Trash problems (Solved)
Right click Trash -> View Summary.
This gives empty list even if there are items in trash.
/usr/local/apps/Trash/AppRun, line 195:
cat /tmp/trashitems | sed -e 's/</?/g' | sed -e 's/>/?/g' > /tmp/trashitems
If deleting above line View Summary works ok. But that line maybe have some meaning.. how to fix it?
Also.. when dragging and dropping any item to Trash, it causes two lines appearing to /tmp/xerrs.log:
/usr/local/apps/Trash/AppRun: line 234: test: -sd: unary operator expected
/usr/local/apps/Trash/AppRun: line 120: [: =: unary operator expected
I am using Lucid 528, but tried also Precise 542 Retro live-CD.

The meaning is:
print the content of file /tmp/trashitems to stream editor sed who has to change each occurance of < to ? and each > to ? and print the result to file /tmp/trashitems
if something does not happen fast enough this results in an empty file.
my fix wrote:
#cat /tmp/trashitems | sed -e 's/</?/g' | sed -e 's/>/?/g' > /tmp/trashitems
sed -ie 's/</?/g;s/>/?/g' /tmp/trashitems
Doing the same but smarter, -i ...... inline, both string replacements in one sed command

zephyr2 is right -you can't cat out of a file and back into itself at the same time. His correction works (with versions of sed which support the '-i option). sed actually creates a temp file when used with the -i option. Changing the original command to this:
cat /tmp/trashitems | sed -e 's/</?/g' | sed -e 's/>/?/g' > /tmp/trashitems~
mv /tmp/trashitems~ /tmp/trashitems
does exactly the same thing.

Wow, so people do use the Trash roxapp (or at least try to).
Thanks for actually reporting this.

Unfortunately in some circumstances you actually can. It always worked perfectly fine for me in my Puppy install, otherwise I wouldn't have published it like that in the first place
We already had the same discussion when someone pointed out this bug a year or so ago (I thought it was Barry, or maybe someone commenting on his blog, but I can't find it there now). Of course, the fix was pointed out too, and I figured I should probably try to get a fixed version packaged and included in Puppy, but never got around to it.
I thought I should first check exactly what Barry was using in Puppy (I know it wasn't
what I made) and package the update to match it. But I couldn't even
an official Puppy Trash package, so I guess it is hidden away inside something else...
And at the same time I wanted to see if I could tidy up some of the other code, and make it work using just gtkdialog for all the guis, and internationalize it as well (since Technosaurus or someone showed how to do that properly)... all this could be quite an effort for me, as I'm just an ignorant user
Do you know a good
program? Please post a link

I see that the main problem has been solved thanks to the multiple valid solutions proposed in this thread.
I also noticed that SFR suggested a couple of proposed solutions in another thread:
In the Slacko-5.4 feedback and bug reports thread
, SFR wrote:
cat /tmp/trashitems | sed -e 's/</?/g' | sed -e 's/>/?/g' > /tmp/trashitems
doesn't work as it supposed to, I guess.
Proposed fixes:
- To append those two sed commands to the above "long sed parade"
- Actually Gtkdialog won't mind if there will be < > chars in cat'ted string between <input>cat /tmp/trashitems</input> tags, so maybe delete the line completely..? (works for me)
Apparently 01micko has used one of SFR's proposals in the latest Slacko beta:
In the Slacko-5.4 feedback and bug reports thread
, 01micko wrote:
bugfix rox trash -SFR
SFR's second proposed fix matches the modification that zephyr2 used successfully.
SFR's suggestion that "Gtkdialog won't mind if there will be < > chars in cat'ted string between <input>cat /tmp/trashitems</input> tags" sounds right to me, although I only did some quick testing.
If that is true, this would seem to be the preferred solution, since filenames containing
would then display correctly in the summary window. Of course filenames with those characters should be a rare occurrence, since using those characters in filenames is not good practice. (But it is legal).
disciple, do you remember if you ran into any problems if you didn't translate those characters? Or did you add that line to be cautious, just in case those characters might cause trouble if left untranslated?
Naturally, if there is a known problem when that translation is missing, one of the other solutions would be preferred. Certainly any of the proposed solutions is much better than the status quo, where you may not see any filenames at all.
The main reason for this post is to address the error messages that zephyr2 reported, and one other that I ran into.
zephyr2 wrote:
/usr/local/apps/Trash/AppRun: line 120: [: =: unary operator expected
To fix, change line 120:
Had desktop shortcut? = `if [ $shortcuts = "true" ]; then echo yes; else echo no; fi`" > "$HOME/.Trash/$FileName-$$/Info"
Had desktop shortcut? = `if [ "$shortcuts" = "true" ]; then echo yes; else echo no; fi`" > "$HOME/.Trash/$FileName-$$/Info"
Why? If $shortcuts was never set, the test is equivalent to
[ = "true" ]
which is not a valid test.
zephyr2 wrote:
/usr/local/apps/Trash/AppRun: line 234: test: -sd: unary operator expected
(If you move two items to the trash, you instead get "binary operator expected", and three or more items gives you "too many arguments".)
To fix, change line 234:
test -sd "$@"
test -z "$*"
This is a strange one. To the best of my knowledge, there is not now, nor has there ever been an
test in bash. Perhaps someone more familiar with bash scripts can let me know if there ever was such a test.
This script goes back to 2005. I didn't look back that far, but I did find a version from 2006, with this line. So it has been there for years if not forever.
I have no idea why that
was put there.
But the code works!
It gives that error message, but it works.
At that point in the script, the $1 parameter has already been compared to all of the valid command-line options ("-look", "-summary", etc.), and none were found. So now if there are any command-line arguments, they are the names of files or directories to be deleted. And if there are no arguments, then the trash icon was clicked because the user wants to look in the trash. So this test just determines which of these two actions to take.
is not a valid test, bash just assumes that it is a string. So if there are no arguments
test -sd "$@"
is equivalent to
test -sd
which is a valid test, and exits true (0) since the string is not empty. So when the script then compares the exit status with "0", it correctly takes the branch that shows the trash.
One thing here confused me at first. Since
is contained inside quotation marks, I would have thought that the equivalent line in this case would be:
test -sd ""
which is not a valid test. But a look at the bash man page explained why that was not the equivalent:
Bash Reference Manual:
Special Parameters
When there are no positional parameters, "$@" and $@ expand to nothing (i.e., they are removed).
When there are are one or more command line arguments, the equivalent line would be something like:
test -sd "testfile.txt"
which is not a valid test, and exits false (2) since it is invalid. So when the script compares the exit code to "0", it correctly takes the branch that moves the file(s) to the trash.
So, the original line, despite being invalid in bash and causing an error message, seems to work as intended.
My change simply does the same thing with valid code.
There is a similar bug in template/temp-AppRun, which is the template for the scripts that are used to restore items. Restoring an item caused an error message like this:
/root/.Trash/testfile.txt-32174/AppRun: line 141: test: -sd: unary operator expected
To fix, change line 141 in template/temp-AppRun:
test -sd "$@"
test -z "$*"
By the way, I am assuming that this application was never intended to be used from the command line. Although it works from the command line, it is far from bullet-proof in that case. From the command line, one can pass it fictitious filenames to move to the trash, and it will happily make entries in the trash. And, from the command line, one needs to pass the full pathname (e.g, /root/my-documents/testfile.txt), not just the filename (e.g., testfile.txt) -- if not, the file cannot be restored.
Since the intention is for files to be moved to the trash by drag-and-drop, there should not be a problem with fictitious filenames or files without the full pathname. So I've not bothered to address either of those issues here.
There is one other bug that I am aware of. Trash likes to make a rather annoying sound when trashing an item.
But since some folks might consider this a feature, I have not addressed this issue either.

That original empty-list-problem began to wonder me when I was trying to translate Trash in my home language.
Latest Trash I found was version 0.3.3. I changed it so that it could be translated. I am not programmer at all, so changes may look terrible and it's maybe better not to install this at all. However, I have used this translated version for a week now and it should work like original with above fixes (L18L and npierce). I am using Lucid 528, not tested in any other versions.
There is .pot file included, it goes to folder /usr/share/doc/nls/trash.

trash.pot is NOT necessary because

I attach (just for convenience of everybody) /usr/local/apps/Trash/AppRun

A bug that I noticed not so long ago...
When an item gets trashed and then the directory where it was also gets removed (later), 'Restore Trashed Item' function doesn't work properly and such a file/folder just vanishes (
mv -f item non_existent_path
Well, simple
mkdir -p destdir
before mv would do the job, but then if the missing path is, for example
, there might be a mess later...
My proposal is to display a confirmation dialog where a user can see what path is going to be recreated, so can decide if (s)he really wants to restore an item right there (if not, one can always just extract an item from Trash manually and put elsewhere).
The relevant part of code was amended from:
# Restore the item.
mv -f "$APPDIR/Files/$FileName" "PATH"
# Restore the item.
# Check if destination path is in /mnt and warn a user
restore_path="`dirname "PATH"`"
restore_name="`basename "PATH"`"
if [ "`echo "PATH" | grep '^/mnt/'`" ]; then
pupdialog --title "$(gettext 'Caution')" --yes-label "$(gettext 'Restore')" --no-label "$(gettext 'Cancel')" --yesno "$restore_name $(gettext 'will be restored to: ')$restore_path
$(gettext 'Make sure that the appropriate device is mounted.')"
[ $? -ne 0 ] && exit
# If dest dir doesn't exist, ask to create one
if [ ! -d "$restore_path" ]; then
pupdialog --title "$(gettext 'Confirm Action')" --yes-label "$(gettext 'Create')" --no-label "$(gettext 'Cancel')" --yesno "$(gettext 'Destination directory: ')$restore_path
$(gettext 'does not exist! Create it?')"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
mkdir -p "$restore_path"
mv -f "$APPDIR/Files/$FileName" "PATH"
What do you think?
Perhaps it's not the best solution, but surely better than loosing a file.
Modified /usr/local/apps/Trash/template/temp-AppRun script attached (real .gz).
I forgot that if a device was mounted and unmounted, its root directory stays in /mnt/ anyway.
So, in case if an item is going to be restored to /mnt/... a warning window will pop up (see screenshot).
Code above and attachment updated.

That sounds like a great idea, although to futureproof it or allow for people with different systems it should really check for /media and /var/run as well as /mnt. But even that wouldn't be enough, because things can be manually mounted anywhere...
It might be better to check when trashing it whether the path is in the same filesystem as the Trash, and record that fact.
But if we're going to go to the effort to do that, we might as well implement proper per-device Trash, as we discussed in the "discussion document" thread. I did think what we would need to do is send the trashed file to a Trash at the top of its filesystem, and then when we check the Trash, check every filesystem for a Trash and collate the results. I guess this is a bit hacky, but now I'm wondering if we couldn't just symlink anything trashed on an external filesystem into the main Trash. The problems would be:
1. ignoring the symlink when the external filesystem isn't mounted (shouldn't be too hard), and
2. when looking at the trash you wouldn't see anything in a Trash on an external filesystem which was trashed from another Puppy install or by another Puppy user.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hey Disciple
Yeah, would be really nice to have it this way...
I just remembered that there's a short bash script (used by 'Trash-plugin' for SpaceFM):
It might shed some light on how to implement all that stuff you've mentioned.
trash.readme wrote:
If the item to be trashed is on a different mountpoint than the trashcan (different partition/drive), the script will create trash directories where this filesystem is mounted and store trashed file there. It aslo create links to the main trashcan so that all trashed items can be viewed in one place. For example, trashcan=/home/user/.local/share/Trash/files which is mounted at /home. You trash a file /media/usbdrive/somefile which is mounted at /media/usbdrive. The script will create /media/usbdrive/.Trash-user/{files,info} directories and somefile will be moved into this directory. It also creates a link in the main trashcan to somefile so that somefile can also be seen here.
Alas, personally I don't feel strong enough to modify ROX-Trash like that...
BTW, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it's implemented this way, but action like '--delete' '--restore' or '--info', require full path to the main trashcan, e.g.:
trash --restore /root/.local/share/Trash/files/sometestfile
but the good thing is that, as mentioned above, it holds there also links to external trashcans, so it's not a big deal.
But it's important to keep this in mind, because I did use (unnecessarily - there's also '--empty' command) 'trash --delete *' a moment ago and deleted my whole $HOME (/root/*) dir!
Luckily PUPMODE=13 + save_on_demand mod in rc.shutdown saved my day (again).

Well, the poor-mans method I'm suggesting with symlinks should actually be pretty simple, so I am happy to do it if people think it is a good idea.

Post subject: a newer way of doing Trash functions in ROX
Subject description: ROX Trasher, a newer XDG Trash facility
Sorry for necro-bumping here, but...while fiddling with xfce in Fedora I discovered that, besides the Rox Trash applet which dvm (Dan Van Wormer) originally wrote for Puppy Linux in 2005...there exists another Rox Trash applet, Rox Trasher Master. It differs from the traditional Puppy Rox Trash in that, like Thunar, it writes to $HOME/.local/share/Trash, and creates "trash:///files" and "trash:///info" subdirectory entries the same way Thunar does. Therefore a file which is sent to Trash by Rox can be restored by Thunar. A file sent to trash by Thunar can't be restored by Rox though, because the restorative powers of this Rox Trasher Master (invoked as AppRun --look) rely upon entries in a special restore subdirectory in /usr/local/apps/Trash. Thunar, when it moves a file to Trash, does not create an entry in Rox Trasher Master's restore subdirectory, so Rox Trasher Master does not know about files which were moved to Trash by Thunar. It also has no way of knowing when a file is restored by Thunar, therefore the restore subdirectory does tend to growandgrow. So I've commented-out all the create-and-interrogate-and-restore-from code in my local copy of Rox Trasher Master's AppRun, leaving only the Send to Trash sections, and I also eliminated the "are you sure" dialog, and now I can use Rox for sending items to Trash, which I can restore from Thunar.
This new Rox trash is immensely handy in a mixed Rox+Thunar environment. Probably equally handy when used with any other file manager which does Trash the xdg way too.
Have a look:
Disclaimer: I'm starting Thunar (in Fedora) by the following script, which is necessary in order for Thunar to see trash:/// when Thunar is run as root.
# /usr/bin/thunar-start-script
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
exec /usr/bin/thunar "$@"
dbus-launch --autolaunch 36cfcdcd4f69479bb01ea212907a152e --exit-with-session /usr/bin/thunar "$@"
where the long alphanumeric string is the machine ID according to dbus. In Fedora this is found in $HOME/.dbus/session-bus, in the first line of the only file which is resident therein. Been awhile since I used Puppy, but when I look in my Quirky /root/.dbus/session-bus I see a lot of files, perhaps because I've transferred the install back and forth to very many machines. You'd want to look at the first line of the most recent one.

I think this is where it is in Woof-CE, but if not. It is someplace in Woof-CE.

Merely a few weeks out from the start of filming, production has been halted on the revenge drama Motor City. The film, from director Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli), has had a rather rocky development, with a number of actors (Dominic Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jeremy Renner) flirting with the lead only to subsequently drop out. Gerard Butler was finally set in the starring role of a felon who, after being released from prison, begins tracking down the men who framed him, with Adrien Brody onboard as the villain and Mickey Rourke in a supporting role. Filming was set to commence on September 17th, but the crew has now been told to go home due to some complex issues that have arisen behind the scenes. Hit the jump for more details.
Per Deadline, Motor City came to a halt when the film's backers realized that the firm March 31st release date would be impossible to meet. As I understand it, this release date was intricately tied to the foreign distribution deals made for the film, so with producers and backers now admitting that they can't make that release date, those distribution deals now need to be reworked. As such, the film could not secure a bond (ie. insurance) to move forward, so production has now been halted.
Warner Bros. issued the release date for Motor City via Joel Silver's Dark Castle banner, but it's now unknown if the studio will still be involved down the line. WB was only onboard for distribution, so the film's financing should still be in place. Here's how a spokesperson for the pic's producers and financiers explained the decision to postpone production:
"Faced with the realities of a very short post-production schedule and complicated visual and special effects, the producers have decided to push back production on Albert Hughes' Motor City. We are dedicated to delivering top-tier productions such as 2 Guns starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg which is currently in production and Peter Berg's Lone Survivor which is in pre-production. The circumstances surrounding this project made it impossible to meet the firm March 31st delivery date without compromising the quality of the film."
It's clear that the film's producers aren't ready to scrap the project just yet, but there's no guarantee that the entire cast will be available whenever they decide to pick production back up again. Butler is currently filming the White House actioner Olympus Has Fallen and has been circling the action-thriller Manhunt. Motor City has remained resilient through a number of stumbling blocks already, so the project may yet survive. We'll be sure to keep you updated as more information becomes available.

DC lowers turnout projections for inauguration
WASHINGTON -- District of Columbia officials have lowered their turnout estimate for Monday's presidential inauguration.
The district's homeland security director, Chris Geldart, said Sunday that officials now expect between 500,000 and 700,000 people to attend.
That's fewer than the 600,000 to 800,000 people initially anticipated.
The estimates are based in part on the number of charter buses arriving in the city, as well as the number of hotel and restaurant reservations.
Geldart says the lowered crowd estimate isn't changing any of the security preparations or planning.
For President Barack Obama's first swearing-in in 2009, 1.8 million people packed the National Mall.

By Dan Mihalopoulos, Tuesday, Dec 11, 2012
In a town where the notorious often plead innocence and even self-proclaimed reformers occassionally end up in prison, Richard Simon has been linked with everyone from organized crime figures to police superintendents.
Simon quietly rose from chauffeur for the city's "King of the Janitors" to claiming that crown as owner of United Service Companies, a nationwide firm based in the South Loop. The relationships that Simon forged along the way have come under close scrutiny since Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently signed one of Simon's companies to a five-year, $99.4 million deal to provide janitors at O'Hare Airport.
Simon, 62, was in business until a year ago with an alleged organized-crime figure, and he employs another man who went to prison after being indicted with the late mob boss Anthony "Big Tuna" Accardo, the Chicago Sun-Times reported recently.
Simon also had a long relationship with another mobster and he refused to appear before a grand jury investigating the disappearance of a "close female friend and companion" of his mentor and longtime boss, janitorial kingpin and corruption convict Ben Stein, according to Chicago police and federal records.
At the same time, Simon had a stint as head of the city's convention bureau and became friendly with a who's who of local power brokers, including Ald. Edward Burke (14th) and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy.
Workers for Simon, who was a Chicago police sergeant, clean the lakefront memorial to slain officers for free. Phil Cline, the retired police superintendent and memorial foundation executive director, said this week he was thankful to Simon and was unaware he had ties to organized crime figures until seeing recent news stories.
"The Rick Simon I know is a very generous man," Cline said.
Through a spokesman, Simon argued that his firm would offer airport janitors improved wages and benefits. He alleged that the Service Employees International Union — whose members stand to lose their jobs at O'Hare when the deal goes into effect Saturday — had engaged in "a paid smear campaign and personal attacks."
"As a Chicago-based company, we are proud to have earned the city's confidence to do this work in a better, more efficient manner that will save the city roughly $10 million," the spokesman said.
Simon began working for Stein as a janitor, while still a high school student in 1965, and continued to work for him, even as he joined the Chicago Police in 1976.
A police file from February 1983 — months after Simon was promoted to sergeant — said he was a "chauffeur and vice president' for Stein's company who "had been conducting negotiations" on Stein's behalf with a woman named Karen Lee Koppel. Simon offered her "a posh Lake Shore Drive apartment" and new cars to start a rental business if she would get out of Stein's life, according to the report obtained by the Sun-Times.
The document also says Simon met with the woman at a bar "on the night of Koppel's disappearance," but she told friends she declined his offer and demanded $50,000.
"Simon refused to testify before a Cook County grand jury investigating the disappearance of Miss Koppel," according to the document.
Investigators again approached Simon in 1988, this time to ask him about the attempted mob hit on labor leader Dominic Senese. According to an FBI report documenting the interview, Simon "stated that he had known Dominic Senese and his family for so long that he could not remember how long" and did not know who attempted to kill him.
Stein, who had ties to organized-crime figures and served a federal prison sentence for bribing union officials in the 1960s, died in 1996. Simon gradually bought out Stein's family, and he now is 100 percent owner of United Maintenance, city records show. His companies have more than 5,000 employees cleaning conventions centers, airplanes, hospitals and hotels across the country.
A review board appointed to root out corruption and mob influence in the Teamsters alleged in 2002 that Simon colluded with labor bosses, including William Hogan Jr., to undermine the union's contract in Las Vegas. The federal Independent Review Board charged that the deal with Simon translated into lower wages and worse benefits than the Teamsters contract required for convention workers.
Hogan — whose brother worked for Simon at that time — was booted from the Teamsters for life as a result of the probe. A spokesman for Simon denied any wrongdoing in the dispute in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, politicians here and across the country have accepted almost $200,000 in campaign donations from Simon and his companies in the past 15 years. By far the largest amount — more than $41,000 — went to Burke. The veteran alderman did not return calls seeking comment.
In a statement, McCarthy's spokeswoman, Melissa Stratton, said the superintendent met Simon through Cline, adding that Emanuel's top cop and Simon "are social acquaintances."
The Sun-Times' parent companies prior to the current owners, Wrapports, had contracted for maintenance and janitorial services with United Service Companies.

Finding more members and clients can feel like learning to drive a stick shift. You've got the pedal to the metal, generating lots of noise and vibration, but the car just doesn't move.
In this series, you will diagnose your sales and marketing challenges, prioritize your fix-it efforts and get pointers on getting started.
Effective sales and marketing strategies have four stages:
Stage 1: Filling the pipeline with prospects
Stage 2: Following up with prospects
Stage 3: Exploring ways your business can help prospects
Stage 4: Closing sales
It's simple, but not always easy. In part one, you'll analyze the effectiveness of your current sales and marketing with this self-scoring quiz. In subsequent parts of this series, you'll learn how to strengthen each area. Give yourself one point for each "yes" answer.
Stage 1: Filling the pipeline with prospects
Has your business identified enough potential customers to meet your business goals?
1) Is your health club or fitness center less than a year old?
2) Would it take your sales team less than a day to contact every potential customer in your pipeline?
3) Have you contacted everyone in your pipeline within the last month?
4) Do you already know that the people in your pipeline can't afford or don't want your membership plans and other services?
5) Are fewer prospects contacting you directly than you expected and planned on?
Total "Yes" Answers/Stage 1:_____
Stage 2: Following up with prospects
Is your business effectively contacting the potential customers already in the pipeline?
1) Do you have stacks of business cards and sticky notes that you've never responded to?
2) Have you received leads and referrals from others that you've never followed up with?
3) Are there people who said "maybe" that no one's re-contacted in 90 days?
4) Are there prospects who contacted your business that no one has followed up?
5) Do the necessary follow-up tools exist (for example, key questions and talking points, competitive comparisons, and brochures)?
Total "Yes" Answers/Stage 2:_____
Stage 3: Exploring solutions with prospects
Is your business effectively moving prospects out of the follow-up stage and into a discussion of their needs and how your business can help them?
1) Do follow-ups with prospects consistently fall into the "maybe later" category on your daily to-do list?
2) Is it hard to get prospects to spend time talking with you or your sales team about how you could help them?
3) Do most prospects seem to think that your memberships and other services are too expensive?
4) Do most prospects seem to think that your health club or fitness center is somehow not quite right for them?
5) Do you do more than 50 percent of the talking when you meet with prospects?
Total "Yes" Answers/Stage 3:_____
Stage 4: Closing the sale
Is your business successfully moving prospects out of the exploring-solutions stage and into closing the sale?
1) Do prospects usually say that they're already a member of a health club or fitness center elsewhere?
2) Do prospects usually tell you that they're not ready to buy right now?
3) Do prospects often say that they need to check with someone before they decide?
4) Do potential customers in this stage defer a decision and then stop responding to follow-up attempts?
5) Do you have butterflies when you think about discussing pricing with prospects?
Total "Yes" Answers/Stage 4:_____
Scoring guide
Summarize your answers below. Circle the stage with the highest score. That's the stage that offers the fastest opportunity for improvement. Prioritize working on this stage first.
If two or more stages have equally high scores, focus on the stage that comes first in the sales cycle. For example, if filling the pipeline and following up both have high scores, start with filling the pipeline so that you address the root cause. Avoid the temptation to tackle multiple stages simultaneously. If every stage presents a challenge, start by filling your pipeline.
Summary of Score
_____ Stage 1: Filling the pipeline
_____ Stage 2: Following up with prospects
_____ Stage 3: Exploring solutions with prospects
_____ Stage 4: Closing the sale
Next month, in Part 2, we'll explore tactics to help your business fill its pipeline with prospects. Part 3 will help you stay on top of your follow-up process, and Part 4 will help you find the best fit between your business and your prospects' needs so that you can close the sale.

Schoonover Center for Communications

This is the first article in a four-part series on Ohio University's initial LEED building projects.
One year after committing to LEED certification, Ohio University's initial endeavors in green building design are underway.
The university is seeking LEED certification on three buildings: the former Sigma Chi Fraternity house at 15 Park Place, the Schoonover Center for Communication located at the intersection of East Union Street and College Street, and an addition to the Technical Studies building on the Chillicothe campus.
LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally recognized green building certification system that provides third-party verification that a building or community meets green standards.
According to Ohio University President Roderick J. McDavis, it is also a means by which to achieve a key initiative of the university's strategic plan.
"We articulated sustainability as a priority in our university's strategic plan, Vision Ohio, because we believe our university community has a great responsibility to promote discussion and find solutions to environmental issues as well as be good stewards of our planet," McDavis said. "LEED certification is just one way that we can do that and put our commitment into action by infusing it in the bricks and mortar of our campuses."
McDavis has been a key advocate for sustainability initiatives at OHIO since assuming the presidency in 2004. Under his leadership, the university has created an Office of Sustainability within Facilities, launched a campus-wide composting operation, and established a unique graduate certificate in sustainability. McDavis was also a charter signatory to the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, which requires presidents to take responsibility for energy consumption and move toward carbon neutrality.
According to Director of Sustainability Sonia Marcus, LEED certification is just one of many components – albeit an important one – that will help guide the university toward a more sustainable future.
"There's no getting around the fact that the way we build affects the way we live and work at Ohio University, as well as the campus' ecological footprint. They also represent tremendous sustainability learning and outreach opportunities because we are spending so much of our days inside them and interacting with them," Marcus said.
LEED standards were created to improve performance across all areas of green building: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and use of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
According to the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) website, the certification process provides a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions to business owners, operators and, increasingly, to higher education.
Over the past eight years, the number of registered and certified LEED projects in higher education has grown from 100 projects in 2000 to more than 2,500 projects in 2008.
The certification, according to McDavis, is the gold standard of sustainability in action, as it relates to building and construction.
"As we continue to lead in our efforts, we need to look for additional opportunities to minimize our impact on the environment, and LEED initiatives are another way to achieve our commitment," he said.
Based on a 100-point system, LEED awards credits on a building's adherence to various green criteria. For example, the provision of bike racks earns one point toward certification. Optimized energy performance can earn up to 19 points.
On all three of its initial LEED construction projects, Ohio University is seeking a minimum of silver certification —the third-highest ranking available, requiring 50 to 59 points. According to McDavis, the university will aim to exceed silver certification when feasible, given the constraints of individual campus buildings.
"While we must push ourselves on the issues, we also must be realistic with our goals. Ohio University is comprised of older buildings," McDavis said. "We need to take each project on our campus master plan and look for ways that we can do more to become more sustainable and challenge ourselves to reach for opportunities to receive the highest level of LEED certification possible on each of our buildings."
Various factors are taken into account when considering green building alternatives, including feasibility, desirability, opportunity for innovation, educational value, and both up-front and on-going costs, according to Marcus.
Based on the university's findings and research with the provided list, project managers and architects determine which features will be pursued, explained Lynnette Clouse, LEED accredited project manager in the Office of Design and Construction.
LEED certification will be sought on all major renovations and new construction at OHIO, according to Clouse. And while some of the smaller renovations may not rise to the level of LEED certification, the university will still aim to adhere to LEED principals on these projects, demonstrating a continued commitment to sustainability, she added.
"Ohio University's commitment to sustainability extends beyond just changing light bulbs," McDavis said. "We have focused our efforts on providing leadership and outreach. When an institution is a leader, it must lead by example. Our university community is doing just that when we are talking about research, operations, campus behavior, programming, and curriculum. However, we know that we can do more."
Part two of the four-part series will focus on the former Sigma Chi fraternity house that is being given new life with a LEED renovation. Look for it May 28!

I am proud to be a traditional as well as contemporary fine artist and portrait painter of pets and other animals.
I offer different sizes and mediums.
This is a watercolour signed original of your pet, one only
Pet portrait in watercolour traditional style by Pasha
Pasha du Valentine founded Goddamn Media two decades ago.
'My aim was to bring hitherto unavailable art to the poeple.'
A lack of interesting art prints available to the mainstream was a motivation.
But things are difficult and some of the art Pasha has been making is seen as difficult, controversial and occasionally, unpaletable.
'Goddamn Media is my art child child.'
From alternative pet portraits using watercolours in an overtkly expressive manner, sensual art with a feminist edge, to political statements, all using new mediums in less traditional ways, Pasha forges ahead with the dream.
'We are part of the mainstream whether we like it or not but most of all, we owe it to ourselves to put great art on our walls.'
Pasha du Valentine is the artist responsible for founding Goddamn Media in the 1990s.
Goddamn Media has embodied the business ethics behind the mission to use the facilities of production to bring Pasha du Valentine's work to any home without pretention.
Pasha was educated at Frensham Heights in Surrey and an all girl's school where she rebelled against becoming an Officer's wife to spend some rebellious and gutter filled years in the punk underbelly of London.
The punk scene created a bed of ideas and styles that remain influential on the work you see here at Goddamn Media and Goddamn Gorgeous TV.
Awarded art, music and film degrees at the University of Brighton, and later a Masters at the University of Edinburgh, Pasha was armed with a knowledge of the arts and their application as well as a feminist foundation which is also evident in the artworks here.
'I owe it to the feminist cause to utilise the means of mass production in the work I produce. My predecessors did not have access to paper let alone printing presses or the internet.'
The artworks here are limited editions and signed by Pasha with an authentification on the reverse.
This makes each print highly collectable and an investment for the future.
Other merchandise and framed works are available through the merchandise store at
Pasha du Valentine is available directly via the contact page at the site.

13 Myths About Men You'll Be Stunned to Learn Aren't True
Good news, fellas – new research indicates the so-called "beer gut" is not real.
Even if you toss back a couple dozen PBRs, it won't make a beeline for you stomach and increase your waist size. Amazingly, that's only one of many, many lies you've probably heard about men. Here are some myths about men that you need to know are simply not true:
We don't hand out cigars when babies are born
We can't say when this stereotype started, but it's time to update it. No hospital would allow people to hand out any form of tobacco.
We don't leave the toilet seat up
We know it's not smart to do this. Leaving the seat up created an extra step if we run towards the john after enjoying Mexican for dinner.
We don't mind watching Lifetime
This is pretty much all due to Jennifer Love Hewitt on 'The Client List.'
We don't watch Spike TV
Seriously, ask a guy to name the channel on his cable system.
We don't always try to 'fix' things when women complain to us
We're just trying to show we're sympathetic. Of course, this applies only when we listen. That myth is actually true.
We're not all pigs
Yes, some of us are actually nice guys.
We don't use the Internet to watch porn
Some may do that, but more use it to follow our fantasy football teams.
We don't always enjoy working on cars/fixing things
Women just think we do. The truth is we do it so we don't have to go antiquing with you. We'd rather be inside watching TV.
Sometimes, we actually do read Playboy for the articles
There's some darned good writing in there.
We're not messy
In college, you can be a slob. When you grow up, you keep things tidy. Everyone knows that.
Some men do eat quiche
...but only when forced. If they didn't, we'd be able to find a good picture of a guy eating one.
We do like shopping for clothes
We want to look dapper, whether we're rocking the red carpet or not.

We're off on a little adventure to Chicago till Friday night, so I invited Jen from Vegetus Maximus to share a few bentos with you. Her little guy has severe food allergies and she has been making bentos for him (with all sorts of yummy from-scratch items) to help him eat well and stay safe!
This February, I found out my then 8 month old son had several significant food allergies, including wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, dairy, soy, and eggs. Due to their high-allergy risk, we've also been advised to delay the introduction of fish, tomato, oranges, and strawberries. This cuts out a lot of foods in the typical American child's diet, including pretty much anything that comes in a box, bag or bottle.
Being the notoriously stubborn person that I am, I've since been determined to provide my little boy with a healthy varied diet despite these dietary restrictions. This means religiously reading labels and contacting companies to find "trace free" basic cooking staples like olive oil and rice (most are contaminated with trace allergens during the manufacturing process), and grinding my own rice flour for baked goods.
I keep things colorful and am constantly experimenting in the kitchen to find new ways of presenting our "safe" foods. In addition to my culinary experiments, we eat lots of fruits, veggies, beans, rice, potatoes, and poultry. My son, or Senorcito as we like to call him, has grown into an adorable happy pudgy one year old who loves to devour the food I pack for daycare.
Breakfast - 2 mini Rice-Quinoa-Blueberry Muffins and a Nectarine.
Lunch - Brown Rice, Turkey, Avocado, Okra and Carrot Stars.
Snack - Golden Apple and Blueberries plus Quinoa O's.
Breakfast - Banana, Blueberries, Quinoa O's
Lunch - Baked Chicken, Sautéed Greens and Purple Potatoes
Snack - Peaches
The recipes for some of Jen's muffins can be found on her blog along with pictures of the cute little man she does this all for!

I don't know about any of you, but I am getting a little tired of the self appointed "censors" on this site who interject and attempt to stifle some excellent debating between OM members.
This has particular relevance when we get quotes like the sub description of my string.
I enjoy exchanging views with some intelligent people on this site, and despite what some people might think to the contrary, I do take in what some are saying and amend/adopt other viewpoints accordingly.
I have also had the privilege to meet some of the OMers in person, and again have struck up some very interesting conversation, and exchanged views on all matter of subjects, not necessarily on "outdoors" subjects either.
All I can say to those who consistently attempt to turn this site into a "purist" outdoors site only, when you are out on the hills, do you limit your conversations with your companions to matters outdoors only? If you do, then you must have a very boring time!
I do understand the loss of clarity sometimes, and especially when humour is introduced, after all, humour is very subjective. That is why I try to use emoticons where I can.
Another thing that winds me up is when people complain when threads are taken off at a tangent. I have seen some of my threads taken off theme many at time, and I think we should just live with it, it all adds to the tapestry of life in a country where we should be VERY grateful that we can "talk" to each and express our diverse range of views without constantly looking over our shoulder. (metaphorically speaking!)
Finally, if someone doesn't think a topic is not relevant to their interests, then they have the privilege of NOT joining the debate.
Luvly this democratic stuff eh ???

You know, the scanner is one computer peripheral that you wish you had purchased when you didn't need it, only to find yourself ringing up a mate late into the night, asking him whether he could open up the doors of his home so that you can drop by and perform that necessary scan. Older scanners of yore tend to be large, bulky and noisy – not to mention slow, of course, but it is a good thing that modern day technology has ushered in the age of miniaturization, shrinking down what was once rather large scanners into a pocket-friendly form factor. Case in point, the $124.95 Pen Sized Scanner.
The Pen Sized Scanner works as its name suggests – this is a ballpoint pen which allows you to leave your John Hancock on important documents, while also being able to laser-scan documents in a jiffy. The scanning bit is handled by a high-precision auto-focus lens, where it is accompanied by a 5-megapixel sensor that has been integrated into the pen itself, letting it scan letters, recipes, or important documents at 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. Whenever you press the shutter button down halfway, a visible red laser will be projected to frame a document, as it focuses on the image automatically before snapping a photo. Sporting 1GB of internal memory, it is good for up to 1,000 scanned pictures in JPEG format and also being able to hold 1,000 1-minute voice memos in WAV format. A single hour's charge offers up to 300 scans if you're interested.

Proper financial planning that provides for our financial needs in retirement is perhaps the prototypical example of willful blindness. We all know that most people have not saved enough to provide for a sustainable long-term income in retirement. The core issue here is that we (as a society and as individuals) are making consistently bad financial decisions that affect our futures, beginning with how we pay for college.
Sure, it's always easier to simply ignore the long-term issues and plan to deal with them later in life. As humans, we have an enormous behavioral bias to focus on the now and not on the future. In his recent Ted talk, Shlomo Benartzi estimates that only 11% of Americans are saving enough to meet their future financial needs. This is, in my opinion, a disaster in the works.
What are we thinking?
Benartzi explores the ways that our innate behavioral biases allow us to ignore the looming crisis. He frames the question of how and why people make consistently bad decisions in a range of example, like taking out a mortgage you can't afford. Using a series of lab experiments, he explains how we seem to have some hard-wired (neurological) biases that tend to make us totally discount our future needs in favor of current consumption. To quote Benartzi:
"Self-control is not a problem in the future. It's only a problem now when the chocolate is next to us."
Another speaker on Ted, economist Daniel Goldstein, characterizes this problem as the conflict between our present and future selves. His main thesis is that we have an incredibly difficult time actually envisioning future outcomes. Because we cannot see our future selves, we are less likely to save on his or her behalf. Our choices today are implicitly a conflict between our own interests and the interests of some other person—meaning our future selves. Our future self is someone that we don't even know—some old, gray-haired stranger.
The fundamental issue here is that consumption is instantly gratifying while denying ourselves in the present is not. Denying our impulses to consume requires effort, whereas consuming is both easy and pleasurable. Yet, there are plenty of people who manage to train themselves to eat healthy, to exercise, or to save for retirement. The problem is how we, as a society, motivate more people towards making better, and (sometimes harder) decisions.
The Implications of Poor Financial Choices
When society does not teach high school students that their choices about what they spend on a college education are directly tied to a potential substantial debt that their future selves will have to repay, it is no wonder that so many young people take on such enormous debt burdens without grasping the personal implications.
When mortgage brokers and realtors talk homebuyers into a larger house that they can't afford (or even that buying as large a house as possible is a good investment, which they have been known to do) we cannot be surprised when they take on an unsustainably large mortgage. The thought here is that it does not take a lot of convincing to get someone to make a choice that they want to make in the first place.
The field of behavioral economics is fascinating and I hope it will help policy makers figure out new ways to motivate people to make better financial decisions. The problems of inadequate savings and the propensity to take on too much debt, have enormous implications for our society. The research into why it is easier (or perhaps more natural) to make bad financial decisions does not alleviate that individual responsibility.
We all have to choose the harder path of consuming less and saving more.

Baruch College Team Places Second in Aspen Institute's 2013 International MBA Case Competition
NEW YORK, NY - April 23, 2013 - Baruch College's MBA Team placed second, out of 25 teams from all over the world, in the Aspen Institute's 2013 Business & Society International MBA Case Competition on April 19 in New York City.
The Aspen Institute's 2013 Business & Society International MBA Case Competition introduced a new case study created by the Yale School of Management and the National University of Singapore Business School: Golden Agri Resources and Sustainability. Students took on the role of consultants for the company (one of the largest producers of palm oil in the world) and tackled complex questions related to sustainability certification, regional economic development, and stakeholder engagement with activist environmental organizations.
Baruch's MBA Team included David Master, Santiago Perez, Marc Persaud and Madhu Sudhan. They completed three rounds of competition, which began in mid-March. On April 19, the Top 5 teams presented their ideas in a written format and PowerPoint, to a panel of judges including senior corporate executives. For placing second, Baruch College's MBA Team won $8,500.
"Our team did great work on Friday night and we are very proud of them," said John Albanese, Director of Baruch's Full-time MBA Program in the Zicklin School of Business. "This was our fourth time participating in the Business & Society Case Competition and our first appearance in the final round. It was very exciting waiting for our placement!"
This is the first time Baruch MBA student David Master participated in any business case competition. He said he found the experience very interesting and rewarding. "The nature of the case study forced us to delve into large amounts of information, and into greater levels of complexity," he said. "This created a very challenging dynamic that required the use of both soft and hard skills."
Team member Madhu Sudhan, born and raised in Bangalore, India, said it was an honor to represent Baruch College in the competition. "The greatest asset [to participating in the competition] has been [learning] how businesses can adopt sustainable practices and yet remain relatively profitable," he said. "I have been lucky to meet very talented people who are ambitious, hardworking and I am developing long-term friendships beyond school and business."

T-Rextasy are more than just a tribute band, they are the definitive T-Rex experience of the 90s.
On 8 September 1972 a record that would inspire future generations was released by the one of the most flamboyant and charismatic bands of the original glam rock era. Marc Bolan and T.Rex stormed the charts with one of his most memorable and distinctive songs of that decade - Children of the Revolution. 40 years on the song has become iconic and legendary, along with Bolan's other best selling anthems of that year that included, Metal Guru and Telegram Sam. T-Rextasy are the only band to have been authorised and endorsed by Marc Bolan's Catalogue Management and are officially recognised as the worlds' No. 1 group dedicated to the greatest glam rocker of them all, Marc Bolan of T.Rex. With their uncanny doppelganger lead singer and lead guitarist, Danielz, T-Rextasy perform a powerful and mesmerising presentation of Mark Bolan's rock and pop anthems. T-Rextasy have now been performing around the world for 20 years, a career that ironically out lives Marc's very own T.Rex.

Book: A Fatal Winter: A Max Tudor Novel
A Fatal Winter: A Max Tudor Novel
|G.M. Malliet
|Minotaur Books
"There are certain things you want in a village mystery: a pretty setting, a tasteful murder, an appealing sleuth…Malliet delivers all that." —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times
Last year, Agatha Award-winning author G. M. Malliet charmed mystery lovers, cozy fans, and Agatha Christie devotees with Wicked Autumn, the first mystery featuring her captivating protagonist, Max Tudor, and the small English village of Nether Monkslip.
In A Fatal Winter, Max—Anglican priest, former MI5 agent, and village heartthrob—investigates two deaths at Chedrow Castle. But his growing attraction to Awena Owen complicates his case, as does the recent arrival at Chedrow Castle of a raucous group of long-lost, greedy relatives, any one of whom has a motive for murder. With a cozy setting, intricate puzzles, and a handsome (non-celibate) priest doing the sleuthing, the books in this series are destined to become instant classics in the mystery world.

Burmese Python [NON-NATIVE]
Scientific name: Python bivittatus (KUHL 1820)
* Currently accepted name
* scientific names used through time
- Python bivittatus – KUHL 1820
- Python molurus bivittatus – KUHL 1820
- Python jamesonii – GRAY 1842
- Python molurus – DUMÉRIL & BIBRON 1844
- P.[ython] trivittatus – JERDON 1854
- Python molurus var. ocellatus – WERNER 1899
- Python molurus var. intermedia – WERNER 1899
- Python molurus var sondaica – WERNER 1899
- Python molurus pimbura – DERANIYAGALA 1945
Description: Average size in Florida is 96 inches (8 feet, 244 cm). Males from Florida reach a maximum of 144 inches (12 feet, 365 cm), whereas the record female from Florida is 199 inches (16.6 feet, 506 cm). In its native range, females can reach more than 240 inches (20 feet, 609 cm). A stout-bodied snake with dark dorsal blotches and lateral markings, both usually edged in dark brown or black. Dorsal blotches are variable in size and shape and separated by thin light-colored bars that always extend laterally to the belly. The belly is dark spotted along the sides and uniform light-colored in the center. The top of the head is dark with a light stripe on both sides of the head from the temporal region, through the eye, and to the nose. The scales are smooth. The pupil is elliptical, a cat-like vertical slit. There are deep facial pits between along the upper lip. Juvenile pattern is similar to that of adults, except that coloration is brighter.
A. Top of the head
B. Side of the head
Range: In Florida, this snake has been introduced in numerous areas. However, it is currently known to be established in the Everglades region (Collier, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties) and northern Key Largo (Monroe County). Outside Florida, this species occurs in northeastern India, Burma, southern China, Vietnam, and Thailand north of the Kra Isthmus. Its disjunct distribution on the Indonesian islands of Kalimantan, Java, Sumbawa, and Sulawesi may be due to human introductions like that in Florida.
Habitat: In Florida, this species has been found in and around undeveloped seasonally flooded wetlands (i.e., The Everglades), hardwood hammocks, mangrove salt marshes, high density Melaleuca trees, agricultural areas, man-made canals and lakes, and housing developments.
Comments: HARMLESS (Non-Venomous).
Since 1995, >1,200 Burmese Pythons have been removed from Florida. Record clutch size is 85 eggs from a single female in Florida. They are dietary generalists, eating primarily birds, mammals, and occasionally alligators.
Burmese Pythons are powerful constrictors, and their bites and sharp teeth can cause severe lacerations.
Comparison with other species: The Northern African Python (Python sebae) has bold dark dorsal blotches separated by thin light-colored bars that rarely extend laterally as they mostly terminate when contacting the dark lateral stripe, and a belly that is entirely speckled.

Grilling: Asparagus Soup with Herb Gremolata Recipe
"This was a pleasant break from my normal grilled asparagus."
Asparagus is made for the grill. Simply dressed or done up all fancy-like, you just can't go wrong when they're cooked over the flames. With spears coming at me at every turn this time of year, I'm always thinking of new things to do with them, which is why this recipe for asparagus soup caught my eye. Requiring five pounds of asparagus, it was the perfect recipe to jump one while prices were low.
Those tons of stalks were skewered and grilled alongside leeks, then given a whirl in a blender with some chicken stock. Warmed up and seasoned to taste, the soup was done.
Being so simple, each flavor—asparagus, leeks, and the stock—came through in every spoonful, but those spoonfuls were just kind of "blah." Luckily, there was a gremolata mixture of parsley, lemon zest, garlic and tarragon to come to rescue!
Even if the licorice-flavored tarragon was a little too strong for my liking—I would try thyme if I made this again—the gremolata added the dearly missing punch the soup itself initially lacked. All rounded out, this was a pleasant break from my normal grilled asparagus, even if a bunch of spears with a little oil, salt, and pepper cooked over a hot fire produces a superior end result too.
Grilled Asparagus Soup with Herb Gremolata
Adapted from Bon Appétit
- For the Gremolata:
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
- 4 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 5 pounds asparagus, washed, tough ends snapped off
- 3 large leeks, split, trimmed and cleaned
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 cups (or more) low-sodium chicken broth
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Wood skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to use
- Type of fire: direct
- Grill heat: high
Mix all of the ingredients for the gremolata together in a small bowl and set aside.
Light one chimney full of charcoal. While the fire is lighting, Thread asparagus spears onto the skewers, with 1 skewer going through the bottom of the asparagus and the other going through the top. Brush the asparagus and leeks all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over the charcoal grate. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Grill the asparagus and leeks until well browned and completely soft, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for the asparagus and 5 to 10 minutes per side for the leeks. Remove from the grill and roughly chop.
Place 1/3 of the chopped asparagus and leeks in the bowl of a blender with 2 cups of the chicken stock. Puree until completely smooth. Pour out into a large pot and repeat twice with the remaining vegetables and stock. Warm soup over medium heat, thinning with 1/2 cup of a broth at a time, if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle soup into bowls, sprinkle with the gremolata and serve.
