CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Limestone College's defense was the key on Sunday afternoon as the top-ranked Lady Saints won the 2011 Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse tournament with a 15-5 win over second-seeded Pfeiffer University at the Queens Sports Complex. Limestone stays perfect at 15-0 on the year while the Lady Falcons suffer their worst loss of the season to end the year at 12-6.
Limestone controlled the action from the start as Sarah Hebberd (Golden, CO) found the back of the net four minutes to cut the deficit down to 3-1 early. After a Raquel Prager goal for the Lady Saints, Natalie Marvin (South Berwick, ME) tallied later in the half as Pfeiffer trailed 5-2 at the break.
Jessica Moulton (Huntingtown, MD) gave Pfeiffer brief hope to start the second making it a 5-3 game, but Limestone would reel off the next five-straight cruising to the finish. Liz Melesh (Annapolis, MD) and Moulton would each hit midway through the period for the final strikes of the season.
Limestone outshot the Lady Falcons 33-14 while Pfeiffer held the advantage in groundballs 18-11. Kaitlin Booth (Winter Springs, FL) made nine saves in net for the Lady Falcons.

pUPnGO-2014-412 0.6Gb ISO
Subject description: codename:odbye
Link to download of iso (642Mb)
Thanks to ally!
Update 20140325:
OK - found bugs fixed - new iso uploaded. If you find bugs or things not working - you might want to report it and optionally file a patch/fix/workaround in this thread.
This is meant as a kind of an epilogue to pUPnGO - a final release that ships most stuff needed to build pUPnGO from source - not perfect - but should document most stuff released in the past.
I have tried to use official sources where ever possible - only a very few sources are not available in other places. But sources tend to vanish over time - that's the reason for including them all in the iso. Kernel shift is left out but it is quite easy to change the kernel and most scripts included supports newer and older kernels.
You will find patches that convert XFree86-4.8.0 to "tinyx", examples of how to merge several applications into one multi-call binary and hopefully loads of inspiration to compile and modify various applications.
The devx is an unmodified squashed pre-build uclibc toolchain (i386) from here: http://www.uclibc.org/FAQ.html#dev_systems.
Choice of applications and the specific version is what worked for me - you may change both for your needs - the recipes should be quite easy to read and modify.
Thanks to all who tested and helped me with pUPnGO in the past - no one mentioned but definitely no one forgotten!
Original Introduction:
You get:
* the core basic pUPnGO
* the pUPnGO tinyx GUI environment (Xvesa+Xfbdev+XFree86)
* the pUPnGO devx environment
* all sources, patches and build-scripts
* all pre-build packages for instant relief or use in most other puppies
* environment to build pUPnGO from source within pUPnGO.
Only rudimentary dependency check is done during the build. Run /src/pupngo_build.sh to get a safe build...
Everything build with static linking - modify settings to tailor you build to other settings.
You need 2.5Gb save-file (+ maybe swap) + patience (it takes time) + be prepared to adjust scripts to get it all done.
Short how-to (with save-file):
- boot CD/DVD
- type "firstboot" and choose "Configure now" - follow instructions (if you haven't wired network do not choose autoconnect to network).
- exit and type "poweroff". Create save-file in a partition with minimum 5Gb free space.
- reboot - you should now boot into GUI (tinyx_412.sfs and root_fs_i386_412.sfs autoloads).
- not all build sfs-files are loaded so use otf_sfs_loader.sh to load pupngo_build_412, pupngo_pack_01_412 and pupngo_pack_02_412 which are in /mnt/home.
- resize save-file (menu - settings - System Setup - Resize your personal savefile) choose 512Mb.
- you can either reboot and resize again (3-4 times) or edit /mnt/home/pupsaveresize.txt to say 2500000 (echo -n 2500000 > /mnt/home/pupsaveresize.txt) and then reboot.
- open rxvt and navigate to /src
- run ./build_pupngo.sh
- if everything goes well the new iso will be in directory /src/pupngo/output
If you have enough ram it should be possible to boot/build/burn directly from CD - I haven't the hardware to test that.
You can install programs from CD right after boot (without save-file) after loading tinyx_412.sfs via "firstboot" and afterwards launching GUI with xwin: Choose menu "Settings" - "Install Programs". Press "Settings" and navigate to cdrom (/initrd/mnt/dev_ro2 or /mnt/cdrom or /mnt/sr0), packages, allpacks. Choose "Save settings". After a while the package installer is ready. NB: Package-manager is slow to index all the pet-files (it opens all pet-files and extract info from the .desktop-files).

This, I like the sound of. Downloading now.
I had neglected pupngo for a while, but recently completed a Linux From Scratch build, and have added the static gui stuff from pupngo12.
Plenty more to play with now I think...

Did a frugal install and copied the src contents to HDD and symlinked back to avoid having a monster savefile.
Ran the pupngo_build.sh and it completed successfully in about 1hr 30 minutes on a Pentium M 2ghz.
Also symlinked the .ccache folder (once I found it) as it was eating up savefile space.
Posting from it now with Dillo.

goingnuts, is there any reason to use older versions of some packages? For instance, I got the latest Conky to build against tinyxlib, without a glib2 dependency.

Any thoughts on a version with just a static busybox+Xvesa+jwm. I can adapt my jwm tools to make jwm act as the package manager (using a menu and the new -reload arg to remove installed packages from the menu) to install only what is wanted if we have a repository. There is already an example in my jwm tools pet (something like jwm_install_menu_create) that uses Puppy's package list and is much, much faster.
re package managing .... instead of pet.spec (which has a lot of redundant fields and is missing some useful ones), I would use the info from the .desktop files (or equivalent), architecture, package size, version (major, minor, patch), minimum/recommended cpu, minimum/recommended ram, required devices (camera, printer, etc...) and dependencies (soft/recommended and hard/required) if any.
If we use the desktop files I think I can automate it to even handle language support.
Check out my
github repositories
. I may eventually get around to updating my

is the good stuff. I'm going to try using this as the base for a more *nix-like Pup, as in good ol' boring commercial Unix you would have found back in the day, but with a modern core, and kick-ass software and development tools to make a solid offering.
That and I'm very very bored, and as a college student with Autism, and who is out of work, and out of college for at least a couple months, I ought to do something with that time.

Trollans are a race of magical beings who are the dominant life form on Trolla, a world in another dimension. Trollans wear red robes, red hats, and hide their faces behind scarves. In Trollan society, showing your face to each other is considered an intimate act, similar to humans sharing a kiss. Trollans also have purple blood.Trollans appear to be blue-skinned humanoids with pointy ears. However, their feet remain hidden under their robes. Judging by the length of Orko's arms, Trollans have a physical stature similar to apes. Trollans have natural magical abilities, including levitation, which they exclusively use instead of walking, which may explain their very short legs.

How To Build It - The 1945-1986 Civilian JeepPosted in Features on March 12, 2014
Even though Willys wasn't granted the trademark for Jeep with a capital "J" until 1950, the company still slapped a "CJ" (Civilian Jeep) designation on their new civilian offering for 1945. The CJ stayed around all the way through the '86 model year and went through quite a few changes along the way. From the beginning, with flathead four-cylinders, closed-knuckle front axles, and two-piece rear axleshafts, all the way to open-knuckle front axles, V-8s, and even a stop at flanged rear axles along the way, there are a lot of things to cover. The springs started narrow, short, and thick for a truly horrible ride. By the end, they were longer, wider, and had less leafs for a better ride and better flex. Over all the years and all the CJs we've owned, we find ourselves often doing some of the same modifications. You might say our Jeeps taught us what they need, and we want to pass that on to you.
These Jeeps are all fairly light, but unless your Jeep came with a V-8 from the factory, it is likely it can use a kick in the power department. While a V-8-powered flattie can be a lot of fun, sticking an eight in one often leads to overheating problems, drivetrain clearance issues, and driveshaft problems. A healthy V-6 is often a better choice. A fuel-injected GM 4.3L, Buick 3.8L, or even an odd-fire V-6 are all good choices and fit under the hood well and are easy to keep cool. Plus, they are lighter than most V-8s.
The factory axles in the early CJs have really deep gears and help to spin the tires so toss a couple of lockers in there and go to town. They will often live under a V-6. If all you are doing is mudding, and not mud/rock crawling, power steering really isn't needed so as long as whatever steering you've got in there is good, leave it. Lots of guys go right to the wide axles, but if all you are doing is mud, those silly little narrow axles are beneficial. Because the tires are tucked further under the body, you are less likely to get a face full of muck. But the downside is that it's easy to pack the inner fenders up with the sticky stuff.
Even the flathead four-cylinders do okay in the rocks. Here it is less about power-to-weight than it is gearing and picking lines. If your engine is running well, keep it. There are lots of throttle body and even multiport fuel injection solutions to be had. If you are on more of a fixed budget, a Motorcraft two-barrel or Quadrajet four-barrel can both be adapted to many engines and made to work at goofy angles. Once you've got the angles taken care of, look into a lower low range for your T-case. If you have a Spicer 18, Dana 20, or Dana 300, there are many companies making lower low-range kits for them. If you've got the Quadra-Trac you are out of luck, but there was a 2.57:1 low range for those 'cases at one point.
If you are playing in big rocks, you are going to want a 'cage of some sort. Be especially careful if you have one of those factory bars that bolts only to the rear inner wheelwell—it's a common place for rust to form, and that obviously affects the structural integrity of the 'cage. Whatever the size of the rocks you are in, do yourself a favor and get or build rocker guards. There are lots of them on the market, or you can have your local metal place bend some plate to work for you. Front and rear lockers are almost mandatory, but we'd advise against a front locker in the closed-knuckle axles with any size of tire bigger than stock. A narrow-trac Dana 30 might be a good swap for you. If you are doing lots of off-camber, wider axles would be good and factory YJ springs flex like no one's business but do take some fabbing to get under there. And power steering makes the trip that much more enjoyable.
Sort of like the mud, running in the sand needs more power than what many of the factory engines put out, but many of these factory axles are so narrow that we'd probably look at swapping in wider axles first just for stability. Now we aren't saying like full-width axles necessarily, since 70 inches WMS to WMS is a full 20 inches wider than what many of these Jeeps came with originally. But Wagoneer and FSJ axles at 62 inches or 65 inches can give a good wide stance without looking cartoonish. Stick a rear locker in there or a spool; if you've got power steering, a front locker can help as well.
Most of these Jeeps can clear 33s with some trimming on factory springs that are in good shape. If yours can't, look into a 1-inch polyurethane body lift. Leave the spare, the hardtop, and the margarita machine back at camp to lighten the load, and you'll have a lot more fun in the sand with your Jeep.

Tiger Woods will make his return to pro golf next month at the Masters, where he'll compete to wear the legendary course's famous green jacket..
The golf superstar released a statement announcing his intention to play at Augusta National, where the tournament begins April 8. Woods last played Nov. 15, winning the Australian Masters. That was just weeks before his personal life exploded with a burst of tawdry revelations of extramarital affairs.
"The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect," Woods said in the statement. "After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta."
Woods is being represented by sports PR man Ari Fleischer, who was President George W. Bush's press secretary from January 2001 to July 2003.
Woods dropped out of sight in the aftermath of a wee-hours car crash outside his mansion near Orlando on Thanksgiving night. In the weeks that followed, a parade of women came forward to say they had affairs with the married father of two. Two weeks ago, Woods made a carefully orchestrated live appearance in which he apologized for his womanizing and said he'd been getting treatment for an unspecified problem.
"I have undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy and I am continuing my treatment," Woods said in Tuesday's statement. Although I'm returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life."
Woods is back at his home in Florida, where he has been seen practicing with longtime coach Hank Haney.
Returning to the classic tournament held at the Augusta national Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., will put Woods on the sports biggest stage, in front of its most knowledgeable fans. The storied club, founded by Bobby Jones on a former plantation, hosts the Masters every year. The three other major American tournaments rotate courses each year.
The Masters is famous for awarding the winner a green jacket bearing the club's logo. In addition to the jacket, the tourney's winner gets the right to play in all major tournements for the year.
Members of the club include Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jack Welch and T. Boone Pickens.
Six-time Masters winner Jack Nicklaus said last week that if Woods did return to the Masters and attend the annual Champions Dinner, it would not be any different than years past.
"Nah. It's the Champions Dinner," Nicklaus said. "His personal life is his personal life. As a golfer he's sensational and a great athlete. He'll figure out his own problems."

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) – George Zimmerman's trial in the shooting death of teen Trayvon Martin lasted nearly three weeks and concluded Saturday night with an acquittal. The case prompted debate nationwide over racial profiling, self-defense and equal justice.
Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, was found not guilty of second-degree murder in last year's death of Martin, who was black. The jury had the option to consider manslaughter but declined to convict him of the lesser charge. The six jurors considered nearly three weeks of testimony and delivered the verdict late Saturday night after two days and a total of 15 hours of deliberations.
Around the country, rallies and protests were held Saturday night and Sunday. They ranged in size from a few dozen to several hundred protesters and were largely peaceful, with few arrests. Vandalism of a police squad car was reported at an Oakland, Calif., demonstration. Many supporters of the Martin family wore hoodies, as the teen did when he died.
The White House doesn't usually respond formally to trials unless they involve the president or federal government, but it issued a rare statement Sunday. President Barack Obama called Martin's death a tragedy: "Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America." He asked that people respect the call for calm reflection. He called the U.S. "a nation of laws" and said "a jury has spoken."
The families of Zimmerman and Martin posted reactions on Twitter on Saturday. Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., tweeted that he was "proud to be an American." He told CNN that though his brother is free, he'll forever be looking over his shoulder. Martin's parents expressed disappointment. Mother Sybrina Fulton tweeted, "Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you."
The case was covered on several Sunday morning TV talk shows, and celebrities also reacted. Beyonce took a moment of silence at a concert in Nashville. And the case was a topic at churches around the country, with many leaders urging peace in the wake of the verdict.
The judge issued an anonymity order for the six jurors during the trial. That order remains in effect, so their names have not yet been made public. Judge Debra Nelson had said she would rule on when to release the names upon the trial's conclusion. The order does not prevent jurors from choosing to speak to reporters now that the trial is over.
Zimmerman left the courthouse as a free man. The NAACP has called for the Justice Department to open a civil rights case against Zimmerman. Though the department has a history of using federal civil rights law in an effort to convict defendants who've previously been acquitted in state cases, it's not always easy. The department said in a statement Sunday afternoon that it's looking into the case to determine whether federal civil rights charges should be filed.
Supporters have suggested that Martin's parents file a wrongful-death civil lawsuit against Zimmerman. Zimmerman's lawyers have said he'll seek immunity. Florida's stand your ground law, which gives people wide latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat during a fight, may offer him that immunity if a judge concludes he acted in self-defense, said David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor in Miami.

'Tigerrific' boost for conservation
Source: Sunshine Coast Daily, Page 5, February 14 2004
Remember the first swimming lesson? I bet you weren't anywhere as near as confident as a baby Bengal Tiger. Born with a natural affinity with the water, at 12 weeks of age the little tiger cubs' first few swimming lessons are going ÔÇťtigerrificÔÇŁ. Being one of the only big cats that like water, in the wild tigers would naturally spend many hours a day lounging around in the shallows of a stream to beat the heat of the day.
The tiger cub exhibit is a part of the next stage of development for Australia Zoo which will encompass displays of South East Asian and Madagascan wildlife. This will expand the 60 acres to over 250 acres. Other zoological regions to be developed at Australia Zoo include a huge Africa division.
The Zoo's tiger cub interactive experience generates funds towards tiger conservation. For your opportunity to have a Tiger Cub Experience, contact Australia Zoo on 5436 2000.
Just the ticket for new movie and tiger cubs

What better way to spend a Saturday than combining the chance to meet the three beautiful Bengal tigers from Australia Zoo with a special preview screening of Mike Myers' latest flick The Cat in the Hat?
Well tomorrow you can ÔÇô and tickets are even almost half their normal price for the occasion.
Birch Carroll & Coyle Sunshine Plaza is hosting this special event and tickets are on sale from the cinema now for just $7.
The screening is on at 10am tomorrow and all money raised from ticket sales will go to the Steve Irwin Wildlife Fund.
The three playful tigers, just 20 weeks of age, will be in the foyer from 9.15am.
Those attending the screening will also be able to bid for some unique ÔÇťtiger artÔÇŁ which is sure to raise even more money for this great cause.
The male tiger cubs joined the Australia Zoo family last December in an effort to raise awareness of the pressures on the decline of tiger numbers in the wild.
Bengal Tigers are disappearing at an alarming rate because of habitat destruction and poaching. It is estimated that there are only between 2000 and 3000 Bengal Tigers left in the world.
The event is supported by Australia Zoo. For more information contact the cinema. The Cat in the Hat opens nationally next Thursday.

For most people, rolling around with a tiger is the stuff of nightmares but for three local blokes it's a dream come true. They chew the fat with Anastasia Hackett.
Blue-eyed baby tiger triplets cuddle up in the corner while their three surrogate fathers discuss their antics with pride in their eyes. ÔÇťYou've pretty much got to keep a 24-hour watch for the first five months,ÔÇŁ says supervisor Robbie Doyle. ÔÇťIt's just like having a baby ÔÇô three of them,ÔÇŁ adds senior handler Giles Clark. Then manager Bruce Murdock chimes in, ÔÇťThey're better than a baby, though. You can kick them out earlier.ÔÇŁ
This strange little family is the latest addition to Australia Zoo. In an effort to begin a breeding program, the zoo adopted three two-week-old Sumatran cubs to join the three six-month-old Bengals already in the tiger compound. ÔÇťWe consider these guys as the luckiest and most enriched cats in captivity because they are constantly stimulated and receive really hands-on training,ÔÇŁ says Robbie. Hands-on is almost an understatement. Robbie has been virtually living with the new cubs since they arrived five weeks ago. Someone has to be there around the clock for all the traditional parental duties ÔÇô supply five feeds a day, sterilise bottles, take them out for exercise, entertain them with toys, break up fights and, of course, clean up.
ÔÇťYou've got to do a lot of down-time with them so they basically get bored with you over a period of time so when you walk out the gate you are not a novelty,ÔÇŁ explains Bruce. It's a strategy he's spent more than a decade perfecting in zoos and at Dreamworld's tiger island where all three trainers worked before moving to the Sunshine Coast. It's not the sort of job that comes with an instruction manual. ÔÇťIt's more a matter of people tried it and died and refined the technique from there,ÔÇŁ says Bruce with a spooky sort of seriousness. But he is quick to add that the most dangerous thing about tigers is their fear and they usually attack only when they feel threatened.
All the guys have had a few near misses. ÔÇťThey are never going to be tame. They are always going to have their teeth and their claws and their instinct. You're not going to take the wild out of them, they're still tigers,ÔÇŁ says Giles.
The wild is not something these guys wish to remove; in fact the main focus of their project is to save it. Only about 4000 tigers remain in their natural habitat. Three of the eight tiger sub-species are now extinct and only a few hundred Sumatran tigers remain.
While the Australia Zoo breeding program aims to sustain this endangered group, it will never be possible for the tigers born in captivity to be released into the wild. That's why a crucial part of the program's focus is to donate funds to localised conservation programs like the Lifeforce project in India where Giles previously worked. ÔÇťIf we can inspire just 10 percent of the people that come through here to put back into projects in the wild and change their attitudes toward conservation, we'll be a success,ÔÇŁ says Giles.
Some of the things they want the average consumer to recognise are that some timber and paper products used in Australia are logged, sometimes illegally, from traditional tiger habitats. ÔÇťThis is not just the tigers, the elephants and the pandas, it's me, you and your grandchildren,ÔÇŁ says Giles.
Sumatran Tiger cubs arrive at Australia Zoo
News Source: Sunshine Coast Daily, page 2, 28 May, 2004
The newest members of Australia Zoo made their debut to the media yesterday ÔÇô three Sumatran tiger cubs. And ÔÇťcuteÔÇŁ didn't go far enough to describe the eight-week-old female and two males who are as yet unnamed.
Australia Zoo's marketing manager Peter Lang said it was a proud day for the Zoo. He said there were only 500 left in the wild worldwide so as well as being a cute edition to the Zoo, they have taken on a more serious role becoming part of the future breeding program and ultimately tiger conservation. With more than 50 Sumatran tigers being killed annually we could witness the species extinction in just a few short years. ÔÇťWe want to introduce people to the Sumatrans and the Bengals so people understand how beautiful and exciting they are and experience them, then help us save them,ÔÇŁ Mr Lang said. ÔÇŁIn the future we will be getting more tigers to start the breeding program at Australia Zoo. We are building state-of-the art expansive new tiger habitat and that will part of our Asia Madagascar exhibit opening soon.ÔÇŁ Along with the tigers, there will be elephants, otters, urangatangs and many other exotic animals from Asia and Madagascar. ÔÇťSure it's fun and a nice cuddly experience but on the serious side we are committed to wildlife and habitat conservation.ÔÇŁ Mr Lang said the money raised through the Australia Zoo tiger experience went to the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation to save the tigers.
The new babies will be on display from 10am to 2pm every day, along with the Bengal tiger kittens which do their tiger walks around the park.
Zoo introduces three Sumatran cubs
News Source: The Range News, page 15, 3 June, 2004
By: Kate Johns
Australia Zoo has introduced three new members to the Australia Zoo family. These gorgeous new additions are Sumatran Tiger cubs at only eight weeks of age. The cubs have been hand raised since they were two weeks of age after being born at Mogo Zoo on the south coast of NSW.
The Sumatran tiger cubs are part of Australia Zoo's tiger conservation scheme on educating the public about these magnificent creatures. The cubs will participate in an international breeding program to try and increase the number of Sumatran tigers.
At the moment there are an astonishing 300 to 400 Sumatran tigers remaining in the wild. With over 50 Sumatran tigers being killed annually for bones and body parts which are used in Traditional Chinese Medicines around the world. Australia Zoo is planning to have the best Tiger conservation destination in the world.
ÔÇťWe have less than 400 Sumatran tigers in the world with 200 in captivity ÔÇô we need to change thatÔÇŁ said Steve Irwin. ÔÇŁWe have set aside 100 acres out the back to build a multi-million dollar tiger facility which will be the largest in the world.ÔÇŁ
All proceeds from the tiger souvenirs at Australia Zoo goes towards tiger conservation.
Singha's cuddles show why tiger woman Lisa loves her job..
News Source: Sunshine Coast Daily, page 1 & 2, Saturday 3rd July, 2004
By: Belinda Warren
Like many before her, when Lisa Baker joined Australia Zoo as a casual admission officer, she dreamt she would one day get up close and personal to the animals. The dream became reality when the 19-year-old started the year off on a high, beating the boys to become the Zoo's first female tiger handler on New Year's Day. Yesterday, she became a celebrity in her own right, handling her charge, a 13-week-old Sumatran tiger cub Singa, as well the visitors, bureaucrats and the media. The former Caloundra High School student and 1998 winner of a Dolly magazines's Best Friends competition, has steadily advanced her career since arriving at the Zoo.
First, Lisa was promoted to admissions supervisor, then she successfully applied for the tiger handler vacancy.
Lisa loves the interaction with the animals and the fact she is working on the conservation side and is learning something new every day. ÔÇťThey mean a lot to me though they are quite fiery, bity and agile. I'm an animal lover so I love being around the animals and feel happy and relaxed. It's just a lot of fun," Lisa said. Sometimes she works 50 to 60 hours a week when the animals require extra care and attention. She said that was okay, though, because the Zoo offered flexibility with its working times under the company's Australian Workplace Agreement (AWA).
Steve Irwin and his wife Terri have been officially recognised as AWA ambassadors by the Office of Employment Advocate for their use of individual contracts among employees.
The Zoo has grown from 50 to 450 staff within two years and chose AWA's for their simplicity and fairness. They have been recognized with many awards including the 2002 and 2003 Queensland Tourism Award and the 2003-2004 Australian Tourism Award for major tourist attraction.
Human Resources Manager Sandy Whitehead said AWA's helped form a more effective working relationship between management and staff. ÔÇťWe went from multiple awards down to one AWA for everyone in our team,ÔÇŁ Ms Whitehead said. ÔÇťInstead of dealing with different penalty rates for public holidays and weekends, we pay a higher rate all year round.ÔÇŁ And does our tiger tamer have any thoughts of swapping cats for the catwalk? ÔÇťYes, but I wouldn't leave working with the tigers. Modelling would only be on the side for a bit of fun. ÔÇťAs for my dream job that's a good question. I suppose I'm living my dream job now,ÔÇŁ Lisa said.
Don't miss this tiger tale
Movie preview to help endangered tiger species of the world
News Source: Sunshine Coast Daily, page 23, Saturday 20th November, 2004
If you're looking for ways to help stop the extinction of tigers make sure you don't miss the preview of Two Brothers today at 10am at Birch Carroll and Coyle Sunshine Plaza.
It's the story of two tiger cubs separated from their family in the jungle and brought up to be fighters and killers, and stars Guy Pearce as the adventurer who learns killing is not the way of the future.
All tickets are just $7 and the money will be donated directly to the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation where all funds raised go directly to help the tiger of the world.
If you can't make the movie, the Australia Zoo tiger handlers have recommended some simple ways we can all help to reduce the environmental impact we are having:
- Don't buy products made from or containing endangered species ÔÇô traditional Chinese medicines, souvenirs and lucky charms. While there is a demand for these products, animals will continue to be slaughtered.
- Don't buy products made from hardwood timber such as teak and mahogany. This hardwood comes from virgin forests that are not logged in a sustainable manner and are the homes to many of the world's endangered species. Even the brand of office paper you use in your computer at home may affect these forests.
- Invest your money wisely. Many of today's financial institutes invest in unethical programs, both against the environment and human rights using your money to do so.
- Buy fair trade products ÔÇô make sure that the product you are buying is not supporting the abuse of people in developing countries. Poverty and environmental degradation often do hand in hand.

James Cross Giblin has enjoyed a dual career in children's books, first as an editor and then as an award-winning author. A native of Ohio, and a graduate of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, he came to New York City in 1954 to get a Master's Degree at Columbia and stayed on to start a career in publishing.
After spending three years as an assistant editor at Criterion Books, and five years as an editor at Lothrop, Lee and Shepard, he went to the Seabury Press in 1967 as editor-in-chief of its fledgling children's list, Clarion Books. By the 1980s, Giblin had built Clarion into a highly respected imprint publishing such honored authors and illustrators as Paul Galdone, Eve Bunting, Mary Downing Hahn, Eileen Christelow, and Russell Freedman.
He had always had a desire to write, however, and in 1980 he published his first children's book, a photo essay titled The Scarecrow Book. Since then, twenty-four more books have come from his pen and computer. Among his noteworthy recent titles are Good Brother, Bad Brother: The Story of Edwin Booth and John Wilkes Booth (Clarion, 2005), The Many Rides of Paul Revere (Scholastic Press, 2007), and The Rise and Fall of Senator Joe McCarthy (Clarion, 2009). Mr. Giblin continues to make his home in New York, a city he loves.

Most Mountain Lion 'Sightings' In Texas Unreliable
AUSTIN, Texas — Most reports of mountain lion sightings in Texas are never verified with physical evidence, although such reports can arouse fear and cause a local publicity stir, according to wildlife experts with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
In one incident this spring, TPWD's John Davis pulled up a photograph on his computer that someone had taken in a neighborhood north of Austin showing an animal's tail barely visible behind a cedar tree.
The man who sent the grainy mobile phone photo said the animal was a large cat, prompting some people to speculate it was the latest in a rash of supposed mountain lion sightings in urban areas. Closer inspection proved otherwise.
Davis, TPWD conservation outreach coordinator and a former urban wildlife biologist, examined the size of a prickly-pear pad next to the cat in the photograph and used it as a scale to measure the animal's size.
"That's a feral cat, maybe about 18 inches tall," he said. "It's not a mountain lion."
Also this spring, TPWD Game Warden Arlen "Turk" Jones handled a report of another supposed mountain lion sighting.
Jones said a woman reported a mountain lion chased her as she rode away on a bicycle in a semi-rural area near Austin. Jones' investigation revealed the animal in question was not a lion, but was instead a Great Pyrenees dog that the property owner kept to guard goats.
John Young, a TPWD mammalogist who keeps the state's lion sightings database, said the department receives between 400 and 1,000 reports of mountain lion sightings each year. However, less than one percent of the reports are verified by physical evidence such as tracks, scat, photographs or a mountain lion carcass.
Young said even photographs can be deceiving both with regard to the animal in the picture and the location the photograph was taken. He said he has received the same photograph that was reported to have been taken in two different towns of what the sender claimed was a mountain lion, but in fact appeared to be a large house cat.
This lack of conclusive evidence indicates that true mountain lion sightings in urban and residential areas are rare, but they are still possible. Young said mountain lions have occasionally been spotted in areas adjacent to cities where the land is less developed and undisturbed with roads. These can occur along river or stream corridors or greenbelts or other areas with plentiful white-tailed deer, the preferred prey for mountain lions.
Nonetheless, mountain lion encounters are unlikely around urban areas, such as Austin.
"We're completely surrounded by urban and residential areas," Young said. "There aren't long blocks of contiguous habitat suitable for mountain lions. The likelihood of seeing one is extremely rare."
Residents have reported mountain lion sightings in each of the state's 254 counties, but researchers have only recorded mountain lion mortalities in 67 Texas counties. Mortalities — confirmed mountain lion carcasses — are the most accurate reflection of where mountain lions exist.
A TPWD report indicates that as recently as 2005 no mountain lion mortalities have occurred in Travis County. Burnet County is the only adjacent county in which a mountain lion mortality has been confirmed.
Mountain lions' range in Texas is primarily in the west, south and central regions with a core population in and around Big Bend National Park and on private land in South Texas.
Mountain lion attacks on humans are equally rare. Only three attacks on humans in Texas have been reported since 1980, all in remote areas of West Texas.
Likewise, from 1890 to 2001, only 98 mountain lion attacks were reported across the United States and Canada and of those only 17 were fatal. Conversely, each year about 20 people die from injuries sustained during dog attacks, and more than 200,000 individuals receive injuries from dogs that are severe enough to require sutures.
Young said most supposed mountain lion sightings last less than 10 seconds. In that short span of time, it is easy to mistake another animal for a mountain lion, especially based on the color, which for mountain lions — and many animals — ranges from a tan yellow to a creamy brown.
"You can convince yourself very rapidly that (a mountain lion) is what you've seen," Young said. "People really want to see them."
Young said in the event of a supposed mountain lion sighting, residents should question what they believe they saw before concluding that the animal was in fact a mountain lion.
Davis attributes the high number of false mountain lion sightings to fear.
"I've seen fear be at the root of every one of these problems," he said. "People get excited when they see an animal they don't expect to see."
Davis said a lack of exposure to wildlife also factors into peoples' confusion and misguided fear of certain animals.
"A lack of familiarity breeds fear. A rancher would never call a fox a mountain lion, but for someone who hasn't seen a fox or a mountain lion the two can look the same," he said, citing another incident in which a caller mistook a fox perched on her privacy fence for a mountain lion.
Young said people can familiarize themselves with mountain lions by looking at pictures of them on the Internet and in magazines. They can also visit the Internet and learn how to distinguish mountain lion tracks from those of other animals.
Davis said even looking at two-dimensional photographs can sometimes cause confusion when an observer thinks he or she has seen a mountain lion because the photographs do not demonstrate the animal's size. He suggested that people visit a zoo to see live mountain lions to familiarize themselves with the size.

wbrst brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 71 Designs von 22 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I need a new logo for my Christmas related site titled 'Santa Letter'. The site is targeting kids with their parents but the design should appeal mostly to children.
Santa Letter
Free free to use any kind of santa claus or north pole type graphics in the logo. I thought maybe using a santa hat in the logo could look cool but I am open to everything. Even though the title is 'Santa Letter' you don't have to include anything relating to writing a letter to santa (but you can if you'd like to).We are willing to purchase any reasonably priced stock photos you might want to use (feel free to use the clipart with any watermarks on it and if your design is picked we will purchase it).
- The background color behind the logo can be white, green, or red and can include christmas images like snowflakes or other Christmas symbols as a background (I will need a copy to use as the background for the rest of the page).
- The lettering should be white, green or red (or a combination). If you need an additional color to balance out the look, a little yellow is ok.
- We are looking for a cartoonish look, something fun for kids to see
- nothing serious or corporate looking

Jsimms needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
2 winners were selected from 434 designs submitted by 107 freelance designers.
Cross Community Church
We are a multi-site church located in South Florida. Our mission is to change lives by connecting people with Jesus Christ. Three elements are important in this. We want people to Grow, Connect and Serve. We have a strong emphasis on serving our community and those less fortunate around the world. We are definitely a Christian church. Our services feature a more causal and relaxed atmosphere, contemporary music and life-related teaching.
Our target audience is the community around us. Being in Palm Beach County, Florida, our audience tends to be somewhat diverse with cultural influences from the Caribbean, Central America, New England and more. Our audience tends to be younger families.
We need a logo that will communicate who we are. It will be used on our signage, website, letterhead, etc. It will give a first impression to many people about what is important to us. We want it to be inviting to people. We want designers to have creative freedom, but something that reflects our commitment to Christianity (such as a cross) and our commitment to the community/world would be preferred. Font style and lettering should reflect a sense of accessibility and openness. It should feel inviting not exclusive, creative but not too edgy.

Quilted by Dawn, Family circle quilt
This is a Denyse Schmidt quilt pattern (Single Girl), but since I made it for our happily married bed, 'Single Girl' didn't seem like quite the name I wanted for it, so we call it 'Family Circle.' I had been wanting to make this design for a long time, trying to get Katie Jump Rope fabrics to make is, but alas - I came into the game too late to scoop up that fabric line. When the Hope Valley line came out, I quickly bought some fat quarters, then added and subtracted fabrics from my stash until I came up with an acceptable balance.
I brought this quilt everywhere, dragging it around on a cookie sheet to keep the peices flat, while our kids went to soccer games and dance practice. I actually really hated the colors as I was making it - in little pieces it just didn't seem to flow, but now that it's together, I like it again.
I love tags - stuck this one on included into the binding, and love that idea. I think I'll do it again sometime.
Anyway - it's done!!! That was a lot of work, and sure is nice to snuggle up with at night - all the stippling just makes it drape so nicely. Well done, me!

I spent a long time reading this quilt just admiring all of the colors and how the flow when put together into this awesome family circle quilt. I am also working on a quilt with curves (pickle dish) and it is amazing when they are all put together. When you said cookie sheets at soccer games, was this done by hand?!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments. No, this was not quilted by hand, but it took just as long to pin together as it did to piece together, and that's what I did at all the kids' practices - even had to buy extra pins to get me through practice times. I'm hoping to get the shams done soon - those hexagons are being stitched by hand, but I adore them.

San Pablo City is famously known as "The City of Seven Lakes". And for good reason. Because it really has seven lakes, though not as large as nearby Laguna de Bay. And definitely NOT artificial like the one in Nuvali (in Santa Rosa City). These seven lakes are not ordinary water formations since they have a subterranean background with a "volcanic touch".
Scientifically, the seven lakes of San Pablo are classified as "maars" or low-relief volcanic craters. Maars were formed by what volcanologists call a phreatomagmatic eruption (heck knows how it's pronounced; I might be able to do it with a mouthful of polvorón). Such eruptions are rare; they occur only when groundwater comes into contact with magma.
The lakes have queer native names, some of which are familiar to Tagalog speakers. Nobody knows who gave them their names. But as is the usual case in our culture, legends have been passed on from generation to generation. And since hundreds of years ago, nobody knew the difference between a phreatomagmatic eruption from a scorned lady, people really had to come up with stories about their origins.
Here are the brief profiles of each lake as well as their legends.
1) Lake Bunót (30.50 hectares; 23 meters average depth)
Bunót was named after —you got it— that whatnot cleaning item that you use to make the floor as shiny and sparkling as your high school classmate's oily face. Its origin comes from the never-ending Spanish-indio– miscommunication story. Spanish soldiers who were new to the place inquired the name of the lake from a man who was husking coconuts by the lakeshore. Thinking that the soldiers were asking for the native name of the coconut husk, the man, probably Raymart Santiago's ancestor, innocently replied bunót.
2) Lake Calibató (42 hectares, 135 meters average depth)
Calibató was said to be the turf of a nature spirit locally known as a diwatà. The place was once a rich valley filled with wild game and fruit-bearing trees. But she was angered when natives constructed rocky pathways which criss-crossed her haven. She must have turned green and big like the Incredible Hulk because she caused an earthquake. Afterwards, she must have transformed into Ororo Munro of the X-Men to cause a severe storm that transformed the valley into what it is today: a lake, but which provides abundant fish (probably those who constructed the pathway, just a crazy guess). It is believed that the name Calibató was a combination of "Cali", a corruption of the Spanish word "calle" or street, and "bató", Tagalog for "rock" (sorry, no crystal meth jokes allowed).
3) Lake Mojicap (14.50 hectares; 80 meters average depth)
The story of Mojicap (spelled nowadays as Mohicap) is about a religious couple who had a very sickly daughter named Mónica. They made a promise to do anything if God heals her. God granted their prayer on condition that the child should only stay inside their elevated hut and must never set foot on mother earth. One day, while Mónica was sewing her dress, the ball of thread that she was using fell on the bamboo slat floor and slid towards the earthen ground. Her parents were out on a date so they were not around to retrieve it. The poor child had to recover the ball of thread by herself. Reminiscent of nighttime TV soaps, it was apparent that the parents were too secretive towards their daughter regarding their pre-natal deal with God, because the girl didn't wait for her parents to retrieve the ball of thread. So upon stepping on the ground for the first time in her life, she immediately collapsed, then water spewed forth from the earth, drowning her and the entire neighborhood. Voila, a new lake emerged. For some reason, the name Mónica eventually became Mojicap (this means that actress Danica Sotto has a fair chance of having her name changed to Dajicap Sotto pretty soon). Mojicap, by the way, is my wife's favorite lake among the rest. She finds its turquoise-colored waters fascinating.
4) Lake Palacpaquin (43 hectares; 7.50 meters average depth)
Nope, Palacpaquin has no "let's-give-them-a-round-of-applause" (or "magpalacpacan tayo") myth. Elders instead will tell you that it was once a river where a mysterious lady (probably a diwatà again) used to wash her long hair every full moon by the hollow trunk of an ancient tree called palacpaquin. A big fish also appears in the river every time the lady washes her hair. Hmmm… May crush yatà. Anyways, nobody dared to catch the fish, fearing that it was owned by the lady. And maybe because it was too big to be caught, if I may add. One day, a stranger suddenly thought that he's Sherlock Holmes, so he started to investigate the mysterious lady and her queer fish pal. One moonlit night, he saw the mysterious damsel. As he approached her, thunder and lightning shook the earth, causing the river to swell. No, Thor wasn't there (he'd rather visit a First World country). It's just that no mortal man was allowed to go near the damsel. So in a matter of minutes, the river had become a lake. There was no more sign of the stranger, the lady, and the fish. But in their place was a large quantity of shrimp from which the popular cuisine Hipong Palacpaquin originated.
5) Lake Pandín (20.50 hectares; 63 meters average depth)
Now this lake is paradise! My personal favorite, and the most popular among travelers. And this lake has a twin: Yambó, which can be reached on the other side via raft. Or if you think you can be the next Michael Phelps, go ahead and do a butterfly stroke towards the other bank. Anyway, both Pandín and Yambó are separated by a narrow strip of elevated hill. The story of these is almost similar to that of Mojicap's. It tells of a story of a barren couple who kept on praying for a child. One day, a diwatà (I wonder if she's the same femme fatale from the Calibató and Palacpaquin tales) appeared to them and told them that they will be granted a daughter only if they promised not to allow her to set foot on the earth, to which the couple agreed. They named the girl Pandín who grew up to become the hottest chick in town. One day, a suitor of hers, Yambó by the name, invited her to come down from her hut while she was sewing. But Pandín, faithful to her parents' instructions, objected. Without saying a word, Yambó immediately climbed up the hut, grabbed Pandín's ball of thread, then threw it outside. In anger, the girl totally forgot her parents' instructions. She angrily went down the hut to fetch her ball of thread, and to probably give Yambó a beating a la Claudine Barretto. The next thing that happened? I bet you already know — two gigantic waterfalls appeared! Joke.
6) Lake Sampáloc (104 hectares; 10 meters average depth)
Sampáloc, the largest of San Pablo's seven lakes, took its name from a tamarind tree popularly known in Tagalog as champuy. Oh, I'm so nuts today. It's sampáloc, actually. As I was about to say… a long time ago, a sampáloc tree grew in the garden of a stingy old hag who drove away a hungry old man asking for some fruit as a cure for his ailing grandson. Instead of helping him, the stingy old woman had him driven away by her ferocious dogs. Little did she know that the old man was actually a diwata in disguise (probably the first case of folkloric closet queenliness). As punishment for her selfishness, her garden and its surroundings sank into a colossal pit which was eventually filled with water. The new lake was called Sampáloc after the old tree. And thank goodness it is not called Champuy Lake.
On a side note, Sampáloc was the original name of San Pablo before the Super Spaniards came.
7) Lake Yambó (28.50 hectares; depth unclassified)
My arthritic hands are stiff and tired. But thanks to item# 5 (Lake Pandín), there's no need to retell the Yambó story. So I am going to finish my breakfast now.
In closing, do I really have to describe in detail the prettiness of each lake? Sans the occasional eyesore (informal settlers, a couple of plastic water bottles here and there, pesky fish pens that are already stressing out Lake Bunót, etc.), even that would have been an injustice. All I can say is simply this: visiting all these lakes and reminiscing the scenes in your mind will surely make you hilariously happy that you would go nuts writing, or on whatever it is that you are doing. 🙂
NOTE: All photos, except for Lake Calibató, were taken last 16 April 2012. The photo for Lake Calibató was taken the next day.

K&M(402 items found.)
Sort by:
K&MWith over 50 years of experience K&M ha s become one of the best-known manufactures of high quality accessories in the music scene. At Musik Produktive we have many years of experience with the K&M products, they are always among the top sellers for stands, music stands and other equipment.
The company was founded on 1. Mai 1949 by Karl König und Erich Meyer using the brandname König & Meyer (K&M) in Wertheim. K&M started production of music stands and chromatic tuners with a total of 10 employees. Quality, innovative design, functionality and exclusive materials have always been very important and make every K&M product something special. Legendary bands like the Beatles, the Dire Straits, Reamonn, Silbermond and many others relied and still rely on K&M whilst performing, just as many classic orchestras world wide.
Like no other company in this business K&M has understood that the compromise less quality orientated conception of musical accessories and the realising of innovative ideas, would pave the path to become the epitome of perfection. K&M-music stands, K&M-microphone and instrument stands, K&M-speaker stands, K&M-seats as well as the hole range of K&M-accessories for lighting solutions, PA solutions and studio technology, that are made in Wertheim are affiliated by optimised production and first class materials, functionality and aesthetics. The K&M products have often been copied, but were never matched.
K&M products can now be found in around 80 countries worldwide. 60 % and more of the production leaves Germany to go into export. Modern computer technologies are used whilst developing, constructing and manufacturing at K&M and forms the foundation for the success of K & M.

Canadian 2011 Census results: Will they be controversial?Saturday, February 11th, 2012
The Vancouver Sun reports on the 2011 Canadian Census result, tabulated by Statistics Canada, more popularly, if there such a thing as popularity within a bunch of statisticians, known as StatCan. Though Canada is not typically known for controversy the 2011 Canadian Census caused quite a stir. But here's the nitty-gritty:
Statistics Canada has now released the first installment of the data from the 2011 Census that took place in May of last year. These data relate to population and dwelling counts. Further installments of data related to age and sex of the population, families, households and marital status will be made available through the year.
From 1971 to 2006, the census included two parts: the short form and the long form. The short form included questions of a tombstone nature with the main objective being a head count. The long form included the remaining questions that were focused on getting respondents' socio-economic information in areas such as the labour market, income, transportation, education, disabilities, housing, citizenship and ethnicity.
For the 2011 Census, the federal government decided to eliminate the long-form census that had 53 questions while maintaining the short form with eight questions. Two questions on language that were previously in the long form were added to the short form. Still being a census, the short-form questionnaire remained mandatory. The quality of the short-form data being released starting Wednesday, therefore, should be broadly as good as that released from the previous censuses.
Wednesday's release showed that, on average, the Canadian population over the past five years grew 5.9 per cent to reach 33,476,688. Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Yukon and Nunavut posted above-average, and all other provinces and territories below-average, growth. The sources of population growth over the past decade have been two-thirds through immigration and one-third through natural increases.
