PCI Symphony Network Cards
Establish the IP address for the eth1 interface by typing
ifconfig eth1 192.168.4.1 broadcast 192.168.4.255\ netmask 255.255.255.0
Set the Secid for the Symphony wireless segment with the following command:
rl2cfg dev eth1 secidUse the same Secid you used when setting up the notebook above, making sure you type it the same, including upper/lowercase. The Secid needs to be set only once; it is stored on the card in nvram. The rlmod driver versions after 1.5.1 use proxcfg instead of rl2cfg to set parameters for the Symphony card. Check the man page and READMEs.
Now, establish the route for the eth1 interface by typing
route add -net 192.168.4.0 dev eth1
You can check your results by typing ifconfig eth1 and netstat -r. You should be able to see that the eth1 interface is fully configured with its IP address and that there is a route using eth1 to the 192.168.4.0 network.
There is one more configuration command that sets the Symphony card mode to "master" and sets its name. Type the following, using an appropriate name for your server:
rl2cfg dev eth1 msta
If you don't have a firewall running on your Linux system, you should be able to ping the notebook from Linux and ping Linux from the notebook using the IP addresses. You should also be able to telnet to the Linux system from the notebook, again using the Linux server's IP address. If this works, you're just about there; if not, check your log files for errors.
Add a line to the /etc/hosts table on the Linux server, giving the IP address of the notebook when on the wireless subnet, using your domain as appropriate.
192.168.4.2 wnb-dfoxwnb-dfox.
If you don't already have a c:\windows\hosts file with an entry for the Linux server on your notebook from a wired Ethernet configuration, create one now. The pertinent line entry in my c:\windows\hosts is:
192.168.1.254 server1 server1.If you have a firewall running on the Linux server, you will need to add input and output rules for the eth1 interface to allow the packets to be passed. I added lines to these two sections of /etc/rc.boot/masq as shown:
# local interface, local machines, going anywhere # is valid ipfwadm -I -a accept -W eth1 -S 192.168.4.0/24\ -D 0.0.0.0/0 # local interface, any source going to local net # is valid ipfwadm -O -a accept -W eth1 -S 0.0.0.0/0 \ -D 192.168.4.0/24Depending on your Linux distribution and version and whether you are using ipfwadm or ipchains, the location and name of the rules file will vary. Refer to the documentation for your firewall package. At this point, you should be able to ping and use telnet by host name between the notebook and all systems on your original network.
To allow packets to be forwarded to the Internet through the firewall from the wireless segment, you will need to add rules similar to the following:
# Masquerade from local net on local interface to # anywhere ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -W eth0 -S 192.168.4.0/24\ -D 0.0.0.0/0 ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -W ppp0 -S 192.168.4.0/24\ -D 0.0.0.0/0 ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -W sl0 -S 192.168.4.0/24\ -D 0.0.0.0/0
Due to the way diald works, there are rules for both ppp0 and sl0. Remember to restart your firewall rule set after making changes.
Once I had the firewall rules in place, I had full connectivity from the notebook to all local hosts and the Internet. The last service to get working was the Samba sharing from the Linux server. It took a little head scratching, but finally I realized I had a line in /etc/smb.conf that limited which networks had access to the Samba server. Since the wireless segment was new, it needed to be added to the config file, and then Samba needed to be restarted. The revised line in /etc/smb.conf is shown below.
hosts allow = localhost, 192.168.1., 192.168.4.
Once everything is working, you need to add the commands to initialize the wireless eth1 interface on system boot. Debian Linux uses SysV init, so I added the following lines to the /etc/init.d/network file after the eth0 interface section and before the line setting the default route:
insmod rlmod ifconfig eth1 192.168.4.1 netmask 255.255.255.0\ broadcast 192.168.4.255 route add -net 192.168.4.0 dev eth1 \ /usr/local/bin/rl2cfg dev eth1 msta name server1
These lines load the module, configure the eth1 interface, add the route and set the mode to master. Make sure it all comes up on reboot.

Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Happy new year, Patch Readers. I sit here writing this on January 1, 2013, the first day of 2013 and, I will have you know, I actually typed 2013 on the first try, which is pretty impressive for me.
I've been completely unplugged from the cyber world for about a week now, so if there is some major news that occurred in the last seven days, I don't know about it, so please forgive me if I don't make appropriate reference to whatever great thing/tragedy has just occurred. Sometimes it is important for me to do that, for reasons to be explained below.
What I haven't been doing is making New Year's Resolutions. This is my 43rd New Year's Eve on this Earth, 86th if you count the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashonah) which I have celebrated each of these years as well. So I've made about 80 lists full of resolutions that generally don't last past the third of January (or the third of Tishrei).
The truth is that I am old enough that I am me, and I have had an awful lot of life experiences and time to think, and there isn't going to be a whole lot more character development or major personality changes that are going to happen. In theory, there could be some behavioral changes (going to the gym more, eating better, giving more to charity) but really, who are we kidding. In the words of the immortal Popeye, I yam who I yam and that's all that I yam.
So what am I going to do this year that is different? I am going to quit beating myself up for being me.
And here's one thing you need to know about me that you probably don't, and it is something you probably need to know about 1/5th of the people you know and probably don't. I am an Introvert. This surprises a lot of people, because I have a very loud, out there personality, and I'm not shy in the least. I speak in public for a living, and put myself out there in the blogosphere every day.
Let me explain a popular misconception about introverts and extroverts. Shy and friendly have nothing to do with it. It comes to this: extroverts get their energy from being around people. Introverts recharge their batteries by being alone. I am often accused of having a very angry, intense facial expression, even by my own children. The truth is that my neutral, totally slack, not controlling my facial muscles in any conscious way face just happens to look angry and intense. The truth is that I am simply lost in my head, and more often than not I am just blind and deaf to my surroundings in those moments, being completely captured by whatever is being played out in my head.
I need to be alone for periods of time or I become extremely unpleasant to be around. I not only don't want help with most tasks, I actively don't want it because it requires me to get outside of my head. At the end of a tough day the last thing I want to do it go out for a drink with my friends – I want to crawl under my covers and shut my eyes.
As a result, I am thoroughly incapable of working a room. This is something I had to come to terms with last summer when I was running for office. I believe deeply in the golden rule. It sums up everything I believe in – treat people as you would wish to be treated. And so, if I am at a picnic, or a dinner, or at a cocktail party, or a parade, or Publix, and I am talking to my friends or family or absorbed in a task, or generally just minding my own business, the last thing on this planet I want is some person with an agenda coming up to talk to me to press it. So I had to swallow a good bit of bile before being able to walk up to totally innocent, unsuspecting people at the concerts on the square in Monroe who were enjoying a nice summer evening with friends and family to introduce myself because I wanted something.
I know that the vast majority of people are extroverts. And that means that they see someone else and that is another energy source. The explains Times Square on New Year's Eve and the popularity of bars and dance clubs so loud and crowded the only way to think a whole thought is to hide in the ladies' room. The point is that most people really didn't mind when I walked up to them with nothing more interesting to say than, "Look at me! I'm totally awesome and you should vote for me!" I just know I would not like it, and so I didn't want to do it. That whole golden rule thing again.
I spent so much of last summer trying not to be me – to be the life of the party, be everywhere I could think to be, to talk to everyone I could, to shake as many hands as I could stand that I came out of the process exhausted and useless. I promised myself that when it was all over I would give myself permission to just sit in my seat and enjoy thinking my own thoughts, because that was what I really wanted to do. Permission to be me, dadblast it.
Recently, I went to a wedding, where I didn't know a whole lot of the other guests. My husband got up to go to the rest room, and I just sat there, people watching and thinking thoughts I don't generally have time to think when my job consists of constant input from outside sources and I have two children I don't get to see enough because of all my other obligations who are fabulous children, perfect in every way, and absolute energy suckers. I'm so desperate for personal space that I cleared out a corner in our disgusting basement, put down vinyl squares, hung curtains around the space to wall it off, put in a chair and a table and labeled it my "Crazy Hole". Everyone knows not to bother mommy when she's in her Crazy Hole. But I digress. Anyway, that familiar questioning awkwardness that has followed me since high school creeped up at the wedding – what is wrong with me? Why am I just sitting here by myself like a wallflower? Why can't I think of anything to say to these people? Why are they all having fun and not me?
And then I had an Epiphany: Why? Because that's what I want to do. That's why. If I quit thinking about what I think I should be and just embrace who I am, I'm pretty happy. So my sole new year's resolution is this: I plan to stare off into space more often and not feel badly about it. I hope you'll resolve to let me.

Lori - I SO totally agree with you. I. too, am a total introvert and people don't believe me when I say it. I'd rather hide in a corner than go around introducing myself to people I don't know. Go for it baby - and save me a spot in your "Crazy Hole".

Sorry, Wendy, my Crazy Hole has a population of One. But I'd be happy to help you create your own!
6:23 pm on Tuesday, January 1, 2013
So glad to see there's another person on earth who has some of the same personality traits! I, like you, am very much the introvert. However, I work in a profession where I'm required to deal with the public daily. And, I've been rewarded nicely for that ability! However, when I come home at day's end, I'm so glad to enter the security of home, where I can be myself. My family and our pets love me for the introvert I am, but I always have the feeling the real person I am would not succeed in the world outside my home! Thank you Lori!
Lori Duff
6:29 pm on Tuesday, January 1, 2013
You're welcome -- and thank you for your comments! It does help knowing you're not alone. I think there are a lot of us out there, just by our very nature we can't (or won't) bind together and make a stand against the world and its expectations that is structured around extroverts.

I enjoyed this! I love the idea of a change in attitude for so many situations. Know thyself is really important. I think it's also important to note (I myself am this way) that even extroverted people may be introverted in some situations. Even the most introverted person may have times where they crave being around others. Fun article.
Lori Duff
2:05 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
Thanks! It is true -- there are times when I really want to be around people. My son, who is a classic extrovert, likes being alone some times. No one is all one thing or another, it is a matter of degree.
Suzanne Lewis Ship
2:41 pm on Wednesday, January 2, 2013
I love this post! Whenever I feel the most stressed or insecure, it it because I am trying to be someone else, whether it is to try to please a friend or because of some weird idea of what I "should be" doing. Here's to being yourself...after all, no one is better qualified.

Have you worked with asbestos products?
If you worked with asbestos, it is time to learn about its dangers.
Get a free copy of our sourcebook, "Mesothelioma, Lung Cancer, Asbestos Litigation And Your Rights."You may be visiting this Web site page because you worked in an occupation where you were exposed to asbestos products and are concerned about your health. Perhaps you worked with, or close to, people who used asbestos products on a daily basis.
If you spent your working life in a construction trade, in a shipyard, at a power plant, as a firefighter, or for a company that mined or manufactured asbestos products, chances are you were exposed to dangerous asbestos fibers and dust.
How many are at risk?
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), between 1940 and 1980 an estimated 27 million American workers had an occupational exposure to asbestos.
Although the Environmental Protection Agency finalized a ban on asbestos back in 1989, the asbestos industry filed a lawsuit and overturned that rule in 1991. The use of asbestos in some applications is still legal in the United States.
How is asbestos different from other things I breathe in?
Most of the other kinds of dust and environmental pollutants you breathe in are trapped by cilia--the very fine hairs that line the surface of the lungs. Each time you exhale, cough or sneeze, much of the dust and pollutants leave your lungs.
Asbestos dust and fibers are different. When you breathe in asbestos, the fibers become trapped in the airways and lung tissue. Each day you were at work, the amount of asbestos in your lungs increased.
What's my next step?
Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease. If you would like a free consultation or more information about your legal options, please complete the form on this page, and a representative of our law firm will contact you as soon as possible.

Cast on 30. First stitch on each edge is always a knit stitch. Box pattern alternates 2 stitches knit, and 2 stitches purl. On the reverse side you would knit the knit and purl the purl. Box is about 5 rows and then the pattern switches.In other words to switch the pattern and began a different box you would knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches.

100% Peruvian Wool. Cascade 220 brand.
What was your inspiration?
Getting ready for this Holiday Season (Christmas 2011). My Needle Escapades this winter is a slew of wool scarves. To make them each special, I found different stitch patterns from an on-line knit stitch dictionary (guide).
What are you most proud of?
The way this scarf turned out. This was the first time I worked with this stitch.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Find a stitch you want to master. Cast on desired number of stitches for the width you want and then keep going.

When these rings get dirty the spinner stops spinning. It is a very thick band so If you are buying for a woman go with something else.

I was not aware that the celtic knot portion of the ring actually moves around the ring...I am enjoying the ring but the rattling of the center piece is distracting. I am having it fixed immediately.

If you have ever set foot inside a Walmart store, this blog is for you. You will almost certainly fit into one of two categories:
Category 1: You love visiting your local Walmart and have at least one noticeable hygienic issue
Category 2: You have a brain and Walmart's only purpose is to help you save money
If you don't mind, I would like to take a moment to speak to the people in Category 1 before proceeding. Category 1 friends, as much as I appreciate you taking the time to read this, I don't want to get your hopes up. You will not enjoy this blog. This isn't because I'll be calling you out for the asinine behavior you or your cohorts participate in, but because you won't understand anything I'm saying. You and I are not on the same wave length. I don't get you and you don't get me. However, if you would like to assist in bettering the world, please continue reading. Even if you don't see the humor, you might learn something. Let's continue.
When I was little, I loved going to the grocery store. I believe this was partly attributable to the ultimate soccer mom within me. But there was another important reason, of which I didn't appreciate until I was much older. I enjoyed grocery shopping because it was not at Walmart. In fact, we didn't even get a Walmart in Anchorage until 1993, just a few years before we moved to Texas. I always had a good time at the store. I knew that place like the back of my hand. I could help my parents shop with ease, frolicking through the aisles, throwing bags of candy into the cart just as they turned their heads to look the other way. It was a wholesome place. With the exception of that one time I saw people French kissing for the first time, I never left with a colossal sense of bewilderment. This place was nothing like Walmart.
There is only one reason I shop at Walmart: I'm cheap. Actually, that's not an accurate statement. I'm not that cheap, I just can't justify spending outrageous sums of money on staples that I'm going to consume rapidly and repeatedly.
Would you buy a car from a dealership full of normal people when you can cross the street and get the exact same car for less money at the dealership full of morons? No, you would not. You would suck it up for the sake of your bank account. Now, there are certainly times when I'll pay more for quality, but they don't exactly make low-, mid- and high-quality grade Special-K cereal. It's all the same.
I suppose there are a few added bonuses, like not having to shower, wear make-up or shave your legs to go to these stores. Each trip usually provides a decent ego-boost as well, which is saying a lot if you haven't done the three things I just mentioned. Coming here will also make you appreciate the finer shopping establishments. Maybe all the other stores in America formed a coalition years ago in which they created Walmart to drive the crazies away and make themselves look better. Granted, this would not have been a smart move business-wise, but surely it would have helped the store owners maintain their sanity. Speaking of, let's talk about the people at Walmart.
The People
Do you ever feel like you're the only person who notices something happening around you? That's how I feel almost every time I go to Walmart. I often catch myself saying "seriously?!" under my breath or above my breath, depending on my level of frustration, which is directly correlated to the amount of time I've been within 150 feet of the store (I have no idea how far that is).
I seem to lose faith in mankind a little more each time I go. Have you ever seen the movie "Idiocracy?" If you haven't, you should. Actually, just watch the first ten minutes of it. It explains how society is becoming less intelligent with each generation. I couldn't agree more. The main premise of this theory is that intelligent people don't reproduce as quickly as less intelligent people do. The intelligent people tend to spend the majority of their reproductive years going to college and focusing on their careers. When they do have children, they tend to have 1-3. Less intelligent people, on the other hand, often begin their baby-making activities just out of high school and continue having children for years, mostly because they don't seem to have access to adequate birth control. Now, if this were to occur for just a single generation, that would be one thing. But when you consider the fact that the less intelligent people are having more children and at a much younger age across several generations, their population grows at an exponential rate. Meanwhile, the intelligent people are beginning to have less and less children overall, as many of them believe that having kids is no longer a "must." I say all this to support my feeling that I am completely out-numbered when I go to Walmart…and it's getting worse.
I think the government is on to this as well. I think they might be performing research to determine the effects of stupidity of the masses on individuals. You know the security cameras attached to the ceiling? Those aren't just to catch thieves. Those are used by the government to analyze humans' behavior when pushed to their limits. It's similar to a giant rat maze, except this one has many other mice walking around (including the mice that have limited brain power due to a few experiments gone wrong). They're trying to see what the mice (people) will do when they feel trapped in a terrible, terrible place. Will the mice find their way out? Will they start carrying mace (we'll call this "Mouse Mace") out of fear for their own lives?
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the crazy one, because nobody else in the store seems to be experiencing the heartache that I am. Since I'm so nice, I'm always sure to apologize if I accidentally cut in front of someone or realize that I'm blocking them while making some important price comparisons. When I do this, most of the time I receive no acknowledgement of the apology whatsoever. I don't know if they can't hear me or if they're just that unaware. Perhaps they don't speak English, I don't know. Not too long ago I was stocking up on canned goods and dropped a can of corn on my foot. This hurt bad. I screamed a faint scream, but to my amazement, nobody even looked my way. This got me thinking…what would happen if I had a serious medical problem while grocery shopping? Chances are I would lay there unconscious, face down in my cart for days because nobody would think it odd to see such a thing. This fear (among many other fears) supports my belief that I need Life Alert.
And then there's the cart situation. If you want to know why our country is having economic issues, just pull into a Walmart parking lot and watch the activity. The people leave the store, walk to their car, unload the groceries and make the decision to leave their cart anywhere except the cart corral.* And why would they bother to take the 7 seconds to walk 15 feet to put the cart where it belongs? Someone else will take care of it eventually. It's not their problem. Sure, the cart may roll into someone else's car and leave an unsightly dent, but again, they won't have to deal with this because they will have already fled the scene by the time the owner returns.
Last winter, my roommate and I made a trip to Walmart. It was cold and stormy outside. We weren't happy about being there, but we were nearing starvation and couldn't put it off any longer. When we arrived, it was so windy that carts were rolling through the parking lot unattended, as if there were ghosts running around having cart races (this would totally happen at Hogwarts). They were everywhere! So, instead of going straight into the store, the two of us spent time chasing these carts down to prevent them from causing further damage. Luckily neither of us had any big plans that night, because we both looked like wet dogs by the time we were finished with our little adventure. I couldn't believe this many people could be so irresponsible. Wamart must agree, because they've put enough cart corrals at each store to facilitate a very quick and easy drop-off. I suppose the smallest possible amount of responsibility is just too much work for some people.
There's a website that was launched a few years ago called http://peopleofwalmart.com/photos. This is a site that showcases the oddities within Walmart stores, captured by everyday people and their camera phones. The pictures highlight the insanity of Walmart shoppers. If you want a good laugh, check it out. Make sure to focus on the "photos" section. Be prepared to douse your eyes with bleach, as there are some unsavory images (many of these people don't understand the concept of public decency).
Disclaimer: This site was fantastic when it first began. The last few times I've checked it, it wasn't quite as funny anymore. I think they started letting the people who submit the pictures write the captions as well. I'm sure the founders did this because they couldn't keep up with the inflow of pictures. Understandable, I suppose. Anyway, if you visit the site, focus on the pictures rather than the captions.
The following picture is a prime example of why I have nothing in common with the average Walmart shopper:
Walmart is pretty much a comedian's paradise. This is the real-life version of reality TV. You can't ask for better material. All you have to do is take a seat and watch (they don't have chairs so just find a spot on the floor, nobody will care). Just observing the things people wear, say and do in this store for one hour is enough to make you think about the future of society for the rest of your life. Just the other day, I was passing the salty snack aisle, when I turned my head and saw a man reaching up to catch his daughter who was jumping off the shelf into his arms. Why?? Can't kids amuse themselves by sitting in the cart with a toy in hand like they did in the olden days? The funny thing about this story is that I'm pretty sure the man put his daughter on the shelf to begin with. She looked too little to have been able to climb up there by herself.
I think the question I would most like to ask some of these people is "why don't you make your children wear clothing in public?" I know that most kids don't love wearing clothes, especially when it's 100 degrees outside, but they should not have a choice outside of the home. Obviously this is not aimed at those with financial difficulties who truly cannot afford clothing. This is directed at the parents who are buying beer and cigarettes, but can't seem to walk over to the clothing section and pick up a shirt that costs $6 (or less if the prices are falling that day). This brings me to my next topic: the products.
The Products
There are a few things I will not buy at Walmart, most important of which is the clothing. This isn't because I'm a snob and have to have the best of the best. To the contrary- I was not blessed with fashion sense and don't care about style all that much. The reason I refuse to buy their clothes is because they are so poorly made. When you're paying so little, you can't expect quality. However, the people designing these garments seem to be aiming to produce the ugliest, most horribly cut clothing ever. I used to browse the clothing aisles to see if anything would catch my eye (mostly workout clothes, pajamas and socks- never work clothes). I would try on a few things, always amazed by how horribly they fit. I mean, these designers have to be going out of their way to make sure you don't like their products. Obviously you can't try on socks before purchasing, so on several occasions I have bought a package, only to get home, try them on and be shocked that it's possible to mess up socks. I now purchase all socks from Target. They really know how to make a good sock.
The Management
The quality of your Walmart experience is highly dependent upon which store you visit. There are three classes of Walmart stores: decent, barely acceptable and ghetto. When I lived with my parents after college, I was fortunate to have two decent Walmarts within a 5-mile radius to choose from. When I bought my house, my choices became barely acceptable and ghetto. On one of my Walmart shopping trips a few months ago at the ghetto store, I became concerned about the apparent coffee creamer shortage in this country. I spent considerable time trying to find the kind I wanted, while some lady kept telling me there's plenty of French Vanilla in the store room, you just have to ask the stock guy in the back for it by screaming through the refrigerator at them. I appreciated her help, but I do not believe in flavored creamer. Finally I found the one remaining bottle of the Original and left. Then, last week I visited the barely acceptable store and to my amazement, I ran into the same problem. Except this time, I wasn't able to find a bottle of the Original. No, I had no choice but to purchase something far inferior: the low-fat version of the Original.
I enjoy my creamer with full fat, thank you. This is when I realized there was not a shortage like I had first suspected. This was a management issue. How do you run out of creamer? How?? I guess that doesn't really matter. All I know is that I'll have to drink disgusting coffee for the next few weeks. Thanks a lot, Walmart.
You know why else Walmart management is terrible? The lines. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. They have all these lines set up, equipped with cash registers and bagging systems, yet there aren't any people manning these lines. Oh, that's cool, I'll just stand here for 25 minutes, praying that the person behind me in line doesn't try to spark up a conversation about my purchases, which will really just be a ruse to get me to listen to their life story, which will include details even I don't think I could make up.
As you've probably noticed, this post was a bit longer than most. Walmart is a hot-button issue for me. So, I'm not done. If you would like to see the rest of my thoughts on the subject, read my next post entitled "The 7 Stages of Walmart Emotion." Sometime I'll also tell you about one of the worst decisions of my life, which happened to be centered around Walmart.
*I couldn't figure out what these are called, so I went with the first decent answer that popped up when Googling "shopping cart holder."

Project would add 550 trees
The city of Jamestown and the Lions Club are working together on a project to plant about 550 trees that will serve as a living snow fence at the old BMX track just west of Ave Maria Village.By: Kari Lucin, The Jamestown Sun
The city of Jamestown and the Lions Club are working together on a project to plant about 550 trees that will serve as a living snow fence at the old BMX track just west of Ave Maria Village.
"It's not just pointed at one or two individuals. It helps the whole community out," said Mitzi Hager, treasurer of the Lions Club. "It's a project for the entire community."
The plan is still in its early stages, and the earliest planting could begin would be May 2013, said Vern Quam, city forester.
Should it go forward, approximately $10,000 in costs and labor will be provided by the Lions.
The remaining $15,000 to $19,000 in costs and labor would come from other sources, such as a possible grant from the U.S. Forest Service, administered by the North Dakota Forest Service. That grant has not yet been secured.
Part of the rationale behind the endeavor is aesthetic — the trees will help beautify the area — but there is also a practical element.
In the winter months, blowing snow coming from the north over Jamestown Reservoir glides along a slope and then packs into 19th Street Northeast in the area of its intersection with Fourth Avenue Northeast, Quam explained. Stopping snow before it gets to the road will help the city keep its snow removal costs for the area down.
The land is owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, but because it's administrated by the Stutsman County Parks Board, a federal grant can be used to fund the project. The Parks Board unanimously agreed to support the project at a meeting earlier this year.
"It's an exciting project. We've got a lot of partners involved," Quam said.
Officials from the North Dakota Forest Service have supported the project. So have local committees focusing on shade trees and on city beautification, along with the Stutsman County Soil Conservation District and the Jamestown Community Foundation.
The Lions Club became interested in the project because of a directive from its national level — each club is to plant a tree for each of its members.
That means 41 trees for Jamestown's group, Hager said.
The project includes a lot more than 41 trees, though. If all goes according to plan, there will be about 550 trees, including junipers, pines, spruce, burr oaks, flowering crabs and elms resistant to Dutch elm disease.
That number includes 220 lilacs of two different types that will form a dense shrub "to make a good snow stop," Quam said.
Keeping the trees diverse will mean a bit of color in that area year-round, and it will also protect them from being wiped out by species-particular illnesses.
Some of the trees will be 6 to 8 feet tall when they're planted, but others will be only 1 to 2 feet high, so the snow problem won't be solved immediately, Quam cautioned.
Part of the Lions' contribution will involve maintenance. If it's very dry after the trees are planted, the Lions will be the ones to water the trees. There will be deer fencing and weed barriers that should help keep maintenance to a minimum.
Volunteers and donors are definitely welcome, too, Quam said.
Anyone wishing to donate money for a tree can send it to the Jamestown Community Foundation at P.O. Box 372, Jamestown, ND, 58402-0372, and designate the check to the northeast living snow fence project.

Trans-Tasman rivalry to reignite this week at Oceania Championships
Trans-Tasman cycling rivalry will reignite in Adelaide this week when the 2013 UCI Oceania Track Championships gets under way at the Super-Drome on Wednesday.
The Championships signify the start of the campaign towards the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2016 Olympic Games, with a host of Australia's Olympic team to return to competition this week.
2012 London Olympic omnium bronze medallist and home-town hero Annette Edmondson makes her return to track cycling following a successful stint on the domestic road scene during which she claimed overall honours in the final two events in the Subaru National Women's Road Series in October.
"It will my first major (track) competition since the games, and while I know that I won't be in peak form, I have been back on the track for the last few weeks am hoping to get some decent results," said South Australia's Edmondson, 20, who also claimed silver in the omnium at the 2012 Track World Championships in Melbourne.
Edmondson will contest four events this week in the team and individual pursuits, scratch and omnium and expects tough opposition from the strong women's field that includes fellow Olympian Tasmania's Amy Cure and in-form riders Ashlee Ankudinoff and Isabella King.
Ankudinoff claimed two silver medals at last week's second leg of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Series in Glasgow, in the omnium and in the team pursuit (with Cure and Melissa Hoskins). However the Sydney rider will not contest the omnium in Adelaide, instead opting to focus on the scratch, points race and pursuits.
West Australia's King claimed two gold medals in Colombia's opening round in the omnium and scratch race and will contest those two events in Adelaide in addition to the team pursuit.
"Given the success of both Bella King and Ashlee Ankudinoff in the UCI World Cups, I will have a big fight on my hands and I know I am going to have to have my guard up at every opportunity," Edmondson added.
London team sprint bronze medallist Kaarle McCulloch of New South Wales headlines the women's sprint field, with many eagerly anticipating a battle with Queensland's five-time junior world champion Taylah Jennings, 18, who will make her debut in the senior ranks.
In the men's events, reigning team sprint world champion Matthew Glaetzer, 20, will look to excite his home crowd when he contests the keirin, men's sprint and teams sprint.

Just a week after 4chan users voted North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un to the top of Time magazine's Person of the Year poll, a group of hackers related to 4chan managed to spell out "KJU GAS CHAMBERS" with the poll's top 14 names -- starting with Kim, Jon Stewart and Undocumented Immigrants.
According to a report from The Daily Dot, the poll manipulation scheme is the handiwork of a group of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) users, who used a Java script to manipulate the voting results.
One IRC user explained their choice of words to The Daily Dot:
Furthermore, if there was any overt justification for why we chose gas chambers, it's because we wanted to reference Hitler, who's [sic] gas chamber antics are always offensive to people. His name was mentioned a lot when we were discussing what to spell.
The phrase, "KJU GAS CHAMBERS" refers to the North Korean leaders mysterious and brutal prison camps, where entirely families have reportedly been gassed.
Mashable reported December 3 that 4chan was planning to spell out the phrase after they propelled Kim to the top of the poll. "For our Glorious Leader, Episode II: We've already voted him to the top, now lets spell something nice with the first letters of the contestants," wrote one user.

Oil prices to hold steady in 2Q, Iran forecasts |
TEHRAN – Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi has evaluated current oil prices in world markets as reasonable, forecasting that the prices would remain steady in the second quarter of 2013.
He made the remarks on the sidelines of the third meeting of energy and oil ministers of the Economic Cooperation Organization, which wrapped up in Tehran on Wednesday, IRNA reported.
Oil prices fell in Asian trade Friday as the market awaited the release of U.S. payrolls data amid lingering concerns over a prolonged budget stalemate, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in April eased 25 cents to $91.31 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for April delivery dipped 40 cents to $110.75.
On December 23, 2012, Qasemi said that OPEC will hold an extraordinary meeting if oil price comes down below $100.
"According to projections, oil prices will remain higher than $100 per barrel in 2013. However, if the prices go under $100 OPEC will hold urgent meeting to cut production ceiling," Qasemi said.
During the 162nd regular ministerial meeting of the OPEC in Vienna, Austria, on Wednesday, member states agreed to maintain the organization's production ceiling of 30 million barrels per day (bpd).
OPEC, which provides about 35 percent of the world's oil, is a permanent intergovernmental organization of 12 oil-exporting countries, including Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.
