Sarah Teather won the Brent East poll by more than 1,100 votes, overturning a 13,047 majority and marking Labour's first loss of a Commons seat in a by-election for 15 years.
London MEP Robert Evans received 7,040 votes compared with Ms Teather's 8,158, while the Conservative candidate Uma Fernandes was beaten into third place with 3,368 votes.
The 29% swing from Labour to the Liberal Democrats is the largest for almost a decade, and is being described by commentators as one of the most stunning turnarounds in British electoral history.
The by-election took place on Thursday after Labour MP Paul Daisley died of cancer in June, aged just 45.
Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy said the result was "a big boost" for the party ahead of its annual conference in Brighton next week.
"We have shown that there is no such thing as a no-go area for the Liberal Democrats," he said.
"In Britain's most diverse community, we have shown that we can speak for every section of society and the Liberal Democrat message is one they want to hear and support."
War factor
The party will now have 54 MPs in Westminster, with 29-year-old Ms Teather making the transition from being a councillor in Islington to become the youngest member of the Commons.
Commentators are linking the Labour defeat with Tony Blair's decision to go to war with Iraq, and anger among the party's traditional voters over the involvement of the private sector in public services.
"It's led to an awful sense of doubt both about Tony Blair personally and about this administration and I think that's going to be the difficulty for the government," Mr Kennedy told BBC Radio 4's Today.
For the Lib Dems, the result is being seen as a huge boost, proving they win by-elections not only against the Tories, but also against Labour.
Ms Teather said she was "absolutely elated" by the result, which came in at about 0230 BST on Friday, adding that both Labour and the Conservatives should take careful note of the outcome.
"Tony Blair, I hope that you are listening tonight. The people of Brent have spoken for the people of Britain," she said.
"But there is no comfort in this result tonight for the Conservative Party.
They are irrelevant to constituencies like this," she added.
"The tide may be turning against Tony Blair and New Labour, but the tide
remains far out for the Conservatives in this country. "
Labour said it was disappointed with the poll.
Chairman Ian McCartney said: "The backdrop of the controversy surrounding the Iraqi conflict, in its many forms, made this the most difficult by-election Labour has fought in the last 20 years.
"A disproportionate number of Labour voters staying at home was also a key feature."
Mr Evans, the Labour candidate, was optimistic despite defeat.
"I think if we're honest some of the results of Labour investment in health,
in education, in the fight against crime haven't yet filtered through to
voters," he said.
"Clearly we've had a by-election - people have exercised the right to perhaps vote differently (from how) they might do in a general election and so obviously we're very disappointed.
"But we'll bounce back."
Lessons to learn
In the 2001 general election Mr Daisley managed to secure a majority of 13,047 with 63.21% of the vote.
He took over the seat from Ken Livingstone, who became London's mayor.
Then the Tories came second with 18.21% of votes cast, while the Liberal Democrats picked up 10.57%.
The Conservatives said they would examine the campaign and learn from it.
Conservative chairman Theresa May said: "I'm disappointed for Uma Fernandes, because I think she was an extremely good candidate.
"Of course parties don't want to come third in elections but our vote held up, contrary to predictions that it was going to collapse.
"We will look at the campaign and learn the lessons from the campaign but we are a party that is on course for the general election."

7 Ways to Beat The Heat, Heat Stroke & Exhaustion
#1 – Never leave children, disabled persons, or pets in a parked car – even briefly.
Temperatures in a car can become life threatening within minutes. On an 80-degree day, the temperature inside a car even with the windows cracked slightly can reach 100 degrees in less than 10 minutes!
#2 – Keep your living space cool.
Cover windows to keep the sun from shining in. If you don't have an air conditioner, open windows to let air circulate. When it's hotter than 95 degrees, use fans to blow hot air out of the window rather than to blow hot air on to your body. Basements or ground floors are often cooler than upper floors.
#3 – Slow down and limit physical activity.
Plan outings or exertion for the early morning or after dark, when temperatures are cooler.
#4 – Drink plenty of water and eat lightly.
Don't wait for thirst, but instead drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid alcohol or caffeine and stay away from hot, heavy meals.
#5 – Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.
Add a hat or umbrella to keep your head cool…and don't forget sunscreen!
#6 – Don't stop taking medication unless your doctor says you should.
Take extra care to stay cool, and ask your doctor or pharmacist for any special heat advice.
#7 – Taking a cool shower or bath will cool you down.
A shower or bath will actually work faster than air conditioner. Applying cold wet rags to the neck, head and limbs also cools down the body quickly.
What is the difference between Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke?
Heat Cramps – cramps or muscle spasms in the abdomen, arms or legs
Solution: Stop activity. Cool down, drink clear juice or sports drink.
Heat Exhaustion – heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, fainting.
Muscle cramps (arms, legs, abdomen)
Rapid pulse (tachycardia)
Profuse perspiration
Cool, moist skin
Rapid respiration
Body temperature may be normal, or slightly below normal, or as high as 102.2 degrees F.
Possible giddiness
Solution: Cool down, seek medical attention.
Caused by: Depletion of body fluids and electrolytes due to exposure to intense heat or the inability to acclimatize to heat, resulting in prolonged or severe diaphoresis. May progress to heat stroke.
Onset: May develop slowly after exposure to heat for several days and inadequate or unbalanced replacement of fluids and electrolytes.
Heat Stroke – extremely high body temperature, red, hot, dry skin, rapid pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, unconsciousness.
Muscle cramps (arms, legs, abdomen)
Rapid pulse (tachycardia)
Absence of perspiration
Hot, dry, red or mottled skin
Slow deep respiration
Extremely high body temperature (104 degrees F/40 degrees C or above, rectally)
Mental confusion, disorientation, delirium, irrational behavior, feeling of euphoria or impending doom, diminished level of consciousness, loss of consciousness may be abrupt
Confusion may occur early or late
Signs of shock
Solution: Call 911 and cool the victim with shower or hose until help arrives.
Onset: May develop quickly (within minutes).
How to respond in an emergency heat stroke or heat exhaustion situation
- Call for transport to a medical facility immediately
- Apply cool water, sponging, and cool fluids by mouth if still alert
- Attempt to reduce body temperature to 102 degrees F as rapidly as possible
- Transport to medical center for temperature stabilization and prevention/treatment of complications.
People at higher risk of a heat-related illness
- Older adults
- Infants and young children
- People with chronic heart or lung problems
- People with disabilities
- Overweight persons
- Those who work outdoors or in hot settings
- Users of some medications, especially those taken for mental disorders, movement disorder, allergies, depression, and heart or circulatory problems
- People who are isolated that don't know when or how to cool off – or when to call for help

What is the Connection Between Asthma and Hypertension?
According to published research, there does seem to be a connection between asthma and hypertension in adults, yet very little research supports this connection in adolescents. Although the link between hypertension and allergic disease is suspected, more research needs to be done to establish a definite explanation for the correlation. There is some evidence suggesting a relationship between asthma and hypertension in pregnancy, yet only theories exist for the possible cause. Various correlations have been made which associate medications for asthma and hypertension to the development of one or the other conditions, yet further research must be conducted to provide definite proof the correlations exist.
Asthma is a disease of inflammation to the airways of the lungs, causing symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath. When this aggravation continues to occur, it places unneeded stress on the body, inducing higher states of excitement in the nervous system. Any form of stress that occurs to the body which induces physical excitement causes blood pressure to escalate. If this form of excitement continues, blood pressure levels can increase to undesirable levels and lead to a diagnosis of hypertension. This is usually seen in poorly managed asthma conditions that result in a struggle to maintain healthy airway flow.
A meta-analysis study showed that there is a significant correlation between mothers who have pregnancy-induced asthma and hypertension, suggesting a link between the two conditions. This study did not look for the actual connection between the simultaneous occurrence of the conditions, yet showed that many pregnant mothers who had one of these conditions also suffered from another. It is theorized that the stress of childbirth and parenting can bring forth increased blood pressure flow, or that certain hormones during pregnancy can actually create physiological responses that increase blood pressure. Beta blockers are thought to be an appropriate and simple treatment for hypertension, yet many medical professionals warn against their use for those suffering from both asthma and hypertension, and for those who are pregnant.
Most researchers will agree that asthma and hypertension are both common conditions and therefore seem related when present in one individual. This does not necessarily mean they are connected, yet it does seem probable there is a link. The most simple theory of their connection comes down to psychological and physical stress affecting blood pressure levels, thus leading the individuals to become unaware of their natural breathing patterns. This may become a problem if stress is experienced over a long period of time, as breathing patterns will become more unnatural as the body becomes further associated with the behavior.

I think we're forgetting one important point. Anti-histamines used to treat asthma and allergies can also cause high blood pressure. I know this because my mom has high BP and she cannot take any cold medicine with antihistamine because it raises her blood pressure. So maybe that's the connection.
@bear78-- That's a good point. I agree that someone who doesn't have asthma attacks frequently shouldn't really have high blood pressure all the time. If a diagnosis for high blood pressure requires chronic high levels, I doubt that most asthma patients who are using antihistamines and vasodilators to keep their symptoms under control would fit into this category. I'm not a doctor though so I could be wrong.
As far as I understand, the relationship between these two illnesses is still being studied. Perhaps doctors will find a straightforward explanation in the new future. Maybe there is a close connection between asthma and high blood pressure and maybe not.
I don't really understand the connection between asthma and hypertension.
It's not surprising that someone who is having an asthma attack would have high blood pressure at the same time. We all experience high blood pressure when we're stressed like the article said. The difficulty breathing caused by asthma is also likely to affect blood pressure as blood pressure, pulse and respiration and intricately connected.
By why would someone who has their asthma mostly under control and who does not have frequent asthma attacks have high blood pressure? I don't see the connection there.

Probably because I am naturally a cynic, I was not surprised by the overturning of José Efraín Rios Montt's conviction for genocide last week. I am even less surprised that those Pentecostals, prominent celebrity preachers among others said nothing about this sad human rights tragedy. There seems to be such selective memory among certain sectors of American Pentecostalism, that they never have to apologize or say they were wrong–even if they're wrong alot–about alot–and they just keep talking. The political debates around US policy in Central America in the 1980s were when I came of political age. I read as much history as I could, I debated in high school, I debated in college. Did the centuries-long military intervention in Central America, usually on the side of US corporate interests, often in the guise of anti-communism mean anything? Why didn't people see that? Well, I won most of these debates and I wrote opinion pieces for local papers, but despite my best efforts–and with apologies to Allen Ginsburg. I saw the best minds of my generation-become Reaganites. Unfettered markets, robust military intervention, culture wars–I'm not sure where we lost you, but it would be years in the wilderness till these wars that brutalized a generation of people in Central America would end. After the wars were over–the generals who prosecuted these wars on behalf of the US–especially Pentecostal Rios Montt, who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Mayan Indians, seemed to escape unscathed. As a reminder, the Rios Montt, who preached a fiery anti-communism filtered through an apocalyptic lens was responsible for the following:
During his 17-month stint as military dictator, he oversaw the genocide [by his armed forces of at least 1,771 members of the indigenous Maya Ixil population. Roughly 100 survivors testified during the course of his trial this year.
Along with the mass murder, his military regime carried out a policy of forced displacement, forced assimilation, torture, systematic rape and sexual assault, starvation, and arbitrary execution against those labeled as political opponents. Due to his staunchly anti-communist attitudes during the Guatemalan Civil War, the general received plenty of financial, military,and political support from President Ronald Reagan's administration and friends in the United States. Among those friends, celebrity preacher Pat Robertson, celebrity evangelist Luis Palau, who was quoted in Christianity Today saying of Rios Montt's reign, "The hand of God appears to be on him." http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2006/september/5.21.html
There is a psychological term that has lately come into fashion to explain this phenomenon, it's called "confirmation bias." Meaning that we gravitate and only accept information if it confirms what we already believe, we dismiss information that contradicts our pre-determined biases. Communism, for the better part of the 20th century, was our "twilight struggle," and evangelical and Pentecostal churches in the U.S. largely remained convinced that this struggle was worthy of sacrificing the lives of thousands of indigenous people in Guatemala. Among those killed under Rios Montt's watch were Catholic activists, and ironically, Pentecostal laity and pastors. A survivor of Rios Montt's purges, a student of mine, told me of his travails, hiding his family for fear that the military would come in the middle of the night, and they would all soon be disappeared. The stories he told me of other pastors, church members being killed, raped, their children being assaulted as a "lesson" to their rebellious parents were difficult to listen to and harder to accept that U.S. Pentecostals simply had no idea what was going on in Central America and if they did–they did not believe it—choosing to believe what their biases confirmed already–that Rios Montt was a God-ordained savior of the Guatemalan people who was committed to rooting out the evil of communism. That pastor could not continue his story, he simply shook his head and walked away. I did not pursue his story further, but he is still ministering today in a Central American congregation in Los Angeles.
I am not sure that history helps people see things in context, but I have dedicated the better part of my adult life to that small stab at idealism. So let me try to put the whole anti-communist thing in context. During the 1920s, the pages of most, if not all Pentecostal magazines were filled with anti-Catholicism of the worst sort. Part of the rationale for beginning missions to the borderlands and Latin America was to free that "dark" land of its "Romanism," "heathenism" and 'idolatry." The Assemblies of God magazine, the Pentecostal Evangel was filled with this kind of language for decades. During the height of anti-Catholic violence in Mexico, where thousands of Catholic laity and clergy were killed, called the Cristero War (1926-29), Mexico was run by Plutarco Elías Calles, an atheist who prosecuted the enforcement of the 1917 Mexican Constitution with extreme violence against the Roman Catholic church, thus setting in motion the revolt against his violence, by devout Catholics who vowed to die before they would be forced to give up their religious rights. During this time, there is little in the pages of any Pentecostal magazine that sympathizes with the plight of the Catholic rebels in Mexico, this revolution is viewed as an opportunity by some enterprising missionaries, to bring in the "Pentecostal light" to "dark Old Mexico."
When President Lázaro Cárdenas came to power from 1934-40, he maintained some anti-Catholic persecution, but that did not cause U.S. Pentecostals much alarm, when Cárdenas began instituting land reform, formalized secular schools that were forbidden from teaching "fanaticism" of the Church, and when he began worker's cooperatives to counter the influence of capitalism–then Mexico and Catholicism became something different in the eyes of the Assemblies of God. Almost overnight, the midnight that fell over Mexico was no longer Catholicism, but socialism, and the only way to combat that was to send more money so the denomination could send more missionaries. The atrocities of the Cristero War were slowly being printed in the Pentecostal Evangel, but curiously, there are few references to the fact that it was Catholics who were being summarily executed and terrorized. The articles mention that there are protests against Cárdenas' programs, and infers that these protests are against "bolshevism" and offers little evidence of this.
Mexico, it seems was now part of an End Time schema, where because of the anti-religious persecution coupled with the socialist policies, it was viewed as a portent of the eschaton. It was confirmation of the biases of most U.S. Pentecostals that Mexico lived in the "darkness" of Catholicism, viewed the Church as a "cancer," that allowed for the atheist/socialist take-over in the 1930s where "saving" Mexico now had become necessary to the very survival of America. The fact that people had suffered, been tortured, and died at the hands of a brutal regime that prosecuted a war against a devoutly Catholic population did not matter as much as when that government changed hands and decided to blunt the effects of centuries of land monopolies and unfettered markets that Mexico became important. That is the problem with confirmation bias, that is the problem, as psychologist Jonathan Haidt eloquently argues in his remarkable book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided By Politics, that the "morality that binds, is the morality that blinds." As U.S. Pentecostals were blinded by their anti-Catholic fervor in the early 20th century, so much so that they did not see themselves as sharing in the sufferings of their brethren in Mexico. U.S. Pentecostals and evangelicals in the late 20th century were blinded by their right-wing politics, and as they gave financial, moral, and spiritual support to José Efraín Rios Montt, they became complicit in the evils of this world. A complicity so corrupting that the silence of those trapped in this immoral quagmire says it all.

In order to present the results of the Group and the Parent Company and analyze its financial structure, Enel has prepared separate reclassified schedules that differ from those envisaged under the IFRS-EU adopted by the Group and by Enel SpA and presented in the consolidated and separate financial reports. These reclassified schedules contain different performance indicators from those obtained directly from the consolidated and separate financial statements, which management feels are useful in monitoring the performance of the Group and the Parent Company and representative of the financial performance of the business.
As regards those indicators, on December 3, 2015, CONSOB issued Communication 92543/2015, which gives force to the Guidelines issued on October 5, 2015, by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) concerning the presentation of alternative performance measures in regulated information disclosed or prospectuses published as from July 3, 2016. These Guidelines, which update the previous CESR Recommendation (CESR/05-178b), are intended to promote the usefulness and transparency of alternative performance indicators included in regulated information or prospectuses within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in order to improve their comparability, reliability and comprehensibility.
Accordingly, in line with the regulations cited above, the criteria used to construct these indicators are as follows.
Gross operating margin: an operating performance indicator, calculated as "Operating income" plus "Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses".
Ordinary gross operating margin: an indicator calculated by eliminating from the gross operating margin all items connected with non-recurring transactions such as acquisitions or disposals of entities (e.g. capital gains and losses), with the exception of those in the renewables development segment, in line with the new "Build, Sell and Operate" business model launched in the 4th Quarter of 2016, in which the income from the disposal of projects in that sector is the result of an ordinary activity for the Group.
Ordinary operating income: this is calculated by correcting "operating income" for the effects of the non-recurring transactions referred to with regard to the gross operating margin, as well as significant impairment losses on assets following impairment testing or classification under "assets held for sale".
Group ordinary net income: this is defined as "Group net income" generated by Enel's core business and is equal to "Group net income" less the effects on net income (including the impact of any tax effects or non-controlling interests) of the items referred to in the comments on "ordinary operating income".
Net non-current assets: calculated as the difference between "Non-current assets" and "Non-current liabilities" with the exception of:
- "Deferred tax assets";
- "Securities held to maturity", "Financial investments in funds or portfolio management products measured at fair value through profit or loss" and "Other financial receivables"included in "Other non-current financial assets"
- "Long-term borrowings";
- "Employee benefits";
- "Provisions for risks and charges (non-current portion)";
- "Deferred tax liabilities".
Net current assets: calculated as the difference between "Current assets" and "Current liabilities" with the exception of:
- "Long-term financial receivables (short-term portion)", "Factoring receivables", "Securities held to maturity", Overview of the Group's operations, performance and financial position Report on operations 27 "Cash collateral" and "Other financial receivables" included in "Other current financial assets";
- "Cash and cash equivalents"
- "Short-term borrowings" and the "Current portion of long-term borrowings";
- "Provisions for risks and charges (current portion)";
- "Other financial payables" included in "Other current liabilities"
Net assets held for sale: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale".
Net capital employed: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Net non-current assets" and "Net current assets", "Provisions for risks and charges", "Deferred tax liabilities" and "Deferred tax assets", as well as "Net assets held for sale".
Net financial debt: a financial structure indicator, calculated as:
- "Long-term borrowings" and "Short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term borrowings", taking account of "Short-term financial payables" included in "Other current liabilities";
- net of "Cash and cash equivalents";
- net of the "Current portion of long-term financial receivables","Factoring receivables", "Cash collateral" and "Other financial receivables" included in "Other current financial assets";
- net of "Securities held to maturity", "Securities available for sale", "Financial investments in funds or portfolio management products measured at fair value through profit or loss" and "Other financial receivables" included in"Other non-current financial assets".
More generally, the net financial debt of the Enel Group is calculated in conformity with paragraph 127 of Recommendation CESR/05-054b implementing Regulation 2004/809/EC and in line with the CONSOB instructions of July 26, 2007, net of financial receivables and long-term securities.

Just a couple of days ago, we talked up the HTC One that was spotted in a shade of red over on its website, before it was strangely removed with nary a beep from the folks over at HTC. Well, it seems that the red version of the HTC One is not a unicorn or a fantasy device, but rather, is very, very real, as it is now available for folks to place a pre-order over in the UK, with a targeted street date of March 15th. A bunch of mobile carriers including Vodafone and Three UK have already begun to put up offers for the new flagship from HTC, while other retailers have decided to offer an unlocked version for £510 ($780 after conversion), inclusive of taxes.
We are also led to believe, that the red version of the HTC One might end up being a limited edition device (which is "wasted" in a sense, as Valentine's Day has just passed more than a week ago, where that could have been an occasion to promote the smartphone) for certain retailers or carriers. Ah well, only time will tell. Hey, how about us folks living Stateside? Will we, or will we not be getting a red HTC One down the road?

In the age of Netflix, iTunes and the cleverly named "Amazon Instant Video", when Blockbuster Video has gone bust, is it any wonder that the video brick-and-mortar icon Scarecrow Video should be up on the ropes?
Sort of. I mean, there are about ten bazillion videos out there, and Scarecrow carries about 120,000 of them. By contrast, iTunes has about 3,500.
But, on the ropes it is. Rentals are down 40%, and, according to KOMO, "store officials say this holiday season could be make-or-break for the business."
But according to Kate Barr from Scarecrow, this grim news has been overshadowing on important fact:
Scarecrow is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this December!!
We're setting aside our current worries and pulling out all the stops for a weekend long celebration starting Friday, December 6th and ending Sunday, December 8th.
In the midst of our struggle to keep this Seattle landmark around, we invite one and all to join us in celebrating all of our achievements in the last 25 years – and our continued hope for another 25 years to come.
Scarecrow's press release gives some background on the film mecca:
On December 9, 1988 (promptly at noon) Scarecrow Video was born with one simple mission: unite people with film. Containing an inventory of 600 titles procured by George Latsios, the original Latona store location was but a ripple in the lake that would become Scarecrow. Seven customers signed up that day (four of whom we're pleased to still have with us), 18 titles were rented, and the store's first $38.98 was made. George, along with his wife Rebecca, continued to aggressively expand the rental inventory, as well as their staff. In November of 1994, Scarecrow was forced to look for a larger house to accommodate its then 18,000 titles, and moved down the street to its current location at 5030 Roosevelt Way. In 1997, Scarecrow became one of the first video stores in Seattle to add a major DVD section reinforcing its ethos to evolve in the new directions of cinema. In 1999, as a result of financial and health concerns, George and Rebecca transferred ownership of Scarecrow to Carl Tostevin and John Dauphiny, two long-time customers and avid movie lovers, with their promise to maintain its mission, and the next chapter in Scarecrow's history began.
The last fifteen years have seen many more changes at Scarecrow. In late 2006, Blu-rays were introduced. Co-owner John Dauphiny exited and Carl's wife, Mickey McDonough, entered. The inventory continues to grow and is now at an astounding 120,000 titles, a collection unmatched anywhere in the world. In addition to rentals, Scarecrow offers one of the largest browsing selections of DVDs and Blu-rays for sale in Seattle including unusual, rare and hard to find titles. 2011 saw the expansion of the Scarecrow experience by adding a coffee kiosk to encourage customers to stay awhile and, in 2012, a Screening Room was built to offer a larger space for customers to sample our impressive collection and connect film-lovers with each other. After 25 years of hard work weathering the ups and downs and always staying true to our mission of bringing people and film together, we have a lot to celebrate!
The weekend of festivities will commence on Friday, December 6th and will include:
- Big sales on New & Used titles including:
- 50% off all used items
- $1.00 VHS and Laserdiscs
- $3.00 off all Criterion titles
- Mark downs on select box sets and out of print titles
- $35 punchcards
- Raffles & giveaways
- Scavenger hunts
- On-going screenings of George's, Rebecca's and Carl & Mickey's all-time favorite movies
Come celebrate with us! What was the first film you ever rented at Scarecrow? Come and tell us, and share your favorite Scarecrow memories. Haven't heard of Scarecrow or been in yet? Come discover us for the first time! Long-time or new, young or old, come be a part of the beginning of the future of this world famous, one-of-a-kind film experience that can only be found here in Seattle.
"[Scarecrow is] like this last great bastion of everything ever made."
– John Jacobson, co-founder of The Film School – KOMOnews.com
"Back in the days when I was involved with Microsoft Cinemania, I discovered Scarecrow and was amazed by its selection and the knowledge and passion of the staff. They don't settle for putting a display of the latest big hit inside the door, but attract the curious, the adventurous and the obsessed movie buffs. The store is not only a resource, but a social center, where you can discover you are not the only person who loves Ozu, or Guy Maddin."
– Roger Ebert – quoted in a Seattle Times article (11/07/04)
Stop in. Do it for Roger!

This Week In 1986: November 9, 1986
What do Men At Work, Culture Club and Bruce Hornsby And The Range have in common? They were all the recipients of the Grammy Award for Best New Artist - the only groups to receive it during the '80s.
We've seen the first two of those bands in recent flashbacks to 1983, and this week in 1986, Bruce Hornsby And The Range made their debut on the ARIA chart with a song that would top the US chart in December.
A song that would top the ARIA chart right through until late December climbed to number 1 this week in 1986. "You're The Voice" bounded up from number 6 to displace Bananarama's seven-week chart-topper, "Venus". John Farnham would spent the same number of weeks at number 1 himself.
Off The Chart
Number 97 "Sweet Love" by Anita Baker
Peak: number 97
She was another winner at the 1987 Grammys, but this breakthrough single - and US top 10 hit - was the only ARIA top 100 appearance by soul singer Anita Baker, more's the pity.
Number 93 "What Are You On" by Manikins
Peak: number 84
I've always liked this quirky single, which was the first release from Manikins v2.0. The band, who were now fronted by the distinctively voiced Christine Bodey, almost broke the top 50 with the follow-up in early 1988.
Number 91 "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC
Peak: number 70
This re-release of the number 8 hit from 1980 was due to its inclusion on Who Made Who. It fell some way short of its prior success but added seven weeks to its previous tally of 28 weeks on the chart.
Number 90 "Hot Nights" by David Evans And Thunder Down Under
Peak: number 90
One place above AC/DC was their original lead singer, who was replaced by Bon Scott in late 1974. He'd had no chart success with his next band Rabbit and, a decade later, still none with Thunder Down Under (not the stripping troupe).
New Entries
Number 47 "(Forever) Live And Die" by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Peak: number 19
Just as "Don't You (Forget About Me)" had provided Simple Minds' career with a shot in the arm, so too did "If You Leave", OMD's own single from a John Hughes film, boost the British synthpop band's chart fortunes. Having previously only climbed as high as number 30 with 1984's "Locomotion", the British band found themselves with back-to-back top 20 hits as "(Forever) Live And Die" peaked slightly lower than the number 15 position reached by "If You Leave". The dreamy single was the first track lifted from OMD's seventh album, The Pacific Age, and featured Paul Humphreys on lead vocals, instead of Andy McCluskey, who'd sung their best known songs in Australia up until this point.
Number 38 "Darling It Hurts" by Paul Kelly And The Coloured Girls
Peak: number 25
Here's another band on a bit of a roll - and also following up a number 15 hit. Rollicking single "Darling It Hurts" wasn't quite as big as "Before Too Long", but it did give Paul Kelly And The Coloured Girls a second appearance in the top 30, and helped ensure their album, Gossip, maintained a presence on the top 100 albums chart until the middle of 1987.
Number 32 "The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby And The Range
Peak: number 12
The original release of "Every Little Kiss" had been their debut single (and a flop first time round), but socially motivated track "The Way It Is" was the song that made people sit up and take notice of Bruce Hornsby And The Range. Lyrically, the US number 1 hit dealt with racism and social injustice, and how two decades after the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, America was still a divided nation. According to the song, "some things" could change, so long as you didn't believe them when they said, "That's just the way it is."
Musically, the piano-led adult-oriented rock track was unlike anything else in the top 50 - a fact that worked in its favour and prompted more mature music fans who didn't buy singles to shell out for the album of the same name, which stayed in the top 100 for almost a year. "The Way It Is" would be the band's only major hit in Australia, although they returned briefly to the top 50 in 1988 with "The Valley Road". The piano riff from "The Way It Is" would underpin another big hit - 2Pac's "Changes" (number 7 in 1999). Fun fact: you wouldn't know it from the music video since Bruce never stands up from behind the piano, but he's 6'4" tall.
Listen to this week's new entries on my Spotify playlist of all the top 50 hits from 1986:
Next week: one of Australia's favourite New Zealand imports lands her first hit, plus a Canadian one-hit wonder and a song that's soundtracked countless striptease scenes.

Director General for Tax Administration, Clive Nicholas has said that up to December 2003, revenue collection for the current financial year was 26 per cent more than the amount for the corresponding period in 2002.
The Director General pointed out however that although this was a significant achievement the Tax Department was behind the projection of $132 billion for the 2003/04 financial year, by about five per cent.
Mr. Nicholas said he was hopeful that the amount projected would be achieved and divulged that the target for January was successfully met. "I am hopeful that for February and March we will continue on this trend and reduce the deficit," the Director General said, while addressing this week's meeting of the JIS Think Tank session.
He admitted that the goal of $132 billion was "a challenging target", and added that if it was not met, then the Tax Department would be aiming as close as possible to that amount.
The increase in collection, the Director General said was due to "a host of things" including the tax package outlined by Finance and Planning Minister, Dr. Omar Davies in his budget presentation last year; inflation and the Customs Modernisation Programme. He said an improvement in the operation at Jamaica Customs had seen significant increases in the amount of revenues collected through import duty.
Mr. Nicholas said that he expected more revenues to be collected at the ports following the recent acquisition of x-ray equipment by the Port Authority. He explained that the equipment, though purchased primarily for security reasons, would help in determining more accurately the content of persons' cargo, thereby allowing for a more accurate assessment of an importer's tax obligation.
Outlining the other factors that contributed to the increase in collection, Mr. Nicholas mentioned measures introduced by the Tax Department to widen the tax base and increase compliance.
He pointed out that the measures included ascertaining as much information as possible from various sources on persons who are operating businesses.
"One of the greatest sources of information for the Tax Department is the Taxpayer Registration Number (TRN). We have over one million persons on that system, which includes individuals, companies and self-employed persons".
Mr. Nicholas pointed out that the TRN was used to track persons as they conduct businesses with the various Revenue Departments.
"People import goods at Customs. Lots of people who are not the regular type business persons get involved in the importation of goods and they need to have a TRN and sometime a Tax Compliant Certificate (TCC) and so the information that we have at Customs, which is computerised is used to lead us to new taxpayers," he explained.
Additionally, Mr Nicholas said that tax auditors who audit the books of large taxpayers, such as supermarket operators, would make a note of the suppliers with whom some of these organisations transact business. "They (auditors) may see that an operator may buy from someone who purchased foodstuff from a farmer to sell and would make a note of these persons in order to check if they are on the tax system," he explained.
Mr. Nicholas added that the Tax Department also monitored persons receiving contracts, in particular government contracts, to check whether or not they were paying their taxes. The Department also go through the yellow pages of the telephone book to see if the persons who advertise their business operations are tax compliant.
The Director General said that with these measures, Compliance Officers at the Inland Revenue Department had been able to identify new taxpayers each month and as a result "thousands of persons have been put on the tax system".
"If you can widen the tax base, and bring some people who are not in the tax system onto the system and get them to file voluntarily, without spending a lot of money you could automatically increase the taxes, so that persons in the system who are bearing the brunt of the tax in this country wouldn't have to be called upon to pay additional taxes," he said.
Director General for Tax Administration, Clive Nicholas has said that up to December 2003, revenue collection for the current financial year was 26 per cent more than the amount for the corresponding period in 2002.

An integrated marketing strategy is essential to find news customers, warm and massage the relationship until they are ready to engage and want more. And, wherever they are, you need to be.

Users in different age groups have vastly different preferences when it comes to consuming, accessing, and discovering content.
Facebook, for younger generations & Google for older people, are the primary places your prospects will look for you or your competitors.
Good old fashioned PR and publicity through online media Influencers are still going to effectively reach older consumers.
Social Media is no longer just for social sharing but is now a place to go for product research.Younger people consume content and search on mobile. Older people prefer PC or laptops.
'How To" Video content is the best place you can invest your time and energy for younger generations BUT most Gen-Xers still prefer email, blogs and articles.
Make Long Form Content like email newsletters and Blogs "Skimmable" using headings, short paragraphs and bullet lists.
Make sure you measure activity on your website with a Facebook pixel.
Here are the 5 Essential Facebook Marketing Steps you need to have ticked off before you can monetize that audience and implement your intergrated marketing strategy:
- Your PAGE SET UP like a pro so that people easily understand what you offer and how you help.
- Your Page is populated with ENGAGING CONTENT that is valuable, interesting, entertaining and educational to encourage people to want to stay connected.

Habitat Changes on the Falkland Islands51.7S 59.4W
The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) are located in the South Atlantic Ocean on a projection of the Patagonian Shelf about 310 miles (500 kilometres) east of the Patagonian coastline and about 280 miles (450 kilometres) north-east of the southerly tip of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. The Falklands, which have a total land area of 4,700 square miles (12,173 square kilometres) and a coastline estimated at 2,200 miles (3,500 km)[92] comprise two main islands, West Falkland and East Falkland and about 776 smaller islands. The two principal islands are 140 miles (220 km) from east to west and 87 miles (140 km) from north to south. They are heavily indented by sounds and fjords and have many natural harbours. The two main islands are separated by the Falkland Sound.
There is little long-term data on habitat changes, so the extent of human impact to the islands is unclear. Vegetation such as tussac grass, fachine, and native box have been heavily impacted by introduced grazing animals. Virtually the entire area of the islands is used as pasture for sheep. Rats and Grey foxes have been introduced and are having a detrimental impact on birds that nest on the shores, as are feral cats. Many breeding birds similarly only live on offshore islands, where introduced animals such as cats and rats are not found. There is also an introduced reindeer population, which was brought to the islands in 2001 for commercial purposes. Twenty two introduced plant species are thought to provide a significant threat to local flora.

How to Have Menu Entries for External & Wine Apps
Subject description: Very, VERY! Easy BASH Programming for Dummies: Don't Panic
This "How To" is long because (a) it assumes you know nothing beyond simple stuff under Windows, and (b) I tend to be long-winded. The actual, necessary, instructions take up less than 1/4 of the text.
External Applications, sometimes called portable applications, are physically located outside your SaveFile. Playdaz discussed the technique for using them in a post called "Program Folders." More recently, DaveS built upon that idea to create the FoxyFun Pet, and the Opera11_mnt_home Pet which will, respectively, run Firefox and Opera11 from your home partition. Both those pets create menu entries, and essentially all this post does is summarize how he did it as that technique can be employed generally to any application "installed" outside the SaveFile. It can also be used to create Menu entries for programs running under Wine. For illustration purposes, I'll discuss my creation of the Iron_mnt_home Pet, but also give the code for any program you install under wine.
Edit 2/19/13: The discussion following is still valid for applications in general. However, the current version of SWIron --and probably Chrome & Chromium-- can no longer be run as root. Starting its executable in a terminal explains that some modification can be made, but it is beyond my current ability to interpret how to do it. Opera and firefox, downloaded from their publishers continue to work as Program Folders.
Edit 2/25/13: To get them to work, see torgo's post, the third post below this.
The first thing I did was create a temporary folder: just click the desktop icon representing the partition in which your Puppy was installed, sometimes referred to as the
"home" partition.
Now Right-Click an empty space and select "New>directory." Give it any name. Then I downloaded the Iron tar.gz file from SWIron into that directory. Then I clicked the tar.gz file, which opened my compression/decompression app --tar.gz being a compressed file-- clicked "Select All" and clicked "Extract." All the Iron files were extracted neatly into a folder named "iron-linux." So it turns out that I didn't have to decompress Iron in a temporary folder as it created its own folder. On the other hand, had it not done so, I'd might have had files scattered alphabetically all over my "home" partition, which would have made it difficult to delete or upgrade Iron.
As the temporary folder was no longer necessary, I again clicked the desktop drive icon reflecting my home partition, dragged the iron-linux folder to that partition, selected "Move" and then deleted my temporary folder.
Next I clicked the iron-linux folder to open it and observed a file conveniently named "iron." It looked like an old fashioned ship's steering wheel, suggesting it might be the executable. I clicked it, and the Iron web-browser opened. I should note that my home partition is formated as a Linux partition. I'm not sure I'd have been so successful had it been formated as Fat, VFat or NTFS. The instructions given below for creating a script would have still have worked.
However, if your Home partition is formated Fat, VFat or NTFS, before proceeding further you'll want to make certain that the application will EVER run in your version of Puppy.
I'll explain later, but for now just click the "file" or "home" icon on your desktop, then click the "my-applications" folder. Drag & Drop & select "copy" the entire folder containing your external application into the "my-applications" folder. [Tip: copying an 150 mg Libre-Office folder into "my-applications" folder when you only have 50 mg left in your SaveFile may prove problematic. Don't do it. If you still want to use the external app, first resize your SaveFile]. At any rate, now that your "external application" is entirely within my-applications, click on its executable. If it doesn't start, some file or files are missing from your operating system and its best to postpone further efforts and delete both the "external application" folders within my-applications and outside your SaveFile. Become an accomplished Guru or wait for someone else to figure out what was missing and try again. Frankly, I've chosen the second option. If the application started, it's safe to proceed and you can delete the "external application" folder from my-applications.
If all I wanted to do was achieve easy access to the program, I could have just dragged the iron executable to my desktop, and perhaps given it an icon to make it look pretty. But I wanted a menu entry so that I could access it when my desktop was cluttered.
Edit August 9, 2017. See Below
To open any application its executable file must be called. There are many folders --referred to as "on the path"-- which your file manager is setup to look into for such executable files, but neither outside your SaveFile nor the "drive_C" folder created by Wine are among them. Fortunately, Barry K incorporated one folder, otherwise not used and easily found, which is "on the path." Click on the "file" or "home" icon on your desktop, and a window will open to your
"home" folder.
In Puppy, your
home folder
is sort-of-like "Documents and Settings" is under Windows. Your
home partition
is sort of like "C:\" would be in Windows, assuming you instaled Windows to C: drive. Within your
home folder
, you'll see another named "my-applications." And within that folder, you'll see another named "bin." My-applications, and all the folders within it, are "on the path."
You can't just move an executable from the location where an application installed it and expects to find it, into that my-applications\bin (hereinafter just called "bin") as that will break the integrity of the application. But you can create two types of files which, if placed in bin, will "call" the executable from there.
The first is a symbolic link (or symlink) which is like a Windows shortcut, but more powerful. When you drag an executable to your desktop, it automatically creates a symlink. But when you drag it to a folder it gives you several options including "copy," "move," and "Link (Relative)." Chose the latter to create a symlink. Useful as they are, regretfully symlinks don't survive attempts to include them in Pets so you'd have to manually recreate them in every new or additional Puppy. [Edited 4/5/11: See my post on how to include symlinks in Pets made using Petmaker:
.] As I wanted to just do it once and be done with it I used the second method for calling an executable.
The second is a script file. Puppy comes with a built in programming language, BASH which is very powerful and can be very complex if its full power is needed. Fortunately,
we only need one command,
" which takes
one "argument," the location of the file to be executed.
Right-click on an empty space in the bin folder and choose "New>script" and give it a name. In this case I called it "iron." Then I Right-Clicked my new iron script and selected "Open as Text." The file which opened already had the code which told Puppy that this was an EXECUTABLE file which required BASH to be started. That code read:
Going to the end of the line I pressed RETURN to start a new line, and typed the command "exec" --without the quotes-- followed by a space. Now I took a look at the window I had opened to the iron-linux folder. At its top, it gave me the full path to that folder: /mnt/home/iron-linux. So I typed the entire path, followed by a / and the name of iron's executable, iron, added a space and the command "$@"
including the quotes.
Frankly, I'd don't know what that means, but it was necessary. Perhaps its comic-bookeese, telling BASH "Now that you've done your job, f_k off!"
Now my script file read:
exec /mnt/home/iron-linux/iron "$@"
Clicked SAVE, and my script was done.
You can rename a script and change the second line to identify a different executable, and you have a new script calling a different executable.
In the following instance,
wine /root/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/SomeFolder/MyProgram.EXE
BASH is told to start the Wine Application, and wine is told to open MyProgram.EXE which is located in
/root/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/SomeFolder.
Note the space between wine and /root...
If you're in your "home" folder with hidden files shown [Click the "eye" at the top of the window so that the word "All" appears], and you scroll down you'll see a folder named .wine --starting with a ".". Opening it will reveal a folder named "drive_c" without the quotes. And opening it will reveal "Program Files" without the quotes. Because there's a space between the word "Program" and the word "Files", you have to put both words between the ' quotation marks so that BASH takes into consideration the space. Otherwise it stops reading at the end of the word "Program" and reports an error, not having found something with that name. I don't know why it isn't necessary to tell BASH "$@" when Wine is called.
Leaving bin opened, I searched for a usable icon. Although there are many folders where you can put an icon, putting it in bin simplifies the creation of the desktop file you'll need for your application to appear on your menu. As it happens, SWIron was kind enough to provide an appropriate icon in the same folder as its executable. [Right-Click a window's "eye" to show icons as thumbnails]. So I dragged and dropped it into bin, and chose "copy."
Now it was time to open the application folder in which desktop files are housed.
At the top-left of the window opened to bin is an UpArrow. I clicked on it a couple of times until I reached a folder simply named /. This is actually known as "root" being the "top" of the upside-down Linux Tree structure. [Because of a long history of Linux usage, which I'm powerless to change, there's a folder within / --called "root"-- which has the name "root" but which is, actually, your Home folder --identified as "~". The later is not to be confused with a folder named "home" which has nothing to do with your user files, nor with your "Home Partition," /mnt/home, which is where Puppy's boot and SaveFile are found].
At any rate, in / --the real root-- is a folder named "usr". Click on that, and then click on the folder named "share," and then click on the folder named "applications." While it is possible to write a desktop file from scratch, it's easier to modify a desktop file which has already been written correctly. Since Iron is a web-browser, and Dillo is a web-browser whose desktop file was written, I believe, by Barry K, I assumed that he knew what he was doing. So I Right-Clicked the file named "Dillo.desktop" and selected "Open as Text." Now, before I had a chance to screw up Dillo, I quickly clicked File>Save As and gave it the name "Iron.desktop." Scrolled up a bit to make sure there still was a Dillo.desktop file, I then scrolled down, Right-Clicked Iron.desktop and selected "Open as Text."
Leaving the structure untouched, I then overwrote what had been Dillo's arguments so that the file now read:
[Desktop Entry]
GenericName=Iron web browser
Iron web browser
Comment=Iron web browser from mnt/home
The text
above was
not bolded
in the desktop file. I've bolded it here to show the four essential arguments you want to have written correctly. The Name argument is the name which will appear in the Menu. The Categories argument identifies where in the Menu it will appear. The Exec argument identifies where the executable will be found --in this case the script I just wrote. And the Icon argument identifies where the icon which the Menu will display is to be found. The changes having been written. I clicked File>Save.
Now it was time to test. I clicked the iron.desktop file. I don't recall if Iron opened. Sometimes you have to restart the windows manager (shutdown>restart X), and sometimes you even have to reboot before your new desktop file will both work and show up in the menu. But before you do anything else, make sure you didn't overlook the listing of the application in the menu. From top to bottom, applications are listed alphabetically, but all applications whose name starts with a capital letter are listed before any application whose name starts with a small letter.
If, after a reboot, your application or its icon doesn't appear in the menu, or doesn't open when you click the menu entry, its time to retrace your steps and see what was broken. Open a window to /my-applications/bin and click on the script file. If that doesn't open the application, open the script as text and make sure you properly identified the executable and its path.
Linux is Case Sensative. Iron (with a capital "I") and iron (with a small "i") are two different files. And irOn is a third file.
If the script called your application, then make certain the desktop file properly identified your script as the executable. And the icon you placed in bin as the one to be used.
Now that you've done all this work, you'll never want to do it again. You avoid this by calling up Trio's Petmaker. You'll find it at
. In about five minutes you'll have created a pet which will properly install the script, icon and desktop file in any new or additional Puppy, and which can be used with any future version of the application you download.
If tomorrow I were to download a new version of Iron this is what I would do. First, I'd change the name of the present iron-linux folder to something like iiron-linux. Next, I'd again unpack the iron.tar.gz in a temporary file, and see if the name of the folder it creates is still iron-linux. If not, I'd change the name of that folder to iron-linux: Right-Click, Rename. Next, I'd open that folder to see if its executable was still called iron. If not, I'd change its name to iron. Operating systems speak their own language. Consequently, it usually doesn't matter to an operating system what we, for our benefit, have named a file or folder
unless it was part of the original operating system
. Then I'd Move the iron-linux folder to /mnt/home, open it and click the iron file to see if it works. If it did, I'd close Iron, and then click on the menu entry for iron. If it opened, I can then simply delete the folder I named "iiron-linux." If, at some point, something didn't work and I still wanted to use the new version, I'd have to repeat the steps I took the first time, beginning with decompressing the tar.gz.
One last note. Like every other application in Linux, fans of BASH are constantly "improving" it, and from time to time Barry K, or a Puppy dev uses a different BASH version. The upshot is the occasionally the script or desktop file you wrote in one Puppy will not be recognized as a script or desktop file in a Puppy using a different BASH version. Make a mental note of the icon identifying script files. Desktop files always appear using the icon you selected. If in another Puppy the script you wrote in one Puppy doesn't appear with a script icon, or the desktop file doesn't appear with the icon you assigned, it may be because the new Puppy is using a different BASH version. All is not lost. Merely change the name of the old script/desktop file, create a script/desktop file with the old name, open both files in a text editor and copy the text from the old file to the new one. Save. Delete the old file and create a new pet, giving it a unique name, such as with a different version number.
Happy computing,
Edit 8/09/17
: Following my post here on how to create menus for wine's built in programs,
in responding to a question on the Beginner's SubForum, it occurred to me that three files weren't necessary -- that the executable could be called directly from the Application's Desktop file @ /usr/share/applications. At most, in addition to the desktop file you might want to use an icon not already on your system. Either way, a desktop file for an application running under wine would look something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=wine /root/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/FOLDER_IF_ANY/MY_APPLICATION.EXE
Categories=YOUR_CHOICE; ## copy from an application already appearing there
If your application is a portable, the argument for Exec= would be something like'
Exec=wine /mnt/home/CONTAINING_FOLDER/MY_APPLICATION.exe
Change wine to wine.sh if using wine-portable.
One advantage of providing specifics of the executable in the Exec argument rather than a separate bash script is that Radky will shortly release a new version of PupMenu. It will parse the Exec argument in desktop files and, if the first 4 character's are wine, generate listing for that application under the Wine category of such menu, as well as the specific category which you've assigned.

Post subject: Getting LibreOffice and other Apps as Program Folders
Hi All,
I recently ran a series of tests that revealed running Libreoffice as a Program Folder made fewer demands on my system than running it as pet installed to my SaveFile, or even as a loaded SFS. That suggest that Program Folders may be the best way to run an application on a computer with limited RAM or a slow CPU. But see
for yourself, for other reasons to employ Program Folders and, perhaps, why not to.
One of the conclusions I discussed in that post was that using Program Folders (aka Program Directories aka External Programs) makes the most sense if they are of applications you frequently have open, such as Browsers, or are of a suite of applications not all of which you need to have opened at the same time.
Without regard to any question of the general utility of using a Program Folder rather than a pet or SFS –one size doesn't always fit all-- for the sake of completeness I figured you might want to know how to create your own. The previous post on this thread gave as an example downloading the tgz direct from its publisher.
. And Lobster has reminded us of the availability of Portable Linux Apps,
which are essentially prepackaged Program Folders, that are supposed to be functional in "Ubuntu, Fedora, debian and derivatives." As such they should work in Lupu, Lucid, precise-pup variants, and Exprimo. Some do, some don't. Puppies don't always have the files built into an Ubuntu or debian –part of the bloat we excise-- that portable apps expect to be present. But only thing lost in trying them is bandwidth and time. Just download one you might be interested in, set it to executable (using Rox, Right-click>select properties>check each of the 3 executable boxes) then click the icon. If nothing happens –not a good sign-- drag it to /my-applications/bin and select Link(relative). Reboot and try clicking the link. If still nothing, open a terminal at the original executable and type its name. You might receive a message telling you why it's not working. But don't ask me for help. I'm just a tinkerer. If you're into Games, you might also try those at
. If you find any you like you can add them to your menu per the instructions of the previous post, except that you call the application by name rather than the executable within the application. For example, Code:
exec /mnt/home/FBReader "$@"
You can also obtain Program Folders by unpacking pets and SFSes. To unpack a pet, change its ending from .pet to .tgz and then click it. Your default archiver will open asking whether you want to install a slackware package or decompress the file. Choose the latter. Your archiver will create a folder. You can change its name for convenience and move it to where you want it to be. To unpack an SFS, you mount it (right-click) and select "view." In the window which opens, select "show hidden files" just to be certain that you don't miss any, then press Ctrl-A and drag everything to a folder you previously created. Select copy. Somewhere within the folder of the decompressed pet or mounted/copied SFS will be both the executable and an appropriate icon you can use in your script and desktop files per the instructions of the previous post. The executable will usually, but not always, be in a /bin or /sbin folder, but there may be several, and its name, while suggestive, may not exactly be that which would appear on a menu. See, for example, the discussion of Libreoffice below.
Get yourself a copy of FreeOffice, currently available at http://www.freeoffice.com/en/download –or keep looking for it if it temporarily becomes unavailable. FreeOffice is a version of SoftmakerOffice, cut down in the sense that FreeOffice only includes a WordProcessor, and applications for creating/editing spreadsheets and presentations. All are able to read and write Microsoft Office files. To obtain it you have to provide an email address for them to send you a serial number. They don't abuse it. A couple times a year they'll send you a link to download free fonts. But they'll also advise you of the availability, for free albeit time-limited, of their beta upgrades to SoftmakerOffice, and when they do upgrade SoftmakerOffice, they'll offer it to you at a discount. Sometimes, when they do publish a SoftmakerOffice upgrade, they also offer to those on their mailing list a free copy of the now discontinued version. When you run either the FreeOffice or SoftmakerOffice installation app it provides you with a choice of creating either a full install --that is to your operating system-- or a portable install. The latter is a Program Folder you can copy to other computers or a USB-Key. I did a quick comparison of RAM and CPU usage by FreeOffice and LibreOffice. FreeOffice appears to use slightly less RAM but more CPU.
Oddly, regardless of what species of Linux you use, if you download either LibreOffice or OpenOffice directly from their publishers you obtain a bunch of rpm files. Rpm is the native package format of Fedora, Mandriva, and PCLinuxOs packages; while the native package format of debian and Ubuntu is deb. Puppy has pets for decompressing rpms, so its probably possible to manually decompress the rpms, and combine them in one directory to create a Program Folder. But is far easier to use 01micko's GUI to obtain LibreOffice,
after you've run that pet you'll have a SFS in xz format you'll have to decompress. (Lupu/Lucid can not natively handle xz compression). If you have knowledge of the programming language --I think BASH--with which 01micko wrote the script in his pet, you can probably edit it to terminate prior to its repackaging everything as an SFS. But then, you probably wouldn't be reading this post.
If you install Libreoffice4, or load a Libreoffice4 SFS, browsing your files you'll discover that the actual executables are located in /opt/libreoffice4.0/program. Desktop are used to generate menu entries. They contain arguments as to the executable to be called, the icon to be displayed and the menu category they are to appear under. Normally they are found in /usr/applications. Libreoffice, however, creates desktop files in /opt/libreoffice4.0/share/xdg pointing to the executables found at /opt/libreoffice4.0/program and the icons found at /usr/share/icons/hi-color/48x48/apps. It creates a symlink to that desktop file in /usr/share/applications. Previous versions operated in the same way, differing only with respect to the version identification shown in the name of the folder or icon, i.e. the 4.0 following libreoffice. Despite this name change, the same icons were used. Similarly, the same name was used for the executables: for example the wordprocessing application is actually swriter.
In creating a pet to access the applications in Program Folder Libreoffice4.0-External, as I intended to employ primarily the same technique discussed in my prior post, to save myself a lot of typing, and to make it easy to later upgrade to version 4.2, or 5 or whatever, I decided to drop the version designation in icon names. Within a temporary folder on a Linux formatted partition I created a folder named LibreOffice-External-4.0. Within that folder I created two other folders, one named root, the other named usr. Within root I created a folder named /my-applications, and within that a folder named /bin. Within bin, I created the first of eight scripts which I named sbase: using rox, right-click>New>Script. I opened sbase in my text editor and typed in the second line to the following code:
exec /mnt/home/LibreOffice-4-External/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/sbase "$@"
Saved. Right-clicked>properties, checked all boxes under Executable, closed, clicked to see if it would open the database manager. Closed. Opened the sbase script in my test editor and saved it as scalc. Opened scalc in my text editor and changed the second line to read, code:
exec /mnt/home/LibreOffice-4-External/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/scalc "$@".
Save, tested and proceeded to do the same with all LibreOffice's executables (see attached photo). There's a desktop file called xsltfilter.desktop. Both it, and startcenter.desktop open a wizard from which you can then open the application of your choice. I couldn't find any distinction between them, so I only created a script for the latter, which I called soffice.
Next, within, at the top level of my LibreOffice-External-4.0 folder I created a folder named usr; within that one named share, and within that two folders: one named applications and the other pixmaps. Into pixmaps I copied the icons from
/mnt/LibreOffice-4-External/usr/share/icons/hi-color/48x48 changing the names, as previously mentioned, by dropping the version designation.
Into the above mentioned applications folder, I copied the desktop files from /opt/libreoffice4.0/share/xdg, changed their names to be more generic, opened each and edited their executable and icon arguments to respectively reflect /root/my-applications/bin and /usr/share/pixmaps. For example, my writer file now reads, in pertinent part:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=LibreOffice Writer
GenericName=Word Processor
You may have to experiment with the Categories argument to get an application to appear on your menu. Open the desktop files of other applications which do appear on the menu and place the key words they use at the beginning of your desktop file's category argument. Delete words you doubt are useful, such as the above Red-Hat-Base.
When Libreoffice publishes a new version, unless it makes significant structural changes, it will be a simple matter to revise my pet by merely changing the folder referenced in the script files in /my-applications/bin.
When you're finished creating/placing/editing files in your Libreoffice-External-4.0 folder, open a terminal at the folder in which it is located and type, code:
dir2pet Liboffice-External-4.0
Then follow the instructions. Puppy will create a pet named Libreoffice-External-4.0.pet.
One last thing I should mention. While examining files in the Pup I was using to write this, although I am now using Libreffice-External, and do now not have Libreoffice 3.x installed or loaded as an SFS, apparently at some point I had. Uninstalling that pet or unloading that SFS apparently did not remove the Libreoffice3.x folder or its contents from /opt. Figure about a 100 Mbs of waste of my SaveFile.
Hope this helps,

Edit 2/19/13: The discussion following is still valid for applications in general. However, the current version of SWIron --and probably Chrome & Chromium-- can no longer be run as root. Starting its executable in a terminal explains that some modification can be made, but it is beyond my current ability to interpret how to do it. Opera and firefox, downloaded from their publishers continue to work as Program Folders.
Ironically, the new Chrome and Iron happen to be the exact reasons I'm reading your tutorial. I just got them working in Lucid 5.28 as root, and now I want to add them to the menu and the default browser selection list.
I downloaded both in 32-bit .deb format from the original sites (Iron downloaded from SRWare, Chrome downloaded from Google), saved them to my drive and clicked to install them with petget. After "installing" them with petget, here's how I got them working as root:
For Iron:
go to /usr/share/applications and open iron.desktop as text
add " --user-data-dir" (with a space but without the quotes) to the end of the "Exec" line and save the file. Clicking the iron.desktop file should now launch Iron.
For Chrome:
go to /opt/google/chrome and open google-chrome.desktop as text
add " --user-data-dir " to the Exec line located around line 108. Put it just before the %U. (Again, without the quotes but with a space before and after.) Clicking on google-chrome.desktop should now successfully launch Chrome.

Post subject: New script argument for SWIron
Hi All,
Thanks to Torgo's explanation, just above this post, I am once again able to run SWIron from /mnt/home.
SWIron makes it rather difficult to locate its Linux version. I had to specify "SWIron Linux deb download" otherwise only the Windows version showed up. Finally found it at:
Saved it to a temporary file and extracted it to a folder. Examination of the folder revealed that its executable, iron, was now located in THE WITHIN /usr/share/iron folder, and that a desktop file was similarly located in the within /usr/share/applications folder.
Since I wanted to run Iron from /mnt/home, I changed the name of the extracted deb folder to SWIron and moved it to /mnt/home. Then in /root/my-applications/bin I copied the iron.png and created a script named SWIron with --thanks to Torgo-- the following argument, Code:
exec /mnt/home/SWIron/usr/share/iron/iron --user-data-dir"$@"
Next I copied the supplied desktop file to the systems /usr/share/applications, and opened it to make the following changes:
The supplied desktop has Iron showing up in the network submenu.
Restarted X.

Just to add my two-penn'orth to Mike's explanation:-
Mikeslr wrote:
...sometimes you have to restart the windows manager (shutdown>restart X), and sometimes you even have to reboot before your new desktop file will both work and show up in the menu. But before you do anything else, make sure you didn't overlook the listing of the application in the menu. From top to bottom, applications are listed alphabetically, but all applications whose name starts with a capital letter are listed before any application whose name starts with a small letter.
I'm sure Mike himself is aware of this, but for the benefit of anybody who's discovering this kind of info for the first time, I just wanted to point out that
restarting 'X', it helps enormously to open a terminal, type
...and hit 'Enter'. This tells Puppy to re-write the /etc/xdg/templates/_root_jwmrc file, which is what generates the Menu configuration, as detailed in the 'hidden' /root/.jwmrc file.
This, in turn, simply makes sure that the new .desktop file you've just created has definitely been 'listed'
restarting 'X'. (I find it's better to restart 'X' than merely restart JWM.....the latter doesn't always seem to implement every step needed to display the new MenuEntry.)
But it
a very easy process to create MenuEntries; I've written so many over the years that I can almost do 'em in my sleep now.....and it's all thanks to Mike originally. And, having created the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, you can then utilise it as an item in the 'Launcher' area of the tray, between the Menu button and the desktop 'pager.....very easy to do, especially if you're running Radky's 'JWMDeskManager'.

Hi Mike Walsh,
You're being generous. When I wrote the original post on this thread 7 years ago, I may have known of the command 'fixmenus'. But using it wasn't something I had made part of my routine. So I didn't think of it and didn't mention it.
"Live-and-learn". Which is far better than its obverse.

No worries, mate. BTW, I didn't realise you'd been using Iron for as long as you have. You
aware that the simplest place to obtain new versions of Iron is on SRWare's own forums, yes?
Go into the 'SRWare Iron Support (English)' sub-forum, and there's a section in the stickies at the top where they've always got links to the most recent Linux release. It's where I download 'em from, when I make the 64-bit packages up...
(Talking of which, it looks like it's time to make the next new packages up. Good job I looked...)

Tesla founder Elon Musk stepped on the accelerator, delivering the biggest-ever sales quarter for the electric-car maker, despite recent distractions.
Tesla Motors — whose charismatic chief executive week unveiled plans to go to Mars with his Space X company — said Sunday it more than doubled third-quarter sales, to 24,500 units, from last year.
That was better than most analysts expected, including Brad Erickson of Pacific Crest Securities, who last week forecast 22,000 deliveries. Some Tesla's sales centers were discounting cars in the final days of the quarter to meet targets, he said, as a reason for his bearish outlook.
Musk sent an e-mail to employees last week, banning discounts on all brand-new, undamaged cars, including to "my family, friends and celebrities, no matter how famous or influential."
Tesla's strong numbers come as Musk is making a controversial bid to merge with SolarCity, a solar-panel installer co-founded by Musk's cousins, Lyndon and Peter Rive. Musk, meanwhile, has been grappling with the aftermath of a fatal crash in June in Florida of a Model S driver who was using Autopilot mode.
Tesla said Sunday it shipped 15,800 Model S sedans in the quarter, and 8,700 Model X SUVs. Tesla said the third-quarter delivery count "should be viewed as slightly conservative," as it has an additional 5,500 vehicles in transit to customers that will be counted towards fourth-quarter numbers.
For the final quarter of 2016, Tesla expects deliveries to be "at or slightly above Q3."
As such, Tesla said it remains on track to crank out 50,000 vehicles during the second half of 2016 — a feat that would meet Tesla's most recent goal to deliver between 80,000 and 90,000 cars this year.
To get the job done, Tesla lately has introduced a two-year leasing option for both the Model S and Model X. It also launched a new, souped-up version of the Model S, the P100D, which in "Ludicrous Mode" can go from zero-to-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, making it the fastest current mass production car in the world.
Still, Tesla remains well short of producing the 500,000 cars it aims to crank out in 2018, after launching its upcoming Model 3, which is targeted for the end of next year.
Tesla's Sunday announcement made no mention of profitability. In an August memo to employees, Musk wrote that "the third quarter will be our last chance to show investors that Tesla can be at least slightly positive cash flow and profitable before the Model 3 reaches full production."
Once the fourth quarter begins, capital spending to ramp up the Model 3 — a car that's priced more affordably, at $35,000 — will force Tesla's cash flow "into a negative position" until the Model 3 reaches full production in late 2017, Musk said.
Tesla shares, down 15 percent this year, rose 1.7 percent, to $204.03, on Friday.
