please help with xserver for 2.9

1. steps to reproduce problem: Just download the 2.9 /i386 files from
, create a boot floppy via- rawrite (floppy29.fs) boot and install all. I did choose yes, that i did intend to run xserver. No packages were added just the base system with X. Reboot. Login as root and cd / , cd usr, cd X11R6, cd bin. When in the usr/X11R6/bin dir. type XF86cfg. The configuration tools comes up. I then configured my screen0 for card0 @ 600*800 . I then select my card ( i have two different machines and both produce the same error ) trident or elsa depending on machine with the correct driver. I then choose my monitor type vga. After all this i choose the quit button and the system pops up a dialog box with the following statement. XF86Config ( write config. to /root/XF86Config.new & lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard ) i choose yes to both. I am then dumped into a shell with the following comments from the Xserver:
could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/ , removing from list!
the next line is the same except /Speedo is Type1.
loader running on openbsd :)
X connection to :8.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
Every time i run xf86cfg and setup everthing then choose to save it it dumps me back to the shell with the same above error.
Ok even with the above error i still have tried to (startx) The following is the error from this command.
# startx
XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System etc......
error messages:
(= =) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log",
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile( )
Fatal server error:
no screens found
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
I have re-run the xf86cfg tool several times with the same results and now i am asking for help.
I saw the errata about a x problem but it was for the XF86Setup and not xf86cfg and a patch was applied to the patch tree for 2.9. I needed to sync my tree anyways so here is the following i have done so far.
setenv CVSROOT
cd /usr; cvs checkout -P -rOPENBSD_2_9
recompile my kernel save copy as bsd.old and boot with new kernel
after reboot with new kernel i recompiled the binaries as instructed.
try to configure the xserver again with same results.
I have also downloaded the 6-19/20 snapshot and the x server does work and the xf86cfg tool is slightly different. The problem with the snapshot is that any packages added after base install does not work because of lib. problems. Every package added gives the lib26.2 error.
/usr/libexec/ld.so: xxx: libc.so.26.2: No such file or directory.
for example i added package joe-the editor and rebooted
at the root type joe # joe and the above error is given. the same error is given with every package added. this i why i decided to install the General Release 2.9 but now i am having X-problems.
System information.
1. compaq ap400 with 6gig ide hd, elsa synergy video card, 128 ram, pent.II 450 mhz.
2. home built, 17gig ide hd, 512 ram, amd-k6-550 mhz, trident 8660 video card.
both systems install the OpenBsd code fine and run like a champ except the problems listed above.
Now the logs requested:

Hey guys!
So I'm trying really hard to get out from under my boss right now, but right now i'm getting paid relatively well while I look for something else. I found a couple of places I'm thinking about applying, but I need some advice. There's no one I can really ask about these types of things, so I'm going to have to count on the internet! I wanna use this thread for help big time, since I don't have a clue. I was raised out of town, no experience really, and honestly am just nervous about it all. I have five questions at the moment that I'm hoping you guys can help me out with...Then I wanna keep asking questions as I think of them. I appreciate your guys' support through my hard times right now, and for being so non judgmental of me.
1) My friend works for a vet office and told me she might be able to get me a job as a kennel tech, but to keep looking in the meantime. I'm just looking at every place and that made me think of our equine hospital. They aren't advertising for hiring, but if I called and asked, or stopped in and just let them know I was looking (I know the vet very well) do they have positions like that? I mean, they have to, right? Someone who takes care of all the cleaning and maintenance so the vets aren't doing it. I guess my main question is, what is that position called? It wouldn't be a kennel tech...There's no kennels.
2) There is a hunter jumper barn who is one of the few close enough that don't already know who I am. I figured calling them up and asking if they need a stall cleaner, even part time, would be a good idea (No one I know can afford to hire another hand). My problem is, I'm so underconfident these days. I'm nervous to call them up. I guess this isn't really a question, more of a "What if they think I'm an idiot kid looking for a job with pretty ponies?" Those of you that know me know I'm definitely not but...they don't know that.
3) Okay, so the next one is about a barista position. There's been a couple coffee places who are hiring but I keep hearing about how the other girls there are all bitchy and rude to the new girls which makes me nervous. I would never show how underconfident I am and would give them a run for their money if they acted like that to me, but I don't want to dread going to work. I've known six girls who have worked and all the stories are the same. It's just unnerving me. What would you do?
4) The local Boot Barn might be hiring. I have a friend who works there. I am concerned about just dropping by and asking, in case she's there (I love her but she would shatter my 'professional' image, though I'd be more comfortable applying here) do you think I should just call and ask? Or strategically ask her if she's working then sneak in there when I know she's not? LOL. It'd be great to work with her after I get hired, but before that I wouldn't know how to act around her, and I wouldn't want the people there to think I'm just there to work with my "bestest best friend everrr"
5) Okay! Last one! There's those little hiring centers at walmart, but they're never turned on when I walk by. I keep thinking "I should apply, since it's so close to home.." but I would feel really stupid going up to the machine to find it turned off or are you supposed to turn the thing on yourself? Or ask someone? I feel like this is a really stupid question lol
Thanks so much in advance, I'm sure I'll think of more...This is my teenage nerves coming out...

Far be it for a forester with mud on his boots to disagree with Rob Colones, the president of a huge health care system, such as McLeod Health, about a topic within the health care system, but here goes!
In his recent op-ed encouraging S.C. to accept the $11.2 billion in federal funds to broaden health coverage for the uninsured in our state under Obamacare, his obviously slanted view has to be recognized and addressed.
I think that all of the views that I have read which are in favor of accepting the federal funds and control have come from folks who stand to gain financially.
The opposing views come from our elected officials who are knowledgeable about the long-term effect that this will have on our well being.
Mr. Colones' article states that 44,000 jobs will be created by accepting the federal funds. Mr. Colones says that these jobs will boost the state's economy and generate sufficient tax to offset the difference that it will cost the state (you and me).
What projected costs have ever been accurate? We have never seen a federally funded give-away program end, but we have always seen the cost of that program grow exponentially.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is already over budget. How confident are we to believe that our state is going to end up paying only 10 percent of this cost — and most importantly, 10 percent of what figure?
I think that we should compare this to the state government's college scholarship programs and what has happened to the cost of a college education.
We agreed on the S.C. Lottery to help fund college education and look what happened to the cost of college tuition. It has grown at a much faster rate than inflation.
The colleges and universities have obviously taken advantage of the funds that were supposed to help us with the cost of educating our children. Education costs us more today than it did before.
Will the same thing happen with the cost of health care? If you and I agree to pay for the health insurance of those who will not work, will the cost of health services' increase to offset it all? The answer is yet another question: "Are there people who make money from health care?"
Our problem lies in the cost of health insurance and in government interference with health coverage.
When I purchase health insurance and see the agent make an automatic 25 percent profit, when I see that I cannot go outside of my state to purchase insurance that is cheaper, when I see the federal government mandating what my insurance company will cover and what coverage I can purchase, when I see that my personal health coverage went up 20 percent since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in 2010, and I hear the call for more government control, my head spins.

It's Census Day - Northwest Queens Residents Urged to Fill Out and Return Test Questionnaires
Dave McMahon
Public Information Office
(301) 763-3691/457-3620 (fax)
Release Information
Thursday, April 1, is "Census Day" for residents of the Astoria, Corona, Elmhurst, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Long Island City and Woodside neighborhoods of Queens. Residents are encouraged to fill out and return their 2004 Census Test questionnaires now.
"The information that respondents report on their forms should reflect the makeup of their households on Census Day (April 1)," said New York Regional Director Tony Farthing. "If the Census Bureau does not receive a completed form from you, a census worker will have to visit your household to get your information."
The 2004 Census Test is one of a series of activities the U.S. Census Bureau conducts in preparation for the 2010 Census. Before each 10-year census, the Census Bureau carries out these tests to evaluate new methods and procedures. The 2004 test in Queens is specifically looking at improving the way data is collected on race and Hispanic origin and at the feasibility of using handheld computers for collecting data.
"Information supplied by residents is confidential," said Farthing. "All census employees take an oath not to disclose the information they collect. They may be fined or sent to jail if they break that oath."
Census tests are critical to ensure a more cost-effective and accurate 2010 Census. For the Census Bureau to do a better job in the next census, it needs to find out now what works best in communities like northwest Queens.
For more information about the 2004 Census Test, residents
may call (877) 648-9821.

Thank god for broke ass boys and huge college expenses. Their hard times bring us hard cocks. We hand out the cash and you enjoy the action.
They begin kissing and it is Aaron who makes the first move and helps Reigner out of his undies. He just pulls them down he didn't work them all the way off. He sucks that cock and Reigner moans in delight. Then he rolls off and Aaron returns the favor helping him out of his shorts and then reaches into his underwear to grab his semi hard cock. He begins to suck on that dick and Aaron leans back and just enjoys that tongue and mouth on his hard dick.

As scandalous as it was for John Tortorella to suggest the Canucks buy out Alex Burrows, it's easy to understand why he might think that way. If this was the first year you'd ever really watched Alex Burrows play, I'm sure you'd be at a loss for why he was a fan favourite, let alone how he could possibly have cracked 25 goals in each of his last 4 full seasons in the NHL.
2013-14 was a horrible year for the Canuck winger. At some point, he was less a top-line winger than simply a metaphor for the entire team's awful season: snake-bitten, beset by injuries, lacking confidence, bewildered as to what the heck was going on, excruciating to watch.
For much of the year, Burrows looked destined to be the best player to ever have a goalless season in the NHL. But eventually he managed to find his way, and with it, the back of the net. For about a week he knew how again, pouring in five in six days before returning to his carousel of injuries and bad bounces. So let's take a moment to watch the five goals he did score, as we begin our annual, player-by-player look at every goal the Canucks scored last season with the man that closed last year's series: Alex Burrows.Continue Reading —›

Dubrovnik HR
History and culture
Dubrovnik is a city with a rich history stretching back to the 7th century when its beginnings are recorded—its best-known history is related to the period of the aristocratic Republic of Dubrovnik, which endured through to the late 19th century. Throughout its history, Dubrovnik has been the site of the construction of monumental edifices, now a part of the city's tourist favorites. The city walls, the Minčeta and Lovrijenac fortresses, St. Blaise Church and other sacral buildings, the large and small Onofrio fountains, Orlando's column and the town bell tower are just a few of the famed monuments visitors can tour.

Pannell, RCU shine at national conference
Myra Pannell, an instructional design specialist at Mississippi State Univeristy's Research and Curriculum Unit, was recognized recently at the Association for Career and Technical Education's annual convention and career tech expo in St. Louis, Mo., with the 2011 Service Award by the Engineering and Technology Education Division. She has been the division's post-secondary supervision representative for the past three years.
In her service to the committee, Pannell acted as a liaison between community colleges and ACTE.
The association "wanted us to communicate with community colleges and see what needs they had and what we could do on a national level to be of support to them," she said, when asked to describe her committee work.
This year, she will be the division secretary.
ACTE is the national organization for career-technical education, something in which the RCU is widely invested.
Betsey Smith, the RCU's curriculum manager, believes national conferences like this one are important in how the curriculum department conducts its work. The ACTE conference is "where our group in curriculum can see trends or give trends that Mississippi is moving towards," she said.
With more than 27,000 ACTE members nationwide and an estimated 4,000 conference attendees, important contacts are made at these conferences. According to Smith, those contacts can often translate into new ideas that the RCU can pass along to Mississippi's school districts and eventually on to the individual CTE programs.
Pannell agrees.
"We use (the conference) to try to gauge where we are," Pannell explained, noting how she enjoys learning how Mississippi measures up to, and often exceeds, other states in the development of career-technical education.
Another major aspect of these conferences is the committees on which members can serve. These committees are often involved in the writing of national policy that states look to as guidelines when making CTE decisions. Smith was asked to represent the Guidance and Career Development Policy Committee as the Region IV representative.
After a "rigorous selection process," Robin Parker, RCU manager of curriculum, instruction and assessment, was invited to serve on the ACTE School Reform Taskforce, a committee comprised of 12 career-technical education leaders and educators from across the state.
The committee, which also met at last year's conference, is working to finalize a white paper and recommendation to the national legislature. The report, which will be completed and published in March 2012, "will specifically drive ACTE's advocacy efforts for policy change related to school reform, and the role that CTE should play in good, successful school reform," said Parker.
In addition to promoting CTE programs at the national level, Parker also made two presentations at ACTE, as did many others on the RCU staff. Among those presenting papers were Pannell, Smith, Marilyn Bowen, Denise Sibley, Cathy Davis, Emily Owen, Scott Kolle, Leanne Long and Sean Owen.
Topics covered included everything from "The Career Pathway Experience: Closing the Work-Based Learning Opportunity Gap in a Jobless Economy" to "Preparing Teachers for the 21st-Century Classroom Through Performance-Based Instructional Strategies."

A new version of TweetDeck, the computer application that helps bring order to the cacophony of the Twittersphere and other social-media networks, will allow users to send and monitor updates within the Google Chrome web browser.
Rather than having to download a desktop computer-specific application, "TweetDeck for Chrome" users will be able to stream social-media updates through multiple vertical channels in a manner similar to the original desktop TweetDeck application, released in 2008. The channels will also scroll horizontally.
"Since we launched the desktop version a few years ago, the number one requested feature is 'can I run this inside a browser?'", TweetDeck founder and CEO Iain Dodsworth told AlertNet on Tuesday during a preview event in London at the TweetDeck Batcave.
"There are some people that aren't allowed to install things on their machine and it is just easier for them to run it inside a browser."
TweetDeck offers humanitarian agencies free co-branded TweetDecks in which users can choose to have their own branded feeds as the default column settings.
In addition to using TweetDeck to synthesize Twitter searches for information during humanitarian crises, the application has a messaging system, which can be embedded into its border, rather than in the columns, to broadcast important messages to specific locations, Dodsworth explained.
TweetDeck for Chrome will launch free when Google releases its Chrome Web Store, expected later this year.
TweetDeck operates with 15 employees based in the UK, U.S., France and Poland.

Police released the identity of a San Antonio man killed in a traffic collision between a tanker truck and a pickup, which tied up traffic for hours Wednesday in Portland.
Portland Police Sgt. Roland Chavez said 59-year-old Roger Frantz, the driver of the pickup, was traveling north on U.S. 181 when the vehicle rear-ended a Ford sedan near the Buddy Ganem Road exit ramp.
After the collision the pickup continued across a median, hit a light pole and then the rear tires of the tanker truck traveling the opposite direction.
It appeared the pickup's high rate of speed played a factor in the incident according to witnesses, Chavez said.
Police also were waiting on autopsy results late Thursday on Frantz.
The crash damaged a pipe attached to the 18-wheeler's tanker-trailer, causing vapor
to leak from its load of liquid nitrogen. Officials with Air
Liquide Co., which owns the tanker truck, along with fire crews worked to empty the remainder of the tanker's nitrogen for several hours before that stretch of highway was reopened.
The three passengers in the sedan, a 14-year-old girl, 20-year-old Casey Ballard and Roseanne Vasquez, 19, all of Ingleside, were taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial. All three were treated and released Wednesday, Chavez said.

It seems like I am a party pooper or wowser as the aussies say in regards to eMoov.
When I did my research a few months ago there were no dissenting voices of all the opinions I found online, they were all agreed it was a good thing and so nice to save the estate agent's fee of 3k or more. Their enthusiasm was akin to a religious revival meeting !
However my experience is a tad different. In 3 months in Nottingham I have had only ONE enquiry. This was from a local couple who declared my house 'stunning'. The house is certainly not overpriced for what it is, and considering the area it is in.
So having paid several hundred pounds upfront to eMoov I now find myself in the position of having to market with a local estate agent who are strong in the area.
So my advice to those thinking of eselling on eMoov or elsewhere is 'buyer beware'. Check out the experience of other emove sellers in the area, and how many viewings they have had. I noticed an eMoov house a couple of miles away a few weeks back that had not sold. The last time I looked their board had been replaced by a local agent's. So I guess I've come to the same conclusion as them – the internet isn't always better. I grant it's a lot cheaper – if it works.
I also think it is disingenuous and misleading of eMoov to quote their fee as £395. The board is extra, as is the energy certificate (EPC) so when VAT is added on you are paying well over £500.
Also their board seems to be more about advertising their services as selling your house. They should consider giving free to prospective clients one of those additional signs that tag onto the board that says what is house is 'e.g. semi 3 bed extended with garage'. That way they would at least get some passing trade.
The truth is, not everyone is internet-savvy and older couples in general probably are less likely to go on the net to buy a home.
Written on: 08/07/2013
We're sorry that the selling process didn't work out for this particular seller.
However, enquiry levels are of course dependent upon the accuracy of an asking price and despite the huge exposure that online agents like eMoov provide, no agent (offline or online) can 'buck' the market by selling a home that may be seen by potential buyers as optimistically priced.
If a buyer has not been found in three month then, inevitably, it is an overpricing issue.
We always recommend that a seller tries an asking price that they are comfortable with and then that they adjust if they do not receive the required level of interest. It's a pragmatic approach that assisted eMoov in selling £119million worth of properties last year
It is the market that decides an achievable price and over and above a seller's aspirations or that of their agent I'm afraid.
So we think it's a bit unfair to put a downer on the whole internet selling concept in this instance, especially as all estate agents find their buyers from the same place regardless (Rightmove, Zoopla etc). Hundreds of thousands of houses fail to sell via traditional estate agents each and every year unfortunately.
You will end up selling for the same figure no matter which selling route you take and, trust us, selling a property is not predicated around your home being seen in an estate agent's shop window. Your choice is whether to pay a High Street agent thousands to list you on Rightmove etc, or to pay an online agent much less to do the same.
Our fees are very transparent. They are all highlighted on the front page of our website as are our terms and conditions. All estate agents charge additionally for EPC's and all online agents ask you to pay for 'for sale' boards as their simply isn't the margin at our low fees to include one free of charge.
We maintain that even £500 is a bargain compared to the £4000 that traditional agents charge.
Written on: 29/08/2013
I absolutely agree with eMoov

What are black swans and what have they got to do with planning?
The term 'back swan' is a metaphor for a highly improbable event, and is derived from the previously held assumption that 'all swans were white' until the discovery of black swans in Australia. The term 'black swan' then came to connote an occurrence or an event which was previously assumed to be impossible. (Nassim Taleb) The concept is not a new one. In economics, such black swan events are known as outliers, in that they sit outside the range of typical occurrences spread around a mean.
Find out what all of this has to do with planning in this new article –

Archive for the 'L79' tag
One-owner 1966 Chevy II Nova SS L79 to cross the block in Indianapolis
1966 Chevy II Nova SS L79. Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions.
In 1966, at his father's insistence, Roger Burleson ordered a black-on-black 1966 Chevy II Nova SS with the optional L79 V-8 engine as his high school graduation present. Over 48 years, it's accumulated just 52,000 miles, none of them in quarter-mile increments. Described as wearing mostly original paint, with a mostly original interior, this single-owner, single-year muscle car will cross the stage in Indianapolis later this week, giving one lucky bidder a chance to own an uncommon piece of muscle car history.
Though this seems like science fiction today, in 1966 it was possible to walk into a Chevrolet dealership and order a Corvette-engined Chevy II Nova, at a price affordable to nearly anyone with a full-time job. Those preferring show over go could also order the Super Sport trim package with a sensible 194-cu.in. inline six-cylinder engine, but those craving acceleration knew to check the order box for the Corvette's L79 V-8, which delivered 350 horsepower from its 327-cu.in. displacement. Mated to a Muncie four speed and equipped with the Positraction rear and 3.73:1 gearing, a stock L79 Nova was capable of running from 0-60 MPH in 7.2 seconds, completing the quarter-mile in 15.1 seconds at a trap speed of 93 MPH. Bolting on a few aftermarket parts and a set of drag slicks could easily drop that time into the 12-second range, at a speed of 115 MPH.
While many low-mileage L79 Novas have led hard lives, Burleson's car isn't one of them. Although he admits to the occasional (and ill-advised) street throw-down, his Nova has never been to the drag strip, and in nearly five decades, it's reportedly never been to a car show or cruise-in, either. Showing almost superhuman restraint, Burleson and his family have enjoyed the car sparingly, and in keeping with family tradition, his own three children have driven the car to their high school proms. It's said to have been garaged since 1972, which explains why much of its paint is described as original.
Many L79 Novas ordered for drag strip duty were base models, devoid of luxury amenities like a heater or a radio in order to save weight. Burleson's Nova, on the other hand, is fairly well-equipped with the Super Sport trim package, a center console, an AM radio, Custom Deluxe color-matched seat belts, the Positraction differential (with 3.73 gearing) and dual outside mirrors. Though some of the components have been changed over the years (like the Nova's original Holley four-barrel carburetor and the original alternator), the parts are included in the sale, as is a stack of documentation and in-period photographs showing the history of the car with the Burleson family.
It's believed that between 200 and 300 1966 Chevy II Nova models were built with the optional L79 V-8, and few can claim the pampered, single-owner existence of this example. That will surely have an effect on the selling price, which Mecum predicts will be in the $200,000 to $225,000 range, in line with an award-winning, restored 1966 Chevy II Nova SS L79 that sold for $207,500 at last year's Kissimmee, Florida sale.
Roger Burleson's 1966 Chevy II Nova SS L79 will cross the block on Saturday, May 17. For additional details, visit Mecum.com.
UPDATE (20.May): The 1966 Chevy Nova II SS L79 bid to $175,000, but failed to meet its reserve price.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The Occultist is a minor criminal that uses magic to rob a bank and comes into conflict with the Black Cat. Spider Man heads to the bank after he realized his check book has bounced and finds Felicia fighting a gnome creature made out of bank equipment. The gnome creature falls apart when the Occultist uses a spell to melt the vault door. The wanna-be master of the mystic arts starts a spell on the money when Spider Man grabs him and is zapped with magical energy. Spider Man appears fine and punches out the Occultist. The cops arrive and place the Occultist in their custody. Spidey tells Felicia to be good as he leaves the bank and when she turns around to look at the cash, it simply vanishes. Spider Man returns home and discovered millions of dollars inside his bedroom. Peter Parker freaks out and puts all the money in a big duffle bag. Spider Man puts the bag in front of the vault door and takes off. As he swings away, the duffle bag of cash hits him on the back and magically binds itself to him. Spider Man has Felicia help him free the Occultist from jail so he can undo the spell. The Occultist calls Spider Man a fool and creates a gnome creature made out of the money. The Occultist thought he killed Spider Man when his money creatures smashes the web-head with one punch. The Occultist failed to realize that the creature was made out of money and money is made out of paper. Spider Man leaps through the paper monster and kicks the Occultist in the face. Spider Man and Felicia are safe and the bad guy goes to jail. The spell on Spidey was undone when the Occultist created the monster since he could only cast one spell at a time. Powers & Abilities: The Occultist is a beginner when it comes to magic. He can cast minor spells and create gnome creatures made out of various materials around him.

The Blues dominated English football for a spell under Jose Mourinho during the Portuguese tactician's first stint in charge at Stamford Bridge.
There have been indications since his return to west London that the Chelsea of old can be rekindled, with Mourinho renowned for his ability to get the best out of those at his disposal.
Cech believes a 4-0 victory over Steaua Bucharest in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday shows the Blues are firmly 'back in business', with things only going to get better once an enviable array of attacking talent starts firing on all cylinders.
The Czech goalkeeper said in the Daily Express: "The main difference against Steaua was that we converted our chances. Then you can control the game and play with freedom.
"Every counter-attack we could feel we had a chance to score. It was a mature performance.
"You can go out and have a bad game, as we did in the first one at home (to Basel). But the main thing is the reaction.
"We knew that home result was a blow, but we are back in business now.
"Can I see signs of the old Chelsea returning? I wouldn't want to compare because it's two different teams. But this was a very good performance, ruthless in front of goal."
Chelsea's focus now turns back to domestic competition, with a trip to Norwich City on Sunday offering them a chance to build on a solid yet unspectacular opening to the Premier League season which has brought three wins in six.
Cech added: "There is still a long way to go and we are not far behind.
"We had a much more difficult start to the season than other teams who are on front. They had to play games you would expect them to win.
"We are progressing and are going in the right direction."

Top members of the Senate Commerce and Judiciary committees on Wednesday called on congressional appropriators to preserve funding for Federal Communications Commission efforts to prevent anticompetitive behavior online.
Included in a House funding bill for 2012 is language that bars the FCC from using any funds to enforce so-called "net neutrality" rules, which prohibit Internet service providers from blocking certain websites. Republicans have criticized the rules as a government takeover of the Internet and have introduced and passed measures to overturn them.
In a letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, 10 senators, including Commerce Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., Commerce Communications, Technology, and the Internet Subcommittee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., and Judiciary Privacy, Technology and the Law Subcommittee Chairman Al Franken, D-Minn., said the FCC's rules are appropriate and should be allowed to go into effect.
"Some members of Congress have decided that they know better what is good for the Internet than the people who use, fund, and work on it," the letter states. "We side with the agency of expertise and supporters of the rule and urge you to reject any proposals that will prevent the FCC from implementing or enforcing its net neutrality rules."
September is the earliest likely date the net neutrality regulations would take effect.

3:6-11 A wilderness is an emblem of the world; the believer comes out of it when he is delivered from the love of its sinful pleasures and pursuits, and refuses to comply with its customs and fashions, to seek happiness in communion with the Saviour. A poor soul shall come up, at last, under the conduct of the Comforter; like a cloud of incense ascending from the altar, or the smoke of the burnt-offerings. This signifies pious and devout affections, and the mounting of the soul heaven-ward. The believer is filled with the graces of God's Spirit; his devotions now are very lively. These graces and comforts are from the heavenly Canaan. He, who is the Peace of his people, the King of the heavenly Zion, has provided for the safe conveyance of his redeemed through the wilderness of this world. The bed, or palanquin, was contrived for rest and easy conveyance, but its beauty and magnificence showed the quality of its owner. The church is well guarded; more are with her than are against her: believers, when they repose in Christ, and with him, though they have their fears in the night, are yet safe. The chariot here denotes the covenant of redemption, the way of our salvation. This is that work of Christ, which makes him loved and admired in the eyes of believers. It is framed and contrived, both for the glory of Christ, and for the comfort of believers; it is well ordered in all things and sure. The blood of the covenant, that rich purple, is the cover of this chariot, by which believers are sheltered from the wind and storms of Divine wrath, and the troubles of this world; but the midst of it is that love of Christ which passes knowledge, this is for believers to repose upon. Christ, in his gospel, manifests himself. Take special notice of his crown. Applying this to Christ, it speaks the honour put upon him, and his power and dominion.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 6-ch. 5:1. - Part III. NUPTIAL REJOICINGS. Verse 6. - Who is this that cometh up out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the powders of the merchant? This may be taken as spoken by a single voice, one of the ladies or inhabitants of Jerusalem, or it may be regarded as the exclamation of the whole population going out to see the splendid sight - a gorgeous procession coming towards the city. "Who is this coming?" (עֹלָה, feminine); that is, "Who is this lady coming?" There could be no difficulty in discerning that it was a bridal procession which is seen. Curiosity always asks, "What bride is this?" "Who is she?" not, "Who is he?" A maiden from Galilee is being conducted to Jerusalem; the procession naturally passes through the valley of the Jordan (Ghor). There is splendour and majesty in the sight. It must be some one coming to the royal palace. The censers of frankincense are being swung to and fro and filling the air with fragrant smoke. Columns of dust and smoke from the burning incense rise up to heaven, and mark the line of progress before and after. "The spices of Arabia" were famous at all times. Hence the names of the perfumes are Arabic, as murr, levona, and the travelling spice merchant, or trader, was Arabic (cf. the Arabic elixir). We can scarcely miss the typical colouring in such a representation - the wilderness, typical of bondage and humiliation, sin and misery, out of which the bride is brought; the onward progress towards a glorious destination (see Isaiah 40:3; Hosea 1:16; Psalm 68:8). The Church must pass through the wilderness to her royal home, and the soul must be led out of the wilderness of sin and unbelief into everlasting union with her Lord.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness,.... This is said by the daughters of Jerusalem, adjured in Sol 3:5; who, upon the happy meeting of Christ and his church, saw a greater glory and beauty in her than they had seen before; and therefore put this question, not as ignorant of her, but as admiring at her. By the wilderness she is said to "come out" of is meant either a state of nature, as Theodoret; in which all the elect of God are before conversion, and out of which they are brought by efficacious grace; called a wilderness, because of the barrenness and unfruitfulness of persons in such a state; and because of the perplexed ways and tracks in it, which bewilder a man that he knows not which to take; and because of the want of spiritual provisions in it; and because of the danger men are exposed unto through holes and pits, and beasts of prey: in such a state God finds his people, convinces them of it, and brings them out of it; which is an instance of surprising and distinguishing grace: or else the world itself may be meant, the wilderness of the people, Ezekiel 20:35; so called because of the roughness of the way, the many tribulations the saints pass through in it; and because of the traps and snares that are in it, through evil men, the lusts of the flesh, and the temptations of Satan; because of the many evil beasts in it, ungodly men, false teachers, and Satan the roaring lion; and because of the plentiful table God furnishes here for his people, feeding them in the wilderness with Gospel doctrines and spiritual ordinances, Revelation 12:14; and because of the many windings and turnings of Providence in it, through all which they are led in a right way to the city of their habitation: now though they are in the world, they are not of it; they are called out of it, and quit as much as may be the company and conversation of the men of it; and through the grace of God are more and more weaned from it, and long after another and better world; all which may be intended by their coming out of this: or else this may design a state of sorrow and distress when under desertion, and without the presence of Christ; which had lately been the case of the church, who had been in a bewildered condition, and not knowing where her beloved was, ran about here and there in quest of him, like one in a wood, seeking him and calling after him; but now having sight of him, and some communion with him, is represented as coming out of that state. She is further described as being
like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense; her heart being inflamed with love to Christ, her affections moved upwards, heavenwards, and were set on things above; and which were sincere and upright, rose up in the form of palm trees, as the word (n) signifies, a very upright tree; and these moved steadily towards Christ, and could not be diverted from him by the winds of temptation, affliction, and persecution; and though there might be some degree of dulness and imperfection in them, hence called "pillars of smoke"; yet being perfumed with the sweet smelling myrrh of Christ's sacrifice, and the incense of his mediation, became acceptable to God. It is added,
with all powders of the merchant: odorous ones, such are the graces of the Spirit, which Christ the merchantman is full of; and makes his people, their affections and prayers, of a sweet smelling savour with. Ben Melech interprets it of garments perfumed with spices; see Psalm 45:8; Some render the words, "above" or "more excellent than all powders of the merchant" (o), druggist or apothecary (p); no such drug nor spice to be found in their shops, that smell so sweet as Christ, his grace and righteousness.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
6. New scene (So 3:6-11). The friends of the Bridegroom see a cortege approach. His palanquin and guard.
cometh out—rather, "up from"; the wilderness was lower than Jerusalem [Maurer].
pillars of smoke—from the perfumes burned around Him and His bride. Image from Israel and the tabernacle (answering to "bed," So 3:7) marching through the desert with the pillar of smoke by day and fire by night (Ex 14:20), and the pillars of smoke ascending from the altars of incense and of atonement; so Jesus Christ's righteousness, atonement, and ever-living intercession. Balaam, the last representative of patriarchism, was required to curse the Jewish Church, just as it afterwards would not succumb to Christianity without a struggle (Nu 22:41), but he had to bless in language like that here (Nu 24:5, 6). Angels too joyfully ask the same question, when Jesus Christ with the tabernacle of His body (answering to "His bed," So 3:7; Joh 1:14, "dwelt," Greek "tabernacled," Joh 2:21) ascends into heaven (Ps 24:8-10); also when they see His glorious bride with Him (Ps 68:18; Re 7:13-17). Encouragement to her; amid the darkest trials (So 3:1), she is still on the road to glory (So 3:11) in a palanquin "paved with love" (So 3:10); she is now in soul spiritually "coming," exhaling the sweet graces, faith, love, joy, peace, prayer, and praise; (the fire is lighted within, the "smoke" is seen without, Ac 4:13); it is in the desert of trial (So 3:1-3) she gets them; she is the "merchant" buying from Jesus Christ without money or price (Isa 55:1; Re 3:18); just as myrrh and frankincense are got, not in Egypt, but in the Arabian sands and the mountains of Palestine. Hereafter she shall "come" (So 3:6, 11) in a glorified body, too (Php 3:21). Historically, Jesus Christ returning from the wilderness, full of the Holy Ghost (Lu 4:1, 14). The same, "Who is this," &c. (Isa 63:1, 5).

1484 U.S. 9, Lake George, NY 12845
I've eaten at the Log Jam multiple times with no issues, having tried duck, steak and fish of the day. The menu has many items marked as GF and the staff seems to be knowledgeable. Their salad bar has croutons all the way at the end which helps minimize cross contamination.
2 West Main Street, Littleton, NH 03561
No GF menu, but they're very accommodating. I had a broiled halibut with baked potato. Nice atmosphere, but not overly fancy.
25 Main St, Littleton, NH 03561
Had a great omelette with potatoes and gluten free toast. The service was a little slow, so I'd recommend going if you're not in a huge rush.
10 Pollard Road, Lincoln, NH 03251
The Common Man has a gluten free menu with a lot of selections. I had a farm truck salad and roast chicken and it was all delicious. Please note that the GF menu on their website is a little out of date, but there are lots of choices. The non-GF members of the group were also very happy.
672 Rte 117, Sugar Hill, NH 03586
The best GF pancakes and they have a separate section of the grill for them. Polly's is a must-visit place if you're going to be near Franconia Notch State Park.
925 State Rt 9, Queensbury, NY 12804
I've eaten here a few times with no problems -- getting the chicken on the barbie and the steak with baked potato. You just need to be careful and make sure to ask for your salad with no croutons and mixed separately to avoid cross contamination.
880 State Route 9, Queensbury, NY 12804
I've been there a few times, but can't comment on the GF pizza as I've only gotten the herb rubbed chicken with roasted vegetables and brown rice. It's not gourmet, but tastes good and I had no reaction. It's also reasonably priced and the service has been good. My kids love their non-GF make your own pizzas.
118 Quaker Rd, Queensbury, NY 12804
This sports bar was family friendly and reasonably priced. The GF chicken tenders were crispy and delicious -- and my gluten eating family also liked them a lot. For my main course I had a steak with fries. Recommended if you're in the Queensbury/Lake George area and aren't looking for anything too fancy.

This pair of FitOvers was a replacement for the exact same glasses. The first pair developed a discoloration around the outside edges of both lens after a couple of years. They were not abused and kept in the case. However, I loved the fit and the fact that my glasses underneath were totally invisible. I am hoping this pair does not do the same thing. I am using the old pair for my trips to the beach.

They aren't too heavy, and they don't slide down. They feel great when driving or just walking around. They don't look "clunky" like typical fitovers. They are really pretty, too.

About Me Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Practical, Stylish
I've worn a larger style of Fitovers (Rhombus) for over a year. When my husband asked if a smaller style (hint, hint) were available, I ordered Jett Element for him and tried the even smaller Aurora to fit over my frameless Silhouettes. Aurora fit is snug over the flexible temples and takes a bit more initial adjustment to keep my glasses (and vision) straight. Once I get it right, the style and shape suits me better than the former style. Leopard is a tortoiseshell frame and I prefer grey lenses. I used the manufacturer website for information to measure my frames and compare to the available styles on Eyesave.

These glasses are perfect. The best part about them is that I did not have to spend $300 for a pair of prescription sunglasses. They serve the same purpose. They are lightweight, stylish, and affordable. Plus, I can see!!!

About Me Classic, Comfort-Oriented, Stylish
I use my Fitovers every day. I love them!! They have added some crystals on the earpieces for style, which they haven't had before. (I would buy them either way.) They fit so well over my glasses and block the sun extremely well. I walk they beach with them so you know I am getting a lot of sun in my vision. I use to get inexpensive glasses and they scratched almost immediately. I can't recommend Fitovers highly enough if you wear glasses.

I interrupt our regularly-scheduled programming to bring you this story.
Tonight, I ran to the corner store to get something small.
I noticed a large RV in the parking lot. I've had a special place in my heart for RV drivers ever since my friend Dave bought one. He's had several dismaying adventures with his RV, and through his experience I've learned how difficult it is to own and operate one of those huge vehicles.
When I brought my purchase to the counter, the RV driver was standing in front of me. He asked the cashier how to get to a road that is NOT near our neighborhood. I could tell that she was flummoxed. It wasn't the easiest set of directions to explain, and in addition, she had several customers waiting in line.
I told her I would take care of it and stepped to the side to talk to him.
He was an older man, at least sixty-five, maybe pushing seventy. His face was rough and lumpy, as if life had beaten him up a few times over the years. Still, I could tell he wasn't a hard man--just weary. His hair looked strange, almost as if he were wearing a light blond, curly wig.
He told me he had come in from the west and was headed north. I did some fast thinking: what road would best accommodate his unwieldy vehicle while getting him to the highway he needed, which lay at least fifteen miles away from where we stood in the corner store?
There was no room for error in my directions. RVs are murder to turn around. I had to get him on exactly the right roads, headed north, with no mistakes.
I realized that I needed to write his directions down. Pulling out a scrap of cardstock from my purse, I noted the street names and drew a diagram of the underpass he would have to navigate. I explained the route verbally, showing him my written directions. Finally, I handed him the card.
"Thank you very much," he said, still weary, but plainly relieved.
He turned the card over and looked at the back.
"Oh," I said. "That's just my daughter's memory verse card from Sunday school."
He smiled. "Thanks again."
"No problem!"
He walked out, and a minute later, I did too.
I saw him standing on the stairs of his RV doorway as I exited the store. I thought I had better walk over and make sure, one last time, that he understood which way to turn at the traffic light we could see from this parking lot.
"Do you see which way to turn at this light?" I asked, walking towards him and raising my voice over the ambient gas station noise.
He turned around. Behind him I saw an older lady, who had definitely pushed past seventy. Her legs didn't look very sturdy and her feet were bandaged; I wasn't sure she could get out of the RV.
He smiled again, a little wistfully this time. "Oh yes. We were just talking about your daughter's memory verse card."
I saw the little card then. He was holding it up between them as their heads leaned close together.
I waved and wished them the best, then got back in my van.
I saw in my mind's eye my daughter's memory verse this week, scrawled in colorful childlike letters on the back of the card:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge him,
And he will make your paths straight.
I don't know what this message meant to them, but based on their tired faces and the marks of their physical suffering, my guess is that it was more than a message about highway directions.
God is infinitely loving, and sends words of comfort and courage to us in ways we could never predict.
Have you ever found yourself an "accidental" messenger? Or received a message that appeared to be coincidental, but was not?

Our view: The passing of an N.C. great
To some, Bill Friday was a former president of the University of North Carolina system.
However, to most, Friday was more than that.
He was the University of North Carolina system.
The president emeritus of the UNC system passed away on Friday. He served as the president of the 16-campus university system from 1956 to 1986. After his retirement, he remained active, including helping to found the Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.
Over the course of his tenure with the UNC system, Friday might be best remembered as a champion of the educational reputation and academic offerings of the entire system. He brought the system national recognition for its academic excellence and also became a national figure in higher education.
According to The Herald-Sun, William Clyde Friday was born in Raphine, Va., in 1920. He graduated with a degree in textile manufacturing and was senior class president at what would become North Carolina State University. After serving in the Navy, he enrolled in the UNC School of Law. While serving in administrative roles at UNC, he was instrumental in the establishment of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
He became president of UNC at 36.
Over the course of his presidency, Friday presided over years of growth while doing so with a forward-looking perspective and a smart approach.
Some of our members of The Daily Courier Editorial Board offered some comments on his passing and his storied career:
"I had the opportunity once quite some time ago to spend a little time chatting with Bill Friday when he was touring the state with a program concerning preparing people for new century jobs," said Cliff Strassenburg. "He was a fascinating man. His passing is a real loss for North Carolina."
Bill Friday had a huge impact upon this state, both as head of the University of North Carolina, and as elder statesman," said Tom Padgett. "His political influence went far beyond Chapel Hill, and he was admired by Democrats, Republicans, and everyone in-between.
"On the UNCTV show he hosted in his latter years, he interviewed outstanding North Carolinians from a wide variety of backgrounds. He will be missed across North Carolina and nationally."
The present-day UNC system would not be what it is currently had it not been for the exceptional leadership and perseverance of a man like Bill Friday.
Looking across the university system, in Raleigh, Asheville, Wilmington, Greenville and Greensboro shows the evidence of that leadership and the tenacity to bring the system into the forefront of national academics.
We wish to offer our deepest sympathies to Friday's family and colleagues and extend the remarks from our Editorial Board in stating that our university system will be long-remembered for the accomplishments made under Friday's leadership.
