Collections Published works Church-State Controversy Hitchin Mont Saint Michel Pontigny
The Society of Saint Edmund was founded in Pontigny, France in 1843. In their earliest years, they worked around Pontigny, later expanding to western France, including Mont St. Michel, Laval, and Chateau Gontier. In 1902, the Society was forced to give up its official status and many holdings in France, although personnel did remain and some of their works continued despite their unofficial status.* Beginning in the 1930's the Society attempted to reestablish a formal place in Pontigny. The Society maintained personnel in Pontigny throughout the 1930's and World War II. Following the war, they purchased Pontigny and established a House there, working in parishes in Joigny, Tonnerre, Toucy, and Alliant-Sur-Tholon. From 1947-1954 they had a school at Pontigny, the Collège St. Edme. In the 1970's a group of men, some of whom were already ordained, expressed an interest in revitalizing the society based on the ideals of the early founders, and for a time this new foundation was quite active. When this foundation ended in 1980, the society was left with only one remaining priest in France, Fr. Simmonet, who worked in the Diocese of Sens until his retirement in the 2000s.

I have no difficulty level adjuster. It just selects how the computer plays (stands, CPU controlled, jumps, etc...) but no difficulty level whatsoever. In my options screen, it only gives me volume and controller controls but no difficulty level adjustment option.

I know it sounds unfair, but I think the reasons why I don't like Sword Dance can be summarized as "It's not Melty Blood."

Okay, patched it to 1.11...is it me or in the patches did they power up caster to unbelievable proportions, because in version 1.00, she just shot her little laser beams at me and that was it along with the occasional ice spikes...now she's juggling me across the stage and back. (Though I did raise it one difficulty level from default). It also seems Berserker got a HUGE mobility boost. Before, I could jump circles around him with saber...now he can reach me even when I'm in the air? Broken.
Rider still plain old sucks. She simply doesn't have anywhere near the compensation in terms of speed and attack rate that she has for her short-ranged weaker moves. Compare Berserker to Astaroth and Rider to Taki. Berserker is WAAAAAAAAY stronger, Rider is WAAAAAAAAY weaker. Saber seems more or less fine the way she is, although I have NO idea how to rack up combos with her.

Rider is the ultimate rival for Archer, though. At least, it's the character I have most difficulties beating in the "Fatal" level (I usually play with Archer).
She's the fastest character, has good aerial movements, distance grabs, excellent juggle combos, the chain attack and handy noble phantasms. She's rather difficult to master (I wasn't able), though. But the machine uses her very well.
As for Caster's combos, they don't deal too much damage so it's OK even if you eat one or two of them. Besides, they are predictable and blockable.
I think the 1.11 version of the game is quite well balanced. Well, apart from Gil. The Gate of Babylon + Enuma Elish combo is particularly unfair (and a one-shot kill...)

Rider is also the ultimate rival for Caster...you can't cheese her with double jump beam beam beam repeat until shield break, use superbeam, repeat until death...every other character (well at least assassin and Saber) just stand there and block like idiots until you kill them, but Rider runs and jumps and is all in your face . The machine uses everyone very well.
By the way, how the heck does the computer's Saber do those zillion hit combos? It's something like a few hits on the ground ending in 6C followed by 26B into something I can't tell WHAT it is but as far as I can tell, she looks like a toddler bashing something over and over with her sword...kinda the way she looked like in ep 21 when trying to chop the veggies...chop chop chop chop chop x a 18 hits or so before handing you a one way ticket to the ground. Is that all 214A or 214B combos all in the air?
Another question...how do you activate those command mantras? Because when the computer does it, it starts doing these crazy cool-looking combos. Also, how do you unlock Gil? Do you have to beat it on Fatal without using continues?
And who's the most noob-friendly character? Saber?
Edit: do you use a controller for the game (if so, what kind?), or just the keyboard?

The combo Saber uses is as following:
(keys: 4=back
9forward and up
Most noob friendly has to be gil. Just beat arcade without getting hit at all.
Wait...if you can do that that means you're not a noob. Try Lancer then.
To activate command matras: A+D

Hmm, is there any particular difficulty level you have to beat it with in order to get Gil? Because that way I can just set it on easiest (1 bar) and just beamspam with caster until I'm blue in the face. She really reminds me of MVC2's iceman.
"Icebeam, icebeam, icebeam, icebeam!"
And I take it there's no "eroge" code either in Rider's case, is there?

Few questions:
What do the command mantras do? When I activate them, they just seem to do one attack and that's it.
What do Rider's Noble Phantasms do? I tried activating BFA and the gaze one, but other than change the color of the screen, they don't seem to affect the fight.
Is there a way to stop from being juggled in the air? I think I saw the computer start blocking me while he was in the air once, but I can't figure out how to do it. On a similar note, if someone is attacking you with a ground combo can you start blocking? Nothing I do seems to help, and I just stand there taking 20+ hit combos. Stupid Lancer.

1) Command mantras make you move and recover (perhaps do even more damage) a lot faster SO LONG AS YOU KEEP THE COMBO GOING. I put the game on fatal mode just to see how badly characters can combo...well here's the idea: caster can go from perhaps 20 some hits to nearly 60. Saber smashes you with a 50 hit combo by hitting you up, somersaulting to the other side, repeating the process, and when the mantra runs out, delivers her signature pop-you-up-then-wail-on-you combo.
2) Ummm, Belleraphone is Saber's Excalibur all over again. Gorgon-breaker (grey background) is free whackage while the timer lasts, and bloodfort I have no idea what.
3) Absolutely not. Once that counter starts going, take your hands off the controller, because you're going for a ride.

Jokes aside, Rin's figure is perfect as it is, and I'd never want to offend a fellow fan
Blood fort drains the "healable" part of the life bar of the foe and increases your own life bar.
To get Gilgamesh: beat the game without continues in any difficulty level.
To get True Assassin: you have to beat perfect two (or three?) rivals and he'll show up. If you defeat him he'll become playable.

Rider's BFA recovers your hp, while the gaze one slows down your opponent.
Press and hold back when you're in air to block.
If you're stuck in a combo you can't block anymore.
P.S. hitting backwards is defense, not blocking. Blocking is a unique move to Archer. (Hit FORWARDS at the moment you get attacked). It cancels your opponent's attack sequence plus gives you the priority in attack(if you hit the attack keys fast enough, that is. Took me quite a lot of practices)

Okay, I'll stop there.
If you've played Guilty Gear, command mantras work like Roman Cancels. I've yet to fully play around with them, though, since I barely know how to trigger it.
Oh, and a friend kicked my ass with endless Gate of Babylon spams. He won't tell me how he did it, but everytime I broke out of a GoB sword spam and recovered, there's always an attack to leave me open and waiting...to another GoB.
I know Gil's awesome but the way my friend cheesed me was ridiculous.

Fatal/Fake Beginner's guide and Character Comparision(translated from another frorum and edited for eaiser understanding):
Basic Controls:
or : attack
: Dodge. Move forward as well as sideways to dodge many attacks.
Down: Squat
Up: Jump
Forward Forward: Dash
Up Forward Forward: Jump Dash
Backwards: Guard when being attacked
Just Defense: Beserker/Assassin's special ability. Tap backwards(guard) key when being attacked to heal mana/hp
Blocking: Archer's special ability. Tap forwards when being attacked to counter attack
Counter: Hit attack when your opponent does. A weapon clash will occur and the one who hit attack first will be stunned for a looong time.
Directional Keys: I'll use numbers to represent the directions:
The directions assume you're facing the right.
e.g. 4=backwards 6 =forwards
For just defense I'll put up a replay to demonstrate it. See attatched url at bottom of post to locate the replays
(file name: just defense)
Now onto the character comparision:
Spoiler for saber:

Beating Gilgamesh in high difficulty levels is kinda hard. Not only it's difficult to get close: he has that damned invulnerable-while-attacking guard-skipping scythe, guard attacks, and the Gate of Babylown which builds up combo gauge at a ridiculously high pace.
And then there's the killer Gate of Babylon NP + continuous sword spams + in the moment your guard is broken and you eat a sword spam, Enuma Elish.
I'm sure competent human players (e.g. not me) could come up with unbeatable strategies with him.

Revision as of 13:49, January 26, 2009
plus key Boy Scout topics including Active, Scout Spirit, Scoutmaster Conference, and Board of Review.
|The Eagle Scout rank requirements were revised effective January 1, 2008.
|Eagle Scout Rank
The Eagle Scout Rank is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scout program of the Boy Scouts of America. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout Rank has been earned by more than 1.7 million young men. The title of "Eagle Scout" is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle".
Requirements include earning a number of merit badges and demonstrating Scout spirit, service, and leadership. This includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads, and manages. Eagle Scouts are presented with a medal and a badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout. Additional recognition can be earned through Eagle Palms, awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership, and merit badge requirements.

The BSA's highest award was originally conceived of as the Wolf Scout, as shown in the June 1911 Official Handbook for Boys. The August 1911 handbook subsequently changed this to Eagle Scout. The medal illustrated in the handbook was a profile of an eagle in flight, but was changed to the current design before any were issued. In their original conceptions, Life Scout, Star Scout (Life preceded Star until 1924) and Eagle Scout were not ranks, but part of the merit badge system that recognized Scouts who had earned a specified number of merit badges. Eagle Scout was awarded to any First Class Scout who had earned 21 merit badges. Consequently, eight of the first nine Eagle Scouts did not earn the ranks of Life or Star.
The first Eagle Scout medal was awarded in 1912 to Arthur Rose Eldred, a 17-year-old member of Troop 1 of Rockville Centre, Long Island, New York. Eldred was notified that he was to be awarded the rank of Eagle Scout in a letter from Chief Scout Executive James West, dated August 21, 1912. The design of the Eagle Scout medal had not been finalized by the National Council, so the medal was not awarded until Labor Day, September 2, 1912. Eldred was the first of three generations of Eagle Scouts; his son and grandson hold the rank as well. Since then, more than 1.7 million Scouts have earned the rank. In 1982, 13-year-old Alexander Holsinger, of Normal, Illinois, was recognized as the one-millionth Eagle Scout.
A total of 1,835,410 Scouts have earned Eagle Scout as of the end of 2005; out of 83,486,083 Scouts since 1911, this is about 2 percent of the Boy Scouting membership. In 2005, 49,895 Eagle Scout awards were presented, about 5 percent of the 2005 membership. There are four known Nobel Prize laureates who are Eagle Scouts: Dudley R. Herschbach, Peter Agre, Robert Coleman Richardson, and Frederick Reines. One President of the United States (and one Vice-President), President Ford, was an Eagle Scout.[1]

text: Propane Sticker Shock: What's Next? February 28, 2014 05:19 AM Tweet Mark Leitman, director of business and marketing for PERC, stands in front of the new EPA-certified 8.0-liter Origin irrigation engine by Buck's Engine Company. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email The Propane Education & Research Council shares advice to avoid getting stuck the next time high prices hit. The objective evidence was clear – propane suffered a nasty price hike this winter, with average prices in January topping $4/gallon or higher among much of the Midwest. Since then, the initial sticker shock has worn away to concerns about whether this shift in prices was due to short-term factors or signals a longer term shift toward higher prices. The good news – current price analysis shows prices have settled significantly since the price spikes earlier this winter, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration data: The situation has been blamed on multiple causes, including logistics/transportation issues, pipeline tie-ups, colder-than-normal winter weather, even an uptake in propane use last fall to dry corn, says Mark Leitman, director of business and marketing for the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). While many factors piled on to create the price spike, supply concerns was not one of them, Leitman says. "There isn't a shortage of propane — in fact, the exact opposite is true. The U.S. is actually producing more propane than ever before," he says. "We're already seeing wholesale prices down. We're going to put this behind us, especially as we move into the summer months." Leitman says that while the 2013-14 price anomaly was unusual, it was a natural fallout from market circumstances. Farmers can better prepare for future price increases by closely following potential market signals. For example, this fall, 300 million gallons of propane use was attributed to grain drying, the highest amount since 2009. And Leitman indicated the experts PERC contacted say the winter weather was 10% colder than normal, leading to 600 million more gallons of propane needed to get through January 2014 alone. "Communication is key so you will have a sense of the potential demand for fuel," he says. "Communicate early and often with your propane provider. Lock in prices just like you would any other essential input on the farm." So what do longer outlooks have in store? Propane prices tend to follow oil prices, so that's a natural place to begin looking. The EIA and AmeriGas have both indicated the most likely scenario for price trends from 2010 to 2020 will witness average annual price gains of about 5%, with another 1% annual average price gains projected through 2035. Leitman says that the long-term supply outlook is positive and prices are likely to stabilize, and now is the time to take advantage of certain purchase incentives while they are still available. In 2013, PERC distributed more than $627,000 to producers in 27 states through its Propane Farm Incentive Program. The program awards producers $400 per liter of engine displacement, up to $5,000, to purchase and demonstrate new propane engines. According to recent PERC research, past incentive program participants reported that propane irrigation engines reduced fuel consumption by as much as 36% per hour compared with similar diesel engines. Leitman also encourages farmers to explore other fuel-efficient technologies that might be eligible for purchase incentives, including grain dryers, ag heaters, weed control technology and additional irrigation engines. Visit agpropane.com for more information about PERC incentive programs and a list of eligible equipment. Back to news

Quote from: Safety Salamander on January 13, 2007, 12:34:39 PMDoes anyone know if Need Access should be filled out by the priority deadline of a particular school, or if the priority only applies to FAFSA?All financial papers should be done by the school's deadline if possible. For Mich this means sending your taxes in (if you're independent). Northwestern has some of their own paperwork, which I'd totally forgotten about until this moment. Those are the only two I can think of that have more than NeedAccess and FAFSA.
Does anyone know if Need Access should be filled out by the priority deadline of a particular school, or if the priority only applies to FAFSA?
Mich doesn't list a deadline, so I'd be safe and say 2/15, as that's the earliest I've seen any school ask for. They just say as soon as possible after 1/07. Their site is so helpful in general though, that everyone should check it out. http://www.law.umich.edu/prospectivestudents/admissions/finaid-1l.htmETA: Mich wants your actual tax returns, so that might make the deadline impossible. I plan on getting everything else in before 2/15 and my tax returns in as soon as possible after. Don't get my W2's until 1/31 so hopefully can still meet the deadline. Not sure if any other schools ask for this.Just checked Columbia site, to be safe. You just need FAFSA and Need Access for now. For your 2nd and 3rd year they ask for Tax returns. http://www.law.columbia.edu/current_student/financial_aid/how_to_applyI'm gonna check out a few other schools just to be safe. For some reason Fordham allows a TAP application but no other NY law schools do that I've seen, so that's peculiar.
So I'm a bit confused -- do I submit my financial aid stuff even if have yet to be accepted -- like at Michigan for instance? I've done FAFSA and Need Access (only for those schools I've been accepted at so far because I'm cheap)

The War of the Clones
Nov 12, 2009
I was expecting to see their name on it, but instead it's actually a label we could already see on the non-Foscam clones:
VIA networking as established in a earlier post by Josef)
The MAC address: the first part of it identifies the Ethernet controller manufacturer (00606E is for the Davicom).
So, this is official: I'll just stop trying to distinguish them visually at all for now on ! It appears to be a waste of time!
But why is it important to distinguish a Foscam from another clone anyway ?
Well, first of all, to avoid bricking your camera if it's from another manufacturer.
I initially didn't look for a particular 'brand' of ip camera, just the cheapest, and it occurred that I received a Foscam in the first place.
Over time, I found convenient to keep that one brand for the following reasons:
- Their customer support actually replies to questions, and takes suggestions into account (I could verify this with several improvements added in the newer firmwares)
- They provide improvements through firmware updates on a regular basis (3 updates since June 2009...yes, by the way, there's a new one, read on)
- It is simpler to keep all the cameras under the same firmware line.
All these are added values to such a cheap product and good reasons for me to stick with this brand.
So if you happen to have an IP camera that looks like a Foscam FI8908W, the hardware won't make the difference, but upgrade availability and customer support will.
On to the treat:
Foscam just sent me their latest firmware update 184.108.40.206 for FI8908W.
It is said to contains some minor updates and some much bug fixes. There is no new WebUI. It is still the same that came with 126.96.36.199
For some unclear reason, I bricked my older IP camera with this one but Foscam re-tested the same firmware file on a FI8908W and confirmed that it works. My second camera updated fine, so this update seems to be as safe as the previous ones.
It is still quite new (received yesterday), so I don't know yet what are the exact improvements, but I can already say it's not in the area of uPnP that remains as useless as before.
I do not see anything new on the interface which is logical since there the WebUI file hasn't changed.
As always, make sure that your ip camera is compatible with Foscam firmwares and in doubt, ask the reseller to confirm the origin of the device.
For instance, New Star and MayGion are legal manufacturers of clones with different software and should be contacted respectively for firmware updates and feature requests.

The upgrade went well and I didn't brick mine. ThanksReplyDelete
Thanks Tom, one or two more feedbacks like this and I'll probably give it a try on my spare one (which is also my last one!)
comments restored after blog maintenanceReplyDelete
i dont know why, but the colour rendering of mine is rubbish, trees apear whitey purple... :-\
Steve, The camera has IR LEDs to illuminate the scene at night. So it is probably because the image sensor does not have an IR filter and you are getting a lot of infra red reflected from the foliage.
I notice my (hot) orange lava lamp looks purple but things illuminated with compact fluorescent bulbs render normally.
If you don't use the IR illumination of the front mounted LEDs and want to fix the colour rendering you could put an IR cut filter either in front or behind the lens.
This is during the day, not night? maybe the sun causes the same affect?ReplyDelete
Not really using the IR no, i googled, it says to make one you can cut a floppy disk... but surely that will make everything dark??
did you try the different modes? especially the "Outdoor"?
Maybe it'll make the bushes a bit greener...
hum, my post gone missing...ReplyDelete
Yes thats what im using, 50\60 are just while..
i cut a floppy disk up. it did block most the white, but also really darkens the picture..
Yes, absolutely. The sun will cause the effect, lots of IR illuminating the scene there.ReplyDelete
Some fancy cameras have a motorised movable filter. It is put in place during the day for correct colour vision and at night it is removed for (black and white) IR illumination.
I think floppy disc materials (and exposed 35mm camera negatives) are IR pass filters, it will pass IR and block visible, the opposite of what you want.
This is more like what you want, http://www.sciencecenter.net/hutech/idas/uibar.htm however these are optically very flat for telescopic use and their price is (excuse the pun) astronomical. There must be a simple polymer (plastic) version but so far I haven't found one. Will let you know if I do.
Here you go: http://www.optics-online.com/irc.aspReplyDelete
thanks, however im in UK and i wouldnt know which one id want.. lol?ReplyDelete
If you unscrew the lens (try to minimise dust ingress) you will see that there should be room to glue the IRC30-10R to the back of the lens with a bit of loctite or similar glue. Just make sure not to get the glue in the light path. Put a very small quantity on the lens surround only.ReplyDelete
I don't have my callipers with me but it looked like the 10mm diameter filter will fit when I just measured with a ruler.
This is a reflective filer so it will probably have to be fitted with the reflective side facing forward (toward the light) or it wont work.

Its strange, because mine looks and has all the labels of a Foscam, however its not... the seller told me this.. oddReplyDelete
I recently purchased a IP WiFi Camera that is probably a FOSCAM FI8908W clone.
The embedded webserver for the camera looks like FOSCAM, except its menus are on the right instead of on the left. The embedded webpage has a "Server Push Mode (For FireFox, Google Browser)" link. The Device Firmware version is 126.96.36.199 and the Device Embeded Web UI Version is 184.108.40.206.
I disassembled the camera and the main board has "ES-IP607" printed on it. The "ES-IP607" board appears to be from a company named Eye Sight, i.e.:
We are very happy with camera's FTP feature, except in addition to the time interval (seconds), we want the camera to delete images older than a certain time period. (BTW, if I recall correctly, AXIS calls this feature an image "loop".)
To be more explicit, we want the Device Managment > FTP Service Settings to have a "Duration" field that is paired with the "Upload Interval" field.
This so we can look at the last day's or week's (or month's, etc) worth of images. Otherwise it appears the camera will upload images (without deleteing any) until it fills the FTP servers disk space.
Please let me know if anyone has FOSCAM firmware that supports an FTP image loop feature. Please also post any comments regarding Eys Sight and the ES-IP607W
Malcolm Beyer
there's no loop feature in any Foscam firmware. i'll ask them, they may consider it for a future version.
Hello Bubbah,ReplyDelete
I'm a french buyer of this cam, and congrats for your help for managing it !
I bought this camera on ebay, I guess it's a real one, the pack is red and white, I have the new label... and it works with the new firmware 184.108.40.206 (I already had it inside, but I try to upgrade it with yours and it works !) So perfect !!!
But... no !
1/ On the left menu there is no "multicam" option ! How is it possible ?
2/ On the very first days the send email option works, and as do not change nothing to my firewall or router, it does not work now ! I try everything !
3/ When I try to connect as visitor, the password never works so I cant access
4/ Where is it possible to hear some sound from the camera ? Add where is possible to push some sound through the camera ?
Hope you can help for theses troubles... I don't know yet if I will throw this cam over my window (that can cause somme people injury while I'm leaving on a 5th floor of a building in a major Paris avenue) or if I murder myself for not understanding the chinese way of programming ;-)
Many thanks !!!!
salut sebtheviking,ReplyDelete
- Multicam and Sound: these options are only possible from the ActiveX interface, so using IE. The recent Server Push mode for FF and such is limited. you can also stream the video and audio through a player like VLC using an url like this:
- settings not saved: I suspect the Server Push interface to not properly save some settings. It is still preferable to use the AX interface for this.
Thanks Bubba for your answer.ReplyDelete
In fact, AX interface is the best way to manage the cam, yes !
And I discover your other pages about this camera. May be you can make a single webpage with all the informations you have ! What a good job you have done.
I have a real trouble with mail transmission. Nothing happens (it works previously)... After 2mn when I try to send a test, the cam reset itself !!! I try many ports and smtp provider... nothing happens. An idea ?
May I suggest some modifications you can ask Foscam to add for a new firmware ?
* When the wifi connection is lost, the cam is not able to connect alone again. You have to reset it or to turn it off/on. Can they make a change to that ? For instance if the wifi connection is lot, after 30seconds the cam reset itself ?
* The date and time reset each time you turn off/on the camera or reset it ? Is it possible to have an option that the camera keep synchronise with internet to keep the good time/date ?
Thank you for your help in improving this very good camera
@ sebtheviking:ReplyDelete
I try to group the most common questions and answers on this page, but you can also use the
tags to group the posts related to ip cameras.
That problem with not being able to recover from a connection lost is the most annoying for me (Internet connection drops often in my area) and has been confirmed by several users. I'll remind Foscam about it (they've been told for some time already)
The only problem I have with date is that, since it's a chinese product, they don't take DST into account.
For the SMTP, it's strange, the usual problem is that people want to use SSL hosts like Gmail which is not supported by the camera. Maybe your flashing went bad somehow and a re-falshing or downgrade could help ? If you do I suggest doing this through the Ethernet cable. I did a official fw flash to my official Foscam camera via Wi-Fi (most of the time it works) but ended up bricking one of them.
How can i change the by ftp uploaded filename to a non changing name?ReplyDelete
there's a request pending by Foscam to add this feature, but for the moment it's not possible.

Hi Bubbah,ReplyDelete
I just purchased IPCAM02 from one of my work buddies. He brought it for me from Hong Kong but not quite sure what was the store called.
I've read almost every single word you wrote in these beautiful posts, but unfortunately still can not find out how to tell if I have original FOSCAM model.
Maybe this can give you few clues. Packaging looks exactly like this one:
Back side of the box looks identical except the image of the cam is different. So, front side has IPCAM02 image and the back side has image of the IPCAM01
Also, camera is black and it has a plug on the back for the external audio speaker. Not sure what's the firmware inside since it's still sitting in original box (I am at work, just got it from my friend)
Thank you in advance.
Once you plug it, you'll have more ways to verify if the camera is a Foscam or not. The box is similar indeed but that's also the one used by some copies.
- You can compare the screen shots of the user interface from this blog
- check the firmware version, should look like 184.108.40.206, 188.8.131.52, ... if any different, don't risk updating it.
- Finally you can email Foscam directly with the DeviceID, and they will tell you for sure.
If the camera appears to be a Foscam, always perform updates through the Ethernet wire, never do it from Wi-Fi. It's a cause of many bricking. I'm ashamed to say it happened to me once!
Have fun with that great toy

Can you tell by looking at these things if I have original FOSCAM or cloned version?

Hi again!ReplyDelete
I just updated it to 22.214.171.124 because I am little reserved when it comes to 220.127.116.11. I've heard quite few people complaining about constant disconnects with latest firmware.
Everything went perfectly fine. Camera works like a charm, so I guess I could say I have original FOSCAM IPCAM02.
I'd say it's a Foscam indeed. Your current version is good enough so you don't need to upgrade unless you need a "visitor log" and a an option to turn off the activity led. I've got the latest installed and no new problem really. Still I hope they'll publish one more update to sort some remaining bugs.
See the firmware history page for more details.

Hey Bubbah,ReplyDelete
Thank you for your respond. Funny thing is, I got Visitor log and the option to turn the activity led light (green one) off in case I want to. I actually keep it off at the moment, and I am 110% sure I have 220.127.116.11 and 18.104.22.168.bin (for the Web interface) installed.

Yes, and forgot to mention - for me the most important thing, even though I still have my Windows 7 machine here, now I can even access my camera settings and live video through my Mac. I was able to do that even before this update, because as you may already know, all new Macs are Intel based machines, so we can run Windows natively. I have Windows 7 installed on one of my partitions on my Mac, so if I wanted to do something in Windows, I was able just to boot up Windows and that's it. Plus, my PC with Windows 7 sitting right next to my Mac, so a lot of options.ReplyDelete
However, this ****.43 update gave me the possibility to access my camera (configure it, pan, tilt, everything) on my Mac, so there is no need any more to boot into Windows first.
Hi all
I'm looking for a "Reflective IR cut-off filter", proposed in an article on Nov.19.2009 here on this site, from Tom.
I really dont like the color from the Foscam at day time! As good the cam is, that really bothers me. I don't need the IR at night. So the filter would be the solution. If it works ...
Did someone try'd the filter? Does it work? How's the color with the filter?
Does anybuddy knows a address in Europe, to order one of the filters?
Thanks in advance
I want to upgrade, if is possible, my ipcam but I dont know who the manufacturer. I bought it on ebay in 2009. Here are some photos: http://picasaweb.google.it/ilbasettone/IPcam?feat=directlink
Someone knows?
This is NOT a Foscam, sorry. Maybe someone will identify the manufacturer from your pictures...
It is an fs613. I upgrade with EasyNP firmware.
I think I just bricked my camera!ReplyDelete
Uploaded the latest firmware but cant access the WEB UI now. However, I can still ping it etc. Any ideas?
install the latest version of ipcam tool and try re-flashing the web ui from it.
Thanks Bubbah - worked a treat!ReplyDelete
Hi Bubbah, I just received an IPCAM from Hong-Kong, with FW: 22.214.171.124 and Web UI: 220.127.116.11, but the McAddress is from other vendor: 00:0D:C5, do you think this can be updated?ReplyDelete
Finally, after reading many post, I decided to spend a little more money and buy my IP camera in a oficial dealer indicated on the website of Foscam: www.foscam.es.ReplyDelete
I think it's worth buying an official distributor and be quiet for a device that can last many many years
I've already changed 2 times the firmware and it works perfectly. His service responds perfectly.
By the way, the latest firmware has really solved a problem of reconnecting the WiFi. Wonderful this website so interesting information.

I purchased an IPCAM02 in South Africa. After many weeks of struggling to set it up I gave up and sent it back. The usual "Sorry no Refund becuase you scratched hte box" rubbish came my way. They sent it back apparently reconfigured. Saw one image via IE and then when I tired again using a LAN calbe Ie keeps saying it cannot open the web page. Is this trashed, a clone and potentially a brick or fiaxble. I changed no settings in the camera. Any advice......ReplyDelete

Hey Bubba,ReplyDelete
I recently bought 2 X Cameras from China, and they have different Firmwares and UI versions. They must be the "Neutral" cams you talked about.
Camera 1 (has PTZ speed settings):
Device Firmware Version 188.8.131.52
Device Embeded Web UI Version 188.8.131.52
Camera 2 (does not have PTZ speed settngs):
Device Firmware Version 22.214.171.124
Device Embeded Web UI Version 188.8.131.52
I assume Camera 2, because of it having an older version of the Web UI, doesn't have the PTZ configuration, I just don't get how they send identical cameras, with bizarre firmwares.
Can you tell me if it's safe to upgrade (or downgrade if I'm to believe the latest firmware is 11.x.x.xx)
Any ideas on which way I should go, or just leave them as is?
Thanks a lot,
Hi SAfrican,ReplyDelete
From the fw versions, you have 2 Foscam FI8918W, not FI8908W, so none of the firmwares from this site can be used. The good thing about this new model is that no obscure clone has been produced yet, so it's definitely from Foscam. I would advise that you contact Foscam directly (email@example.com), you'll be surprised that they actually reply quite quickly!
Give them the exact DeviceID and fw ver.for each cam (look in the Device Status page)and ask for a firmware update.
And last but not least: never update over Wifi, use the Ethernet cable!
Awesome update, thank you.
I'll contact Foscam and update you the results.
Thank you very much.
Hi Bubbah,ReplyDelete
Just received notice from Foscam that they are indeed Clones, and not originals. Argh and blurgh.
And just today the power supply of the one blew.
I'm amazed there can be clones so soon after the release of that new model! :-o
i have also these clones; from chinavasion.com ; nice performance so far; power supply is generic 5v, shouldnt be hard to replace. motion and video smooth; the site implies FW can be updated; i am not sure which one to use/try for fear of bricking the unit. May have to look inside at chip IDs. will updateReplyDelete
I had a lot of disconnections with the wired cable. After a few minutes, the camera wasn't pingable anymore. When i lowered my speed on my cisco switch to 10HD (instead of 100FD), i didn't encounter any disconnection anymore...ReplyDelete

Take a mom of 3, stir in 4 vegan cookbooks, add a rounded cup of staying at home, and mix with a hefty pinch of recipe testing!

New Vegan Cookies!
These are Walnut-Cranberry-Carob Clusters, and they turned out awesome on just the first test (oh, how I love that!! - some of my recipes, like the Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Fudgy Brownies - I swear I tested those about 15-20 times)! So, I just have to tinker a little and retest a couple more times to sure things up.
Over the next months, I will be posting more new recipes, just because I am heavy into recipe development right now. Hope that works for you guys! Of course, I will still post Vive and TEV recipes here and there!
By the way, any requests/suggestions for recipes you would like to see in the new book - now's the time to have your say... I will work on them if I can!

Wow, how exciting! Thanks for giving us a heads up on tomorrow's update! I hope nobody would have a problem with you posting more new recipes for the new book- hey, guys, we gotta keep that creative juice flowing!
Go, Dreena, go!
On with that new book, woo hoo!
(btw, these yummy looking clusters are a good start.)

Okay Dreena, these look too good! I can't wait to hear all about your new book.
In answer to your questions from the last post, yes, I do drain a little of the tomato juice from the can (I just pour it into into the soup pot or whatever I'm making-this keeps it from splashing and over-flowing). Then you either coarsely pulse or puree the tomatoes. Works great. Now, about the Vita Mix, it's another awesome tool too. It's amazing for blending ingredients, either by themselves or into a sauce. The motor is so strong that it emulsifies the ingredients in seconds (perfect for dips, puddings, purees, sauces or homemade mayo). Depending on the speed you use, you can also coarsely chop veggies too. So it doesn't only puree. You can also take whole nuts and either blend them into flour or turn them into a nut butter. It's a truly amazing machine. I also like the fact that since the beaker is 64 ounces, you can also blend up an entire batch of waffle batter quickly.
Thanks for asking about the demo. It went very well, and I met so many really nice people at the event.

These look wonderful Dreena! I love that you are heavy into recipe development right now. It was good having all those photos to match your current cookbooks, and I think you have a ton of people buying them too because of the visuals.
I am really looking forward to your new creations.
I am interested in non-oven (for now) type meals, as well as one-pot, easy, kinda quick meals (aren't we all?!?). I don't really have any other suggestions or recommendations because for me, you are the one that has the best suggestions and ideas!
I am looking forward to the new book as well.
Here is some advice. I have just purchased 4 cookbooks in the last 2 weeks, 2 of them yours, Vegan with a Vengence and Uncheese. Anyways I look over them non stop, im fixing to make your Apple Strudel, And I notice that Titles to dishes that are too long or are unfamiliar I just get impatient with. So I guess Simplicity for us who love to cook but who are just starting out. I appreciate you asking the opinions of your readers. It means alot.
- Julie said...
Those clusters look yummy! I love how they are colorful, too!
I can't wait for your next book-yours is the only cookbook I know that I can trust enough to make a recipe for others w/o trying it myself first.
I love easy meals.
Maybe some casserole-type dishes? classic mexican food-veganized? Chinese food?
Just some random ideas! :)
oh, and pictures in the book...lots of them!
- Maddy said...
I want the news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The news about your new book!!
- Mal said...
Yum! They look sooo good! I love cranberries.
Hi Dreena,
I am a new vegan (1 3/4 months) and LOVE your cookbooks! I wonder if you can help me with something. My eating has changed drasticly and I haven't lost a pound and I don't feel much better. I am confused. I expected that by eliminating all meats, cheeses, dairy, eggs, refined flour and sugar, processed foods and added grains, fruits and veggies i would have lost some weight and feeling better by now. Any suggestions???
Thanks. Patti
- Harmonia said...
WOW! Very nice!
Can't wait to hear the news, btw!
Ho, Hum, ideas...for the book...what about a Manicotti filled with something other than fake cheese? Maybe a tofu but something different would rock, too!
I would love another EZ Muffin Recipe...there is one in VLV I am going to attempt...but another would be twice as nice!
I have never made muffins before but will based on that recipe. I just bought a muffin tray (?) Is that what they are called? LOL. I'm domestically challenged most of the time.
Do you do any dehydrating? I would love a chapter or sub chapter on EZ Dehydrating tips! :)
Hello Dreena: I just got your Everyday Vegan cookbook because of your post about the the Coconut Raspberry Bars. I made them and they are absolutely yummy.
My request for your future cookbook is for delicious vegan appetizers. Little finger type foods that are great for parties or for week-end munching in front of the TV with friends.
- Mal said...
Patti, a common misconception many new vegans have is that they will lose weight by giving up meat, dairy, and eggs. The issue is not what you're eat, but how many calories you're consuming. You may just as well be eating as many calories as before you went vegan and not burning them off.
Just because you're a vegan, it doesn't mean you're healthy. I know many vegans/vegetarians who are more unhealthy than many omnivores.
- Dreena said...
Kai, you are like my personal cheerleader... lovin' it, thanks!
Ok, Julie, now you have me intrigued and considering the purchase! I have seen ads so many times and thought "how much would I really use it". But after hearing your 'testimonial', I can see how useful it would be, and a time-saver. Esp knowing how much cooking you do yourself... so my next question is - did you buy it online or at a retail store, is there somewhere to buy it and save a little money? Glad to hear your demo went well - I bet you're all "demo-ed out" at this point! They can really drain you, doing those demos! Thanks for all that info!!
Ah, Leslie, thanks - that's dearly sweet of you. I do plan (and already have) a number of soups, and also dips, and I am going to work on some stovetop one-pot meals too. Some casseroles too, but by the time the book is out you may have an oven by then! :)
Hi anonymous. Thanks for that feedback. That's the first I've heard about my titles being too long and seeming unfamiliar, but that may be because no one else wants to say so! I sometimes try to 'describe' the recipe a little in the title, to peak interest, and then give more info in the following descritpion, just because there are no photos in Vive, and just a few in TEV. But, here's the funny thing. After my manuscript goes to the publisher, sometimes they need to move a recipe in between two others for page layout. That means I have to come up with a new title or introductory word to fit it in alphabetically, which can be most challenging (and aggravating)! Anyhow, I appreciate your constructive criticism and will make note.
Wow, Julie, now you have me nervous! I barely try something on people before making it 4 or 5 times myself - thanks (and, oh the pressure)! jk!! Casserole dishes I'm definitely doing... any specifics with the Mexican/Asian dishes? Photos - oh dear, I imagine that will be a big discussion with my publisher, and I likely won't win (very costly for them), but I want them too, so I will try!
Madelyn, I can just hear you saying that!! :)
Thanks Mal!
Hi Patti, first, congrats on being vegan for almost 2 months - woo hooo to you! :) Second, it's hard for me to say without asking you more specific questions. Often people naturally lose some weight when they remove animal foods and refined foods from their diets. But, sometimes they continue to eat/drink things that aren't so healthy (diet drinks, a lot of processed soy foods, too many convenience vegan foods - cookies, energy bars, etc) Perhaps this isn't the case for you, but maybe it's something else. I would love to talk with you in more detail by e-mail - can you e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com ? I'm not a nutritionist, but I can certainly chat with you about what you are eating and maybe direct you to a few resources and give you some tips. Please get in touch by e-mail! :)
Hmmm, Harmonia, you've got my mind ticking on that one already - I like it, and will jot down a note for non-tofu filled manicotti! I get a bit tired of all the tofu filled everything too - I like some, but not all the time! Definitely doing lots of baked goods and cookies/desserts too - so, yes, you will get more muffins! Muffin tray/pan - you got it! Best to use the paper muffin liners instead of spraying or oiling the pan. No worries with them sticking with the liners, and easier clean-up! Dehydrating I haven't done, and probably won't be doing (sorry)... not this time around anyhow! :)
Hi Shelby! Thanks for the feedback on the Coconut Raspberry Squares... that's great!... heyyyy, have you been hearing me chat?!! You are on to something with your request there!
Thanks for your ideas, suggestions, constructive criticism, questions you guys - very helpful and interesting! :)
- Michelle said...
okay, i've been thinking about this for a while, and for now, i think i'd love to see some more nut free, or nut free options for the snack foods. this is a hard one for me, because i bake alot with nuts for the kids to eat at home, but as you know, we can't do any sort of nut product for school lunches/snacks. i can usually sub stuff like hemp seeds or sunflower seeds in, except for when the snack is totally nut oriented.. like your super yummy Totally Nutty Bars (which we make for home snacks all the time!). but soon my son will be in school full days (ack!!!!) and i'll have to send even more nut free snacks. but i still want them to have that protein punch too, so help?!?!
more hemp product recipes would be good, and coconut oil recipes too. of course, being super busy as we moms are, anything that's quick to make with minimal dishes to wash (by hand! i SO need a dishwasher!) is GREAT!
i love the whole grain, no refined sugars, healthy oils, etc approach. of course, that has to stay the same! pictures would be nice, but i'm also happy seeing the pictures online too. perhaps you should put your blog addy in the cookbook, so people know where to go for help if needed? i personally love "knowing" the chef LOL.
- EatPeacePlease said...
I like the idea of little finger foods too and apps and snacks, especially for dinner parties (which I've only had one but pulled it off well!).
Dreena, I DO HAVE an oven, I'm just terrified of it (3 months now). Ugh.
- Julie said...
Some of these dishes may not be able to be veganized, but...
easy stir frys
fried rice
maybe an asian soup?
oh! I can't wait for your announcement today! I hope it's that we all get a free copy of your new book and you as a personal chef for a week. ahaha. A girl can dream, right?
- Harmonia said...
Oh! YAY! I can't wait to see what you come up with for the no-tofu manicotti! YAY! Another thing I wondered about was more casseroles. Maybe Bulgur recipes too!
I'll drop hint every now and again! YAY! I love this!
Go Dreena, Go Dreena, go Dreena!
I added more to my list and when you have time wondered if you had any suggestions.
PS: One of the things on my (updated) list is shedded coconut...thanks to you!
- jess (of Get Sconed!) said...
Oh wow! Great flavor combo, Dreena!!
- bebegourmet said...
I know this is an old post, but I just made these last night with all purpose flour (3/4) instead of spelt flour. Is that why they were very crumbly (yet totally delicious)? I added more oil to get them to stick together.

I'm not a programmer so I cannot speak for those who code for a living, but here's a concept that could take some getting used to: pair programming. This is where two people share one desk and one computer, with one person being the "driver," controlling the keyboard and typing in code, and the other being the "navigator," monitoring design and scanning for bugs.
It all started with a book: "Extreme Programming Explained," written by Kent Beck, creator of the Extreme Programming and Test Driven Development software development methodologies. According to the book, software should be released quickly and improved along the way. This is best done more quickly, according to Beck, by double-teaming projects.
Beck practiced pair programming at a software company in the '80s with Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki. Cunningham asked Beck to check for bugs in a software application he was working on. As time went on, the two would pair up to knock out assignments so they could move on to their own pet projects.
The practice is spreading. Pivotal Labs, a software-development shop that was bought by EMC Corp. in March, has its 175 engineers pair all day, every day. Facebook has begun using the practice, as has the San Francisco-based company Square, which says about 15 percent of its engineers pair full-time.
And there are different versions of paired partnering as well: Playing the field, or changing partners daily, is called "promiscuous pairing." Hopping back and forth between partners is called ping-pong pairing. Even those who work remotely can take part: Remote pairing lets programmers share the same screen via the Internet.
Not everyone is onboard with the concept. Australia-based software company Atlassian created a mock instructional video called "Spooning" that hilariously mocks the practice.
So what do you developers say? Is this something you would be comfortable with?

Seen any walnuts in your medicine cabinet lately? According to the Food and Drug Administration, that is precisely where you should find them.
Because Diamond Foods made truthful claims about the health benefits of consuming walnuts that the FDA didn't approve, it sent the company a letter declaring, "Your walnut products are drugs" — and "new drugs" at that — and, therefore, "they may not legally be marketed … in the United States without an approved new drug application." The agency even threatened Diamond with "seizure" if it failed to comply.
Diamond's transgression was to make "financial investments to educate the public and supply them with walnuts," as William Faloon of Life Extension magazine put it. On its website and packaging, the company stated that the omega-3 fatty acids found in walnuts have been shown to have certain health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and some types of cancer.
These claims, Faloon notes, are well supported by scientific research: "Life Extension has published 57 articles that describe the health benefits of walnuts"; and "The US National Library of Medicine database contains no fewer than 35 peer-reviewed published papers supporting a claim that ingesting walnuts improves vascular health and may reduce heart attack risk."

He had seed corn in his what?Tweet
Two weeks ago, the news rippled across the commodity market that China had rejected a shipload of US corn because it contained traces of genetic material from Syngenta's Viptera seed technology. That genetic material has not been approved in China and was targeted a couple years ago by US grain conglomerates Cargill and Bunge as unacceptable because of that reason. Farmers have been raising corn throughout the Cornbelt with the Viptera genetics, and since it has been approved in US commercial channels, it has undoubtedly also made its way to China before this December.
Then suddenly several more shiploads of US corn were rejected by China for the same reason. Then reports came from the Chinese ports that containers of distillers dried grains, produced in the refining of ethanol, and were also being quarantined because they might contain the genetic material.
At first it sounded like Chinese port officials were just trying out some new genetic testing technology. Another theory was offered that shiploads of corn were backed up in Chinese ports due to delays in unloading and the port officials used their "unapproved" stamp just to clear out their harbors.
Neither was correct. But now we know what is going on.
Enter the world of a Tom Clancy novel. Crawling through a Cornbelt field, wet with dew on a foggy morning, several men whispering Mandarin were reaching up to pull ears of corn from stalks. The ears were quietly nestled in a cloth bag and would never see daylight for several weeks.
Suddenly, a crew of Americans, some with pistols drawn, others wearing lab coats, were shouting in English at the Chinese nationals to drop their bags, put their hands behind their back, and bend over the hoods of a fleet of pick-up trucks. The jig was up, as a 1940's radio detective might announce.
In a pair of "you've got to be kidding" incidents, US federal authorities have taken Chinese men into custody in the past two weeks for attempting to steal seed corn technology. In Kansas, the site of the interrupted scheme was a US corn breeding company where seed was taken by a Chinese-born geneticist who was working in conjunction with another Chinese national employed at a federal research facility in Arkansas. Prosecutors allege the seed was destined to pass to a Chinese trade delegation visiting the US.
The Kansas biopharmaceutical company at Junction City was not publicly identified. However, in a parallel incident, DuPont Pioneer and Monsanto were the targets of six Chinese nationals working to obtain genetic material for Kings Nower Seed, a US-subsidiary of a Beijing-based genetics company.
Unbeknownst to them, the FBI had placed GPS tracking devices on their cars and trailed them as they stopped at Iowa and Missouri cornfields to pick ears and at seed dealers to get bags of seed. The six, some of whom are not yet in custody, had been under the surveillance of customs agents. One was detained at Miami on his way back to China, and was caught with seed corn in his luggage.
Seed corn in his luggage. Not military secrets. Not fissionable nuclear material. Seed corn.
These foiled plots illustrate the value of the seed that is planted across the Cornbelt, particularly in a hungry world. And it answers why the Chinese have been rejecting shiploads of corn, which has been in retaliation for the discovery of the agricultural espionage. The impact last week pushed the corn market down about 10 cents. The victim of that was not Pioneer, nor Monsanto, but only the farmer who is reading this and now knows why the value of his corn eroded.
And farm policy critics wonder why agriculture needs a safety net.

Kevin Cheveldayoff signed a 2-year extension with the Winnipeg Jets today, and reaction was quite mixed on twitter. I have a few thoughts of my own on the subject I would like to bring forward, focusing on: the timing; where the pressure now shifts to; how this could change his approach; and a few of the nice things said today.
Why Now?
I think I speak for almost everyone when I say that the timing of this is a little weird. No, not that it was announced in the middle of training camp just over two weeks from opening night, but because of the state of the team. Kevin Cheveldayoff has been in control of the Winnipeg Jets for just over two years now. Admittedly, they have been two very peculiar years, but he has had two years nonetheless, and little has truly changed in this team's overall standing.
Yet, despite there still being three seasons remaining on his contract, TNSE has decided that his moves to this point have been sufficient enough to warrant an extension? Yes, he has locked up the core. Yes, he has apparently solved the issue with the second line (the jury is still out on that one), and yes, the overall depth throughout the franchise has improved via the draft. But no, he hasn't made any truly "large scale" moves. No, he did not make any changes to a group of core players that were put together by a DIFFERENT GM and have yet to show any true success, and no, he has not yet address the mistake of Ondrej Pavelec. Therefore, I do not see where he has truly earned himself more time with the team…yet. I would have found it much more suitable for the team to wait and see exactly how these decisions he has made pan out. Wait to see AT LEAST how this season goes. Wait to see if the team Chevy has locked up long term with can at minimum make the playoffs. Generally you see people rewarded after they have success, not the other way around.
Coach Noel: The Fall Guy
One thing was made very clear today. The Winnipeg Jets believe in Kevin "Harvey Dent" Cheveldayoff. That means should things go wrong, someone else is going to pay the price. Who will that someone else be, you ask?
Claude Noel.
If True North is this confident in their General Manager and the decisions he is making, they must feel confident in the team he has decided to supply the coach with. That means that any failures, slides, or travesties that occur will lead to a finger being pointed directly at the head coach. Pressure's on Claude. Can you handle it?
The Vote of Confidence
Continuing on the point that Mark Chipman & Co. clearly have faith in Kevin Cheveldayoff's decision making, it may lead to him feeling a wee bit more comfortable. With quotes like, "I hold Chevy in high regard", "One of the biggest parts (of the plan) is having the team in the hands of Chevy", and "I cannot tell you how much confidence I have in his abilities", it's not hard to believe that job security is not an issue with the Jets GM. Could this mean bigger, bolder moves in the future?
Without the fear of immediate repercussion for his actions, Chevy could be more willing to take a chance, or correct a mistake he has made without having to pay for it with his job. Although Chipman made comment implying Chevy has yet to make a mistake, I find it hard to believe that the entire organization is perfectly okay with Pavelec as the starting goaltender. The comfort could now be there to make the decision to buy him out if a suitable replacement comes along. Or even fire the head coach that Chipman has a relationship with. It's something we haven't seen from this management group before, but if things don't improve those big changes may come.
Other Nice Tidbits
There were a few other quotes and discussion points today that I just want to point out and comment on as well.
1- It was nice to hear from Chipman today. The True North "Cone of Silence" tends to be a powerful repellent when it wants to be, but today Mark opened up a little bit and explained the direction of this team and the thought processes they use. Almost like a solar eclipse, it was fascinating to see.
2- If Andrew Ladd was speaking the truth, it seems like that locker room really loves Kevin Cheveldayoff. He commented today that Chevy himself (just being the human he is) was a factor in a lot of the free agents wanting to stay here. One thing that was talked about a LOT in regards to this team coming back was building a culture that players like to stick around. It's a main factor that will play into the long-term success, and it seems to be working. (Burmi aside that is)
3- Speaking of Burmi, I just want to make it clear again that he DID NOT LEAVE BECAUSE OF THE CITY. For some reason this topic seems to come up now and again and it annoys me. He didn't leave because he hated Winnipeg. He left because he was feuding with the head coach, wanted to play at home, and got offered more money than he would have in the NHL. You would do it too.
To wrap up: Kevin Cheveldayoff may not have earned his extension yet, but for Jets fans everywhere, I hope he earns it soon.

Phillies Offense on Locke-Down
On Monday night, Phillies rookie Jonathan Pettibone made his major league debut against the Pirates. He went 5.1 innings and allowed only 2 runs after a fairly shaky start and some good defense. The Phillies offense put up 3 runs for the rookie, but two of those runs came from a wild pitch and a hit batter.
The lack of offense took another turn for the worse on Tuesday night. Cole Hamels pitched a great game, allowing 2 runs over 8 innings. But his teammates did nothing to help him. As a result of the 0-2 loss, Hamels still does not have a win this year. This is exactly what happened to Cliff Lee last year, who ended the season with only 6 wins, despite his 3.16 ERA.
There were only 4 hits for the Phillies last night. Pirates pitcher Jeff Locke had them all tied up in knots that they could not untangle. Sadly, it was a total Locke-Down.
For example, in the 4th inning, John Mayberry Jr. led off with a triple. Still, the Phillies managed to squander that opportunity as well. Not scoring a runner from 3rd with no outs to start the inning is ridiculous. But that has been the story of the Phillies offense for a number of years now, and it does not appear it will change anytime soon.
These guys get anxious at the plate, swing at bad pitches and watch good ones fly past them. There is no discipline at all.
Think about that 4th inning again. With no outs, Mayberry stood at 3rd and Domonic Brown on first after being hit by a pitch. Locke was getting wild and losing his command. So the only thing Ben Revere needed to do was not pop out or hit the ball the 3rd base side of the infield. Even a double play would have scored the run with Mayberry going on contact. So what does Revere do? He swings at the first pitch and hits the ball to third; Mayberry is thrown out at the plate.
This is not Mayberry's fault either…Ryne Sandberg told him to go on contact which was verified by manager Charlie Manual after the game. As for Revere, remember he is only 24 years old. Clearly, he still has a lot to learn. But the same excuse cannot be made for the rest of the team. This is a very experienced ball club. Yet they continue to approach at-bats like frightened rookies.
When the only relief of the night is seeing bench player Laynce Nix step to the plate, something is very, very wrong.
The Phillies hired not one, but two new hitting coaches this season in an effort to improve the offense. And even though both Steve Henderson and Wally Joyner have gotten rave reviews from the players, nothing changes once a guy steps to the plate. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Apparently not.
Pretty soon they will have a big offensive day again and the critics will be silent until the next several games when the bats go back to sleep again. This has become a pattern. They give us a small bit of hope, and just like that, the hope is squashed the very next day. I am seriously beginning to wonder if this is fixable.
In the meantime, all we can do is wait and see. Roy Halladay will pitch tonight; game time is 7:05pm.

I feel a bit like the turnips pictured above, sticky and slighly singed. It's about eleven hundred degrees out there. And a bit more in here. Last night I tried to make ice cream and it wouldn't freeze. Someone tell me about the housing situation on the North Pole, please?
If it weren't so infernally hot, I'd tell you about these glazed turnips, or turnip to be precise as I was feeding only myself on Saturday. But what can you do? Have some shots from Kauppatori (Salutorget) instead.
One end of the market is a tourist trap full of horrible T-shirts and reindeer hats (which reminds me to cook Rudolf soon, I think we have some in the freezer), and there's a food court where fried vendace (yum) battles paella (um), but the part closest to Esplanadi is a genuinely fabulous market with wonderful if fairly pricey produce.
None of this has anything to do with glazed turnips, except that I actually bought them there. Also chanterelles, but more on those later.
Glazed Turnips
1 medium turnip, peeled and julienned
1 tsp butter
pinch each of salt and pepper
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Melt the butter in a pan and add the turnip and just a splosh (like a tablespoon, tops) of water. Stir fry for just a minute or so until the turnip softens a bit. Add the sugar and a bit each of salt and pepper and stir until the sugar melts and goes all sticky. Mix in the chopped parsley before serving.
This boatful of potatoes (at least I'm assuming it started out full of potatoes, but I'm not a very early riser) didn't have anything to do with turnips either:
