When engaged with a theist in any religious discussion, the most anti-theist comment you can make, the most devastating statement, the most accurate shot at the very essence of the theist's world, is a simple, and irrefutable statement you make about yourself, and that is: "I'm sorry, (insert name here), but I do not share your faith in the existence of a supreme being".
It is not necessary to challenge the "existence" or "non existence" of the object of their faith.
That you confess to your lack of faith, focuses their attention on the affirmation of their own faith. It is effectively anti theistic because it turns their attention toward the very foundation of their view of a god-centered world by forcing them to justify the existence, not of god, but of their faith. Introspection is an enemy of ignorance. Introspection sparks inquiry.
Attacking what they have faith in is never effective.
But, making them think about the nature of that faith is the first step in removing the cornerstone that will ultimately bring down the entire structure. A most satisfactory conclusion, I would presume, for the most anti-theistic among us.

Liberty News
Law school ranks high for bar exam preparation
Liberty University School of Law has been ranked in the top 15 percent of "Best Schools for Bar Exam Preparation" by The National Jurist, a magazine for law students.
"This is a great honor to be ranked so high among the 200 other ABA-approved law schools," said Dean Mat Staver.
The rankings were based on an analysis of LSAT scores and bar exam performance, identifying the schools that are outperforming what their scores predict.
Liberty ranked just behind Yale Law School and University of Virginia School of Law.

After quite a while resting on my more or less laurels (past listings) it's time to get a move on and put up some more listings. My goal is five books every day from now on. This should be achievable, but not according to my past performance.
These books get listed in three places: on Amazon, Biblio, and Half. Books without ISBNs (older books) generally will not be listed on half. My prices might vary between these three places. Amazon and Half tell me competing prices, so I peg mine on them. Thus, if the lowest price for Deadly Percheron is $98 on Amazon, I might peg mine at $95. If it weren't my only copy maybe I'd be more reasonable. In fact, I think my Biblio listing is more reasonable.
Going forward (and possibly backward), links to titles of books will send you to the main Amazon listing. My listing will be somewhere amidst the other maybe 237 listings. This is where my photo of the book can be seen, which will probably be a better one than the one Amazon features. Half doesn't let me attach my own photo—at least I don't think it does. Photos are also at biblio. Lots of older listings still don't have photos. Nor updated prices.
I've been lousy at selling direct via email. Sorry about that, if you've tried me. Listing through the major portals keeps me honest—also prompt and reliable.

Skepticism 2.0
D.J. Grothe
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 33.6, November / December 2009
When Carl Sagan, James Randi, Paul Kurtz, Martin Gardner, Ray Hyman, and others came together in the mid-1970s to form the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP, now CSI), did they plan on starting a worldwide grassroots critical-thinking movement? Did they craft a plan to deputize everyday people to speak out in their communities about the prevailing nonsensical ideas of the day? Did they envision young people meeting up regularly to be skeptical together, as in the growing Skeptics in the Pub events in cities across North America and around the world?
I doubt it. These men had the laudable ambition to organize leading thinkers and social critics to respond authoritatively to growing trends of credulity in society: increased belief in the power of psychics, the phenomenon of Uri Geller, UFO beliefs, ancient astronaut theories, popular belief in ghost hauntings and channeling, faith healers and religious charlatans, and the like.
The founders of CSICOP succeeded admirably by many measures: they published magazines and books, spoke out in the entertainment and news media (including on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, which repeatedly featured CSICOP founders), and convened national and regional conferences for subscribers.
But I submit that they didn't plan a movement from the start. The movement grew organically around the ideas that CSICOP and the Skeptical Inquirer, and later other skeptical organizations and magazines, promoted.
Within about a decade of the Skeptical Inquirer's launch, the members of the educated public who subscribed found that it wasn't enough for them to get a magazine about skepticism in the mail four or six times per year. So
CSICOP helped found local skeptical organizations, often at the behest of subscribers in a given area, initially drawing from CSICOP's own magazine subscriber lists. Groups were formed in the Washington, DC, and Los Angeles regions and in a number of other cities around the U.S. and abroad. A movement, not merely a magazine, was beginning to form.
In recent years, new developments in technology and society have allowed this skeptical movement to reach out in new directions, sometimes departing from tested ways of advancing the skeptical outlook that have worked in the past. This is the next generation of skepticism. This is Skepticism 2.0.
New Media for New Audiences
Often citing inspiration from the founders of CSI, an "average Joe" skeptical citizen, possibly without special training or background in skepticism and with the help of only a computer connected to the Internet, can reach out to an audience that the skeptical magazines and organizations never would have reached just a few years ago. Blogs, podcasts, and social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook allow anyone—including skeptics and believers—to advance a point of view to the wider public.
Promise and Problems of Skepticism 2.0
Podcasts such as the New England Skeptical Society's Skeptics Guide to the Universe, online communities such as the one found at the James Randi Educational Foundation's Web site, and blogs such as Rebecca Watson's Skepchick.org shine as examples of Skepticism 2.0, as do amateur skeptical projects such as Tim Farley's WhatstheHarm.net and the growing SkeptiCamp events started by Reed Esau. But local individuals and groups using the Internet to reach out to and inform the public about skepticism can do only so much.
The national organizations, such as CSI, offer an opportunity for inspired local activists and groups to avoid "reinventing the wheel" and may provide valuable promotional and underwriting support of important new local projects, as well as offer expertise on various skeptical topics (Joe Nickell's work comes to mind). Even more important is the professionalizing of the movement, which the national organizations allow for and encourage. A case in point is skeptical campus outreach: a national organization, with the support of donors and a paid staff, can impact campuses in joint effort with local activists in ways that neither can do alone.
Skepticism's cultural competitors (purveyors of "woo woo," as James Randi would call them)—the New Age movement, alternative medicine hucksters, UFOlogists, etc.—often draw on the resources and organizational power of national groups devoted to pushing those agendas. The same should be true of the next generation of the skeptical movement, Skepticism 2.0.
Skeptics in the Pub and the Future of Skepticism
Over the last few years, fueled primarily by Internet outreach through social networking Web sites, Skeptics in the Pub and similar activities (skeptical meet-ups and Facebook groups, etc.) have cropped up in dozens of cities, often independent of preexisting local or national skeptical organizations.
What happens when these groups grow and their members want to "take it to the next level"? New local groups are formed with structure, leadership, and programs. Money is raised, membership programs are created, and if all goes well staff is hired and buildings are bought. In other words, new national organizations may grow out of the local and independent projects of Skepticism 2.0. But is that the best path to plot if the movement is to be plotted and planned?
I think a better model is for independent local projects—the successful examples of Skepticism 2.0—to find organizational homes. When they need resources, they should look to the long-standing local and national organizations for support. They should be part of the organized skeptical movement, not outside of and apart from it.

text: While easily accessible from all points abroad, and boasting all the amenities of the Western world, the Republic of Macedonia remains one of Europe's last undiscovered countries, a natural paradise of mountains, lakes and rivers, where life moves to a different rhythm, amidst the sprawling grandeur of rich historical ruins and idyllic villages that have remained practically unchanged for centuries. The majority population is Slavic and Orthodox but there is also a significant Albanian Muslim minority, so one can expect a wonderful mix of architectural and ethnic heritage. The country represents the Balkans in the truest sense, consisting of a fascinating mix of Slavic, Albanian, Turkish, and Mediterranean influences.

Retail giant Macy's said Thursday it will close a store at Paseo Colorado in Pasadena as part of plans to shutter six underperforming stores nationwide. The company will also open a Bloomingdale's store in the Glendale Galleria.
Macy's will shutter the 158,000-square-foot Pasadena location in early spring. Other locations targeted include stores in Las Vegas, Houston and Honolulu.
Final clearance sales for the Pasadena location will start Jan. 7. Sales will run for seven to 11 weeks.
Karen Hoguet, Macy's chief financial offer, said in a statement that the retailer closes "underperforming stores that no longer meet our performance requirements or where leases are not being renewed."
Hoguet said Macy's also opens new stores in important markets. That would include nine new and replacement Macy's and Bloomingdale's locations planned, including the Bloomingdale's in the Glendale Galleria.

This is as good a time as any to fix Social Security's financing problems. In fact, Congress's decision to allow the 2-percentage-point reduction in the payroll tax to expire as part of the fiscal cliff negotiations clears the path for restoring full solvency. Of course, Social Security has not contributed to the deficit in the past and technically cannot in the future because, by law, expenditures cannot exceed earmarked revenues. But Social Security's promised benefits exceed scheduled taxes, creating a financing shortfall that needs to be fixed.
The political climate is daunting for any sensible endeavor. But I can't think of any reason why next year will be better than this year. And we are coming up on the 20th anniversary of evidence of a significant shortfall in the program. I am particularly sensitive to the date because in 1994, as assistant secretary of treasury for economic policy, I was handed a draft of the trustees report showing a jump in the long run deficit from 1.5 percent to 2.1 percent of taxable payrolls (see the chart at left). As a big supporter of this wonderful program, I was dismayed to have the deterioration in the system's finances occur on my watch.
Restoring balance to Social Security is crucial for the well-being of every worker, because Social Security provides the base of retirement income. The benefits are not large – about $1,200 per month on average – but they are indexed for inflation and continue as long as people live. The only other retirement income for most households will be that produced by assets in 401(k) plans or other defined-contribution retirement plans. The Federal Reserve's recent Survey of Consumer Finances shows that these assets are modest – $120,000 for households approaching retirement. If a couple purchases a joint-and-survivor annuity with $120,000, they will receive $575 per month. This $575 is likely to be the only source of additional income, because the typical household holds virtually no financial assets outside of its 401(k) plan.
The key question is how much of Social Security's financing gap should be closed by cutting benefits vs. raising taxes. My view is that retirements are at risk. The need for retirement income is increasing as people are living longer, health care costs are soaring, and two-thirds will need some long-term care. At the same time, the retirement system is contracting. Our National Retirement Risk Index shows that 53 percent of households are at risk of not being able to maintain their pre-retirement living standards once they stop working. Given this outlook, while any package will involve some compromise, we should be careful about large cuts in benefits.
Solving Social Security's financing challenge requires some combination of increased revenues and slowing of benefit growth. On the revenue side, some attractive proposals include increasing the contribution and benefit base gradually to a level covering 90 percent of total national earnings (about $180,000 at current income levels) and gradually eliminating the tax exclusion for group health insurance so that both employee and employer premiums are covered by the payroll (and income) tax. No one wants benefit cuts, but two possible options include increasing the Full Retirement Age (after it reaches 67) to keep pace with improvements in longevity and adopting a "chain-weighted" consumer price index for Social Security's cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Adverse effects of the COLA adjustment on the low-income or the very old could be offset by increasing the minimum benefit or making a 5-percent adjustment at, say, age 85.
In short, everyone who cares about retirement security should welcome the restoration of the payroll tax. This change brings the deficit back into manageable territory. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the shortfall and really take Social Security out of fiscal policy debates.
CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this post, the last years 2010-12 were inadvertently cut off the chart; the chart has been updated.

It's nearly impossible to believe that for years, General Contractors had only one solution for their debris--the landfill. Today, environmental responsibility is essential for success in the construction industry. Waste Management Sustainability Services specializes in the creation and implementation of diversion programs that support General Contractors (GCs) in setting, understanding, and attaining Construction and Demolition (C&D) diversion goals. In order to balance the environmental and economic demands of a project, a comprehensive solution that includes planning, communication, tracking, and follow up is imperative.
Here are four main factors essential for making C&D diversion work:
1. Construction Waste Management Plan
Creating a Construction Waste Management Plan (CWM) is the first important step in a successful diversion program. This plan will include an outline of the diversion goal, as well as waste prevention plan; it will address communication, education and training; it will identify recyclable materials, and establish non-recyclable handling protocol; and finally it will determine eventual reuse of renewable raw materials.
2. Pre-Construction Meeting
Once the CWM Plan is established, the next critical step is the Pre-Construction Meeting. This meeting lays the foundation for the GC and sub-contractor feedback and buy-in. All parties involved will be able to gauge the support from each of the groups, and agree upon the logistics of how to accomplish the diversion goal. Solutions may include using a co-mingle dumpster, or site separated dumpster to collect C&D recyclable and non-recyclable material.
3. Monthly Tracking
The CWM Plan and logistics require consistent progress tracking to distinguish strengths and weaknesses in the diversion program. The data can also help identify off-site contamination that could delay progress, or even detect commodity pilfering. Waste Management's internet-based Diversion and Recycling Tracking Tool (DART), allows GCs to benchmark progress and to create customizable reports, allowing quicker data review and project diversion submittal.
4. Follow-up meetings
Follow-up meetings keep the diversion program on track. Waste Management assigns a single point of contact construction representative to provide guidance and resources for GCs through all phases of construction. This expert support person will supply up-to-date knowledge of local disposal regulations and requirements; help keep the project on time and on budget; as well as offer expertise in the Materials and Resources section of LEED® New Construction.
Incorporating the four steps outlined above for C&D projects will not only increase diversion success, it will also ensure the company gets the most out of the construction and demolition materials.
To learn more about how to minimize waste and maximize efficiencies through every phase of construction, contact Waste Management Sustainability Services at 877-441-3046 or visit wmsustainabilityservices.com.

I love trivia. Little-known facts, seemingly useless bits of knowledge taking up space and brain cells and keeping me endlessly entertained. Suduko? Crossword Puzzles? No thanks. I'll take 'Jeopardy Questions for 1000' please!
So, we had a contest in the Sock Club this past weekend. I wanted trivia. Things that make you go huh?? Srsly?? Here's a collection of submissions for your enjoyment:
Mice live a couple of years but mole rats can reach the venerable age of 28. The long life is probably a consequence of their protected existence. Mice have a short life span because they have many predators. Better to breed fast and young than prepare for an old age none will never [sic] live to see. Gray squirrels, on the other hand, have fewer enemies and can live for more than 20 years." (Don't tell the Yarn Harlot the squirrel thing. It's best to keep that one to ourselves.)
Mosquitos have teeth.
In Old English, "wife" was grammatically neuter, so it was normal to say, "I spake with thy wife and it said."
A certain well-known fairy tale features slippers of glass, which a moment of thought will reveal as absurd. However, the tale dates to medieval France, and the French for glass - verre - is pronounced the same as ermine - vair - a fashionable slipper material of the day.
Dimetradon (see image from http://www.vfxtalk.com/newsimages/fcfc_dimetrodon.jpg), were not dinosaurs. Despite being a dino look-a-like, these sail-backed creatures lived in the Permian, (299-251 Million years ago) and are actually more similar to mammals than dinosaurs. The difference lies in the skull. Mammals, Dimetrodon, and other "Mammal like reptiles" of the Permian are Synapsids (meaning there is a single hole in the skull behind the eye), dinosaurs, snakes, lizards and corocodiles are Diapsids (two holes in the skull behind the eye). Mososaurs, Pleisiosaurs, and Pterosaurs (which lived in the Mesozoic (think: Jurassic and Cretaceous), 251 to 65 Million years ago) were also diapsids although they are not dinosaurs. Also Birds evolved from dinosaurs!
Celery contains eugenol (the active ingrediant in clove oil and used intemporary dental fillings to numb the cavity) which will cause some people to get a numb feeling in their mouth when they eat it.
When Mozart was a little boy, he had a canary. Mozart was so smart that he could tell that his canary sang in the key of G major.
Did you know the placement of a donkey's eyes in its' head enables it to see all four feet at all times??
The length from your wrist to your elbow is same length of your foot. Your mouth produces 1 liter of spit/saliva a day.
There are some species of armadillos that only give birth to identical quadruplets.
In order to avoid predators when they're at sea, elephant seals sleep at a depth of 1,000 feet. They can do this because they don't breathe while they're asleep. While a typical dive lasts half an hour or so, they can stay underwater for up to two hours.
Gummibärchen were invented in 1922 by Hans Riegel, owner of Haribo. They are not only tasty little things, they are also subjects of art:
The dot over an "i" is called a tittle.
The can opener was invented about 50 years after the can.
If you get some of your own blood on something, your own saliva will remove it.
The most widely used form of mass transportation in the United States is the elevator.
So, who won the contest? Well around here, we're pretty concerned about predators. Specifically, Mosquitos. The fact that they have teeth... well, I can't slap fast enough now and I think I'll go munch on some garlic and stock up on bug spray for the coming summer - it's on sale right now you know! Here's what I found in detail when looking this one up:
Mosquitoes have four knife-like tools of serrated teeth that surround a pair of fine tubes — one for dripping a pain suppressor and one for sucking blood.A common house mosquito (Culex sp.) stabs the skin with her sharp
snout and saws in with her four knife tools to draw blood. She shoots in saliva laced with anesthetic (to escape notice) and an anticoagulant (to keep blood flowing). Then she sucks blood.
In 90 seconds, she sucks enough blood to nourish 100 eggs or more — and is too heavy to fly. She makes a controlled descent to a close safe spot where she squeezes in on her abdomen. Water oozes out of the blood, filtered through the abdominal wall, and forms a large drop.
Light again, she takes off.
During her short adult life (two weeks to a month) she bites one to three times, says Larry Weber, naturalist and author of Spiders of the North Woods.(quoted from usatoday.com 9/8/2005 'WonderQuest' by April
So, Debby won the Club Contest and she's won some wonderful yarn I'll get in the mail here this week. Feel free to post your own trivia to the comments section, I love a good trivia-read ;-)

She is one of the most honored players in the history of Lipscomb athletics, winning both Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Year and Atlantic Sun Player of the Year last season. She also was a member of the Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-South Region First Team and an NFCA Third Team All-American.
"It's a big honor for her and for our program to have a player honored on the national level," Lipscomb Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "It says a lot about where our program is right now and obviously the contribution she has made to that.
"It couldn't happen to a better person. She comes to practice every day and works hard. She has the natural talent and natural ability but what a lot of people don't see is her work ethic and how she has worked to improve her game from her freshman year until now."
Kiihnl was 33-5 with 12 shutouts and a 0.95 earned run average in 2010. Her earned run average was the lowest in NCAA Division I.
"Whitney is the first player we have had on the list. She is very much a team-oriented person. She just wants our team to win. She continues to raise her expectation level.
"She also knows there are 15 other players around her that we are relying on as well. She is just one of the pieces of the puzzle."
The ASA will announce the 25 finalists on April 13. A player does not have to appear on this initial watch list to be considered as a top 25 finalist. However, once the top 25 finalists are named the winner of the award will come from that list. *Freshman qualify for the top 25 list once they have competed at the collegiate level.
Just days before the start of post-season play, a list of 10 finalists will be named and released on May 11. The final three finalists will be announced May 25 while the winner of the 2011 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year Award will be announced prior to the start of the 2011 NCAA Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.

Carlos Beltran is supposed to begin running this weekend, and if there is no setback, the clock will begin on him.
Originally, the Mets said four to six weeks for his return after beginning baseball activities. That puts him at the end of May.
That's just an estimate. The Mets, like all teams, won't put a specific date for a return from an injury.
Expect the Mets to be ultra-conservative with Beltran, especially considering what happened this winter. If anything, they'll keep him out longer than needed.
In other injury news, Jose Reyes will play in a Florida State League game tonight, and if there are no complications he should be activated Saturday.
Well, Jerry Manuel said he wanted to get everybody in a game by the end of the homestand. Four new starters tonight for the Mets behind Jon Niese against the Marlins.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) – Eleven men suspected of links to al-Qaida pleaded not guilty on Thursday to terrorism charges related to an alleged plot to attack the U.S. Embassy and shopping malls in Jordan.
It is the first major plot linked to al-Qaida since a triple hotel bombing in Amman that killed 60 people in November 2005. At the time, al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for the bombing, citing its rejection of Jordan's alliance with the United States and its cordial ties with Israel under a 1994 peace treaty.
There has been speculation that militants might seek to use Jordan as they consolidate their foothold in neighboring Syria, which is embroiled in a bloody civil war.
The suspects _ two Jordanians and nine Jordanians of Palestinian origin _ entered their pleas at the opening session of their trial at Amman's military court. Three civilian judges presided over the brief public hearing, which later adjourned until Feb. 28.
Standing in the dock, the bearded men wearing dark blue prison uniforms shouted the battle cry of Allahu Akbar, which is Arabic for "God is great," when the judges took the bench.
All 11 suspects have been in police custody since October.
They are accused of plotting simultaneous attacks on two shopping malls in the Jordanian capital to distract police as they assaulted the U.S. Embassy with rockets and homemade explosives. The indictment said al-Qaida "explosive experts," based in Iraq and elsewhere, assisted the suspects with manufacturing "lethal" explosives from raw material.
The foiled plot allegedly called for gunmen to kill U.S. diplomats on the embassy grounds.
The defendants also allegedly planned to kidnap and kill Western tourists and attack other unidentified diplomatic missions and Western targets, the indictment said.
It said the group is headed by 22-year-old Jaafar Dardas whose family hails from the West Bank town of Hebron.
Of the remaining 10, two defendants were also actively involved in recruiting young Jordanians to fight alongside rebels against the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the indictment said. Like other Arabs, Jordan's predominantly Sunni Muslim population is critical of Assad, who is from the minority Alawite sect, a secret offshoot of the rival Shiite Islam.
The indictment said others in the cell bought and attempted to smuggle arms and ammunition from Syria, taking advantage of confusion on the border caused by an influx of Syrian refugees into Jordan.

Yes, I can see it's getting confusing. So here are the complete steps:
Boot to the Puppy 5.1 CD, and install toughbooksmk-k220.127.116.11.pet
Now load the toughbooksmk module, plus evdev module -
modprobe toughbooksmk
modprobe evdev
It may be necessary to add this to /etc/modules.conf -
alias char-major-13-67 evdev
It wouldn't hurt.
Now modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file;
Add these two new InputDevice sections -
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchscreen"
Driver "evtouch"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS2"
Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
Option "MinX" "82"
Option "MinY" "146"
Option "MaxX" "4036"
Option "MaxY" "3999"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "On"
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "dummy"
Driver "void"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Notice ttyS
In Section "ServerLayout" find the line:
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
and below that line add this -
InputDevice "touchscreen" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "dummy"
Now it's time to restart the X server.
Ctrl<Alt>Backspace will exit X and leave you at the command prompt.
UPDATE: before relaunching X, it's very important to run this command -
inputattach -smk /dev/ttyS2
Now you can launch X with "xwin"

CoronelN, I'm back from Christmas break, but before I compile the modified kernel, I realise that it's very important to run the "inputattach ..." command before X is launched.
I have updated the instructions two posts earlier. Can you try this? You might be lucky and not need a modified kernel.

I mean as far as i undersand the kernel doesnt necessarly changes between versoins... or i am wrong ?

I am completely new to Linux and obviously Puppy 5.1.1 and have spent the last 2 days working out how to create a Puppy LiveUSB and install Java and run a Java app. I finally got that all working and now the problem i have is getting my Elo touchscreen working correctly. I run the xorg wizard and probed for a suitable driver and then used xvidtune to fill out the space. So the display is working fine but its the touch input that i'm having the trouble with.
This thread has brought some light to my situation. i have read through it thourghly and have a small understanding of what I need to do but still don't really know where to start.
I put the command into the console;
modprobe elo and got a warning: deprecated config file so i renamed the file with a .OLD extention as advised by another website.
Then i entered the command again which seemed to work correctly. Then i entered modprobe elographics_drv and got error FATAL: Module elographics_drv not found. The module is definately there as I have found it in a search of files.
If anyone would be able to give me some help or guide me through this process, I would be extremely grateful.

I can give you some advice regarding this particular touchscreen driver, but I cannot guarantee it's actually the
touchscreen driver for you.
You should really tell us exactly what your computer hardware is.

Well assuming the elo touchscreen driver is correct, you should refer to the earlier post in this thread
"HOWTO - serial touchscreens"
Your kernel module would be
and your Xorg input plugin would be
(the "_drv" extension should not be used in the xorg.conf file).
mcelmeel wrote:

modprobe elo and got a warning: deprecated config file
That error message is trivial. Your elo kernel module would have loaded just fine ... but is the elo module really correct for you?
mcelmeel wrote:

No, no. "elographics_drv" is an Xorg input plugin, not a kernel module. It's not loaded by the modprobe command, it's loaded by the Xorg server, after being configured in the xorg.conf file.

Hi tempestuous,
Thank-you very much for your reply. The exact monitor I'm using is a Elo Entuitive 1746L/1749L. The computer hardware is a Neoware Thin Client (Neoware CA19).
I have checked the Elo website for drivers and they provide drivers for the popular Linux OS but not for Puppy.

I have done that and am in the middle of editing the xorg.conf file. I set the driver as elographics but i have found another thread where a guy has got his elo touchscreen to work using driver evtouch. Do you think i should try this instead? Thanks.

just realised that it was an ubuntu forum, so maybe just stick with the elographics. I was looking for the minX settings, do you think they will be the same as a different Linux distro?

OK, I'm still trying to get the touchscreen input working and am getting closer and learning more but just can't get it right.
Its a usb input so i'm using the usbtouchscreen kernel module and evtouch xorg file.
i followed the instructions very carefully and edited the xorg.conf file correctly with the new device data copied exactly from the post as well as the code into System Layout.
Everytime i do it and then reboot, it says that X has not worked correctly or something and that I have to run xorgwizard again.
I have tried several times with no joy. Have you any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Also, each time i start the first instruction;
modprobe usbtouchscreen
modprobe evdev ##
i get the error: deprecated file /etc/modprobe.conf and i have to rename the file .OLD. Would this have anything to do with it not working as the same error message displays during the reboot right befire the X thing?

sorry guys if i seem to be filling this thread up with just my posts but i want to give as much info as possible incase someone is able to help.
what is happening is that when i follow the instructions and add all the code to xorg.conf, then when i restart the x server the following happens
FATAL: deprecated etc/modprobe.conf something something /etc/modprobe.d/
Starting X...
Exiting X
xwin [f95|wnm] to start x
If x did not start, enter xorgwizard. poweroff or reboot.
i get this everytiime or something like this as it is all from memory as i can not copy it. I have to run the xorgwizard each time to get the system working again and when this is done, all the code entered into xorg.conf is gone.
Also, there is reaction from the mouse pointer via touch but it is well off calibration but i can not change this since the code is gone inc MinX,MinY etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Scanned: Warrant round-up nets city $188k-plus
It was like shooting fish in a barrel for the past few days with officers from the Beaumont, Port Arthur and Groves police departments working together to set up optical license plate reader camera systems throughout the city of Beaumont and stop drivers whose license plates alerted police to outstanding warrants.
There's no doubt motorists saw an inordinate number of patrol units parked in the middle of major roadways and at busy intersections throughout the city. It was all part of an initiative called the Great Texas Warrant Round-up, and it's bringing in big bucks for Beaumont. It's a statewide crackdown on scofflaws who've failed to square-up with municipal courts for traffic tickets, parking violations and other types of Class C misdemeanors that have made the transformation from citation to arrest warrant … and it's working.
In fact, it has worked so well in Beaumont that during the first two days officers cleared up more than $60,000 in outstanding warrants. And over the course of a two-week grace period prior to the round-up, more than $128,000 was brought in.
While the numbers may seem high, it represents only a fraction of the outstanding traffic warrants on the city's books dating back to 1994. Some of those fines and fees are uncollectable, but officers say they will work to find as many people as possible so they can take care of their business with the city.
According to Beaumont Municipal Court administrator Deanna Davis, there is more than $12 million in uncollected fines and fees owed to the city of Beaumont. She added that because some people may have died, moved to other states or be incarcerated, it is likely the city will never collect all of the money, but the warrant round-up has worked well.
"There are several phases of enforcement, but when they pay you can basically assume that half goes to the state and half goes to the city," Davis said. "Every year we take in around 40,000 cases; it fluctuates, and we probably have between 800 and 1,000 cases a month that end up as warrants. It is hard to stick a number on it because we are always getting new cases.
"The only grace period was that we were trying to get people in and have them come to court and meet with the judge. They are never arrested when they come to court, but we did have a unit with a license plate reader pulling people over and bringing them to the court."
Officers hailed the round-up as a huge success, and even some of the people taken into custody weren't too bummed out by the ordeal.
"I just forgot to take care of it and I should have," said a man named David, who was waiting on his family to bring a credit card. As he sat at the back of a prisoner transport van, he was very matter-of-fact about what happened.
"It was my fault," he said. "I am just glad to get it taken care of. I forgot and now I won't have to worry about it."
Another gentleman was all smiles as he was being transferred from a patrol car to the transport van. His story was similar to David's in that he forgot to pay the fine. He didn't have much else to say but he did offer a warning to those with warrants that they should go take care of what they owe.
Lt. Derrick Fowler, who oversees the Beaumont Police Department's traffic unit, said officers from throughout Jefferson County did a great job working together to make the round-up happen.
"While we are working on it locally, it isn't a local program; it is something that other agencies are coming together and doing statewide," Fowler said. "We are kicking that off and we are doing this so that we can alert the public that we do have these license plate readers now and we will be using them. We also want them to know that we will be working with these other agencies and conducting similar operations in those areas, as well. It has been more successful than we thought."
The camera systems can read license plates while two vehicles are traveling at a combined speed of 120 mph. They read in both directions and scan about 95 percent of the plates that pass by them.
"It basically recognizes numbers and letters," said BPD Sgt. Kenneth Karr. "It's just optical character recognition. It hits the database with the numbers and it is almost instantaneous. If there is a hit, then it sets off an alarm."
Although the license plate recognition camera systems are primarily used for warrants, they also help locate stolen cars – something that happened on the first day of the round-up.
Fowler said officers got a hit on a stolen car as it passed a unit outfitted with the new systems. He said officers were immediately alerted to the car and pulled it over."That was one of the first hits we had," Fowler said. "And when they pulled over the car they also found PCP. We are also alerted to sex offenders, so if we set up near a school and we continue to get an alert from a vehicle being driven by a known sex offender, we know that we need to stop them and find out what they are up to. Now, for a school on Major Drive, which is a major thoroughfare, they may just be going to the store, but we know they are there."
Like it or not, the license plate reader systems are here to stay, and several Beaumont Police units have been outfitted with them. But unlike Port Arthur patrol units, where the cameras are easily visible on top or at the front and rear of the vehicles, Beaumont's are more covert. The units have been inset into the grill and body molding of Chevrolet Tahoes and other units to give them a streamlined look so they are almost unnoticeable.
Beaumont Police Chief Jimmy Singletary said he was appreciative of the media alerting the public to what was going on because it will help encourage people to come to municipal court and hopefully influence them to not have problems in the future.
"In a perfect world when someone gets a citation for speeding or a fine in court, it would be great if they would just go and take care of it, but unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world," Singletary said. "That is why operations like this are needed, and the last two or three days have shown just how successful we've been.
"These readers will be on the street every week. We have them on our units, and our officers will be out using them."
While some cities charge a convenience fee or pass along credit card usage fees to those clearing up tickets and warrants online, that is not the case here. Anyone wanting to get squared-up with Beaumont can do so at no additional charge.
Davis added that she is hopeful that by getting the message out it will help clear up the backlog of cases on the city's books. She said if someone believes they are innocent, they can talk to the judge. And if they feel the need, they can have a trial.
"Come down and see what we can do with it," she said. "We try to work with people."
Davis said the municipal court implemented an Internet payment system last year to allow people with traffic citations and other fines – including warrants – to take care of their problems without coming to court. She said there is no additional fee for the people paying online and it has been a big help. She added that during the warrant round-up a computer terminal was made available for those people who wanted to clear up their warrants on the spot over the computer.
"If your name is on the warrant list, you can pay that online," she said. "Let's say you knew you had a ticket and you didn't want to come down to court or couldn't make it for some reason. You can just go online; everything can be paid online. We take Visa, Mastercard and Discover and there is no additional fee."
On average, about $900 is collected each day over the Internet, but on the first day of the round-up that number was up 10-fold, according to Fowler.
"People may say this is about money, but for us this is really about clearing up warrants in the system" Fowler said. "We have some of the best judges in the state, and even if you have warrants, they are not going to send you to jail if you show up and take care of your business."

Fall 2012, No. 1
Severe drought reduces the crop's uptake and removal of nutrients. The effect on the soil test is not likely to be large. Leftover nutrients from a typical corn crop might increase soil test levels by 3 to 5 parts per million for P and K, assuming the worst-case scenario with nothing harvested from the field. If the drought cuts yield in half, the increase is likely to be smaller. And leftover nutrients that show up in the soil test are likely to be available to the next year's crops.
Of course, nutrients can also change chemical forms when the soil dries out. But it can be hard to predict whether their availability will increase or decrease. Generally, soil test K increases as a soil dries, so we expect to see higher levels in samples taken during a drought. Most laboratories dry all their samples before testing, but some use a field-moist sample for K analysis. The drought difference is likely to be larger for the latter. In general, however, a recent sample affected by drought is a better basis for next year's crop nutrition program than a sample that is older than the typically recommended sampling interval of 3 or 4 years.
Are soils being sampled often enough? It seems—on average—that most cropland is sampled about as often as is recommended. In the Northeast USA, including states from the watersheds of the Chesapeake Bay and the Great Lakes, the number of samples represented in the 2010 IPNI Soil Test Summary (http://info.ipni.net/IPNI-3186) amounted to one for every 45 acres of census cropland. That's more intensive than what is generally recommended—one sample from every 25 acres every three years translates into one sample from every 75 acres each year. But included in this average are the more intensive sampling schemes of many practitioners of precision agriculture (with each sample representing as little as an acre). So while most of the cropland gets sampled often enough, there still may be a portion that could be sampled more often.
What's more important is what the soil test shows. While the distribution of soils testing below, in, and above the optimum range varies by region, most states in the Northeast and most provinces in Eastern Canada still show a substantial portion of soils testing below and above the optimum range, for both P and K. Obviously, this is not because the soils aren't being sampled. Non-optimal soil test levels persist partly because recommendations are not being followed.
Sampling more frequently than once every three years will not change these soil test levels. Following the soil test-based recommendation moves most soils into the optimum ranges for both P and K, and keeps them there. Sampling soils more often than once every three years won't reduce losses of P in runoff either. Soils testing above the optimum range may increase risk of P loss to some degree. Fertilized at rates below crop removal, such soils will decline in soil test P. Sampling once every three years will suffice to track and prevent a decline below the optimum range.
4R Nutrient Stewardship also encourages the tracking of crop nutrient balances. Recommendations from a soil test often relate to crop removal: the basic recommendation is to apply more or less than crop removal for soils testing below or above, respectively, the optimum or maintenance range. Also, there is always some uncertainty with both soil testing and with nutrient removal information. Doing both increases confidence because the uncertainties in each tend to cancel each other out.
Soil testing should proceed as usual this fall. The opportunities in a dry year will probably be better than in a wet year. Considering current prices for fertilizers and crops, you can't afford to miss this one!

Lady Gaga to Star in Documentary About Her Life
Forget the remake of 'Gypsy.' Lady Gaga has confirmed that she will star in a different film: a documentary about her life. Her longtime photographer and Pop Water cohort Terry Richardson will lens the film, which is a doc, as opposed to a concert film similar to the ones made by pop peers like Katy Perry and Justin Bieber.
Gaga shared the good news on Twitter on Christmas Day and this nugget of information was like a Christmas present for little monsters. Last year, she gifted fans with a song. This year, she shares that a film documenting the process of making 'ARTPOP' is on deck.
She tweeted:
Merry Christmas little monsters! Terry Richardson @terry_world is making a #LadyGagaMOVIE documenting my life, the creation of ARTPOP + you!
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) December 25, 2012
She then posted:
Thank you for being so patient waiting for my new album ARTPOP I hope this gets u excited for things to come. I love you with all my heart!
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) December 25, 2012
Uh, you're damn right it gets us excited! This is certainly something to look forward to and if there is anyone who can capture Gaga in real time and effectively, showing us all angles and degrees of the Mother Monster, it's Richardson. He routinely shares photos of her from the road and while on tour, and was also her photog for her coffee table photo book, which dropped last year.
PopCrushers, what parts and aspects of Gaga's life do you want to see in the doc? More of her BF Taylor Kinney? Time with Mama and Papa G? Interactions with fans? There are so many possibilities.

When his day's work was done, after he set a Kings record with his 172nd career victory, Jonathan Quick sat with the man whose mark he toppled with a 4-0 shutout Saturday over the Florida Panthers at Staples Center.
Seated side-by-side in the dressing room, swapping stories and smiles, Quick and Rogie Vachon represented the best of Kings goaltending over the franchise's history.
Quick led the Kings to their only Stanley Cup championship in 2011-12; Vachon led them out of expansion obscurity starting in 1971.
"I wish I would have set the bar a little higher," Vachon said, smiling. "He's playing great and he's going to set some incredible records before his career is over. It's wonderful. Unfortunately, I only played for 6 1/2 years here, but him, he's going to play 15 or 20 years."
Said Quick: "I'm just taking it one game at a time."
Vachon: "He's just a puppy."
Quick: "Hopefully, you're fortunate to have that kind of health to play that long."
Trevor Lewis and Mike Richards scored first-period goals to propel the Kings to an early lead over the Panthers. Dustin Brown added a second-period goal before leaving the game because of a chest contusion and Alec Martinez sealed the deal with a power-play goal in the third.
Quick made 24 saves for his fifth shutout of the season, helping the Kings to tie a club record with their 11th in 2013-14. Rookie Martin Jones has three shutouts, the same number Ben Scrivens had before he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers.
It also was the 30th shutout of Quick's career. He is two shy of Vachon's Kings record.
"His ability to move from one side to the other (of the crease) is absolutely phenomenal and I've never seen that before," Vachon said of Quick. "The save he made in the second period, coming from one side to the other and grabbing it is something you'll very rarely see in this league."
Vachon spoke of Quick's glove save on Tomas Fleischmann's backhanded bid while the Panthers were on a second-period power play. Quick made the stop while doing the splits, snaring the puck as Fleischmann began to raise his arms in celebration.
The play was reviewed in the NHL's War Room in Toronto, but the on-ice call of referees Dennis LaRue and Kevin Pollock stood. Kings fans at Staples Center reviewed the save after it was shown on the scoreboard and saluted Quick with a standing ovation.
After a few minutes to celebrate with his teammates and then with Vachon, Quick was soon on his way out the door. The Kings departed for Philadelphia immediately after the game. They're scheduled to practice there today and will face the suddenly red-hot Flyers on Monday.
"Goalies are always kind of nominated to receive most of the celebration as far as wins and shutouts go, but it's a group effort," Quick said. "It (breaking a team record) crosses your mind a little bit. It's the type of situation where you're caught up in the moment.
"We fly to Philly this afternoon and play a game in two days, so your focus moves on pretty quickly around this time of year, when everyone is making their playoff push. It's a short-lived enjoyment because you have to get ready for the next game."

It's the best of boxing and the worst of boxing on a night that either could cultivate more boxing fans or turn them off.
No, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have two major boxing cards on the same night at different venues in the same city. But that's what happening tonight in Las Vegas.
At the Thomas and Mack Center at UNLV, Sergio Martinez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will headline an HBO pay-per-view card when they meet for Chavez's WBC middleweight championship.
At roughly the same time, Canelo Alvarez will defend his WBC super welterweight title against Josesito Lopez at the MGM Grand. Their bout will be televised on Showtime.
Having competing fight cards on the same night in different cities is nothing new in boxing, though the powers at HBO and Showtime swear they do their best to avoid such conflicts. But tonight's Vegas boxing buffet is more of a standoff in the ongoing feud between promoters Top Rank Inc. and Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.
Top Rank is promoting the Martinez-Chavez card and Golden Boy Promotions is behind Alvarez-Lopez. Golden Boy initially planned to have Alvarez fight Paul Williams on HBO, but Williams was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident in May. While Alvarez looked for another opponent, Martinez and Chavez agreed to fight and HBO deemed that worthy of pay-per-view complete with a 24/7 series.
With Mexican Independence Day being celebrated this weekend, neither promotional company wanted to move their date. So now we have boxing overload. Maybe it's a bad thing. Maybe it's a good thing.
Chavez-Martinez is one of the most anticipated bouts of the year. The son of Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez was noticed more for his name than his talent early in his career. But he developed to the point where he won the WBC belt last year and has successfully defended it three times.
But Chavez Jr. (46-0-1, 32 KOs) will not be recognized as the true champion until he defeats Martinez (49-2-2, 28 KOs). The Argentinian won the same belt in 2010 by beating Kelly Pavlik, but was stripped of the title despite stopping his last four opponents, who entered the ring with a combined record of 127-4.
"I cannot accept the fact he is world champion," the 37-year-old Martinez said. "The only reason he is world champion is because he is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the son of the legend. But he has a big mouth and he's talking too much."
Chavez Jr., 26, relishes the chance to validate his title.
"I'm about fighting the best fighters," he said. "I am very confident I am going to win the fight and that I will give everyone a fight that they will remember for a long time."
Lopez (30-4, 18 KOs) got the chance to face Alvarez (40-0-1, 29 KOs) by upsetting Victor Ortiz, who was in line to meet Alvarez, the popular 22-year-old redhead from Mexico. Lopez, who lives in Riverside, Calif., was a junior welterweight before moving up to welterweight to fight Ortiz last June. Now he's making another leap to challenge for the 154-pound title.
"I understand that I have to fight the best fight of my life to come out with a victory, and for that reason I prepared really well," Lopez, 28, said. "It's going to be important to get Canelo's attention early and be smart in the early rounds. Size means nothing to me — I was always the smaller kid fighting the bigger guys."
Alvarez is heavily favored but said he won't overlook Lopez.
"I grew up dreaming about what it would be like to fight on a stage like this and now I am here," he said. "I want to take advantage of this fight, this opportunity and stay here for a long time. We had plenty of time to get prepared for this fight. I am not underestimating Josesito Lopez one bit."

I heard england wants to organize a six day for next year.
Even earlier
"After a 35 year absence, six-day racing returns to it's birthplace, London!"
Live on Eurosport 18-23rd October so overlaps a day with the European Champs. Might not have coverage of the first day
I went on Monday evening
Quite enjoyed it but not a great attendance despite some freebie tickets being given out.....
I went on Monday and Friday. Monday was a slow start in attendance and ambience, by Friday the place was pretty full and a great atmosphere
Yes I went last night too. There were far more there than it appeared on Eurosport for the other nights. The atmosphere was really good but didn't quite have the feel of a continental six day, or the original Skol 6, but maybe the big track and being more open stole some of that. The sound was good but the DJ will have to practice more how to combine it with the actual racing.
The really big disappointment to me was the judging and the screens. The judging was so poor that they even placed Latham/Wood in 2nd place in the same lap as Keisse/Hoecke and Ketele/de Pauw at the end. They were actually a lap down on these two. Latham/Wood went into the final chase in the lead by virtue of being the first to 200 when gaining a lap in the 500TT. During the chase all the laps Latham/Wood gained were neutralised on the track by the other two (and a few others) with Ketele/Pauw and Keisse/Hoecke reaching 200 in the closing laps. The judges completely missed awarding those bonus laps and the crowd was completely unaware because the screens were only updating points and not laps. Needs to be sorted out for future. No good having great music and lights if you get the result wrong.

Click to see baby music boxes!
These baby "Hush little baby" blue music boxes are different from any other you have seen. They are handmade, handpainted, and vintage inspired, accented with fabric trim. They don't require a key, simply turn the big wood knob to wind, and watch the picture rotate as the music plays. In case you would like to sing along, the words are printed on the back of the music box. The sealed box has felt pads on the bottom and a wooden fineal on the top.
Each music box is 4 inches wide by 3.5 inches deep and 8 inches tall. We also sell personalized music boxes perfect for baby!

I know people here aren't huge Rupert fans, but seriously... how noble and selfless of him to basically sacrifice himself for his wife. Tough to see him have to say goodbye to Laura. It's so obvious how much they love each other.
Laura B , she needs to beat Laura M and John.
