Good Deed Friday: A Practical Eco-Accessory
I can't decide what's more amazing about Zulugrass jewelry: The fact that the beautiful grass beads are strung on super-durable elastic (the same used to film the movie Spiderman) or that handcrafting these works of art has given more than 1,400 Massai women in Kenya steady work for over 5 years.
Zulugrass is the brainchild of The Leakey Collection, created by a husband and wife team in hope of giving the people in the Rift Valley a means to take care of their families when their pasture lands were devastated by drought in 2001. They harvest, dry and cut grass into tiny beads, which they then dye and string with elastic. To balance the modern, natural feel of the grass beads, they intersperse glass beads from the Czech Republic (the only material imported to create the jewelry) in the design to give each piece a soft, classic feel.
Each piece is designed to be worn a number of ways, which makes Zulugrass jewelry extremely versatile. I absolutely love the clasps too. They act more like a finishing touch than a single-purpose clasp! And even better is that the elastic used doesn't lose shape if it's stretched. So your baby can tug away on your arms and neck without you worrying about delicate chains breaking or stretching.Add a Comment

Institute for Research in Marketing
The Institute for Research in Marketing leverages the expertise of the Carlson School's world class marketing faculty and an advisory board of practitioners from leading corporations to foster rigorous and relevant research that improves the science and practice of marketing. The Institute provides a forum for dialogue among marketing scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and students.
Two Marketing Profs Named Among Top 40 in World
Professor Kathleen Vohs and Associate Professor Vladas Griskevicius have been selected by Poets & Quants as two of the "40 Most Outstanding B-School Profs Under 40 in the World." To compile its list, Poets & Quants polled business school administration, faculty, students, and alumni for their top picks.
Featured Faculty
Assistant Professor Alison Jing Xu is fascinated by decisions – specifically the decision-making process and how people grapple with, then make, what they believe to be "right" decisions. When it came to working with the Carlson School of Management, however, Xu said the decision was a simple one, given its reputation for being a very research intensive and active school with marketing faculty who are productive and well-known in the field.
Advisory Board
David Kristal
Augeo Affinity Marketing
David Kristal is the founder, CEO and Co-Chairman of Augeo Affinity Marketing. Prior to forming Augeo, Kristal began his career as an attorney at Winthrop and Weinstine, then left the firm in 1993 to create and run the business development function at Weisman Enterprises, a large, privately held transaction management company.

I'm just getting into email design. I like the simplicity of the design and the header intro text to give readers a clear expectation. On the negative side I would've used a jpeg image at the footer instead of the png for an increase in support. I don't see the benefit of the png on a solid background. Overall, kudos on a nice design.

This Week's Program
Program Coordinator
John Wells
Please return your RSVP card for the Gala by April 1st!
There will be no Friday Kiwanis Club of Omaha meetings on April 3rd or April 10th. Our next meeting is on April 17th!
President's Column
Dear Kiwanian,
The larger Kiwanis family is more special because of many Service Leadership Programs. These programs include, but are not limited to, Circle K clubs in universities and colleges, Key Clubs in high schools, and Aktion Clubs for adults with disabilities. Our club's relationship with the Aktion Club is a regular activity for several of our club members. The mission of the Aktion Club is to provide the participating adults an opportunity to develop initiative and leadership skills, to serve their community, to be integrated into society and to demonstrate the dignity and value of citizens living with disabilities. The Kiwanis Club of Omaha, Inc. has partnered with Mosaic to achieve these goals. I attended the most recent meeting on March 17th and was impressed by the enthusiasm of the Aktion Club members and the inspiration they provide our own club members. This Friday, one of the Mosaic employees will speak for a few minutes about ways we can help Mosaic and therefore Aktion Club members. I would encourage you to take the time to participate in an Aktion Club event and to support this important part of the Kiwanis family.

Shrubs and vines for north side of 6ft. fence
The area I want to plant is about 10ft. long by 3ft., but is mostly in damp shade.
I had planted four "Moonlight" climbing hydrangeas three years ago, when we moved into this new little house, hoping they would fill in the whole area along the fence,but despite trying to support them by various means, they just were not able to grab onto the wooden fence and climb. I have left two of them in, at each end of the bed, one is in a corner and may be able to climb a little in the next year or two, then maybe take off, but I'm not very hopeful. The other two I have put against a back wall.
At our last house, I had climbing hydrangea "Petiolaris" growing up quite easily against a brick wall in quite a bit of shade. Maybe this variety can climb up a wooden fence more easily than the "Moonlight"?
I have a lacecap hydrangea "Blueird" which is doing reasonably well, and I planted vinca as a ground cover last year, which is still just straggly.
Could anyone suggest suitable shrubs, evergreens, or vines, hopefully with some height, that would cheer up this dreary border!
Apologies for this long-winded post!
Does it get any sun at all? My north facing area actually gets a bit of sun in the early morning, then nothing the rest of the day until late afternoon. I'll suggest some plants if you have at least a bit of light - even bright light but no direct sun. Dappled shade? Or is it solid shade?
Some shrubs I've grown in fairly deep shade are:
- Pyracantha (mine had to be espaliered, but it worked well in pretty deep shade)
- Lindera benzoin (spicebush) These are doing well in full shade with some dappled sunshine in the morning and early afternoon
- Itea virginica. Mine is growing slowly in the shade, but doing ok.
- almost any kind of currant bush, especially Alpine currant, will do ok in the shade
- My Japanese Kerria are very adaptable to shade and crummy soil
- I've grown Pieris in fairly deep shade
At our new place there is a 5-foot shrub growing right underneath a Norway Maple tree (!) and this spring, with all the rain, it actually bloomed. I think it is some kind of white-flowering Spirea. Anything that can take the abuse of a Norway maple will live anywhere-- you might want to check those out.
Good luck,
Some shrubs and vines I have grown in shade is:
Acer ginnala
Berberis (especially light green varieties)
Lonicera cultivars
Ribes alpinium
Cornus florida
Cornus racemosa
Ilex verticillata
Magnolia virginiana
Most will do well in a north exposure and ample moisture
If you are in zone 6 you could try these interesting shrubs.
Calycanthus chinensis (sometimes called Calycanthus sinochinensis)
Calycanthus floridus
Here is a link that might be useful: Our website
Many thanks to all of you who very kindly sent me advice.
Tiffy, - yes, I checked at various times of the day, and there is a little dappled sunlight and later in the day a little direct sun.
Bev - your suggestions were interesting - I do like firethorn - I have three at the other end of the garden against a fence and I had just one at our last house. I love kerria, especially the single flowering one. I looked up Itea virginica, and it would be an ideal choice, but the problem is the narrowness of the border, also pieris, which is so pretty.
MG - Your suggestions are lovely, but I don't think they would survive very well in this location. Lots of snow taking a long time to melt in the spring, along with the shade.
Orchidguy4ever - That is quite a list, and thank-you! I will have to google to find their familiar names, I'm embarrassed to say!! Which ones are vines or smallish shrubs?
Thanks again, everyone! What a great forum this is!
That was an intersting question you asked and I am impressed with all the names of thse plants. WIll look some up as well as I have a fence that needs some growth on it as well
I am in a new house, to me, since last year. The only thing I have growing on the fence just now, are half a dozen clematis that I put in this spring
Will see how they overwinter. I haven't staked them, or trellised , yet as I will wait and see which ones make it and which don't.
But I would like to grow more things on the fence. I have fencing on three sides of the back yard and back onto a little wooded area.
Appreciate as well the list.

There is no room for superstitions in monotheism if you believe in one God form your whole heart that's what matters, A firm believer of God doesn't care about superstitions, But I agree polytheism is far more superstitious because they try their lucks by believing in existence of many God's, So it's normal for them to being superstitious.

Boots for the Glory of Russia!
OK, a long, long time ago Anne Lay said that fantasy was the only interesting genre in gaming. I disagreed, and wrote a game set in a St. Petersburg Boot Factory, during the Russian Revolution. There are no great historical or ethical lessons to be learned – the history may well be rubbish – but it's a fairly simple game you can play with 9 friends over for dinner and a bottle of vodka. Steve Hatherley of UK Freeforms made a pdf, which is free to download, so you can print it out and play it if you want to. The GM is the Gamesmaster – the host – they should have read all the character sheets, and be familiar with the whole print out, and make up any answrs to rules questions not covered by the game. Everyone else just gets some game cards, a character sheet for the person they are playing, and the briefing documents — anyway email me at email@example.com if you have questions.
It's not my best game, but I'm trying to mention my gaming hobby more on my blog this year, and it may amuse. The original version included a points scoring system to determine a winner: Steve deleted it to make it more of a freeform, but if Axel still has the files I sent him I can make that available as well if any one wants it. Have a read see what you think!

I highly recommend this game – especially if played with free flowing vodka. I ran it in Toronto in winter (so folks going outside to negotiate in private had an even more authentic experience).
Judging by what I've heard about the weather, now would be a great time to run it in the UK.
I'll put the points system up on-line somewhere for people that want that added info.

For a Canadian band, there are a few ways to make you feel like you've made it. One is having the opportunity to embark on a world tour. Two is getting love from Pitchfork. And three is a Polaris shortlist nomination. Of course, there is a fourth, but the chances of it happening are slim to nil.
Vancouver's Japandroids have achieved the first three: touring the world over, earning Best New Music from P4K twice, and making the Polaris top ten in 2012. And while that might seem like the world is their oyster, hockey fans can make the dreams of David Prowse and Brian King come true.
The duo's single "The House That Heaven Built" has been nominated for Project NU2, the official Vancouver Canucks hunt for a new entrance song. According to the Canucks organization, the team received 2,853 submissions that were narrowed down to just six.
Also up for the honour are two other Vancouver bands, Nickelback and Static in the Stars, as well as Guns 'N Roses, DJ MEG and Volbeat. Seeing as King and Prowse are known Canucks die-hards, well, you might as well give it to them.
Check out the very convincing Japandroids entry below, and then make your vote here. Let's make their dream come true. It would basically be the equivalent of the EGOT for a Canadian band.

Follow-Up on 2 Cats with IBS/1 Litter Box
It has been about 6 weeks, maybe 2 months since my last report on Sebastian and Hibachi. These 2 Siamese brothers came home from the shelter with ear mites, ear yeast infection, irritable bowel syndrome and Lord knows what else. Sebastian was inconsistent in using the litter box. He'd also go on the floor.
The vet prescribed Prednisolone and Lamb & Rice dry to treat IBS. We used Zymox Otic for the ear infection.
After Lamb & Rice, we tried other varieties before settling on dry Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck (no grains). After 6 weeks of feeding this brand exclusively, their stool is much firmer - through not perfect. I've stopped the Prednisolone. By the way, we tried making out own catfood. They wouldn't touch it.
The ear infection went away within 2 weeks using Zymox Otic.
Although many of you suggested 2 litter boxes, I'm a bit hard headed and insisted that both cats share 1 box. That now seems to be working. They are sharing 1 box without any accidents. Last accident was over a month ago. Knock on wood! But I believe that accident was due to IBS. Now that we're correcting the IBS problem the litter box problem has also improved.
I also allow the cats to go outside on nice days. Sebastian loves it. He likes to poop outside. I believe the "covering" poop exercise may have helped him understand the indoor litter box. Plus they are now older (8 months) and maturing.
This post is merely designed to be an encouragement to those who are experiencing similar problems.
Sebastian and Hibachi are turning out to be great cats.
good update, glad they're coming along for you now. I bet they feel a lot better too. Sounds like they've been through the ringer!
One tip I've read a lot is to feed cats a tablespoon of canned pumpkin daily, it's supposed to regulate their tummies, and is good for those w/tummy issues. I know if my dogs get upset tummies, they get sweet potato, it really helps. It helps if they're constipated or if they have diarrhea.
Simply Fabulous!
My Brownie favs on canned for are Soulistic Good Karma chicken same as Weruva Paw Lickin chicken & Fancy Feast flaked fish & shrimp, Merrick Cowboy Cookout & Ocean Breeze which are all on the IBD kitties web list if you want to try canned food.

Mikado plant care
At my nursery to bring home some garden plants and also saw this houseplant called Mikado (Syngonanthus chrysanthus). Never saw one before so of course brought it home. Does it need to be in water at all times? Right now it's in a soup bowl with an inch of water. Any directions for its care would be appreciated. I swear this nursery has me on its gps and sets out unusual plants when it sees me coming.
lol @ gps!
I had this last year, and let it get too dry late in the season, so it eventually died.
I didn't keep mine in water at all times, but set it in a bowl of water when it began to show signs of dryness.
Mine was on my sunporch with direct sun for a large part of the day, and lots of 'daytime warmth' I'll call it, as some of the nights were cool, which didn't seem to affect the plant.
I had bought mine in February, I think, and it lived and grew nicely until I'd forgotten to water it when I brought it indoors during the winter.
I've read where it needs bright but indirect light. Temp 20-22 ideal, will tolerate 14C-30C. Flowers last 10 weeks and it flowers 50 wks out of the year.
I have mine in a saucer of water too, not confident enough to remember to water it almost every day.
Never had any luck with these. I think if you can successfully grow Venus' Flytrap you could grow these. Never had any luck with those either until recently. I took an empty glass pickle jar (with out the lid) put some small rocks in the bottom maybe about 1/2 -3/4 of an inch, and just dropped the pot with the almost dead flytrap in the centre. Kept the water just to the top of the rocks. It's been about 2 and a half months and it's doing fantastic. It flowered, and has at least 3 or 4 fully developed mouths with many more new ones. It's in bright light most of the day and gets some direct sun. I'm almost certain this should work for your mikado. You've got nothing to lose if you want to give it a try!

Recipes: The Prius sandwich
The Prius sandwich
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Serves 1
Andrew Blaskovich slings some of the most sought-after grilled cheese sandwiches in Sacramento via his food truck, Drew-ski's Hot Rod Kitchen. Here's his recipe showing off the sweeter side of his sandwiches.
2 slices of nine-grain wheat bread (he favors Sacramento Baking Co. bread)
1 1/2 tablespoon clarified butter, melted
5 cored 1/8-inch-thick slices of Granny Smith apple (grilled and slightly caramelized)
Four 1-ounce pieces of brie cheese cut 1/8 inch thick
1 tablespoon wildflower honey
Palm-sized amount of smoke- flavored almonds, chopped
Heat a medium-sized sauté pan at medium heat. Brush clarified butter on one side of each piece of bread. Layer on the unbuttered side of one slice half of the brie cheese, the apple slices, honey and almonds. Top with the last half of the brie and the other slice of bread.
Cook in pan until crispy and dark brown, maybe 2 1/2 minutes on each side (it might be a little bit harder to see how brown it truly is since you're using a darker bread to start with.)
Cut in half and then get your grub on.

To all the outsiders out there, thank you.

a cobweb catches
the glow of fluorescents

heart jumped with the melody

You are not ugly my child.
You are beautiful.
CHiPs are on alert.
My pedal's to the metal.
Just too fast for them!
about time
wasted because
of just being tired of
Because tears are meant
To be a symbol of strength
Even in hard days.
Timetabled breathing,
All else is irrelevant:
Exams are too much.
If love is a drug
my chemist doesn't have it.
Where can I find some?
Exam time returns;
Text-submerged teens imitate
Rodin's 'The Thinker'.
Young pulsating eyes
Arch over dry hieroglyphs;

Unlived childhood memories, and a past similar but deprived only by myself.
The class was boring.
Some of the kids were snoring.
Well worth ignoring.

Just as trees will fall
Cherish both while they last
Fast, colors whirl by
In the springtime of our years
Now seems like a dream
The brain a cavern,
Ancient wisdom packed inside:
No room for spare thought.
Crumpled and starved
Of sleep, cocooned in knowledge;
Good grades yet to bloom.
Hotel stays when we
all must go; broken phone but
the ice is cold!
Don't ever grow up
'Cause I've been told, when you grow
Up…You grow old!
Like a cherry tree in the spring,
God if this is meant to be,
Please let this blossom.
Laity are sent to engage in society
That the kingdom of Eternal God can grow among them

|Board Member, New Caney Independent School District, Position 7
|Term ends
|Elections and appointments
|Last election
|November 5, 2013
|First elected
|Term limits
|Insurance sales
Harrell is an insurance saleswoman who graduated from the New Caney Independent School District.[1]
What was at stake?
Two seats were scheduled to be up for election, covering Positions 6 and 7 on the board. Since no challengers filed for that seat, the district made the decision to cancel the election.
About the districtMontgomery County, Texas. The county seat of Montgomery County is Conroe. Montgomery County is home to 455,746 residents, according to the United States Census Bureau.[2] In the 2011-2012 school year, New Caney Independent School District was the 95th-largest school district in Texas and served 10,884 students.[3]
Montgomery County overperformed in comparison to the rest of Texas in terms of higher education achievement in 2012. The United States Census Bureau found that 30.1 percent of Montgomery County residents aged 25 years and older had attained a bachelor's degree compared to 26.3 percent for Texas as a whole. The median household income in Montgomery County was $66,422 compared to $51,563 for the state of Texas. The poverty rate in Montgomery County was 12.3 percent compared to 17.4 percent for the entire state.[2]
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one- or two-tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[5] This Ballotpedia page provides a more detailed explanation of how the Census Bureau handles race and ethnicity in its surveys.

personally i'd find a cardassian /romulan alliance more acceptable then what we currently have. it's a fairly decent concept.
i'd love to see romulans as a 3rd faction and i'd love to see cardassians in the game. if this is the only way the 2 can happen I say, make it so!!
if they come down to basics. cardassians need ships and their own species. to think romulans only had 4 choices. I can imagine cardassians. liberated borg cardassians and alien as options.
a few ships beyond the galor. cryptic a have reasonable cash cow on their hands.
the hard part would be devoting time to a tutorial and a few missions of good story that make more sense than LOR.
i'm pretty sure they can break away from a 2 sided game and really expand the possibilities beyond a 2 sided red team vs blue team game.
or worst case scenario make cardassians and romulans join 'team red' and really make the population grow!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Retailers are tracking customers' every move
SHOPPING online is a revealing act. Websites know what catches visitors' fancy, how long they linger and where to find them when they leave.
Traditional shopkeepers are blind by comparison. Who enters their stores and how they behave are mysteries, ones only partly solved when someone buys something. A click from a finger means more than one from a stiletto heel.
Brick-and-mortar retailers would like to change that. Stacey Shulman, technology chief of the clothing chain American Apparel, craves "the same type of analytics in-store as I can get online."
In many cases the equipment is already there: Security cameras watch out for thieves and Wi-Fi networks pick up mobile-telephone signals. A "furious amount" of testing is going on to see whether such technology can help retailers understand customers better and thus boost profits, says Anthony Mullen of Forrester Research.
Simply knowing how many shoppers cross the threshold, and when, can be useful. American Apparel's store managers thought they were busiest when sales peaked. They were typically off by two hours. Now the retailer gathers traffic data from cameras mounted above the doors and feeds that into its staff-scheduling software. When crowds come, the shops now have enough salespeople to serve them. As a result, sales are up "across the board."
Traffic-counting already is fairly common practice. Shoppertrak has been providing that service to stores for 20 years. A newer breed of service providers, such as Retailnext, American Apparel's partner, and Tyco, whose roots are in security, encourages retail chains to harness in-store hardware for more exotic purposes. Crime-fighting cameras guess shoppers' sex and age, and draw "heat maps" showing how they move around a store.
Gordmans, a Midwestern department-store chain, discovered via video that goods at a particular display sold especially well. It changed the wares from home furnishings to higher-margin fashion items. Mannequins made by Almax, an Italian company, look back at customers with camera eyes, noting sex, age and ethnicity. One noticed a contingent of Asian shoppers arriving at a shop at the same time every day, prompting the manager to post Asian salespeople to receive them.
Tracking mobile telephones yields different nuggets: what share of passers-by enter a store, how many leave immediately -- the "bounce rate" -- and how many are repeat customers. At least half a dozen retailers are experimenting with tracking employees' mobile telephones to find out, for example, how long it takes to retrieve a pair of shoes from the stockroom.
Retailers need every advantage they can muster to cope with price-chopping websites and skittish rich-world consumers. They risk giving shoppers the creeps, however. Pam Dixon of the San Diego-based World Privacy Forum thinks that using cameras for non-security ends "violates some very fundamental expectations and rights."
She fears retailers will profile casual browsers by combining in-store tracking with data from outside sources. The risk will rise as the technology improves.
"There's no expectation of privacy when you go into a mall," one shopper-monitoring executive retorts.
A better answer is that retailers such as American Apparel are analyzing groups, not identifying individuals. Cameras set up to do anything fancier than traffic-counting are confined to a few test stores.
Mobile-telephone trackers identify telephones, not their owners, says Will Smith of Euclid Analytics. Still, Euclid recommends telling customers that tracking is going on.
"Companies that succeed in this space are companies that address privacy correctly," Smith says.

"I'm a last minute kind of girl and needed my invitations for my wedding in June, FAST! I was shocked that an editor responded back with my changes and had my invites shipped right away. I love the quality of the cards and they look so beautiful. I will definitely order from them again!"
"I customized these invites with shades of purple and sage. They were SO cute!! I was worried it would be a very time consuming and frustrating task because I had to customize quite a bit including the main wording and didn't know if it could be done. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was and how nice their customer service is. The quality was very good and the standard paper it came in was nice and thick. These will perfectly compliment our outdoor, rustic wedding!"
"Text has enough flourish while still being easily readable - and the writing was not too small, which was a problem with other invites we had considered! Nice thick paper, back design did not show through to the front. Tree image was very clear, not blurry or smudged. Love this design!"
"This card is so pretty.. I actually ordered it in white and it's just a classic and elegant look! I changed the fonts a little to fit my style better, I just love it and can't wait to send them out. In person the font and writing size is more clear!"
"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"

Release Date:
April 29, 2008
Tickley Feather's Annie Sachs has said that she records music to soothe herself, and that lulling quality stands out on her first album. Tickley Feather displays a unique mix of innocence and sophistication, ranging from snippets of children talking about magic to carefully layered pieces like "Night Train," which surround the listener with an almost dubby depth, but each song's hypnotic pull is what holds this delicate lo-fi collage together. Sachs swaths naively stiff drum machines, the most basic keyboard sounds, and her own wispy voice -- which often sounds like she's singing in another language -- in blankets of delay and reverb, transforming them into beguiling, slightly haunted-sounding pop as well as more abstract tracks. Her more structured songs, like "The Python," put plaintive melodies atop insistent, if muffled, rhythms, creating an intriguing push-pull of hesitance and impatience ("Buttshot" adds a puckish sense of humor to the mix). "Le Daylight" could soundtrack a David Lynch fever dream, its kitschy synth strings and waltz rhythm made woozy and surreal by masses of Sachs' distorted vocals teetering between harmony and discord. However, the pieces that are even more impressionistic are hit-or-miss: "Ooooo"'s wordless vocalizing and "1978 Fast/Xylophone/Leaking Roof"'s heavily processed found sounds add to Tickley Feather's air of homespun experimentation, but "Keyboard Is Drunk" is so formless that it threatens to break the album's spell. Despite the occasional tangent, Sachs' music is always evocative, especially on "Rain Bucket," which captures the feeling of curling up in the bedroom or basement with a four-track recorder during a storm. Even when it's noisy, it's somehow subtle; "Sorry Party"'s big drums and bassline rock out a bit, yet the song feels cavernously distant. Tickley Feather was four years in the making, but it never feels overcooked -- if anything, it could stand to be a little tighter -- but though Tickley Feather's music feels like it's still coming into focus, hearing it do so is fascinating.

Booting Linux from EPROM
This article describes one way to run Linux in an embedded system with no hard disk. The application described is an Operator Interface in a monitor and display system developed by Boeing Flight Test. The airborne environment requires something fairly rugged which can withstand common power interruptions. To meet these requirements we decided to build the operator interface without a hard disk.
The basic concept includes booting from a solid state disk (SSD) in Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), copying a root file system from EPROM to a RAM disk, loading the operator interface software from a host and executing it. This article focuses on the details of how the system works, and on development techniques used.
The hardware selected is a VME-based Single Board Computer (SBC) 80486 with 16M of RAM, a PC104 SSD cable of holding a 4Meg EPROM, and some other PC104 boards. This SBC has built in BIOS support for using the SSD. The system uses a programmable keyboard and a standard VGA display.
For booting, two options were considered:
booting DOS, then running the loadlin program (to load Linux) from autoexec.bat
installing LILO and booting Linux directly
The advantage of the second option would be a slightly shorter boot time. However, we implemented the first option, because we wanted to use a programmable keyboard—the software for programming the keyboard runs under DOS.
A bit of kernel-hacking was needed to make the system work. The ramdisk.c code was changed to load from any block device, not just a floppy (see Listing 1, ramdisk.c). Also, a new block driver was written to read from the EPROM device (see Listing 2, epromdsk.c).
When deciding how to implement the EPROM device driver, the first idea was to create an image of a disk in the EPROM. This would provide a RAM disk of the same size as the EPROM, 3.5MB in this case (the DOS portion of the SSD takes 1/2 MB). Instead, to allow a larger RAM disk, a compressed disk image is used. The compression used is simple—any sectors which are identical are only stored once. The primary advantage this gives is blank areas of the disk image don't need to take up EPROM space. Listing 1 shows the SSD disk compression used.
In order to automatically run the operator interface application, a program was written to replace getty. This program (dboot.c) will run login for a given user, and set the stdin, stdout and stderr to the specified virtual console.
The boot sequence is:
Power up and run memory tests
load DOS which executes AUTOEXEC.BAT
run the keyboard programming application
run loadlin—this reads a linux kernel from the DOS disk & executes it
the linux kernel takes over
load the RAM disk from the EPROM disk
switch the root file system to the RAM disk
init will read inittab which executes dboot instead of getty
the operator interface application is started
After the fun part—figuring how to make an EPROM driver and how to boot the system—the more mundane task of putting together the EPROM disk contents had to be done. This was done using a development disk which was partitioned as follows:
/dev/hda1 - 80MB "full" Linux system
/dev/hda2 - 6MB EPROM development
/dev/hda3 - 20MB DOS partition
LILO was used to allow booting of either Linux or DOS.
Programming EPROMs is a time-consuming task and to be avoided as much as possible. As a result, most of the development is done using the disk.
The first phase of disk image development was identifying the required and the desired items. The first step was to come up with a minimal system and then add the items required for the operator interface. Not being a Unix expert, coming up with the minimal system ended up being something of a trial and error process. I started with what I thought was needed, then tried running it. When an error occurred because of a missing program or library, that file was added. This process went on until the system ran happily.
The bulk of this was done by copying files from the "full" Linux partition to the 6MB partition, booting DOS and using the loadlin line:
loadlin zimage root=/dev/hda2 ro
Once the system was fairly stable, the 6MB partition was loaded into the RAM disk. This is very similar to how the RAM disk is loaded from EPROM, but development went faster since EPROMs weren't being programmed. To test the system without programming EPROMs, the system booted DOS and ran loadlin with the line:
loadlin zimage root=/dev/hda2 ramdisk=6144 ro
Because of the modification to ramdisk.c, the /dev/hda2 disk image is loaded into the RAM disk, then the root file system is switched to the RAM disk. The process of refining the disk image continues until everything is "perfect".
Re: Booting Linux from EPROM
I have a BaseMemory of 512KB.
I have A: drive of 2MB where DOS resides.
I have SRAM of 16 MB for other executables storage for my
DOS system.
I would like to know - where should i place the linux ,
so that my handheld(DOS OS) comes with that of linux ?
should i need to place my linux image in the Base Memory ?
SHould i need to place my linux image in the place of
DOS operating system ?
Do give some Good links or tutorials regarding a SBC
design with linux and about a normal embedded linux
based Handheld boot process along with the h/w .
do lead me, regards,

Planted too late
Hi, everyone. I grew beautiful dahlias this year. In August, though, I received 3 tubers as a free bonus. They are dinner plate I suppose. I planted them. One of them has flowered already, the other two are all in buds.
We are expecting a serious frost this weekend. What would you do? Transplant them to pots? I have a portable hotbed, should I try to see if I can put it around the plants? What happens if I dig the tubers now? Will they be too depleted to grow again next year?
Thanks for any help.
Fran, seeing as how you planted them when they were supposed to be in full flower I think it comes down to your accepting that this season is a lost one....and you should look forward to planting them next spring about the time you put out your annuals.....maybe a little sooner..when the soil has warmed up sufficiently.
As it is, you may as well leave them in the ground until after a hard frost....which will turn the foliage black.
Then you dig them up and store them in a cool, dry, dark environment. Bury them in peat moss or dry sand.
Let them dry though for a day or so in your garage so as to not store them in a too moisturized condition.
Moisture around the soft tissue of your dahlia tuber can initiate mildew or rot. Let them dry out a bit before you store.

Fish from the Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes are now safer to eat than they were a few years ago. That's one of the findings of the DNR's annual review of fish consumption advisories.
The agency also says Lake Michigan brown trout are now deemed safe to eat once a month.
Meanwhile some other waters now have more stringent fish consumption advisories. For example Virgin Lake in Oneida County has a new exception…that discourages people from eating walleye over 22 inches.
Some people love to catch and eat lots of fish, but since the 1970's, we've been warned about certain species of fish in specific waterways that may be more contaminated with poisonous substances like mercury or PCB's.
Wisconsin Department of Health Services Researcher is Pamela Imm has been surveying men over 50 who eat fish to find out if they pay attention to fish consumption advisories provided by the state. Imm says most of them are very aware of them...
