I think you have a weird sound card, or something is weird about your system - maybe the linux driver that is used for your chip doesn't quite know enough about it and thinks that it has controls that it really hasn't. With most cards "master playback"

I agree about "best choice", my only issue is that I did not know where and what to use .
In Racy 5.4.93 now
both Master Front Playback Volume
and PCM Playback Volume work.
The sound Wizard asks:

You might want to take that suggestion somewhere else where it is more likely to be seen... But I would have thought someone would naturally look in the retrovol settings if volume control wasn't working, not in some wizard. So the main thing would be getting retrovol not to crash.

Hi, long time no type
I just uploaded a new version. I
I fixed all of the issues that have been brought up. Summary:
Three options for volume scaling - linear, logarithmic, exponential
Auto-mute when set to 0%, can be optionally disabled
Does not use the muted icon unless
muted (note to themers: added a fifth icon for 0% but unmuted: audio-volume-none.png)
No longer crashes if the soundcard is missing or misconfigured
Now updates tray slider every second just like main-window sliders
No more level resetting if you change the volume and then scroll on the tray icon
No more getting stuck at 0% and 100%
Now using own git repository at
NOTE: As I speak neither German nor French, the bundled localization files have not been updated with translations for the new strings that have been added. If/when somebody posts updated files, I'll release a version 0.13.1 with them included (assuming I haven't made enough changes in the meanwhile to warrant jumping to 0.14; I don't have anything planned though).
I also didn't bother to build a separate package for 4.x. The package I uploaded was built on Precise Puppy (a version or two behind the latest, if it matters). If people need it compiled for something different, well, they are more than welcome to grab the source package and see to it
complains about aclocal-1.13 being missing, you can probably get things working happily by simply running
autoreconf --force
and then trying again. Puppy Precise used 1.11, but my Arch Linux install uses 1.13 and it bitches at me if I leave it set for 1.11. So.
If there are any issues, let me know. Or use the issue tracker on the GitHub repository.
Would-be issue posters: Please remember that if you are having issues using retrovol, try using alsamixer. If it doesn't work with alsamixer either, then it isn't an issue with retrovol, but rather your overall audio configuration.

Was looking forward for it.
Works, if the main kernel driver (snd_hda_intel in my case) is unloaded when retrovol is launched .
But does not work if /usr/sbinalsaconf or /etc/init.d/[10]*alsa stop are launched, which would both unload all or most sound modules .
terminal1 wrote:
# retrovol
Control hw:0 open error: No such file or directory
Segmentation fault
terminal2 wrote:
# alsaconf ##hit first dialog cancel to quit program
# lsmod | grep snd
snd_page_alloc 4765 0
Looking forward for 0.14
Nevertheless retrovol is the mixer of my choice, especially to enable the front speakers .

Welcome back!
I had removed Retrovol months back and have been using Alsamixergui. (Basically the same as alsamixer, no tray slider)
Tried the new retrovol-0.13. Package manager says "Error, retrovol-0.13 failed to install."
I uninstalled Alsamixergui and tried again. Same.
Just reporting. Maybe I have an odd PreciseNop-5.4.3.
EDIT: Apparently not. I tried it on Precise Puppy 5.5.92, pfix=ram, with the same result.

Post subject: Simple volume control
Subject description: Another way
Just thought I'd add this to the discussion.This is how I've been doing it in PreciseNop-5.4.3 (and at least some others.)
1.Remove retrovol if present (package mgr, built-in files.)
2. Install absvolume_puppy-0.8.pet This is the one that works. Yes, it's old.
3. Comment out the exe line in defaultaudiomixerr.
4. Open alsamixer in terminal. Adjust as in photo. The tray slider operates the master. (The xfce lower panel in the photo is autohidden, works also with jwm.)
Note: the curve and the mute point are correct. It's simple, small (10k), and just what I want.

Post subject: Clarification, please
Subject description: of odd announcement
Pizzasgood et al:
As noted above, the the new version 13 in the first post gave this: "Error, package retrovol-0.13 failed to install."
Now, I happened to see on Barry's blog2 that he has compiled it in Wary and in Ubuntu Lucid on the Mele 1000 (37K, 37K):
This one works. It's also smaller. Also, how does one get to the options you mentioned?
I have both Barry's new retrovol and my new absvolume control running in the same taskbar. It seems Barry is using the preferable logarithmic curve also. They are both well behaved and each slider updates the other. Win - win
Forgot to mention that defaultaudiomixer needs to set for retrovol for self starting of course, if that's your choice.

You right-click on the icon and go to "Configure Window". Alternately, pop up the main window and use File->Configure. The new options are right at the top of the "Main" tab.

Hmm. I'll see if I can adjust things to avoid an outright crash in that situation.
Also, I noticed today that I implemented the "Exponential" mode wrong, so I'll fix that too. I'm not sure how I messed something that simple up. Since it's supposed to be the exact opposite of the "Logarithmic" mode, it obviously just needed the exact same base formulas, only swapped around. I must have been more tired than I thought to have missed that. Oh well, easy fix.
I'll try to get 0.13.1 out tomorrow evening.

0.13.1 is up. It doesn't exactly handle stopped alsa ideally (if you have it running from a terminal, you'll see a new error message each time it tries accessing the card, which is very spammy), but it didn't outright die when I tested. It might even theoretically be able to resume working when you bring alsa back up, but I was unable to successfully revive alsa without rebooting, so I couldn't verify that.
This one has a couple more strings available to be translated as well, due to rectifying a couple oversights from the last build.
The Exponential mode should work sensibly in this version. Or to be more specific, it should correctly be the opposite behavior of the Logarithmic scale. Whether those two settings are sensible is another story
I think that they might be too non-linear, so I'm considering adding a variable to control that. Tempted to add a little graph widget to show how it impacts the response curve too.

Good morning,
Retrovol 0.13.1 works well here.
Tempted to add a little graph widget . . .
More complication? Well, if you must. I'll keep using the "simple volume control" described above.

Post subject: capture bar retrovol never activated
Subject description: Retrovol needed by many multimedia apps
never the capture volume is set up.
I know that.
Is there a reason why the capture volume is not raised ?
Bacon recorder settings
(Older puppies series 4 had a lot of sound setting problems )
Tuto video
here after, click :
settings retrovol
cette configuraton est à utiliser, use these settings.
Retrovol is not responsible of non working audio,
often audio is activated elsewhere, welcome barks ? for instance, so alsamixer and alsaconf fail.
Don't forget to activate retrovol, ASRI !

If you told me that Bogut was not going to be playing, I would never have predicted this. With the addition of Jack and Landry, I could have seen them being over .500 at this point, but that's about it. Those two guys have given them everything you could have expected and more.
Also, the rookies have been a lot better than I would have thought.....I would have expected their contributions to be a lot less than they have been. Barnes I would expect a little something from....but hell, a lot of rookies don't even get on the floor much, let alone make big contributions.
Let's see how well they sustain this. What's great about this team is they all appear to be quality people. From interviews I've seen of the players, there do not appear to be any head cases or ego jerks on the team. They all seem like great guys, and team guys. I really commend the Warriors management for putting together this group, and making such a significant turnaround and step forward in such a short time.

I knew they would play well this season, but this was alot better than I would've imagined. Major shout out to the front office for the picks and also the free agents they brought in. As it stands the warriors are covered at every spot, double depth at each position, as we see now, that is showing at our favor. With the injury to Bogut and Rush, we still have players that have filled in admirally, all playing at high levels.
But this month will tell us alot, January will be tough month, it will also cement our position in the league. And I mean cement our position even without Bogut, and when Bogut returns we should then be better. |
Better ownership, better front office, better coaching, better roster and no more losers like Cohan-Twardzik-St. Jean-Mullin-Riley!
Yeah you hear people say it all the time, in regard to any sort of business or organization, how it all comes from the top down. But it really is true. There are a few exceptions to the rule (Donald Sterling is just lucky right now) but usually that's how it works. |
How about "Against all odds" motto for this season, like we had "We believe" era? Or is it too lame?
When I look at the All-Star voting, how much attention we get in the media (in the top news I couldn't find one saying Warriors beat Clippers)...it seems like we are still old lousy Warriors, when, in fact, we are close to being top 5 team in the league. |
Stephen Curry and David Lee are both Chris Mullin players. And Riley is still our head scout. I have no qualms over the drafting since his arrival. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
You can make a long list of things that have surprised me (Curry staying healthy, Lee breaking out, rookie contributions, Jack/Landry making a huge difference, etc.) but the one that's probably surprised me the most is that Biedrins is actually contributing. I NEVER thought I would see him do anything worthwhile in a W's uniform again. Glad to be wrong.
I don't know if this was Mullins fault or not, but trading J-Rich after the we believe era was a huge mistake. Specially since we got a rookie back that never turned into anything. Then following that up by not retaining B. Davis.... those two were the heart of sould of the we believe team. Hind sight is 20-20, but as I recall most people didn't like that when it happened. Then again there was some reports that those were not Mully's decisions... so we can never know. Also, the trade for Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington proved to be a stroke of genius. So no way in the world would I call Mully a loser, but I still not convinced he was a great GM... might have been a good one, but not a great. As far as Riley... how can you not give him partial credit for our recent success? He was a big part in the draft for Curry and Klay. He was a huge part in getting Lee. He was a part of getting Bogut (yet to see how that pans out). I think it was a team effort, but he was a big part of it. I think the ownership knows that and recognizes his talent at scouting talent and evaluating them, and that is why he is one of the few that is still part of the team. "Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard"
: 2010 - 2011 |
In addition to the signings and the drafts, I think the critical thing the management did is realizing they had to get rid of Monta if they wanted to improve. This got the team passing more, and got everyone playing like a team. Nobody stands around and watches anymore. Everyone is active and everyone is involved. It's just better basketball. Yeah, we'll have to wait and see with Bogut, but all evidence says it's been addition by subtraction already.
Making him tradeable now, best value he'll probably ever have. migya make the ring fall on ya |
It's nice to see him playing better lately, but I don't know how tradeable he is with that contract. Who wants to pay $9 million for somebody that plays 10 minutes ? I guess he has some value but it's likely they'd have to take another overpaid player in the deal. They're probably stuck with him till his contract expires, and anyway, they actually need him, or somebody like him, especially with Bogut out. He's probably going to end up playing out his contract as a Warrior. As hobbes says we should just be happy that he's making a contribution. I don't understand what's up with not being able to shoot free throws. What is that ? Some kind of mental block thing...It's like the mental gets all disturbed, and makes the physical all messed up. Look how he shoots. His knees don't even bend. Don't they tell him these things ? It's so weird... |

Beans has no trade value, what so ever, we are better off keeping him on our team, and getting what we are from him, that seems like the only choice actually. Free throws is all about mechanic and repetition, and other factors including mental issues, he looks real uncomfortable on the line. |
The two strikes you mentioned were not actually Mullin's fault: The rumor was that the J-Rich trade was Part 1 of a 2-Step deal to get Kevin Garnett. With Wally Szczerbiak on Boston's roster (plus no one of note besides Pierce), the buzz was that Golden State appeared poised as favorites to land Garnett and Boston had no chance. If you recall, Garnett even publically stated that he would veto a trade to the Celtics (most speculated, due to his feud with Szscerbiak). Supposedly, Mullin was to parlay two separate deals to the T-Wolves: the first being a package of Monta Ellis, Al Harrington, and the #8 prospect for Garnett. The second was the J-Rich trade exception for a bad contract or fillers. Word is, Minnesota coveted Al Thornton and the deal began to fall apart when the Warriors selected Brandan Wright due to a lack of communication with Wolves management. And when Boston made the deal for Ray Allen (sending Wally to Seattle), Garnett became more willing to make a Celtics trade happen. But if you believe the whispers, the only reason Mullin dealt Richardson was in an attempt to land Garnett 2 years removed from his MVP. As it turned out, Boston won a title the following year and Golden State rotted. Secondly, Mullin had a 5-year extension worked out with Baron Davis that then-President, Robert Rowell, vetoed (in retrospect, a good decision... But as you mentioned, not a very popular one at the time). Rowell's dealings with Stephen Jackson in spite of Mullin, his undermining Chris' BD extension, and the various political shots being launched backstage are said to be the fuel expediting Mullin's departure (also an unpopular decision, as Mully was the only competent GM figure the Warriors had in 20 years - effectively ending the playoff drought and making the team vibrant and relevant again. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
If Bogut can return with little to no complications, then Biedrins could be easily moved next season as he becomes an expiring contract. Especially if Ezeli improves, which I think he will, then it would make Biedrins expendable. Getting depth back for Biedrins would be the only option.
Thanks for the history leason I only watched games back then,didn't follow them as closely as I do now. As just a viewer, those transactions did seem "odd". "Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard"

The Nats look to shake off last night's tough loss at Minute Maid Park.
What a tough way to lose last night. After falling behind early, the Nationals rallied to take a 7-6 lead in the top of the ninth, only to watch as the Astros stole the game back and won 8-7 on Lance Berkman's two-out, two-strike, two-run single in the bottom of the ninth.
A couple of thoughts about the way the game ended: 1) Yes, Berkman went around on that check swing and should have been called out, ending the game. 2) You can't blame it all on that missed call, because the Nats had plenty of other chances to win the game without that play. 3) Matt Capps really only made one mistake the entire inning, on the double by Cory Sullivan. He was done in by Ryan Zimmerman's error, an intentional walk and a very nice piece of hitting by Berkman on that final pitch (which was low and out of the strike zone). 4) The Nats had some golden opportunities to pad their lead in the eighth and ninth but got some poor at-bats from Adam Kennedy, Cristian Guzman, Josh Willingham and Alberto Gonzalez.
So instead of going for their third straight tonight, the Nationals will look to bounce back from yet another tough, one-run loss. John Lannan faces Wandy Rodriguez in a matchup of left-handers.
I didn't make the trip to Houston with the club, so there will be no in-game updates. As always, please feel free to converse with each other throughout…

I concede that I did not see the game, but fail to understand how we could have a 7-6 lead but lose 8-6.
- Doc - Jun 2, 2010 at 9:39 PM
All the things that you said about the game are true Mark. Still, in all, it was neat the way they came back. Good teams come back like that. Some good at bats, and some weak at bats. Capps wasn't as bad as the result would indicate. He made some good pitches.

- Grandstander - Jun 2, 2010 at 10:39 PM
The way I hear it, he was tired of being monosyllabic. Glad to see him in the lineup against the lefty. He at least stands a chance.It's kind of funny to look at the bottom of our lineup and groan, and then look at the bottom of their lineup and suddenly not mind.
- MikeHarris - Jun 2, 2010 at 10:44 PM
I'm also ticked he cut his hair.Why doesn't monosyllabic only have one syllabel? Odd that a word that describes ONE should have five?I'm getting punch drunk waiting for Tuesday.Trivia: Can you name the diet soft drink with 11 syllabels? Is that how you spell syllabels?

Still, in all, it was neat the way they came back. Good teams come back like that.Its extremely galling … exasperating perhaps is a better word? That Jim Bowden turned out to be right when he said that by the end of May the Nats would be in the NL East basement without additional help from outside.

It's beginning to feel like old times.In spring training we looked like a FAST team that would play great DEFENSE. Now we barely steal bases and make lots of stupid errors.We're reverting to the team that takes cold-hitting players and heats them up.We make clown-losers like Wandy look like Cy Young. This joker has struck out SIX of ten outs in this game!We heat up cold teams.We keep things really close, then do just enough to lose at the end.We believe we can win in MLB without a right fielder. Our pitchers and pinch-hitters fail to get down sacrifice bunts.We choke with the bases loaded.Strasbug cannot fix all this himself.

Back to the Nats game…………..8th walk for Zim in the series so far
- Brian - Jun 3, 2010 at 1:32 AM
What is up with the umpires in MLB? That was an obvious blown call that cost Detroit a perfect game. Come on, on the last out of a perfect game, the ump should have made the right call, even if there was the slightest bit of doubt.
- Brian - Jun 3, 2010 at 1:35 AM
Wow, what an interesting scenario – MASN breaks to commercial, thinking Hammer struck out, but it was catcher's interference. The Nats get new life in this inning…

Meixler, it started yesterday in the 1st inning of the game, giving the worst hitting team in the league some confidence.Bad time to do it.

This is really pathetic. Hapless, lifeless. The comparisons of Desmond to Jeter are starting to die down a bit. The Nats are one injury away from another 100-loss season. Strasburg can look forward to lots of 2-1 losses, with the two runs unearned thanks to his team's defense.
- K.D. - Jun 3, 2010 at 2:56 AM
Desmond looks like he needs a day off, no excuse but it has been a long road trip. Focus has definitely been a challenge for a few position players. Is it just me or does Lannan need to work quicker to keep the guys behind him in the game and on their toes.
- Cwj - Jun 3, 2010 at 6:14 AM
Hahaha Doomsday for the Nats at 26-28? Everything evens out in the end. The Nats are a team on the rise, but they are not playoff contenders just yet…I believe the earliest predictions were for 2012.
- Anonymous - Jun 3, 2010 at 9:56 AM
IMO they need Pudge back… it's very simple, they've been away from him too long. Not just for his attitude but because he is so much better than the rest of our catchers.
- Andrew - Jun 3, 2010 at 12:07 PM
Cwj – With so much parity in the NL this year, I still think the Nats can knock off a long winning streak and go after the Wild Card.2011 I think is certainly in reach for a serious run. Rizzo knows where his holes are and he also needs to take care of a few contract extensions. I am one that believes Adam Dunn is an integral part of the success and needs a contract extension.
- K.D. - Jun 3, 2010 at 12:37 PM
They need to do whatever it takes to tighten up the defense. If by the Allstar break that has not happened, all the good pitching (even Strasburg) in the world won't get you the Wild Card.
- N. Cognito - Jun 3, 2010 at 12:51 PM
K.D. said… "They need to do whatever it takes to tighten up the defense. If by the Allstar break that has not happened, all the good pitching (even Strasburg) in the world won't get you the Wild Card."This season has been a lot more fun than the last 2-3 years but an objective evaluation of the Nats says they're not true competitors for the WC.The Nats have some hitting but they still have way, way too many at bats where they get themselves out. Desmond is beginning to remind me a little of a non-muscular Elijah Dukes – trying to pull everything. Unless you're an elite hitter, that's a recipe for a short career.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 3, 2010 at 1:14 PM
N. Cognito… good call on Desmond. He needs to take breaking and off speed stuff up the middle and to right field. The whole team strikes out too much.And speaking of strike outs, J. Max went 3 for 5 last nite in Sryacuse ( no hits but 3 K's).
- Anonymous8 - Jun 3, 2010 at 1:28 PM
NatsJack, don't you mean JMax was 0-5?
- A DC Wonk - Jun 3, 2010 at 1:35 PM
I agree with Cwj: "The Nats are a team on the rise, but they are not playoff contenders just yet."If we're not happy with 26-28, remember that at one point last year we were 26-66 (!!). You don't go from back-to-back 100+ loss seasons to the post-season in one year.As for Desmond, most SS's make lots of errors their rookie year. Starting pitching: With Strassy coming up, and a future that may include some of the following: Zimmermann, Wang, Olsen, Detwiler, & Marquis (to add to Livan, Lannon, and perhaps JD Martin) — that certainly looks promising. Relief pitching actually has been pretty good, and Storen ought to get better with experience. Pudge won't continue to hit .320, but he'll be a huge step up in catching, both offensively and defensively from what we have.If just some of those pitchers pan out, then perhaps we are only one outfielder away from having a truly solid post-season team.In the meantime, enjoy that we're on the upswing. Sure, it'll be frustrating at times (like last night), but it's light years ahead of last year.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 3, 2010 at 1:51 PM
Anonymous8… No.. I keep his strike out average instead of his batting average. With hits he's always O'fer or 1'fer but with K's he's always at least 2'fer.Between Nats and Syracuse he's striking out at a better than .350 pace.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 3, 2010 at 1:56 PM
I just updated his stike out average and J. Max is now at .364.
- Steve M. - Jun 3, 2010 at 3:34 PM
NatsJack – THAT IS HILARIOUS!!! and SAD. I hate laughing at the expense of others but that is too funny and sad.As has been said before, Rizzo has (had) a mancrush on JMax. That is the only reasonable explanation with the Plan B he had in place for RF when they let Elijah Dukes go.JMax did nothing in Spring Training and since then. He has regressed as a hitter to a point he doesnt even belong in AAA. He looked disinterested when he is in the dugout in DC which is probably the fact he hated riding the pine.Brandon "Boomer" Whiting is doing well with his promotion, but I am still scratching my head about him. Fast kid with good contact but hadn't hit for average (doing well at Syracuse so far) although he draws alot of walks and has a nice OBP. They take him from "A" ball hitting .225 and move him straight up to "AAA". Big promotion. So Mark, what is the backstory on Boomer Whiting? Most thought he was a temp on loan while Maxwell took his time getting back to Syracuse.

Back from the abyss
If ever there was a year more topsy-turvy, nobody in Mammoth can remember it.
From the blackness of the first six months (bankruptcy, record-bad snow season, mass layoffs at the ski area, etc.), Mammoth emerged at the end on a very bright note.
It was almost like falling in love all over again.
A continuous revolving door
There were so many old faces leaving and new faces arriving in Mono County during 2012, it was almost enough to suffer whiplash.
The 2012 elections brought a new majority to the Mono County Board of Supervisors, as candidates Tim Fesko, Fred Stump, and Tim Alpers replace Supervisor Tim Hansen, Duane "Hap" Hazard, and Vikki Magee Bauer, respectively.
To the edge and then back again
Practically everyone calls it "The Bankruptcy," even though Mammoth never actually crossed that line.
The town came close enough, though, and it seemed at times as if the eyes of the nation—and certainly California—were focused on Mammoth in the same way television crews and bystanders wait nearby to see the precise moment when the house slides off the cliff.
Bad to worse, worse to worst
It was not just Mammoth that got hit with the bad snow season in 2011-12.
Everyone in the U.S., with the exception of the ski areas in the extreme Northwest, had a ski season that started late—Mammoth got just two inches of snow in December—and continued to stink through the February ski holidays. Snow didn't arrive until the spring, by which time it was too late to save the season.
Saved by the bell
Mono County school districts entered 2012 under the serious threat of severe state budget cuts.
Both of the county's school districts—Mammoth Unified and Eastern Sierra Unified—made cuts early in the year, trimming hundreds of thousands of dollars from budgets that could ill afford it.
In June, Mammoth Unified got a break when district voters agreed to renew a property tax measure.
Bourne, Walker child sex abuse case divides Mammoth
Few Mammoth locals will ever forget Jan. 4, the day Mammoth Hospital surgeon and school board member Andrew Bourne and longtime Mammoth resident Joe Walker, were arrested on suspicion of various counts of child sexual abuse against a young Santa Barbara girl, whose family had long been friends with both men.
New cooperation emerges
It used to be, back in the not-so-old days, it was every man for himself when it came to fishing in the Eastern Sierra.
But when spring arrived early in 2012, the result of a near-disastrous low-snow season, the fishermen and their related businesses found a bond in the new Eastern Sierra Fishing Coalition.
'Devils Windstorm' wreaks havoc in the forest
A freak windstorm that took out tens of thousands of mature pine in the Reds Meadow area on the night of Nov. 30, 2011 might seem like last year's story and not fit for this anthology.
But the repercussion from that night's windstorm could well come back to haunt Mammoth and other affected parts of the Eastern Sierra for decades to come.
In London, the World Cup and here at home
It seemed like every time a sports fan turned around, there was something to catch his or her attention.
If it wasn't John Teller on the World Cup Ski Cross tour, it was Stacey Cook, climbing to 10th in the world in women's World Cup downhill racing, then nabbing her first two World Cup podium finishes on back-to-back days in Lake Louise in early December.
Cancer silences a joyful, obstreperous voice
Skip Harvey died on July 16, leaving an empty spot in Mammoth that nearly everyone felt.
A two-term Mammoth Lakes town councilman and mayor, ski instructor at Mammoth Mountain, and owner of the Base Camp Café, Harvey died at home after a long battle with throat cancer.
He took on just about everyone at one point or another with his iconoclastic points of view, but no one ever questioned his love of the mountains and of Mammoth in particular.
No one dared care
While Mono County blessed the electorate with a genuine dogfight, in Mammoth, voters in the municipal contest were treated (as it were) to the Election That Wasn't.
In spite of a town aswirl in controversy, finger-pointing, blame-gaming, layoffs and general overall mayhem, two seats opened on the Town Council.
Incumbent Jo Bacon signed up for re-election, while political neophyte Michael Raimondo brought his bagel-bagging electorate to the show.
After that, no one.
'Um, what bankruptcy?'
Even before it started, town leaders pushed forward with a "Best Summer Ever" marketing campaign, with more hope than actual promise.
And yet when it was over, no one could argue with it.
From the Fourth of July and Jazz Jubilee all the way to the end, Mammoth's festival season was vibrant, well-attended, and loads of fun.
We recall one evening at the four-day Bluesapalooza and Festival of Beers event at Sam's Wood Site on Minaret Boulevard.
Parks, tracks, you-name it
A distant observer might have thought poor ol' Mammoth was just going to dry up and call it quits, what with all the national, state and local press about the town's tightrope-walk along the brink of financial ruin.
But with a combination of Measure R and Measure U funds, coupled with careful planning, political willpower and the force of volunteerism, Mammoth just kept chugging ahead.
The ski area's CEO pledges new cooperation
Long held as lord of its own separate fiefdom, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area CEO Rusty Gregory began a new era of involvement with the town when he said he's had a change of heart.
In a move that left many Mammothites utterly baffled, Gregory startled the Town Council on Nov. 7 with a jaw-dropping speech.
"I am an impediment to the growth and prosperity of our resort community," he began.
Musicals, complex drama highlighted the season
In 2012, theater audiences were entertained by several diverse productions, from Sierra Classic Theatre's emotionally complex "Proof" to Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre's musical sensation "The Marvelous Wonderettes."
Earlier this year when the lack of snow and holiday-withdrawals started to kick in, MLRT's "Lend Me A Tenor" written by Ken Ludwig kept spirits high with risqué double-entendre and cartoonish physical comedy.

Contact & Info
Feel free to add yourself here if you plan to work on the project. There will be some email-based discussion and record keeping for this project, and that info will be added here if you just want to lurk and complain.
Keycode System Features
- Numberpad on front door
- Database of codes... on pony? With notes? Probably we need a basic schema for what info we do and don't want to log.
- Tom wants it to be a text file with a pin or rfid code per line and comments delimited by hash marks
- Logging keycodes (necessary to be able to shut off problem codes)
- keycodes not formally associated with individuals
- member keycodes differentiable in some way
- keep logs for 7 days
- require 2 users to access logs (cryptographically)
- Keycode Generation
- Distribution
- how to distribute without leaving electronic records associating code with individual?
- the most paranoid users will not trust the system anyway
- Disabling keycodes
- presumably not a feature needed immediately.
There are 3 components to a doorlock system:
- A code entry box (physical hardware)
- Security controller (computer) (we already have minotaur which controls the doorlatch)
- Electronic doorlatch (i.e. buzzer [may be silent])
Commercial door control systems usually have a central controller which is physically located inside the building and cannot be accessed from the entry box. The code entry box is connected to the controller via hard wires (usually serial). The controller can activate the doorlatch via the existing Noisegate relay.
Potential Products
- Jake has volunteered to design and make serially-accessed codepads, one for the gate and one for inside.
- The fucking doorkeypad is finished
- HID prox reader - Supports RS422 and Wiegand
- HID keypad with 125KHz (prox) + 13.56MHz (iClass) - Only supports Wiegand
- Will may need a Wiegand interface:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiegand_interface
- Cost is about $100-150
- Talked to Terry tonight who says he has a friend who has a bunch of access system gear that we could get donated. linuxman2001@gmail -- User:Hurtstotouchfire
Implementation Considerations
- Should we buy or build the controller?
- Shannon wants to replace the current keypad system with something fancy
- Jake thinks we should just add the keypad onto the gate with U-bolts
- we would need to talk to the landlord to do this (unless we can do it without drilling?)
- at present, we plan to just add an additional keypad and only replace the button system if the keypad is successful

Burnett aims to power through injury in finale
Phillies' vet takes mound as southpaw Wood goes for sweep
Thursday will be the first day of the rest of Phillies right-hander A.J. Burnett's season. The veteran announced Tuesday his decision to postpone surgery and pitch through the pain caused by an inguinal hernia.
Burnett, who received a cortisone injection on Monday, described his condition as "manageable." He will begin to manage when he pitches opposite Braves southpaw Alex Wood on Thursday at 1:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park.
"I guess 'manageable' [means] that I'm going to have to deal with it," Burnett said on Tuesday. "Paying attention to it, knowing it's there, knowing what I can do to overdo it and knowing what I can do to keep it where it needs to be. I'm more of a go-getter, and I'm not really a 'take it easy' kind of guy, so it's going to be a test."
Burnett, who said he has pitched with worse, will battle pain as he tries to duplicate the success he enjoyed in his regular-season debut on April 1 against the Rangers. He gave up only one run on seven hits and two walks in six innings.
However, he has struggled with his command since then. Burnett walked 12 batters in his past two starts. He was especially laboring in his most recent outing, with six walks in 4 1/3 innings when he exited with pain due to his hernia.
Meanwhile, Wood has demonstrated much better command, walking only six batters in three starts. His lone issue so far this season is the leadoff home run. In two of his three starts, Wood has served up a long ball to the first batter he faced.
But the most pressing number for Wood as of late is his pitch count. He threw 107 pitches in seven innings of a 2-1 loss to the Nationals on April 6 and 103 in five innings of a 6-3 win against Washington five days later.
Wood eclipsed the century mark only once in 77 2/3 innings in the Majors last season, logging 105 pitches in 5 2/3 innings against the Indians on Aug. 27, 2013. Despite his increased workload this season, Wood feels healthy on the mound.
"I feel all right," Wood said on April 12. "Honestly, tonight was probably the best my body's felt all spring or in a while, definitely since the start. So, I mean, from that aspect, I feel really happy about it. Not necessarily the 105 pitches in five innings, but you know, it kind of happens sometimes, so you've just got to go from there."
Braves: Kimbrel fine after shoulder soreness
Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel went through a successful workout on Wednesday, but the Braves decided to rest the right-hander rather than pitching him in a ninth-inning situation in a 1-0 win against the Phillies.
"I felt so good, I didn't need to throw another pitch," Kimbrel said after a scheduled session before Wednesday's game. "It went good today. The ball was coming out of my hand good. The offspeed was good and nothing was uncomfortable."
Kimbrel was unavailable on Monday night due to shoulder soreness that neither he nor Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez considered serious. He played catch on Tuesday without issue before he his workout on Wednesday went well.
"Yesterday was just a side throw," Kimbrel said. "I didn't throw anything hard enough to know anything."
• Andrelton Simmons became the first player since Willard Marshall in 1951 to hit both a home run and a triple in consecutive games, accomplishing the feat in a 10-2 win against the Nationals on Sunday and a 9-6 win against the Phillies on Monday.
• Braves catcher Evan Gattis finished with a career-high four hits and a solo home run on Wednesday night, continuing a tear against the Phillies that began in 2013.
Gattis has homered six times in his past seven games against Philadelphia, including three dingers in his past five games at Citizens Bank Park. His success against the Phillies has helped Gattis pad his season numbers. He has nine hits in his past 15 at-bats and is hitting .378 (14-for-37) this season.
Phillies: Hamels nears comeback
Cole Hamels is scheduled to make a rehab start Thursday with Class A Advanced Clearwater, which should be his final one before rejoining the Phillies' rotation.
Nobody would say it is a lock, but everybody in the organization seems optimistic that if Thursday goes well as expected, Hamels will rejoin the rotation next week in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium.
Hamels opened the season on the disabled list because of inflammation in his left shoulder. He has sustained no setbacks since March 1.
Worth noting
• The Phillies signed left-hander Adam Loewen to a Minor League contract and assigned him to extended spring training. Loewen, a former pitcher with the Orioles, spent the past five seasons playing first base and outfield in the Mets' and Blue Jays' systems.
• Phillies right-handed reliever Ethan Martin (right shoulder inflammation) started to throw bullpen sessions and outfielder Darin Ruf (strained left oblique) started baseball activities and should begin a hitting progression early next week. Right-hander Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez (right shoulder tendinitis) is getting close to throwing off a mound again. He is on the 60-day DL.

Can it be used as a watch?
Can I wear it as a watch as well as a workout device?

Yes, very usable as a watch. It is very comfortable to wear though out the day. One draw back I have with it is the rigidity of the band. I wish it was more flexible.
- Answered by David W from Modesto
Yes, one of the "metrics" the band displays is the time.

REVIEW: A Million Ways To Die In The West
When you produce, direct, co-write and star in a movie, well, it becomes all about you. And that's the major flaw in Seth MacFarlane's adventurous take on the wild West. He's surrounded by a solid cast but he underuses them all, hogging almost every scene and every joke. Didn't his parents ever tell Seth to share??!!!
Not as strong as "Ted" but much improved from his Oscar hosting, MacFarlane throws a gazillion jokes and bits to the wall and I have to say , about 40-50% of them stick. He's at his best when in farce-mode and his worst with the shocksters. Sheep penis jokes?? Limp. Semen on her head ?? Come on, the Farrelly brothers made a career on that with Cameron Diaz in "There's Something About Mary" 16 years earlier.
MacFarlane plays a cowardly sheep farmer in Arizona who's dumped by his girlfriend (Amanda Seyfried) when he backs out of a gunfight. She immediately takes up with the slickly mustached Foy (gamely played by an outstanding Neil Patrick Harris). MacFarlane's Albert, meanwhile, befriends and ultimately falls in love with a mysterious blonde who moves to town (breezily played by the truck-driver-mouthed Charlize Theron). Unbeknownst to Albert, she's married to the most notorious outlaw in the West (a severely underused Liam Neeson). Giovanni Ribisi and Sarah Silverman round out the stellar cast as a much in-love Christian couple saving themselves for marriage, though she's one of the most popular prostitutes at the local saloon.
While some of the scenes are drawn out (thus, the close to 2 hour running time), many hysterical one liners fly by- so pay attention. Also hilarious: a few cameos, including Gilbert Gottfried , who so steals his scene, you'll be begging for more. Using today's modern language and slang makes it even funnier.
You gotta go with the raunch on this one. If that offends you at all, do yourself a favor and stay away. Otherwise, there are definitely enough laughs here to satisfy. A "Blazing Saddles" classic, it ain't. But that's a high bar to reach. Look at it this way. Most Westerns are almost as painful to watch as living the life in the Wild West ( which is the premise of this whole movie). MacFarlane has us feeling but laughing at their pain. It has sharp moments but this could have used sharper editing .

Customer Reviews for Office Gray New Additions Blindsgalore
"Fantastic drapes"
By customer
I was hesitant to purchase these since I couldn't get a swatch, however I was extremely pleased with the drapes. I returned three other drapes from other places because I wasn't happy with the texture and appearance and I am very happy I ended up with these. They are very soft and appear to be durable. They do let light through but block the majority of it out. The stitching seems sound, I didn't notice any loose threads or runs. Out of the box I am very pleased.

By bon from Cleveland, Ohio
We have a large Bay Window in our home built which was in 1946. So every winter cold air comes through the glass. We have tried heavy insulated curtains and more. In searching Blinds Galore we read about the insulation properties of triple cell shades. Tried them and they work GREAT it is 10 degrees in sunny Cleveland, Ohio as I am writing this and my living is warm!!!! Great product.

Battle of aces: Yu vs. Felix, Round one
Darvish, Hernandez have respect for each other, opponent
Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish said he knows how to handle Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez.
"I like to be careful and lay off his changeup but I'd hit his two-seam fastball out of the park," Darvish said.
He was kidding.
"All joking aside, I'm not too worried about the other pitcher," Darvish said. "I just pitch my game."
The two No. 1 starters will be facing each other tonight when the Rangers host the Mariners in the third of their four-game series. Darvish doesn't have to worry about facing Hernandez, but he does have plenty of respect for him.
"I think he's one of the top three pitchers in the big leagues," Darvish said.
Hernandez has certainly earned that reputation across baseball, but the Rangers have been a problem for him. Hernandez will be making his 40th start against the Rangers and he has a career record of 12-20 with a 4.18 ERA. The 20 losses are the most ever by a pitcher against the Rangers since they moved to Arlington in 1972.
It usually takes a Hall of Fame pitcher to hold the record for most losses against one franchise. According to STATS Inc., Early Wynn has the most losses against one team since 1914. The Hall of Famer was 33-58 in his career against the Yankees. Robin Roberts lost 45 times to the Dodgers while Warren Spahn lost 43 times to the Giants and 41 to the Cardinals.
Darvish hasn't overwhelmed the Mariners. He is 3-3 with a 4.78 ERA in seven career starts against them, including 1-1 with a 2.66 ERA against them in three starts last year.
"Not just their new hitters but the hitters they had last year are hitting better this year," said Darvish, who has not allowed a run in his first 15 innings this season.
Hernandez downplayed the matchup with Darvish, whom he beat twice in their only previous meetings in Seattle in 2012 while posting a 0.53 ERA (one earned run in 17 innings).
"Is that a big deal?" Hernandez said when asked about the matchup. "I just have to do my job. That's all I've got to do. If he throws good, I've got to put up zeroes, too."
Hernandez is more wary of facing the Rangers' offense after going 0-4 with a 7.57 ERA against the AL West rivals last year.
"Throwing against Texas pumps me up a little bit, yeah," he said. "They've got me a couple times. I've got to do better."
This will be a somewhat different Rangers lineup, however, particularly with former teammate and long-time friend Adrian Beltre on the 15-day disabled list. The two are known for their friendly verbal warfare during the course of a game.
"He said, 'Now you're safe because I'm not playing,'" Hernandez said. "It'll still be fun. It's kind of weird seeing him on the DL though because he doesn't like to be on the DL. It's the best for him, but I've known him for a long time and he doesn't like to do that."
Mariners: Ackley will be back in left Wednesday
Left fielder Dustin Ackley wasn't in the starting lineup for the second time in three days on Tuesday, but manager Lloyd McClendon said that was strictly a matter of getting the 26-year-old a break against left-hander Robbie Ross of the Rangers before Seattle faces a long stretch of righties.
"Really, there's no story," McClendon said. "He's my left fielder and he's going to play. But we've got no days off on this road trip, we have a long trip to Miami and this is the only opportunity I've got to give him another day. He's going to play the next eight in a row before a day off, so it just made sense."
Ackley was batting .302 in his first 11 games, but will continue hitting toward the bottom of the lineup as McClendon feels that's a good situation for both he and catcher Mike Zunino to learn and mature this year.
Rangers: Noesi makes good first impression
Reliever Hector Noesi faced his former team when he made his debut for the Rangers on Monday night. Noesi retired seven of eight hitters while pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings against the Mariners. Noesi was acquired from the Mariners on Friday for a player to be named.
"I thought he threw the ball well," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He had a good breaking ball and a good fastball and moved the ball around. For the first time out he was pretty good."
Worth Noting
• With Monday's 7-1 win over the Rangers, rookie left-hander Roenis Elias became the third pitcher in Mariners history to pitch at least five innings and allow two runs or less in each of his first three Major League starts. The others -- Felix Hernandez (first four in 2005) and Bob Stoddard (first three in 1981).
• Elias' 2.16 ERA is also the third lowest for the first three career starts for any Mariners pitcher over the past 10 seasons behind the 0.86 of Hernandez in 2005 and 2.12 of James Paxton last year.
• Leonys Martin is 6-for-18 against Hernandez in his short career. That's his most hits and at-bats against any pitcher.

Indulge in the Glitz and Glamour of Las Vegas
Las Vegas has become the world's most popular holiday destination, with more visitors per year than any other city. That's quite an achievement for a city that's sprung from the Nevada desert and become a scarcely believable playground for all tastes.
Las Vegas hotels come in all shapes and sizes imaginable, from the Luxor pyramid, to the glitz of Caesar's Palace through to the decadent luxury that is the Wynn & the Encore at the end of the Strip.
While the city is marketed primarily as a place for adults, there's plenty for families to do as well. Most of the hotels in Las Vegas have catered in some ways for the underage, Excalibur has nightly jousting shows over dinner, Circus Circus has an indoor rollercoaster and amusement park & the MGM has a fantastic five pool complex complete with waterfalls & grottos.
Vegas is also the worlds largest conference and convention destination – you can be pretty sure that every hotel on the strip (and a lot of the off strip Vegas hotels) are hosting at least one gathering on any given day of the year.
With more meeting space than any other city in the world, Las Vegas hosts a number of high profile events throughout the year, including the ABC Kids Expo, the International Vision Expo West 2014, the Solar Energy Trade Show and Mr. Olympia. The city has a number of luxurious convention facilities, including the Cashman Center, the Sands Expo & Convention Center and the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The large casinos offer a variety of dining options, from buffets to gourmet food to simple cafes. Also, Las Vegas is known for great steakhouses with high quality meat cooked to perfection. This city is also home to the famous "Heart Attack Grill" which serves incredibly high calorie menu items such as the "Triple Bypass Burger". Most of the hotels on the Las Vegas strip feature both café type eateries through to fine dining, if you haven't been to the SW steakhouse at the Wynn (named after Steve Wynn's initials!) then you're missing out. The wine selection is second to none and the food is to die for.
Major Points of Interest
The most famous attraction in Vegas is gambling and there are countless enormous glittering casinos where you can spend hours hypnotised by card games and slot machines. This city also offers lots of great nightly entertainment, including comedy shows, live musical theatre, erotic dance clubs, variety shows and circus acts. Also, get a thrill on the rides, such as "The X-Scream" at the Stratosphere Hotel and "The Roller Coaster" at the New York New York Hotel. That's not all that Las Vegas has to offer though, you're only a short drive away from untouched desert with some of the best vistas in the States, Red Rock Canyon is less than an hour away, as is the world famous Hoover Dam, or the more adventurous could always book a helicopter ride and see the Grand Canyon.
Las Vegas is a shopping lover's playground, with many great malls to choose from. The Fashion Show Mall offers sweet styles from popular designers, the Town Square provides relaxing open air shopping and the Las Vegas Premium Outlets boasts discounts on your favorite brands.
The city's most important sporting event of the year is the finals of the annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit. It is held in December at the Thomas & Mack Center. A number of hotels in Las Vegas have also hosted the annual World Series of Poker, most recently the Rio Hotel and Casino has held that honor attracting tens of thousands of professional players from across the globe. Las Vegas also hosts the USA Sevens, part of an annual circuit of events for rugby sevens teams.
