i am new to this forum and i have some problems with bridges. I have 3 laptop where they use RH 7.3 and 2 of them are used as a GW where the wlan0 and the eth0 are bridged-br0. The fact is that i want to put a firewall at the wireless side wlan0. To do this i downloaded the ebtables-br-nf Kernel patch. Everything was ok with the firewall except the fact that the mobility protocol i am working on is not working properly because of the patch. Now i am thinking to leave the bridge and put by own routing tables.
Can this be done?In other works can i replace a bridge with my own routing tables and how?
Thanks for your time :cry:

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station will conduct its biennial emergency plan graded exercise Tuesday, March 27.
DELTA – Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station will conduct its biennial emergency plan graded exercise Tuesday, March 27. The exercise is designed to gauge the ability of plant personnel and offsite emergency organizations to respond quickly and effectively in the event of an actual emergency. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will evaluate Peach Bottom's performance during the exercise
Pennsylvania municipalities and counties within the 10-mile radius of the station will also participate by staffing their Emergency Operations Centers. Other participants include the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection. The Federal Emergency Management Agency evaluates the performance of state, county and municipal emergency organizations during the biennial exercise. "At Exelon, we take our emergency preparedness responsibilities very seriously," said Peach Bottom Site Vice President Tom Dougherty. "Throughout the year, we work with a dedicated team of emergency management professionals in Pennsylvania and Maryland with one goal in mind, keeping families safe in the unlikely event of an emergency."
This graded exercise is the largest of many emergency preparedness drills and training activities conducted at Peach Bottom and all Exelon Nuclear sites. The exercise will begin Tuesday afternoon and conclude that evening. Residents near Peach Bottom may see exercise activities and hear plant announcements but no sirens will be activated during the drill. All announcements will be proceeded by and concluded with: "This is a drill." Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station is located on the west bank of the Conowingo Pond (Susquehanna River) in York County, Pa. The station is home to two boiling water reactors capable of generating 2,280 megawatts combined. Both reactors began commercial operation in 1974.

When I last saw WindowsXP' feature list I saw something called Cleartype which is a technology to make fonts ultra pretty on LCD displays and I thought... I've heard about that before. What Microsoft call a breakthrought invention is infact an old Apple invention called Sub-pixel sampling and guess what.. X supports it. All you have to do to get this amazing thing is:
1) edit /etc/X11/XftConfig and append this:
2) turn off any font antialiasing you might have enabled in fx. KDE.Code:match edit rgba=rgb
3) restart X
4) it's recommended that you try the following, replace rgb with rgb,bgr, vbgr or vbgr to test which looks best on your LCD scree.

Please tell my what you think.
BTW- I would love to have this posted on the main FSM site. I sent Bobby an e-mail, but he never responded. Is there a secret code phrase that I need to use so that I don't go into his spam folder?

I've heard that there are some safety and building code issues involved with using extension cords or power strips (surge protectors) for anything other than temporary use. What are the issues, and how can extension cords be used safely?
This is one of the biggest problem with power strips (surge protectors)...
The average person does not think about how much power each device is drawing, or how much the system can handle, they just see an open outlet and plug stuff in. If they can't find an open outlet... Oh yeah! they make adapters for that! I mean they sell the adapters, so they must be safe... Right?
If your power strips look like this (or worse), you better at least be checking the batteries in that smoke alarm (which is hopefully not plugged into this power strip too).
If you are using the power strip (or extension cord) properly (one plug per outlet, no adapters, no daisy chaining) and you inspect the power strip for damage (wear & tear) regularly, you should not have much to fear.
Another thing to look at when using a power strip or extension cord, is the size of the wire and the voltage and amperage ratings. If you are using things like electric heaters, power tools, vacuums, etc., make sure the wire (extension cord/power strip) is the proper size to handle the above average load of these types of devices. Overloaded wire can heat up quickly and cause a fire.
Basically if you use common sense, inspect the cables for obvious damage and/or wear & tear regularly, and use the cables for their intended purpose, you should have no problems using extension cords and/or power strips.
Here is some interesting stuff from The Office of Compliance about Power Strips and Dangerous Daisy Chains.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) has a whole article devoted to flexible cords and cables, one of the more applicable sections in this case would be 400.8.
400.8(1) As a substitute for the fixed wiring of a structure.
400.8(2) Where run through holes in walls, structural ceilings, suspended ceilings, dropped ceilings, or floors.
400.8(3) Where run through doorways, windows, or similar openings.
400.8(4) Where attached to building surfaces.
400.8(5) Where concealed by walls, floors, or ceilings or located above suspended or dropped ceilings.
400.8(6) Where installed in raceways, except as otherwise permitted in this Code
400.8(7) Where subject to physical damage
If you have to join two extension cords together (for a longer reach), make sure the cables are both the appropriate gauge to handle the extra length. To prevent the ends from coming partially or fully disconnected (which can be annoying, and a possible shock/fire hazard), tie a simple knot to hold the cables together.
Keep in mind that connecting too many cords together can be a fire hazard, and make sure you are using appropriately sized cables.
Here is a good table from Home Depot for determining the minimum wire gauge recommendations for different devices and cord lengths. Buying Guides: Extension Cords.
As an example if you want to use your circular saw at 100 ft., you'll need at least 12 AWG cable. If you need to reach an extra 50 ft. (150 ft. total) and happen to have an extra 50 ft. extension cord, both cords should be at least 10 AWG.
Don't run an extension cord under a rug. When people walk on the rug it will rub on the cord, and over time the friction can wear through the cord's insulation, leading to arcing which can cause a fire. This is one reason AFCI breakers are recommended and/or required, as they can shut off a circuit at the first sign of arcing.
An extension cord is generally not fire-rated; the insulating covering over it will either sustain a fire (unlikely in most cases as they must still meet basic electrical fire codes), or release toxic chemicals when burned (more likely). Extension cords, though durable, are also not built for in-wall or under-floor installation; the insulation will after several years harden, crack and split, exposing the wire and causing a fire hazard.
However, all this means is that such wires are not designed for permanent installation into a home. As long as you use it in a manner such that the cord can be unplugged, removed and thrown away when the cord deteriorates, and you expect that to happen after some years, especially outdoors, you're fine.
Make sure any unused plugs are covered with a proper CSA approved plug or purchase surge protectors with covers to prevent dust from gathering inside the surge protector which can over time start a fire. Replace on a regular basis especially if you have a serious power surge in your neighbourhood. A good rule of thumb is when the warranty expires. A regular home hardware surge protector does not meet standards for large office or medical equipment. Some surge protectors do come with indicators that show you are overloading the amps on the surge protector, but this is only useful if you keep and eye on the indicator. Most surge protectors are rated for only 15 AMPS but check your unit. Some surge suppressors are rated for only 12 AMPS or less. You can look at your appliance to determine how many amps it uses. For those that do not list amps use a calculator from Google to convert watts/volts=amps. take the sum of amps from everything plugged into the unit to determine if it might be overloaded. How you can overload a surge protector is beyond me but I found some surge protectors running at almost double the recommended capacity for amps and not tripping. IE two computer systems running off of one line conditioner which had a rating of 12 amps but the total was 15.4 amps when computers were in use and another was office equipment running on a surge protector with a rating of 15 amps but the office equipment totaled 28 amps.

Being referred to DR Lambert saved my life. After a year of crippling pain, misdiagnosis, and being treated alternately like I was crazy or a manipulating pain-med addict, I finally got a proper diagnosis, and treatment. My life is 100 percent improved. DR. Lambert is patient, attentive, and obviously a genuine expert; in a world full of quacks and hacks. I can't recommend this DR. enough.

Easily the best single doctor I've ever dealt with. After a year and a half of being unable to walk. She fixed my problem in one visit. She was insanely thorough, she asked 1000 and one questions. I had been shuffled around and mistreated, all while paying astronomical sums. I had spent tens of thousands of dollars on MRI's, Epidural injections, needed narcotics to get through the day, was told I had Lyme disease, candidasis, you name it. If you are not certain you ever had an injury, If you don't clearly have bulged discs, etc. Go to doctor lambert first! You will save thousands.

I agree with one of the other reviewers. She is tied for first as the best doctor I've ever had (the other was Dr. Sunseri in San Jose; she has, sadly, retired). Dr. Lambert is concerned, knowledgeable, helpful, but also willing to talk and to listen to patient input. She is willing to try new medications. She is willing to be educated about things she's not familiar with. If you are having an acute problem, her staff gets you in asap, and they are wonderful at calling in refills. I am so lucky that Dr. Sunseri referred me to Dr. Lambert in the first place. Even if I move I will make a huge effort to get back to Dr. Lambert each year for my yearly exam. She's that wonderful.

I went to Dr. Lambert after having gone to top ten Medical Center's Rheumatology Clinic, where they told me to "come back in 3 months if it gets worse." They were stumped by what was going on, and did not think it was a rheumatological problem. Dr. Lambert found a lab finding that they never pointed out to me, which clearly indicated that there was an inflammatory process going on. Although she, too, was stumped, she was willing to keep trying different drugs and treatments until we found something to alleviate the symptoms. She is extremely thorough, especially the first time you meet her and she takes your history, and has an excellent bedside manner. She has injected my knee a few times, and each time made it very comfortable. She is also very responsive to inquiries and requests for refills. Overall, probably the best doctor I've had.

LISBON - Summer doesnt really start for Gina C. Weldon until she heads outside to pick fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
The true arrival of summer is when youre out picking berries, the Gouverneur resident said Thursday. For me, its therapeutic. Its relaxing.
Ms. Weldon was among dozens of people who spent a warm, breezy morning gathering juicy berries at Merkleys U-Pick, Dollar Road.
Most customers drove away with quart-sized containers filled with red raspberries. Some picked black raspberries and blueberries which have just started to ripen.
Its such a treat to pull these out in the winter time, Ms. Weldon said, noting that shell freeze some berries and use the rest for jam.
Mark A. Merkley, co-owner of Merkleys Farms, said his berry crops are about 10 days ahead of schedule this year. Hes advising customers to head out soon if they want red raspberries which will ripen quickly in the heat thats forecasted for the next few days.
Everything is early this year. The hot weather we got in March kicked it into gear, Mr. Merkley said.
An irrigation system is used to provide enough water to the plants.
Its been hot and dry. Weve been pumping water every day, Mr. Merkley said.
Strawberries arrived early and ended in mid-June this year instead of early July. The red raspberries should still be available for another week or so. The black raspberries just started to ripen and should last longer into the season. The purple raspberries will ripen last.
Depending on the weather, blueberries may last into mid-August. The raspberries and blueberries both sell for $2.95 a pound.
Sara L. Merkley runs the check-out stand next to the berry patches and said business was especially brisk Wednesday when many people were off work for Independence Day.
The morning was insane, Miss Merkley said. Ive never seen it that busy for raspberries on the Fourth of July.
Marilynn J. Harper, Heuvelton, said she heads to Merkleys patches about once a week, usually joined by a friend or two who share her passion for picking.
I like being outside. I have some bushes at home, but they dont produce as much as these, she said.
Her berries will find their way into muffins, coffee cake and jam.
Christopher S. LeBarge, a Lisbon native who now lives near Oneonta, visited the patches with his wife, three children and his mother.
Ill probably make a pie, Mr. LeBarge said. Maybe a cheesecake.
Rachel A. Lukich, Potsdam, prodded her two children, Jackson L. Snee, 10, and Bella L. Snee, 8, to spend more time filling their containers and less time eating the berries. Both children said they like raspberries better than strawberries.
Theyre not as messy and they dont stain your hands, Jackson said. Ill probably eat a whole bucket in the car on the way home.
Merkleys is open from 9 a.m. to noon and 5 to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For information about berry-picking conditions, Merkleys can be reached at 528-0934.
Raspberry picking is also available by appointment at Martins Farms, Stockholm. The red and black raspberries sell for $2.60 a pound.
The purple raspberries will sell for less when theyre available, but a price has not been set yet, grower Daniel Z. Martin said. Customers can stop by the Martins vegetable stand, 11 Needham Road, or call 265-1246.

Aloha to all members of the forum
Please introduce yourself here
Moderators: Jornari, cuddlefish
3 posts • Page 1 of 1
I would like to introduce myself as a new member and hope to get to know you over time. My name is Bo, I run a small home design business called Hierographics and work very part time as a dive guide escorting guests to the world famous manta ray night dives on the Big island of Hawaii. I started diving in Northern California in 1990 and, as an instructor, trained SCUBA in Monterey and Mendocino. My wife, Jamie and I have travelled quite a bit diving and are always looking for the next place to discover. I enjoyed underwater film photography back then and, when I moved to Hawaii in 2004, I started over with digital and struggled for years 'crossing over'. I believe that I have only started to get a handle on it around the begininng of 2009 and enjoy learning new aspects daily.
After starting with a point and shoot, I now use a Canon XTI DSLR with two DS 51 strobes and use the 18-55mm kit lense, a 50mm macro, and the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye (love it).
