Darren Miller of Washburn was recently honored by the American Legion Post 90 and Veterans of Foreign Wars post 690 for his dedication to serving veterans through opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
The award reads: This commendation is presented in recognition for your outstanding service to veterans through outdoor sporting activities. Your commitment to veterans reflects the highest standards and traditions of veteran fraternal organizations and those who serve and support their purpose, mission and goals.
The award is signed by the American Legion Post 90 Commander Robert Kreinbring and VFW Post 690 Commander Jason Janecek.
In an effort to connect donated bear tags to Purple Heart recipients, Miller was invited to present his program to the Chequamegon Veterans organization last fall. Realizing the many benefits Miller's efforts are to veterans and injured veterans, a motion was made to donate funds to Miller and recognize his committment to veterans through the organization's award process.
In addition to participating as a guide for area veteran fishing outings, Miller started a hunting program that legally transfers donated black bear tags to Purple Heart recipients and then guides them on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to harvest a northern Wisconsin black bear. The program has enjoyed great success; Darren said he has made some amazing friendships through these hunting adventures.

Update: Obama on Friday issued an executive order declaring Christmas Eve 2012 a federal holiday. See our story here.
On the heels of an online petition to give federal employees Christmas Eve off passing the threshold to require an official White House response, a new petition has surfaced, asking for the exact opposite.
A federal worker from New York has created a petition on the White House's We the People website, asking President Obama to "permit us to use our annual leave on Dec. 24th to be with family and friends, being thankful to have a job."
"We do not need to be given another holiday when so many people are looking for work," the employee wrote.
The Obama administration has not yet issued a response to the original petition to have the day off -- which would give the federal workforce a four-day weekend, as Christmas falls on a Tuesday.
As of this posting, the new petition had just 26 signatures, well shy of the 25,000 needed to trigger a White House response.

So you think you've got it bad? Here's a story that will put things in perspective for you, no matter how grim your job prospects or how invisible your shrinking retirement fund.
The other day, at their invitation, I met Kerry Himmel, an unemployed truck driver, and her 16-year-old daughter, Destiny, at a McDonald's on Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley in southern California.
But they weren't there to eat. That's where they live.
For about two years, mother and daughter have been anchored in that McDonald's parking lot, living in their Ford Explorer and avoiding eviction by moving now and then to a nearby Ralphs parking lot. They favor the McDonald's, though, because there's a bathroom with an outdoor entrance.
As if that weren't miserable enough, the situation got much, much worse in April.
"Whenever I stood up, things started getting blurry for a second," said Destiny.
"You'd have to brace yourself," her mother added.
Then Destiny was hit with headaches that went from bad to excruciating. Late one night, Kerry rushed her daughter to the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center emergency room in Woodland Hills, California, where the diagnosis was devastating.
"Destiny has high-risk acute leukemia," says Dr. Susan Storch, an oncologist and hematologist who told me there's about a 70% survival rate with an intense treatment approach that takes about 2 1/2 years.
Storch knew the Himmels were homeless, so she kept Destiny in the hospital for several weeks even though the teen wasn't a Kaiser member. Patients need rest and comfort in an environment as germ-free as possible, Storch said, and the back of an SUV doesn't fit that bill. The doctor tried to set up housing for them, but Kerry Himmel turned it down -- for reasons I'll explain later.
After her initial stint at Kaiser, Destiny started outpatient treatment at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, where Medi-Cal covers her several visits a week -- for chemotherapy, spinal taps, pain therapy and other services. Then it's back to the McDonald's and the cramped quarters of the Explorer. Kerry sleeps in the driver's seat, and Destiny, who is often exhausted and in pain, stretches out in the cargo area.
The nights lately have been frigid, but she says the body heat from her two dogs -- Rugrat and Gidget -- helps keep her warm, even though "they steal my blankets."
On the day I went to meet them, Kerry helped her daughter out of the truck and handed her a cane, and Destiny took slow, careful steps toward the restaurant so we could sit and talk. She's tall, with pale blue eyes and a sweet face that's swollen from steroid treatment.
Living in the truck, they said, is something they're used to. Kerry and Destiny have spent most of the last 10 years living in vehicles, beginning back in their home state of Michigan.
"It's the economy," said Kerry, but there's a little more to it than that.
Her family was always pretty dysfunctional, said Kerry, so she couldn't rely on help from relatives, many of whom had their own problems. And she had nothing much better to say about Destiny's father, who has long been out of the picture.
Kerry and Destiny moved west figuring job prospects would be better, and if they remained homeless, at least it would be warmer here.
I checked with Dallas Berry, the Himmels' pastor back in Michigan, and he said the Himmels had kept their homelessness a secret even from him while living in Michigan. He learned about it after they left, and also learned that Destiny "was very embarrassed" by it.
"I'm praying for them," Berry said.
When they moved to California, Kerry Himmel got a truck driving job that lasted several months but didn't get them out of their hole. She quit to look for something better, and almost immediately, Destiny got sick.
Now, Kerry has no time to job hunt because she's too busy taking care of Destiny. She's way behind on the car payments, has credit card companies hounding her, and gets by on roughly $500 a month in food stamps and government aid. She and Destiny collect El Pollo Loco coupons, which cut the price of a salad or burrito to 63 cents. At night, they read or listen to the radio, and Destiny studies as part of a home-school program.
Kerry said her calls to social service and church groups in search of housing have led to one dead end after another, but they have made at least one good friend.
"They're such wonderful people," said Cathy Johnson, who manages Personal Storage in North Hollywood, where the Himmels keep some of their belongings. Johnson lets the Himmels use the bathroom and microwave in her office, and she recently faxed out pleas for help on behalf of the Himmels, including one to the L.A. Times.
"I'm not the type to ask anyone for anything," Kerry said over coffee in the McDonald's.
But she's desperate, she admitted, and feeling torn up over her inability to provide basic human needs to a daughter fighting cancer. As she spoke, fingering two medallions she wears to bring prosperity and health, her daughter began sobbing.
"This is embarrassing," she said.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about," her mother said.
"I don't want people to look down on me or think they have to pity me," said Destiny, who wore a knit cap. The chemo has made her temporarily bald.
Kerry confessed that at Childrens Hospital, she fibbed about her circumstances, telling a social worker that she and Destiny are staying with friends. She feared that if she said they were living in the truck, Destiny would be taken from her and placed in foster care.
It wasn't my place to tell them how to run their lives. But as I see it, a kid fighting cancer shouldn't be living in a truck. So I suggested, diplomatically, that maybe foster care would be for the best, at least temporarily.
"No, I can't go through that," Destiny sobbed. "She's all I have, and I won't make it. . . . She's a great mom and my best friend."
Once this column is printed, I told Kerry, Childrens Hospital is going to know they're homeless. That's true, she said. But she hoped someone would see the story and offer temporary housing, and then there'd be no issue for the hospital.
"We're really good people, but I don't want to live like this anymore," Kerry said, her voice breaking. "I've got the best kid in the world, and the most important thing is that we're together."
On Thursday afternoon, Destiny had a pain therapy session at Childrens Hospital. While I was there with her and Kerry, I got an unrelated e-mail from Andy Bales, who runs the Union Rescue Mission and Hope Gardens, a transitional residence for formerly homeless women and children located in the northern foothills of the San Fernando Valley.
I e-mailed him back about the Himmels and asked if he might have a spare room. Bales checked and said he can accommodate the Himmels, at least temporarily. Kerry Himmel told me she'd take a look at Hope Gardens this week, and at any other offers that come her way.
I would certainly hope so. On Saturday, I was contacted by John Horn, an L.A. Family Housing official who read the early edition of this column and wanted me to know the Himmels had been offered housing in the spring and turned it down.
Kerry Himmel admitted that was true but said Destiny was too shaky to handle the stairs at the apartment they were offered. Kerry was also concerned about subjecting her sick daughter to germs in a public place with transitional residents, and she doubted she could commit to meetings with a case manager and classes on subjects such as money management while she was shuttling Destiny to frequent medical appointments.
I understand, but would any of those inconveniences have been as bad as living in an SUV and using a fast-food restaurant bathroom? In my experience, people who've been homeless a long time lose perspective and a degree of rational judgment. It's not at all uncommon, said Horn, who explained that after years on the streets, people become focused on daily survival and are so accustomed to their routines that they fear any radical change.
Let's not forget, though, that this case involves a teen with leukemia. Destiny's current doctor, John Quinn, told me his young patient has been through the hardest part of the treatment and her cancer is in remission.
But he also said that she needs to be in a safe, warm home as she continues her fight, with chemo treatments expected to continue through July of 2010.
For Destiny's sake, the Himmels need to get out of that truck, or at least Destiny does. The sooner the better.

We've been in Philadelphia almost 3 weeks now, and what a crazy 3 weeks that's been. Experiencing extreme emotions like we have done in that time really takes its toll on you.
Oscar is continuing to improve, we were moved out of ICU on Wednesday night down to the Cardiac Care Unit. It almost feels like one foot out the door of this hospital! The plans for a medical transfer (air ambulance) back to Belfast are being put in place, and we hope that with Oscar's slow, steady improvement, the final "yes" from doctors here is not too far away. However, as much as we are looking forward to getting home, and especially longing to see little Izzie, the "goodbye" to CHOP and Philadelphia is definitely a painful one. The realisation that the door is closing on the hopes and dreams we came here to fulfill, that is hard.
We were probably naive, we truly believed we could "fix" Oscar here, and give him the "normal" life he so truly deserves. We were told before we came that immunotherapy mightn't be a reality for Oscar - we never really believed that. This is the place that would make him better, take his pain away. Take our pain away.
It goes without saying, the elation we felt when Oscar recovered from being critically ill, that really can't be put into words. But now new emotions are surfacing. We feel out of control - we felt in control when we worked hard to raise that money and buy him his life back, we could do that. We feel lost - we don't know where this is going, more than ever we don't know what the future holds. And we feel defeated - we were cheated of our chance to make Oscar better, once and for all. These statements may not be factually true, but they are absolutely what we feel.
Please don't think I'm digging (once again!) for complements, messages of support, inspiring statements. I'm definitely not. And I doubt they would work right now anyway. But this blog is a TRUE diary of Oscar's journey, and I feel compelled to make a record of our (almost) despair at this time.
The other thing I must note is our never-ending quest to figure out what Oscar needs, and make it happen for him. That has not changed. Fundraising will continue, full steam ahead, to try to ensure money is not the issue which denies him a shot at life. We are back to the drawing board, and very much looking forward to fully assessing our new position with Oscar's fantastic and very supportive consultant back home. We need some time to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down, and prepare for the next step. Whatever it may be. As always, in the rare times that we feel deflated, we look to Oscar for courage to keep fighting. He gives it to us in abundance! I looked at our "TeamOscar" mailbox yesterday, and couldn't believe the fundraising efforts of many of you are still flooding in. That inspires our fight more than any words of support ever could.
Final word to Miss Izzie this time - don't ever think you were left behind in all of this craziness, you weren't, you aren't. We miss you so much, and can't wait to kiss your little face and feel your big hugs again! Oscar tells us he misses you EVERY DAY, and that he is sad that you are not here, sometimes crying. I've said before that nights where the 4 of us are under the same roof are the happiest times, can't wait to have them again Xx

Shortly after moving into our previous home, I found a great deal on a wall clock. It was $6, at the grocery store, and served us well for many years. Every now and then, we would switch out the battery when it stopped keeping accurate time, and it would continue to run like a champion. A few times, it got knocked off the wall and after about 5 years, it was being held together with masking tape. When we moved, it took another hit and the time-keeping mechanism pooped out. So I went to Hobby Lobby in search of a new part, but the new part cost more than the clock did in the first place, so I decided to put my old wall clock to rest. You can sort of see it in the top left of this picture:
Since then, I have been keeping an eye out for a decent deal on a new clock. The other day while I was at Hobby Lobby {hmmm…I'm seeing a trend}, I was making my way to the paint isle when I glanced down. I was inadvertently in the clock isle and there was a really great clock with the most beautiful chippy rusty turquoise finish I had ever seen. In fact, a few months earlier at the Parade of Homes, I had admired one just like it.
But the tag said $199.00{!} and it was broken. I started to walk away and then thought maybe I would just check to see if they would give me a deal on it. I took it up front and the girl told me that usually the highest amount they could give off of an item was 60%, but she would check with a manager to see what they could do.
I went and got my paint and then went back to the front register where the girl told me that the manager said that in this case, they could do 80% off. For a minute I thought she had said 18% off, because no way were they going to do 80%.
But they did!
Naturally, I could not leave the 80% off clock at the store, so I bought it.
As I was checking out, the girl looked at me skeptically and said, "So, how are you going to fix this?"
I said that I wasn't going to fix it, that I would probably just remove the broken piece, and then left the store—kind of quickly so they wouldn't change their minds.
When I got it home, I thought that the best way to remove the broken piece would be to unscrew it, but it was filled with plaster, so
because I am lazy and didn't want to chip it out I started to look for another way to remove it, and lo and behold, there was a nut underneath it in the back that I easily unscrewed in about 7 seconds.
After the broken piece was off, I decided that I liked it even better than if it would have had been unbroken.
This post was not sponsored by Hobby Lobby, I just love a great deal!

My younger daughter's class is learning the names of the provinces and their capitals. The class has to take their Canadian geography test until they get it all right. My daughter practiced at home over and over – and she really knows her stuff.
But she will have to take the test a third time, just like the rest of her class. Yes, she knows it all, but she keeps making little errors. Like writing "WinniPeg". Like placing Iqaluit on the mainland by accident. Little stuff like that.
Little stuff that proofreading would fix.
Why is this so important?
Well, I was reviewing a contract recently, full of the usual legalese, when I came across something most non-usual:
"Where it shall appear to the partners that this Agreement, or any terms and conditions contained in this agreement, are in any way ineffective or deficient, or not expressed as originally intended, and any alteration or addition shall be deemed necessary, the partners will enter into, execute, and perform all murder be an instrument as their counsel shall advise. Any addition, alteration, or modification shall be in writing, and no oral agreement shall be effective."
Did you miss it? OK, here is the abbreviated version:
Yadda yadda yadda yad yadda yadda yad. Yadda yadda yadda yadda yad yadda yad yadda. Yadda yadda yadda the partners will enter into, execute, and perform all murder yadda yad yadda. Yadda yadda yadda yadda yad yadda.
OK, clearly something went wrong in that paragraph. In fact, my best guess is that two things went wrong. First, it looks like a bad cut and paste left out a few words, because the end of that sentence doesn't quite fit onto the rest of the sentence. Like trying to sort through the plane crash debris and placing Julia Roberts head on Hulk Hogan's body (Yes, as a matter of fact I did have a troublesome sleep last night – why do you ask?). Second, at the junction between the two parts of the sentence, we discover a murder – probably a spell-check anomaly as a result of the bad cut-and-paste, but still leaving us with some important questions unanswered:
- Exactly who are these partners supposed to murder?
- Does it matter what weapon is used?
- Will the murderer be indemnified by anybody (contracts are always full of people indemnifying each other for their sins, right?)
READ ALSO: How a typo turned a celebrity chef into a cannibal
I love a good murder mystery as much as the next guy. And contracts are common in murder mysteries. But a murder mystery is pretty rare in a contract.
So, for the benefit of my dear daughter, you see that proofreading can save a person from more than just being caught in an endless loop geography test. It could even save you from murder.

10.02.12: The CCRI Knights' men's soccer team traveled to Dean College in Franklin, MA to play the No. 17 ranked (NJCAA DI poll) Bulldogs of Dean College in a Region XXI conference showdown. The Knights defeated the Bulldogs 1-0. With the victory the Knights improve to 4-5 on the season and 4-1 in Region XXI play and 1-1 in its division.
The Knights were ready to make up for the poor game they had over the weekend. Head Coach Gabe Toro moved the lineup around again because of key injuries on the team. Co-Captain Chris Munoz (Talcahuano, Chile) and Kyle Ferreira (Westerly, RI) anchored the back line. Ian Duncan (Barrington, RI) and Marvin Gutierrez (Central Falls, RI) covered them on the wings. The injury bug struck again for the Knights just 15 minutes into the game as Chris Munoz went down with a nagging injury that continues to bother him. Cortez was replaced by Preston Kar (Providence, RI). The defensive front did an excellent job for 90 minutes.
Goalkeeper Derek Soares (Pawtucket, RI) got the start in net and made some clutch saves to keep the Knights pushing forward. Coach Toro commented "The coaching staff and I worked with the team on keeping the ball and using each other to move up the pitch. The players were able to have more combination play making each other more dangerous and elusive. By keeping the ball we were able to design more effective plays and play more with a purpose." The game was hard fought with neither team budging until about 12 minutes left in the game when the Knights were able to open up the offense. Servi Barrientos (Providence, RI) played a curling ball into the six yard box and Freddie Korsah (Accra, Ghana) dove onto the wet ground to head the ball past the Dean goalkeeper giving the Knights a 1-0 lead, a lead they would not relinquish. Korsah had two more chances to score in the next five minutes but was unlucky. Korsah is normally a defender but the coaching staff has converted him into a forward due to defensive depth of the Knights and to capitalize on his athleticism. He has certainly stepped-up to his new role. After the exciting go-ahead goal Korsah and his teammates enjoyed the celebration on the sideline as he was tackled by all the entire Knights team. The Knights went on to win the game 1-0.
Coach Toro commented "I was very happy with the team's mind set this game. The celebration of the goal was perfect because it included all the players, something I said to them at the start of the game: 'we were going to need everyone to win.' All the players on the team contributed to this win, starting on the practice pitch and executing what they rehearsed before the game. All players continue to push each other during practices resulting in individual improvement, which ultimately leads to overall team performance."
The Knights look to continue this momentum into their next game when they will travel to Springfield, Ma on Thursday to play the Rams of Springfield Technical Community College at 4:00pm.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls 17,760 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A pair of MIT field hockey players were named to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) All-Conference teams on Tuesday. Freshman Anna Teruya garnered a first team selection while Alex Wright was named to the second team. This marks the sixth time in seven years that at least two Engineers have earned All-Conference honors.
Starting all 19 games this season for the Engineers, Teruya ranked second on the team in goals (nine) and points (21). Both of those totals ranked her third among NEWMAC freshmen. Teruya is the first MIT freshman named to the All-Conference team since Deanna Lentz in 2002.
An excellent distributor with the ball, Wright consistently marked the opposition's center forward, helping to anchor the MIT defense throughout the season while starting 18 games at the midfield and defensive positions.

It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said 'Bother!' and 'O blow!' and also 'Hang spring-cleaning!' and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat.
------------ Kenneth Grahame
Monday, February 27, 2012
When I recognize that we have a contingent of Christians, I generally forgo my three bows, though I love them: love the physical acknowledgment, love my forehead kissing the cool clean wood of the floor, love the heart's-ease of saying, with all my body, "there is something more important than the petty parade of wishes and fears, and I remember that now" – forehead to the floor – "and now" – forehead to the floor – "and now" – forehead to the floor. But the Christians have no idea what I'm doing, that my reverence is not for the golden trinkets on the shrine, nor even for the Buddha, but for what the Buddha in turn represents: the possibility of being awake. So I would have done without, but I was late and careless. Lama Michael was already speaking, and I was anxious to get to the cushion. I did my three bows and settled down to listen. On my left, a young woman I didn't know, gingerly holding a printed liturgy, stiffened.
"Oh, shoot," I thought. "A Christian, and now I've not only done bows right beside her: I've cut off her clear escape to the door."
Michael gave some meditation instructions, and we mumbled and moaned our way through three repetitions of the refuge and bodhicitta prayers. Tibetan, being a tonal language, lends itself admirably to this sort of droning chant: it's always melodic, and anyway in Tibetan it's mostly written in verse. Listening to Tibetan monks or nuns chanting is in itself a lovely esthetic experience, even if you have no idea what they're saying. The imitation of it in unmetrical, toneless English is a rather dismal, drawling drone, like schoolchildren, who have given up all hope of recess, reciting their lessons. I take inspiration from it, now, and I love the prayers, awkward, clunkily-worded translations though they are. There are even particularly gifted chanters who can make them beautiful, and sometimes you're lucky enough to sit beside one. But it would take a very generous outsider to guess at the beauty we old hands are experiencing.
Finally – I sometimes suspect that Michael, knowing how very long 50 minutes of sitting is going to seem to newbies, drags out these preliminaries a bit so as to give them an easier first ride – we settle into meditation, simple following of the breath, the sensation of the air moving at the end of the nose, tickle cold on the inbreath, tickle warm on the outbreath, the strangely erratic spaces of time between each. Sometimes no interval; sometimes almost a catch, and then a fall. Sometimes the deep even breathing that I used to think ought to be usual, but now recognize as, for me, a bit of an oddity. The usual discomforts, the usual panicky thoughts – "Oh my GOD I'm sitting STILL, am I going to DIE?" – acknowledged and sent to go play quietly with their toys in the other room. I love sitting shamatha.
The young woman on my left shifts and fidgets. Her fingers twitch at the liturgy on her lap. I imagine that physical contact with it repels her. Oops! Losing my attention on the breath. Back to the tip of my nose. Such a wonderful, reliable tether, the breath. Always there, always just interesting enough and not too interesting.
More twitching on my left. I imagine that this is getting harder, not easier, for her. "You have no idea what she's experiencing, Dale," I tell myself. "And back to the breath, bucko."
Five minutes, maybe ten minutes, pass, and suddenly she takes the liturgy out of her lap, lays it on the zabuton in front of her, and stands. She finds her way between me and the person behind me. A moment later the door opens and closes quietly. I imagine her taking deep breaths in the clear cold air of morning.
I don't move; I haven't moved even my eyes: my physical stillness is pretty deep at this point. A little sad. A silly fantasy of trotting out after her, reassuring her, bringing her back in. The worst thing I could possibly do, no doubt. And anyway, once I've set the intention to meditate, I'd damn well better do it: nothing is more destructive to practice than letting something – anything – override the intention. And furthermore, Mr Dale, this impulse is fueled in large part by her being young and pretty, isn't it? And you're losing attention on the breath. Back to the tip of the nose.
Part of my mind is still out on the porch, and going down the stairs, guilty and overwhelmingly relieved, running from the golden idols and the weirdly painted deities, the horrible bearded old men with their droning voices and smug self-satisfaction: getting out, out into the clarity of God's morning, weaving the story of the morning this way and that. I'm with you, dear. One faith is hard enough.

Oh. Oh, yes.
In Jewish tradition we only prostrate once a year -- during the Days of Awe, during one particular prayer -- and not everyone does it, but I do, and I love it. I always wish I could stay there.
Thank you so much for this post. You are saying all sorts of things I need to hear, today.
- christopher said...
me too Dale, there are tears in my eyes, just a little bit at the beauty of the compassion here.
- Lucy said...
A pity she won't see this.
I had the same sort of reaction to a Christian communion - it was in the abbey on Iona, a place I loved and wanted to be, and a person I liked very much passed me the chalice and said 'the blood of Christ...' with a hopeful smile, even though I'd said I didn't. I had to run away, and spent the rest of the day out on the cliffs, taking those deep breaths.
- marly youmans said...
Great closure, fusing surprising and closing at once.
- Natalie d'Arbeloff said...
H'm...yes. But would it have been so bad if you disobeyed your own intentions, and gone after her, and just had a chat, told her just what you wrote in this post? Not to convert her but just to connect? Isn't it OK to disobey one's self sometimes?
- Dale said...
Oh no, no, Natalie! Think about what it would feel like to be pursued that way!
- Natalie d'Arbeloff said...
Dale, I'm thinking, and to me it wouldn't have felt like pursuit but maybe I'm strange. Whatever thoughts she (I) had while she (I) was sitting there would have been worth hearing and surely she (I) would have wanted to know what it was like for you, a committed participant, since there was no way she could imagine the post you wrote about it.
- Dale said...
Na, for sure I would have loved to know her thoughts!
- Peter said...
beeWhen I've listened to the Divine Liturgy sung by Orthodox Priests in English, much more foreign to my post-Renaissance ear than plainchant, I wonder if it's what I need. To go back to the Episcopal Church and its beautiful liturgy and music would be as familiar as my childhood. But to the Orthodox's rather artless translation -- nothing appeals to me, nothing hooks me. That was the biggest draw.
I love your description of the imitation of Tibetan chants.

Machine not responding to incoming connections
I have a two FreeBSD servers running with static IP's. They were running fine until I had a power failure yesterday. I restarted them, fsck'ed everything and everything looks good.
However, I cannot connect to these boxes from outside my network.
I have a Ubuntu machine on the same network with a static IP that receives incoming connections without any problem (ssh/http etc).
The two freebsd machines WILL receive connections on the static IP, but it has to be sent from within the network. So I they can connect to each other and any machine within the subnet can connect to the server. However, nothing OUTSIDE the network can connect to these two freebsd machines. The Ubuntu machine is receiving connections fine so I'm not sure what the problem is. I don't have any firewalls running IPFW is disabled.
Since the Linux machine is working, I don't think it is a router issue. When I do a netstat I can see that there are incoming connections, but they seem to be stuck in the SYN_RCVD state.

Most bizarre
Ok, this is most bizarre.
Out of desperation I completely reinstalled FreeBSD (7.2) on one of the machines. I still have the exact same problem. Firewall/router issue? Then why is it ONLY affecting the FreeBSD machines and not the Linux machine?!
Doesn't look like it's the router. I restored the router to factory settings and put in information for my static IP's. Still have the same problem. I don't think anything is blocking the connection. The incoming connection anyway, because I can see a SYN_RCVD on the FreeBSD machines. But there is no response from the machine. The connection just times out. Oh, and the machines are able to talk to the outside world without any problem. They just seem to have a problem responding to INCOMING connections.

You haven't provided any configuration information, so here are two guesses. If they aren't applicable, try posting network configuration info. If you want to diagnose the problem, use tcpdump(1).
This "Sounds" like one of two things:
1) Route table mismanagement -- e.g. a missing default route, or bad subnet masking. See ifconfig(8) and route(8). If you use DHCP for configuration, and you see routing or other information is not configured properly see dhclient.conf(5).
2) Firewall settings. If you're using PF or ipfw, of course. Specific guidance will depend on which is implemented, and what is being blocked exactly.
Thanks jggimi!
I don't have pf or ipfw running (unless it starts up by default?? How do I check?). So I don't think it's a firewall issue. The odd thing is that on one machine I have a brand-new install and so I'm running on default settings. So I don't see why it shouldn't respond to connections.
Here's my rc.conf (network settings):
defaultrouter="209.x.y.54" hostname="andromeda.is-a-geek.net" ifconfig_fxp0="inet 209.x.y.50 netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"

You have two NICs, and rl0 uses DHCP. It is -possible- that the DHCP connection overlays your routing table. Did you look at your routing table, with both NICs operational, to confirm your default route was still properly in place? If not, try netstat -r or netstat -nr.
Well, this is what I have:
209.x.y.49 -> enterprise
209.x.y.50 -> andromeda
209.x.y.51 -> tardis
209.x.y.52 -> unassigned
209.x.y.53 -> wireless router
(48, 54, and 55 are unusable)
And when I do netstat -nr I get this:
Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 10.0.1.1 UGS 0 2 rl0 10.0.1.0/24 link#2 UC 0 0 rl0 10.0.1.1 00:16:cb:c6:3e:19 UHLW 2 0 rl0 1191 10.0.1.6 00:90:f5:3e:fc:9c UHLW 1 44436 rl0 1191 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 209.x.y.48/29 link#1 UC 0 0 fxp0 209.x.y.53 00:16:cb:c6:3e:19 UHLW 1 51 fxp0 1187
On the linux machine (tardis) I get:

I restarted the machine, and changed around the order of the interfaces in rc.conf (not sure if that changes anything):

Your DHCP server is setting your default route to 10.0.1.1. You don't -want- that for an Internet-exposed platform. (You do want a firewall, or very limited services, obviously).
In simplest terms, a route is where to send packets outside the local subnets. Your local LAN is 10.0.1.0/24, and your Internet LAN is 201.x.y.z/29. If you have no -specific- routes defined, any address that falls outside these two subnets will use your default route, which is 10.0.1.1. And that is on a different (and wrong) NIC, which is why you don't see the packets on fxp0.
You need to set your dhclient.conf to ignore the route information from your DHCP server, or, set that address as static as well.
(You should learn to hide any internet facing domain names and IP addresses in public forums, else you will give attackers lots of information they otherwise might not have.)
If you run tcpdump on rl0 you will likely see the replies to 220.127.116.11 trying to get out (for the reason jggimi already stated -- your desired default gateway is overruled by the one set by DHCP) . So your machine is responding to incoming packets, but to the wrong network.
You're a lifesaver! I've been pulling my hair out for since yesterday
Yeah, I shouldn't have displayed my IP's (I don't have ftp or telnet; I have SSH and I have set AllowUsers in the config to my name. I also don't allow root logins) since that is information that attackers can use!
So you were right! The dhcp server running on the router plugged into my second interface was overwriting everything. I looked up the manpage of dhclient.conf and found a few howtos. I forced the default router to be 209.x.y.54 and that seemed to work! Here's my dhclient.conf:
backoff-cutoff 2; initial-interval 1; retry 10; select-timeout 0; timeout 30; interface "vr0" { supersede routers 209.x.y.54; supersede host-name "enterprise"; supersede domain-name "xxxx.xxx"; request subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; }

What is "Fate/stay night"?
"Fate/stay night" (or simply: Fate, f/sn, 笛, etc.) is an anime based on an ero-game (gasp!) released by the softhouse TYPE-MOON back in early 2004. The covers for the original (limited first-press edition version) game are shown below:
You may recall TYPE-MOON as the original creators of "Tsukihime," who at the time were merely amateur doujin game creators. I recall I posted something a quite a time ago about how TYPE-MOON started out, but all I could find was this: http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...9&postcount=30
Following their crowning achievement in the doujin market, TYPE-MOON decided to go pro. Their first game release as pros was "Fate/stay night." The game sold an unprecedented +100,000 copies (which is a very high number for an ero-game) and was a massive hit. Dozens of official merchandise and multi-media enterprises spawned. It was a matter of time that rumors about this going to be animated started being heard.
In October 2005, TYPE-MOON released a fun/fan-disc called "Fate/hollow ataraxia" show below (limited edition first release packaging):
Once again, they made headlines as they were able to reach an estimated sales of over 150,000 copies on the first week alone.
Although regarded to be a "fan" disc, several new characters are shown for the first time that relate to the story in "Fate/stay night." It is speculated that some characters here will make cameos in the anime (this speculation was later backed up when Hotaruzuka Neko made a small appearance in the anime).
And now, starting January 2006, the much anticipated anime version of "Fate/stay night" started airing across various UHF stations.

Look, I've never played the game, nor had anything to do with FSN before the anime release, and I can tell that I liked both the first two episodes. The first one, like all the introductions, was kinda slow, while the second one showed the real potential of FSN. Just give it a try. I bet you won't regret it.

Hmm. Fate/stay newbie here.
Since I know nothing about the game, I was wondering if Fate/stay night and the fandisk Fate/hollow ataraxia shared the same main character, or if Fate/hollow ataraxia continued a scenario from the Fate/stay night game?

Fate/hollow ataraxia takes place half a year after the end of the 5th Holy Grail war (in other words, half a year after the end of Fate/stay night). The premise is that someone has restarted the Holy Grail war, and you have to find out the truth within the "promised 4 days". The entire game of hollow ataraxia takes place within these 4 days, at the end of the last day, you will be sent back to the main menu, but all the events you have already seen remains "checked". Slowly, through the repeating 4 days, you will uncover the truth behind the reopened war and the looping days.
Mechanics wise, hollow ataraxia is comprised of hundreds of "scenes", which you can pick freely from an overworld map of Fuyuki city throughout the 4 days. Each day is split into Morning, Afternoon, and Night, which all contains different events. The events are represented with clickable character icons that float over the location (for example, a Saber icon floating over the dock represents an event dealing with Saber at the dock. Most events are lighthearted and fun to watch, where we get to see all the servants living out a normal life after the last war. At the same time, some events are important "key" events that pushes the main story on. So depending on your preference, you can leave the "everyday" events and pick only the "key" events to push the main story on, or you can loop the days as many time as you want and watch all the events available before moving on with the story (which opens up more events).
As for the question "does hollow ataraxia continue after a scenario in Fate?" I'd say yes and no. hollow ataraxia contains references to all three routes of Fate/stay night, but it doesn't follow any route in particular. For one, even though some, if not most, servants died in all the scenarios from Fate/stay night, all the servants are alive and well in hollow ataraxia.
You can probably think of it this way "the story of hollow ataraxia assumes that all three routes from Fate/stay night has occured, but regardless of the actual ending, everyone is alive and well with memories from all three routes".

Anyhow, "Fate/stay night" is based on a Japanese visual-novel game. Let's leave it at that.

I present a candidate for a new derivation of black hole
entropy. The key observation is that the action of General Relativity in
bounded regions has an imaginary part, arising from the boundary term. The
formula for this imaginary part is closely related to the Bekenstein-Hawking
entropy formula, and coincides with it for certain classes of regions. This
remains true in the presence of matter, and generalizes appropriately to
Lovelock gravity. The imaginary part of the action is a versatile notion,
requiring neither stationarity nor any knowledge about asymptotic infinity.
Thus, it may provide a handle on quantum gravity in finite and dynamical
regions. I derive the above results, make connections with standard approaches
to black hole entropy, and speculate on the meaning of it all. Implications for
loop quantum gravity are also discussed.

Hi, thanks for the help. Yes I checked all fuses that I could find (behind the glove box and under the bonnet) When you say check relays,. what can I do with them, and which one is it that works lighting etc? Thanks
I'm sure the earth is fine. Like I said earlier in my post, what really confuses me is the fact that as soon as I tempereraly connected the failing tail light to the working one, both did not work. I have since put the wiring back as it was, and now the one working tail light does not work. Plus, wouldn't a bad earth affect other lights in the cluster? As all other lighting is working as it should.
Thanks for the reply, no I checked power at the connector also.
No Tail Lights
Roukel01 posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubHello All I have a 2003 Mondeo. The drivers side tail light has stopped working. Checked bulb, that was ok. I swapped anyway just incase, but it still isn't working. I checked with my test lead and there's no power to the lamp holder. All other lights are working, breaks, passenger tail light, front lights etc. Checked all fuses in both boxes and all were ok. So, I ran a temporary lead from the working tail light to try and get it going, but that took the working one out too! Checked all fuses again, but still all OK. Where do I go from here? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is there some kind of computer controlled safety overload that might have kicked in? if so, how do you go about resetting it? Many Thanks for any help. Lee

'93 Scorpio Strange Electrical Fault
Roukel01 posted a topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsHello All I have a 1993 Scorpio 2.0 Auto. I noticed that the interior lights were no longer working, and the same with the central locking. One night when driving home (obviously with my lights on) I nuged the door lever with my elbow and the Central locking worked perfectly! as did the interior lights. I got home, switched the car lights off and both the central locking and interior lights no longer worked again. It seems that both these will only work when the lights are switched on! I had a look through my Haynes manual and found that all three of these systems seem to share a common Earth connection, and so my first guess would be that this connection is corroded or something. the trouble is, I have no idea where I will find this earth connection to check. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or give me any other advice on what I should check? Thanks.

Making a Prophecy
A Seer begins reciting a prophecy involuntarily, entering a trance-like state and uttering in an altered voice. As is the case with Sybill Trelawney, the Seer seems not to remember the event, and is left exhausted. On at least one occasion, Trelawney, after reciting a prophecy, assumed she had "dozed off".
Trelawney's prophecies
First prophecy
- "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
- —Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy[src]
Trelawney's first known prophecy was witnessed by Albus Dumbledore in 1980, foretelling the birth of a boy who would be capable — though not assured — of defeating Lord Voldemort, that Voldemort would "mark him as his equal", and that either the boy or Voldemort would ultimately kill the other. This boy was revealed to be Harry Potter.
Harry was completely unaware of the Prophecy until it was revealed to him by Dumbledore after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.
Second prophecy
- "It will happen tonight... The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before midnight... the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever he was. Tonight... before midnight... the servant... will set out... to rejoin... his master..."
- —Sybill Trelawney's second prophecy[src]
Trelawney's second known prophecy was witnessed by Harry Potter in 1994 — it foretold Peter Pettigrew's imminent return to Voldemort's service.
Ministry of Magic's records
Main Article: Prophecy Record
A Prophecy Record is a spun-glass, spherical object used to record a prophecy. The orbs contain swirling mist and are kept in the Hall of Prophecies inside the Department of Mysteries. Many were subsequently destroyed in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. Only those mentioned in the Prophecy can remove the record from the Hall.
Battle of the Department of Mysteries
Main Article: Battle of the Department of Mysteries
Baited by false visions of Sirius Black suffering under torture at the Ministry of Magic, instilled within his mind by Voldemort's use of Legilimency, Harry Potter, along with Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Ginevra Weasley and Luna Lovegood rushed to the Ministry in the hopes of rescuing Sirius. Using the details from Harry's vision to guide them, the group located the Hall of Prophecies, where Ron found a prophecy record inscribed with Harry's name. It read:
- S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D
- Dark Lord
- and (?) Harry Potter
S.P.T are the initials of Sybill Patricia Trelawney; A.P.W.B.D, the initials of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. A question mark (?) was used in place of the as-of-then uncertain subject of the prophecy.
Unbeknownst to the group, Death Eaters lay in wait for Harry to retrieve the Prophecy Record. Harry, seeing his name was on it, took it, causing the Death Eaters to reveal themselves. They subsequently chased the group through the Department of Mysteries, in an attempt to steal the Prophecy Record. During the following violence, the Record fell from Harry's pocket, was kicked away accidently by Neville, and smashed.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, an echo of the prophecy, told by Sybill Trelawney, is heard while Harry is holding it. In the book, though, he hears it from Professor Dumbledore.
- Also in the film; instead of the Prophecy breaking while Neville is holding it, it is broken when Lucius Malfoy is struck by Sirius Black in front of the Veil. Lucius attempts to catch the falling orb but fails, and it smashes on the rocks.
- Also in the film, the prophecy concerning Harry and Lord Voldemort is shortened from that made in the book.
- In the video game version of Order of the Phoenix, the prophecy is destroyed when Harry gives it to Sirius, who deliberately drops it.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the wording of the prophecy related to Peter Pettigrew's escape and rejoining with Voldemort was changed.

Primitive Pieces by Lynda. I'm not sure how "necessary" they are but they were sure fun to make!
I made a sample for me so I'd be familiar with the construction. The bag on the left opens at the top and fits a quilting book perfectly. The 3 cotton pieces are pockets on the front. I did the applique in wool.
That is a little sewing rollup on the right.
Here is the roll up opened. There is a pocket at the top and little pockets at the bottom right above the year.
Here are the two pattern/book bags I made for a shop sample. The little one will hold patterns and whatever else you might be toting along.
These were fun to make! If you have the pattern I suggest appliqueing before sewing the front and back together.

1959. What else?
[Interesting sidebar: While June Foray's the stnadard female voice for producer Jay Ward, predecessor Crusader Rabbit was not voiced by her but in a) then current post-Ward TV Spots color version by the morte obscure voice actress on both animation & radio GeGe Pearson [related to fellow radio star Drew pearson?] and before by Lucille Bliss [who joined Foray in voicing one of the bland shows, a comic adapation that the blogmaster himself worked on, Smurfs] and that b) Jay Ward heydey frog Hoppity Hooper who also lacked a Daws Butler [or for boyish results Walt Tetley] perfomance also didn't have June but Christina Allen, also the voice of other females. Yet June's always there otherwise. That picture may have been as a advertisement and showing off model stuff, much like the Flinstones book that had Dino ["Hanna Barber's FLINTSTONE] and a caveson by Golden Books in 1960 was off-model.
- Pokey said...
If you have Jerry Beck & Will Friedwald's 1989 "Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies", take a look at the Sergio Aragones like marginals showing off model ads for Warner Bros.cartoons. Like "A Hick, A Slick and a Chick" [about the three mouse, a Popeye/Goofy/Country and City mouse hybrid], the one Art Davis directed with the "It IS 2706" address bit, where the marginal art of the country boy hero shows himselof rather different than the Art Davis 1948 short has him [but frankly, that cartoon's pretty strangerly designed and a lot of off model stuff is in this, and come to think OF it, a ,lot of Davis shorts.] There's a Hubie and Bertie ad in the marginal of the Beck and Freidwalf Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies ad for "House Hunting Mice' [1947] when it's time for Jerry and Will to have that entry.
It's interesting to see off model stuff based on it at rare times. even more funnier when stuff that's crappy to begin with, like that animation from hell, My Little [yechhy] Pony in a badly designed jigsaw puzzle, or was it a bed quilt for the future blandess police, which I saw in one of the late, lamented May Co. stores toy dept's., It made the young teenage girl "Megan", kind of an oddity in those preschool girls [in addition to which the strange remix of this saccharine-sweet greeting card stuff and Dungeons and Dragons is right there with previous decades's Partridge/Jetsons mix at HB. In that a little girl version of "Megan", who was a teenager plopped in the usual cutesy doll ohase, despite the [kind of] sparing of baby-izing of the My Crappy Ponies, instead of the teenage farmgirl she was. But then as those of us who evem bothered critizing this stuff noted about Strabberry S**tcake, the from bad to worse syndrome happens to cartoons. Just as classics [Yogi, Pooh,etc./] have been ingloriously bastardized I've heard that it WAS NOT the merchandiser or book publishers or such but the studios.
- Pokey said...
THAT is why you'd get Dell Comics or Little Golden Books stuff with off model, and additional charatcers, like that Fred Jr., or the Roadrunner family. And the new tradition of these birds talking [carried to DFE's already copied Warners made, Cool Cat, the first of the era's new generation].
Frankly though, if the 1967-68 revival at Seven Arts of Warners had allowed the Runner to continue, and that one off-Looney Tunes attempt in the last one shot, Rapid Rabbit, was a true ripoff, that if the Roadrunner's family and rhyming talking came to the theatre in still more cartoons, it wouldn't surprise anybody.
I can just imagine with the Hanna-Barbera-ification that they'd have H-B's stock co.of actors [back in 1967, if that move was done instead oif using Warners own voiced, who'd play the Roadrunners-Mel Blanc had established an intellectual voice for Wiley going bakc to 1952 and used it in the next to last one shot, and Alex Lovy's last, Chimp and Zee as the fat professor-however I'll assume if Warners tried to bastardise the Roadrunners in the late 60s by talking the Dell/Whitman pages version with the rhyming to screen, that in the then current HB-ification that Daws Butler might voice most with Janet Waldo as Mrs.Runner. Actuallty finer voices, though Walter Lantz had cast Daws as poor [in every way]
Chilly Willy and Janet Waldo, a sperb teenage girl imprerssionist as Judy, and it's her own voice, was later cast in crappy toons [Josie, These are the Days,etc.]
BTW Larry Storch seemed to be the "bastardization era" 1960s voice for most new Warner characters in the late 60s.
Then there those non-Mel Blanc Bugs Bunny records [both the albums Mel recalled in That's Not All Folks in 1988 right around his death] and the ones that Mitch Miller [despite his "Laura Turner?Tipper Gore" image much more deserving of respect in many ways] produced and directed at Golden Records with Bugs Bunny. where [HOPEFULLY] for logistical reasons Blanc is not voicing the characters.
[My apologies for THREE comments but Blogger had to cut it off - character quantity limit, y'know.]

In the wake of the earthquake that jolted my apartment building and a large portion of the eastern United States on Tuesday, allow me to express my disappointment in the local pet population. Long known for possessing the ability to sense impending natural phenomena, animals are nature's early warning system. Yet in the minutes leading up to the magnitude 5.8 quake — reportedly the strongest to strike the area since 1944 — not a single bark, meow, chirp, or whatever it is that turtles do, sounded through the cheaply insulated walls of my building.
Oh sure, pets can make all the ungodly racket they want when they're hungry, need attention, or simply want to keep me awake in the wee hours, but heaven forbid they should obey millennia of natural instinct and let us know that a potentially destructive earthquake is imminent. One local office worker reported that the temblor spilled her tea. Imagine the personal catastrophe to computer or groin had I been enjoying a cup of Earl Gray when my desk chair began swaying, while all of the pets throughout my building kept mum.
And a special "Bad dog!" to the 70-pound hellhound that incessantly jumps against the walls and makes my ceiling sound like the site of a championship Greco-Roman wrestling match, yet when man really needs his best friend — not a peep.
These animals have it too easy. We feed them, love them, house them, and occasionally clothe them, yet we ask nothing in return but obedience and affection as they spend their days sleeping, eating, and ruining our rugs and furniture. As far as I'm concerned, local pets dropped the ball on this one. They're getting to be as freeloading, spoiled, and indifferent as Congress.

Wood's rematch effort falls flat as Braves drop opener
MIAMI -- Like so many other sequels, Alex Wood vs. Jose Fernandez Part II was not nearly as thrilling as the original battle that was staged last week. As Fernandez extended his mastery of the Braves, Wood endured an outing that proved to be much more painful than the tough-luck losses he had suffered in his two most recent outings.
After he and Fernandez combined for 25 strikeouts during last week's initial showdown in Atlanta, Wood exited the enthralling pitchers' duel and said "that's about as much fun as it gets for me."View Full Game Coverage
MIAMI -- Like so many other sequels, Alex Wood vs. Jose Fernandez Part II was not nearly as thrilling as the original battle that was staged last week. As Fernandez extended his mastery of the Braves, Wood endured an outing that proved to be much more painful than the tough-luck losses he had suffered in his two most recent outings.
After he and Fernandez combined for 25 strikeouts during last week's initial showdown in Atlanta, Wood exited the enthralling pitchers' duel and said "that's about as much fun as it gets for me."View Full Game Coverage
Wood had a much different opinion after he endured one of the ugliest starts of his blossoming career and watched Fernandez have his way with a makeshift lineup while leading the Marlins to a 9-0 win over the Braves on Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
"You can't really make a whole lot of mistakes," Wood said. "It's safe to say there were a whole lot of mistakes made by me tonight. A few, I wish I had back. But that's baseball."
It was the same sport, but a much different game than these two young pitchers had created with the stellar eight-inning performances they had completed against each other exactly one week earlier. Once the Marlins completed a five-run sixth inning, Wood found himself charged with seven earned runs and 10 hits in just five-plus innings. He notched just two strikeouts, nine fewer than the career-best total he compiled while holding this same Miami lineup to one run over eight innings last week.
"There were a lot of balls over the middle of the plate," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "That's uncharacteristic of Woody. I'll chalk it up to just one of those starts after three or four really, really good ones. They just got some balls over the middle of the plate and they got hits with some guys on base."
The 23-year-old Braves southpaw had allowed just six earned runs in the 35 innings that had encompassed his previous five starts this year. He had suffered 1-0 losses after lasting eight innings in both of his two most recent starts, matchups against Fernandez and Philadelphia's A.J. Burnett.
"When you face the same guy twice in one week, sometimes you can get to that guy," Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. "But it's just one start for Alex. You just need to put that behind you and move on. They got some balls in play and got a rally going. Once they got one, it seemed like that was all Jose needed."
After watching Fernandez notch 14 strikeouts in Atlanta, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez chose to sit Justin Upton, B.J. Upton, Chris Johnson and Dan Uggla with the hope that the addition of left-handed and contact hitters would lead to better results against the Marlins' ace.
Fernandez might not have been as statistically overpowering as he recorded just eight strikeouts in this sequel. But the 21-year-old right-hander proved every bit as effective as he surrendered two hits and matched the eight scoreless innings he produced in the original battle against Wood.
Through his first four career starts against the Braves, Fernandez is 3-1 with a 0.93 ERA. His lone loss came on Aug. 31, a 2-1 setback determined by Freeman's two-run, first-inning home run. Since then, he has allowed one run in 28 innings against Atlanta.
"We've got to figure out a way to beat Fernandez," Gonzalez said. "Not everybody is Cy Young. You still have to beat Cy Young every once in a while."
The Braves' best scoring opportunity came in the third inning when Tyler Pastornicky walked and advanced to third base on Jason Heyward's two-out single. But Fernandez thwarted this threat when he fielded Ramiro Pena's slow roller up the third-base line and then pumped a throw to first base. Pastornicky bit on the fake and was called out on a close play at the plate.
"That's a great play," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "That's an instinctual play. He knew that he didn't have a play at first. He took advantage of the baserunner being aggressive, and that's exactly what the baserunner is going to do. As soon as he throws it, he's going to score. It's a great play."
Wood recorded seven flyball outs his first time through the lineup, and then started to pay the price for leaving pitches up in the zone. Christian Yelich tripled off the left-center-field wall with two outs in the third and then scored when Ed Lucas recorded an RBI single that might have been an out had Justin Upton been playing left field instead of Ryan Doumit. Giancarlo Stanton followed Lucas' single by drilling a curveball over the right-center-field wall for a two-run home run that gave him a franchise-record 31 RBIs in April.
"It was a hanging breaking ball," Wood said. "I tried to go backdoor breaking ball. A guy that strong, even if he hits it off the end of the bat, he's going to put it up in the air. If you make a mistake with something like that, he's probably going to put it out of the ballpark. You can't really afford to make mistakes up here, much less make a mistake to a guy like that."
Wood's night came to an end when he allowed each of the four batters he faced in the sixth inning to reach safely. Casey McGehee drew a leadoff walk ahead of a Jarrod Saltalamacchia double. Marcell Ozuna followed with a two-run single moments before a Jeff Baker RBI single sent Wood to the clubhouse much earlier than he had hoped.
"I didn't really have good breaking ball command and there were obviously a lot of balls left over the plate," Wood said. "They made some adjustments from last week. I think any time you make back-to-back starts against a team that swings it well at home, that's tough in itself."

Want straight up access to all Ubuntu/Debian packages?
Subject description: A success story
Well guys, I know several people here were speculating on the idea of apt-get working on Puppy linux, and I bet several more have gotten it working. I just wanted to post my success story on getting it working.
Basically, I went to Debian's website, then to their package section, and then I went on ahead and downloaded apt-get from there. (You have to scroll down to the bottom in order to get compiled downloads per processor type.) Fortunately, puppy supports .deb archives all the way up to the point of installing them and making them accessible from the "start" menu, if applicable, but apt-get is command line only. So open up the terminal, then type apt-get. If you get a reply with available options, then you are pretty much all set! Go ahead and type apt-get update, and it should then update your database of available packages. Now type apt-get -f install, which should go through and download+install any missing or broken dependencies. Finally, if you want some gui management, go ahead and
apt-get install synaptic
, which should download, install, and place it in the same menu that contains puppy's version of synaptic. (It won't actually launch from there though, you'll have to open a terminal and type synaptic.) I seem to recall having some trouble getting it to work off the bat, so try and improvise from there.
If you have any trouble getting anything to work, or are being prompted with an error message, post it exactly as is here and I will help you.
If you have a problem, go
first to see if it hasn't all ready been posted!

Hmmm... I do not remember getting those errors. So I'm assuming you guys both got apt-get from debian's website, and you installed them correctly, right? (And you got the i386 versions?)
A short google search seems to come up saying that sources.list may be a culprit, could both of you please post yours here? (Use PSearch to find it.)
EDIT: After thinking about it for a bit, DPKG generally puts up errors starting with "E:", so go
and download dpkg and install it.

Post subject: Apt-get
I am back again...
Running Jaunty Puppy version 4.7.6.
As i told you sometime ago the only thing that still keeps me tied to Windows is the videoconferencing in Skype and Yahoo and that fact that get better download speeds in Win without havin` to go Axel -n 100
So thrilled by the prospect of having the power apt-get under my hands
i went to this site
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/apt/download and downloaded
apt_0.7.20.2+lenny1_i386.deb installed it nicely no problem
But when i actually tried to install something it it gave me the following error
SO what do we do now? Any ideas...??

I have to admit not knowing much about apt-get other than having used it in other distros.
I wonder if it is a repository thing. I don't know how it would be done or checked but do you have the right repositoy?
Also had you done an apt-update?
Probably of no help but might spark other ideas.

You are actually lucky enough to have come across an easy to solve problem
Simple go to /var/lib/dpkg and create a blank file named "status". If it gives you a similar error, repeat, except with the file name requested.
Enjoy, and I will add this to the wiki!

Post subject: didn't work
I downloaded and extracted the file with pupzip.
After it failed to work in terminal (err - bash no such command), I read your Debianization instructions and moved the .deb archive to / (not the root directory) and again extracted. No go.
I looked at the list of files supposed to be in the package and can't find them on my system so I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I am running puppy 4.2.1 on a Fujitsu T4220 convertible tablet.
Appreciate any advice/assistance.

Hmmm... I'm more used to terminal extracting now, so give these a try:
ar -dv (Archive name here)
tar -xvf data.tar.gz (It will always be named data.tar.gz)
That should then exract everything to the current folder, hopefully you will do this in the root of the hd.
And if that does not work, try searching for apt, and see what you get.
I'm almost betting that it's extracting the binary to a place that is not yet in the path.

Post subject: follow up to doesn't work when I type apt-get
After following your instructions for extracting from terminal (in root directory), I see progress.
I now obtained E: msg seen by two other respondents, namely "E: Unable to determine a suitable packaging system type."
I followed your advice and instructions to download and install dpkg. Same error msg.
I realized that you only told me to extract the data.tar.gz and not the control.tar.gz, so I used the same commands in terminal to extract that file as well.
This didn't change the error msg.
Not clear how to analyze this - appreciate comments.
BTW, do I need to RTFM?
Thanks again.

Since I'm a nicer person I would just say Read the Manual rather than Read The F***ing Manual
But I should probably do the same myself...
After googling around a little more, here is what I can conclude on the error: In some way certain files are missing, since google brings back results from a project called "scratchbox". Unfortunately, none of the issues brought up have solutions, so let's give this a try:
If you could download, manually extract, and install all depend packages
found here
, that would help me and everyone else out very much. If you could install one, then see if it's working, that would be great as well. (And report which one fixed it, too.) As a side note, you only need to extract the data archive, since the other ones only contain info for dpkg as in how to install the package, etc.
I don't really understand why other users have been getting this, whereas I didn't, has there been a recently release of puppy?

Post subject: Second response to tgp1994
I tried the additional downloads and...
Wow, what a mess that caused!
First, I selected coreutils...deb and lib6...deb to the / directory and then tried extracting manually as before. However, no tar.gz files were generated and so I did two things.
I renamed the files extracted from the previous deb file (the new deb files contained files with the same names). Then, I used the pupzip application with the coreutils....deb and produced a new data.tar.gz file and then in terminal manually ran tar -xvf data.tar.gz.
The screen responded with a string of files.
However, after this the apt-get command did not work any better and then I attempted to recheck the files in / prior to installing the lib6...deb files. The ls command produced and error that involved libselinux.so.1. I had noted that selinux files were in another dependency that I had not downloaded and extracted and installed.
After this, I no longer had an internet connection.
I closed the terminal and reopened it, but it still had the previous messages and problem doing an ls command. With TAB, I found that in theory there were 1601 commands available to the shell (including ls), but the failure to find the libselinux.so.1 file blocked its display.
I rebooted and now could not boot into X, because of a similar error message.
Somewhat desperate, I looked for a backup save file and found one (512 megabytes vs the new one with 3581 megabytes).
I renamed the new save file as bad and moved the backup to the /mnt/home/puppy421 directory and renamed it as pupsave-live421.2fs.
My system now rebooted into an X windowed environment and seems to be normal.
I think I will wait a bit before trying again.
Hope that helps <g>.
