The Magic Hour, The Grand Royale London Hyde Park
The Magic Hour is a sell out magic show in the heart of London, awarded the 2015 Certificate of Excellence (TripAdvisor). Performed in the evocative old drawing room of the Grand Royale Hyde Park, you will take an unusual trip back in time to discover the illusions and deceptions of the Victorian masters. Tony Middleton 'Sonic' is an international magician who has performed from Rome to Rio de Janeiro. He's appeared on ITV's Penn & Teller: Fool Us and entertained the likes of Sir Roger Moore, who commented 'one of the finest magicians I have ever seen'. The Magic Hour is a unique experience of Victorian parlour magic, featuring sleight of hand made popular by conjurors at the turn of the century. So why try something different? Objects with vanish and spirits will write messages from 'the other side'. Watch closely because your eyes will deceive you.
Book your The Magic Hour tickets, playing at The Grand Royale London Hyde Park today.

Not to worry. I can explain. Your search for "mwavem" should find a tar.gz file in /lib/modules/all-firmware. That is part of pupppy 4.1.2 even without the dotpet. It contains all the mwave pieces except for the driver, which is already present (in /lib/modules/188.8.131.52/kernel/drivers/char/mwave).
From your reports I conclude that your modem is not being detected by the "rule" because it is not a PCI modem. The rule looks for a vendor of 1014 and device 007d. Verify with PupScan PCI interfaces that this ID is not there, If it were, its module would be "unknown". You might post the output from pupscan, in case it holds any clues.
Assuming that is the case, your modem must be a ISA type, which is not automatically detected. The solution is to use the BootManager to add "mwave' to the list of modules to load at bootup. No need to add arguments, because they are ignored for mwave (which is a special case). That should trigger extraction of the mwave files and cause the init script to run at bootup. See how far that gets you.
If it works, please also try it without the mwave dotpet, to verify the stripped version still is bad, given that this activation method is different from what you described.

184.108.40.206 -- this is retro, but yes the mwave .ko is there.

Yes, I believe you said it was ISA way back in this thread -- in the "Granny" days.

Not there.

Will do.
Sometime later........
I enabled mwave in the bootmanager and rebooted. Went through the usual modem connection methods, probed twice. No modem found.
I searched the filesystem and this time
et al have been properly distributed into the filesystem
A check of Pprocess does not show
running as a process.
We could start it manually, but I'll wait to hear from you.

I am embarrassed to have to admit that we have been through all this before. I just started again from scratch.
Anyway, you
gotten the mwave tarball to expand in association with "loading" mwave. Now to determine whether the script actually ran. One way is to check /tmp/bootsysinit.log for the lines:
Starting Mwave modem
Starting Mwave Manager
If the first message is missing, we need to find why the script doesn't run. I hope it is there.
Another way is to use lsmod to see if module mwave was loaded (by the script). Also, look at /dev/modem to see whether it exists and what it links to. But I suspect it doesn't get set until a successful probe. I think Barry changed serial modem startup to require probing. So either it does not exist or should point to ttyS0 or ttyS1. Please post or attach /tmp/pupdial.log, after probing.
In the mwaved script I found this at line 132 about the arguments you have used when modprobing mwave:
# Do not set DSPIO, DSPIRQ, UARTIRQ, or UARTIO if you have configured your Mwave
# modem with PS2.EXE, the ThinkPad Setup utility (Windows NT version), or tpctl
# (hopefully someday).
You mentioned you used ps2.exe, but I did not know what that was. Do you use ps2.exe to set those values in the bios? Or should I activate setting them in the mwaved script? They are commented out, but have the same values as yours. If you know they must be set, try uncommenting the subsequent four (obvious) assignment statements and reboot.
At least now we are getting somewhere.

yup, light at end of tunnel.
check /tmp/bootsysinit.log for the lines:
Starting Mwave modem
Starting Mwave Manager
what was found:
check /tmp/bootsysinit.log for the lines:
Starting Mwave modem:
Starting Mwave Manager:failed
The PS2.exe utility is just a MSDOS program for setting BIOS parameters for most of the laptop functions like serial ports, modem, IR, printer port, etc. It is roughly the equivalent of most modern BIOS utilities included in ROM when you hold down a key when booting. With it you can set a device's IRQ parameters, it's port addresses, DMA params, etc.
The Thinkpads also have a utility that pops up if you hold down F1 while booting. Unfortunately it doesn't allow a user to control very much. Unlike modern BIOSes. Thus the need for IBM's PS2.exe. Apparently they wanted to shield casual users from changing port and irq asignments at a basic level.
My BIOS is newly flashed and strictly set for the default factory settings for all ports irq etc. The only use of PS2.exe I've made is to check (but not alter) those settings. I wanted to make sure I did indeed have factory settings, and that they matched what mwavem ships with as defaults. They do.
Many drivers and modules in Linux make assumptions about the port addresses, irqs etc based on Thinkpad factory defaults. I would guess that many "inexplicable" Thinkpad prolems are due to altered assignments at this level.
I believe the commented portion of mwaved that you quote might be an attempt to alter port assignments at a BIOS level. I would recommend against that. Maybe it isn't doing that, and is just hard coding expected port assignments. I don't know. I'm not able to read Bash well enough yet to understand what the script does.
I should say however that the mwaved script in 3.01 worked fine once I determined that the stripped mwavem was at fault. I bet that mwaved script in 412 is the same one as the "longer" mwaved I reportdon in another thread earlier.
The 3.01 version had the same comments you quote here, in fact I even pointed them out in an early troubleshooting stage in that other thread devoted to TP600e modem. Hang on, I'll find that reference in a minute.
Okay here it is:
Rerwin please read those posts. I believe we are going over territory that has already been explored, and resolved at this point.

I just tried running mwavem from the console. But when I do, I don't see it running in Pprocess. Is there something wrong with mwavem? Is this the
same one I have askred to be added to Puppy? Or has it been changed?
The reason I ask is that I can see two instances of mwavem:
/usr/bin/mwavem at 567305 bytes
/mnt/initrd/dev_save/usr/sbin/mwavem at 579276 bytes.
oddly, when doing a "properties" on the files, the smaller first one above has the description "not stripped" and the larger second one has the description "stripped."
Why would the stripped version be larger than the "not stripped"?
I guess we should look at the size of mwavem in the original dotpet package that worked with 3.01.

Great news Rerwin!
I've just managed to get the modem working with almost NO tweaking.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) Boot Puppy 4.1.2 Retro with pfix=ram
2.) Go to Petget Manager and install the dotpuphandler
3.) go to mu's site and download
4.) Install that.
5.) Open a terminal and type:
mwaved start
6.) Output will indicate an error:
# mwaved start
Starting Mwave modem:
Loading kernel module:done
Starting Mwave Manager:done
Configuring serial port:failed
7.) Ignore that and click on the
8.) Follow the usual phone connect procedures : Probe, Probe
9.) The modem is recognized.
10.) Checking Pprocess, mwavem demon is running.
also typing
modem-stats -c "ATI3" /dev/ttyS1
ThinkPad Modem v4.0
Notice this was ALL achieved in a fresh pfix=ram system with no reboots, no additional .pets, no module loading in Bootmanager.
I doubt this will autostart again if I do save a personal save file, but will check.
And I also would think a dotpet will be preferable to a dotpup.
But I've at least been able to confirm first operation of a TP600e modem with complete steps to reproduce in 4.1.2 Retro.
Should be pretty straightforward to make it a part of next Puppy release using this info.
FYI also, from the Network Wizard's probe:
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 4800 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 4800 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 19200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 19200 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

ttyS1<*1>: Max speed is 115200; that should be safe.
ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK
Found a modem on /dev/ttyS1.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.

I have confirmed that a reboot does not autostart the modem. You have to issue the
command from the terminal.
You do not have to run the network wizard again to recognize the modem.

I tried the steps above, and it did not work for me.
I had a full install of 4.1.1retro on my 600E which I wiped clean and then did a full install of 4.1.2retro.
I get up to step #5, and I get error message about module failed to load.
My boot command just has
vga=normal pfix=ram
nothing else.
EDIT: Where does mu's .pup file get installed to? For me, it looks like the included mwave module is being used, not the newly installed one.

I'm testing from a CD boot and a personal save file named "test". You could try the same thing without wiping any installation. They can coexist.
Just boot from the cd with puppy pfix=ram, do the steps above, and shut down. In the shutdown process you will be asked if you want to save the personal settings. Say yes, and title it when asked with a name like "test". Finish up the dialog. Reboot without pfix=ram and you will be asked which personal save file you want to use (if you have more than 1). Choose the test one.
Does the same thing happen?

4.1.2retro is already installed on the hard drive.
I didn't have anything saved with 4.1.1retro.
I don't need dialup since I have DSL and also have two 3Com modems that work in Puppy if I ever were to use dialup. I just thought it would be interesting to see if the modem would work. But, no go.
I want it to work with the full install. If it doesn't, then I guess it doesn't.
My impression is that wrong mwave .ko file is being used.
It works now! What I did was go into BIOS and select Config -> Initialize and Config -> Quick Boot -> Disable. The Initialize causes the Quick Boot to become enabled again because I know that I had set it for disabled. I remember reading someone's post about this; maybe one of your posts. Didn't change anything else.
So, to summarize everything, if you do a full install, follow your steps exactly, but you might have to initialize the BIOS. Oh, and the
is not needed.
I am going to print these steps out and save them.

Hi ieee,
I'm not saying it won't work in a full install. What I'm saying is if you want to confirm a test, you should test in the same environment that it worked in. Since that can be done temporarily you might want to check it out. You can always delete the savefile after. Otherwise we're comparing apples and oranges.
Rerwin is working on a permanent solution for Puppy -- I'm sure for all install types. I'm just helping narrow down the problems by testing under the most limited and clean OS condition I can think of to eliminate possibilities.
There are numerous reasons why even the same environment test might have different results. One is that the modem isn't "enabled" in the Thinkpad BIOS. Another is that it has been assigned different interrupts in the BIOS. Or port addresses. These have nothing to do with Puppy -- or Mwave software. It's a hardware setup issue.
These IRQ and port variations can, among other methods, usually be eliminated by "initializing" the bios to factory defaults and checking with the PS2.exe program, just to be sure.
A Thinkpad with the modem disabled in BIOS won't work with any software. Unfortunately the F1 boot-up method doesn't give access to these things, and you have to "initialize" or else run PS2 to change them.
Finally, yes, there would be two different versions of mwavem and mwaved if you install the dotpet.

Looks like our posts crossed. Glad it's working now.
And yes if you initialize you always have to turn off QuickBoot on a Thinkpad. Not only for the modem, but for sound and other port problems. QuickBoot is generally incompatible with Linux, in every species I've ever tried.

Maybe you can put it in a HowTo so more people can see it.

Funny you should mention a how-to. I kinda took a little flak for trying to develop a how-to with Thinkpad 770x sound. Apparently some feel that by explaining a workaround we are somehow encouraging developers to reduce support for older hardware with new releases. I don't believe that, but I am considering waiting until rerwin creates his new fix. That should take care of problems for everybody, and they can argue with him instead of me.
It's also an example of the falseness of the proposition.

Thanks for defending holding out for a real puppy fix, beyond settling for workarounds. I now have a fix for you to try with a clean puppy. I have done some testing on my Aptiva, which does not have the mwave modem. Nevertheless, I discovered an omission in the forced loading of modules, which we are using to start mwave.
In the normal hardware detection and setup there is logic that skips actually loading mwave but causing the firmware/init-script to be expanded. That script then modprobes mwave. It is an easy edit to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Change line 298 (View>Show line numbers in geany) from:
modprobe $MODULE $MPARAMS
[ "$MODULE" != "mwave" ] && modprobe $MODULE $MPARAMS
Just copy the "[ "$MODULE" != "mwave" ] && " and paste it before the existing "modprobe $MODULE $MPARAMS".
That will run the setup in the correct sequence when you force loading of mwave (in BootManager) and reboot. When I do that, the end of /var/log/messages shows:
Feb 11 17:39:07 (none) user.warn kernel: smapi::smapi_init, ERROR invalid usSmapiID
Feb 11 17:39:07 (none) user.err kernel: mwave: tp3780i::tp3780I_InitializeBoardData: Error: SMAPI is not available on this machine
Feb 11 17:39:07 (none) user.err kernel: mwave: mwavedd::mwave_init: Error: Failed to initialize board data
Feb 11 17:39:07 (none) user.err kernel: mwave: mwavedd::mwave_init: Error: Failed to initialize
Feb 11 17:39:07 (none) user.notice mwave: FATAL: Error inserting mwave (/lib/modules/126.96.36.199/kernel/drivers/char/mwave/mwave.ko): I/O error
So my problem appears to be that I don't have the hardware. I expect you will see more interesting messages.
One step at a time until we get to the point you can detect the difference between the puppy version of mwavem and the dotpup's. Then we can attack that issue. Thanks for your patience (after much frustration).
BTW, when I run pfind on mwavem I see two lines for it that "agree":
/initrd/pup_rw/usr/bin/mwavem 499088
/usr/bin/mwavem 499088
However, the dotpup puts mwavem into /usr/local/sbin (567305 bytes). So, with the dotpup you will see mwavem in both places. But your instance:
/mnt/initrd/dev_save/usr/sbin/mwavem at 579276 bytes
Is a mystery, to me. One question is which instance is actually running. I see the path as PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin..., which means the /usr/bin instance is what gets executed - that is the one I copied from the dotpup into my dotpet. I have to keep things simple, to make progress.

Defense nominee Hagel defends his record in Senate

FILE - In this Jan. 7, 2013 file photo, President Barack Obama shakes hands with Defense Secretary-nominee, former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Hagel says his months fighting in Vietnam alongside his brother Tom shaped his view of what its like to be a soldier in war, an experience that will inform his work if the Senate confirms him to be defense secretary. While Hagel, who was twice wounded, suggests caution when using military force, he also adopts a hard line toward Iran. His nomination hearings begin Thursday. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais.

Latest poll by Századvég: Jobbik support is stable
Read more!
According to a latest poll by Századvég, in July Fidesz still leads among decided voters by 41 percent support; the socialist party has 24 and Jobbik 21 percent support. The fringe parties, LMP or the Gyurcsanyist party are a bit above or below the 5 percent threshold limit necessary to get any seats in parliament.
46 percent of respondents said that they definitely would participate in a parliamentary elections to be held this Sunday; the poll result shows a slight decrease in electorate activity in July comparing to past month's data. The rate of uncertain voters or those unsure of their party preferences increased slightly in July, currently 43 percent of the respondents belong to this group.

Jobbik success in Szakald by-election, in Balmazújváros Fidesz and Jobbik head-to-headMonday, July 30, 2012
Read more!
In Szakald by election on Sunday both Jobbik candidates have been elected into the municipal council; in addition, among all running candidates Jobbik representative László Bíró received the most votes. The other winning Jobbik candidate is János Farkas Jr.
In Balmazújváros, independent candidate Győri Erdeiné Csilla won the election, however, Fidesz and Jobbik finished virtually head-to-head behind the winner by winning 23 and 21 percent of the vote.
The election outcome clearly refutes those who are suggesting that Jobbik support in Borsod County is slipping. The result indicates that Jobbik support in Borsod County remains strong, despite the anti-Jobbik propaganda by the media aiming to confuse voters. The by-election result shows that the Hungarian people clearly feel that only a radical party can offer real alternative to the 22 years of globalist rule.

Judoka Hedvig Karakas finished fifth overall in her weight class in London by competing with an injured leg
Read more!
The other medal favorite, Hedvig Karakas lost her bronze medal fight in the 57 kg weight class against French judoka Automne Pavia and finishing fifth overall at her first Olympic tournament.
"I feel fantastic about my fifth place, because when I got injured, it was not even sure that I could come to the Olympics. The last time I met the French girl she had an easier time against me comparing to this fight, despite the fact that my leg hurt a lot" said Hedvig Karakas to MTI.
"In my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined that after such a serious injury Hedvig might win a fight. In the training camp in mid-June she suffered a muscle tear, which is in an optimum case takes about two and half months to heal. Hédi is the miracle of will, in a sense that she managed to compete with such an injured thigh muscle, despite the fact that she was hurt a lot." said the doctor of the Hungarian team in London Dr Péter Hidas.

Csanád Szegedi resigns from all his positions in Jobbik
Read more!
The smear campaign that uses my personal situation to slander Jobbik compelled me to take one of the most difficult decisions of my life writes Szegedi in a statement released to the press.
Since 2003, I have been dedicating all my energies to the party that I consider my own child and to the service of the nation; my today's decision has been motivated by the very same commitment.
Effective immediately, I resign from all my posts and functions in Jobbik. I resign as the head of Jobbik Szerencs organization and as the chairman of Jobbik Borsod-Abaúj-County organization as well as from the National Caucus; to prevent further attacks against Jobbik by enemy forces I pause all my domestic political activities and I continue my work solely as a member of the European Parliament writes Szegedi.
I ask those who are affected by the smear campaign against me to remember me as a person who worked diligently for the nationalist cause rather than what the liberal mainstream media suggests. Remember the "Árpád-striped" flag mission, the "Rovásírás" city sign campaign, the innumerable public forums that I held, the founding of the Hungarian Guard and the numerous demonstrations we have held together. Remember me as an activist that was able to inspire enthusiasm into the national radical camp in the most difficult times of our struggle for recognition.
Although, I feel enormous sadness because of my decision, I will always remember Jobbik as a party that is formed by great Hungarian patriots writes Szegedi.
(jobbik.hu – hungarianambiance.com)
(Notes: Hey, Csanád! Cheer up! This is not the end of the road. You can always come back later, just stay away from public attention for a few years -- by then, we will live in an altogether different world, anyway. After all, you have done nothing wrong and all the good things you have done during those years far outweigh some of the small mistakes you made in a confusing situation.)

The organizers of Kurultaj want to erect a monument for our ancestor, Attila the Hun
Read more!
The Turán Foundation wants to erect a large scale monument to King Attila in central Budapest, Hungary. The organization launched a signature campaign to garner support for the project.
Zsolt András Bíró, the chief organizer of Kurultaj said the Hun-Hungarian kinship is an issue, which has scientific and sociocultural significance as well. The Hun-Hungarian kinship needs to be researched as it carries scientifically justifiable elements. But regardless of the outcome of the debate, it is undeniable that the ancient Hungarian history carries elements of consciousness that are based on the theory of the Hungarian-Hun kinship; our history and our chronicles consider King Attila as the founder of the ancient Hungarian dynasty said Bíró.
"We are talking about one of the world's most dominant leaders who redrew the contemporary map of Europe and of power relations, who is resting in Hungarian soil; many distant people (especially in the east) are claiming Attila as their ancestor even if he never even visited most of those countries, yet they erect memorials to him. Even if we wouldn't have anything to do with the great Hun warrior, we should still remember him as he lived most of his life in this country." said Bíró.
Building a monument would be a gesture to all the people who are also claiming that the Huns are their ancestors. With such a gesture, we could demonstrate our solidarity with those people and pay tribute to our common origin; we must show to the world that we haven't forgotten our cultural roots, our ancient legends and traditions.
"At this point in time, there is a strong support for such a memorial among the Hungarian public. The monument would be also an investment that only increase the prestige of our capital and it would have a beneficial effect on tourism as well," said the head of the Turán Foundation.
Zsolt András Bíró asked all Hungarians who are committed to the spiritual and moral renewal of the country to join the initiative and be part of the project that aims to re-conquer our past. Let's rise to the occasion and be brave enough to realize the dream of many generations -- raise a lasting memorial to one of our history's greatest figures King Attila said the chief organizer of Kurultaj.

Seems as if I am failing somewhat in this blog.....I'm trying to be informative and maybe stepping a bit too lightly, trying to avoid really saying anything that might offend my fellow braziers.....err, whatever you call 'em. This is the internet afterall and I read a lot of completely insulting rubbish all the time , some of it being passed off as infomation when its just another butthead letting off steam or reacting to a fellow butthead letting off steam. O.K., buttheads, react to this. The following is what I really wanted to say in this blog but it has taken me a few weeks to really arrive at the proper headspace to spell it out and no, I'm not drunk. I decided to do this one stone cold sober......."How to not be a successful framebuilder" by the overopinionated one hisself. # 1, Tell people that they will get their frames in 4-5 weeks when you know damn well that it is an impossibility. Being a little late is normal and people expect this of our craft.....its almost unnatural and possibly against some code we all adhere to to actually deliver something on time. My gripe is with the folks that say 4-5 weeks and the frame hasn't been delivered and its now 9 months. Shame on you.......hey, if something traumatic happens in your life and you can't get the thing done, that is acceptable-as long as you have informed the customer of such and don't give them the " Its still at the painter" bullshit. # 2, Telling folks that you have a two year waiting list when you have 5 frames on order. How unbelievably moronic......trying to gain prestige from a ficticious work load.......spare me. You either have the work or you don't. Be truthful and that will actually sell more of your frames . # 3 , Talking down some process or some material that you have not even a micron of a clue about.......this is prejudice and it serves only to magnify and spread your own ignorance. It actually shows class to admit you are not informed about something and would reserve comment on it until you gain such information. I myself have trash-talked stuff that I now rely on for my daily livelyhood......boy, was I an idiot. #4, believing that you have arrived at the top of the heap, the king-the master of your craft. This is for other people to decide, not you. If they say it is so, all the nicer for you. If you state it yourself, the gods of flame will surely set your pants on fire when you least expect it and burn your ass right down.# 5, don't return peoples calls and/or emails in a timely fashion , especially folks who are waiting for frames. What can I say about this that isn't obvious to any person of average intelligence ? I guess maybe the folks who can't get this are not the sharpest minds of our time. #6 , Not respecting customer requests........ahem, who is paying your rent ? Think about it......when someone hires you to build a frame they not only put thier trust in you to do a good job but also to build them what they asked for. Trying to talk someone out of what they want or changing specifications of the frame without telling them means that you are the wrong guy for this particular customer. I'm not talking about a customer who asks for utterly rediculous stuff, those are folks that should be avoided anyway. And now for the final insult.......#7, Putting on fancy trim that actually makes the frame weaker. Yeah, I know all of that stuff looks so cool and it sells like hotcakes but come on, what are we building....bicycles or wall hangings ? Nobody will listen to me about this stuff as I'm probably not the most convincing or reputable person to be addressing this but I have seen lots of overcooked and compromised tubes and my fear is that some people in a few years will be left with some really super awesome looking bike that broke an is rendered useless. Don't get me wrong, there are some uber-fancy bikes that will conceivably last forever built by a few folks that have the structural strength of the frame formost in thier minds. Building such a frame is a feat and truly approaches fine art. O.K., have I pissed some of you off ? Good, now return the favor and do the same to me.
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Don't take this personally......o.k., go ahead.

U.S. construction spending fell in November for the first time in eight months, as an extended bout of weakness in the business sector outweighed modest growth in outlays on residential projects.
Continue Reading Below
Construction spending dropped 0.3% to an annual rate of $866 billion, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected a 0.6% gain.
Businesses have shown signs they are holding back on investments because of worries over federal austerity plans, and the construction data could be another sign of flagging confidence.
Private spending on nonresidential projects slipped by 0.7%, the fourth decline in six months. Spending on private residential projects, however, rose 0.4%, a reflection of the country's improving housing market.
Home building likely added to economic growth in 2012 for the first time since 2005, although the housing sector remains a shadow of what it was before the 2007-09 recession.
Public sector construction spending fell 0.4%. State and local spending edged 0.1% higher, while outlays on federal government projects - a relatively small component of overall construction spending - declined 5.5%.

In this post, I try to take a look at the amount of embodied carbon emissions, as well as the captured carbon in lumber etc, for a an entire house, as well as a very quick comparison of the operating carbon emission to the embodied carbon emissions.
These are somewhat notional calculations for a simplified house. Partly, this is because as soon as we try to be very accurate, we would have to start to get very specific to a particular site and house design, and set of building codes, and the increased accuracy about that particular house wouldn't generalize. And other-partly, it's because it's too much work for a blog post to try to track down the embodied energy of the door-handles. Finally, embodied carbon emissions in building materials are sufficiently variable and uncertain that there isn't any point in trying to be super-precise about anything else. So here, I just confine myself to the main structure of a simplified house, built in a somewhat generic North American style. Still, I think I've been comprehensive enough to capture the main components of the house.
This post will consider a reference house using fairly conventional construction techniques. Then in future posts I can use the same spreadsheet to consider variations. Commenters should feel free to chime in with corrections.
The assumptions for this particular model house are as follows:
- 45'x29' internal dimensions of the house, with two stories above ground.
- Full basement, with eight foot high, 12" thick poured concrete walls on a 2'x1' footing, and with a 4" thick basement slab
- 2x6 walls, 24" centers, with R-18 fiberglass insulation in the cavity, drywall on the inside, 3/4" OSB sheathing plus 1" of rigid foam insulation (R-5) and 1/2" clapboards on the outside.
- Partition walls of 2x4 plus drywall on either side that run fully across the middle of the house in both directions (essentially cutting each floor, and the basement, into four equal size rectangular rooms - obviously this is particularly simplistic floor plan, but stands as a proxy for all the infinite variations of real floor plans).
- Floors with 2"x10" joists, plus 3/4" OSB subfloors and 1/2" hardwood flooring.
- 2"x10" rafters, with R30 insulation between them.
- Asphalt shingles, on the 8:12 pitch roof gable end roof, with an 2' all round overhang.
Some things that are currently neglected:
- Furnishings and appliances
- Windows are assumed to be similar in embodied emissions to the wall that would be there without them
- Emissions associated with construction professionals traveling to the site (don't fly in an architect from the other side of the country repeatedly!)
In particular, the embodied energy in lumber is dominated by transportation energy, so it's tremendously advantageous to source lumber close to the house to reduce its embodied energy.
Also, I break out the sequestered carbon in the lumber separately, since it's controversial whether or not you should take credit for it or not. Traditionally, I think a lot of environmentalists viewed cutting down trees to put the lumber in houses as basically raping the earth and bad per se. I guess I would tend to concur if the lumber in question was coming from the remaining old growth redwoods or virgin tropical forests (complete with hunter-gatherer inhabitants).
However, from the standpoint that climate change is the biggest overarching threat to all ecosystems everywhere, it seems to me that sequestering carbon in tolerably managed secondary forests and then putting it into buildings for an extended period (the longer the better) is basically a good thing. It beats burning the wood and putting the carbon immediately back into the atmosphere anyway.
Given the above, the overall embodied carbon emissions and sequestered carbon for "v1.0" of my model looks as follows:
As you can see, the sequestered carbon in the conventional house offsets a sizeable fraction of the embodied emissions. (In my view, especially in my region where trees are growing like weeds, the right column is basically "good" and can be viewed as offsetting the "bad" in the left column). Indeed, if one were to a) skip the basement, and b) locally source the lumber, you could probably have a conventional house that sequestered more carbon than had been emitted to manufacture the materials.
As several commenters pointed out in earlier posts, these numbers are small compared to what the house will likely use during its life. If we take this graph:
for average direct residential energy use, which comes from this post, we can see that the average household uses 100 million btu per year, which probably comes to carbon emissions of around 2.5 tonnes/year - again with an uncertainty of a few tens of percent depending on the mix of fuels etc. So amortized over the 30-300 year life of building components, the embodied or sequestered emissions will only be a few percent of the total used.
Still, they are probably particularly important right now, as the sooner they go into the atmosphere (or come out of the atmosphere), the longer they will have to influence the climate during the critical twenty-first century.
Finally, for anyone who wants to double-check the details, here they are: dimensions in feet, densities in kg/cubic feet, and emission/sequestration coefficients in kg carbon/kg material, and total emissions in tonnes of C. Click to get a version big enough to read.

They dig him out but he says that it will just happen again since he gets covered with leaves every single day. Rosita suggests that they try to figure out which tree the leaves are coming from by taking a leaf that fell on Stinky and comparing it to leaves on some of the surrounding trees to find a match. D

WORCESTER, Mass. - Jimmy Bartolotta scored a game-high 24 points and added a game-best nine rebounds to lead MIT to a 68-67 victory over Clark University at the Kneller Athletic Center, Wednesday night. The Engineers led by seven with just over a minute left, but behind an enthusiastic home crowd, the Cougars scored the final six points of the tilt. Dominique Beck had a good look from three-point range in the final second, but his shot caromed just off the rim as MIT escaped with the key conference win.
The Cardinal and Gray shot 62.5% from the floor in the second half and 54% for the night, while dominating Clark (7-9, 1-4 NEWMAC) on the glass. The win snapped a two-game slide and enabled MIT (9-9, 3-4) to once again level its season record.
Wednesday's first half featured five ties and nine lead changes, with neither team able to extend the advantage past six. The Cougars scored the first five points of the game, but MIT stayed in front the final nine minutes of the frame. A lay-up by sophomore Brandon Suarez at 6:43 gave MIT a 26-20 lead, although Clark rookie Mark Alexander quickly sliced the margin in half with a three from the wing. Senior Alex Krull finished the first-half scoring with two more points in the paint as the Engineers went to the locker room ahead, 30-26.
MIT's decisive advantage in the paint proved to be a critical difference in the NEWMAC battle. The Engineers out-rebounded the Cougars, 39-25 and out scored Clark in the post, 46-20.
Tech attempted to pull away early in the second half and after a lay-in by freshman Erich Bracht at 15:15, the Engineers found themselves in front, 41-31. During the ensuing three-minute stretch, Clark sliced the advantage to two after connecting on a pair of shots from beyond the arc and converting two attempts from the free-throw line. The Cougars finally tied the contest after a jumper by Peter Normandin knotted the score at 55-55 with just over six minutes left in regulation.
"I was glad that we were able to stay committed to our offense," noted assistant coach Oliver Eslinger. "Clark is explosive and can score in bunches. We were proud to see our guys respond and make some crucial plays of our own."
Krull connected on a critical three with just under three minutes on the board to push the Engineers ahead, 64-61. MIT added four points from the charity stripe, before Clark's last-minute rally.
Bracht added 13 points and eight rebounds to the MIT totals, while Krull chipped in 11. Normandin scored 16 to pace the Clark attack. Alexander (13) and Beck (11) also added double-figures, although the trio was unable to prevent Clark from dropping its fourth straight.

He wondered if he should give it up. Opportunities proved null.
"I felt a lot of doors were being shut on me personally as a conductor," said Yoon Jae Lee, the multifaceted musical director of the Old York Road Symphony.
Instead, it was around that time in 2004, when he wondered if maybe he ought quit, that Lee founded the New York City-based Ensemble 212. Its goal is to promote classical music by connecting emerging young professionals.
"If I wasn't going to get opportunities elsewhere, I'd have to form them on my own," said Lee from New York, during a recent telephone interview.
For Lee, his work with the Ensemble and outside of it is about finding a new voice in classical music. That means for himself as a composer, conductor, arranger and pianist, and the way he interprets music. As an arranger, flirting with the original score in new ways that stay true to the old way is the goal; as if in subtle homage.
"I'm trying to find my own voice as a Korean American," said Lee.
In addition to his work with Old York Road, Lee, 34, currently serves as conductor of the City College of New York University Symphony Orchestra, where he teaches, and Wyoming Seminary Civic Orchestra, which is a school in Pennsylvania. He is past conductor of the Youth Symphony for United Nations, and has guest conducted with the New England Conservatory.
The New York Times said, "The lightness of Mahler's original score was everywhere in evidence, with solos leaping out in unusually bold detail," about a 2009 performance of Lee's arrangement of a Gustav Mahler piece performed by a chamber group. "The result was more illuminating than convincing."
What he's doing is new. Maybe sometimes we need things to be illuminated more than we need them to be convincing, like our spirits.
Lee was raised in the theater district in midtown Manhattan. He developed an affinity for classical music as a child while his parents listened to it at home. He earned his bachelor's degree in 2000 from Mannes College of Music in New York, where he focused on a double major in orchestral conducting and piano.
It isn't a stretch to say classical music is not a household item like ketchup is a household item. It's a comment often heard when people talk about the current state of classical music; those trying to keep orchestras' finances afloat say the music needs more exposure.
After Mannes, Lee spent two years doing independent studies at University Mozarteum Salzburg, located in Mozart's home town in Austria. Classical music can easily enough be pinpointed to that area of Europe, in term of its modern development, according to Lee.
Maybe classical music isn't more popular because of the misperception that it is a form created a few hundred years ago in one place. That it's outdated. Regardless of when it was created, there is something about a Bach solo cello piece that seems to contain the secrets of the universe. And it is very much alive. Its mystery is that it brings the dead to life in sound.
Like many of today's young budding classical musicians, Lee envisions a new wave of thought or style in classical music that involves composers and musical traditions from around the world.
At a recent performance at The Stone, an avant-garde performance space in New York City, Ensemble 212 performed a piece by Arab American composer Mohammed Fairouz. The BBC called the 26-year-old the most frequently performed composer of his generation, in a piece it published last summer.
At a more recent performance at The Stone, Ensemble 212 performed an arrangement by Lee of a traditional Korean piece. In the 18th century aristocratic chamber musicians would have performed it with traditional stringed and woodwind instruments.
"I think the new composer is going to bring some of his own heritage into classical music," said Lee, about the future of classical music, and as much about its current state.
Our technologies these days make us as connected as if we lived in one another's homes. But even without wireless devices, New York City has been the place where the world's cultures came to dance and find new partners, so to speak. From clothes to subway maps, it's multicultural, so it's only natural it would extend to classical music.
It's illuminating to think how a cellist raised at home on the twang and meditative dirge of traditional Persian music might interpret the lonely haunt of a cello playing Bach's "1st Symphony in C minor."
Lee, who also teaches at various locations, has used his run at Old York Road, which started in 2008, as an opportunity to feature works created by local composers like Peter Hilliard. He is dedicated to promoting classical music and working towards creating more exposure for the form.
"There's something in me right now that's intellectually growing," said Lee. "It's really hard to put it into words. That's why I prefer to perform the music and let the music speak."

What is a Learning Commons?
A learning commons is more than a library, it's a physical or virtual space that allows students to be engaged and deepen their learning by critically thinking, problem solving, collaborating, innovating and communicating. The goal is to broaden student learning beyond the classroom and community. For more information, visit the Alberta Education website.

The Doors L.A. Woman was the first Doors record to feature a bass player, Jerry Scheff, who was one of Elvis Presley's backing musicians. No one here gets out alive, man.
