text: http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I am unable to use the wireless on my Toshiba T135 laptop. I have made much progress with the drivers, though they're not at 100%. Internet stops working at random though the wireless never reports signal lost, and I have been having lots of problems with encryption, especially WPA networks. It's my hope that someone else in the forums can benefit from my experience, and possibly find something I missed. lspci lists my device as a Realtek 8172se device. Realtek does not offer a driver for that card, but I have found that the driver for the rtl8192se is the driver that they recommend. The current kernel does not have a module yet for this hardware, so there are two options from here, both I've tried with varying success. Ndiswrapper The Realtek website offers a full set of the windows drivers. These can be installed as normal with ndiswrapper. -The WinXP driver does not work with ndiswrapper. For me or several other people. The computer cannot find wlan0, even though ndiswrapper lists the device as present. -The Win2k driver works, and NetworkManager can find networks, but it would not work with my WEP encrypted network. I have yet to test it on an unencrypted network. Linux Driver Realtek also offers a linux package to install, but Fedora has several issues with it. Using the general make command works fine, and the process reports success (as far as I could tell anyway,) but running make install yields the error "No rule to make target 'Missing Syscalls'" and the process exits without installing it. There are still a few ways to make it work, but nothing permanent. -Running the wlan0up supplied with the source code (see the supplied readme with the linux driver for details) will activate the wireless, but this has to be done every time Fedora restarts. The wireless connection works, as well as the encryption for WEP and WPA networks, but with the random breaks in internet service I've experienced. -I have also attempted a manual install of the drivers, copying the rtl8192se_pci.ko generated by make to /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ and copying the firmware from the source archive to /lib/firmware/<kernel version>. This yields about the same result as the supplied wlan0up, but doesn't have to be done every reboot. In order to use the driver once the internet stops functioning, it seems I have to restart the computer, or otherwise stop and restart the wireless device. The supplied wlan0down usually works, but not always. Other than that, I really haven't had much luck. If anyone else has a better solution to this, I would be glad to hear it. Good Luck. BTW: this thread covers most of the things I've tried in more detail. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/401126 (HowTos)

My Gosh! I seem to have been inundated with Good Wishes, & Good Fortune, from wonderful Blogging friends!
It has all been while I seem to have been rushed off my feet, as far as finding enough hours in the day, to attend to all the things I want to do!
Bren, from Pieces From Me, gave me this award. I was amazed to receive this, as I just putter along. Bren & I have many differences in our ideas, but we each respect the other, & though we stand for differing beliefs our aim is the same in the end, & as she says, we are very very alike in a lot of ways.
Thankyou Bren. I will have to think about awardees.
Tuesday's visit to the Coalface of Christmas, was rewarded in a way I find very hard to describe.
When we arrived home, I noticed a square cardboard box on the doormat. I could see it had a Customs declaration, & was so excited to find it was a package from Wanda, of Exuberant Colour, who had sent me the most wonderful collection of scraps of some of her wondrous stash!!
Wanda has been one of my first calls each day, ever since I first discovered her wonderful Blog, to check up on what lovely colourful creations she has posted. I love her quilts & her wonderful fabric stash, & her sense of colour, so vibrant, & varied.
Blog Friends have to be the most wonderful, generous people on the planet.
Feast your eyes on some of the fabrics Wanda sent me.

A cacophony is right. They are the sound of summer, Meggie. I still remember driving back into to QLD as a child of about eight, going through rainforest and the sound hitting us. We have them here in Tas. but there's not so many; even one is as summer-ish as a Test on the radio, for me.

Dear God,
I know it's been a while since you heard from me. You probably know the exact date but I can't remember. I just know it's been at least 17 years. Wow. 17 years. That's someone's lifetime. It's hard to fathom I've been doing my own thing for so long. Honestly, it hasn't gone that well.
I know we only recently started talking again and well, once I realized you had been with me all along it was quite humbling. I remember crying out to you (as a last resort) 3 months ago asking you to take me away from my life. Lets be honest. I was considering taking my own life. I was considering homelessness. I was considering changing my identity and driving out West never to be seen or heard from again. I was in complete despair. Why? Because it's been really hard losing so many things in the past three years. I still cry over the loss of my step-father and now I cry for the loss of my biological one. I cry over not being able to find a job and not knowing where the money to make a car payment will come from. I cry over feeling like I haven't accomplished anything I set out to accomplish. I cry over feeling like a failure. I cry over lost and broken friendships and relationships with family and friends. I cry over the loss of feeling like I belong.
Most of the friends I have now know nothing about my roots in faith and Christianity. Once I left the church I ran so far away from You and anything related to religion that I've made quite a name for myself as a "Spiritualist". My favorite thing to say was "The Universe provides". I remember when I was in college at Florida Southern we were all required to take a course in Religion. I decided to take New Testament and I did pretty well in it. I was so angry at "Christians" that I used my last elective course (you know how much I love art) to take a course in the Old Testament…just so I'd be able to argue with someone about the Bible if the conversation ever came up. One of my favorite things to ask Christians was "Do you celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread"? They would never know what I was talking about so I'd just roll my eyes and mumble something about what they pick and choose from the Bible and how it's all BS anyway.
I remember thinking how clever I was being on the "other" side of religion. I knew so many intelligent people with degrees in higher education that believed the same way I did. I felt validated. I was looking for and finding faith, albeit shaky, in people. In stuff. In theories and in books. I isolated myself from You and surrounded myself with non-believers.
I tried to find You in many different places since my 20's. I looked in other churches. I looked for you in other religions. I looked for you in the trees. The ocean. In other people. And even though I did sometimes sense your presence in all of those things…they were never enough and never have been enough. I still felt empty and broken. I took an inventory of my friends and guess what? They all felt the same. I'm not guessing they felt the same, they all told me. Plus, lets be honest, their misery (and mine) was obvious. I remember being in my Master's program and having lunch with a fellow student. While we were eating he said to me (sarcastically) "So, are you just going to carry your cross around for everyone to see?"
I feel like an addict that "hit rock bottom". I had to be devastated and desperate to be able to surrender control. I know some people will think I "drank the kool-aid" and that's okay because I know that, through my pain and loss, I have been able to experience both sides of the story. I've known what it's like to serve You and I've known what it's like to serve myself. I may even loose some friends. But I'm leaving that up to You.
I won't explain the entire story just yet, but eventually I will create a timeline about what it's been like to find my way back to You. It's the most exciting thing that's happened to me in a very long time and when I think about it all I can't help but smile. I am eternally humbled and grateful for meeting KishKush in April, 2013. Thank you for putting her in my path. Thank you for her story and ministry and belief in You that encouraged me and would end up placing me in a path of your people. Because of her the old question that never seems to be answered about "why God lets horrible things happen" is answered. She'd never want to hear it, but if any human being had anything to do with my still being alive, it's her.
I know You have a plan for me that includes great things. I am starting to learn what it's like to believe again. I'm remembering all the things I had forgotten about church and fellowship and what it's like to have friends who are believers. It's so beautiful. More beautiful than anything I could've come up with about the Universe (which You created). More beautiful than anything I've ever experienced, except when I experience your Divine Fingerprints here on Earth.

Top off-road racers will be in northern Nevada for the inaugural Toyota Silver State Showdown Aug. 25-26 at the new Wild West Motorsports Park east of Sparks. (At left, competing cars in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series are seen in this publicity photo.)
Race fans can watch the qualifying rounds Aug. 24 for free, but they must have a ticket. Free tickets are available at Reno and Sparks businesses including Burger me in Reno, the Outlets at Legends, O'Reilly Auto Parts and the National Automobile Museum. Those who pick up free tickets can use them to get a $5 discount on Aug. 25 and 26.
Tickets for Aug. 25 and 26 cost $30 for an adult one-day pass, and $50 for a weekend pass.
The Silver State Showdown — officially the Toyota Silver State Showdown, Presented by Fox Shox — is part of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, a national racing tour drawing such competitors as seven-time Supercross champion Jeremy McGrath, Freestyle MX star Brian Deegan of Metal Mulisha and Baja Off Road legend Rob MacCachren.
The Silver State Showdown will be rounds 11 and 12 of the Lucas Oil series. Television coverage of the event will air on CBS, NBC Sports, SPEED, CBS Sports Spectacular and MAVTV, according event publicists.
Races will take place at the new Wild West Motorsports Park east of Sparks at the Mustang exit (Exit 23) off Interstate 80. The short track includes a 4,500-seat grandstand built by Q&D Construction in Sparks and Lucas Oil.
"The high-banking turns carved into the hillside are outrageous," Alex Striler, director of sales and marketing for Lucas Oil, said. "Combined with huge table-tops, an insane rhythm section and a long "ski jump," this track is unlike anything anyone has ever seen."
The plan is to have the track fully operational on a daily basis next season, with open track days, driving schools, private track days and other events, according to event publicists.
For tickets to the Silver State showdown, visit the ticket section on the Lucas Oil website, http://www.showclix.com/events/255.

Dave--Looking very good so far, you got the frame of the girl right after that it will be easy. Can't wait to see how you do water, you are always great with it. Want to know how you mix your colors for water.
C&C are welcome and appreciated.
Here is another submission for this month. It is 8x10 colord pencil on mat board. I discoverd that this wasn't as easy to draw as I thought it would be. It ismy first try with coloed pencils. please comment.
C and C always welcomed
Geri the colors are great BG is great but you must not be using any type of grid system I can't paint without one criticaly the beak should be to the edges of the eyes with a definate frown same with the corners of the eyes I still really like the coloring I know that you are not happy with a less than honest critique if you weren't in to realism this could stand on its own James
for a first attempt with colored pencils its fantastic
Jim C&C welcomed
James I do appreciate an honest opinion. I didn't realize the beak not being out to the eyes. I had trouble with the eye on the left. I erased it 3 or 4 times and it still isn't at the correct angle. I could not figure how to get the stare right without it being too much black causing that to be an unwanted focal point. The eyes themselves do that. With each mistake I learn so maybe the next one will be better.
Geri- Wow, this is looking good to me. love the colors that goes well with the background. The pencil lines are delicate I couldn't tell it's pencils until I read your info. I really love the eyes too, they look like he(?) is looking right at you. As far as the scale and such, I wouldn't know about it much, never seen an Eagle up close and personal so can not critique on realism. I am just looking at what I like. Good job for first timer in pencil.
Hi Geri ,Nice job especially for the first time around with colored pencil,I like what I see
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
Geri, kudos for trying and showing a new medium. You said it is done on mat board. Is it colored mat board? The background looks super and is a good choice of color for this guy. You did a good job with the feathers and wisely used the background color for the shadows. The eyes look great. Adjusting the width of the beak is all that it needs. Well done first colored pencil piece.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Thank you Sandi and Fred I am glad you both enjoyed it.
Hello everyone, I do so apologize for not being around. I ended up with some real health conflicts that I had to sort out.
I really have enjoyed watching and reading everything to catch up...
I am so waiting to see the finished Aubrey gathering stones....
Sam, Sandi, you are sooo good at critiqueing... Thanks
Geri, I love your eagle in color pencil. Great Job.
It so happens I have done an eagle drawing myself. Just 2-B pencil on a piece of copy paper...
It would be nice if we messed up we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over
C & C Always Welcome
Thank you Sammi. Complements like that from someone who has pretty well mastered the medium (no body every truly masters it as there is always something to learn) Mean a lot to me. It was brown mat board and it wasn't as nice as it looks in the picture. It is just a flat color
You have the width of the beak down pat and have captured There stare too. I could not get the eyes right especially the one on the left. The only thing that bothers me is I think you should have brought your shadow up farther because the top of his head disappears. Good job.
Marsha, this is a very nice graphite drawing. Good play of darks and lights in his body. He has such a sinister look that I hope to never meet him face to face.
Marsha- I am happy to hear that you are o.k. from health issues and coming in with a nice drawing of the Eagle. I think it looks pretty good and you have done it with merely a no. 2 pencil on a copy paper. Wow... how good it would look if you were to do it with carbon pencils or other drawing pencils on a nice drawing paper. The eyes have it, the bird looks so ferocious as if it was mad enough to come beat you up.
I have just finished my work on your grandson fishing with his companion. As I was working on him I was thinking that how much fun he was having and enjoying the outdoor sport with his beloved best friend.
I am calling this piece "Best Friends Gone Fishing".
Pen and Ink and a little of watercolor on 140 lbs. cold press watercolor paper.
Image size is 8"X10"
Ok, this is my first time here and my wife would toss me if she found out I was here instead of doing my work, but I was captivated momentarily and did this version of the eagle... I'm a chicken guy and find feathered animals easy to render... like sketching people with lots of hair and men with beards. Nice forum!
Sandi, it's interesting that you used color for the figure and the remainder of the work is sketched. That technique really makes the figures stand out. Since the dog is the only thing that is fully painted, he really stands out as the focal point. You captured the mood of the boy and his dog enjoying a day together fishing.

Engage with the architecture and design community through these special events taking place all around San Francisco.
How to Succeed in Architecture: Third Places | The Architecture of Sharing
This year's San Francisco's month-long festival, Architecture and the City, will focus on the theme of Home. For all of us, though, home is not just where we sleep, but it encompasses those cafes, parks and community spaces where we meet our friends and families. Ray Oldenburg called these Third Places and argued that they are important for democracy and vital to every city. We invited Andrew Dunbar, David Darling, David C. Brown and E.B. Min to join us for this special episode of How to Succeed in Architecture, organized in collaboration with AIA San Francisco. Join us as we discuss what constitutes a Third Place, what gives it a "sense of place", and how architects can directly impact civic engagement and human interactions with their designs. This special episode of How to Succeed in Architecture is produced in collaboration with Architecture and the City Festival.
Read more about the series How to Succeed in Architecture or watch the series.
Presented by Architecture and the City festival and Novedge.

Adult harbour seal at a haul out site.
Using special tagging devices it is possible to record the movements of animals.
Adults are capable of dispersing widely throughout the North Sea but more usually stay 5-20km around their haul-out sites, diving and locally foraging for food.
British and Danish populations often intermingle and in so doing sometimes spread viral distemper.

Kendallville — The Columbia City Boys' Basketball team traveled to Kendallville to open the Northeast Hoosier Conference season by taking on the East Noble Knights.
The Eagles put on a first half shooting clinic hitting 75 percent of their field goal attempts including eight shots from behind the three-point arc building a 17 point lead on their way to a 61-50 win.
The game started out as a battle behind the arc with Columbia City's Mason Coverstone matched up against East Noble's Brandon Nichols and Michael Sharp.
Coverstone was more than up to the task as the Eagle junior hit his first five shots, including four threes before finally missing. Coverstone posted 14 first quarter points.

Lackluster non-conference dates loom
Games involving teams from college football's top conferences will soon bolster home schedules for the Big Four. An ACC agreement with Notre Dame will kick in, too.
But for this fall, there's no such glamour ticket game. Only North Carolina's visit to East Carolina stands out among the non-conference games, which it would in any year.
No disrespect to Gale Sayers and John Riggins, or Eric Tipton and Ace Parker, but Kansas and Duke in September would be generating a lot more chatter if it were men's basketball up in Cameron Indoor. Even in September.
But the Jayhawks are coming to Wallace Wade Stadium. And they will be the only "power five" opponent — from the Southeastern, Big 10, Big 12 or Pac-12 — visiting the Big Four other than ACC brethren.
The Jayhawks were 3-9 on the gridiron a year ago, dead last of 10 teams in the Big 12. "Power," of course, is in the eye of the beholder.
The Tar Heels' trek to Greenville is the only other non-conference game with a "power five" member as a "guest." This year, it is far and away the best non-conference college football game within the state borders — yet one hard-pressed to make so much as a ripple in the national college football landscape outside the state border.
Otherwise, there is San Diego State at North Carolina and Tulane at Duke.
It's a season where "thank goodness for the ACC home games" has great value. National champion Florida State comes to Raleigh.
There are 12 home non-conference games among Duke, North Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest and ECU. Six will come from the Football Bowl Subdivision, including two that finished in the top half of their league's divisions, two in the lower half of their divisions and two that are independents.
One of the independents, Old Dominion, won eight times but also gave up 80 points in its last outing to a team no better than fifth of seven in the ACC's Coastal Division.
The Football Championship Subdivision teams scheduled are not coming off good results either. Of the six from FCS, only Liberty finished top three in its league and four finished within either a game of last place or next to last place in their leagues. The two from the Big South in addition to the Flames were in the league's bottom three.
Will it get better? Schedules are not complete, and multiple opportunities to add opponents are available in the next three to five years. But among the published reports so far:
• Duke hosts Northwestern in 2015, Army in 2016, Northwestern and Baylor in 2017 and Army in 2018.
• North Carolina has South Carolina in Charlotte in 2015, Ohio State in 2017 and East Carolina in 2018.
• N.C. State has Troy in 2015, Notre Dame in 2016 and East Carolina in 2019.
• Wake Forest hosts Indiana in 2015, Tulane in 2016 and 2020, and Rice in either 2017 or 2018.
• East Carolina has Virginia Tech in 2015, N.C. State in 2016, Virginia Tech and Brigham Young in 2017, North Carolina in 2018, Virginia Tech in 2019, Marshall and West Virginia in 2020 and N.C. State in 2022.
The following are home non-conference football opponents for the Big Four and East Carolina in 2014:
• DUKE: Elon, Kansas, Tulane.
• UNC: Liberty, San Diego State.
• N.C. STATE: Georgia Southern; Old Dominion; Presbyterian.
• WAKE FOREST: Gardner-Webb, Army.
• ECU: N.C. Central, North Carolina.
