Clearing the record of those who have wronged me and not holding a grudge.
Forgiveness does not come naturally and it is difficult to really understand the meaning of forgiveness. Forgiving, forgetting and moving on are all important aspects of forgiveness.
On a winter morning in 1944, the Gestapo raided the home of Casper ten Boom. Casper and his two daughters had quietly sheltered Jews during the German occupation. Casper ten Boom died a few days after the raid and the girls, Betsie and Corrie, found themselves on a train bound for a dreaded concentration camp. There, the sisters were starved, beaten and subjected to forced labor - all because of a stranger named Jan Vogel. It was he who betrayed them to the Nazis.
In the midst of betrayal and mistreatment the character quality of forgiveness may seem impossible. That was Corrie ten Boom's initial feeling - she hated Jan Vogel. She was so consumed with anger that she became ill and was unable to sleep. Yet Betsie expressed no rage. "Don't you feel anything about Jan Vogel?" Corrie asked her sister. "Oh, yes, Corrie, terribly!" Betsie replied. "I've felt for him ever since I knew - and pray for him whenever his name comes to mind. How dreadfully he must be suffering!"
Thus Betsie taught Corrie a different response to cruelty. Betsie realized she could not control her circumstances or the people involved, but she could control her response. Though forgiveness was not easy, Corrie knew it was the right decision and at last, in the midst of the concentration camp, Corrie let go of her anger. This change in attitude is the cornerstone of forgiveness. It did not change the brutality she experienced or the betrayal by Jan Vogel, but it did change Corrie.
However difficult it may seem, true forgiveness begins when we let go of anger and seek restoration - not revenge. Corrie ten Boom often spoke of forgiveness as a "cold-blooded decision." It is not an attitude that is felt, but one that is decided. In the face of an offender, the feeling of forgiveness may not come until you make the decision to let go of your anger and forgive. Forgiveness is a choice. Is there someone you need to choose to forgive?
At home, discuss the story of Corrie ten Boom with your children. Talk about the importance of choosing to forgive in order to move on.

5-HTP update – hmm, not working so well nowOctober 20, 2009 at 3:04 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 5 Comments
Tags: 5 HTP, fatigue, fibromyalgia, hot flashes, hot flushes, R.A., Rheumatoid arthritis, sleep, tiredness
I don't know if the 5-HTP (which I've been taking for a while to help me sleep, as sleep (or lack of it) seems to be a probable cause for fibromyalgia) becomes less effective after a certain amount of time, but I've just recently stopped finding it very effective. My bro takes it sometimes too and he reckons that if he takes it for a while he becomes kind of desensitized to it, so perhaps it's that.
It was fantastically helpful for a couple of months, but then I started to find that if I woke up, even if it was only an hour or two after falling asleep on taking the tablet, I couldn't get back to sleep again.
Now the flipping hot flushes have started again, I'm waking up about once an hour and hot flushing BIG TIME. Of course that makes me feel utterly disgusting and I usually have to get up for a bit, after which I'm wide awake for a few minutes. Only a few minutes doesn't sound so bad, does it … until you realise that this is happening six times a night or so.
Surprise, surprise – the fibro is coming back. Off to see my lovely cake-recommending physio this afternoon so that will help, but I fear I'm going to have to try the meds that the consultant recommended months ago but that I've been avoiding as the side effects include weight gain. (I know, I know, my favourite lecture is about how you mustn't assume you'll get all the side effects going, but I know when it comes to me and weight gain I'm doooooomed!)
Any advice on getting rid of the flushes (or packets of roasted soya beans in the post, and instructions on the uses thereof, Maggie, if you're reading this) would be much appreciated!!

I'm not an chemist but as I know if you want to use 5-htp as an sleeping aid you should consider taking some vitamin C with it, which instead of your body turning it to serotonin (and melatonin) it'll turn it into more melatonin which is responsible for the "sleeping part" of the brain.
Normally serotonin isn't very helpful in sleeping .. it might even counteract it.

Commissioner William Watkins voted against it.�Frost laws in the neighboring counties are also set to go into effect Monday including Branch and Jackson Counties. Lenawee County imposed its law this past Monday.��To be uniform I guess we should go ahead and impose it Monday,� said Stan Clingerman, Hillsdale County Road Commission engineer-manager.�The law limits speed and weight of vehicles over 10,000 pounds using county roads except for 50 miles of all-season haul roads. Axle loads should be reduced by 35 percent from maximum allowable loads and maximum speed is 35 mph.�The laws do not apply to state highways within the county.�During Thursday�s meeting commissioners also heard a presentation from Gary Reppert, traffic safety director.�He said the trends in workmen�s compensation claims, incidents, personal injury accidents and fatalities are going in the right direction, down.�Reppert tracks all of the reported claims and accidents in the county. Those reports help the county to address trouble areas on county roads.�He said the road repair work that was done to Mechanic Road at Lake Wilson Road was a highly successful project in 2009.��Since that time I haven�t been able to find the report of any accidents at the corner,� he said.�He has also seen improvement in those intersections at North Adams Road and Waldron Road and Litchfield Road at Cobb Lake that were repaired in 2010.�The commissioners also approved an increase in the foreman�s quarterly bonus by $150 each to $400 for their on call service. The bonus is paid on a quarterly basis and there are four foreman eligible for it.

Universal Life Force
Posted 16 April 2012 - 01:13 PM
What do you call it and what is your definition?

Rather I believe that all living things have something that sets them apart from the inanimate. It is that which gives them life. In other words consider two individuals sitting side by side. From a physical point of view both are simply a collection of matter comprised of various minerals. One could go out and buy these same minerals in the concentrations present in the bodies and mix them together. The two people sitting there would be alive, and they would be looking at a pile matter on the floor in front of them. What the pile of matter lacks is that which causes life.
Yet it is not universal, rather still individual. If the first person strikes a match and burns his fingers the second will not feel the pain directly. Likewise what the second person sees is not seen by the first unless he too looks. They are two individuals. The only way for them to share thoughts or ideas is by some form of communication.
There is certainly a life force present, although I don't consider it universal. This life force is individual, I would more call it a soul. This is the force that lives on after the body dies. Maybe an analogy might be a computer program, and the body is the computer. The program runs in the body all of our lives. At death it is transferred to another computer. (Maybe the "spiritual body?) Thus, even though the human body dies the life goes on.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:35 AM
I don't recognize any single Universal Life Force per se. To attribute life as universal would imply that all things are alive, including those which are inanimate.
Ironically nothing in the uni-Verse is inanimate.............. everything vibrates to it's own frequency, which means, they are throbbing with The Universal Life Force Energy.
Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above
Posted 17 April 2012 - 07:09 PM
Everything has ENERGY and that energy you can consider originates from the Universal Life Force. The Chair you are sitting at has its own vibration. Even light has a frequency. Everything we sit on, use, see and can't see has it's own vibration.
You say that when someone hurts their finger, the other person cannot feel it. I could because my energy vibrates at a higher level and allows me to "feel" other people and their injuries.
You say that when someone looks, unless you look you will not see it. Not true. I can see what you see and maybe even more.
I call the Universal Life Force, the life force that we were created by, I call it my soul. That soul was created from a mere fraction of that Life Force and as a physical human I give it a name and I call that name God.
Posted 18 April 2012 - 10:53 AM
Thus an object in motion, be it an atom responding to its natural frequency or the rock rolling along is by my definition inanimate. The person who conciously picks up the rock and throws it however is definitely an animate, living being. Of course there are forces in nature, electrical attraction, gravity, light, etc. And certainly objects will interact with these forces according to various "laws" of physics. (Some we may not even understand yet!) But responding to external stimuli does not make an object alive, nor does it do so to the force affecting it.
To make an object animate it would need to rise above basic physical laws and in some way alter which of these laws are applied. To take the example of the roick, a rock rolling down the hill is affected by gravity. But gravity can be altered by other influences. If one throws the rock into the air gravity is "altered" to extent that external energy (the force of propelling it into the air) causes the rock to fall at a different angle. Thus forces can be manipulated by other forces.
Still these are inanimate objects. Even if the rock were exploded from the cone of a volcano, it would still be inanimate since no living being caused the event. Ongoing pressure simply reached the point where it blew! Of course one might take the stand that "God made it happen." Enter the animate. At this point the inanimate is affected by the animate, much as a man might make a concious decision to throw the rock into the air.
This is where I place the defining line between animate and inanimate objects.
When I make the statement regarding seeing or feeling another person's impressions I am referring to physically associating with that person. Of course we can sympathsize with another, on that level we can "feel" their pain or pleasure. I won't dispute that. But we cannot see through their eyes directly. If anyone can make that claim I want to meet them and conduct a simple test! I will view a highly complex subject and challenge them to draw a detailed sketch of what I am viewing. If they can successfully do so by seeing through my eyes I will have to admit my above statement is wrong.

You speak of life as something that moves of its own accord without external stimulus. I speak of life that is ENERGY. Everything is energy and that includes the radio waves that are a FREQUENCY. Frequency IS energy. Atoms have natural frequency but it still is a frequency which IS ENERGY. A rock rolling down a hill had to have EXTERNAL stimulus and no it does not have more life than one sitting there but.... it still has life. Rocks have energy. They are able to evolve. They have a frequency all of its own.
The Earth has energy, a heartbeat. It is alive.
You speak of FORCES. What are forces? Energy. Gravity? Energy. Volcano erupting? Energy. Tell me.. where does energy originate from?
Just because you can't SEE it move, doesn't mean that is not. An inanimate object has energy that IS. It doesn't have a consciousness but it does have a life force in it. Plants and animals have a higher vibrational life force, so it shifts and it grows and it moves. A rock has what you would call stagnant energy but energy it has. A tree that is cut and we make things out of the wood has a sustainable life force. Its contains that source, but it's movement, just as something were to die, it ceases to have visible movement, it becomes a energy force that just IS.
If the physical body were not made of atoms (and we won't go into the full description of how the physical body is created and moves) that vibrate, if we stripped away all that.... we would be stagnant energy or energy that just IS. You would need an external force to move you.
SEEING what others see... You didn't say seeing though their eyes directly.
You stated; Likewise what the second person sees is not seen by the first unless he too looks. They are two individuals. The only way for them to share thoughts or ideas is by some form of communication.
You don't have to conduct a test on seeing what others are seeing and seeing details. That was done by the military for years and they may still be using it. It's called Remote Viewing. I believe Skip Atwater was the best that the military found and worked with. I also can remote view.
Posted 19 April 2012 - 07:53 PM
To address your last comment first. I agree regarding remote viewing. I have even worked with a sensitive who makes that claim. And yes I have verified some of her claims, so I am not going to simply discount it.
The problem is that it is unreliable. I have seen things that she has siad that I can't explain how she did it. Even she doesn't know; it just comes to her as a thought. And I have also seen her miss to the extent that someone guessing could do better. Point is we don't know what she picks up on and why it only works sometimes. That is the subject for another topic. For now, based on what I have read the military, as have the Russians, done extensive research into remote viewing and come away with the same conclusions I have. There may be something to it, but in its current state it can't be trusted. More work needs done.
But what I was refering to above is more than remote viewing as we know it. It would be seeing DIRECTLY what another sees through his eyes. In other words, I am saying if all life is universal and connected we should be able to "tap in" to that level. Clearly though, what I see remains within my conciousness and what you see remains with you. Thus my contention that the life force, soul if you will, is not universal. Rather each of us has it confined within our own physical body. Any contact between us is simply a form of communication, be it verbally, audibly, or even if done via remote viewing.
You stated: Everything is energy and that includes the radio waves that are a FREQUENCY. Frequency IS energy. Atoms have natural frequency but it still is a frequency which IS ENERGY.
Frequency is not energy in and of itself. Rather frequency is a characteristic of some forms of energy. And yes all MATTER has a natural frequency based on its atomic structure. It has nothing to do with life (Except to the extent that living organisms generate electrical activity such as brain waves). Consider hydrogen for example Its natural resonate frequency is 1420 mHz. When one does a spectroscopic study of light from a star, for example, each element present will display its natural frequency at the appropriate point on the spectrum.
This has nothing to do with living or non-living; it only signifies that a particular element is present, and the frequency is a factor of which element it is.
Going back to the rock, its frequency would be a matter of what element it was comprised of. Silica would have one natural frequency, iron another, etc. And unless some external event were employed such as splitting its atoms, the energy would remain locked in the atomic structure.
Which doesn't mean the rock couldn't store energy. If the rock were picked up and placed on a shelf there is now stored potential energy. A given amount of energy was expended to lift it, and if it fell from the shelf gravity would release that stored energy as it fell to its original location.
But this energy has no frequency. The atoms that make up the rock do have a natural frequency, but gravity is a steady state energy (DC) thus has no frequency component present. Even if the rock were iron, falling through the earth's magnetic field, the Electric force generated would be DC with no frequency component.

Radio waves and energy...
Posted 23 April 2012 - 10:36 AM
The area we are concerned with here, frequency being a form of energy is the point I was debating. Clearly the article shows the level of energy in the wave does not change as frequency increases or decreases. The amount of energy present in the wave is rather a function of amplitude (height) of the radio wave. In that aspect the amount of energy present DOES change. It is the same as increasing the voltage present on an incandescent light bulb will cause the bulb to glow brighter. If that same bulb were connected across a fixed amplitude , variable frequency power source altering the frequency would have no affect on the average intensity of the light given off. This would confirm that a change in frequency does not represent a change in energy present.
I should point out that I am referring to average output. If one were to use an extremely low frequency the bulb would appear to pulse on and off on each cycle. This would give a false positive of a change. This factor is accounted for by use of the RMS (root means squared) value versus peak or peak to peak values. More complicated than I will go into here but the terms can be Googled for the math behind them!

This "Lone Ranger" misses the mark -- something the Masked Man rarely did on television -- in a 149-minute mess of a movie.
If you go into "The Lone Ranger" expecting a beautifully photographed Western with some great stunts and lots of action, you will be very pleased.
However, if you are expecting a tight, well-told story about a man who finds his true calling – bringing justice to a lawless land while hiding his true identity – you're going to be disappointed.
Basically, what I'm saying is this film is an OK ride as far as popcorn movies go, but it ain't the classic Lone Ranger. Many remember the 1949-1957 TV show starring Clayton Moore as the Lone Ranger and Jay Silverheels as his "faithful Indian companion," Tonto as the definitive telling of the Lone Ranger tale.
True, the storylines were much the same, the acting alternated between wooden and over the top and it was pretty obvious many of the outdoor scenes were shot on a California soundstage, but still it was entertaining.
Back then, any villain staring into the Lone Ranger's masked face knew he was not to be trifled with.
This one seems to be an alternate universe version of the Masked Man. Most of the bad guys encountering this Ranger would have to wonder, "Who the heck is this guy?"
A lot has been made of the fact that this film stars Johnny Depp as Tonto; indeed, Depp's name appears in the end credits all by itself, before the title even flashes onto the screen.
Armie Hammer, who plays the fellow this film is supposedly about, pretty much is second fiddle to Depp. You tend to forget about Hammer's version of the Ranger every once in a while since there doesn't seem to be much substance behind the mask or under the white hat.
Because this is a Disney-produced film, it carries an almost de rigueur touch of Magic Kingdom-style fantasy. About halfway through the film, we learn from a Comanche chieftain that Tonto is "not right in the head," owing to a childhood trauma. Since we see the story through Tonto's eyes, told years later when he's been reduced to a sideshow attraction, we're sold a bill of goods by a slightly dotty old mystic who seems to have spent a little too much time in the sun.
But that's an excuse I've provided to try to make sense of a classic American tale that's been warped into something else entirely. Even the classic Lone Ranger theme, taken from the "William Tell Overture," doesn't seem to fit this film. You can't help but associate Rossini's work with the tales of the Masked Avenger of the West, but here it's used as little more than background music.
The storyline had promise. Before he dons the mask, the Ranger is John Reid, a district attorney and brother to Texas Ranger Dan Reid. Dan has been awaiting the arrival of notorious outlaw – and apparent cannibal – Butch Cavendish, who is being brought to town for execution.
Cavendish – and Tonto, for some reason – are aboard a prison train when the outlaw escapes. The first meeting between Tonto and John does not go well, as John tosses Tonto in jail after a miraculous escape from a train wreck. Dan deputizes John and eight Rangers set off in search of Cavendish. They're betrayed and shot down; John, fading in and out of consciousness witnesses Cavendish having a bloody meal that's just a little too much for a Disney film.
Tonto, who has somehow broken out of jail, reluctantly decides to rescue the barely-alive John Reid after a white "spirit horse" shows up to indicate he actually is a great warrior.
Because much of what we see in this film is through Tonto's eyes, we also see it through Tonto's own beliefs in the spirit world. Depp and director Gore Verbinski must have felt this touch of mysticism could explain some odd coincidences and gloss over some of the plot holes in the story, but it's just an excuse for sloppy storytelling and uneven pacing.
Depp's portrayal of a slightly unbalanced Tonto is OK although Hammer plays Reid as hopelessly naïve throughout most of the film. Even by the time the movie ends and Reid has begun to see what his role will be, Hammer just does not click as the Lone Ranger.
Maybe that's why when he rides off into the sunset, no one voices the character's familiar catchphrase, "Who was that masked man?"
It's not because no one knows, it's because no one cares.

Getting OpenLink working on a LS-HS
This page describes how to install OpenLink on a Linkstation HS-D300GL or HS-D400GL. The HS version of the Linkstation has the unique problem of rebooting every five minutes after being flashed with a custom firmware like OpenLink or FreeLink. This write-up documents the path taken to perform an OpenLink install on a Linkstation HS, and to update the kernel in order to solve the rebooting problem. It is detail-oriented (perhaps too much so) to help beginners make the required changes to their box.
This document is heavily based on the work of others:
- Information about controlling the bootloader [1]
- Information about avr_evtd (it is automatically installed via the webinstaller)[2]
- Beginner's Questions in the HS (ppc) Forum Thread[3]
- 300GB Home Server Questions[4]
- Patch a HS-D300GL - NFS Server[5]
- HS (ppc) Forum Thread on Kernel Updating[6]
- Andre's Webinstaller for the Linux Kernel[7]
- Overview of the Linkstation Firmware Flasher (this is a must read!)[8]
Hardware and software configuration
- Host platform is MS Windows XP (SP2)
- Hardware is the HS-D300GL or HS-D400GL [9]. I had previously installed my own files (backups, music, etc.) on this disk drive prior to the f/w change, and they were preserved following the f/w change.
- Original firmware is v1.49.
- Software to be installed is OpenLink v051b and the v2.6 Andre Linux Kernel
Way 1 (short)
As the hardware of the HG and the HS is the same you just need to use the same firmimg.bin in flash. If you flash OpenLink for the HG you have nothing beneficial if you have the HS-kernel in flash.
1) What to download
http://downloads.nas-central.org/LSHG_PPC/Distributions/Openlink/hg-openlink-051b.zip http://downloads.nas-central.org/LSHS_PPC/StockFirmware/Stock/hs-dgl_DirectCopy_149_107.zip
2) unpack in seperate folders
3) copy the firmware-updater.exe from the hs-firmware-package to the hg-openlink-package
4) just flash the HG-firmimg.bin to flash and HG-openlink to the hdd by flashing via the firmware updater
5) your HS is a HG now. you can revert by doing it the opposite way
Way 2 (long)
This process can be broken down into four phases:
- Phase 1: Know Your Hardware
- Phase 2: Collect the Tools and Software
- Phase 3: Update The Firmware
- Phase 4: Configure Internet Access
- Phase 5: Update Linux Kernel
...and your done.
PHASE 1: Know Your Hardware
Find out which firmware version your LinkStation has[10] and make very sure you have an HS-DGL (PowerPC) Linkstation. This could either these two model numbers:
If you do not have this specific hardware, it is advised that you find another write-up to help you with the install.
It is advised that you back up the files on this drive before performing this work. However, a normal installation process should preserve your files.
PHASE 2: Collect the Tools and Software
Perform the following steps using the computer you will eventually directly connect to the LinkStation to perform the firmware update.[4]
- Download both the HS-DGL-Firmware and the HG-Openlink
- http://downloads.nas-central.org/stock_firmware/hs-dgl_DirectCopy_149_107.zip (stock or the telnet-enabled, both have the firmware-updater included)
- http://downloads.nas-central.org/openlink/hg-openlink-051b.zip
- Unzip both packages in a seperate folder
- Copy the image.dat from the openlink-HG-package over the image.dat of the HS-DGL-Folder.
Now you have the tools to perform the firmware change and you're ready for Phase 3.
PHASE 3: Update the Firmware
Here you will actually change the operating firmware of the HS-DGL box. You will directly connect to the LinkStation, then perform the update. It is strongly recommended that you connect both the computer and the LinkStation to an UPS to make sure a power failure does not impact your update.
1) Using the LinkStation web application, if you wish to use a static IP disable the DHCP client function. You'll then need to select an IP address the box will use. Pick an IP address that is in the same sub-range as your network. For example, if your own computer's IP address is 192.168.0.5, you can set the LinkStation IP to an unused IP address on your network (perhaps 192.168.0.20). The LinkStation will take a minute to restart with the new IP address. See the screenshot for what this looks like:
2) Now change your own computer over to using a static IP address. This can be done by right-clicking the Network Connection icon and selecting Properties. Again, choose an unused IP address in the same sub-range as your network (and the LinkStation). I chose 192.168.0.21.
3) Disconnect the LinkStation and your own computer from the network. Connect them together directly (do not use a hub or a router). I used a crossover cable, but this is not required as the LinkStation auto-senses the connection. You should see network connectivity on your computer now.
4) This step is very important: Disable any and all firewalls, virus checkers, spyware filters, etc. you have running on your computer. Examples of this include Norton, MacAfee, OneCare, etc. Also, go to Start, Control Panel, Windows Firewall and make sure this is OFF. Finally, make sure the only enabled network adapter in your computer is the one that is connected to the LinkStation. If you're using a laptop, make sure the wireless networking is disabled.
5) Now you are ready to actually udpate the firmware. Double-click on the file called "hs-dgl_DirectCopy_149_107\HS-DGL FWUpdater" that you have on your hard drive. Remember, this is the folder in which you replaced the "image.dat" file in the previous phase. This will start up the firmware update utility.
CAUTION! If you experience problems loading the updater (e.g. no dialogue box appears), try creating a shortcut, right click, properties, check the compatibility mode for Windows 2000.
6) You will be prompted for the administrator password. I left this blank. I had no password set on my linkstation (except for secure folder access).
7) Click the "Renew Firmware" button. The f/w will load (it took about 2 minutes in my case). You will then see a "Settings are being restored message" and a couple of LinkStation soft re-boots will occur. When you see the message "Firmware has been renewed" you can click OK to exit the updater.
|For the remainder of this Phase, the box may appear to re-boot every 5 minutes or so. This will require you to re-log back into the box. This annoyance will be fixed in Phases 4 and 5
8) Now you will log into your 'opened' LinkStation using Telnet. Open up a command dialog on your computer using Start, Run, cmd. In this black dialog box, enter the following:
telnet 192.168.0.20 (or the actual static IP you used for the LinkStation)
If you get the prompt "bash-2.05a#" - you successfully opened up up your box!
Now your LinkStation is using firmware that has OpenLink available and the version 2.4 Linux kernel. You can also communicate to the LinkStation securely using telnet. Unfortunately, your LinkStation will now appear to soft reboot about every 5 minutes. This will be fixed in the next two Phases.
PHASE 4: Configure Internet Access
The LinkStation will need to communicate to the internet in Phase 5 to update the Linux kernel from v2.4 to v2.6. You need to tell the LinkStation how to do this. That is, you need to specify a gateway address using the web configuration interface. This is the address of your router on your normal network. Mine is 192.168.0.1. If you are using a Linksys router, it is likely 192.168.1.1.
1) For the kernel 2.6-webinstaller to run you need your HS be able to connect to the internet. If you use DHCP all is fine. If you use a static IP, execute
echo 'nameserver 188.8.131.52' > /etc/resolv.conf
This is a public nameserver....you can replace the IP with the nameserver of your choice...for example the same you use on your other hosts. If you are familiar with the VI text editor, you can simply edit the /etc/resolv.conf file and add the line to the end of the file.
2) Now perform a hard re-boot of the LinkStation (Press and hold the power button).
3) You can now disconnect the LinkStation from your computer and connect both the LinkStation and your computer back to the router. If you like, you can set your computer back to using DHCP for it's IP address. Leave the LinkStation's IP static for now.
PHASE 5: Update the Linux Kernel
You will now use the webinstaller to update the Linux kernel on your LinkStation. This will fix the rebooting problem. This is best done by copying and pasting the command lines directly into the cmd dialog box running telnet. You must perform these steps soon as possible following a reboot of the LinkStation.
Suggestion: Set up two windows side-by-side on your monitor: One with these commands ready to copy, and the other is the cmd dialog box.
The following steps differ slightly from the Tago Thread[5] which is also referred to in the Beginner's Questions Thread[4].
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY NOT BE IN SYNC WITH THE KERNEL MAINTAINER'S OWN DOCUMENTATION http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/documentation/README-webinstaller.html PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
- Linkstation HS users (only):
wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/latest-upgradehelper.tar.gz tar -C / -xvzf latest-upgradehelper.tar.gz
wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/latest-openlinkhelper.tar.gz wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/latest-webinstaller.tar.gz tar -C / -xvzf latest-openlinkhelper.tar.gz chmod 1777 /tmp tar -C / -xvzf latest-webinstaller.tar.gz /usr/local/sbin/webinstaller-kernelinst.sh
- Check what version you're running after a reboot:
uname -a
- If you see a 2.6.x kernel, it worked.
Congratulations! You're now running with OpenLink 051b and the version 2.6 Linux kernel.
At this point i've created a Kernel 2.6 Version of tmpimage-OL-0.51-HG.tgz which i've used basically for installing OpenLink manually, as described in Convert your PPC LinkStation into a full-blown Debian system. You could download this version (including above self-updating scripts) here: tmpimage-OL-0.51-HS-kernel-22.214.171.124.tgz

We Match. You Save.
Found a price that beats ours? We'll match it, guaranteed.
How do you do it?
Step #1: Find the Ad, Copy the URL
When you find a lower price, save the web page URL. You'll need it to get your discount.
Step #2: Use the Price Match Request Form
You'll see a form at the bottom of this page. Paste the full web page URL into the appropriate slot, fill out the rest of the information, and send it to us.
Step #3: Profit!!!
Enjoy your savings, you wiley scoundrel.
What's in it for us?
We love you, and we want your business. We don't want you to run off with some other online retailer, so we're, of course, willing to give you the same deal they are. Plus, in the end, our deal will be way better than theirs! We'll match their price while we deliver life-of-product technical support, real customer service, and free shipping.
More Technical Details
To qualify for a Price Match, you must be able to produce a published price from a legitimate online retailer. Hearing about a 'great deal' from your cousin's neighbor's best friend does not count. The retailer in question will also need to have the product in stock and ready to ship. If it's on backorder, that's a mulligan. You get one claim per product, and cannot use the Price Match Policy in conjunction with other coupons, discounts, Labor Day (or other holiday) sales, or Voodoo magic. Typos, mail in rebates, closeout sales, and other non-standard retail transactions don't count either. Also, finding a great deal on Ebay or another auction site doesn't work.
Basically, the competing price must be for the same product, brand new, factory-sealed, style, model, etc etc. We also reserve the right to deny the IWAE Price Match Policy to anyone who we think is trying to get one over on us and/or trade us a wooden nickel.

6 teens killed, 2 hurt in northeast Ohio crash
WARREN, Ohio A sport utility vehicle carrying eight teenagers crashed into a guardrail Sunday morning and flipped over into a swampy pond in northeast Ohio, killing six of them while two escaped, the state highway patrol said.
The Honda Passport veered off the left side of a road, hit a guardrail and overturned just south of the city of Warren, about 60 miles east of Cleveland, Lt. Anne Ralston said. Investigators say it came to rest upside down in the swamp and sank with five of the victims trapped inside. A sixth who was thrown from the SUV during the crash was found under it when the vehicle was taken out of the water.
The two survivors escaped and ran to a nearby home to call 911, the highway patrol said.
5 firefighters hurt in 5-alarm N.J. fire
HARRISON, N.J. Authorities say five firefighters were injured while battling a five-alarm fire at a northern New Jersey building that extended to some adjoining buildings.
None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, but officials said one firefighter suffered extensive cuts when a backdraft caused an explosion that shattered a window.
The fire broke out Sunday morning in Harrison and burned for several hours before it was brought under control. Its not yet clear what sparked the blaze, which apparently started in a restaurant on the buildings ground floor and spread toward a nearby apartment building. No civilian injuries were reported.
The fire sent heavy, black smoke spewing from the two-story building. It also spurred travel delays and forced organizers to re-route a St. Patricks Day parade being staged nearby.

Here we have 37 yarnbombed bollards in Madrid created by the wonderful and productive Spanish yarnbomber Adriana Turmero on the occasion of her one year yarnbombing anniversary . Nov 2012
I love Adriana Turmero , she is a yarnbomb chroniclers dream . She works very prolifically in an original , recognizable style with her confident and beautifully balanced crocheted squares . She yarnbombs everywhere she goes { She was on vacation in Maimi recently and yarnbombed and then went on to Caracas and did the first yarnbomb in Venezuela that we know about . } And she writes all about it in Spanish and English ! With dates and locations and every detail I want .
So here is an astonishing little detail – this whole installation was up for only a few hours and the city came and took it away . This news shook even such an experienced yarnbomber as myself.
" Oh Adriana ! " I want to say " Can't you hide in wait and then run out and tear the yarnbombs out of their crabby little hands ? "
Adriana is so unfazed that when she made a video of this action she used a song that said
'We won't stop until somebody calls the cops and even then we will start again
And pretend that nothing ever happened ."
well that is strengthening .
more here
And here we have 83 trees yarnbombed in red and white for Christmas in Geelong Australia by The Norlane Yarnbombers . Nov 18 2012 .
I love how aggressive and ambitious everyone is getting. I remember when I was so impressed that I yarnbombed one pole .
Onto France – 700 seniors yarnbombed The Jardin des Plantes in Nantes France as part of The Recontes Autumn Nov 14 2012 . more here
When I wrote about this on Facebook someone asked me what a senior was . A senior is an older person .
What is so ironic about this for me is here in the states yarnbombing keeps getting called ' granny bknitting " or converseley written about as " Not Your Granny's Knitting " Well all this is so silly , every age likes to get together and eat cake and knit and crochet and then go out and dominate the town with it .
And finally here is " Dancing With Wool " at The Riverfront on the Waccamaw River in Conway , South Carolina . Up until Dec 1 2012 . more here
This was Lion Brand yarn , Create Conway , Conway Glass and Conway Downtown Alive !
There is a good story for this . Barbara Streeter owns Conway glass in Conway , S.C . She had a friend yarnbomb a tree for her outside her shop . It was pink crochet I believe . Apparently there was a complaint and the city forced her to take it down .
So now several months later she helped arranged this very extensive and exhilarating lamp post yarnbombing installation , involving and charming the whole city of Conway .
This is a very good revenge .

Twitter messages were providing data that would have been a quicker way of detecting and tracking the 2010 cholera outbreak in Haiti than traditional methods, according to a study [1] published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
The study found that online social media and news feeds were faster than, and broadly as accurate as, the official records at detecting the start and early progress of the epidemic, which hit Haiti after the earthquake in January 2010 and has killed more than 6,500 people.
The authors used HealthMap, an automated surveillance platform, to measure the volume of news media generated during the first 100 days of the outbreak, and they also looked at the number of 'cholera' posts on Twitter.
These informal reports were available online up to two weeks before official government reports were released, implying that they could be used to get earlier estimates of a disease outbreak.
James Wilson, executive director of the Haiti Epidemic Advisory System warned that social media sources like Twitter were often inaccurate and biased towards outbreaks in the capital Port-au-Prince where most of the journalists were based.
One of the study's authors, Rumi Chunara recognised that informal data sources could be inaccurate but added that they could complement official data in an outbreak to get timely estimates of disease dynamics.

This took place about a year ago around this time of year. My boyfriend (Mike), his cousin (David), and 2 of our friends (Russ and Burt) had gone to Gallups Cemetery (Gallups Cemetery is located right off Cedar Swamp RD on Porter Pond RD if I'm not mistaken. It's a little cemetery) They were there at night and they were only equipped with a camera and a few flash lights. There was snow on the ground and it was rather cold out, so they decided they weren't going to stay for that long. Their plan was to simply walk around the cemetery and snap a few pictures. So they entered the old cemetery first admiring the old monuments but soon they started taking pictures. About a half hour into their little investigation they decided to pair up and go in seperate directions. Each pair started walking their own way when not even 2 minutes later, Mike and Dave were suddenly stopped by a "blood-curdling" scream. They said it wasn't like any kind of scream they have ever heard before. Plus it was so loud they thought it had woken up the people who lived next to the cemetery. So they looked behind them at Russ and Burt expecting them to be looking back at them, but they were still walking towards the back of the cemetery unalarmed. So Mike and Dave ran up to them and asked if they had just heard that and they both said they didn't hear anything. So at this point they decided to regroup and enter the woods at the left rear side of the cemetery. When they got to the woods they entered in a single file line. Burt was in the back of the line and he said while they were walking he heard someone (or something) sigh in his right ear. He looked to his right but no one was there. Burt said it felt as if someone was right next to him because the sigh had been so clear and close sounding. (Now this was Burts first time going on an investigation, and he was quite shocked and he thought it sounded crazy, so he didn't tell anyone until after they returned to their veihicle). But what happened about 10 minutes later that really struck fear into them was when they had all stopped because they felt like they were being watched. Russ took his flashlight and pointed it infront of him when Mike, Dave and Russ all saw a shadowy black figure move from the right side of the path to the left. (Burt said he coudln't see anything because everyone was blocking his view.) They said it was incredibly fast and it dissapeared just as quickly has it came. This really freaked them out and after witnessing this, they all ran back to the car and left the cemetery.
Burt, to this day, refuses to go on another investigation. However Mike, Russ, Dave and I are planning another trip back there soon. But this time I'm going to bring all of my equipment with us. I want to try out a few different methods.
I hope you guys found the story interesting, and I hope to hear from other people as well. =D
Thank you all for reading.

Six Taft women balance sport with schedule
When it comes to sports everyone knows that football, baseball, basketball and hockey are physical and popular.
What many do not know is that there is another sport out there that has those same kind of qualities with several twists.
Taft's Heather Manuz, Kara Koenig, Laney Pait, Mandy Gaylord, Terra Bullard and Michelle Kincaid are getting a taste of that sport first hand by taking part in a pair of roller derby teams in Bakersfield.
"It's pushed me to be a better person," Koenig said of the experience.
"I think it changed everyone's self esteem since we started," said Bullard.
Pait and Manuz were the first Taft players out of the six to get interested in roller derby. Manuz called up Pait and asked Pait to go with her and try out in January of 2010 and it took off from there.
"I talked her into it," said Manuz.
Koenig followed in 2011. After leaving for a short period of time she returned this year. Meanwhile Bullard, Kincaid and Gaylord started in January of this year.
"I caught the bug big time," said Manuz. "After seeing the first bout I was hooked."
The Taft players, who range in age from 35-39, are not all on the same team yet.
Currently, Manuz is on the Bakersfield Diamond Divas team while Pait, Bullard and Koenig are on the Divas sister team the Roughcuts.
However, from time to time with injuries and attendance, Bullard and Koenig have competed for the Divas.
Meanwhile Gaylord and Kincaid are on the Sparkles.
There is a difference between the Divas/Roughcuts and the Sparkles.
The Divas are a team that competes against other teams once a month like the Fresno Atomic Assault, San Diego Starlets and West Coast Knockouts and in places like Paso Robles, Santa Cruz and Utah.
Their season also runs between March and November with their home matches taking place at Skateland in Bakersfield.
The Sparkles on the other hand are a group of players looking to get onto the Divas/Roughcuts team.
In order to do so, they need to learn a series of skills including 27 laps in five minutes. They are then tested once a month.
"Once you have passed your skills test then you practice with the team," said Pait.
If they pass, they move up, if they don't they got to be retested in a month while still learning the skills.
However, its up to the coaches in order for a player to be placed on the Diamonds or Roughcuts roster. That is based on skills and attendance.
"We're trying to learn all our skills to participate to get on the floor with everyone else," said Kincaid.
"I am still trying to learn their skills," said Gaylord.
According to the players, a full bout in roller derby is two thirty minute halves.
The object in those bouts is to get your Jammer past the blocker. When a team does that they score. The team with the most points wins the bout.
According to Pait, a Jammer gets a point for every blocker she passes through out the entire jam.
There is a difference between a Jammer and a blocker with the blocker just having to move on the track. Meanwhile a pivot calls the audibles.
"Jammers have to be fast and agile," said Manuz.
"There's so much strategy," said Bullard.
During their bouts, the team will get anywhere between three and 1800 fans. Sometimes they pack the house according to Pait.
"People are within ten feet of the skating," said Koenig. "We usually interact with the crowds."
Yet the players are focused on what they have to do during their bouts.
"We hardly hear anything that's off the track," said Bullard.
One of the unique things about the Diamond Divas is that all the money from the raffles and 20 percent of the ticket sales goes back to charity.
Every year the team will vote on what Kern County charity they will donate to.
Some of the charities they have donated to are Marley's Mutts, Autism Awareness and Wounded Vets.
"I did not know how much they did for charity," said Kincaid.
"We don't make money off our bouts," said Manuz.
A week from Saturday, the Diamond Divas will be competing in a charity roller derby event at Rabobank Arena for the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House.
Another feature for each player on the team is their "alter ego" names.
Manuz, who is a pivot/block on the team is known as Doll E. D' Muerte while Koenig, who is a Jammer/blocker, is known as Flogging Mauley.
Pait, a Jammer, is known as My Lil Boney. Gaylord's name is Dinky DE fiance while Bullard, who is a blocker/pivot is Drop Kick Booty. Kincaid is known as Wikked Wizzher.
While there are some positives and excitement to roller derby there are challenges in the form of time, injuries and cost.
Aside from their bouts, the team practices three times a week for seven total hours a week.
"It's become a lifestyle," said Koenig.
On top of that the players have regular jobs and families and they have to make the trip from Taft to Bakersfield and back for each practice.
"It's difficult to balance," said Bullard, who is a postal worker by day. "We don't have time for regular friends anymore."
Instead, they have formed a group bond.
"We call each other derby sisters," said Koenig, who works as a preschool teacher. "I think the time commitment is the toughest part."
"It's definitely a support group," said Gaylord.
"We take care of each other," said Manuz. "It's like a sisterhood."
"In roller derby it's like a giant community," said Bullard.
One of the ways they have helped each other out is by carpooling. They are also there mentally for each other.
"We're all there for each other," said Koenig.
The six athletes are not the only players from Taft.
Another Taft resident who takes part in roller derby is Nicole Madsen who recently competed in the X games in Los Angeles.
The second challenge is injuries which include anything from black eyes, bruises and broken ankles.
In one case, Pait had to make a trip to the emergency room once for a hyper extended back while Manuz had a cracked rib.
In the same breath there are rules in roller derby like no tripping and no hitting while the legal zone is between the shoulder and knee.
You also have to use your hips and shoulders according to Koenig. Like hockey, roller derby has a penalty box.
"You can't punch people in the face," said Koenig.
While it is a physical sport, the players don't see themselves stopping.
"Even when I can't play full contact, I still want to be part of the team," said Manuz.
"Even if I had a catastrophic injury, I still will find a way to be part of the team," said Koenig. "You're never forced into retirement."
Another challenge is the cost. It costs $1000 with a combination of $40 for rink time, rollers, skates and pads.
The cost for a beginner is a little different with the cost being in the hundreds of dollars.
No matter the cost, the Divas will allow you to work it off at Rabobank Arena according to the players.
"You can work that off if you work at different events," said Kincaid.
Bullard has seen roller derby from two different angles, one from a referee's standpoint and one with her daughter Kayla, whose nickname is Fatality and is on the Diamond City Minors junior team.
The six athletes are hoping to carry their enjoyment of the sport back to Taft, like holding something like a Fit/No Hit class that involves the exercise of roller derby without the physical contact.
"It's something I would like to see happen," said Pait.
"They're really supportive of us," said Koenig.
"The Divas want to play here," said Manuz.

Robert Cecil Bloom
Robert Cecil Bloom, age 73, passed away Thursday morning, November 8, 2012 at his home in DeTour Township, Michigan.
Bob was born April 21,1939 in South Bend, Indiana to the late Chester and Marion (Replogle). He graduated from Benton Harbor High School in 1957 and immediately joined the US Navy and served as signalman on the USS Manatee, a tanker fueling ships in the Pacific. Leaving the Navy in 1961 Bob married Leora Slaughter and began his journeyman training in tool and die and worked in several job shops ending up as tool room supervisor at Rockwell International in Allegan MI.
On June 7, 1975 Bob married Jean Mason and they moved to DeTour Village where he worked at numerous jobs as carpenter, machinist, TV engineer at Channel 8 in Goetzville, MI., Pinkerton guard at the Cedarville Dolomite quarry, and driver for Great Lakes Pilots. In DeTour Bob established his own machine shop, built his seven level two season home (winter home earth sheltered) and began an artistic career in stained glass. He has been known as the "Village Tinker" creating art pieces, repairing numerous projects and mentoring several youngsters in his shop. He displayed his art pieces in summer art fairs and his stained glass windows are in six churches in DeTour, Drummond Island, Petoskey and Mackinaw City. His home is blessed with many light fixtures incorporating musical instruments. Bob has been a member of the American Legion, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, DeTour Community Choir and served on the DeTour Area School Board.
Bob grew up on Lake Michigan and loved being on the water. He earned his USS Coast Guard Captain's License in 1995. He enjoyed sailing with his wife Jean on the "Return to Forever" into the North channel, motoring on the houseboat "Cedar Lady" on the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, and row-sailing an old lifeboat with youngsters on several trips from the Sault to DeTour on the St. Marys River. His unique barge he built in DeTour "The SeaGull Perch" was a local landmark in Seymour bay. His last boat effort was the cutting in half the "Eva A," a steel gill net boat, and raising this half as a roof on his "Boat House" cabin.
Bob is survived by his first wife Leora, his second wife, Jean Bloom; four children; Robert (Connie) Bloom of Pullman, MI, Scott (Teresa) Bloom of Fennville, MI, Paul (Melissa) Mason of Grand Rapids, MI, and Douglas (Diane) Mason of Sterling, VA and ten grandchildren; Roberto, Alex, Reid, Tanner, Archie, Samuel, Martin, Emily, London, and Cyrus. Surviving also are the five foster children who lived with the Blooms in DeTour; John, Harold, Kevin and Shawn Sisson and Jeremy Reed.
According to Bob's wishes, no public services will be held. Memorials may be sent to Hospice House in the Sault. The family is especially thankful for the medical care from Dr. Thilik Chander, the War Memorial Hospital staff and finally the most gracious care from the Hospice staff; Sherri Walker, RN and Dr. Scott Aldrich and staff who helped make Bob's last two months comfortable at home.

Un-Fried Un-Fish
So I surprised myself when I decided to develop this Baked Tofu Fish Fry recipe for my cookbook:
I knew a good vegan Southern cookbook must include some faux catfish recipe, seeing as how its such a staple down here. But I felt like I already had enough fried recipes in the book. I don't want the whole cookbook to be a big fat fest, so I baked these tofu fish filets for a healthier spin.
The reddish brown stuff you see is dulse flakes, which is what makes the tofu taste like fish. And even though I'm not a huge fan of that fishy taste, these are tasty. The fish taste is mild, and I couldn't help but pat myself on the back for actually eating a healthy dose of sea vegetables.
I served my filets with vinegar and homemade tartar sauce (also in the book) and these Hush Puppy Corn Muffins:
If you've ever had a hush puppy, you know they're typically deep-fried. But if you're baking the faux fish, you can't very well break out the deep fryer for the hush puppies. These little guys have the same ingredients as my mom's fried puppies but without all the fat. The recipe will also be going in the cookbook.
Finally, I also tested out another of my mom's contributions for my cookbook — Fried Cabbage:
Last time I mentioned fried cabbage on the blog, a few commenters thought I meant "deep-fried" cabbage. But not so. It's really sauteed and caramelized with onions and a touch of sugar. But Southerners will label anything "fried" if they can get away with it.

"fried" cabbage is one of my faves! i love it when it gets all crispy in the skillet. i usually just use like 2 tablespoons of water to saute it, and the ends get all crispy.
i'm glad you included dulse in a recipe! i'm a huge fan of dulse flakes for some reason - i can imagine that this tastes good (even though i didn't love fish as a kid either).

Hello Sam,
I need help deciding on the colour of the baseboards in my basement. In the middle of the wall, we have a ledge. I have found two colours I may use for above and below the ledge, but I have no idea whether I should paint the ledge the same colour as the wall paint or the same colour in a gloss paint, or if it should be white?
Thank You,
Dear Chelsea,
It's natural when we see panelling, wainscotting, chair rails and crown moulding to feel compelled to use contrasting paint colours. In the right space, using a dark colour below the chair rail and a soft colour above (or vice versa) can look glorious, especially in homes with beefy moulding, high ceilings or a country vibe. However, in homes with skinny baseboards and puzzling ledges, you will still get character and dimension by painting the walls and millwork the same colour.
You'll also eliminate what I call the racing-stripe effect, which is created by high contrast thin bright white baseboards, crown, casings and chair rails. Racing-stripe trim is, as my mother would describe my teenage wardrobe, an "assault to the eye." I should add that the racing-stripe effect can also be created with flimsy dark-stained wood trim and builder's beige paint.
Uniform colour on walls and millwork will take care of a busy backdrop, marry different styles of moulding, and give you a cohesive and less chopped-up canvas to decorate. I apply this decorating device to every room I design where architectural details are lacking. In bedrooms, I paint closets, panelling and shelves the same colour. In living rooms, mantles, built-ins and baseboards and crown get painted the same colour.
But if your heart is set on two colours, then paint the walls and ceilings above the ledge a light colour and paint the ledge or chair rail walls and baseboards a dark colour. Use a flat finish on the walls and an eggshell finish on the trim (baseboards and ledge).
Because your ledge is in the basement where the ceilings are lower than the rest of your home, I would suggest painting everything - yes, every last bit of wall, ceiling and trim - all one colour. Not only will you make the room feel less clut-tered, you'll make the ceiling feel higher.
If your basement has bulkheads, it's really important that you eliminate the colour contrast between the ceiling and walls to make the bulkheads recede. This contrasting colour principle can be applied to all aspects of decorating. If you have a dark sofa and light walls, the sofa will appear larger and become a focus in the room. If you have a light sofa and light walls, the sofa will recede and become part of the room's backdrop.
As far as colour, a dark colour will work with light floors. Too many dark elements in a basement can feel like you're in a mineshaft. I'm partial to warm white and shades of sand and clay - they're foolproof.
Happy painting and happy decorating.

Mirabell is in a thoughtful mood. And there's one thing she thinks of before everything else.
When her lover is absent there is always another gorgeous body to make love to. It is her own. She knows in detail how to arouse herself. What is needed is plenty of oils. When she is totally covered, every part of her is gleaming and slippery. Now she can explore herself.
