfect foil on the biggest play in the 1994 national championship game and offers a fresh look at Lawrence Phillips: The man, his rage, his crimes and why Osborne has never given up on him.
The narrative nature of Cordes' hardcover book shows the impact of 120 hours of interviews he needed to match players' memories with a head coach's recollection. Within weeks of being published, 10,000 copies of Unbeatable were sold, moving it into the top 80 of Barnes & Noble's National Top 100 Sales Chart.
The Williams/Babcock paperback publication, priced $11 cheaper than Cordes'book, reached bookstores last weekend and promises to sell quickly as well. Williams used the same editorial approach with Osborne that he used in writing incisive leadership books on Bear Bryant and Bobby Bowden. Williams interviewed countless Husker players and coaches so he could dig deeper and reinforce the following eight leadership principles that he connects with Osborne:
- Be a servant leader. Sacrifice yourself for the benefit of others.
- Accentuate the positive and empower those around you.
- Focus on your values and principles and stay true to them.
- Bring a sense of teamwork through loyalty and unity.
- Do whatever you can to help make a difference in the world.
- Whenever you deal with adversity, learn from the experience.
- Focus on what matters most: Character, principles and process.
- Mentor someone and leave a legacy of spirit and perseverance.
A co-founder and senior vice president of the Orlando Magic NBA franchise, Williams is considered one of the nation's top motivational speakers. According to Babcock a recent Williams' speech at Lincoln's Union College reinforced that reputation at the same time it reinforced his new book.
Babcock likes how the book is organized and believes Nebraska fans will enjoy reading the nuances of Osborne's leadership style that breaks down into these seven chapters: 1) Character: Performance Ensures Trust; 2) Competence: The Key is Preparation; 3) Boldness: Dare to Diversify; 4) Vision: Seeing Ways to Win; 5) People Skills: Working as a Team; 6) A Serving Heart: Servant Leaders Gain Devoted Disciples; and 7) Communication: Making the Right Plays.
"One of my favorite chapters in the book is Chapter 3 about boldness. It focuses on walk-ons," Babcock said. "It begins with Mitch Krenk, who was not recruited but reflected back on how, 30 years later, he has two Big Eight championship rings and a Super Bowl ring with the Chicago Bears. Mitch talked about how everyone was given an equal opportunity under Osborne and how all walk-ons were treated just like big-time recruits. Even at 52, Mitch (who owns his own construction business in Nebraska City) still reflects on how different his life would be without the lessons he learned under Coach Osborne. He remembers how 150 freshmen reported for that first day of practice with the vast majority being walk-ons.
"That chapter reflects the book well," Babcock said, "because the folks represented include familiar names as well as those not so familiar, such as Ryan Held and Cartier Walker, both of whom had some nice things to say about Tom. When guys such as Held, who didn't even letter, say those kinds of things, you know Tom had a significant impact with his positive, reinforcing style of leadership."
Babcock has written eight other Husker-related football books, including Heart of a Husker and the popular University of Nebraska Football Vault. The N-Sider has such implicit trust in Babcock's editorial skills that we also offer our endorsement of Hail Varsity. Babcock is the featured columnist for that first-year Nebraska football magazine, which has proven itself unparalleled in terms of quality writing, photography and design.
I know a Hastings, Neb., surgeon who ordered a Hail Varsity subscription last summer for himself and another one for his son living in Chicago. Both insist that Hail Varsity is the most compelling Nebraska football magazine ever. That's why we strongly recommend a gift subscription to a publication on the move.
Through HuskerFanRewards.com, Huskers.com is giving away 10 Hail Varsity gift packs. Those packs include a one-year subscription to Hail Varsity and a signed Tom Osborne cover issue. Anyone can win. Just join the Rewards Club and participate with Huskers.com and Hail Varsity on social media to earn points. We're distributing prizes in two ways: 1) A straight-up trade for points or 2) By trading points to enter drawings. That's not all.

Team Jack Tee-Shirts: If you haven't read the N-Sider or watched the Big Ten Network video on 7-year-old Jack Hoffman's courageous fight against brain cancer, watch this 10-minute video. It explains the close personal relationship between Jack and Rex Burkhead, the captain of the 2012 Allstate Good Works Team, a 2-time Academic All-American and the 2012 Champion Award winner. Jack was the inspiration behind a Nebraska chapter of Uplifting Athletes, and Team Jack has been the catalyst for nearly 15,000 red T-shirts sold, producing a net profit of $120,000 and a matching $100,000 anonymous gift to benefit pediatric brain cancer. Approximately 2,500 Team Jack shirts remain, and every dime of profit in the all-volunteer organization supports the cause.
Personalized Photos: This product is can't miss in terms of satisfaction. Looking over my left shoulder right now, I have a large framed photo of a packed Memorial Stadium with the Nebraska Band spelling Randy York from one 30-yard line to the other (The digitally integrated photo was a gift). It's trickery, of course, but it looks like the true power of red and catches most people off guard. Use the Replay Photo applicator to spell your own name here. Equally popular is another personalized digital photo with your favorite fan's name printed on a red jersey and hanging in a Nebraska football locker. In the upper right-hand corner, Big Red magic is the result of one simple click of your mouse.
Special Stocking Stuffers: Get two copies of 50 Years of Husker Memories for the price of one.This 256-page softcover book is written by HuskerMax.com co-founder David Max, who honors Bob Devaney's 1962 arrival with a worthwhile trip down memory lane. Max and business partner Joe Hudson, a UNL graduate, launched their website in 1999. Huskers Illustrated is another pillar of Nebraska football history. The publication offers a gift subscription in print and the ability to become an online subscriber with your own account. Another creative stocking stuffer is Husker Legacy, written by Chad Bonham with ex-Husker Gordon Thiessen, who invited Osborne to speak at a special Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) gathering two weeks ago. Thiessen taped that 50-minute program to share with Big Red fans everywhere. Take a few seconds to download the speech. It's definitely worth hearing Osborne and his sincere yet fascinating insight. He takes you all the way back to his childhood and what it was like to grow up without a father, a patriotic man who decided to enlist so he could serve his country after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Osborne didn't see his dad for almost five years. Listen to the audio and you'll understand why Osborne is such a strong believer in servant leadership. You'll also learn how his 1957 trip to Estes Park, Colo., to attend an FCA Conference in the summer between his sophomore and junior years at Hastings College changed his life ... forever.

The 89-year-old son of late New York socialite Brooke Astor on Monday lost a final plea that because of old age and illness he should avoid prison time for his conviction on charges he cheated his ailing mother before her death.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Kirke Bartley declined the defense request to throw out Anthony Marshall's 1- to 3-year sentence, noting that a higher court, the state Supreme Court's Appellate Division, already rejected Marshall's argument that he should be spared prison because of his age and illness.
Marshall's lawyer portrayed him as a frail man who would likely die if incarcerated. He was expected to report on Thursday to begin his prison term.
Marshall and his codefendant, Francis Morrissey, 72, a lawyer, were convicted in 2009 of grand larceny and other charges for keeping Marshall's mother in squalid conditions in her final years and of taking advantage of his mother's deteriorating mental state for financial gain. Morrissey was also due to start serving his 1- to 3-year sentence on Thursday.
The defense attempt to keep Marshall out of prison marked the latest development in a case that has shed a rare light on New York's high society and a family closely associated with "old money."
Astor was an heir of John Jacob Astor, who built a fortune on fur trade in the early 19th century. An active philanthropist, she was worth an estimated $200 million when she died in 2007 at age 105.
Last week, Marshall's attorney asked Bartley to throw out Marshall's 2009 conviction and grant a retrial after a juror recanted her guilty vote in a sworn statement. The judge was expected to decide Thursday whether to grant a new trial.
Marshall suffers from a heart condition and is bound to a wheelchair, defense lawyer Kenneth Warner told the court on Monday.
Marshall's inability to walk or feed himself makes him too frail for incarceration, and he would likely die if sent to prison, Warner said.
"It would be a cruel and unusual punishment to be sentenced to jail at his age, in his condition," Warner said. "The reality is that ... he is a feeble and frail 89-year-old."
Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Loewy, chief of the Elder Abuse Unit, opposed the defense motion to keep Marshall out of jail.
"I feel compassion about Mr. Marshall's age," Loewy said. "But after he decided to steal thousands of dollars from Ms. Astor, after you commit such a crime, just because you're elderly, you don't throw your hands up and say, 'Show me mercy; I'm elderly."

Mapmaker, mapmaker, make me a map
Our GPS, as we've mentioned, had moments of great mischief during our jaunt through Europe. At several points, driving through both the Czech Republic and Poland, the highway icons on her display disappeared and we were, according to her, in the middle of huge fields with no roads in sight.
"Recalculating," she said. "Take first dirt road on left." Fact was, we were traveling down a four-lane highway at 75 mph.
In downtown Geneva, looking for a gas station, she sent us down a narrow road that ended at a farmer's market.
Her most upsetting techno-glitch came when we were in Slovakia and had typed in the address for our campground in Trencin, a small town north of the capital city of Bratislava. The camping books didn't say much about the place, except that it was on a small island in the middle of a river. And we didn't flinch when GPS sent us down increasingly less-maintained streets in a sketchy industrial neighborhood. It wasn't passing the smell test, but we thought we would come upon a bridge that would take us onto the island with the campground.
Instead, we found ourselves inside what appeared to be an abandoned or little-used industrial yard in the midst of train tracks. We conjured images of gypsies ready to pounce. "This isn't right," Jeanne said. "Uh, let's back out of here."
We did and, as we approached the road, a man came running out toward us. Great. He's going to stall us, distract us, as his cohorts in crime gather for their ambush. He smiled. Nice try, buster.
I told him we were lost. (Duh.) We didn't understand his response but it was clear he did not speak English. And we knew something was up. He kept smiling.
Jeanne reached across me and handed him the book with the name of the campground. His eyes lit up. "Ah!" works in any language. He started talking to us. I looked at him and shrugged. "I don't understand," I said. I pretended to look pitiful to gain sympathy. Actually, I didn't need to pretend at all.
He held up a finger as if to say "Wait," and walked quickly back to what looked like a guard shed. He returned with a yellowed piece of paper, the kind that would have come out of a Big Chief tablet when I was in second grade back in 1958.
He drew me a map, and walked me through it. He drew the road with several curves, bends and hard turns. He drew railroad tracks. (I went "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" to imitate the sound of a crossing-guard gate. He looked at me, lost his smile, then found it again, and said "ding ding ding!") Then he drew signal lights and a traffic circle and the name of a store, and an island in the middle of a river, and the name of the campground. Bingo!
I thanked him. Jeanne really thanked him and took his picture. We smiled and he smiled and we made it to the campground without a problem, four miles away. We camped alongside a river, below an old castle that was illuminated with colored lights.
GPS never apologized but she had sent us to a very nice map maker with a great smile.

It's no secret that glyphosate resistance has become a significant problem for cotton producers, and researchers are finding that managing this pest is influenced by many factors.
"In areas where we're fortunate, and we have rainfall or can irrigate, we can be fairly successful managing glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed. But in other areas, it's far more challenging," said Stanley Culpepper, Georgia Extension agronomist, speaking at the recent Beltwide Cotton Conferences in San Antonio.
Before a management program can be developed, it's important to know exactly what growers are doing, says Culpepper. "This is a fairly new concept, because in the past I only had to know which weed species was in your field. Now, many more factors must be considered," he says.
These factors include whether or not the field is irrigated/conventional-tillage, dryland/conventional-tillage, dryland/conservation-tillage, or irrigated/conservation-tillage.
"Usually, if it's irrigated, we do very well, as long as we can convince the grower to turn on the irrigation within a day or two of applying the residual herbicide. But dryland is where we're struggling desperately," he says.
Everyone knows, he adds, that residual herbicides are a strong component of any program to manage glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. "If you were in the central part of Georgia last year, near Tifton, and you wanted to get an activating rainfall, you had five to seven days when you would get at least one-half inch of rain.
"It's a challenge for us in the southern and central part of the state to get these residuals, especially at-plant herbicides, activated by rainfall. That is why we're struggling so desperately in dryland production," says Culpepper.
There is no doubt, in Georgia, that an integrated approach will be needed to manage this pest, he says. Researchers are now in the process of attempting to understand and determine which specific "tactics" could be used in an integrated approach, he says.
These tactics could include tillage, cover crops, Ignite-based programs, or various mixtures of all of these, says Culpepper.
"Is it tillage? Is it cover crops? We're 98-percent Roundup Ready now, so should we be using more Ignite-based programs? Or will it be a mixture of all these plus additional control measures such as hand-weeding?"
Culpepper, along with other Extension specialists and researchers, conducted a study looking at the impact of soil tillage activities such as deep turning, incorporating a yellow herbicide, and cultivating in a dryland, conventionally produced crop.
Two experiments were conducted in Macon County, Ga.
The first tillage option was either breaking the land or not breaking the land, he explains. "Our four options were no herbicide, a WeatherMax or glyphosate-only program, and two systems that we refer to as the Prowl system and the Treflan system.
"The Prowl system was an application of Prowl H20 plus Reflex pre-emergence, followed with a topical application of WeatherMax and Dual and a layby of conventional chemistry — Direx plus MSMA," says Culpepper.
The Treflan system included incorporating a yellow herbicide — a lost art among some growers, he says. "We incorporated Treflan, followed with Reflex pre-emergence, and then followed with Direx and MSMA, the same as for the Prowl system. Herbicide use rates were typical for the soils in which we were producing these crops."
The trials were small plots, says Culpepper, and they received rainfall five days after application. "Our residual at-plant herbicides in this trial are going to be far more productive than in a typical situation where it may not have rained for 10 to 15 days."
When cotton reached the one-leaf to two-leaf stage, it became evident that breaking the land was an extremely important factor, he says.
"Even when we didn't apply a herbicide, the difference between breaking land and not breaking the land was very evident. When you counted all replications, it was about a 60 percent reduction in the number of Palmer amaranth plants that were present on two-week cotton in the no-herbicide systems. We all know that managing this pest is a fight against the seed banks and the population we have in the field.
Looking at mid- to late-season prior to layby treatments, the deep tillage treatments featured the Roundup Ready-only system and the Prowl and Treflan systems.
"When we didn't have deep tillage, it was obvious the Treflan system was pretty effective. But even at 89 percent, we're not even at layby, and it is a potential challenge. If you look at deep tillage systems, we have 53 percent visual control with no herbicide. This is good news for me, because for several years, nothing by itself would give us 53 percent control. The Roundup Ready-only system was 67 percent and the Prowl and Treflan systems were phenomenal. For the first time in four or five years, we saw a program with acceptable control."
At harvest, the advantage of the Treflan over the Prowl system without deep tillage is still evident, at 90 percent to 79 percent, but both programs — Prowl at 94 percent and Treflan at 98 percent — had excellent control in deep tillage.
"We used the exact same herbicide programs — we simply had fewer plants emerging where we deep-turned the land. Although we may have removed the same percentage of plants, we could at least harvest our crop where we deep-turned the land."
Seed cotton yields, says Culpepper, followed very closely the same trends in the trial as Palmer amaranth control. Where the ground was not broken, the Treflan system was more productive than the Prowl system. Where deep tillage was used, the Prowl and Treflan systems were statistically similar.
"And we could not harvest where we used no herbicides or where we had three applications of glyphosate."
The second experiment, he says, consisted of larger plots but essentially the same treatments. There were two herbicide treatments, each with and without cultivation, and they were identical to the Prowl and Treflan systems used in the previous trials.
"We saw similar results," says Culpepper. "At harvest, incorporating Treflan gave us about 10 percent better control versus putting Prowl H20 on top of the ground. This experiment also received rainfall five days after herbicide application, and that's critical because if it was 10, 15 or 20 days after application. My guess is that Treflan would have been even more effective."
The benefit from cultivation was seen in the Prowl system with 11 percent better control, he says. "We did not have a significant advantage in the Treflan system, but with the mentality that we often need 98 or 99 percent control for this pest, it may be enough to be a practical advantage for your growers."
Yields, says Culpepper, followed almost identical trends. "We did have a significant advantage within each system where we cultivated. The benefit from that cultivation — even in the Treflan system — showed up in our yield comparison."
Work also was done in Alabama three to four years ago, with numbers generally ranging between 60 percent and 70 percent reduction of various weed species, including glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth.
"When we're not deep-turning the land, which would include the majority of our conservation tillage, incorporating a yellow herbicide improved control by 11 percent at harvest and increased yields by 26 percent. We understand the limitations of this for growers — we're just trying to find programs that are effective."
Cultivation, he says, improved control in the Prowl system by 11 percent and increased yield by 6 to 10 percent in the Prowl or Treflan systems.
"In conclusion, deep-turning the land, incorporating the yellow herbicide, and cultivation all can be used to improve the control of glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth in dryland Roundup Ready cotton production in Georgia."

Dear Kernel 3.8.0:
On my Asus A7V400-MX with 500 mb RAM, using Puppy Precise 5.4.93 .iso burned to a DVD, the BootFlash Installer and the Puppy Universal Installer both produce a USB that, when it is booted, unfortunately states
"Searching for Puppy files. puppy_precise_5.4.93.sfs not found."
And, as well, this being Awards Season in North America, I would like to nominate Sage an 'Understatement of the Year' award for the comment
"Remarkably slow loading and initial setup ...."

That message is usually associated with problems when booting off CD/DVDs. It would be interesting to know if the ISObooter method
gets you a working USB drive

I'm getting configure errors, I wanted to learn to make .pets, and downloaded Mplayer, Httrack, and Rhythmcat and in each typing ./configure gets me the same error:
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/mnt/sdb2/RhythmCat-1.0.0-1':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
I can't recall seeing this on Fedora, but I haven't done much with source, am I doing something wrong, or is GCC?
This is on 5.4.90, with G.C.C 4.6.3

Post subject: compressed NTFS
I have found a problem with use of compressed-NTFS and both versions of 5.5beta.
This problem differs from past reports because this problem occurs in the following manner. (As we may remember, the past problem was with SHUTDOWN processing of the save-session)
This problem occurs at boot-time under the following scenario:
Copy the CD contents to a folder on compressed-NTFS
Instruct the GRUB4DOS boot manager to find the files needed at boot.
Boot system with newly changed GRUB4DOS
System appears to start but aborts within 5 seconds as follows:
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3e00, size=0s2ce260]
[Linux-initrd @ 0x5e3000,0x1df473 bytes]
uncompression error
--system halted
By simply moving the Precise data folder from the compressed-NTFS to a standard NTFS,and having GRUB4DOS point to its new NTFS location, the system will boot without problems.
This has not happened with Pemasu's versions of Precise.
Hope this helps.

Hi BarryK,
I upgraded direct from my 5.4 PAE Multi-session-live-CD to 5.4.92 two days ago and, having since used that as my sole OS, I have only good news and praise.
I've some minor observations, but 01micko's desktop pet was appreciated:
(a) Desktop icon changes were lost, but "desksetup-0.4.pet" restored them
(b) The file ".jwmrc-tray" was replaced (so I re-entered - maxwidth="25")
(c) I had changed the backgrounds - and the new seascape was not added.
My regards and thanks
PS The iso downloaded at some 9 times expected speed. So,
thank you, in case it was not mere luck.

Post subject: Precise 126.96.36.199 (k3.8.0)
Subject description: More on NVIDIA, network, textmaker problems
I tried a clean boot with:
pfix=ram nouveau.noaccel=1
as suggested. This does allow you to load the nouveau driver with the xorgwizard prompting both report-video and xorg.conf to identify the driver as 'nouveau'. Unfortunately, glxgears reports only 38 fps (as compared to ca. 1350 fps with k3.2.29 and the proprietary nvidia driver 173.14.35 in Precise 5.4.92). So at least with my hardware (GeForce FX5200), this does not seem to be a viable solution.
Unfortunately, linking the missing version.h (or copying it to the expected location does not fix the problem with compiling the nvidia drivers in k3.8.0 as it did in k3.7.2. This produces:
Error: Unable to determine kernel module filename
This is true for 173.14.35 and the latest driver 173.14.36 (dated October 4, 2012).
Thanks for the explanation. It is too bad that the newer kernels won't work with the Samba-TNG server. I don't have time to mess with the full samba at the moment, so I will just have to roll back to an earlier kernel.

Post subject: syslogd & klogd send messages from the future.
When examining /var/log/messages, one will notice that many messages seem to be coming from some time in the future. If one is not aware of this, it can be very confusing while trying to troubleshoot problems. Even if one
aware of it, it is confusing since not
messages arrive via time warps, so one cannot simply subtract a constant offset to determine the actual time that any given message arrived. It is as if time keeps jumping backward and forward.
(Although I don't have Precise Puppy, this behavior has existed in recent Puppies, and looking at the appropriate scripts in Woof, I see no reason to think that this has changed.)
Here is what is happening:
In order to prevent timestamps from the future from being written to a partition during e2fsck, in the init script in initrd, the TZ environment variable is set to a fictitious time zone 23 hours east of Greenwich ("TZ=XXX-23"). (See Barry's blog:
Timezone in the initrd (initramfs)
So if the hardware clock currently says 12:00 noon on Monday, Linux will assume it is 12:00 noon on Monday in that fictitious time zone when init executes "/bin/hwclock --hctosys --localtime", and sets the system clock to 13:00 UTC on Sunday.
This is good. It works as intended.
But the system clock will later be reset by /etc/rc.country based upon the user's actual timezone. If the user lives in London, the system clock will be reset to 12:00 noon UTC on Monday.
Now any process that still believes "TZ=XXX-23" will believe that the local time is 11:00 AM on Tuesday.
Because syslogd and klogd were started with "TZ=XXX-23" in their environment, they still think they are living in that fictitious time zone. So klogd will send log messages with timestamps based on local time in that timezone, which will be 23 hours ahead of UTC. Messages passed to syslogd will also be logged with a timestamp 23 hours ahead of UTC, unless the caller passes its own timestamp along with the message that it passes to syslogd.
The time offset will not always be 23 hours, but will vary depending upon the user's time zone. For instance, in the UTC+1 time zone the offset will be only 22 hours. In the UTC+8 time zone it will be 15 hours. But it can be as much as 35 hours -- that would be in the UTC-12 time zone (although that time zone mostly applies only to folks visiting a few uninhabited Pacific islands or in the radio room of a ship on the high seas just east of 180 degrees of longitude
Here is an example:
In the following excerpt from a bash session I run logger to send a message to syslogd; logger knows the correct timezone and so sends a good timestamp. Then I pass a message to /dev/kmsg, which klogd finds and sends on to syslogd; klogd still thinks the timezone is "XXX-23" so sends a bad timestamp. (I am using UTC for localtime.)
# date
Fri Feb 22 13:49:26 UTC 2013
# logger "Test message via logger."
# echo "Test message via klogd." > /dev/kmsg
# tail -n 2 /var/log/messages
Feb 22 13:49:33 puppypc9902 user.notice root: Test message via logger.
Feb 23 12:49:43 puppypc9902 user.warn kernel: [771703.492205] Test message via klogd.
# date
Fri Feb 22 13:50:11 UTC 2013
The easiest way to fix it is probably to simply restore one line of code in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit that Barry added on 2010-Mar-19, but soon commented-out. This is the line:
#unset TZ #100319 busybox hwclock gives priority to this (rather than /etc/localtime) and 'init' has set it wrong.
Then, after restoring:
unset TZ #100319 busybox hwclock gives priority to this (rather than /etc/localtime) and 'init' has set it wrong.
I have not tried this, so this advice comes with no warranty, and I don't know if there might be any nasty side-effects. But I don't anticipate any, since all it does is allow processes started to use /etc/localtime, whatever that may be, or UTC if /etc/localtime doesn't exist, rather the the fictitious time zone.
Barry, I'm guessing that you commented-out that line since the time zone would soon be set in rc.country, based on the next comment in the code:
#...comment-out for now. note, TZ now set in rc.country.
If I am assuming incorrectly, and unsetting TZ caused problems, a better fix will obviously be needed.
(One minor side-effect of this suggested fix would be that any messages logged by syslogd or klogd in the few seconds before the system clock is reset -- including any in the kmsg queue -- will have a wrong timestamp. As it stands now, if the hardware clock is set to local time, those timestamps will actually be right: since both the system clock and the time zone are wrong, the two wrongs cancel each other out. With the suggested fix, during those few seconds timestamps would seem to come from the past by varying amounts of time, again depending upon local time zone, or by exactly 23 hours on first boot when the /etc/localtime symlink does not yet exist. That's assuming hardware clock is on local time. If it is on UTC, timestamps would seem to come from exactly 23 hours in the past, or by varying amounts of time on first boot when the /etc/localtime symlink does not yet exist. But it seems preferable to have the timestamps correct for all the time between boot and shutdown than to have them correct during a small fraction of the boot process.)
Of course there are alternate solutions:
The syslogd and klogd daemons could be restarted
rc.country sets the clock properly by running "00sys_logger stop" and 00sys_logger start".
Or setting the clock could be moved forward in the boot process so that it happens before those logging daemons are first started. But I don't know what complications might arise from doing that.
Here is an example of someone who ran into this timestamp problem. He reported that restoring the "unset TZ" line in rc.sysinit fixed it.
Time weirdness, reported time is 31 hours into the future
(His local time was UTC-8. 8 + 23 = 31.)

+1 thanks, have that same issue, but on a 1024x600 screen, so may need to scrollbar with less rows... keep a easy to find label tab on that fix if 11 is still too long.
The mouse freeze at first boots seems to have reappeared on the newer kernel version, maybe add a kernel command switch to adjustable timeout increase until the cause is found.
This version seems crisp, clean and more responsive. Like the choice of colors, icons and wallpaper.

About the LAPSI project
Role of HUNAGI in the LAPSI Project
HUNAGI contribution is related mainly to the Geographic Information which are produced, maintained and used in land management, including surveying, mapping, cadastre and land registration, remote sensing and serviced by relevant spatial data infrastructures. From a national economic point of view, the uniform land registration system operating in Hungary is one of the most important databases of the country. This system allows to obtain over the time updated legal and geometric data, as well as other information (e.g. on ownership, land uses, mortgages, etc.). The cadastral maps integrated into the uniform land registration system show spatial relations and references of rights, facts and other information appearing on the property sheets, serving as a basis of engineering planning for the national economy. The national spatial data infrastructure can be built on this uniform, authorized and public land registration system, in small partial modules, following the EU INSPIRE Directive. HUNAGI will participate to all Working Groups and actively take part to Working Groups 01, 03 and 04. It also makes its facilities available to host one of the thematic network seminars or conferences.

The fourth cohort of a community outreach program leading to a certificate of applied urban ministry will be offered at Niagara University this spring. Designed by representatives of faith communities in Niagara Falls and Buffalo in cooperation with the university, the interdenominational program is intended to help pastors and lay people become more effective leaders in their respective churches and communities.
The spring series of classes will start with a mandatory orientation session on Feb. 19. Classes commence Feb. 26 at 6 p.m.
Students must complete 11 courses in order to complete the final requirements to graduate. The program consists of four core courses, three courses from either the clergy or lay tract, and four elective courses.
Instructors are selected from various denominations and areas of expertise in order to bring a comprehensive view to church leadership, faith and the people who support their churches.
The only cost associated with the program is a $35 application fee. Returning students who wish to take any of the new "applied" courses in urban ministry may do so for a re-enrollment fee of $5.
For enrollment information, contact NU's Office of Continuing Education at 716-286-8181 or [email protected]. A full list of courses is also available online at http://www.niagara.edu/ce.

All eyes seem to be on David Hayter, the man behind the iconic growl of Solid Snake since he was first given a voice in the original Metal Gear Solid. He released a tweet on TwitLonger explaining the situation behind Metal Gear Solid V and why he is not going to be the voice for this outing. Aside from the very obvious scrutiny that this is under for being put into the open on April 1st, there are a few other reasons that this could all be a lie and a furthering of the troll that began long before we ever saw the trailer for The Phantom Pain.
Yeah honestly I feel bad for the guy. He IS Snake, so to lose the role people know him for after so many years is tough.
We will probably find out at launch that it was all a big hoax and he is still Snake.
Hayter doesn't need to be in the game. I know he will be missed but he this game is going to be awesome regardless of the voice actor, now if Kojima wasn't making it then that is a big problem, replacing a director compare to a voice actor is more severe.

Escape the Fire – Healthcare Documentary Film
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
I first heard about the Escape the Fire film coming out when Neil Versel posted about it on Meaningful Health IT News. I was really intrigued by the things he mentioned about the film and now after seeing the film I wasn't disappointed. The film does a good job describing some of the major challenges associated with healthcare today.
Here's the trailer if you want to learn more about what Escape the Fire is about:
For those interested in just seeing the film, you can buy Escape Fire: Fight to Rescue American Healthcareon Amazon or you can watch the Escape the Fire video on CNN this Sunday, March 10 at 8:00pm & 11:00pm ET. It's great that CNN has picked up the documentary and will be getting it out to a larger audience.
I also love that the Escape the Fire website has a place where you can "Engage the Issues" and do something in your sphere of influence to improve healthcare. The amazing thing is that we can all do something. Even if that something is as simple as living a healthier lifestyle. That will make a huge difference.
As you'll see in this movie, the problems in healthcare aren't simple. In fact, they are very complex and hard to overcome, but one of the first steps to solving the issues is understanding them. This film is a good start to helping a larger group of people understand the issues that plague healthcare.
One challenge I did have with the movie was that it felt like two videos pushed into one. On the one end was the current state of the healthcare system and the other was the military healthcare issues. While there's certainly plenty of issue overlap, I think that this could have easily been divided into two films as opposed to cramming the two subjects into one.
While I think most of the issues presented in the film aren't anything new for those of us in healthcare, it was nice to see them all laid out in one place. I'm sure I'll be thinking a lot about what's presented for many years to come.

Managing midwinter mud will pay off come spring and summer, representatives of the Pierce County Conservation District say.
The district has scheduled two January classes to help livestock owners cope with the accumulation of mud.
The Conservation District's main concern is runoff, but good practices also benefit the bottom line, said René Skaggs, director of the district's farm planning and agricultural assistance program.
Immediate concerns are animal health issues like foot rot and thrush, she said, plus the mud makes it harder to feed and care for the animals.
"Later, when it dries up, you'll have more weeds," Skaggs said. "In addition to regular pasture management classes, this 'Surviving Winter' class grabs people's attention while the iron is hot: Here's what you can do, practical tasks."
Growing more grass and fewer weeds saves money on feed and herbicides. Composting can save money on disposal and fertilizer costs can reclaim lost space.
Both presentations will be from 1-3 p.m.:
• Jan. 11 at Cenex Inc., 15824 66th Ave. NW in Purdy, the session will be led by Erin Ewald, who manages the watershed management program at the Pierce County district.
• Jan. 12 at the Graham Library, 9202 224th St. E in Graham, the session will be led by Skaggs.

Book Report: Indiana, no, make that Wisconsin Jones
When I was a kid in a small Wisconsin grade school, one of my favorite subjects was Wisconsin history, taught to me by my sixth-grade teacher, Mrs. Lily Reich.
One of our texts was a book called "Men Who Made Wisconsin" or something like that.
The book contained brief profiles of famous folks from Badgerland.
I remember that one of these folks was the fellow who bred the famous silver mink, which was the greatest mink ever known (with my apologies to PETA).
Another famous Wisconsinite was Curly Lambeau of the Green Bay Packers. Another was Babcock, inventor of the test that measured the amount of butterfat in milk produced, by Wisconsin's most famous citizens, the milch cows.
Ever since reading that book as a wee lad, I've been interested in the folks who made their way from Wisconsin, like actress Agnes Moorhead, who hailed from the Kickapoo Valley (unbelievable!) and her pal Orson Welles of Racine.
There was air ace Richard Bong from up north, and on and on and on.
One who didn't make the cut but should have is Roy Chapman Andrews (1884-1960), a kid from Beloit.
He saved money by going to Beloit College, known as the "Harvard of the Midwest," and within weeks of his graduation, was hired as a janitor at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, led the world shaking Central Asiatic Expeditions in the Gobi Desert and later became the museum's head man.
He never returned to live in Beloit, but is buried there.
Before he died, in 1943, he wrote his memoirs, "Under a Lucky Star" published by Viking Press, while recuperating from a broken leg.
Subsequently, it was named one of the 25 greatest science books of all time. He polished it off in a few months and it became a bestseller.
Back then I was 7 years old, too young to pay much attention to the New York Times bestseller list, so I'm so glad that the University of Wisconsin Press has reissued in paperback ($20) this warm and witty and also very modest account of his adventures in the Gobi Desert and elsewhere.
It places him in the pantheon of explorers and travel writers like Martin and Osa Johnson and Roald Amundsen and Lowell Thomas, the inventor of the Babcock butterfat test and countless other daredevils who have given us armchair explorers hours of enjoyment reading their exploits.
Andrews was a true groundbreaker. His exploration of the Gobi Desert was carried on with camels, of course, but also automobiles.
And here's the frosting on the cake.
According to Ann Bausum, author of the reprint's afterword, Roy Chapman Andrews is the inspiration for none other than Indiana Jones.
Too bad George Lucas and Steven Spielberg didn't call him "Wisconsin Jones" which has one less syllable but also a nice ring to it.
In 1968, Jonathan Cott was London correspondent to the fledgling new magazine, Rolling Stone.
Imagine his surprise when he was invited over to Lennon and Yoko Ono's flat for a chat and an interview. The invitation fortified the young journalist's career and sparked a friendship that lasted until Lennon's murder in 1980.
He has maintained his friendship with Yoko Ono to the present and interviewed her for the conclusion of his new book, "Days That I'll Remember" (Doubleday, $25.95).
His final interview with Lennon came just a few days before Lennon met his end outside his Dakota apartment in New York City.
There's lots of fun and not a little insight into Lennon's character in the interviews, including Lennon's assessment about the Beatles and its members' little chance of success: "None of us would have made it alone, because Paul wasn't strong enough, I didn't have enough girl-appeal, George was too quiet, and Ringo was the drummer."
Cott adds his memories about concerts he attended.
One of my favorites occurred when the troupe played a royal command performance at the Prince of Wales Theatre with the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret in attendance.
Lennon introduced the song "Twist and Shout" thusly: "For our last number, I'd like to ask your help. The people in the cheap seats, clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'd just rattle your jewelry."

This list was initially created to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The idea was to go through each Sonic game and pick out my favourite zones. Well, last year I played through 52 zones spanning the classic Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, and Sega CD games. Out of those 52 zones, I managed to narrow this list down to 20. It was grueling to replay each game, but now I can proudly present you the Top 20 Sonic the Hedgehog Zones.
An interesting list. You seem to be a fan of only the older games in the series though. Which is fine but a bit of a shame when you've missed out everything post 1996.
Also I never really liked Sonic CD, Stardust Speedway was great, but everything else was just forgettable to me.
First zone with the hidden area at the end in I think sonic 2 or 1
Its been a long time since I have play it
Also the bonus zones I liked
The bonus zones were so much fun. That I would try and get into them as much as possible after playing through a zone
so many good and fun levels
I love Sandopolis Zone, so happy thats #1

Travelling to and from hospital can be expensive, especially if you are undergoing treatment on a daily basis, over a period of weeks. The costs quickly add up, but there is help available.
Claiming a refund
If you have to travel to hospital for treatment, you may be able to claim a refund on:
- your bus or train fares
- some petrol costs
- taxi fares (in exceptional circumstances).
If you need someone to travel with you to hospital for medical reasons, you may be able to get a refund of their travel costs too.
Who can claim
You can claim a refund if you're included in an award of one of the following benefits:
- Income Support
- the guarantee element of Pension Credit
- income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
- income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Universal Credit.
You can also claim if you:
- are entitled to, or named on, a valid NHS tax

|Mark, I don't actually live anywhere near Portland but I like to sail there so try to get down when the forecast looks good. I take it you may be down there for speed week? If so that is a definite possibility.
|25th July 2014 08:23 PM
|mark h
Thanks Martin, if I'm down your way I'd love to have a few runs on the US147
You defo need to try WK some time, but best on a 30k plus westerly day if you want to see 40k plus on the dial. A few of your local guys make the trip up on a regular basis
|25th July 2014 01:49 PM
Hi Matt, as I have said before you are welcome to try my US next time we are both at Portland, I tend to sail from Ferrybridge, am guessing that you have a trailer at the OTC?
Mark, I want to come and try Kirby one weekend but would only probably come up on a windyish forecast so probably no good for you to try it but you would also be welcome if you are willing to travel down south when the forecast looks naff up north.
|25th July 2014 12:49 PM
I would seriously consider a US147 in preference to my Is137, however, I would want to be sure that I was alowed to race it
I looked at the Is127 and Is137, ultimately going for the 137 because those few cm extra length make it much more pleasant in marginal conditions.
I had 28.3kts on it with my 9.6 the other day, when I changed down to the 7.8 on my Is110 all I could manage was 27.1kts, only changed down as broke the mast on 9.6, I am not really sure what the 137 gives away to the 127. It would have been nice to see what a US147 could do in those conditions, which are cross over from the 137 to 110
When you think about it, it is really incredible what these "big" boards can do - sustaining 28kts in 15kts wind with massive sails. Maxed out on my IS87 with 5.7 on flatish water in Portland Harbour, I am only doing 37kts peak, but over 500m only 33 or 34 kts
|25th July 2014 09:50 AM
Hi Matt, they already have its called the US147, I sail it regulary with an 8.6, unless it is really choppy it wont be too comfortable but it can be done, as soon as you are always powered on the 8.6 you can pop it on your is110 like I do.
I was trying to make some of the points that Sean made earlier, it could and will become a heavy sailor only competition and do competitiors really want the hassle of lugging around a formula board and 12m sails, trying to get them on aircraft, I had trouble just taking an 8.6 abroad once!
At the end of the day it is up to the current crop of sailors to vote on this which may be sooner if there are any more light wind events!
|25th July 2014 09:13 AM
The most important thing is to make windsurfing as accessible as possible, which to me means having the smallest number of boards and sails, with the widest wind range possible.
In the past, the rule of thumb is that boards should be about 13cm appart (eg 85cm, 72cm and 59cm) If designers can extend that range to 17cm, so that you have a 92cm, 75cm and 58cm, that covers all winds from 10kts to 45kts then that would be a massive benefit to the windsurfing world
Let's consider conditions in the UK this summer, glorious sunshine, nice and hot, winds around 10 to 12kts at best. There is often not enough for me to use my Is137, but I may be able to get going on a 90+cm board. However, I want to use my big board with my 8.6 as well (which is crossover size with my 75cm board) - so can clever board designers create a 92cm board, which will work well in gusty 12 to 16 kts with an 8.6 and be as competetive as one of today's 85cm boards?
Also worth considering high wind boards. At Weymouth Slalom in May, the winds reached 45kts. I sailed both my Is101 and Is87 - only in the very extreme races, when I was totally overpowered on my 5.7 was the Is87 the best board, by the time I was on a 6.4, I was quicker round the course on the Is101. So my point here is that at the small end of the scale, a 60cm wide 90 - 95L board is probably the smallest you need for 95% of races
|25th July 2014 06:34 AM
You bring a good point about course racing, its where it all started. In lighter winds, "big slalom boards" can race up and down wind. Formula has developed to an extreme of this discipline, but no reason why an upwind/slalom down wind cant be raced on max 95 wide boards. Regulations could limit sail size to 10m as it is now, max width and if necessary tail width to keep the boards related to current slalom boards.
1 course board, 2 slalom boards with discipline being decided on wind conditions(including consistency of the wind) course adjusted tighter for lighter wind days
The light wind issues will never go away until something is done about it, PWA needs events that can be run successfully in 8 knots and above
|24th July 2014 11:42 AM
Hi Sean
That will be nice to have Formula come back but look it will way more difficult to get it due to riders first (except those who do Formula already who is very small, none of the other want this happen) and second due to their is a class already for Formula. But nothing is impossible.
Have fun in Fierte and for this time WIND will be there!
All the best
|24th July 2014 10:52 AM
Hmmmmmmm who the heck wants to do slalom in <10 knots? It's just abysmal...
What would be really cool is a return to the course racing days; keep the format 6/3 and sailors can choose to register a formula board as their lightwind board and we do upwind course racing in light winds. All the legends grew up with course racing and are still good at it - Finian, Micah, Benny, Jimmy, Steve, Gonz, Arnon, Ross, Antoine etc etc so I don't see it as a disadvantage to anyone. Could even let the sailors choose what sails they want to register (maybe 2 formula sails + 4 slalom, or 1 formula sail + 5 slalom; make the sail choice for the year really interesting).
I couldn't think of anything worse than having to compete against the big guys on 95cm slalom boards where I will take the 80cm because I'm 80kg and I won't hang on to a 95cm if it gets windy then at the same time go and throw any 85cm board ever made in to the TRASH because they don't have resale value anymore as we invent (yet another) board width class...arghh.
All this being said I wonder if he have a few windy events in a row, Fuerte/Turkey/Sylt/La Torche/New Caledonia then everyone will have totally forgotten this whole conversation ........... ?
|22nd July 2014 08:33 PM
|mark h
I think that a change in the PWA rules to increase max board width to 90x would very good for the industry. As well as events being more exciting to watch, manufactures would get a boost in board sales because many heavy amateur sailers would be replacing their 85cm to the newer 90x boards, and possibly their medium boards too (for me it would be iS90x wide and iS110 instead of iS107 and iS137).
I wonder if jimmy Diaz would be the man to talk too!!

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Frigid temperatures failed to cool the bidding during livestock sales at the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo in Rapid City.
The Rapid City Journal reports that consigners from Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota brought cattle that attracted the attention of buyers from 13 states.
Show marketing and livestock coordinator Kadee Hande says everyone was pleased with the turnout. She says some buyers stayed home because of the cold weather and called in their bids, but for the most part the stands were filled with buyers.
KEVN-TV reports that this year's bison auction also was successful, drawing buyers from more than 20 states.

Prospect Watch: Charlie Culberson
By: Noah Frank
Every year,
as the bulk of the baseball watching populous turns its collective attention to
the playoffs– culminating in the Fall Classic– a handful of experts pack their
bags and head to Arizona. No, they are not flying south for the winter, though
the mild temperatures are certainly the reason that their destination is
situated where it is. These scouts and writers are headed to the Arizona Fall League, a post-season
prospect showcase of the best the minors has to offer. At first glance, this
was not somewhere one would expect to find Charlie
Not only was
Culberson not among the top 30 prospects in the Giants' system entering 2010,
according to Baseball America, he wasn't even listed on the organizational
depth chart at second base, making his only appearance in their prospect
handbook as the fourth-string third baseman.
It's funny
how quickly a professional baseball player can put his name on the map these
days. Let's just say that whole anonymity thing isn't going to last into next
year's edition.
A career
.249 hitter with just a .312 on-base percentage through his first three
professional seasons, Culberson– still just 21– spent the year at High-A San Jose. After a lackluster April that
saw him hit just .212, he stormed out to bat .326 in May and a cool .400 in the
month of June. His overall average reached a season-high of .329 in late June,
but would tumble downwards in the second half, coinciding with the promotion of
top prospect and fellow right-side infielder Brandon Belt to Double-A Richmond.
still finished the year at .290/.340/.457 with 28 doubles and 16 home runs, his
best season yet as a professional. The Giants liked what they saw enough to
give him a shot in the AFL, a talent-rich prospect zoo where he would be thoroughly
Even with
his improvements this year, nobody could have expected what Culberson
delivered. He hit safely in his first dozen games, batting .472 (25-for-53)
with eight doubles, two triples, two home runs, 15 runs scored and nine RBI. He
racked up eight multi-hit games over that stretch, including four of three or
more hits. As of November 5th he had settled down to a .417 average,
but still leads the league in hits (30), doubles (10), and extra-base hits
(14), while ranking second in slugging percentage (.694) and total bases (50).
Never mind that he's doing all of this against the best competition available.
may still have Brock Bond above him
on the organizational depth chart at second base, but he has likely passed Nick Noonan and may well see some time
in Fresno this year. A sandwich pick out of high school back in 2007, it has
taken Culberson a little while to achieve his potential. But with Belt flanking
him at first base, the Giants have a lot to be excited about in the future of
the right side of the infield.

The Dress that REALLY got me noticed
Added Apr 3, 2013
by debycoles
George Town, Cay...
Danielle Dress – what can I say. I love you, and so do all my friends.
The day I wore this into work I felt a bit like a celebrity. It was noticed and commented on as soon as I entered reception. And all the ladies I saw complimented me on my new dress and wanted to know where I got it. When I proudly/casually mentioned that I had made it myself, by the end of the day I'd had 5 people asking me to make one for them too. And offering to pay! I think I might have finally arrived in sewing world. Does this mean I can now cast of my 'complete beginner' badge and perhaps promote myself to 'novice sewist'?
I tried very hard to be precise in my sewing with this dress because it has darts in the bodice front and back, that should line up exactly with the long shaping darts in the skirt back, and the pleats in the skirt front. The seams in the center back need to all line up exactly so the bodice needs to be precisely the same length (obviously) on each side. And the central band needs to be precise. A few mm out and things won't line up when the zip is closed at the back. I admit to unpicking and redoing those seams a couple of times until I was happy.
It worked out brilliantly, even though my invisible zipper isn't quite invisible. My adjustable zipper footdid a good job, but I'm going to get an invisible zipper foot as well for really precise results.
I didn't attempt to match the pattern on the back of the dress. This was just one challenge too much for me just yet, and I knew if it wasn't precise as well, it would show that it didn't match. So I went with a semi-match that had the swirls in a similar placement so I hope it doesn't look too out of place.
I love the way this dress is so flattering for my figure. Its slim and fitted in the back, but the empire waist and the pleats in front hide my tummy and don't over-emphasise my hips I think. And the squared off neckline has always been a favorite of mine.
This is the BEST thing I have ever sewn and I LOVE it. If you want a really good dress pattern I highly recommend Danielle. It's pretty easy to sew if you take your time, easy to fit and doesn't take a whole lot of fabric.
This was yet again another fabric remnant from my local shop. Total cost – about $5 for the fabric and $1.25 for the zipper. Now THAT is a bargain.

I love this dress! I sewn one once but with the sleeves. I was going to make myself another one but without sleeves.
I was actually wondering if you could maybe tell me how you altered the pattern to make it sleeveless? I am totally stupid when it comes to sleeves or actually altering them…
Apr 5, 2013, 04.35 PMby Madelyn H-L
This is just gorgeous! I wasn't sold on the Danielle dress, but this makes me want to run and make one as quickly as possible!
Apr 4, 2013, 10.17 AMby SassyT
It is gorgeous.!!!
Apr 4, 2013, 04.26 AMby elisana
You look gorgeous! Your description of the pros of the pattern sums up exactly what i need in a dress. The back looks absolutely fine to me. Fantastic job
Apr 3, 2013, 09.47 PMby Mary Athey
who cares about matching fabric patterns ? you look fab in this dress.its gorgeous on you and your photos are lovely x
Apr 3, 2013, 09.31 PMby liliv-1
Your dress is awesome! The fabric you used is very pretty with lovely print and color. It is really a very flattering for the tummy thing (without making a pregnant effect if you sew the pleats) I know this from my personal expirience:) The back seam of the dress is ok as well, not matched but it doesn't look bad at all. Had you thought of cutting the back dress on the fold and skip the back seam? This could be a fast way to have a continuous print.

Robert (Bob) Behrens, 86 - July 16, 2012
Robert "Bob" Behrens, 86, of Cozad, passed away July 16, 2012, at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 21, at the Berryman Funeral Home Chapel in Cozad with Pastor Doug Smith officiating. There will be no interment services.
Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Berryman Funeral Home in Cozad.
Behrens was born Sept. 12, 1925, at Cozad to Walter and Clara (Hock) Behrens. He graduated from Cozad High School in 1943.
He loved showing cattle in 4-H and had many purple ribbons and grand champion winners from the Nebraska State Fair and other events.
Following his schooling, Behrens helped his father farm for a few years before deciding to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II. During his service, he spent time in the South Pacific building airstrips and, after the war ended, he was stationed in Japan for cleanup.
Following his discharge, Behrens returned to Cozad where he started his own excavating business, based largely upon the skills that he acquired during his time in the service. Later, his father joined him in business, and the two amassed a great number of excavating jobs all over Dawson County. Behrens continued running his business until his health became prohibitive.
On Dec. 24, 1950, he married Marian Brenner at Cozad. The couple made their home in Cozad, and their union was blessed with two children, Susan and Mike.
?Behrens was a charter member of the Cozad Elks Lodge 2250, and was proud to have attended their recent 50th anniversary celebration. Despite his many ambitious work-related projects, he always placed a high priority on keeping a balance between work and his family. He valued spending time around the dinner table with his family; which was a tradition that stood the test of time.
Behrens enjoyed camping and fishing. He was an avid hunter, and especially loved hunting waterfowl. He spent a great deal of time on his land east of Darr, in his duck blinds soaking in the experience of nature. He hunted that ground for over 40 years. He also enjoyed spending his mornings routinely with his friends over a cup of coffee.
He was preceded in death by: his wife, Marian; sister, Jean Criswell; brother-in-law, Ray Criswell; and son-in-law, Ivan Soper.
Behrens is survived by: his daughter, Susan Soper of Aurora; son, Mike Behrens of Cozad; two grandsons—Jonathan and Nicholas Soper, both of Lincoln; sister-in-law, Doris (Clifford) Geiken of Gothenburg; nephew, Larry Criswell of San Diego, CA; and niece, Carole Coates of Haigler.
A memorial has been established in his memory.

We were hoping to hear something definitive about the Moto Morini acquisition early this week, and the news arrived right on schedule…but just not what we thought we'd hear. Unable to reach an agreement with the trade unions, Paolo Berlusconi's company, New Garelli, which was created specifically for the takeover of Moto Morini, has backed out of the acquisition of the historic Italian brand.
In their statement, New Garelli cites the company's inability to reach a mutual agreement with the labor unions as it's main reason for backing out of the deal. With no other buyers in the mix, and the trade unions seemingly an immovable object, Moto Morini seems destined for the dead pool. Find the company's statement after the jump.

Swiss pharmaceuticals company Novartis said on Friday U.S. regulators have given breakthrough therapy status to an investigational treatment for patients with acute heart failure, potentially fast tracking its development and approval.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created the "breakthrough therapy" designation earlier this year for medicines deemed likely to demonstrate "substantial improvement" over existing drugs.
Novartis said the FDA's decision was supported by efficacy and safety results from a late stage trial of its serelaxin, which also showed serelaxin reduced patient deaths by 37 percent at six months after acute heart failure compared to those who received standard therapy.
Novartis said late last year serelaxin was one of the most promising drugs in its pipeline, while Deutsche bank analysts said it could potentially rake in $2.5 billion in annual sales.

The Yaesu Quadra System VL-1000 high performance linear amplifier coves 160 to 15 and the 6 meter amateur bands. Combined with its matching VP-1000 power supply unit, the VL-1000 is a compact desktop design utilizing rugged MRF150 MOSFETs in a four-unit, push-pull configuration to provide 1000 watts SSB/CW output (500 watts SSB/CW/FM on 6 meters). (RF drive power is 80W for full output). Automatic band switching is provided when used with Yaesu transceivers such as the FT-1000/D/MP, FT-900/920, etc. Three year limited warranty! (Shown above with optional MR-1000 rack).
The huge 190 x 43 mm dot-matrix LCD provides a wealth of amplifier-status information, including peak power output, average power output, voltage, current, and SWR data. Another Yaesu World First feature is the panoramic SWR monitor, which displays before tuning and after tuning SWR information for points across a band, providing you with instant data regarding antenna system performance.
Twin high-speed fans, thermostatically controlled, quietly direct cooling air across the 76 vanes of the heat sink, efficiently transferring heat out of the amplifier compartment. Both the VL-1000 Amplifier and VP-1000 Power Supply have their own fan systems with independent thermostats. This product is warranted directly by the manufacturer. This product is not available for export.
The optional MR-1000 mounting rack with carry handles (shown above) provides a convenient means of stacking the VL-1000 amp and the VP-1000 power supply.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre has fired its founder and artistic director.
Andrew Paul founded the nonprofit theater company 17 years ago. He says the board of directors fired him Tuesday without warning.
For the last two years Paul has split his time between Pittsburgh and Las Vegas, after his wife got a job there.
Board chairman Eugene O'Sullivan says the theater decided it needed to have a full-time artistic director in Pittsburgh.
Paul says he prides himself on a passionate and "very high-risk vision" that has drawn critical acclaim.
O'Sullivan says Paul was a terrific leader but the season's shows will go on. The first play, "Our Class," is scheduled to open April 10.
Actor-director Alan Stanford has been named interim leader of the company.
