Happy Birthday America! (and Happy Wednesday to everyone else!) Before you head out for your 4th of July plans, whether that involves firing up the grill, camping out, or lighting off pretty-exploding powder kegs, let us help you stay safe, beat the heat and the crowds, and have more fun. Let's get started.
This year the 4th of July falls right in the middle of the week, so you have a mere 24 hours to kick back and/or make the absolute most of your mid-week holiday. With a time crunch like that, we can understand how it might seem hopeless, but never fear: Lifehacker is here! Here are some tips to help you dive in headfirst and come out the other side of the holiday intact.
Want to jump to a specific section? Just tell us how you're feeling:
- I'm hot
- I want to blow things up, watch things get blown up, and/or take pictures of things getting blown up
- I'm hungry
Beat the Heat and Stay Comfortable
I don't know where you are, but it's hot here in the USA, so if you're planning on leaving the air conditioning, try to stay cool, drink lots of fluids, and keep your core temperature down. The last thing you want to do on your day off is suffer heat exhaustion and have to go to work on Thursday. Here's your basic checklist to make sure you don't pass out while standing in line at the grill, or waiting for the big finish at the fireworks display:
- Stay Hydrated: Seriously. Drink plenty of water. Take a water bottle with you and keep it filled. The effects of dehydration can sneak up on you, so head them off early. Check with your local government to see if they have cooling or hydration stations near the fireworks, and if you're going out into the backyard, grab a bottle like the Klean Kanteen or a collapsable, portable pack like the Platypus, fill it up, and then head out. Don't like water? It's not hard to learn to love it, but if you must, grab some iced tea or something else water-based.
- Wear Sunscreen: Sunscreen can be a tricky topic, so this infographic boils it down for you. Bottom line? Apply everywhere, re-apply often, and make sure you buy a good one. Oh, and stay in the shade if you can.
- Keep the Bugs away: They're a fact of life, but that doesn't mean bugs have to bring you down. Our top to bottom guide to avoiding stings, bites, and other bug-related nuisances is still the definitive tome for anyone looking for an itch or sting-free summer. Not into bug spray? No problem, we have some tips to help you get rid of the problem before it starts and make your own repellants.
- Watch Out for Others: One of the best things you can do in this hot weather is keep an eye out for the people around you. Elders, neighbors—keep them in the back of your mind and check up on them if you don't hear from them or see them regularly, just to make sure they're okay. Don't forget your pets, either—you can make an ice lick so they enjoy the outdoors too, but remember: they have fewer ways of dissapating heat than you do. If you think it's hot out, they definitely do.
If you do get a little hot out there, remember your body's quick cooling spots. Apply a little ice or some cold water, and you'll cool off in a flash. Here are some other ways to beat the heat:
How Can I Stay Cool While I Sleep?
Dear Lifehacker,
We don't have air conditioning, and with this hot weather its easy to get out of the house to cool off in the daytime, but at night it's really uncomfortable. More »

Master the Fireworks Display
Here in DC, thousands will descend on the National Mall to watch the fireworks display over the Washington Monument, and people will pack themselves in shoulder to shoulder on the mall, sitting in camp chairs and sprawled out on blankets to watch the show. It's likely the same in your community—parks and parking lots covered in blankets and people looking to get the best view. That doesn't mean you have to be uncomfortable though! You can still have a good time.
- Head Out Early: Obviously, the first way to beat the crowds is to head out long before anyone else would. Make a day-trip of it, and head to your local park armed with picnic baskets of food, comfy camp chairs, blankets, and lots of ice cold drinks in your cooler. Pack to last the afternoon, and beat the pack.
- Pick the Right Location: Depending on where you are, there could be several fireworks displays fairly close to each other. Check with your local news affiliate, they're usually the ones who collect and post all of the nearby displays on their web sites, and see which ones are nearby. Then take that information over to Google Maps and check out the location before you head out. That way you can see where there's parking, how big the lots or parks are, and even if there's somewhere better nearby to watch the show without dealing with the crowd.
- Make Your Own Fireworks: First, make sure fireworks are legal in your state before you do anything else. Then read the instructions. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with a few fireworks in your backyard as long as it's done safely and legally. If that limits you to sparkers, so be it, but a few bottle rockets and some sparklers in your backyard or a nearby open field can save you time and hassle. Bonus: you can bring your own food, and there's no competition for a good spot.
- Stay Home: It may not be as much fun as being out and hearing the thundering sounds and seeing the bright lights, but considering the heat, the crowds, and the fuss, you might want to just stay home and watch the spectacle on television. We wouldn't blame you.
If you do go out though, don't forget to take pictures! It's not too hard to get good photos of fireworks, even if the only phone you have is the one on the back of your phone. Here's how:

Master Your Grill and Dish Out Deliciousness
Fireworks and outdoor activities are great, but if the 4th of July translates to you as a great excuse to fire up the grill and serve all of your friends and family some tasty grilled meats and veggies, we're right there with you (seriously, we're coming over.) Hopefully it's not the first time you've lit the grill this summer, but even if it is, here's how you—and your guests—can walk away full and happy.
- Prep The Grill: Make sure your charcoal is laid out for optimal heat, or that you've made a fresh batch of your own, if that's how you roll. If you have a gas grill, you might want to run out and grab some lava rocks so you get the most meat-searing power from your burners. If you're super serious about backyard feasting, you can even make your own fire pit or tandoor oven, but we only have a day for the 4th, so hang on to those for the weekend. Once your grill is all set up though, make sure you know where to put your food for optimal cooking.
- Assemble Your Tools: You don't want to hit the grill unarmed, do you? Grab your favorite tongs, serving dishes, and other grilling goodies and head outside. If you're looking for some upgrades, Grill Clips keep your veggies close together on the grill, and the Stake just might replace all of your other tools. Oh, and don't forget your muffin tin! Headed out? this grill can go with you. If you're doing it up indoors with a grill pan, make sure to open the windows, lube up your grill pan. Either way, brew some coffee: clean up will be a snap.
- Prep Your Food: Before you just toss your grocery store haul—you know, the one you so carefully selected—on the heat, make sure to add some flavor! A little salt and pepper goes a long way (and more goes even further), and if you're ready to step up to marinades, be our guest. We've shown you the chemisty behind marinades, now it's time to put it to good use. Grilling some sausages or brats? Consider poaching them on the grill instead of dropping them right on, and if you're making burgers, make your own and do your guests a favor. We have some tips to help you grill the perfect burger, too.
- Grill Like a Pro: Ready to get cooking? our guide to becoming a grill master will walk you through barbeque perfection from start to finish, whether you're using gas or charcoal. We promise, you won't be disappointed if you follow along.

now this speed run concept was originally developed by me, when trying to come up with a speed run team that could effectively sweep anything in the game with the fewest possible moveslots! and the only method that seemed to work realisticially was the double V method. it was tested once by me, and it does work in FRLG. the timing is perfectly mapped out, the pokemon that you battle are perfect for training the pokemon in question, and they complement eachother type-wise and stat-wise.
The Venusaur and Vaporeon Method or "double V" method
(FIRST THING YOU DO: set text speed to fast, set battle scene off, and battle style to set)
1. get bulbasaur
2. do normal rigamorol to parcel mission
3. go through the forest until you die or get to the other side.
(if you die, go and kill gary, if you get through, continue)
4. kill brock
5. buy as many repels as possible
6. MAKE SURE YOU ARE AN IVYSAUR BY THIS POINT (KEEP TACKLE!!! its the only thing that will
kill oddish)
7. run through mt. moon really fast
8. make sure ur at lv 20 by now, and go catch a spearow (it will make sense soon)
9. kill misty before gary (its faster, and free exp.)
10. gary (use lots of hax to rape his team)
11. grind the trainers
12. bill's thing
13. vermilion
14. grind some trainers to get to lv 25 AT THE LEAST (i was at 30)
15. trade the spearow for a farfetch'd (great slave)
16. run through the ship (grinding is not necessary)
17. kill gary (should be reasonably easy)
18. get cut (lol)
19. fight any amount of grind trainers you like (but not too many for time), then kill surge
20. go back to cerulean, and go towards rock tunnel
21. you DO NOT need flash. use repels and grind some trainers.
(the rest of the game is mostly quick grinds, and maintaining only 2 battling
pokemon: vaporeon and venusaur)
22. after rock tunnel, venusaur should be about lv 36
23. skip lavender, and run to celadon, where alot of team stuff will occur
1. get eevee by running behind the big building and entering.
2. go to the front of the big building and go in. talk to the old bitch and get the tea
3. go to the superstore and buy a waterstone (use it on eevee immidiately!!! no exceptions!).
then teach it water pulse that you won from misty.
4. go to the tree at the far left of celadon before biking road and use cut. run through
and get fly from the girl in the house, then teach it to farfetch'd.
5. begin the team rocket hideout mission.
6.*****IMPORTANT***** fight JUST ENOUGH rocketeers to get vaporeon to level 30. bite will
be its big special attack against all of the psychics coming soon. and also make sure to
grab the blackglasses! great for bite!
7. sweep giovanni. should be easy.
8. fly to vermilion to obtain the bike voucher from the pokemon maniac club (OPTIONAL)
9. fly to cerulean to get the bike. (OPTIONAL)
10. fly to lavender
11. gary (should be easy)
12. level up vaporeon to level 36 (for aurora beam), then skip battles as much as you can.
13. kill mamawak
14. kill team rocketfags
15. get the scope
16. make sure your main attackers (venusaur and vaporeon) are at about lvl 40.
17. go kill erika, but kill the minimum amount of gym girls
18. DO NOT TEACH GIGA DRAIN TO VENUSAUR!!!!!!!!! 5 pp ruins speed runs
1. ok, now vaporeon takes over the last 4 gyms. start by going to saffron
2. do the whole silph co thing (get veunaur to level 45 first, then use vaporeon)
3. if you take the quickest route through the tower (took me 3 minutes), then you should
have venusaur at 45 and vaporeon at about 43-45. heal up, then take gary on.
4. lapras get
5. lapras put away
6. kill giovanni once again (super easy)
7. then fly to lavender, and speed down to fuscia
8. do the safari zone missions (takes 2 minutes with max repels)
9. teach surf to vaporeon and stregnth to venusaur (you might change it for EQ later)
10. go back to saffron
11. kill sabrina with vaporeon bite-spam
12. go to fuscia and do the same but with surf
13. fly to pallet and surf down to cinnibar. while on the way, level up venusaur as much
as you can on trainers ONLY. lv 50 is a good stopping point.
14. speed through the mansion with repels and venusaur. vapo will get enough exp from
the gyms.
15. cinnibar gym. now you can speed or grind. whichever you choose. grinding is what i did,
and it definitely helped. (venus: lv 52, vapo: lv 49)
16. get ready for pointlessness!!! TRI ISLES!
17. don't explore. get every mission done post haste and leave.
18. fly to vermilion and speed through the gym.
19. totally rape giovanni with vaporeon at like lvl 55 (mine was 56)
20. you might want to teach EQ to venusaur, but to each his own
21. kill gary with vaporeon since his team is almost begging to be raped by it
22. go back to a p. center and get your PP restocked. grab as many ethers/elixers as you can
muster, and get ready for endurance...
1. level up venusaur with the trainers in victory road. it needs it.
2. remember to repel constantly.
3. make sure they are both at about 58 ( somewhere around that)
4. heal up, buy as many full restores/revives as possible, and challenge the league.
5. LORELI: ok, so most of the game is basicially this...
Sleeppowder>leech seed/razorleaf> razor leaf. continue to do this until vicotry.
6. BRUNO: repeat step 5, but razor leaf onixes out.
7. AGATHA: vaporeon takes the stage. use bite to rape agatha, and surf/aurora beam to
fuck with golbat and arbok
8. LANCE: is a bit trickier... set the game to "shift" and start with venusaur. use
the "step 5" attack set to kill gyrados. when he switches to anything else, vaporeon
can take it out with aurora beam.
9. GAY *erm* GARY: ok, this one is amazingly hard with 2 pokes. if you don't have a magneton,
start with vaporeon. do not use acid armor! he only has 2 physical attackers that vaporeon
might have to deal with! aurora it out of the doubt. he will send in eggsecute. use bite
(since it has blackglasses boost). it will probably put you to sleep, so full restore.
it will proceed to giga drain, but vapo takes it like a man. simply bite it till it dies.
then, he will probably send in gyrados or charizard. charizard is an easy KO, but gyrados
is trickier... switch to venusaur and sleep-leech-leaf it out. when he sends in alakazam,
you can use vaporeon or venusaur, since neither will get a 1HKO from it, and they both
have a method of killing it. as for rhydon/charizard, vapo makes quick work of them.
11. profit! you have just beaten the E4 with 2 pokemon in ridiculously fast time!
12. credits
my personal experience with this method!:
beat all gyms by 5:00
at indigo plateau by 6:07
beat the e4 at 8:12 (AND THATS WITH TRAINING A MAGNETON FOR THE E4 14 LEVELS because it was a test run)
your team should look something like this:
Venusaur lv60: stregnth, leech seed, sleep powder, razor leaf
Vaporeon lv60: acid armor, bite, surf, aurora beam
well, i had fun doing this run, and i hope you take some odd insight from it for the 4th/5th gen runs

Clean Energy Jobs Plan Clears House in Historic Vote
Sierra Club Cheers House, Looks Ahead to Senate Action
Washington, D.C.—The House of Representatives today passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454/2998, also known as Waxman-Markey). The Sierra Club offered the following comments in response.
Statement of Carl Pope, Sierra Club Executive Director
"With today's historic vote, Congress has taken the first step toward unleashing a true clean energy revolution. President Obama and tens of millions of environmentalists, union members, veterans, people of faith, small businesspeople, corporate leaders, sportsmen, and concerned citizens have been calling on Congress to get America running on clean energy. Congress has finally answered that call.
"Speaker Pelosi, Chairmen Waxman and Markey, and many others deserve hearty congratulations for shepherding a comprehensive clean energy and climate plan to passage. For decades, they have been the strongest champions for our environment. Without their extraordinary leadership, today's vote would not have possible.
"This bill sets the stage for the dawn of the clean energy future. While imperfect, it sets forth a set of goals America must achieve -- and exceed. Its most important achievement is setting the United States on a path to reduce carbon emissions some 80 percent by 2050. It also makes strides in halting international deforestation, requires new buildings to dramatically slash energy waste, will speed the development of made-in-America electric vehicles, and provides important protections for workers, consumers, and others who may be affected by our transition to a clean energy future.
"We urged the House to pass this bill so that we could work to strengthen it before it reaches President Obama's desk. It is now of the utmost importance that the Senate improve several of its provisions. In particular, a mechanism for cleaning up the oldest and dirtiest coal plants must be included in a final bill. It's also vital that we ramp up the bill's investments in energy efficiency, hasten our transition toward clean energy sources like wind and solar, and steer more of the bill's investments toward the public benefit—not polluters.
"An unprecedented coalition of environmental, faith, community, labor, veterans, business, and other groups mounted one of the most vigorous grassroots campaigns in decades to move this crucial legislation through the House. We will now redouble our efforts to move an even stronger bill through the Senate and on to the president's desk as soon as possible."

Man dies in Wallburg house fire
Published: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 10:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 10:13 a.m.
WALLBURG | An 82-year-old man died in a house fire Friday evening on Reid Road after neighbors attempted to save his life.
Neighbors say Wayne Setliff of 4950 Reid Road was pronounced dead inside of his two-story house in northeastern Davidson County.
The fire was investigated by the Davidson County Sheriff's Office and Davidson County Fire Marshal's Office. The house received major damage and appeared to be a total loss. Davidson County Fire Marshal Danny Ward said the cause of the fire was being listed Monday as undetermined. However, fire investigators are pointing to the living room in the area of the home entertainment center as the fire's origin, he said.
Setliff's neighbors, Robert Walker and Beau Gardner, attempted to save Setliff's life. Walker said he was walking his dog when Setliff's daughter told him to call 911 because the house was on fire and her father was in there and couldn't get out. Gardner's wife, Jessica, had just arrived home, and she alerted their 6-year-old daughter, Grace, to tell her father he needed to get outside.
Walker and Gardner tried to make entry into the area through a side of the house, but there was too much smoke.
"I hollered for (Wayne), and I could just barely hear him trying to holler for help," Walker said.
The neighbors decided to throw a rock through the front door and kicked it open.
"By that time, a bunch of black smoke just started rolling out, and you couldn't get in there," Walker said. "By that time, he was probably already gone."
Gardner said his wife called 911, and Setliff's daughter was standing nearby.
"As soon as I got the door open, there was so much flames," he said. "It was just overwhelmed."
Ward said Setliff was found in the middle of his house in a hallway approximately 10 to 15 feet from the living room. It was unclear Monday if the 82-year-old was trying to enter or exit the living room.
Ward said Jonathan Reid, a lieutenant with the Wallburg Volunteer Fire Department, and Josh Brady and Luke Easter, both of the Union Cross Fire Department, removed the man from the burning house. Larry James, director of Davidson County Emergency Services, said Setliff "was beyond revival" once he was pulled from the house.
Gardner, who lives across the street from Setliff, recalled Saturday morning the man coming over to his house all the time. He said Setliff loved bluegrass music and would often bring his family bluegrass CDs.
"He truly is the nicest man," he said.
Gardner explained the tragic death was tough on him.
"I just wish I could have done more honestly," he said, as he began to tear up. "The hardest part of all this is his daughter standing right there and saying, 'My daddy is still in there,' and I couldn't do anything."
Gardner said Setliff treated his daughter like a grandchild. He said his daughter throughout the night kept saying she wanted Wayne back. Gardner said he wouldn't just only treat his daughter like that, but would also bring things to children at his church.
Jamison Sears, a supervisor with the Davidson County 911 Center, said firefighters with the Midway, Gumtree and Union Cross assisted the Wallburg Volunteer Fire Department.

Although lift-serviced slopes dominate the winter psyche of Park City's outdoor populace, Nordic skiing is a growing trend in Summit County, and skate skiing is the aerobic frontrunner. Skating technique can look comic or graceful, but either way, it's a full-body workout and a first-class way to enjoy Utah's snowscape.
Here are our picks for getting that workout before the weather changes.
Round Valley
Round Valley's trail system is vast, with nearly 25 miles of loops and spurs maintained by the Mountain Trails Foundation. The only flaw in this 700-acre mecca is self-inflicted; apparently no one expects a skier to pick up after Fido while zooming along the hardpack. There are numerous access points, but the most convenient is Quinn's Trailhead, just off Highway 248 b the National Ability Center.
Union Pacific Trail
The "Rail Trail" runs from Bonanza Drive out to Wanship and feeds directly into the Round Valley network. As of this fall, its 12 miles of groomed track now run uninterrupted with the reopening of the I-80 eastbound overpass.
White Pine Touring Nordic Center
The pristine tracks at White Pine lure the devoted Nordic athlete, but the rentals, lessons and women-only clinics bring everybody else. Fresh corduroy every morning and a "skiers-only" designation make the center ideal for skaters. A day pass costs $18 for adults, but even if you're skating someplace else, stop by White Pine for gear and expert guidance before hitting the trailhead.

Bimstein's work will be on display until March 4 at the Finch Lane Gallery. I cannot emphasize enough the magnificence of her work and the pull it seems to have on the viewer. Perhaps much of my enchantment has come from her life story, as told to me by her two children, Phillip and Barbara.
Phillip shared that his mother's interest in art began just after spending time "growing up in an orphanage in the 1920s." Helenka walked into a Toledo Institute Traveling Show which opened her eyes to the world of art. It was 34 years later that she started on her own artwork.
Helenka's art crosses into many cultural influences. She was fascinated with all things Egyptian. She would purchase Egypt art books, and allow her imagination to form art. Religion-wise, Helenka was pantheistic- she didn't adhere any one religion, but she had a fascination with spirits.
Romance is another strong theme in her work. Every piece, according to Phillip has a touch of this theme. Another influence, which is probably the most prevalent, is music. Her favorite piece was Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. In fact, when she passed, she was listening to this beautiful piano sonata. Her work has rhythm and color in such an express manner that it sings to the senses.
It was actually Barbara that first discovered and then strongly encouraged her mother's pursuit of painting and all things artistic. Barbara found paintings behind the furnace in her mother's home and "had a fit because she [her mother] wasn't painting." She told her mother, "you do beautiful plants, amazing fantasies." Barbara described her experience nurturing her mother to "take hold of herself and her art."
Truly Helenka has left a legacy that transcends time. One motto of hers was to "dress young, be young, think young." She thought of herself as 40-50 years younger than 96 and truly was "good to the end." Truly this life motto permeates into every painting and sculpture she has created. It is as though her work sings of freedom, passion and belief.
I invite you to lose and find yourself in the work of the late Helenka Bimstein. Her work has been featured across the nation, making this truly a once in a lifetime chance to have a personal glimpse into the heart and soul of a spirited artist who expressed that the intent of her art was to "recover that moment of almost lost, innocent discovery."

More than 1,125 hummingbirds were banded this year.
Tana Beasley of the Potlatch Conservation Education Center in Casscoe said, while the majority were common Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, there were three Rufous Hummingbirds captured along with 127 additional hummingbirds that were already banded from previous years.
"I have not looked all of them up, but a lot were banded within the past three years at this location," Beasley said, adding that the birds were captured during the same season each time.
Hummingbirds typically have a three-to-five year lifespan. They migrate to South America in the wintertime with the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird the only common hummingbird to Arkansas County.
The small birds are a popular favorite "because you can get them to come to you. People put up feeders for themselves," Beasley said, adding that hummingbirds will consistently stay at a home if there is food or flowers. People are also fascinated with how territorial the hummingbird is, which is funny to watch.
"Plus, we don't know a lot about them," She said. "Also, they are so tiny, especially if they got to release one or see the banding. They think they are so fragile, but they are not. They are pretty tough."
Beasley is the only hummingbird bander in Arkansas. She said more banders are located on the eastern coast so more is known of the hummingbird migration patterns there. She still gets plenty of calls from people across the state wanting to know about the small birds.
"I love banding the little birds," she said. She also enjoys getting other people interested in them.
She primarily captures and bands at the Casscoe center, although she travels elsewhere 5-10 times to band unusual hummingbirds, such as the Rufous or Calliope Hummingbirds, that have made their way into the state — typically in the wintertime.
"It's easy to catch them in the wintertime because they don't have the Ruby-Throated to contend with," she said, adding that the Ruby-Throated are territorial often driving other hummingbirds away from the feeders.
This year, Beasley said she identified the closest Rufous she has seen to Casscoe at a Stuttgart home. "I think the little Rufous couldn't get to the feeders because the Ruby-Throated were defending them so she took the flowers so they couldn't get the flowers.

Wireless networking in Linux is really easy to use. The wireless-tools allow to explore and configure wireless network.
- Managed: one access point and one or more client. To use this mode you have to use the command:
iwconfig netcard essid myessid mode Managed
where netcard is the network identifier (eth1, wlan0, ...) and essid the wireless network SSID.
- Ad-hoc: it's a client to client connection. To use this mode you have to use the command:
iwconfig netcard mode Ad-hoc essid myessid
- Master: in this mode, your wireless card act like an access point, only few network adapter support this mode (you have to patch the driver with hostap).
iwconfig netcard mode Master essid myessid
WEP stands for (Wired Equivalent Privacy). It is currently deprecated by WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
To set WEP key, use the following command:
iwconfig netcard key mykey
If you want to change your WEP key (access point support 4 keys), you can use this script (found on linuxfr.org)
RANDOM=$$$(date +%s) keynumber=$[ ( $RANDOM % 4 ) + 1 ] iwconfig eth1 key [1] key1 iwconfig eth1 key [2] key2 iwconfig eth1 key [3] key3 iwconfig eth1 key [4] key4 iwconfig eth1 key [$keynumber] iwconfig eth1 key on
You can generate a WEP key from a passphrase but iwconfig doesn't support this option. The key is generated using md5. The following script in perl creates a key from a passphrase :
#!/usr/bin/perl # Perl script to convert a passphrase to a WEP key. # By Aki Mimoto use strict; @ARGV or die "Usage: $0 passphrase\n"; print generate_key( @ARGV ), "\n"; sub generate_key { # -------------------------------------------------- require Digest::MD5; return substr Digest::MD5::md5_hex( substr( shift() x 64, 0, 64 ) ), 0, 26; }
It will work with a lot of access points except Apple because they don't use the same implementation.
WPA works in Linux. You need an agent program (supplicant), which maintains security associations online. There are two programs for that:
- wpa_supplicant
- xsupplicant, part of Open1X project
Useful commands
Find access point
You can scan wireless network with the command:
iwlist netcard scanning.
Find if you are connected or not
You can know if you are connect or not using
or just with the command:
iwgetid netcard -p
If you see unassociated you are not connected to the wireless network.
Before 2.6.14, ieee80211 was not in the kernel source; now it is. IEEE 802.11 is a wireless communication standard. You can find a description in the 802.11 header in /usr/include/net.
Before buying a wireless card take care about its Linux compatibility, not all cards are supported.
To find a suitable card, you have to google, but take care about exact version/revision of the card, 2 versions of a card don't have the same chips.
The chips that are supported on linux are: ipw2200, ipw2100, atheros, prism, ...
The ipw2200 chipset (Centrino laptop) is supported by linux. After the 2.6.14 kernel, the ipw2200 is included in the main kernel tree.
This driver doesn't allow packet injections (packets are dropped by Firmware), this is why you can't use the card using this chipset in Master Mode (to act like an access point).
Contrary to what is written on the Lan Ressource, the ipw2200 supports Monitor mode.

|E.B. Hess
Burdette Hess was a trenchman for the Vandal football team from 1951-54. As a guard on the Idaho line, Hess paved the way for a 1954 squad that rushed for at least 100 yards in each game, including a 475-yard outburst in a 45-0 victory over North Dakota. He also played linebacker for the Vandal defense, which blocked a then-NCAA Record nine punts and held opponents to then-school record lows of 1,009 total rushing yards and 2.6 yards per carry in 1952. He helped the Idaho 1954 defense hold six opponents fewer than two touchdowns, which includes shutout victories over Washington State, North Dakota and BYU. He was an East-West Shrine Bowl invitee following his senior season in 1954. He was drafted in the 15th round of the 1955 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

There are two people who have been asking noted Christian apologist William Lane Craig to debate them for years. And he has consistently declined, always with specious excuses–which are all the more galling given that they are much the same excuses Dawkins gave for not debating Craig, which Craig then mocked, not at all grasping the irony.
John Loftus
One of those guys is, of course, Craig's former student, John Loftus, author and editor of multiple books and chapters in the philosophy of religion and Christianity, with multiple graduate degrees in the field. Loftus has analyzed all the accumulating excuses Craig keeps giving for never debating him, including his declaration that "the person I fear debating the most is a former student of mine" (a statement Loftus has multiply confirmed). Indeed. Fear. Attempting to backtrack from that embarrassing admission, Craig has retreated to a litany of other excuses, which Loftus has pointed out are ridiculous at worst, and specious at best (here and here). It's been years now. No change.
Jeffery Jay Lowder
Jeffery Jay Lowder, co-founder of the Secular Web and an astute analyst and skilled debater (who now blogs regularly for Secular Outpost), commented on this odd and persistent refusal by Craig to ever debate Loftus and there even noted that Craig was willing to debate him…until, apparently, he chickened out. That wasn't Lowder's conclusion, it's mine; Lowder tried to be charitable.
But now Lowder is starting to get suspicious. All the way back in 2006 Lowder documented Craig's willingness to debate him…and his sudden backtrack (with the "I won't debate anyone without a Ph.D. excuse," which is funny because Craig has debated lots of people without Ph.D.'s–and even the people with Ph.D.'s he has debated, few have Ph.D.'s in the actual subject they debated: philosophy of religion; Lowder is actually far more skilled in that field than most of them).
And yet before deploying that excuse, and beating a retreat, Craig actually said:
Yes, I did say I'm happy to have a debate with Jeff. My statement to whatever university group is referred to [that he wouldn't do any debates unless invited to do so by a university] is just my general policy to which I feel free to make exceptions. Jeff is an exception.
Apparently not any more. Because that debate never happened and Craig now refuses to debate him. What changed?
Lowder has now blogged about his latest refusal when he invited William Lane Craig to debate him in 2014. His excuse this time was that he's busy. Or more specifically, he really wants to write his next book so he can't debate anyone for…well, apparently a year. Hmmm. I wonder how many people Craig will end up debating in this coming year anyway. Indeed, apparently just as Craig was telling Lowder that, Craig was asking to debate biologist Jerry Coyne next year, and Coyne refused. So, Lowder reasons, apparently there is a debate Craig agreed to do and scheduled for next year that now has no opponent…well, great! Now he can debate Jeff Lowder! I mean, he can't use the "I'm busy" excuse now, can he? I wonder what his fallback excuse will be.
(Has Craig used enough diverse excuses to avoid debates by now to fill out a bingo card? Anyone who makes one, definitely link it here in comments. I will appreciate the amusement.)
Lowder informs me that he's "been trying to schedule a debate with [Craig] for over a decade, but for one reason or another it never happens." He even documents this litany of refusals stretching back fourteen years. Note that Lowder has been at the forefront of studying Craig's apologetics and has spent nearly two decades making available online critiques of Craig's arguments from diverse authors, some with Ph.D.'s in philosophy, history of philosophy, theology, or biblical studies.
Even noted Christian apologist Victor Reppert has expressed puzzlement and disappointment at Craig's persistent refusal to debate Lowder, writing that:
I am personally disappointed that there has never been a Craig-Lowder debate. I do not think [Lowder's] background knowledge would be weak; I am trying to understand the Ph.D. rule that Craig has. There is no committee I have in mind; I just was thinking about how Bill and company would go about selecting debate opponents. After a bad debater debated against Bill, he called me (as I had asked him to) and told me that even though the opposing debater was bad this was nonetheless a good opportunity for the presentation of the gospel. The comment made me cringe a little.
Reppert openly wonders whether indeed Craig is afraid to debate Lowder. I suspect he is. I've been told Craig won't debate me again, either (even though he has debated several other opponents multiple times–even opponents without Ph.D.'s, and I have one). Is it the same thing? I don't know.
There can be no doubt Lowder is as qualified as anyone else Craig has debated, and in fact more qualified than most. In addition to being a reasoned and well-informed critic of Craig for 20 years (as just noted), Lowder is even published on this subject (the philosophy of religion and Christianity) and frequently cited as an authority or contender in it, unlike many other opponents Craig has debated.
Even apart from his extensive online writing and editing and compiling, much of which Craig has also seen worthy enough to respond to, Lowder has authored or edited the following in print:
The Empty Tomb: Jesus Beyond the Grave (co-edited with Robert M. Price; Prometheus, 2005. (Featuring a litany of experts, many specifically addressing Craig's apologetics, including Lowder's own contribution.)
- [That book received a lot of attention, being reviewed by Jana Riess (Publishers Weekly); John Jaeger (Library Journal); Richard Ruble (Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith); Robin Griffith-Jones (Times Literary Supplement); R. Joseph Hoffmann (Free Inquiry); Glenn Balfour (Journal for the Study of the New Testament); Tim Callahan (Skeptic); Norman Geisler (Christian Apologetics Journal); Stephen T. Davis (Philosophia Christi); and New Testament Abstracts. It was also discussed in Charles Foster, The Jesus Inquest: The Case For and Against the Resurrection of the Christ (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2010), chapter 4.]
- [Indeed, it has been seen as such a threat it is attacked in Lee Strobel's The Case for the Real Jesus (Zondervan, 2007; e.g. pp. 108-111, 145-147, 151) and in Tim and Lydia McGrew, "A Cumulative Case for the Resurrection of Jesus," in The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology, actually edited by William Lane Craig himself, and J.P. Moreland; in Josh and Sean McDowell's More Than a Carpenter (rev. ed., Carol Stream: Tyndale Momentum, 2009), e.g. p. 134; by Stephen T. Davis in Disputed Issues: Contending for Christian Faith in Today's Academic Setting (Waco: Baylor University Press, 2009), pp. 66-73; and even by William Lane Craig himself, in Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics (third ed., Crossway, 2008), e.g. p. 376.]
"Historical Evidence and the Empty Tomb Story: A Reply to William Lane Craig," The Journal of Higher Criticism 8:2 (Fall 2001): 251-293.
- [This article gained considerable attention, too. It was cited in Michael J. Cook, Modern Jews Engage the New Testament: Enhancing Jewish Well-Being in a Christian Environment (Woodstock, VT: Jewish Lights, 2008), e.g. p. 324, nn. 20 and 22; and in Michael Martin, "Review of The Resurrection of God Incarnate by Richard Swinburne," Religious Studies (2004): 367-71; and both defended and criticized in Dale C. Allison, Resurrecting Jesus: The Earliest Christian Tradition and Its Interpreters (New York: T & T Clark, 2005), e.g. pp. 314 n. 451, 318 n. 468, 319 n. 473, 326 n. 506, 334 n. 537, 336 n. 545; and critiqued by Robert Bowman, Ken Neimann, and Lenny Esposito on Apologetics.com Radio (Los Angeles radio station KKLA, 99.5 FM), on April 19 of 2003.]
"Review of The Case for Christ, by Lee Strobel," Philo 2 (1999): 89-102.
- [Which gained enough attention to be criticized by Lee Strobel himself on "The Bible Answer Man," a nationally syndicated radio show with Hank Hanegraaff, on July 13 of 2000. It was also addressed in John Noe, "The Only Defense in the Major Case Against Christ, Christianity, and the Bible," presented at the 54th annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in Toronto, Canada, November 2002.]
Lowder's writings in print and online have gained expert attention in several venues, for example:
- Daniel Howard-Snyder, "Was Jesus Mad, Bad, or God?… Or Merely Mistaken?" Faith and Philosophy 21 (2004): 456-479.
- Michael Martin, "It Is Not Rational to Believe in the Resurrection" in Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Religion (ed. Michael L. Peterson and Raymond J. Vanarragon, Malden: Blackwell, 2004), 174-184.
- Wes Morriston, "Causes and Beginnings in the Kalam Argument," Faith and Philosophy 19 (2002): 233-244.
Lowder has also engaged several formal public debates, and in each performed excellently:
- "Does God Exist? The Cases for Faith and Atheism," a debate with Rev. William Gipson (theist), Prof. David Hufford (theist), Stephen Van Eck (deist), and Hillary Aisenstein (atheist), at the University of Pennsylvania, on April 24, 2000.
- "Naturalism vs. Theism: Where Does the Evidence Point?," a debate with Phil Fernandes, sponsored by the Society of Humanist Philosophers, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on September 26, 1999. [This debate is widely considered one of the best debate performances ever by an atheist on God's existence.]
- "Evolution and Creation," a team debate with Jason Robar, Lief Moi, and Doug Jue on "Street Talk," KGNW AM 820, Seattle, January 15, 1994.
So, no slouch or nobody here. Lowder is a contender.
If Victor Reppert, Stephen T. Davis, Norman Geisler, Lee Strobel, Tim and Lydia McGrew, Mike Licona, Charles Foster, Josh and Sean McDowell, Daniel Howard-Snyder, Wes Morriston, Michael Martin, Robert M. Price, Ted Drange, Keith Parsons, Richard Carrier, Robert Greg Cavin, and Evan Fales think Lowder is worthy of being cited or critiqued, or collaborating with on a book, then why is he not worthy of a debate with William Lane Craig?
Inquiring minds want to know.

What is the easyest way to set encrypted volume under linux?
Basically, what I want is to have fixed size file in my home folder. When I mount it and type password, it should appear as regular folder. I should also be able to umount it.
If it would be possible to prevend other users, including root, to access it while mounted, it would be a bonus.
It shouldn't depend on any kernel featueres or configuration, cause I want to be able to mount it later on another computer.

Cracow Travel guide
Cracow : Michelin's recommendations
Krakow is the historic capital of Poland: a place of deep religious significance, the final resting place of the Kings of Poland, the site of the venerable university where Nicholas Copernicus studied and Pope John Paul II attended the seminary. It seems almost miraculous that the city escaped destruction during the Second World War. The exceptional architectural heritage is a result of the influence of Casimir the Great (14C). This influence extended beyond the city and well into the 16C with the arrival of the Italian Renaissance.

text: Nov 11, 2012 23:57 Mitt Romney Charles Boustany Bob Mann Jack Donahue. CAPITOL NEWS BUREAU Comments Richard endorses Boustany for House Ron Richard, the Democrat from Lake Charles who came in third in the southwest Louisiana congressional balloting last week, endorsed Rep. Charles Boustany in the Dec. 8 runoff to choose the new 3rd U.S. Congressional District representative. "I've seen firsthand how deep-rooted his support and organization runs in this district and I am proud to endorse him," Richard said. Richard polled 67,069 ballots or 21.5 percent of the 311,392 votes cast Nov. 6, according to the complete, unofficial count by the Secretary of State's Office. Boustany, R-Lafayette, came in first in the five-man race with 139,123 votes or 44.7 percent. His challenger in the runoff is U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia, polled 93,527 or 30 percent of the vote. Both incumbents, Boustany and Landry, were forced to run against each other because of congressional redistricting. Louisiana is losing a U.S. House seat because of a lack of population growth. State: Romney won 57.8 percent La. vote Former Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican Party candidate, easily won Louisiana in the Nov. 6 presidential election with 1,151,846 ballots or 57.8 percent of the 1,992,318 of the votes cast, according to unofficial but complete results released by the Secretary of State's Office. President Barack Obama polled 807,856 — still more than Gov. Bobby Jindal tallied in 2007 or 2011 in lower turnout elections — but far fewer than the GOP nominee in 2008 and last Tuesday, the Secretary of State statistics showed. Obama, however, won East Baton Rouge, Caddo, Orleans, St. Helena and six other parishes, according to figures compiled by GCR Inc., of New Orleans, which is under contract to the Secretary of State. Suburban parishes of Ascension, Livingston, Jefferson and St. Tammany went heavily for the Republican nominee. Both Cameron and LaSalle parishes gave Romney 87.1 percent of the ballots cast in those parishes. The results won't be official until Nov. 15. Military and provisional ballots are still being counted. EBR casts most votes for Socialist party Interestingly, East Baton Rouge Parish also cast the most votes — 130 total — for standard bearers on one of the three Socialist party tickets competing in the presidential race, according to complete but unofficial results released by the Secretary of State's Office. Only Jefferson Parish, with 90 votes between the three candidates, and Orleans Parish, with 89 votes, came anywhere close to Baton Rouge in terms of supporting socialist candidates for president. The presidential candidate for one of the three parties, Peta Lindsay of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, visited Baton Rouge during the campaign. The Socialist Equality Party and Socialist Workers Party USA were the two other competing political organizations. La. rep. says he slept through election Election night was a snooze for state Rep. Chris Broadwater, despite the close presidential race. Broadwater, R-Hammond, said he accompanied his wife to the polls, cooked dinner for his family, sat down to watch the election coverage and fell asleep in front of the television. He dozed off about 9 p.m. and didn't wake up until just before dawn. "It was a good election night," he said. "I slept through it." Jindal backs Hughes for Supreme Court After remaining silent on his choice in the crowded Louisiana Supreme Court race, Gov. Bobby Jindal is picking a favorite in the runoff. The governor's spokeswoman, Shannon Bates, said Jindal supports Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal Judge Jefferson Davis "Jeff" Hughes III, of Walker. Like Hughes, the governor is a Republican. Hughes will face off against his colleague, Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal Judge John Michael Guidry, a Democrat from Baton Rouge, in the Dec. 8 runoff for the District 5 seat on the Louisiana Supreme Court. Blogger: Gov. Jindal eyeing presidency One of Gov. Kathleen Blanco's former advisors thinks her successor is plotting a path to the White House. "Bobby Jindal is running for president," Bob Mann wrote in a blog. "That will be his passion for the foreseeable future. He won't be running the state of Louisiana, except in the most cursory way." Mann is director of LSU's Reilly Center for Media and Public Affairs. On election night, a number of political analysts tapped Jindal as one of the emerging future leaders of the national Republican Party. Mann said Jindal likely will delegate the running of state government to aides while he focuses on his ambitions. "Sure, he'll bark some orders to the LSU Board of Supervisors and fire a legislator or two," Mann wrote. "But most state decisions are now delegated to top aides who seem quite adept at devastating the state's budget on their own." Senator: School Board change is needed State Sen. Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville, sponsor of a ballot measure to place term limits on local school board members, said change is needed because of the quality of public schools. "We are fortunate to have some good ones, but for the most part, they are not," Donahue said. All 67 school districts that considered the limits approved them. State Medicaid director retires Medical director Dr. Rodney Wise of Louisiana Medicaid has retired. Dr. Rebekah Gee will become the program's next medical chief, but that won't happen for a while. "She will begin her role in January, when she returns from maternity leave," state health agency spokeswoman Kristen Sunde said. Gee has been with the state Department of Health and Hospitals for two years as director of the Louisiana Birth Outcomes Initiative. In the interim, DHH's Office of Public Health medical director Dr. Takeisha Davis will be working with Medicaid to provide medical guidance. Advisory group to review tax code The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana has formed a tax advisory group to look at potential improvements to the state's tax code and structure. Gov. Bobby Jindal has announced he'll embark on a tax revamp during the 2013 Legislature. Legislators have begun a review of tax laws, including myriads of exemptions. The PAR advisory group includes former Louisiana commissioners of administration Jerry Luke LeBlanc, Angéle Davis and Mark Drennen; as well as economists, businessmen, accountants, tax attorneys and former state Department of Revenue officials. Co-chairs will be LSU economist Jim Richardson, a past PAR chairman, and PAR president Robert Travis Scott. PAR's website www.parlouisiana.org will provide access research, government reports and information regarding Louisiana taxes and how they compare to other states. Look for the I.Link.Louisiana section and "Tax Policy." 9-week course offers campaign training The Manship School's Academy of Applied Politics is offering a nine-week certificate program offering training in running political and public affairs campaigns. Classes will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Jan. 30 to March 27, in the Journalism Building on LSU's campus. Speakers include former U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, and presidential campaign counselor Frank Greer, of Washington, D.C. The course is open to the public, although enrollment will be capped at 25. The fee is $750.

What is workers compensation insurance?
Workers hurt on the job are protected by workers compensation insurance.
Oregon law requires employers to insure their employees by purchasing workers' compensation
insurance. There are over 200 insurance companies providing workers compensation insurance
in Oregon.
With rare exceptions, Oregon has a no fault system, which means both workers
and employers are protected from the time and expense of determining who caused an on-the-job
accident. It is the workers responsibility, however, to prove that an injury or disease
is job related rather than substantially related to a preexisting condition.
Workers compensation insurance pays for medical services and provides temporary disability
(lost wages) payments if an injured worker must be off work due to their on-the-job injury.
What kinds of
injuries or illnesses qualify for workers compensation benefits?
Generally, any injury that occurs while working (or illness due to work)
that requires you to see a doctor or results in disability or death may qualify for workers
compensation benefits. An injury could be traumatic (caused by an accident), cumulative (caused
by repetitive motion), or an occupational disease (such as loss of hearing). A doctor must
be able to verify that there is objective medical evidence showing that an injury or disease
exists and that work exposure was the major cause.
does a worker get benefits when hurt on the job?
The insurer will begin evaluating your claim as soon as it is received.
The insurer will notify you and the employer in writing when the claim has been accepted
or denied. A claim number will be assigned to the claim. A claims adjuster may contact you
by telephone or in writing to ask questions about your claim. You should have your claim
number with you when you complete any forms, see the doctor, or call the insurer. Having
the claim number available will also help you get your questions answered quickly.
Time-loss (wage
replacement) benefit levels
You will get time-loss
payments from the insurer if your doctor authorizes time off work or modified work (also
called light duty) that results in lost wages. Your first check will usually
be issued two weeks after you report the claim to your employer, but only if the doctor provides
written authorization to the insurer soon after you are injured. Otherwise, your first check
will be issued within two weeks from the date the insurer receives authorization from your
During each appointment, ask your doctor to send appropriate time-loss authorization to the
insurer. If time-loss authorization expired before your appointment, your doctor can approve
time-loss payments only for the previous two weeks. You may also help to ensure timely payment
by contacting the insurer as soon as you begin to miss work.
Time-loss benefits, sometimes called temporary total disability (TTD) or temporary partial
disability (TPD), are based on your weekly wage when you were injured.
After your time-loss payments end, you may be entitled to unemployment benefits (even if
it would ordinarily be too late to qualify).
Partial Disability (TPD)
ORS 656.210, temporary
partial disability is defined as partial disability that is only temporary, meaning the worker's
attending physician has released the worker to return to work with less than a regular work
release. The worker is partially disabled because he or she is capable of performing some
type of work, whether or not any work meeting his or her restriction is available.
Temporary Total
Disability (TTD)
ORS 656.210, temporary
total disability is defined as
total disability that is only temporary, meaning the worker's attending physician has restricted
the worker from performing any type of employment duties. The worker is totally disabled
for a temporary period of time.
(wage replacement) benefit levels
If you had additional jobs at the time of injury, you may be eligible to
receive additional disability payments. You must notify the insurer about the other jobs
within 30 days of the insurers receipt of your initial claim. You must provide proof
of wages (e.g. check stubs or payroll records) paid on the other jobs within 60 days of the
insurer's request or you will be found ineligible for supplemental disability benefits.
Partial Disability (PPD)
If your Notice of Closure shows you have permanent partial disability,
this means your injury caused a condition that has not returned to its normal or pre-injury
condition. You will receive payment from the insurer for this disability, and the amount
will depend on the severity of the disability. Disability to certain body parts, such as
a hand or foot, is paid at a rate set by law. Payment for a body part or system (such as
the back, hip, or respiratory system) may be affected by factors such as age, education,
work history, and current ability to work.
If the insurer overpaid you for past benefits, the insurer may recover the overpayment by
reducing your permanent disability payments or by reducing future benefits.
Total Disability (PTD)
Permanent total disability is the loss of use or function of any portion
of your body, including preexisting disability, which permanently incapacitates you from
regularly performing work at a gainful and suitable occupation. ORS 656.206(1)(a)
If your closure document shows you have permanent total disability, this means you are permanently
unable to work. You will receive monthly disability payments for the rest of your life if
you remain totally disabled. The insurer will reexamine your claim at least every two years
to see if you remain unable to work.
Three-day waiting
The first three days you lose work may not be paid by the insurer unless
you are hospitalized or unable to return to work at all for at least 14 days. This is called
a three-day wait. It is required by state law and acts as a form of deductible.
If your doctor released you to any kind of work in the first 14 days after you are injured,
you will not be paid for the first three days missed. If you are hospitalized overnight,
or unable to be released to perform work of any type (at the direction of your doctor) during
the first 14 days after you are injured, the first three days missed will be paid.
dates of injury prior to 1-1-05:
Scheduled versus unscheduled injury payments
Scheduled disability is the complete or partial loss of use or function
of your arm, hand, leg, foot, or other extremity of your body, or the loss of your visual
or hearing ability. These body parts are listed on a schedule with an amount of money applied
to each, so that you and all Oregon injured workers receive the same amount of money for
the same disability, regardless of what job is performed at the time of injury. ORS 656.214.
Unscheduled disability affects your ability to earn a wage. It applies to impairment
of body parts that are not listed as scheduled. ORS 656.214(5)
Dates of injury on or after 1-1-05:
"Impairment" means the loss of use or function of a body
part or system stated as a percentage of the whole person.
"Work disability" means impairment modified by age, education, and adaptability
to perform a given job.

ZF-2879: Create an init() method for processing form models
Currently the documented best practice for creating a Zend_Form 'model' (i.e. adding fields/validators/etc. from within the user-defined class) is to override the '__construct' method.
The documentation fails to add the critical line 'parent::__construct($options)' - a sticking point that saw about an hours' worth of trying to debug the problem (that was my own fault, though :)
Instead of requiring '__construct' would it be possible to add an 'init()' method? The benefits are:-
- Doesn't require overriding constructor (unnecessary in a lot of instances)
- Becomes a recommended but not required coding practice within the framework - as per Zend_Db, Zend_Controller, etc...
Suggested patch:

Scheduling for 1.5.1.
One note: I think that init() should be called not as the last item in __construct(), but the last item before the call to loadDefaultDecorators(). This would allow you to prevent the default decorators from loading if you were to create them in your init() method.
Added in trunk and 1.5 release branch; docs updated in trunk.
I'm assuming this fix is merged to the 1.5 release branch for release with 1.5.1. Please update JIRA if this is not the case.
