Celebrity Wedding Crashers
With paparazzi constantly looming and fans always snapping pics, there's very little stars can get away with nowadays. Of course, some things are worse than others. One of the coolest things they can do that we can't — crash weddings. Even bridezillas dig it. Here are some of those stories.

According to the BBC, a Turkish archaeologist is asking for the supposed relics of Saint Nicholas (c 270-343×6 CE) to be returned from the Italian city of Bari to his home town of Demre, the ancient Lycian city of Myra. Nevzat Çevik, archaeologist for the town, claims that the saint had wished for his bones to remain in the place where he lived, and although he has not provided any evidence that this was Saint Nicholas's true desire, it seems likely enough that a saintly bishop would want his bones to remain in the community for which he cared.
Born to wealthy parents in the Greek colony of Patara who died while he was still a child, he was subsequently raised by an uncle, also called Nicholas, who was Bishop of Patara. The boy was pious and his uncle instituted him as a Reader in his church, later ordaining him as a priest. He was appointed Bishop of Myra while still young and remained there until his death, aged around 75. During the persecution of Christians by Diocletian, he was exiled and imprisoned but returned to his diocese afterwards. He was interred in a reused Greek sarcophagus that survives in the Church of St Nicholas.
The bones were taken from his tomb in Demre in 1087 by sailors from Bari in Apulia (Italy) during the confusion caused by a Muslim invasion of what remained of the Roman Empire. The local Orthodox monks protested, but the Italians removed the bones for reasons of "security", a situation that sounds all too familiar in the early twenty-first century. A pious rationalisation of the story has it that the saint appeared to the sailors, begging them to take his bones to safety. Of course, it was only reported after the remains had arrived in Italy. One version of the story claims that most of the remains were taken to Venice, the Barian sailors keeping only an arm.
Saint Nicholas went on to international superstardom. His reputation for giving surprise gifts (based on an account of his paying the dowries of three daughters of a pauper, who might otherwise have been sold into slavery) led to his being associated with the gift-giving of mid-winter, originally part of the Roman festival of Saturnalia. There were also pagan Germanic spirits who were thought to give gifts around the mid-winter festival (the Old English Geol, modern Yule). These ideas combined in the English concept of Father Christmas. Under the guise of Sinterklaas, the Dutch version of Saint Nicholas, he entered the multi-ethnic American tradition as Santa Claus. The all-pervading nature of American popular culture during the twentieth century exported the utterly ahistorical Santa Claus around the world, to the ridiculous point that there is now a statue of a fat, white-bearded man dressed in red in the centre of Demre.
Yesterday (28 December 2009), the Turkish government issued a formal request to the Italian government for the return of St Nicholas's bones. What is the purpose and what are the motives for doing so? Seen in its wider context, this is part of two issues: the "repatriation" of the remains of indigenous peoples taken by colonial powers for "scientific research" and the return of antiquities looted by the same colonial powers. Now, these are serious moral issues to which there are no easy answers. Yes, the colonial powers often behaved abominably towards their subject peoples and sought to control not only their lives but also, in some cases, their dead remains too. Nevertheless, there were scientific advances in physical anthropology from the study of their remains, although that does not excuse the removal of those remains. However, does this mean that all human remains should be returned to the people who claim descent from or cultural affiliation with them? While it may be difficult to argue that the government of the United Kingdom ought not to return the bones and artefacts of, say, Australian aboriginal groups, who have a strong moral claim to those remains, should bones from a Romano-British cemetery be handed over for disposal to a neo-pagan group making similar demands? I think that most people can see that this is rather less reasonable a case.
So where do the bones of Saint Nicholas of Myra fit in? They were not looted by a colonial power (the medieval Italian states had no control over the Roman Empire of Byzantium except during the awful Fourth Crusade), nor were they taken for scientific reasons. They were taken because of the medieval superstition about the power of relics. Many Christian and Muslim sects have still not abandoned the belief that relics have magical properties, allowing the believer closer access to their chosen deity. In the case of the bones of St Nicholas, the magical power, one suspects, is related to tourism. They will act as a magnet for Demre, not for religious reasons but for what seems to have become the new True Meaning of Christmas™: commerce.

Here at Ars Technica, we've had some recent personal experience with how Nintendo's DRM schemes can get in the way of using downloadable titles on new hardware. And now, new details about how the Wii U's Virtual Console will interact with previously purchased titles has us wondering.
As announced last week, the Wii U Virtual Console is a completely separate beast from the one on the Wii. It includes new features like independent play on the touchscreen GamePad, customizable controls, and a connection to the Miiverse social forums. If you want these new features on a game you already bought and downloaded on the Wii, you'll have to pay a small upgrade fee: $1 for NES games or $1.50 for SNES games.
All in all, this could be worse. Sure it's a bit galling to pay again for a downloadable game you already own, but at least Nintendo isn't charging the full price of $5 to $9 for previous purchasers. Plus, you do get some new features for your outlay.
But there's a catch to this upgrade process. As Nintendo recently confirmed to Kotaku, save files associated with your old Wii downloads won't be transferable to the new version downloaded for the Wii U. Even if those save files are sitting on your Wii U, transferred over from an older system, they can't be used by the "upgraded" version of the game. There's probably some arcane technical reason for this distinction, perhaps related to the onerous DRM Nintendo places on its downloadable games, but the specifics don't matter too much if you want to continue your old games on the GamePad.
Of course, players can still play their old save files by going into the Wii menu and hunting down the original download, transferred over from the old Wii. But that version won't have the new features they've paid for. And considering these consumers have now paid to download this game twice, asking them to start the upgraded version over from scratch is a bit insulting. Imagine if a PC game maker released an expansion pack or patch that allowed a popular game to work with newer hardware but made it so all old save files didn't work if you upgraded. It seems exceedingly unlikely—players would be rightly angry.
Yes, many classic NES and SNES games aren't really long enough to depend on save files, which lessens the practical impact of this issue. Still, it continues a pattern of DRM and versioning decisions that make it clear you're not fully in control of the games you download from Nintendo.

Many prospects to report early to mini-camp
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Several of the club's top prospects are scheduled to report to Osceola County Stadium on Sunday in advance of a mini-camp that will begin Monday. The group will work out each afternoon until the full Minor League workouts begin in early March.
Among the pitchers participating in the camp are right-handers Travis Ballew, Michael Feliz, Lance McCullers Jr., Brady Rodgers, Andrew Thurman, Vincent Velasquez and Kyle Weiland. The position players include catchers Brian Holberton and Roberto Pena, infielders Nolan Fontana, Tony Kemp, Chan Moon and Rio Ruiz and outfielders Teoscar Hernandez and Brett Phillips.
Astros director of player development Quinton McCracken said the camp will feature some of the top arms in the organization, some players should who could fill in on the Major League side and pitchers who could be headed to a full-season club for the first time so they can get stretched out and get a jump start of learning throwing programs and working with new stuff.
"We've had a third of the guys show up already," he said. "It's been a nice surprise to have guys eager to get the season underway."
The mini-campers, unlike last year, will play five to seven games against other teams.
The full Minor League Spring Training begins for pitchers and catchers when they work out for the first time on March 3. Position players will work out beginning March 7.

Summit County attempting to seize private parcel by eminent domain
Attorneys participated in a status conference Monday, Jan. 13, in Summit County District Court to provide an update about a land dispute between Summit County government and a local property owner.
The case, which is being argued before 5th Judicial Court Judge Karen Romeo, was launched by Summit County in an attempt to seize by eminent domain a 10.3-acre parcel known as the "Hunter Mine" from its owner, Andy Barrie.
Barrie, originally from Lake Forest, Ill. — a northern suburb of Chicago — purchased in December 2011 the Hunter Mine parcel, which is located in unincorporated Summit County south of Breckenridge. He and his wife, Ceil, purchased the property and an adjacent home with the intention of expanding their family business to Colorado and moving to the area full time.
The Barries own Uncle Dicks LLC, a company that manufactures holiday wreaths, which they then sell to nonprofit organizations all over the world to be used in fundraising efforts. The Barries operate five plants for their wreath-making business, three in the Midwest and now two in Colorado.
The Barries were particularly drawn to the Hunter Mine parcel because of its natural character, as well as an old mining cabin and vast amounts of bristlecone pine trees located on the property, Andy Barrie said last week. The Barries plan to harvest felled bristlecones and tree bows for their holiday products.
But the Summit County Commission, through the county attorney's office, has launched a court battle to condemn the Hunter Mine property and seize it by eminent domain for public open space purposes.
The county's argument for condemning the property revolves around a recent discovery that the old mining cabin was improved upon by the previous owner without proper county building permits. County officials also have touted the parcel for its outstanding biodiversity significance and for being an important travel corridor for carnivorous species, such as the Canadian lynx and wolverines, that needs to be protected from commercial operations.
"What we're seeing (from the Barries), in terms of commercial usage, don't meet the county's goals of preservation of open space," said Brian Lorch, director of the Summit County Open Space & Trails Department, last week.
The Barries contend they were unaware of the previous owner's actions and argue the county decided to litigate on the basis of condemnation to avoid addressing the real issue of access.
Although the Barrie's home is easily accessible by private roads, the Hunter Mine parcel can only be accessed by an old mining road. Because the Hunter Mine parcel is surrounded by United States Forest Service land, known as an inholding, the old mining road meanders through public and private property. The Barries had been accessing the Hunter Mine by using an all-terrain vehicle.
But in February 2012, a forest service official informed the Barries that they could not use their ATV to access the Hunter Mine, citing motorized use of the mining road was prohibited under the White River National Forest's Travel Management Plan, which went into effect in 2011.
The Barries first tried to petition for access to their property with the forest service but backed off because the process is time consuming and expensive, Andy Barrie said. They then turned to the county to recognize the mining road, constructed sometime in the 1890s, as a county road under federal Reserved Statute 2477.
R.S. 2477 was enacted in 1866, during a period when the federal government promoted settlement of the American West, said Eben Clark, the Barrie's attorney. It was a primary authority under which many state and county highways were constructed over federal lands.
R.S. 2477 was repealed under President Gerald Ford's administration with the passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. Although the Act repealed R.S. 2477, it did not terminate rights-of-way previously conveyed under R.S. 2477.
With federal statute on their side, the Barries met with county and forest service officials in June of last year. The Barries thought they were attending a meeting to discuss a compromise that would allow them motorized access to Hunter Mine.
However, the county offered to purchase the property and threatened to seize it by eminent domain if the Barries didn't sell, Andy Barrie said. The Barries declined two offers from the county of $30,000 and $50,000. The Hunter Mine parcel is valued at $36,034, according to Summit County Assessor's Office records.
"I've never dealt with such devious people, and I'm from Chicago — I know a shakedown when I see one," Andy Barrie said. "I was brought up to fight the good fight, and to me, this is a good fight."
Summit County attorney Jeff Huntley defended the county's action to acquire the Hunter Mine by eminent domain by saying the access issue led to the discovery of the old mining cabin's unauthorized improvements. The issue of access is therefore linked to the decision to condemn the property, he said.
"Mr. Barrie may want to keep this in the realm of access, but the issue came to our attention because they were violating the White River National Forest's Travel Management Plan," Huntley said. "That rolled into other issues of public access and the fact that the cabin is not in harmony with the surrounding property."
Although Clark believes the Barries have a strong case of ensuring future access to Hunter Mine under R.S. 2477, he said of greater concern are the actions of the county to acquire the parcel through eminent domain.
According to court records, the Summit County Commission approved the decision to acquire the parcel by eminent domain during a special meeting on Oct. 25, 2013. The Barries were not made aware of the meeting, Clark said, and there are no records of the meeting on the county's website.
"Eminent domain is one of the most onerous powers of government, and the electorate has the right to know the direction the commissioners are taking," Clark said. "We are supposed to have access to the people we elect, but this was not conducted in the light of day; it was not conducted in an open and honest manner."
The county has until Friday, Jan. 24, to respond to the Barrie's argument of accessing Hunter Mine under R.S. 2477. Another status conference is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 29, at which point Clark expects the case will be set for a hearing.
"The bottom line is the Barries don't want money; they want their property," Clark said. "We're not asking for an open public road, and we're not asking the county to construct a highway. We're just asking for one person to be able to use his ATV to access his own property."

Pebble 1.0 BETA - simple bootsplash program
Subject description: Supports 2.14, 2.14R, 3.00, 3.01, and 4.00 - 4.12
Changes since 0.95:
* now notices when there is no framebuffer and disables itself
* now works with 2.14 and 2.14R
* now statically compiled
* dropped support for all file types but .jpg (cuts size down a bit)
* implementation on full-hd installs is simplified
Pebble 1.0 -
Pebble is a very basic boot splash system. It can be disabled with the boot option
, but there isn't a hot-key to disable it while it's actually booting. Pebble does log the output that is being hidden, and stores it at /tmp/boot-text.log (ignore the ending line about shutting down "worm", that's a harmless glitch (worm is the daemon I wrote that does the input logging)). It does not have internal support for progress bars, but they can be implemented by using staged animation (Make stage_1 an image of a 0% bar, stage_2 and image of a 20% bar, etc., then just incriment the stage at key points. Not ideal, but it works.) One more thing not supported is split screen. Also, you might be wondering about a shutdown screen. I don't have the time to fully add that, but I did include basic support that someone could use to create a shutdown screen from. I'll explain that later.
Those non-supported things I mentioned are on my long-term to-do list, but will not happen in the near future. Don't bug me about them unless you can give me strong motivation, on the order of a year's supply of free Candy Corn, no questions asked. Otherwise, I have more important things to deal with (like paying for college, or sleeping once in a while).
Installing Pebble:
Installing Pebble involves modifying your initrd.gz file. Because of this, I can't just provide a dotpup. What I can do is provide pre-set initrd.gz files for a couple versions of Puppy, and hopefully enough documentation and examples for you to modify things yourself for other versions (I did try to make it as simple as possible when writing Pebble though, because I know the installation can be a pain. And I have to install it over and over for testing purposes!).
For this guide, I will assume you're running Puppy 3.01. I'll also provide packages for 4.00, 3.00, 2.14, and 2.14R 1.0.1, and these instructions will work for those too (just change 3.01 to 3.00 or whatever in any directions I give). For other versions of Puppy, read this anyways to get an idea, then read the section afterwards for technical details. But be warned: you'll probably need to compile the kernel modules and modify the boot scripts yourself.
Okay, first things first. Download pebble_p301-0.95.tar.gz from the bottom of this post. Extract it somewhere (clicking it should bring up a gui, but I prefer just opening a terminal and running
tar -xf pebble_p301-1.0.tar.gz
). It should spit out two things: a new initrd.gz file, and a petget titled "pebble_postinit-1.0.pet". We'll start with the easy part: Click pebble_postinit-1.0.pet to install it. That will install several things you'll need, including slight tweaks to some system scripts.
: This will modify /etc/rc.d/rc.country, rc.country-PUP217, rc.local0, and rc.sysinit. If you have any custom changes to those files, back them up and manually apply those changes to the new versions (or the reverse, whichever you prefer). Tkdiff is very handy for this purpose
Okay, next you need to install the new initrd.gz and alter your boot commands. This part is going to be different for each person, though I'll try to cover as many situations as I can. I'll devote a section for each situation, but first I need to explain something common to all: the frame buffer. Specifically, how to set it. It uses the boot option
where ### is either a number or
is what it defaults to when you don't use this option. Otherwise, it will be the mode that corresponds with the number. Different modes have different color depths and resoultions. For this guide, I will use
, which is 640x480x64k. You're free to use whatever you want, but keep in mind that Pebble does not scale images yet, so make sure you set it appropriately for the theme you use (using too big a resolution won't hurt, the boot image will just be centered in the middle, surrounded by black). The default theme included with Pebble uses 640x480. The monkey theme is 800x600 (vesa=788). Also something to note: whatever you set will also apply to Puppy's CLI. It won't affect Xwindows, but when you drop out to the commandline, you'll have whatever resolution you use here.
no framebuffer: vga = normal
1024x768x64k: vga=791
1024x768x32k: vga=790
1024x768x256: vga=773
800x600x64k: vga=788
800x600x32k: vga=787
800x600x256: vga=771
640x480x64k: vga=785
640x480x32k: vga=784
640x480x256: vga=769
If you need any other modes, a quick web search can probably turn them up.
Now that that's out of the way, on with the installation.
If you use Puppy as a LiveCD, you will need to edit the Puppy iso to add the new initrd.gz file. Isomaster is a program that can do this, which is included with Puppy. Just use it to delete the old one, then plop in the new on I provided.
You also need to modify the isolinux.cfg file that is within the iso. Probably, you'll have to do that by extracting it from the iso, editing it, then putting it back in. Find the line that looks like this:
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd
Change it to look like this:
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd vga=785
(Don't change it to look exactly like that, just add the
part. The rest of the line will vary from machine to machine)
Okay, that should do it. At this point you should have a new iso file. If all went well, you should be able to just burn that to a disk and boot. If not, let me know exactly what you did, and post a copy of your isolinux.cfg (please put it within the [code ] [/code ] tags, it's easier to read that way).
My sincere apologies, but I don't know how to do it with this yet. I think you might be able to follow the directions above for LiveCD to create a new disk with the boot splash (burnt open for multisession), then remove your normal disk from the drive, insert the new disk, and just let Puppy save to that like it was the original. I suspect that will work, but I'm not certain. One of these days I'll have to test it, unless somebody can confirm that this works.
Frugal/Full HD
I'm going to assume you use Grub. If you use Lilo, add the vga=785 option to the append line of lilo.conf, and make sure you run lilo after you finish everything.
Okay, first you need to add the new initrd.gz file (skip this if you have a Full HD install). Where you put it depends on how you're system is set up. In my case, I have initrd.gz at /mnt/home/boot/puppy301/initrd.gz. You should know where it is on your computer, otherwise use
find / -name initrd.gz
to find all initrd.gz files on your system, and determine which one to replace. Once you have it located, just delete or rename it, then drop in the new version.
Second step: Dig up your menu.lst file, which for me is at /mnt/home/boot/grub/menu.lst. Find the line that looks like this:
kernel /boot/puppy301/vmlinuz PMEDIA=satahd
Change it to look like this:
kernel /boot/puppy301/vmlinuz PMEDIA=satahd vga=785
(Don't change it to look exactly like that, just add the
part. The rest of the line will vary from machine to machine, and from full-hd to frugal-hd installs)
Now it should be finished. If all goes well, a reboot will start you up with a nice refreshing splash instead of text. If not, let me know exactly what you did, and post a copy of your menu.lst (please put it within the [code ] [/code ] tags, it's easier to read that way).
Okay, first you need to add the new initrd.gz file. Mount your USB drive. The old initrd.gz file should be right there. Just back it up somewhere and drop in the new one.
Next, edit the syslinux.cfg file. Find the line that looks like this:
default vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash
Change it to look like this:
default vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash vga=785
(Don't change it to look exactly like that, just add the

Technical Details
You can skip this if you don't care how it works. If you're interested in themeing, you'll want to read this. Also usefull if you want to add Pebble to a version of Puppy I haven't provided a package for.
Okay, here's the brief overview of how Pebble works. There are three key programs: /bin/pebble-daemon, /bin/pebble, and /bin/worm. You don't need to be concerned with /bin/worm, that's just the daemon that takes care of the input logging (logged to /tmp/boot-text.log). You never interface with it directly - it's controlled by /bin/pebble. /bin/pebble-daemon is the program that does the actual work of displaying the images. It is not controled directly either though, as that would be tedious. Instead, /bin/pebble is the main interface point, but since the name "pebble" isn't very descriptive, it is symlinked to /bin/bootsplash, which is how I call it in all the files I've provided. It is required that you use /bin/bootsplash rather than /bin/pebble, because I also added a symlink /bin/shutdownsplash, and /bin/pebble detects which one you use. The only difference between them is using /bin/shutdownsplash gets the theme from /etc/pebble/theme_shutdown rather than /etc/pebble/theme. This is to allow you to set up a shutdown screen, though I don't currently support that feature. If you want the shutdown splash, you'll have to modify the shutdown scripts appropriately yourself, because I don't have the time to do it, nor to explain it. The commands are the same as for a boot-splash though, but with
instead of
. That's all I'm going to discuss about it. From here on, I'm talking about the bootsplash.
So to start the daemon, you'd call
bootsplash start
, and to stop it, you'd do
bootsplash stop
. I'll go ahead and list all the options you should be using at this point (there are more if you read the scripts and sources, but they're leftovers from various other schemes, which I've neglected to delete in case I need them again):
bootsplash start
This starts the daemon. It should only be used at the very beginning, to start things up.
bootsplash pause
This pauses the daemon and restores the normal screen output. You need to use this command before places in the boot process where things need to be shown to the user, such as the keyboard wizard, choosing a save file, etc.
bootsplash resume
This resumes the daemon where it left off, after a pause. Do NOT use this after a switch_root! (that uses revive)
bootsplash switch_root
This is necissary before Puppy does the switch_root or pivot_root. It hibernates the daemon (saves the current state and frame, then shuts down without adjusting the display), and moves any important files (like the pipe) into the new filesystem. Note: This needs to be run before /proc and co. are unmounted (several lines above the switch_root, no biggie)
bootsplash revive
This is what you use in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to start the daemon back up after the switch_root. It will load the previously saved frame and stage and continue where it left off. (In a full-hd install, there never was a swicth_root, so in that case this command will run some special full-hd install only setup things). This command must be run
/proc has been remounted as rw. You can go ahead and move the text to below this though, and redirect it to /dev/console if it isn't already.
bootsplash next
This one increments the stage. (This does not "overflow", so if you have more next's than you have stages, it will just ignore the superfluous calls).
bootsplash previous
This decrements the stage, and is "underflow" safe the same as bootsplash next.
bootsplash stop
This shuts down the daemon and restores the normal output. It gets used at the end of the boot process (I reccomend /etc/rc.d/rc.local0).
In case you're wondering about the stages, it's basically support for multiple animations. See the section on theme format for more info.
These commands will mostly be in the /init (or /sbin/init for 2.xx) file of the initrc.gz file. There are also some in /etc/rc.d/rc.country, rc.country-PUP217, rc.local0, and rc.sysinit, at least in Puppy 3.01. In other versions you'll need them in other spots. Usually you'll want the
in rc.local0 though.
Just adding all these commands isn't enough though. Puppy needs to have the frame-buffer enabled for this to work. That's easy enough, just boot with the vga=785 option. However, you'd find that doing that alone would render all CLI text invisible. This is because you need to load the fbcon module for the console to output to the framebuffer. Puppy doesn't have that module by default, so I compiled it myself, and added a line in /init to modprobe it (which was nice compared to in older Puppies that didn't have modprobe in initrd.gz, so you had to use zcat piped to insmod on fbcon and all its dependant modules, which was kind of ugly).
And that sums up most all the changes I had to make.
If you want still more info, you can compare the packages I provided with the standards. Also, I uploaded an extra package that contains the originals of all the modified files, along with the source and all the extra modules. I apologize in advance about the source being kind of messy and undocumented. I worked off of the nifty FBV image viewer app to avoid having to immediately write my own image processing rutines (I do plan to do that eventually). Unfortunately, the author of FBV didn't seem to be fond of commenting his code. Also, I haven't gotten around to cleaning up the src directory, so you'll find that the ./configure script is broken. It isn't needed anyways, just use make. Any documentation or license info in there is also the original stuff. Mostly the only things I've altered are main.c and the make file. The original source should be available online, just check his old documentation for a link. If not, I should have it on my drive somewhere. (I fully intend to clean everything up soon, but I'm a pretty busy guy and cleaning is low on my priority list).
Theme Format
First off, the only supported image format is now .jpg. You could recompile it with .png and .bmp if you felt like it, and probably even .gif (but not animated .gif files). You'd have to modify the config.h and Make.conf files appropriately, and by hand (./configure is broken ATM).
Okay, now to explain how this works. So far, it isn't very complex. When Pebble starts, it reads /etc/pebble/theme to get the name of the theme to use. Then it reads /etc/pebble/<theme_name>/theme.conf to get the configuration. So if you have
set to
it will load /etc/pebble/paw_fade/theme.conf.
The theme.conf files look like this:
ram_glutton false
fps 20
images stage_1
loop true
loop_start 13
fps 30
images stage_2
loop false
This is a very simple example (though they don't get much more complicated). It has a single stage, looped, at 40 "frames per second". I quote that, because it isn't exact and will actually run a little slower than that (improving that is on the to-do list).
Before I continue, I should explain what a stage is. They are basically a method to have multiple animations, so that you can update things throughout the boot process. Each stage is one animation, and they're stored in the order defined. When you run
bootsplash next
it will move on to the next animation in the sequence, and
bootsplash previous
goes to the previous animation. In this way, you could implement a loading bar. You'd set the first stage's image to be an empty bar, the second stage's as a 10% bar, the third's as a 20%, etc. Then incriment it every so often within the boot scripts.
It's not as robust as I'd like yet, as it can only be incremented and decremented. You can't just tell it to use stage 4. I'll improve it some day, but it's not high on my priority list.
Okay, so now that that's clear (hopefully), I'll explain the file on a line-by-line basis:
ram_glutton false
This can be set to either
. It's essentially an option to make a tradeoff, of ram for speed. If you leave it set to false, Pebble will load only one image at a time. When it goes to the next frame, it unloads the old image and loads the next. This can be a little slow. Enabling ram_glutton will cause it to load every single frame (in every single stage!) right at the beginning, and keep them loaded until it's shut down. That means it might take a little longer to start up, but then it will run more quickly and without eating as much CPU time. However, this uses a LOT of ram, as the images are stored completely decompressed within ram. If you have, say, a 40 frame animation using 800x600 jpg images, it can easily use 50+ mb of ram. Thus why it's optional. You should enable it for small animations, especially if it's just a single frame (no such thing as static, just animations with a single frame), otherwise that same image will keep getting loaded and unloaded, which is pretty stupid.
This initiates a stage section.
fps 20
This sets the framerate for the stage, in "frames per second" (yes, each stage can have its own framerate). The actual framerate will be slightly little lower than this, but with version 0.9 it should be pretty close now. You probably shouldn't go higher than 60 either, due to monitor refresh rates...
images stage_1
This one is important. It sets the location to look for the stage's images. How it works is like this: "/etc/pebble/<theme>/<stage_image_option>/*", so if you're using the theme paw_fade, the images this refers to would be at /etc/pebble/paw_fade/stage_1/. Now I need to explain how animation works. Basically, it just goes through all the files in that directory in alphabetical order. So it's best to name them as 0000.jpg, 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, etc. so that you ensure they get played in the correct sequence. (Starting with 0 and working up will help when you get to the loop_start option...)
loop true
This sets whether it loops or not. If you set it to false, it will just play through the sequence once, then stop on the last frame.
loop_start 13
This one only applies if looping is true. It sets which frame (numerically) starts the looping sequence. So in this case, it will play through the entire sequence of frames once, then after finishing the final frame it will warp back to frame 13, then continue through the sequence, always looping back to 13 after it finishes. This is a good way to have an "intro" effect, like the fade-in that the paw_fade uses. In that case though, it has looping set to false, since it doesn't change after the fade. But with this option, you could have it fade in, then have an animation afterward. Then using loop_start would be handy, so you wouldn't have to keep re-playing the intro.
And please take note: This goes by number, NOT filename. It doesn't care if an image is named 13.jpg, m.jpg, or Zeratul.jpg, so long as it comes 14'th when they're put in alphabetical order. No, that isn't a typo. I'm indexing from 0, so the first frame is 0, the second is 1, etc. This is why I suggested naming your images starting with 0000.jpg. If you don't like it, hey, this is open source. Just go add a +1 in the appropriate place, recompile, and add the new binary to /bin in initrd.gz and the normal filesystem.
This ends the stage section.
Then it just goes into another stage section. As you can see, you don't do anything special like numbering the stages. Just define them in order. Also, you can have multiple stages pointing at the same location for images. That might come in handy if you want the first and last sections the same, but need something different in the middle. Or if you want to alter the looping or framerate mid-way through.
And, that's a theme file.
Adding a new theme
If you want to add a new theme, you'll need to edit the initrd.gz file and add it to the relevant place (etc/pebble/). Don't forget to set etc/pebble/theme to contain the name of the theme. During the boot process, any new themes will automatically be copied from initrd.gz into the save_file, as long as they don't already exist (currently, it will not overwrite any existing file other than /etc/pebble/theme, though I plan to improve it so it can tell which files are newer). If you use a Full-HD install, you can actually just install the theme in the main filesystem since you have no initrd.gz file.
To edit initrd.gz, open a terminal in the same location as it (make sure it's a linux partition), and run this:
mkdir initrd-tree
cd initrd-tree
zcat ../initrd.gz | cpio -i -d
That will make a directory
that contains the contents of the initrd.gz file. Go inside and edit away. When you're finished, from inside the initrd-tree directory, run these commands:
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd.gz
That will replace the old initrd.gz file with the new one. Now just copy that into the correct place, and you're good to go!
Note: There may be an error/difference with Puppy's cpio program, resulting in an absurdly large initrd.gz due to dereferencing symlinks. There are a couple solutions. The simplist is to use the dev package I provided below. It includes a script you can just click to build the new initrd.gz file. Make any changes in the new-initrd-stuff directory, and click the
script. Or, you could just overwrite Puppy's cpio with the one included in the dev package, then follow the first set of instructions I posted. If you happen to have the unleashed-core installed for Puppy 3.xx, you could also steal the cpio program from the boot/ directory of it, as that's the same one I used.
The pre-packaged packages are named pebble_p
-1.0.tar.gz, where
is the version (214, 301, etc).
People who want to make a remaster using Pebble should also grab the packages named pebble_inst
-1.0.tar.gz. What they contain are updated versions of the puppyinstaller and grubconfig scripts. That way when someone runs the installer, it will offer choices to configure Pebble too. The package for Puppy 3.01 will work fine in 3.00 too (puppyinstallyer only had minor changes between versions, and grubconfig had none) so I didn't make a 3.00 only package.
This is the developer package, which includes everything in the above packages, along with original scripts and the source.
In the 400/ 300/ 301/ 214/ and 214R/ directories, you'll find these directories:
along with this script:
Clicking that script will create a directory "initrd-tree" and populate it with the combined contents of initrd-tree_ORIG and new-init-stuff, then build a new initrd.gz file. You can use that as an easy way to modify things. The z_ORIG_SCRIPTS/ directory has the original versions of the scripts I modified (other than init, which is in initrd-tree_ORIG/). The pup_xxx/ directory is the same as the "postinit" package, and the unleashed_extras/ directory has the install scripts from the other package.
There are two source directories: pebble_src/ and worm_src/. They have the source of worm and pebble_daemon. You can build them with 'make'. DO NOT run ./configure for pebble, as I have not modified that script to work properly and you'll probably break something. The readme and changelog in the pebble_src/ directory are also still the originals from fbv. I'll clean all this up someday...
The generic/ directory holds the pebble script and binaries of pebble_daemon and worm. There is a 'populate' script inside which will copy those files into the /bin directories of the new-initrd-stuff/ and pup_xxx/ directories for all puppy version directories. Otherwise it can be troublesome to keep them all syncronized when I start tweaking things.
The zz_packages/ directory contains a script which will assemble all of the packages I linked to above. I used to do it by hand when I only supported one or two versions of Puppy, but that started to become tedious so I set this up.
Note: The dev package also contains UNTESTED files for 3.02. I haven't even tried to boot that so I have no idea if it works.
Have fun

For anybody who wants to use this in conjunction with the prettysyslinux thing I set up here:
Install Pebble FIRST, then install prettysyslinux SECOND (using the Pebble version of the scripts!).
You can always re-install the prettysyslinux package over Pebble if you installed it previously (and should now anyways, because I updated it tonight). It won't hurt anything.
Techinically, you only need to install the puppyinstaller script after Pebble, because that's the only file that overlaps.
And in case it isn't clear above, the dev package for this version of Pebble does include modified scripts for Puppy 3.02, but I haven't tested those. I haven't even installed 3.02 at all.

If anyone downloaded this already, as of 02:00 GMT-5 Feb 16 2008, you need to redownload (unless you only care about 2.14/2.14R). Just a small tweak to fix a "done" that would appear in the image right after the switch_root.
If you want to correct that yourself, just edit the etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script and find the part right after all the functions where it checks if there's an /initrd directory, and move that chunk of code down below the "pebble revive" and above the "Now executing rc.sysinit" part.

Not being sarcastic or anything. That is a reeeaallly long post.
Also, if the machine is having trouble with the framebuffer you might need to use
vga=normal pfix=nosplash
EDIT: I went back and bolded the option in the original post. That should help a little.

Wonder if this is the project you were looking at last year that went on the backburner? And will it work with earlier puppies? I ask that because I've no choice but to install nothing later than 2.10pro/2.11 on some boxen that have Intel810 or SIS chipsets. My customisation is geared around 2.10pro/2.11 and also 2.02r2 as a result.
And I have been looking for 2.14r and can't find an ISO anywhere to download through searching the forums and the many websites

Probably, but I have so many projects on the back burner that I need a new kitchen. I did start working on it back in fall 2006 and in spring 2007, then back in fall of 2007.
As for other Puppies, theoretically, but you'd probably have to recompile the kernel modules unless they use 126.96.36.199. You'd definitely have to modify the init scripts by hand. Comparing the ones I included for 2.14 against the originals from 2.14 (which I also included) using TkDiff or GtkDiff would help explain what to do better than anything I could write up. Mostly you just have to find anyplace where you need the user to see output and add a
bootsplash pause
before and a
bootsplash resume

Minor tweak as of 21:00 28 Feb 2008: moved a variable initialization in /etc/rc.d/rc.syslinux of 3.xx versions to correct the bug where it shows an error message about a syntax error on a full-hd install. This can be done by hand easily: just edit that file and locate the part that says
, then move it to just under the
part, right above the mount statement. Save it. All better.
I updated the packages too, but I also removed the getline and clean_pupstate functions. Those were holdovers from an earlier version. In 1.0 their functionality was moved into the pebble script itself, but I forgot to delete them from the rc.sysinit file. They weren't hurting anything and only wasted about a kilobyte, so it isn't a big deal or anything.

Post subject: Usb save files
Wow! Really impressed. Have been having a fun time playing around with this. Has worked flawlessly on my frugal hard drive install, less so booting from a live cd to a usb save file. Problems are this:
When I boot the cd, after the boot message the splash screen displays. So far so good. Then when puppy scans my computer for pupsave files, the splash disappears and it asks me what file I wish to boot from. Also good. From then on it's not so great.... once I type in my ecryption password, splash comes back, no matter if I put the wrong password in or not. Also, after about 10 seconds I start seeing boot messages written over the top of the splash screen... any idea how to fix this? Cheers.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using puppy 3.01, with a version I've remade from wNOP.
I've been creating a pupplet specific for booting up on different computers, thus the need for the usb save file. For now I'm removing the bootscripts of pebble from it, but am hoping to find a way to fix this.. I really like what you've done. Cheers,

I can't seem to replicate that. Are you sure the encryption behaves correctly when not using Pebble? And what is the text that gets displayed? Could it be that you haven't installed the pebble_postinit-1.0.pet in that save file yet? In that case text would start covering the bootsplash about half-way through. If you this is a remaster of one that had it installed, maybe the remaster didn't cover /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, rc.local0, and rc.country.
I did notice another harmless bug though. In some versions of Puppy Pebble won't save it's frame data correctly before the switch_root. This is only with the latest releases due to a bug I introduced when I made it 2.14R compatible. I never really liked the piece of code involved, so I've rewritten that part so it should work write on all Puppies, without the dependency on grep during init. I haven't uploaded it yet though, because I want to sort out what's wrong with dinky's setup first.

Thanks for your reply. I'll have to play around with it soon when I have some more spare time. I was using a savefile from my pupplet 'Tigerpup version 1.2', and had remastered the live cd to include Pebble. I then copied the new Initrd, Zdrv, and Vmllinuz (apart from initrd I should be the same anyway) and rebooted. This is when I ran into trouble. I am basically running the remasters from a frugal hard-drive install, where I edit the savefile on my pc before creating a remastered version from it. I downloaded your package with all of your scripts, copied the folders from pup301, and unleashed, and created the new initrd... would it still be necessary to run the postinit package on the savefile on my flash drive, running from the livecd? I thought this would have been done with the remaster, as I sorted that out by copying and pasting the correct files on my frugal install. Will let you know what I find... Cheers.

As long as you grabbed all the files from the 301/pup_xxx/ and 301/unleashed_extras/ directories and also made the new initrd.gz file, all should be well. The postinit package just contains the stuff in pup_xxx/.
Double check that the resulting ISO actually has the modified files though. In Puppy 3.xx you can just click the ISO to mount it. You can also click the pup_301.sfs file, but it I don't remember if that works when you're also running from a pup_301.sfs file. You might have to do it manually:
mount pup_301.sfs /mnt/data -o loop
Then a
grep bootsplash /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
should return the five instances of "bootsplash" in it. If it doesn't return anything, the remaster didn't save those files.
If I remember right, the remaster script will ignore some things in /etc, if not the entire directory, so you might have to put those files in during the part where it lets you modify things after copying the original install but before creating the actual iso.

Sachem North rallies to focus attention on state aid
More than a thousand people packed Sachem High School North's gymnasium and auditorium Saturday to support their cash-strapped district, as officials plead for more state aid.
Chants of "We are Sachem!" pulsed through the school during the rally -- a shout-out to lawmakers as the district faces a $26 million shortfall next year.
"We hope Governor Cuomo and other state politicians take notice of Sachem's pride and honor," Sachem Superintendent James Nolan said in a statement. "We are a district that relies on state aid and to be cut like we have, it's detrimental to the future of our district."
The event showcased many of the district's offerings, including dance and song performances -- and even a robotics demonstration.
The district -- Long Island's second-largest, with 14,300 students -- has been hit by a combination of shrinking state aid, rising costs and caps on property taxes. Without more money, Sachem officials said, they either would have to cut services and increase class sizes, or boost taxes up to 16 percent.
John Quinn, a high school senior, said he wants his two younger siblings to have the "same opportunities" he had.
"They deserve it," he said. "From sports to academics, to arts and music, Sachem has so much to offer to its students. Our future generations deserve the best education and experience possible."
Speakers at Saturday's event included students, alumni, administrators, faculty and elected local and state officials.
"Frankly, we need to get you more money," said state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport), chairman of the Senate's education subcommittee.
Flanagan said the subcommittee's "No. 1 responsibility has to be to provide good, quality education for every kid and for every community across the state of New York."
The rally was the latest effort by Sachem to bring attention to the district's fiscal woes. About 40 people, including staff and students, took a bus to Albany last week to lobby lawmakers.
This year, the district's budget is about $291 million, including $106 million in state aid. Next year, Sachem is to receive $105 million from the state.
Nolan said a proposed budget has to be presented to the public by April 15.

Bethany O'Shea, PhD
Associate Professor, Environmental and Ocean Sciences
Core Curriculum Director
- Ph.D., University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia: Geology
- B.Sc (Honours 1), University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia: Earth and Environmental Science
- Postdoctoral scholar, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University
Bethany O'Shea, PhD, teaches courses in environmental geology, earth science, and geochemistry of ocean and continental waters. All of these courses use the environment as a natural laboratory and include interactive problem solving and thought provoking learning techniques. Dr. O'Shea is interested in the cycling of metals, nutrients, and contaminants in the environment; specifically controls on the movement and distribution of trace elements in groundwater, lakes, and sediments. She welcomes the opportunity to teach and mentor students interested in the earth, marine, and environmental sciences.
Scholarly Work
Dr. O'Shea's early research interests focused on investigating groundwater quality in the Great Artesian Basin. In this semi-arid region of Australia, groundwater is heavily relied upon for irrigation, and therefore it must be assessed for its suitability and compatibility with soils and crops. After a few years working in the environmental consulting industry in Sydney, she further pursued her research interests in environmental contamination by investigating the natural occurrence of arsenic in a coastal aquifer in eastern Australia. Using a combination of geomorphology, hydrogeology, sediment and water chemistry, Dr. O'Shea characterized the source and distribution of arsenic in the aquifer, which led to improved groundwater management techniques and the award of her Ph.D. As a postdoctoral scholar at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, she continued to investigate arsenic geochemistry, but with a focus on determining the arsenic-mineral hosts in a metamorphic aquifer in Maine. This research has led her into the field of metal-mineral surface chemistry, which has enabled her to use some cutting edge research techniques, such as laser ablation and synchrotron radiation.
Areas of Interest
As a postdoctoral scholar at Columbia University, Dr. O'Shea was recruited into the Frontiers of Science fellowship program, a prestigious program for aspiring young faculty. Fellows are mentored by senior Columbia University Professors, many with esteemed resumes and teaching awards, to develop innovative science pedogogic techniques. Curriculum development focused on the importance of problem solving, critical thinking, and scientific habits of mind, instead of traditional memorization and lecture techniques. At USD, Dr. O'Shea continues to teach by engaging her students with active learning, and skills to help them 'think outside the box'. These techniques are not unique to science, but are useful to all disciplines. In addition to teaching in her field of earth and environmental science, Dr. O'Shea also maintains an active interest in geoscience education research.

The software glitch that affected hundreds of US flights last week was prompted by a U-2 spy plane flying miles above the Los Angeles basin.
NBC News, citing anonymous sources, said the plane—older versions of which once flew spy missions over Russia five decades ago—was traveling at some 60,000 feet when it hit airspace near Los Angeles. Air traffic control computers at the LA Air Route Traffic Control Center in Palmdale, CA were trying to prevent the craft from crashing into planes that were flying miles below.
The Federal Aviation Administration's ongoing $40 billion traffic-control upgrade shut itself down before the program fried.
"FAA technical specialists resolved the specific issue that triggered the problem on Wednesday, and the FAA has put in place mitigation measures as engineers complete development of software changes," aviation officials said in a statement. "The FAA will fully analyze the event to resolve any underlying issues that contributed to the incident and prevent a reoccurrence."
As many as 500 flights in and out of Los Angeles International Airport were halted for about an hour Wednesday as officials investigated the glitch within a component of the En Route Automation Modernization system built by Lockheed Martin Corp.
Nearby Edwards Air Force Base has been known to house the U-2. The US Air Force has a fleet of nearly three dozen U-2 crafts built in the 1980s.
The planes are being phased out of service.

ST Dupont
The company of S T Dupont was founded in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont, as a leather manufacturing company making wallets and attache cases.
It was in 1973 that S T Dupont moved into the luxury writing instrument market with the introduction of the Classique. Using the artisan skills of the jeweller, S T Dupont had created a refined ballpoint pen from solid silver. In 1996, the Olympio range was added and following the success of these, the writing instrument collection has expanded and evolved to what it today.

We think that the Samsung Galaxy S III has a nice camera as it is with the 8-megapixel resolution and decent optics. However, that's not saying we would like to see better resolution and higher image quality for still shots and video. If you want more than the smartphone will offer by default, custom ROM developer hyperX has released a new mod for the smartphone that boosts video recording quality.
The superfine mod for the smartphone will boost 1080p full HD video recording to 30 Mbit in superfine mode and adds in support for 192-kbit audio as well. Along with the high-end mode, there's also 24 Mbit fine mode and 19 Mbit normal mode. The mod also gets the ability to record 19 Mbit superfine 720p resolution video along with 15 Mbit fine and 10 Mbit normal mode.
All the different video recording modes include the same 192 kbit audio recording. The future update hopes to add 60 fps capture to all resolutions. Other little things that you get with the tweak applied include the ability to start the camera while in a call and a shortcut to take photos during video recording using the volume up/down button. HyperX's hack also changes the default action that won't allow the camera app to load if the battery is under 15% charged.

This question is a generalization of my previous question about the circle to arbitrary manifolds.
Is there a smooth manifold M with the following property.
There exists a sequence of connected finite-dimensional subgroups Gi of M's diffeomorphism group G such that
(a) Gi is contained in Gj for i < j
(b) The union of Gi is dense in G
To remove doubt, "finite dimensional subgroup of M's diffeomorphism group" means a Lie group H with smooth faithful action on M.
The answer to my previous question established that S1 is not such a manifold. I suspect that the answer to the general question is still "no". However, the proof would have to be more sophisticated since in the case of S1 we had essentially a closed list of possible "Hs".
There is another closely related question. Fix a smooth manifold M. Consider connected Lie groups H with faithful and transitive smooth action on M. Is there an upper bound of H's dimension? For S1 the answer was "yes, 3".

Lilly asks Dodgers to move him into relief role
PHOENIX -- Dodgers left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly, frustrated with his third stint on the disabled list this season, told club officials Tuesday to try him as a reliever.
Lilly hasn't made a relief appearance since 2003, but he's now 37 and concedes that he can't manage a chronic neck problem with a starter's workload.
"Ideally, I'd like to be a starter and be effective in that role," said Lilly. "I've had a hard time staying healthy. I pitched Saturday [rehab start at Class A Rancho Cucamonga], and it was sore Sunday. Yesterday, it was pretty good."
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly seemed pleased to hear that Lilly would embrace a relief role because lefties J.P. Howell and Paco Rodriguez have evolved into set-up roles and Lilly could assume a situational left-hander position.
"We'll give it a shot," said Mattingly. "Rick [Honeycutt, pitching coach] will set up a sim game tomorrow and every other day, and we'll see what it looks like. Ted said the best chance for him would be out of the bullpen. I want to be open-minded and see what it looks like."
Lilly is 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five starts, but his season began on the disabled list coming off last year's surgery. He returned after missing 19 games, but a week later was disabled with a strained ribcage muscle. He returns after missing 17 games, but two weeks later was disabled with the neck issue and has been out a month.
Lilly will be a free agent after this season.
"I've thought about it. I've had a lot of down time to think," he said of his future. "I want to play if I can be effective. I'd like to play for a long time. I certainly don't want to be on the DL day after day. I'll play as long as I can, if I can be on the field."

text: Ace of Spades Death Card...this is a reproduction from an original that we have in our possession. Printed on card stock and is a front and back card. These were put on dead Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army soldiers to send Charlie a message that US soldiers had been there. The top line reads: "Death awaits Viet Cong cadres." The second line reads: "Return [to the south Vietnamese side] rather than being killed." These seem to be the most prevalent type of death cards, one might almost say "the standard" death card. Comes in its own protective sleeve.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
If Brad Paisley is kind of the king of concert pranks, then Carrie Underwood is quickly becoming the queen. She must've learned the power of prank from her pal Paisley because on Saturday night (May 18), she pulled a good one on her tour opener Hunter Hayes. And it's not like she didn't warn him. Before the show in Canada, she tweeted, "Hunter Hayes' last show on the #BlownAwayTour = time for pranks!" Then after the goat prank — she replaced Hayes' image on the video screen with a screaming goat during one of his songs — she posted pictures and videos for all their fans to see. "Tee hee! Thanks @HunterHayes for being on the road with us! You will be missed!," Underwood tweeted. She later thanked the crowd for playing along. "Thanks, Edmonton, for partying with us on a Saturday night!" she wrote. "What a great crowd! Hope you didn't mind our little pranks tonight! Xoxo."

We are a wine company with a slightly different take on things. In addition to being dedicated to making great wine, we're also passionate about something even more important: play.
For us, play includes the excitement of testing our luck—and tempting fate—at games of chance. It also includes getting together with friends and enjoying each other's company. And we have found that a bottle (or two) of carefully crafted nectar can be quite helpful in that regard.
So, go ahead. Invite a few friends over, uncork a bottle of JAQK Cellars and play a little.
We named the company JAQK after the face cards and ace in a deck.
A hearty cab that stands up and demands notice. Just the thing to accompany a thick porterhouse steak or toasts to grooms, grandfathers and other dignitaries.
Smooth and mellow, this tasty Chardonnay pairs well with grilled lobster on the deck and good friends wherever you might find yourselves.

Hello all,
I'm not sure if I should be posting to the "newbie" portion or this one, since both apply. My name is Deanne and although I've been a member of Faithwriters for quite a number of years, I must admit I haven't roamed around too much in it until this past month. Honestly, when I say I'm a newbie...I'm a NEWBIE! This is all new to me and quite frankly I feel like a fish out of water.
Many changes have occured in my life over the past year and I felt it was time (and given the opportunity) to pursue and incorporate...somehow...my love of my Lord...writing...painting...and crafting. Many have told me I try to do too much but I believe it will all come together according to His plan. I truly do not know where it will all lead, however, I do know without a doubt Who is doing the leading.
It didn't take long for me to discover how quickly isolation can take over and as much as I love to encourage others, I need it too.
I'm thrilled to be taking this "plunge" and participating in the writing challenges. I desparately need the writing focus! I also look forward to making new friends...what an awesome added bonus!
New Season in Montana
If you have just signed up as a FaithWriters Platinum (500) member, please stop by this forum and say hello. We want to give you an extra special welcome (even if you are an old familiar face)
