FARGO – Last summer, Angela Boser's son Daniel was born shortly after her father's funeral.
"It was bittersweet because I know my dad really wanted to meet the baby," the Fargo woman says.
The newest member of the family postponed Angela's grieving process after Michael Olson's painful cancer journey came to an end.
"There are so many ups and downs," she says. "I mean, there are times when you think they're not going to make it another couple days, then they rebound and you think, 'Oh, they're going to be OK.' "
A couple years earlier, a phone call on John Coler's birthday sent his 26-year-old daughter, Whitney, down a similar path.
"The doctors said with a good diagnosis, he could have three to six months to live," the Fargo woman says.
Angela and Whitney both lost their fathers to pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest but most underfunded types of cancer.
"It's very aggressive," Angela says. "And because the symptoms are so vague and can often be attributed to other things, by the time it's actually diagnosed, in the majority of cases, it has metastasized, so it's moved to other organs and it's too late."
The only reason the Colers found out John had pancreatic cancer is because he was in and out of the hospital with liver problems.
"I didn't suspect a thing," Whitney says.
According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, it's the only type with a five-year relative survival rate in the single digits.
"There's no early diagnostic tool like there is for breast cancer or colon cancer," Angela says.
This winter, the Fargo women helped form the Fargo-Moorhead Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Group, which aims to give a voice to those the disease claims.
"At the time they're diagnosed, they're so sick that they're just fighting to live," Angela says. "They can't fight for themselves."
She stresses that it's an action group, not a support group.
"We're really trying to take something that was many times personally devastating and difficult and turn it into something positive and impactful in the community," she says.
Every year since her dad died, Whitney and her family have participated in the PanCAN's annual bike ride in Minneapolis.
Last year, their team raised more than $4,000 to contribute to PanCAN's efforts.
"It's great to go to the Twin Cities to do that ride and to raise money, but to do something local where we are and where my dad was sick was something that was always really important to us," she says.
For both families, life quickly changed after receiving the diagnoses.
"You have to take time to process the information. But you know that time is not on your side," Angela says.
Angela and Whitney, along with their mothers and sisters, made the best decisions they could with the information they had to make the most of the time they had.
"One of the blessings in being presented with information like this is that you have an opportunity to do things and say things that you wouldn't typically do," Angela says.
Michael, who turned 70 12 days before he died, was already retired, but John, who was 49 at the time, quit immediately.
The youth director for Fargo's Hope Lutheran Church for 19 years, John was known for his ability to connect with kids through faith.
"I remember at his memorial, there was one guy in particular that stood up and said, 'I would be in jail if it weren't for John Coler. He saved my life and showed me how to live a better life,' " Whitney says.
Michael taught science at Fargo's Agassiz Middle School for the majority of his career.
The "man of many hobbies" enjoyed passing on his skills to his kids and grandkids.
On his last Thanksgiving, he dug out the rockets he kept in his garage and fired them off with his family.
"Honestly, without this diagnosis, we would have never flown rockets, he would have never shared his information on how to reload (guns), we wouldn't have taken some of those evenings that we had that he was feeling well to go down to the flying field and fly model airplanes with him," Angela says.
On Fourth of July 2010, the Coler kids set off rockets of another kind for their dad.
"Fourth of July was always a really fun holiday for us. He loved fireworks, he loved bottle rockets – he could stand in the backyard by himself for hours just lighting off bottle rockets," Whitney says.
That year, John watched Roman candles light the afternoon sky from his seventh-floor hospital room.
Angela and Whitney have mixed feelings about today's holiday honoring fathers.
"Father's Day is partially a reminder of how lucky I was and partially a reminder that it's over," Whitney says.
Although Michael and John are no longer with their daughters, their influence remains.
As they grow older, Angela will tell her children more about the man who flew model airplanes and helped start the FM Skylarks club.
"He liked to do things with his hands. He was always creating something," she says.
Hearing about her father's impact in the community makes Whitney feel like she has a lot to live up to.
"In a way, he's still a big part of my life and he's still trying to make me a better person," she says.
Whitney carries a permanent reminder on her left wrist – her dad's signature. When he saw the tattoo, he gave it a kiss.
And John's curly-haired dog watches out for her and comforts her every day.
"Ranger reminds me a lot of my dad, and it's really nice to know that a piece of him is still here taking care of me," she says.

Pancreatic cancer at a glance
- Risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include family history of the disease, age, chronic or hereditary pancreatitis, smoking, obesity and recent-onset diabetes.
- Pancreatic cancer may cause only vague symptoms that could indicate many different conditions within the abdomen or gastrointestinal tract.
Symptoms include pain (usually abdominal or back pain), weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), loss of appetite, nausea, changes in stool, and diabetes.
- Treatment options for pancreatic cancer are limited. In adenocarcinoma, the most common type of pancreatic cancer, surgical removal of the tumor is possible in only approximately 15 percent of patients.

Grand Prix of St. Petersburg loses Honda as main sponsor10/18/13Business
ST. PETERSBURG — Honda has unexpectedly pulled out as sponsor of the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, a stunning move that has race organizers scrambling for a new one just five months before the race.
Honda, which had sponsored the race for nine years, pulled out last week, race president Tim Ramsberger announced Friday.
"To say we're surprised is an understatement," Ramsberger said. "It's a tough thing to experience but I don't think it'll damper the race. It won't affect us going forward."...
Grudgingly, St. Petersburg High moves to an early-morning graduation at the Trop10/18/13K12
ST. PETERSBURG — Declan Abernethy first visited St. Petersburg High School's Stewart Field at age 2. His father, then an English teacher, often carried him to home football games.
"I grew up there," he said.
Abernethy — now a 17-year-old senior — was outraged by the school's recent decision to move graduation to Tropicana Field, breaking an 88-year tradition on Stewart Field's hallowed ground. So he started a petition Tuesday and began gathering signatures....
Hiccup girl Jennifer Mee denied new trial10/17/13Courts
ST. PETERSBURG — Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Nancy Moate Ley on Thursday denied "Hiccup Girl" Jennifer Mee's motion for a new trial after she was found guilty last month of first-degree murder.
Mee's lawyers claimed Ley erred in matters of jury instructions and said new evidence had surfaced about a key witness in the case. But, according to the judge's order, "the defense could not produce a single witness or piece of evidence to support the allegations."...
Teens enjoy 'Evening Under the Stars' at All Children's Hospital10/12/13 Human Interest
Audra Dick started Saturday like any other day, with vitamins and steroids and oral chemotherapy.
She brushed her light brown, shoulder-length hair — thinned by the drug regimen — and imagined it in loose waves. Or an up-do.
Like many high schoolers, the 17-year-old was getting ready for her homecoming dance. There would be a red carpet, a photo booth, pink punch and white rose corsages. Limos would be parked outside, while a DJ spun Top 40 remixes inside....
Fans root for Rays in an array of ways10/08/13 Human Interest
ST. PETERSBURG — She painted her nails blue, fastened her "TB" earrings and slid her right hand into the lucky cat puppet.
Janet Newberry Howe, 60, donned her Trop uniform Tuesday evening to cosmically support a Tampa Bay Rays' win.
"I was wearing this when we came back from 7-0 two years ago," she said, waving the "D.J. Kitty" glove. "Now I bring him to every game."
Newberry Howe, who runs a St. Petersburg antique shop, said her mother was a Rays season ticket holder. She has long loved the team, the underdogs. In 2011, after Evan Longoria hit the game-changing home run, a Sports Illustrated photographer snapped her pumping D.J. Kitty into the air....
Acute hysteria, ugly reality of Beanie Babies10/02/13 Human Interest
My first Beanie Baby was Snort the Bull. He perched on my Chicago grandparents' television in 1997, a wee homage to Michael Jordan's then-untouchable basketball team.
He was, to 8-year-old me, a symbol of hometown and family and comfort. He was there when we gathered to watch NBA championships and Space Jam. He was there to greet me when, years later, I visited from Indianapolis. He was a memory I could cuddle. ...
Pinellas GOP official says he won't resign after cancer comment10/01/13Local
ST. PETERSBURG — Though GOP officials are calling on him to step down, Pinellas Republican Party state committeeman Dan Tucker said Tuesday he refuses to resign after his Facebook comment about County Commissioner John Morroni's health drew local vitriol.
"They're going to have to kick me out," he said.
Last week, Tucker posted via social media a disparaging remark about Morroni's decision to endorse Darden Rice, a Democrat, for St. Petersburg City Council....
Two dead in Clearwater after personal watercraft collides with tour boat09/28/13Accidents
CLEARWATER — Two people on a personal watercraft died Saturday evening after colliding with a tour boat near the Clearwater Memorial Causeway bridge.
Around 6:10 p.m., about an hour before sunset, a 51-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman on a rented personal watercraft crashed into a double-deck tour boat on a dolphin-sighting cruise, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which is investigating....
Pinellas GOP official's cancer comment on Facebook stirs outrage09/27/13Politics
ST. PETERSBURG — Pinellas Republican Party State Committeeman Dan Tucker disagreed with County Commissioner John Morroni's decision to endorse Darden Rice, a Democrat, for St. Petersburg City Council.
After someone shared an article about the endorsement on Facebook Thursday, Tucker replied: "Doesn't he have cancer of the brain … hmmm?"
The comment, referencing Morroni's battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, outraged some Tampa Bay officials. ...
St. Pete council passes budget — but not without debate09/26/13 Local Government
ST. PETERSBURG — The City Council voted 5-3 Thursday to adopt a new city budget that will grant a slight raise to city employees for the first time in four years
The pay increase — 2 percent is on the table — will apply to all workers in the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, officials said.
But a $300,000 expenditure change elsewhere provoked argument.
Council members Jim Kennedy, Bill Dudley and Leslie Curran dissented, disagreeing with a seemingly last-minute decision to amend Mayor Bill Foster's $211 million general fund proposal by allocating an additional $100,000 to the city's after-school internship program, $20,000 to social services and $180,000 to be potentially split among neighborhood and street revitalization projects at a future workshop....

ST. PETERSBURG — The "hot now" light is on.
The newest store in the Krispy Kreme chain officially opened at 6 a.m. Thursday at 9100 Fourth St. N.
About 75 people had lined up by the time the doors were unlocked for a chance at free doughnuts. Fifty of the first to enter earned a free dozen every month for a year. The first in line, Richard Coley, 61, will get a free dozen every week for the next 52 weeks....

ST. PETERSBURG — The man in aviator spectacles, black basketball shorts and a Chick-fil-A T-shirt reclined in his fold-out chair and flipped lightly, leisurely through a spy novel.
Four hours had passed since Richard Coley, 62, arrived outside Krispy Kreme's newest store at 9100 Fourth St. N on Wednesday.
He was relaxed, ignoring his digital watch. Enjoying the unusually cool breeze on this late September evening, the clean smell that comes after days of rain. ...
Two children pulled from submerged car near Sawgrass Lake Elementary09/24/13Accidents
ST. PETERSBURG — The stay-at-home mother was walking her 7-year-old son home from school Tuesday, a daily trek of about three blocks, when she heard tires screeching. A piercing crash. Someone screaming.
Michele Mason, who lives on 17th Way N, told her boy to go inside. She ran to the canal near 1735 77th Ave. N and saw two cars submerged. One had flipped over and sank upside-down in the murky water, which was about 6 feet deep. A 9-year-old boy bobbed near the wreckage....
Largo woman dies three weeks after being struck on tandem bicycle09/21/13 Public Safety
ST. PETERSBURG — The doctors said she may never wake up. But if the young woman opened her eyes, she would not recognize her loved ones. She could not kayak or bike with the sea breeze or teach the Bible to children at summer camp.
So, on Friday night, 27-year-old Hilary Michalak's family gathered in her hospital room to say good-bye.
"I'll always have two sisters," the youngest, 23-year-old Mallory, told her. "I love you."...

Texas Rangers players in the dugout slap their knees, laughing.

No, it's not the same when the ground you're entrenched in has got "United States" written across it on the map. No, it's not the same either, when you're evacuating your neighbors next door rather than promoting propaganda on the other side of the Prime Meridian. And no, it's definitely not the same when the air strike you just called in is carpet-bombing a quaint slice of suburbia that could've been cut from a Thomas Kincaid canvas.
It's the late 1980's, the "Star Wars" program is in full swing, and it looks like in this alt-history scenario that the Berlin Wall isn't coming down anytime soon. World in Conflict's mantra is "War is coming home." But not only that, war is hitting home. It's hitting home in the port city of Seattle, Washington, where the Seahawks and the Mariners roam. It's hitting home where a National Guardsman can't get his paycheck sent to his wife and kid because, even as our nation's borders are collapsing, bureaucratic red tape is holding strong. And the scenarios are hitting home as these personal vignettes -- beautifully directed, as well as nostalgically-narrated by Alec Baldwin -- tell the tales of U.S. soldiers alternately building character under fire, or withering under pressure. These stories aren't just hitting home, they're hitting homeruns.
And it's these emotional differences that set World in Conflict on such a high shelf. Yes, the topography is faithfully recreated, the military units are realistically rendered, and the pyrotechnics are face-meltingly gorgeous. Producer Massive Entertainment used a masterful brush to paint all of those things. But it's the steaming, fresh-from-the-oven American apple pie that elevates the onscreen action to such an affecting level.
Gamers have defended Middle-earth in countless iterations of Lord of the Rings, invaded Azeroth in real-time strategies and massively-multiplayer affairs, and even reshaped the United States' infantile footsteps by way of Age of Empires 3 or even Medieval 2: Total War. Those realistic fictions, however, while providing plenty of scenario-settings for the mind and the eye, don't aim as readily at the heart when propped shoulder to shoulder with World in Conflict. Sure, the brain is a sophisticated piece of circuitry that can tell clear-cut differences between real life and video games. But trust me, it's impossible to declare neutrality in a game that will find something you consciously (or unconsciously) hold sacred as an American, and then puts a laser-guided bomb through its chimney or burns a swath of napalm across its backyard -- all within the first few chapters of World in Conflict's opening.
Following the new real-time strategy model, World in Conflict eschews raw material resource management for strictly military resource management: land, sea, and air units. No trees to cut down, unless you're bowling them over with an M1A1 Abrams tank; no monetary concerns, since calling in a well-timed artillery barrage is worth more than your life in greenbacks; and there's no food to shovel into a warehouse, since MREs will be the last meal most of these soldiers will eat anyway. And don't worry about constructing buildings; your job will involve a lot of the opposite.
You are Lieutenant Parker. Dependable. Calm under fire. Obedient, but speechless. The cutscenes cover up direct facial shots of you, pulling off a pseudo Mr.-Wilson-in-Home-Improvement effect, allowing players to step a little more directly into the protagonist's army boots. Parker is a field commander with the best the U.S. has to offer in grade-A, global domination hardware: light, medium, and heavy tanks; armored troop transports; amphibious vehicles; scout, transport, medium attack, and heavy attack helicopters; HMMWV transports (that's "Humvee" to you, civilian); and don't forget the anti-air vehicles, medium and heavy artillery (love 'em), and the medics of the battlefield, the repair tanks.
The remaining two "factions," NATO and the U.S.S.R., have one-for-one equivalents to everything the U.S. brings to the table. This evenhanded lineup from all three sides keeps multiplayer from turning into the typical rock-paper-scissors matches, and instead keeps battles on a potentially even keel. Multiplayer does show off significant play-style differences depending on which role you specifically engage with: long-range support units, ground-pounding infantry, armor battalions, or air forces. And in those significantly varying approaches is where an armchair commander will want to find their niche specialty. Which flag you fly under is little more than an aesthetic consideration. I personally found that air superiority will devastate the game's bots, simply because the computer was dumfounded (at medium difficulty, at least) in finding ways to improvise, adapt, and overcome four to five heavy Hind Gunships as I slowly called in light armor to capture map waypoints. I had considerably less luck employing the other three roles, however, so it's a matter making opportunities out of what you're good at, and exploiting what the enemy is poor at countering.
In a similar vein to Company of Heroes, securing strategic command points on the field of operations is key in growing your force's capabilities. Place your units into clearly-marked circles on the map to "capture the flag" at that locale. Have your units mark-time and they fortify their location, propping up anti-infantry, anti-armor, and anti-air battlements. These battlements aren't indestructible, but they're invaluable in the added level of defense they provide.
Online gameplay comes with the expected conventions of tracking player and clan profiles, instant messaging, in-game voice chatting, and leader boards. The multitude of maps and military units will turn this into a solid game of online chess for many players in the coming months.
Multiplayer is also a tad overwhelming if a player hasn't pushed through the single-player campaign, since the multiplayer pulls the stops on a huge number of menu options and command capabilities. The single-player branch of World in Conflict, of course, introduces each element at a solid pace, never bringing in too many new aspects at once, and giving the tutorial screens plenty of breathing room.
[For a retrospective, my
first impressions
of World in Conflict were posted last month in the AT&T Blue Room.]
More On:
World in Conflict
From the introductory chapter's loss of Seattle's Space Needle, to Tears for Fears crooning "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" during the credits, World in Conflict is a commendably-crafted game that blends the unrealized fears of Generation X with the realized destructive power of Cold War America, sealed with a kiss by solid, non-resource managed RTS gameplay.

The concept is part of a wider plan to provide opportunities to players who might not otherwise be identified as one of Australian cricket's pathway programs.
The Community Rookie Contracts may comprise of players from rural communities, indigenous backgrounds, low socio-economic areas, and those from non-English speaking backgrounds.
The Development Rookie Contracts will be available to players under the age of 21 who are eligible to represent Australia under ICC eligibility rules or are an approved Australian resident.
Players will not be part of their BBL team's squad of 18 players, but they can be signed as a replacement player in the event of an injury to a squad member.
Cricket Australia General Manager Operations Mike McKenna said this was a fantastic chance for the BBL and teams to unearth players who could potentially go on to represent Australia in all forms of the game.
"These 16 rookie contracts will expose some talented young cricketers to high performance environments they perhaps would have not normally had the chance to experience.
"The contracts will be offered to players not currently in cricket's pathway system, whether that be through their lack of resources, or coming from a remote area or diverse background where exposure to top level cricket has not traditionally been readily available.
"Our National Talent Manager Greg Chappell will work very closely with the State Talent Managers to identify players that fit the criteria.
"Rookies will train with their BBL teams, take advantage of their facilities, coaching and support staff. This is a chance for teams to contribute to the identification and development of the next generation of cricketers.
"Ultimately our goal is to see some of these rookies develop into the future stars of Australian cricket and one day watch them walk onto a Test arena wearing the Baggy Green.
"As we head into summer and start preparing for cricket season, this initiative will hopefully inspire budding cricketers to pick up a bat or ball, sign up at a club and play cricket," Mr McKenna said.
The awarding of all rookie contracts will be subject to CA approval.

Peggy Shaw Returns to the Stage in RUFF at PS122's COIL Festival, Now thru 1/19
Legendary actor, producer and playwright Peggy Shaw triumphantly returns to the stage in the world premiere of Ruff. Presented by Performance Space 122 (PS122) and Dixon Place as part of PS122's eighth annual COIL festival, Ruff pays tribute to the host of crooners, lounge singers, movie stars, rock and roll bands and eccentric family members who have kept Shaw company, living inside her, for the past 68 years. Guided by longtime collaborator Lois Weaver, Shaw throws off the stigma of age and embraces the joy-and necessity-of creating new work, post-stroke, aided by new technology and even deeper courage. Shaw is the recipient of the 2011 Ethyl Eichelberger award.
Performances of Ruff will take place today, January 10-19, 2013 (see schedule above) at Dixon Place (161-A Chrystie Street in Manhattan). Tickets, which are $20, are available online at ps122.org/coil and by phone at 212.811.4111.
Ruff is humorous, musical, and wise. It is also a lament. After her stroke, in 2011, Shaw was given a new perspective on the characters that have populated her work, including those that have disappeared into the dark holes of her brain. But more importantly, and more liberating, Ruff is a celebration of filling that blank space with new insights and Shaw relishes the opportunity to share them with her favorite confidants-the audience.
Performed and co-written by Shaw, and directed and co-written by Weaver, Ruff features choreography by Stormy Brandenberger, music and sound design by Vivian Stoll, lighting design by Lori E. Seid and set and media design by Matt Delbridge.
Peggy Shaw (co-writer, performer) is a performer, writer, producer and teacher of writing and performance. With Lois Weaver, she co-founded Split Britches and the WOW Café in NYC. She has received three OBIE Awards, the 1995 Anderson Foundation Stonewall Award, and The Foundation for Contemporary Performance Theatre Performer of the Year Award in 2005. A collection of her solo performances, A Menopausal Gentleman, edited by Jill Dolan and published by Michigan Press, won a 2012 Lambda Literary Prize for Drama.
Lois Weaver (co-writer, director) is Professor of Contemporary Performance Practice at Queen Mary University of London and an independent performance artist, director and activist. She has performed, directed, and written with Peggy Shaw since 1980. Her experiments in performance as a means of public engagement include the development of the Long Table, the Library of Performing Rights, the FeMUSEm and her facilitating persona, Tammy WhyNot.
In addition to their own solo shows, Shaw and Weaver work together in Split Britches, which they cofounded with Deb Margolin in 1981 at NYC's WOW Cafe. Shaw and Weaver have become known for "a long line of smart, thrillingly well-executed performance pieces" (The Village Voice). Split Britches is currently touring with their newest productions: Miss America and Lost Lounge.
Stormy Brandenberger (choreography) is a professor in the Drama Dance Department at Hofstra University and a collaborative choreographer whose modern dance, multimedia collaborations and theater works have toured the U.S. and abroad. She has worked with the Split Britches Company since 1984. Her choreography has been presented at American Place Theater, Cultural Project Theatre, Dixon Place, DTW, Joe's Pub, Ohio Theater, HERE, PS122, Saint Marks Church Performance Space and Urban Stages.
Vivian Stoll (music and sound design) is a musician, audio engineer and music producer. She has created sound and music for five of Split Britches Company's performances. Credits include Laurie Anderson's Big Science, Annabelle Chvostek's Resilience, Penny Lang's Stone & Sand & Sea & Sky, and Rosalie Sorrels's My Last Go Round and Strangers in Another Country, nominated for a 2009 GRAMMY.
Lori E. Seid (lighting design) started her career in the theater as a stage manger, technical director and lighting designer in NYC's downtown club and performance art scene. She has worked with Karen Finley, DANCENOISE, Charles Atlas, Diamanda Galas, Meredith Monk, John Bernd, Penny Arcade, Annie Sprinkle, John Kelly, Blue Man Group, Split Britches, Antony and The Johnsons and Ethyl Eichelberger, to name drop a few. Seid was awarded a Village Voice OBIE, The Theatre Craft International Award and a Bessie -all for sustained overall achievements in theatre. She is an now an independent producer for theatre, film and TV.

I figured out the file that was causing BSODs and now have my Infrared and USB Devices working.
The culprit was USBD.SYS 184.108.40.2062/22.214.171.1246 and the only way to fix it was to replace the file with the Windows ME version. Everyone should take notice if using Infrared devices.
My only backup that involves that file was made on July 31st, 2011, when it was replaced by USBD.SYS 4.90.3000.1. However, almost an year earlier (Sept-Oct 2010) I've been operating a script built by myself which used to create a serial communication with another computer using the COM port(s). Never had any blue screens or other related errors, while USBD.SYS was still in its original 98SE version (4.10.2222), but it's also true I can't prove it was in any way involved in those operations. On the other hand, I can't remember having any issues with the ME version installed after July 2011 either. BlueSoleil bluetooth works, I can transfer files between my 98SE and the old Nokia 2630 phone.
Never had a standard IR device on any computer, dunno how it looks and operates, so I can neither confirm nor deny your experience. The only IR device I had on the 98SE machine was the remote control receiver connected to the K-World TV Tuner and for what it's worth, that thing used to work fine.
From what I see, the ME version of USBD.SYS lists ks.sys as additional dependency, besides NTOSKRNL.EXE and HAL.DLL. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Loew had difficulties (better said, the impossibility of) using USB (wireless/bluetooth?) headphones while trying to use certain (this?) ks.sys-dependent ME library and no version of ks.sys has been of help. Looks like we may be heading towards another dilemma. (sorry for my bad memory, I may be mistaken more or less on this subject)
Off-topic: my bandwidth has been again capped down to ~12kB/s and disconnects every few minutes, so I may not be able to dowload 3.14 until the 20th-21st of this month, not from main server which does not support resume; it was at 25% moments ago and now it started from scratch - that's just wasted bandwidth on the server-side.
(another couple typos, as usual...)

A big problem is that nowadays' BIOS manufacturers removed all possible fine tweaks, leaving the BIOS as a useless picture (mostly in laptops/notebooks but desktop boards too), not a control panel that can (and sometimes has to) be altered. For that reason, most people with recent motherboards/BIOS versions will find it impossible to modify motherboard resources as to properly fit them to older OS versions such as 98/ME.
As a result, some people will never be able to fix their installation, regardless of all the advices, tweaks and patches we might put out here. There will be nothing left to do, other than replace motherboard/videocard/soundcard/etc, if and when possible, and even then, the results may be uncertain.
Therefore, we do our best but occasionally we may fail. Regretfully, there is nothing we can do, in such cases.

Posted 08 January 2013 - 04:03 AM
I've been wondering the same thing for some time now. Perhaps even a VM directly on one of these new super-BIOS'es. Basic hardware would finally become standard; I/O could happen in the background on extra cores; etc.
I'm wondering how good a performance one can get on modern hardware running Win98 in a VM in a stripped down 2000/XP/Linux host? If passable, I guess this could be a solution for modern equipment.. Anyone have experience with this, and if so, have a recommendation for which VM offers the best performance and hardware compatibility? Just curious.
Cheers and Regards
I suggest opening a new Topic because it's only a matter a time before this becomes a major issue!

Thank you very much TmEE for testing. This is the problem me and others have been trying to fix. Now you can use all of the updated USB files in SP3 without problems. In the meantime, always remember to install the USB package from SP3, after that replace the USBHUB20.SYS with the VIA version while already in safe mode. It will make things a lot easier. Everything should load up just fine.
That made it work ! Seems the VIA file works for ATI SB400 USB

SP3 does NOT change or edit any type of users profile. Its a glitch on your end.
I just want to say after I installed SP3 I couldn't access the server( it's XP or later not sure) .My password was changed or deleted all together- not sure. I log on as "administrator" so I can access the server. All I had to do was delete the account and reenter it with the password.

I know "don't mix em",
but did someone actually try to just install this pack ontop of eg. the AutoPatcher?? And what happend??
I mean if it's not working I'd have to reinstall windows anyways...
And in relation to that, can anyone recommend a good free (hdd-, OS- or whatever)-backup-software for this old OS?!?
And one more: Could this help me with the "GIMP-bug", I just posted? I mean is there the potential...actually it was already working without this pack in the past, but anyways..
If I'm not completely wrong, this pack is as good as complete now!? So what's about adding some diagnostics-software, or other system-software to it? Personally I don't have problems with 3rd-party stuff, but even the ms-related things are not bad.. like eg. the Process-Explorer.

I also had Microsoft L2TP/IPSec VPN Client 1.0 added but it hangs during installation so I removed it. It uses InstallShield and I used it with silent command and it still hangs
Anyone that has been having sluggish, slow, system incompatibilities, BSODs, crashes, lockups etc... due to the newer files [NT/ME/2000/XP/Vista/Win7], please post here . In the meantime, I'll continue adding the latest/newest compatible files because my system rocks with them and I'm sure yours do toooooooo. Enjoy the SP

MOBO on that PC died. Got a new 98 compatible MOBO as I have to keep using Win98. - AsRock 775i65G R3.0 - New build, by myself - So far, so good. I'm pretty impressed/happy !
Just have 1 question and and my personal installation findings/comments.
Q: Why is it mandatory to remove all USB stuff in Safe Mode after installing usbstack.exe (just personal curiosity)
Installation findings/comments: All installs were on a fresh formatted test 8 Gb partition. Win98SE and all factory drivers installed. No conflicts or unknown devices in Device Manager noted.
Installed main updates only & restarted. Then I installed usbstack.exe and rebooted. Quite by accident, F8 key did not bring up boot menu to boot to safe mode so I just decided to let it proceed to see what would happen.
New hardware was detected and installed. It was all USB stuff but I didn't write it/them down. When asked if I wanted to keep newer versions of files to replace, I always chose keep newer file. PS/2 mouse was still needed after a certain point.
When I rebooted, the only device not recognized or installed was HID mouse. I was able to update driver (in device manager) with a file in Windows/Inf folder. After reboot, SUCCESS, SUCCESS, SUCCESS !!! Device manager was free of
conflicts and everything appears to work & FAST !. I'm still testing and have been using for many hours with no problem/issues so far. All my USB sticks are recognized & usable. Haven't tried any other USB devices yet.
I DO NOT recommend that anyone follow these/my procedures, they just my personal experiences. This same procedure also seemed to work on another PC of mine. ABIT NF7 w/AMD Anthlon CPU.
If you would like me to test any specific thing or make notes of a fresh install when updating to SP3 & usbstack, I'll see what I can do.
The only thing I happened to notice was the Win Key doesn't pop up the start menu. Win+E, Win+F, Win+R, etc. all work. This is no big deal & I don't know what the issue is. Just an FYI.
I think your about 99.9 % there.
1000 thank yous to you, PROBLEMCHYLD, & all your happy helpers/contributors ! YOU GUYS, (and or GALS) ARE THE BEST !!!
Posted 18 January 2013 - 01:27 PM
Oh no! Not another user with increased system speed and stability. I shall remove all of the the updated files because they serve no purpose. They are just there taking up precious space We can just do it the old fashion Microsoft way instead of the way of the geeks that we are. I'm waiting on at least two people to tell me their system has malfunctioned or slowed down due to updated files. Yes, I'm trolling and I have my reasons. When people learn how to stay in their own lane and get the hell out my way, then I won't have a reason to go at anyone. Thanks again ReK67 for testing and enjoy.
After reboot, SUCCESS, SUCCESS, SUCCESS !!! Device manager was free of
conflicts and everything appears to work & FAST !. I'm still testing and have been using for many hours with no problem/issues so far. All my USB sticks are recognized & usable.
I hope the SP with all the updated files crashes everyone system that download it. Just kidding, I'm in a GOOD mood, so I thought I'll give you guys a hard time. Really though, enjoy and report any issues GOOD or BAD so I can fix them immediately.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 01:45 PM
Some things can stay, some things must be removed, some things are redetected leaving unneeded Registry entries.
Q: Why is it mandatory to remove all USB stuff in Safe Mode after installing usbstack.exe (just personal curiosity)
Determining which requires testing of every possible driver. This is not practical for a general purpose package.
It is much simpler to remove all of them cleanly.
Special situations, such as USB only Keyboard and Mouse, may require different handling, but that would not be part of a standard SP. At least not yet.

Gus Kenworthy claimed a spot on the first-ever U.S. Olympic team for slopestyle skiing Saturday with his second-place finish at the final event of the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix Tour at Park City.
A potent storm at the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix at Breckenridge forced a jury decision to cancel Friday's Visa U.S. Freeskiing slopestyle skiing finals, resulting in wins for Bobby Brown and Keri Herman based on qualifier results.
The nation's leading freeskiing athletes continue the battle for Olympic team spots Jan. 8-12 when the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix presented by The North Face heads to Breckenridge for the third of five Olympic qualification events.
Nick Goepper sealed the top spot and took home the Dew Cup at the first-ever slopestyle skiing Olympic qualifier final at Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships on Sunday.
With just 100 days to go to the Sochi Olympic Winter Games, The North Face unveiled the official 2014 U.S. Freeskiing competition uniforms to be worn by U.S. Freeskiing athletes when the sport makes its historic Olympic debut.

There's very little hesitation when people call Tom Wallisch one of the most electrifying slopestyle skiers in the game. The jibmaster made his start building and hitting jumps back on the bunny hill in Pittsburgh. He eventually made the move to bigger hills, taking his talents west to Park City while attending the University of Utah. After getting his name out with a series of high-octane ski video edits, Wallisch amassed a huge freeskiing following and caught the attention of major ski film companies, who then recruited the progressive skier onto several productions. Wallisch eventually made the transition to competitive freeskiing, winning the Dew Tour overall cup and finishing first in the AFP slopestyle World Rankings in 2010 and 2012. His 2012 campaign featured seven podiums and two X Games medals - gold in Aspen and silver at Euro X – earning him the spotlight as ESPN's Action Sport Athlete of the Year.
The 2013 season challenged Wallisch, who suffered a minor knee injury in early January that forced him to take it easy. But while filming for his own unique movie project, (coming to iTunes in the fall of 2013) he had enough time and strength to win his first FIS World Ski Championship title in Voss, Norway. Keep your eyes on this solid Sochi contender.

Funding and technical assistance from the Center for Prevention will help nine organizations improve the health and livability of communities by increasing access and reducing barriers to physical activity.
EAGAN, MINN. (December 10, 2013) – Safe and convenient places to be active make communities more vibrant, healthy and strong. To support the work of community organizations in creating safe places for physical activity in Minnesota, the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (Blue Cross) is committing more than $1 million in Active Living for All funding. This funding will assist communities as they engage residents and improve places with more walking and biking for everyone, young and old.
The nine organizations that have been awarded Active Living for All funding and technical assistance include:
City of Minneapolis to support preliminary planning and neighborhood engagement to design a greenway through north Minneapolis.
St. Paul Smart Trips and Kitty Andersen Youth Science Center Frogtown Initiative to implement a youth-led outreach program to engage local residents to identify opportunities to make it safer to walk and bike in Frogtown.
Live Healthy Red Wing to strengthen city transportation policies and educate residents to make active transportation and connectivity for bikers and pedestrians an integral part of Red Wing.
City of St. Louis Park to generate resident input, advocacy, and action to advance Health in the Park.
Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition to support Bikeways for Everyone, a collaborative campaign to create a network of bikeways that are safe and attractive for one and all.
Sawtooth Mountain Clinic in Grand Marais to identify short term and long term opportunities that make it safe and pleasant for community members in Cook County to bike and walk.
District Council Collaborative of St. Paul and Minneapolis to support demonstration projects that incorporate design components to encourage walking near two stops along the Central Corridor.
St. Paul Smart Trips Women on Bikes Initiative to make it safe and easy to bicycle in St. Paul through a women-led coalition that works on advocacy, education, and connection.
Get Fit Itasca, Itasca County to develop, maintain, and promote active transportation infrastructure that will better connect the Itasca Community College with surrounding communities.
"Where we live or work is one of the most important factors in determining whether we are healthy or not," said Janelle Waldock, director of the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross. "This funding supports community organizations in the vital role they play to improve public spaces and allow all Minnesotans to maintain their health and quality of life."
Active Living for All funding recipients were selected through a competitive review process which included an initial application, followed by a formal RFP and site visits. Funding will be awarded over the next two to three years depending on the scope of each initiative. Information on these programs and their accomplishments will be updated periodically on preventionminnesota.com.
About the Center for Prevention
The Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota delivers on Blue Cross' long-term commitment to improve the health of all Minnesotans by tackling the leading root causes of preventable disease: tobacco use, lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating. Funded through proceeds from Blue Cross' historic lawsuit against the tobacco industry, we collaborate with organizations statewide to increase health equity, transform communities and create a healthier state.

Diego Maradona takes swipe at former son-in-law Sergio Aguero
You always hear stories about nightmarish in-laws, but what if your former father-in-law is Diego Maradona?
Not a good situation, but it's the position Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero finds himself in. And he certainly isn't in Maradona's good graces.
After a four-year marriage, Aguero and Maradona's daughter, Giannina, called it quits, and it seems that things were less-than-amicable.
Speaking with Argentine radio, Diego called Aguero a "wimp, who I don't even want to name."
For his part, Aguero took the high road when responding to the comments via Facebook:
"It was always clear to me that Benjamin (son) was above everything. I was never, ever okay with my personal life being out in the public eye. This is why I spoke to those close to me, and advised that they refrain from making comments. "
Aguero added: "I never spoke in these topics before. This is the first and last time. I hope everyone understands.
"For everyone's own good and well-being, especially Ben, we need to resolve this in an amicable manner. This is what's worked for me so far, no need to change it up."

Oh my, but this identity works with this example completely? I think I should study all of the identities.... you are incredible, again, bobby!
Why he wanted to? I do not know.
Ok thank you. Don't spend too long on it if it is too much hassle, I do not mind going backwards in the exam

This is one of the writters of the book, you can ask her about a copy. It took me a few minutes to find that information. I hope it proves helpful.
Thanks everyone for your help...I feel it must be a lost cause. I have spoken with the writer and she assures me that there simply are no more copies. She was very sweet and thanked me for contacting her.
Thanks again everyone for your generous and kind help.
BUT...if anyone should come across a copy they would be willing to sell...PLEASE contact me.
Everyone have a great day...It is a rainy day here in the Midwest so it is a PERFECT sewing day :-)
Jackie, you must live further south in the midwest than I do. The sun is trying to poke out here , though the weatherman says the showers should start this afternoon. Ginny
Ginny, I live in Rock Falls, IL. We are a small town in the North West part of IL. We are supposed to have clearing by noon and then a high of 72 with partial clouds. Yay...come on Spring. The flowers will be popping out really soon with the rain. We have about a 60 percent chance of rain every day through Thurs.
Hi Jackie,
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law live in Rock Falls. Small world.
Wow small world indeed :-)
Jackie, Well, no wonder. The sun dissappeared before noon and it started raining here about 12:30- 1pm. It just moved from your area to my area, but it is not going to get that warm here. Now, I just wish it would rain some more. That wasn't enough. LOL Ginny

I need some help with a fault light on Rain Bird ESP-12LX Plus. The light comes on when I have zone 1 on and nothing happens. So I assumed
that the solenoid was bad and I replaced it. Still the same problem. There are two green wires going to zone 1, when I removed the one wire
the zone comes on, however the pump cycles on and off. What does that mean???

MOUNT VERNON The United Way of Knox County, the National Association of letter Carriers, Interchurch Social Services and The Salvation Army are encouraging all area residents to participate in the annual Stamp Out Hunger event.
Stamp Out Hunger is a nationwide collaboration between the NALC, United States Post Office, AFL-CIO, United Way, National Rural Letter Carriers Association, Valpak, Campbells, AARP, Uncle Bobs Self Storage and Feeding America, creating the largest single day of food collection in the United States. Local Postal Service employees are looking forward to making this fourth year the most successful year for Stamp Out Hunger yet, and on Saturday, residents can make a difference.
Sixteen percent of all Americans are at risk of hungeruncertain where their next meal may be coming from. That includes 1 in 5 children under the age of 18, plus 4 million seniors who are forced every day to choose between paying a utility bill and buying food. Though it may not always be apparent, friends and neighbors in Knox County are in need, too. According to Interchurch, more than 24,000 individuals used their food pantries in 2011. Likewise, The Salvation Army is experiencing lower than normal levels in their supplies, resulting in a need for substantial family food products, such as pasta, stews, cereals and canned meats.
Donations of non-perishable foods will be collected at local United States Post Offices. Knox County residents are also encouraged to leave a bag of non-perishable foods by their mailbox prior to collection on Saturday, and a local letter carrier will ensure pick-up and delivery. Additionally, cash or check donations are always accepted, and checks can be made out to either The Salvation Army of Mount Vernon or Interchurch Social Services. These foodbanks purchase food at a discounted rate, making donations go further toward helping feed Knox County.

Stocks closed down nearly 1 percent in a volatile session after the minutes from the last Fed policy setting meeting suggested the central bank is divided on when it may start to pull back on its monetary stimulus.
The market had moved higher earlier in the session when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reiterated that tapering bond purchases will depend on an improvement in the economic data.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 80.41 points, or 0.52 percent, to close at 15307.17. Cisco led the blue chips lower, while Pfizer and Home Depot closed higher.
The last time the Dow was up over 150 points at the session highs, but closed down for the day was March 16, 2009.
The S&P 500 lost 13.81 points, or 0.8 percent, to finish at 1655.35. The Nasdaq dropped 38.82 points, or 1.11 percent, to close at 3463.30. Both the Dow and S&P were up as much as 1 percent earlier in the session.
All 10 S&P sectors fell, with utilities and materials pacing the declines.
Fed Minutes Hint at Tapering
The Fed minutes noted that "a number of participants expressed willingness" to reduce QE as early as the June meeting if the economic data received by that time showed evidence of sufficiently strong and sustained growth. But officials differed about what evidence would be necessary and the likelihood of that outcome, the minutes said.
In his Congressional testimony earlier in the day, Bernanke said the central bank's "intention to maintain highly accommodative monetary policy as long as needed" and that any decision on scaling back bond purchases were possible in the next few meetings depending on an improvement in the jobs data.
Pimco's co-CIO Bill Gross told CNBC, "I think we're looking at a potential tapering in the next few months and probably around September."

Last week, San Francisco Fed president John Williams suggested the central bank could begin hitting the brakes on its easing as early as this summer, sentiments that were echoed by Philadelphia Fed president Charles Plosser and Chicago's regional chief, Charles Evans.
But dovish comments from St.Louis Fed president James Bullard and New York Fed president William Dudley seemed to dampen expectations the Fed could pull back on its bond-buying soon.
JPMorgan Funds chief global strategist David Kelly, told CNBC the Fed should wind down its program, saying QE is too extreme. "The best thing for them to do right now is to talk about an exit strategy to gradually get people used to the idea that rates will go up," Kelly said. "That way people can go adjust away from some of the extremes that we're seeing in markets right now."
The next Fed policy meeting runs June 18-19.
In economic data, U.S. existing home sales data for April rose 0.6 percent to an annual rate of 4.97 million units, the highest level since November 2009.
Strength in Big Pharma
Pfizer said it will spin off its majority stake in animal health business Zoetis to shareholders.
Bristol-Myers was up sharply after Citigroup upgraded the stock to "buy."
Retail Earnings Weak
Lowe's reported quarterly earnings and revenue that missed analysts' expectations, with the company blaming softer sales on unseasonably cool, rainy weather.
Target, meanwhile, reported sales that missed Street forecasts due to the chilly weather.
Home builder Toll Brothers reported quarterly profit of 14 cents per share, seven cents above estimates, as it saw an increase in orders and higher average selling prices.
After the bell, the Street will be focused on earnings from Hewlett-Packard, L Brands and PetSmart.

Sounds like it is your shower head. Take your shower head off and see if there is any delay.
I have a problem with a two handle faucet on a stall shower. Recently neither the hot nor cold water turns on immediately when the handle is opened. There is about a 20 second delay. During that time some small amount of water trickles out and then the water flow suddenly becomes normal. This happens on both the hot and cold sides. The only change I have recently made was to install a washer on the hot side about 4 months ago to correct a drip from the shower head. I removed the valve stem and installed a new domed washer. That fixed the drip. Thereafter the shower worked fine. Now several months later I have this problem with the delay when the handles are turned on. At first the delay was not long, but it has gotten longer over the last month.
It seems to me that after the shower is turned off the water must be leaking out of the line between the shower head and the valve. However, there is no evidence of leakage in the ceiling of the first floor below the shower. I am on a municipal water supply and have excellent pressure everywhere else in the house. I have stopped using the shower until I can figure out what is happening.
The house was built in 1974 and has the original valve and stems.
Sounds like it is your shower head. Take your shower head off and see if there is any delay.
I did take off the shower head and there is still a delay. There appears to be no mineral build up in the shower head. However, just to be sure I bought another one. Same problem occurs.
Is it possible for the water to back out of the pipe to the shower head without there being a leak in the valve? It doesn't sound logical to me. However, There is no evidence of leakage below the shower.
Depending on the valve design, an internal sticky part could do that.

Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
Thanks for your comments. I have come to the conclusion that I have to replace the valve. I have eliminated everything else as the cause. So even though I don't know why it is happening, I am convinced that the valve is the problem.
Check the faucet washers. It sounds like they may be loose or there is a piece of one floating around.

Broadband box 'makes Ilminster uglier' (From Yeovil Express)

Broadband box 'makes Ilminster uglier'
2:30pm Saturday 21st December 2013 in News By Daniel Milligan
A BROADBAND box is making Ilminster look uglier, it was claimed this week.
Peter Lansdown said the box, on the pavement in Ditton Street next to the corner shop, is one of a number of broadband boxes in the town, making it look a mess.
Contractors for BT are installing the boxes as part of a scheme to bring superfast broadband to rural communities across Somerset.
Mr Lansdown, 69, of Chaffcombe, said: "The pavement is wide and they [BT] have installed there a broadband box against the wall.
"There is a blind doorway there and they have put the box in front of the left hand pillar – central or well clear would both have been acceptable but not where it is.
"It is an irritant and there are other boxes in town which in themselves are unimportant but they each contribute to the diminution of the aesthetic quality of the town."
The Government changed regulations in May so broadband providers do not require the consent of the Local Planning Authority to place a box.
Previously, they had to submit notification and get permission.
South Somerset District Council planning assistant Chloe Beviss, in an email to Mr Lansdown, said there were constraints in terms of broadband boxes' proximity to existing boxes and that the council will ensure the box is painted black without any stickers or advertising.
Cllr David Norris, in another email to Mr Lansdown, said he agreed the cabinet could have been sited more sensitively but added: "It would be disingenuous of me to imply that SSDC can control where it is located."
In an announcement last week, Ilminster was not one of the 31 towns and villages to be listed as receiving superfast broadband by March next year.
A BT spokesman said: "This is a major investment in Ilminster, which will make a big contribution to the future success of the town.
"We have three cabinets in the vicinity of Ditton Way and all have been located as planned. All are on the public highway and the correct process has been followed.
"They do not present an obstruction in any way and we feel that our planners have done the best job possible to minimise any visual impact."

If there are, it seems they are being ignored.
What sort of impression does it give visitors?
Come on councillors, deal with it.

St. James the Apostle
Commemorated April 30
Troparion of St. James, Tone 8
As a disciple and soldier of the Lord thou wast ranked among the choir of Apostles together with thy brother, O James, and thou didst cleave wholeheartedly to the Saviour. Armed with the power of the Spirit thou didst preach Him unto all, and wast slain by the sword. Wherefore we honour thee.
Kontakion of St. James, Tone 2
When thou didst hear the divine voice calling thee, O James, thou didst disregard thy father's love and run to Christ with thy brother; together with him thou wast granted to see the Lord's divine Transfiguration.
