Post subject: Pkg 0.9.1
Subject description: cmd line pkg manager
Pkg 0.9.1
- cmd line pkg manager
Bugfix release. Even if no one wants it
*Currently* this cannot work on a woof based system.
It also therefore, does not work with ubuntu/debian repos with subdirs (/pool/c/cmus/PGKNAME)...
But that will change in the future..
Another current limitation is that only the repo currently in use will be searched for anything... I need to make it search all available repos at various points...
Changelog, #110213, ver 0.9.1:
- fixed auto enable of TAB completion, also updated stuff in /etc..
- fixed --force --uninstall-all,..
- fixed --force --install-all,..
- added --deps-all.. check all installed pkgs and install any missing deps
- added --list-repos.. now search for and list available repos
- fixes for missing repos.. default to akita
- fixed find files and dirs outside WORKDIR..
- added new repos, can use if found..
- added net_check() for downloads, repo updates + convert..
- fixed pkg -n.. faster..
- download pkg fixes in pet2sfs(), deb2pet(),pet2tgz() ..
- each repo sets the pkg exension ($EX)..
- convert a new (woof) format repofile to the old pre-woof format (wont work with ubuntu/debian/other-subdir-using-repo... yet...
- the --deb2* and --pet2* options can now take any file or valid PKGNAME (pkg found in repo)
- fixes in terminal output, and more...
pkg -r noarch <-- set to noarch repo
pkg -g pupradio <-- install the latest pupradio
pkg -ps pupradio <-- check the status of pupradio
pkg -a -ua <--- will ask to uninstall each installed package individually
pkg -ea <-- download ALL missing deps of ALL pkgs
pkg -lr <-- list available repos
pkg -r wary51x <-- set to wary5OLD repo
pkg --pet2sfs skype_static-126.96.36.199 <-- download and convert skype
, shows time taken (43 secs) to complete the above command:
# time pkg --pet2sfs skype_static-188.8.131.52
Download the package: skype_static-18.104.22.168? (y/n):

and then I have a skype SFS, didn't have to do anything
: lets download tixati and deps, combine into 1 pkg, and convert to an sfs:
# time pkg --force --get tixati

user 0m3.656s
sys 0m0.248s
# time pkg --pet2sfs tixati-1.91-full
Please wait... building SFS file..
Created '/root/pkg/tixati-1.91-full.sfs' ( 15 MB )
real 0m8.988s
user 0m8.721s

... that took 3 commands and just under 40 seconds (mostly download time!)... Without the --force option, anything already downloaded is not downloaded again.
To get this working on newer Puppy versions, you'd need to:
- support searching of woof format repo files... then..
- if woof format found in $REPOFILE, get pkg info as usual, inc subdir..
- update the download() func to support repos with pkgs in subdirs.. then..
- update the install() func to extract .deb, .tgz, .txz, .pkg.tar.gz, etc..
- and thats it i think..

Hello sc0ttman,
I am building a PC from scratch. When I get it done, I am right away installing Akita because the hardware in it will be old enough to run it.
EDIT: Also, Akita is my favorite Pup. That is another reason why I will be using it.

Thanks guys glad you like it... I might finally have a go at compiling a new kernel one day, I'm sure it's not that hard... As long as I completely copy someone elses settings who knows what they're doing... Would make sens to compile the kernel that wary 51x used I guess...

Post subject: Pkg 0.9.something...
Pkg 0.9.4
- cmd line pkg manager
..important new features options added.. plus bugfixes...
- set search for pkgs only in current repo, or all repos
- set search for deps in current repo or all
- repo fall-backs: if search for pkg/dep failed, fall back to next best repo until found..
- set ignore repo fall-back lists and get latest dep/package from ANY repo
now supports search all repos or only current repo with --repo-pkg-scope, --repo-dep-scope (affects TAB completion, --get, --download, --get-deps, etc)
pkg --set-repo akita
pkg --repo-pkg-scope all <-- search all repos, not just akita repoe
pkg -g freecell <-- should find something not in akita repo
supports fallback lists for each repo:
Pkg will search the current repo for PKG, if nothing found, will go to the next repo, and so on... defined at end of lines in '~/pkg/.pkg/sources-all'.. Each repo has its own unique fallback list.. This list gives the order to use when a search fails, and pkg 'falls back' to the next available repo... For example:
Akita="noarch common quirky wary51x wary53x dpup puppy4 slacko lucid puppy3 puppy2 slacko14"
Slacko="slacko14 noarch common wary53x wary51x akita quirky puppy4 puppy3 puppy2"
NOTE: these fallback lists are currently not complete or finished...
support disable repo fallbacks with `pkg --bleeding-edge on`
This will return the latest version of PKG from ANY repo, ignoring the fall-back order above...
I also added a `pkg --help-all|-H` option which extra help info...
I also gave parts of the code a much needed re-think and clean up.. mosty to do with the rcfile and settings repos, sources, etc..
support for URL mirrors is almost done, just needs fully implementing..
NOTE: This .pet below is ideally for Akita, but will work on any pre-woof puppy, and comes with some extra repos pre-setup to work, inc: noarch, common, lucid, slacko, slacko14, etc
Please upload your woof format 'Packages-puppy-*' files here
, and I can convert them and add them to Pkg... Also including Packages-ubuntu-* and Packages-debian-*, as Pkg cannot yet handle the subdirs, but will soon....

Post subject: akita
scottman keep up the good work you really got somethin goin with akita
running awsome on old p3 box with nvidia gf5 video card ! like i said i am gonna try some things like a diff kernel i think if it ran on some more recent hardware it would be a plus ! but i also firmly belive that maintaining the old hardware is a must ! 2 versions would be great 1 for old hardware and 1 for a little more recent hardware ! i must say that this is really a great puppy cant wait to see how far you can take it ! keep up the good work and thank you !

Post subject: Pkg 0.9.5
Pkg 0.9.5
- added support for multiple repo URLs (mirrors)
- support for 4 mirrors for each repo (in file ~/pkg/.pkg/sources-all)
- in pkg_download() func, Pkg now pings each repo mirror in turn, and if working, uses it.
- the first URL is used if working, or 2nd, and so on.. so put fastest mirrors first in the 'sources-all' file!
- fixes for check_net func, fixes for calling it
- fixed the errors when you input any bad options
NOTE: the default mirror for all repos (that I know of and added), is the nluug one, as its way faster than ibiblio..
Full help info ( pkg -H ) below:
------ Pkg 0.9.5 ------
'Pkg' is a package manager: use it to find, download & install software packages from
a variety of online sources. Pkg can also help you convert packages, build tar archives,
combine packages, analyse dependencies, and more.
You can use Pkg in the console or terminal, using TAB completion to complete package
names from either the current repo, or all repos, depending on your settings,
All files are downloaded to /root/pkg/, and all files that have been converted end up there as
well. You should ideally move any packages you create to another directory.
Settings for this program are inside the hidden folder '/root/pkg/.pkg/', which holds the info
of the current repo. This lets you limit searches to that repo only.
By default, 'Pkg' wil search only the current repository unless told to do otherwise.
'Pkg' keeps a list of 'sources' -all the available repos on your system. You can update your
sources if they change, or add more. Your 'sources' are in '/root/.packages/', and are
named 'Packages-puppy-*' or 'livepackages*.txt'
Here are the command line options you can pass to Pkg, with examples at the end.
Usage: pkg [OPTION(S)]
These two options can be used together and MUST precede all other options:
--ask|-a ask before fetching & installing pkgs/deps (give as 1st option)
--force |-f force downloading, installing and uninstalling, no matter what
These options can be used with --ask and --force, but can't be used with each other:
--get|-g PKGNAME find, download and install the latest matching package and deps
--download|-d PKGNAME download the package from an online repo, if found
--install|-i PKGNAME install a local pet package
--install-all|-ia install all downloaded packages
--deps|-e PKGNAME install the dependencies of the matching package
--deps-all|-ea install missing dependencies of all installed packages
--uninstall|-u PKGNAME uninstall a pet package
--uninstall-all|-ua uninstall all installed packages
--delete|-l PKGNAME delete a downloaded package
--delete-all|-la delete ALL downloaded pet packages!
The following options cannot be used with any others:
--all list all details of all packages in the CURRENT repo
--search|-s [SEARCH] find package info in the CURRENT repo, including category, deps, etc..
--search-all|-sa [SEARCH] find package info in ALL repos, including category, deps, etc..
--names|-n [PKGNAME] list all matching packages in the CURRENT repo
--names-all|-na [PKGNAME] list all matching packages in ALL repos
--names-exact|-ne [PKGNAME] list all EXACT packages matches in the CURRENT repo
--names-exact-all|-nea [PKGNAME] list all EXACT packages matches in ALL repos
--list-downloaded|-ld [PKGNAME] list all downloaded packages, pkg name is an optional filter
--list-installed|-li [PKGNAME] list all installed packages, pkg name is an optional filter
--pkg-combine|-pc PKGNAME build a new package containing PKGNAME + dependencies
--pkg-status|-ps PKGNAME print the status of a pkg (name, size, deps, installed or not)
--pkg-installed|-pi PKGNAME return true if the package is installed, false if not
--contents|-c [PKGNAME] list the contents of a downloaded package
--which|-w FILENAME give a filename, find out which pkg it comes from
--repo|-r REPONAME set the repo to use, use --list-repos to see whats available
--repo-info|-ri REPONAME display the name, URLs and fallback lists of the CURRENT repo
--list-repos|-lr list all available package repositories on your system
--update-repo|-ur add the latest available packages to the akita repo
--convert-repo|-cr convert a Pet-packages-* or livepackages*.txt file to pre/post woof format
--add-source add a new repo to your list of available repos (requires relvant repo file /root/.packages/)
--update-sources re-check all available repos and update the list
--repo-pkg-scope one|all search for packages in either the current repo only (one), or all repos (all)
--repo-dep-scope one|all search for package dependencies in either the current repo (one), or all repos (all)
--bleeding-edge no|yes if 'no', check for pkg/deps in current repo, then use fallback list (default).. if 'yes', get latest pkgs from ANY repo
--deb2pet DEBFILE|PKGNAME convert a local deb file or repo package to a pet package
--pet2sfs PETFILE|PKGNAME convert a local pet file or repo package to an sfs package
--pet2tgz PETFILE|PKGNAME convert a local pet file or repo package to a tar.gz package
--dir2pet DIR create a pet package from a directory
--dir2sfs DIR create an sfs package from a directory
--dir2tgz DIR create an tar.gz file from a directory
--sfs2pet SFSFILE convert a local sfs file to a pet package
--tgz2pet TARFILE convert a local tar.gz|tgz file to a pet package
--txz2pet TXZFILE convert a local tar.xz|txz file to a pet package
--version|-v show the version of this script
--help|-h show this help information
--help-all|-H show a full description, plus this help information as well
Note: With online repositories, you don't need to give the .pet file extension:
pkg -n SEARCH list all pkg names in the current repo matching SEARCH
pkg -a -g filezilla ask to download latest filezilla and ask to get all deps
pkg -a -la ask to delete all downloaded packages
pkg -a -e PKGNAME install all deps of PKGNAME, ask each time
pkg -a -d qupzilla-1.2.0 ask to download qupzilla-1.2.0
pkg -g filezilla download latest filezilla and all deps without asking
pkg -la delete all downloaded packages without asking!
pkg -e PKGNAME install all deps of PKGNAME, dont ask anything
pkg -d qupzilla-1.3.1 download qupzilla-1.3.1 without asking
pkg -l qupzilla-1.3.1 delete the downloaded qupzilla-1.3.1
Note: To install or convert local packages or folders, you must give the path (and filename):
pkg --dir2sfs /path/to/dir/ convert a local directory to a .sfs package
pkg -i /path/to/file.pet install the given pet package.. include the .pet extension!
pkg --tgz2pet /path/to/file.tar.gz convert a local .tar.gz file to .pet package
If using --pet2sfs, --pet2tgz or --deb2pet, you can also give a valid PKGNAME,
and it'll be downloaded if needed, before being converted.
Note: If the package is 'downloaded' (in /root/pkg), you won't need to give the path,
only the filename. To check if PKGNAME is downloaded, just enter:
pkg -ld PKGNAME
fixed ping stuff.. re-uploaded...

- added /usr/sbin/pkg: a clever little CLI package manager,
- type 'pkg' in the terminal to run it.. Supports:
- install local pet files, like petget
- list repo contents, names only or all info, search repo for whatever..
- auto download, install & setup the latest versions, with only `pkg --get PKGNAME`
- install pkg , uninstall pkg, get pkg deps, check pkg deps, check pkg contents,
- check install status, update repo, use multiple repos, choose which deps to get,

Hi Scottman, first time with Akita. Manual frugal install. M processor, 250Ram, and so far doing everything I've asked of it... installed Chrome and Opera, Sylpheed.
One problem, how do I get a volume control on the task bar in jwm?? I can't figure it out. (Not too bright).
Thanks for this, enjoying it. I can see you've put a lot into it.

Thanks, glad you like it... I did put a lot of time into Akita, but its my one and only OS, so I upgrade it as needed/desired...
Use 'Retrovol'... in Menu->Multimedia->Media ..
You can make it startup at every boot using the 'Startups' tool, in Menu->System->Schedule ... This tool can help you choose what you want to startup each boot...
Note: you can also do all this from the "Akita Setup" program that loads up at first boot - just click on 'sound settings', and on 'startups'...

Yeah, I do like it. And I like it even more now I have a volume control.
I should have looked harder. Looking good. Thanks for the quick reply.

I'd be delighted if you got OpenGL working in that build... It's the only thing I seem to have problems with when I make a version with a newer kernel - the DRI/OpenGL stuff usually never works... I specifically chose a wary kernel that already had nvidia and ati drivers compiled for it, but still no go... If yours has working OpenGL I'd love to know how you did it...
EDIT: If you upload your build somewhere, or each of the steps you took to build it, I'd like to test it myself actually...

Hello sc0ttman
Are you using a Woof build of your own, or the latest Woof2?
I need to know this because if it's the first, Akita would need its own langpack made from scratch, but if it's the second, the current langpacks can be used in Akita.

We can see how the collapse of the economy is affecting everyone. Something must be done. Let's talk. No, it can't wait. Things are bad. We have to work things out. We can only do it together. What do we know? What have others tried? What is possible? How do we talk about it? What are the wildest possibilities? What are the pragmatic steps? What can you do? What can we do?
We know that larger numbers of people find themselves increasingly shut out of the American "promise" of wealth and security.
The 1930s was a time of massive organizing, strikes, union activity, and dissent that forced FDR and the New Deal to the left. 2009 does not provide us with such inspiring levels of resistance.
If the 1930s can teach us one key lesson, it is the need to organize. Nothing changes when people do not engage in the long and difficult work of building a diverse, multi-cultural, working class movement from the ground up. This includes artists.

I'm an artist and a curator. I work at a small museum in the desert of Southern California.

Disney World slaps pay-by-bonk stalker cuffs on grown-ups
Cashless payments mean parents cough more cash
Disney World is going RFID, replacing tickets and wallets with pay-by-bonk wrist bands, and offering an enhanced service for those who want to be greeted by name around the park.
The basic service, MyMagic+, is an RFID wristband which identifies each punter, allowing them to store FastPasses and upload credit card details so they can buy stuff without thinking (more than $50 requires a PIN) - and so that Disney can stalk you around the park and "customise" the experience, or, more excitingly, so that Buzz Lightyear can greet you by name almost as if you really were an individual.
Radio tags in wristbands aren't new, and have replaced tickets in many parks around the US - Dolly Parton's DollyWood theme park launched (pre-paid) Sunny Money back in 2007 (making it easier to carry cash while wearing a swimming costume). But Disney's deployment in Florida (other sites to follow later) is significant not only because it is bigger than the others, but also because it will push the technology one step further than everyone else has done.
Virtual queuing is standard stuff these days, but with the My Disney Experience app (connected using the blanketing Wi-Fi), visitors will be able to schedule queuing time around meals, loo breaks and meetings with the costumed characters,. It will also ensure those characters know whose birthday it is, and let Disney know exactly how long you spent doing what.
For MyMagic+ isn't just about making it easier to spend money, though that's a significant motivation, it's also about tracking how people move around the park and what they spend time doing (queuing mostly, from our limited understanding of the venue).
All such places track crowds, using basic CCTV or more advanced tech from companies such as Path Intelligence, but that's anonymous, while Disney's approach will provide all the details.
The company is stepping carefully; the app allows granular control of what's shared at least until everyone gets comfortable with the idea of being greeted by name by a foam princess, and if it turns out that no one wants to share, it will still make spending money in the Magic Kingdom that little bit easier. ®

Microsoft, Yahoo say kill desktop gadgets now!
Ever since I purchased a new Vista-64 computer several years ago, I have enjoyed using several of Microsoft's desktop gadgets and Yahoo's desktop widgets. In recent years, I have written several columns extolling the joys of widgets and gadgets, and telling where to find them. Widgets and gadgets are small utilities that can be placed on a Windows or Mac desktop and provide the user with current information of some kind. Yahoo offered more than 6,000 free widgets, and Microsoft offered thousands of gadgets.
While I currently have many gadgets and widgets running on my desktop and continue to use them and enjoy them, I will probably have to digitally kill them in the next few days.
At the Black Hat USA 2012 hacker conference, there will be a public presentation by two hacker experts on how to take over a computer running gadgets, and this exploit will become instantly available to anyone. According to the Black Hat program Web site (www.blackhat.com), the July 26 conference will address the Windows gadget platform and what the "nastiness" can be done with it, how gadgets are made and distributed, and their weaknesses.
"Gadgets are comprised of JS, CSS and HTML and are applications that the Windows operating system has embedded by default," the site says. "As a result, there are a number of attack vectors that are interesting to explore and take advantage of. We will be talking about our research into creating malicious gadgets, misappropriating legitimate gadgets and the sorts of flaws we have found in published gadgets."
Gadgets and widgets use a type of push technology, which allows content providers to continuously send data to your desktop. The widget that I probably utilize more than any other is the excellent Yahoo widget "TV Navigator," which displays continuously updated localized TV listings and is fully customizable for TV provider (cable, satellite, off the air, etc.), favorite shows, integration with various calendar and reminder utilities, and other useful features. I also have a Wunderground gadget that displays current local weather conditions and forecasts, a gadget that shows the ever changing daily deals from my favorite "deal of the day" Web sites, a gadget that provides a near real-time display of current stock quotes and news, and a gadget that displays the real-time workload on each of the cores of my quad-core CPU chip as well as memory utilization.
While the technology is proven and well established with countless millions of users, the same push technology used by the providers has been discovered by hackers, crackers and other miscreants, allowing them to directly access a computer with widgets and gadgets installed and running. A simple analogy would be something akin to listening to your kids playing in the front yard, and having the door open; with the door open, you can hear the kids and watch them as desired. But while your front door is open, burglars can enter your house and steal your possessions. In a simplistic way, that is the problem with widgets and gadgets; since our firewalls and other protective barrier software allow the widgets to receive data via this open door, miscreants and crooks might now be coming in through that open door. Microsoft, in security advisory 2719662 dated July 10, 2012 ("Vulnerabilities in Gadgets Could Allow Remote Code Execution") is warning users to kill any widgets and gadgets that may be running and possibly never run them again. This advisory and related knowledgebase apply to all computers running Windows 7 or Windows Vista (support.microsoft.com/kb/2719662). Microsoft has shut down its extensive library of gadgets and no longer allows any to be downloaded from Microsoft, but several third parties still offer gadgets for download.
According to Microsoft, " An attacker who successfully exploited a Gadget vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights."
The answer might be to kill all of the gadgets (from Microsoft or third parties) running on a PC and prevent them and any others from ever again loading (unless explicitly re-enabled by the user). Microsoft has released a free "FIX IT" utility that can stop any of the Microsoft gadgets (and sidebars) that may be running on a Windows 7 or Vista computer, and prevent any gadgets from ever loading, thus closing and locking the door. If at some future date the user wants to re-allow gadgets, another "FIX IT" utility can resurrect the gadgets. Individual gadgets can be uninstalled by right clicking on an empty spot on the desktop, clicking on "Gadgets" and then right clicking on a gadget, and selecting "Uninstall."
Yahoo has also taken down its extensive library of widgets and no longer allows any of the widgets to be downloaded. To stop any Yahoo widgets from loading (if you are using any) simply stop the Yahoo! Widgets control utility from loading when the computer boots by using any startup manager or Microsoft's built-in Msconfig utility by unchecking the box adjacent to "Yahoo! Widgets" in the list of startup programs. Msconfig can be accessed by clicking on Start and then Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and click OK. Then click on the "Startup" tab. Stopping the widgets utility from loading will block the "push access" via that route. For maximum security, the widget utility itself can be uninstalled by going to the system utility "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstalling the Yahoo! Widget utility. Once uninstalled, you might never be able to reinstall it as Yahoo no longer offers it for download.
In the informational blog "Windows Secrets" (windowssecrets.com/top-story/kill-those-vista-and-win7-gadgets-now), Woody Leonhard said, "Microsoft invented a poison pill, disguised as a Fixit in MS Support article 2719962. You'll find two Fixit buttons halfway down the page: one to disable the Sidebar and gadgets and another to enable them (which might be useful if Microsoft provides an actual patch for the vulnerability). ... Do it now, while you're thinking about it. The Fixit doesn't take much time, but a system reboot is required to enable it. Warn your friends: This could turn into something nasty very quickly." I will be killing all of my widgets and gadgets because it is only a matter of (short) time that the bad guys will be attacking computers with this vulnerability, if they are not already doing so. I will shed a tear because I will really miss my pet widgets and gadgets that I have become so attached to. RIP, my dear widgets and gadgets; you will sorely be missed by those of us who have enjoyed your companionship for so many years. Goodbye widgets. Goodbye, gadgets.

After going AWOL for a most of this year, the Wi-Fi-enabled eStarling picture frame we told you about last January has resurfaced, and now is available for order once again from Think Geek.
Its claim to fame is its ability to subscribe to an RSS feed on the Flickr photo site, letting anyone with that account's password insert photos into the frame via the Interwebs. Could be ripe for pranksters. Plus, it can accept photos via email without needing to be hooked up to a computer.
Anyway, even though we've heard rumblings about it not working too well in its first iteration, we're hoping those difficulties have been ironed out. It's selling now for $250, and one is on the way here so we'll let you know how it works.

This question already has an answer here:
- Code block tools [duplicate] 3 answers
When you hover over code on a question or answer, it would be nice to in addition to the syntax highlighting to maybe show a link in the top right corner or something you can click on that will open a small window with just that code in it so you can copy and paste the code very easily. Or else a link/button to copy the contents to a clipboard, I believe this can be accomplished with Flash. I have seen these features on most blogs and sites that have syntax highlighting.

october weather today, and the sun is showing off the new color scheme. i once hiked cascade and porter mountains in the adirondacks this time of year, just after getting glasses and couldn't find my feet. the whole hike i was confused about where the leaf covered ground really was, since it was the same color as the brush and trees. out on top, though, the bald peak of cascade had me holding on to the ground. scary. wonderful. outrageous.
all week i have been enjoying several new books, from carol, and from rebecca goodale. i have been thinking about what IS an artists' book? what is it that makes me want to hold on to books? why is the whole concept of the haptics of books as compelling to me as the haptics of textiles? what is important about the substrate that i write, draw, print on?
i removed a piece of silk from jude and a shifu square from the viola ice flower vat. the shifu was wrapped around a bloodroot rhizome and tied and immersed in the vat. tiger pattern.
rebecca goodale is an amazing book artist who delights in color and the natural world. island dog is a modest book with a huge color and story presence. while this is a trade edition i bought through amazon, she makes small editions, mostly, about the endangered species of maine. they are books you want to get into, and i wonder how her illustrations always invite me into the book. maybe because she is a textile designer as well. a bit of that desire to wrap it around my skin.
i love how the pages open to reveal a bigger story.carol's funny funny book about menopause.
a menopausal woman. poor thing. poor pic (sorry). you get the drift, though.

Dana Outlaw was sworn in as New Bern mayor Tuesday night, replacing Mayor Lee Bettis in a crowded chamber of City Hall.
Dana Outlaw was sworn in as New Bern mayor Tuesday night, replacing Mayor Lee Bettis in a crowded chamber of City Hall.
Three new board members � Dallas Blackiston, Ward 1; Jeffrey Odham, Ward 6; and Patricia Schaible Ward 3 � also were sworn in along with incumbent Aldermen Johnnie Ray Kinsey of Ward 4, Bernard White of Ward 5 and Victor Taylor of Ward 2.
After being sworn in by N.C. Supreme Court Justice Cheri Beasley, Outlaw thanked everyone for supporting him.
The chamber at City Hall was packed with people and some were standing outside the room in the doorway.
Outlaw said during the mayoral race he talked to people throughout the city and he got one common message: Everyone loved the city �dearly.� He said his pastor reiterated that to him Tuesday and reminded him to be respectful and true to the leadership of the Board of Aldermen.
Aldermen Sabrina Bengel, who lost to Outlaw in the November mayoral runoff, left the board congratulating him and then saying she wished he would have contacted her and the other candidates in the race and asked how they could work together.
�To Mayor Outlaw, your dream has come true and may I offer my sincere congratulations and best wishes for a successful four-year term,� she said.
Bengel said she and Outlaw were close friends once, raising their children together and being there for one another during hard times with family issues and good times like when they both were elected to the Board of Aldermen in 2009.
�I remember the hundreds of phone calls we exchanged during those years, talking about making the city we both love better,� she said. �What happened? I guess it was politics because after being elected in 2009 something went wrong and to this day I will never understand why you chose the path you did. It is your right and for that I am sorry that a 33-year friendship has ended.�
Toward the end of her statement, there was an audible grumble in the audience.
Before her comments to Outlaw, Bengel thanked the people of Ward 1 for electing her to the Board of Aldermen four years ago. Ward 1 was the most diverse and challenging ward in the city with some of the richest and poorest neighborhoods that included a historical district, two waterfronts, the Housing Authority and business districts, she said.
For the last four years, Bengel said she had worked tirelessly to prepare for each meeting and know the issues. She said her decisions were never made with a political agenda, but were made in the best interest of New Bern and the majority of citizens.
�It was my hope that I would be part of the team four years ago that would work for this end and not a political end as it turned out,� Bengel said. �We did, however, accomplish many goals that I am proud to have been a part of.�
Some of those goals included improving the city�s fiscal health, making the city more personable and friendlier, improving transparency, restructuring the Housing Authority, working on the Renaissance Gateway Plan and providing 150 parking spaces downtown.
Bengel said it has been an honor working with city staff and a privilege working with Mike Epperson, city manager, and Bettis.
To the outgoing Board of Aldermen, Bengel said her intentions on the board were to do the right thing and make the city better and if some of the members didn�t believe that she was sorry.
�My hope is the �gotcha politics� will change in the coming term and you will openly discuss your concerns and issues instead of going behind closed doors with rumors and innuendoes�,� she said.
In outgoing Alderman Denny Bucher�s final statement, he said family and friends used to ask him if he enjoyed his time as a New Bern alderman.
�I don�t think �enjoying� is the correct word,� Bucher said. �There were times when it was most enjoyable. But there were also times when it was frustrating � lots of those; a bunch of times when it was satisfying, and we accomplished a lot of our goals.�
Bucher said he was glad he had the experience as an alderman for Ward 3.
�It was a piece of cake compared to the First Ward,� he said. �I was glad I had the opportunity to see how our government works, or in some cases, it doesn�t work. It is a lot different than business. There are many parallels, but there are also many differences.�
In business, you decided what you want to do and do it, unlike government where you have to vote over and over to accomplish something, Bucher said.
�It can be frustrating at times,� he said. �But I did my best to try to always vote and serve in a way that was best for the city of New Bern � the city I love.�
Bucher wished the best for Outlaw and the new board and was sure they would serve the city in an honorable way.
Bettis read proclamations as his final gesture as mayor, praising city staff and Epperson, whose last Board of Aldermen meeting also was Tuesday before his resignation takes effect Dec. 30. Bettis called the staff and Epperson �a dream team� that helped move the city forward for the past four years.
Bettis� proclamation to Bucher pronounced him an esteemed and honored citizen of New Bern, and he also proclaimed Bengel and her family honored citizens of New Bern.
The last proclamation Bettis bestowed went to his wife Nicole, who he married during his first year as mayor. He thanked her for her support and direction and proclaimed Dec. 10 Nicole Leigh Bettis Day.
Bettis also pulled minutes from past Board of Aldermen meetings that date back to 1797, and said the Tuesday night meeting would become a part of that legacy and the board needed to be aware of that.
The last four years were �absolutely transformational,� Bettis said. ��We didn�t always get along. But we did exactly what democracy is there for.�
Bettis said the changing of the Board of Aldermen and mayor was a �bloodless revolution� unique to America that happens every four years.
�There�s going to be winners and there is going to be losers and there�s going to be a change of ideologies,� he said. �Dana has a different ideology from me, and I had a different ideology than my predecessor, and that�s OK.�
A change of ideology creates fear, nervousness and anxiety, but doesn�t have to, Bettis said.
�Dana is going to come in with new ideas and it�s going to be fearful,� he said. �I came in with new ideas and it scared the hell out of lot of people.�
During the next four years, Bettis said everyone should �agree to disagree with respect� and treat Outlaw with the respect his office is due.
He said battles may need to be fought for something believed in.
�But in the end, let�s shake hands,� he said. �Let�s say I respect your effort and let�s move on.�

Private Investment and the Environment: Legal Foundations and ToolsAll Courses
As environmental problems become harder to regulate and public funds available for environmental protection decline, more people are looking to private investment as a tool for helping to improve environmental performance. This course explores the foundational legal aspects of these initiatives, both opportunities and limits. It starts with an analysis of the goals of private investors—as a way to target efforts to change their decisions. It then moves to a review of the legal frameworks within which investors operate (property and tax law), as well as the legal tools that investors use to order their activities (contract law) and that governments use to address market failures (liability, regulation, information and market mechanisms). The course concludes by examining efforts to use combinations of these legal tools to expand private investment in environmentally superior goods, services and operations.

A Festival of Postcards: Wheels
My husband and I bought this postcard in Portmeirion, Wales, during a vacation in Great Britain in 1987. The postcard does not have any writing, stamps, or postmarks on it because it ended up being an extra one that we didn't use, so we kept it as a memento. This type of bicycle was known as the penny farthing, high wheel, high wheeler, or ordinary bicycle.
Submitted for A Festival of Postcards: Wheels.
9 comments:
the design is beautiful - and I'm wondering what the questions are referring to???ReplyDelete
Thanks for participating in our Premiere Issue.
Evelyn in Montreal
So, you have been to Wales! When we are next in the UK, it is one of our destinations. We really are kindred spirits!!! Great postcard.ReplyDelete
Evelyn - The questions and answers were always featured in the opening of the TV show The Prisoner, starring Patrick McGoohan, aka No. 6, supposedly the same character as he played in Danger Man (a British series known here as Secret Agent) - John Drake - who had been imprisoned on a strange island (actually Portmeirion), probably for knowing too much. A mysterious and ever-changing No. 2 would ask him these same questions every week and these would be his same answers every week.ReplyDelete
Linda - I think you will love Wales. We did, and I can't wait to go back some day.
Nice postcard. Reminds me of a bike my older brother had when we were little. In my mind-it was like a giant tricycle. I need to ask him if it really was or if it just seemed that way to little me. Thanks for calling the memory to my mind!ReplyDelete
What a great card! Perfect for this festival of wheels.ReplyDelete
A nice picture, but I can't understand the card. What does it mean?ReplyDelete
The words are a series of questions and answers that were exchanged during the opening credits of the TV show The Prisoner, which had a sort of Kafkaesque premise - a former intelligence officer is imprisoned on a remote island (filming was actually done in Portmeiron, Wales, which has an unusual architectural history that comes across on the show as a surreal setting) for reasons unknown/unexplained and is subjected to never-ending questioning of this type to get him to confess. He tries various schemes to escape, but always ends up back on the island. Sort of an anti-authority/anti-authoritarian theme.ReplyDelete
The Prisoner! Those were the days! I used to love that programme.ReplyDelete
Hi Sheila - Yay, another Prisoner fan!ReplyDelete

No, Pearl, No!
|Pearl feigning nonchalance
She asked me to clarify the instructions on the pin cushion portion of the pattern and so I ended up making one while we were at our cabin. (Pearl was convinced it was a dog toy and would snatch it whenever I looked away.) I made two using Vanessa Christensen's Simply Style and when I got home I made another with Carolyn Friedlander's Architextures fabrics. I've also marked the quarter-inch stopping points on two more sets of squares (the most fiddly part of the process) in preparation for sewing them. If you're in possession of any of those mini-charm packs (2.5" squares), they work perfectly for this project. Making something three-dimensional was really a revelation.
