Parish History
Holy Redeemer parish was established on February 5, 2000. The parish was formed by the merger of the then two existing parishes in Ellwood City, St. Agatha and Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The merger was the result of a study begun in July 1998 by a committee consisting of members of both parishes. The study looked at the parishes' ministries, demographics, finances, worship and buildings. The study concluded that the declining population and shrinking economy meant that Ellwood City could no longer support two independent parishes. Since both parishes already shared priests and several ministries, a merger of the two parishes was the logical next step. This merger took place on September 5, 2000.
At first, both churches remained open and served the new parish. It soon became obvious, however, that the parish could not support two churches. On September 8, 2007, St. Agatha was officially closed and Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary was renamed Holy Redeemer.
An additional change to the parish happened in 2011. On April 1, 2011, a fire struck Queen of Heaven Church, Koppel. Before repairing the church building, the diocese conducted a study to determine the needs and resources of the local Catholic community to determine if the church should be repaired. Based on the study, the diocese decided to merge Queen of Heaven Parish into Holy Redeemer Parish. The merger took place on November 26, 2011.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas doctor sentenced to life in prison for a 2009 bombing that nearly killed the head of the state medical board should be resentenced on some convictions, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.
A jury convicted Randeep Mann, 54, in 2010 of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction and other charges. The Feb. 4, 2009, bomb attack took away Dr. Trent Pierce's sense of smell and left him blind in one eye and deaf in one ear.
Mann's attorneys appealed his convictions and sentences, arguing there wasn't enough evidence to convict him.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday that Mann shouldn't have received a sentencing enhancement based on allegations that he ordered the assault of an inmate. The panel said the allegation was never brought up in court and was improperly referenced in a pre-sentencing report.
"The only reference in the record to Mann ordering the assault of a federal inmate is contained in a bench conference that occurred at trial between the district judge and the attorneys," the appeals court opinion said.
The court affirmed the weapon of mass destruction conviction, but ordered that one of Mann's two machine gun convictions be tossed out, finding they amounted to double jeopardy. Mann was convicted of both possessing an unregistered machine gun and possessing a machine gun.
Prosecutors said Mann was responsible for a bomb left outside Pierce's home in West Memphis, Ark., after the board suspended Mann's license following the overdose deaths of some of his patients. Pierce has said he believes the attack was revenge for revoking Mann's license to prescribe narcotics.
"Mann had a long history of investigations by the Board, and Dr. Pierce testified that he had been particularly vocal about his belief that Mann was providing improper care to his patients," the appeals court opinion said.
U.S. Attorney Chris Thyer said he was pleased with the court's decision.
"The United States understands and accepts the reasons for the reversal on the machine gun and sentencing issues and will prepare for the resentencing hearing," Thyer said in a statement. "The affirmation of the jury's verdict on the counts of conviction puts to rest any questions of the defendant's guilt, especially regarding his role in the 2009 bombing of Dr. Trent Pierce."
Online court records didn't list a new sentencing date for Mann as of Thursday.
"We're hopeful, obviously, that he will be able to get some relief from a life sentence," one of Mann's lawyers, Blake Hendrix, said.
Hendrix also said he anticipates asking the appeals court to rehear the case and reconsider the rulings that were unfavorable to Mann.
Federal prisons records show Mann is serving a life sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary-Canaan, about 20 miles east of Scranton, Pa.

Harvey Washington Wiley was born October 18, 1844 near Kent, Indiana. In 1863, Wiley enrolled in Hanover College and left the following year to join the Union Army as a member of Company I of the 137th Indiana Volunteers. In April of 1865, he returned to Hanover and graduated in 1867. Wiley joined the faculty of Northwestern Christian University [now known as Butler University] and began medical studies at Indiana Medical College. Wiley graduated from medical school in 1871 and taught briefly at a high school in Indianapolis before becoming Professor of Chemistry at Indiana Medical College. In 1872, Wiley took a year off to earn a BA at Harvard and then returned to Indiana to resume his duties at the medical college. At the same time, Wiley began teaching chemistry at Northwestern Christian University and Indiana University's newly formed Indianapolis Medical College. In 1874, Wiley left Indianapolis to take the first chair of chemistry at the state's newest institution of higher learning, Purdue University.
Wiley's first task at Purdue was to prepare the university's entrance exams, a job which had apparently been overlooked until the eve of opening day. Wiley taught chemistry and physics and became a very popular faculty member among the students. As faculty advisor, Wiley was instrumental in forming the university's first newspaper, The Purdue, in 1875 and organizing Purdue's first military cadet program, the "Purdue Army," in 1877. Wiley became a familiar sight around campus after bringing the first bicycle into Lafayette, a 1880 high wheel Harvard, which he rode to and from class. This was the final straw for the Board of Trustees, who reprimanded the professor:
"We have been greatly pleased with the excellence of his instruction, and are pleased with the popularity he enjoys with the students. We are deeply grieved, however, at his conduct. He has put on a uniform and played with the boys, much to the discredit of the dignity of a professor. But the most grave offense of all has lately come to our attention. Professor Wiley has bought a bicycle. Imagine my feelings and those of the other members of the board on seeing one of our professors dressed up like a monkey and astride a cartwheel riding along our streets." (Wiley Autobiography, 157- 158)
Despite the Board of Trustees' displeasure, Wiley enjoyed his work at Purdue. Besides teaching he began studying sugars which resulted in a commissioned report for the Indiana State Board of Health on the varieties of sugars and syrups available in the state.
In 1883, Wiley left Purdue to become the Chief Chemist in the United States Department of Agriculture. Wiley continued his research in sugars and syrups and eventually became interested in food of all types. One of his main concerns was the lack of pure food products available in the market which eventually led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. In 1912, Wiley resigned from the USDA and took over leadership of the Good Housekeeping Magazine Labs and established the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Wiley remained a bachelor until his sixty-sixth year when he married Anna Campbell Kelton in 1911. The couple had two sons, Harvey Washington Jr. and John Preston. Harvey W. Wiley died in his home on June 30, 1930 and is buried at Arlington Cemetery.

-Simon \"SDK\"
looking forward to grab that CD as soon as possible. It really helps me out in our insitutes lab where there no linux machine. :-)
It\'s all about sense of power.
i'm downloading it as we speak , thanks for the link !
Anyone test to see how well "Aptget update" and "Aptget upgrade" work after a hard drive install?
Any of you guys ever tried Knoppix-STD?
To be honest, I like it alot better than regular Knoppix; mind you, Knoppix-STD is still in it's infancy.
...This Space For Rent.
Thanks for the link!!

Yes I do play the Bagpipes!
And learning to Play the Bugle
yes knoppix std is still verry young but i love it...but sometimes when you boot up linux you just dont need all the honeypots, port scanners, crackers, etc.....sometimes you just want to check your mail or something...so knoppix is fine...and sometimes even that can be too much
so i carry along with knoppix and knoppix std the linux bbc distro....very very handy and it includes X of some sort so you can get online and check your mail from any computer in any hotel lobby and so on
http://www.lnx-bbc.org/download.html <----take a look when ever you get the chance folks
work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger
Knoppix is a great cd to learn about linux. I also like knoppix std for the way it is set up and the tools that are included. But to just get online at school, I like to use slax. It is small and fast on the slower computers that still exist.
For more cd based linux distros:
Handy announcement, but doesn't this belong in the "Operating Systems" forum?

I have a HP ZE4145 that I've been having a hell of a time installing linux on. Redhat 9.0 freezes at the choose ok to install or update.... Mandrake 9.1 has an unrecoverable error on boot from the cd.... phlak wont boot...knoppix std won't boot...3.4 nada//...downloaded knoppix 3.6, same thing...I get the initial knoppix screen, press enter to boot and it just goes black and never initializes.
1.53 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP
256 kilobyte primary memory caches.
Is this because of the Athlon processor?
I did get Mandrake 10 to install but it keeps insisting on disk 4.. I have 3.. I can't even install any games without disk 4! And my mouse pad won't work.
I have Knoppix on my old desktop and I love it, I've installed it on my old Dell laptop and it worked great. Why won't it work on this machine??

California Olive Ranch, Oroville, Calif., is more than doubling its olive oil production with the planting of the largest high-density olive oil orchard in North America near Artois in Northern California.
About 500,000 olive trees will be plantged on 883 acres of land in Glenn County, a major olive producing area. This new land and orchard expansion translates into the potential to annually produce more than 260,000 gallons of premium quality olive oil.
"The California olive oil industry is growing by leaps and bounds with no end in sight," said Alan Greene, vice president of sales and marketing for California Olive Ranch. "Demand for California olive oils is surging among chefs and consumers alike. Sales numbers are growing dramatically every year and this latest expansion enables us to be strategically positioned to meet future demand. Once these trees have matured, California Olive Ranch's oil production will skyrocket."
Once the newly acquired land is leveled and prepared, planting will begin and be completed within 30 – 45 days. To accomplish this, approximately 10,000 to 15,000 trees will be planted per day. Each tree is 12 – 18 inches tall when planted but will grow to more than 6 feet, 6 inches tall in just one year.
In 1999, California Olive Ranch introduced the U.S. olive oil industry to the "Super High Density" (SHD) planting system which results in the trees being planted closely together much like a grape vineyard. Using this approach, trees are planted in hedgerows and trained to grow in a trellis style for harvesting with over-the-row modified grape harvesters. The SHD planting system results in significantly more olive trees per acre (675 trees per acre compared to 120 trees per acre using traditional planting and spacing).
Three signature olive varieties will be planted on the new land in Artois: Arbequina, Arbosana and Koroneiki.
The California Olive Ranch has produced a number of award-winning, high-quality extra virgin olive oils as evidenced with two recent showings at major international olive oil tastings. At the 2006 International Olive Oil Competition in Los Angeles, Olive Ranch's "Miller's Blend" received the "Best of Show" honor in the medium intensity category. Other honors from that 2006 competition for California Olive Ranch included a gold medal for its Koroneiki variety and silver medals for each of the other varieties that include its Arbequina, Arbosana and Estate Reserve Blend. At the 2006 Huiles du Monde (Oils of the World) competition in Aix en Provence in the South of France, California Olive Ranch's Arbosana was awarded a gold medal in its category.
As California Olive Ranch prepares to plant the nation's largest olive oil orchard, company executives continue to search for additional acreage in the San Joaquin Valley for another large orchard and possible location for a new olive oil mill.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats and Republicans in Congress vowed urgent support Tuesday for a $225 million missile defense package for Israel, boosting the likelihood that legislation will clear Congress before lawmakers begin a monthlong vacation at week's end.
"Let's stop playing games," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., calling the assistance a necessity for the "life-or-death struggle Israel faces."
Graham and other supporters made their comments as Israel unleashed its heaviest bombardment yet in the four-week war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. At least 1,200 Palestinians have been killed, including more than 100 Tuesday, according to Palestinian health officials. Israel has reported more than 50 soldiers and three civilians killed.
Amid a daily barrage of Palestinian rocket fire, Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system has been credited with knocking hundreds of missiles out of the sky. While the Obama administration has pressed for a cease-fire, it also has backed Israel's desire to replenish its missile defense stockpiles. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel extended Israel's request to Congress last week.
Despite Graham's admonition, neither Republicans who control the House nor Democrats who command a Senate majority have yet to announce plans for a vote on a stand-alone bill on the issue.
In the House, majority Republicans unveiled a measure to cope with an influx of younger immigrants reaching the United States illegally from Central America, and said funds for Israel would be handled in a separate bill that has yet to be made public.
At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest expressed disappointment at the lack of funding for Israel in the House measure.
In the Senate, Democrats have combined money for Israel, border security and wildfire assistance into one measure. But Republicans oppose it because of a disagreement over provisions relating to the immigrants now flooding into the country from the south.
Despite the apparent deadlock, there were signs of willingness to compromise.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he was prepared to consider a stand-alone bill providing money for Israel. Across the Capitol, numerous Republican aides said the House would likely pass any legislation the Senate approves on the subject.
Despite the potential for compromise on missile defense, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell implicitly criticized the Obama administration for efforts to arrange a ceasefire he said would be imposed on Israel and reward Hamas for a "campaign of terror."
"I support any effort which brings this campaign to an end in a manner that increases Israel's security," McConnell said Tuesday. "That means that Hamas cannot be left with a large stockpile of missiles and rockets, cannot be left with infiltration tunnels — they must be destroyed. Hamas cannot be allowed to aggressively rest, refit and build up weapons stockpiles."

Amherst's Huntington sees vision realized in PittsburghBy BILL BRINK
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
September 30. 2013 5:56PM
CINCINNATI — The visitor's clubhouse at Wrigley Field is about the size of a large college dorm room. A week ago, it smelled like one as well. One day after the Atlanta Braves celebrated clinching the National League East, with the carpet still damp from the Champagne showers, the Pirates came to town and that night secured a playoff spot.
Neal Huntington stood out of the way, or as out of the way as the small clubhouse allowed him. Minutes earlier, the Pirates general manager received his own dousing of Champagne at the hands of a player.
Asked what went through his head when the Washington Nationals lost that night, meaning the Pirates were on their way to the postseason for the first time in 21 years, Huntington said: "It's what we came here to do, is play meaningful games in September and playoff games in October. It's another step."
A native of Amherst, N.H., and graduate of Milford High School, Huntington has spoken some variation of those words several times. They sound like a cliche. To Huntington, they represent a belief.
He has received heaps of abuse during his six years as Pirates GM. Some of it was deserved, some not. Through it, he has not wavered in his belief in what he was doing and what he was building. He is unassuming in public, driven and aggressive in private. He remains steadfast in his philosophies.
"I think it starts with, and obviously it comes from him: a vision for the organization, a vision for the club," assistant GM Greg Smith said. "I think taking that back to when we all came on here the fall of '07, the beginning of '08."
Less than a year ago, Pirates owner Bob Nutting said he considered firing Huntington and other members of the front office after the Pirates fell for the second consecutive year from playoff contention to a sub-.500 record. "We considered all kinds of alternatives," Nutting said in November.
Huntington has said he did not work differently to save his job. He acted aggressively this offseason because that is how he operates.
"He is a relentless worker," manager Clint Hurdle said.
First priority: catcher. Huntington and his front-office team identified Russell Martin as an asset on both sides of the ball and signed him to a two-year, $17 million contract.
They did the same thing with left-hander Francisco Liriano, whom Hurdle identified as the Pirates' top pitching priority before this season. A supremely talented pitcher a few years removed from his best performances, he fit the type of player the Pirates often target.
Liriano made clear to his agent that he wanted a multi-year deal, and he said the Pirates were the only team to offer him one. They agreed to terms on two-year contract worth $12.75 million, but Liriano broke his non-pitching arm before taking his physical. The original deal fell apart.
"They were nice to me," said Liriano, who eventually signed a one-year deal containing a vesting option for 2014. "I know Neal had tough decisions to make when I broke my arm because he didn't know what was going to happen, whether I was going to pitch or not this year."
After the conclusion of the Ronny Cedeno era in Pittsburgh in 2011, the front office needed a new shortstop, quickly identified their target and signed Clint Barmes to a two-year, $10.5 million contract before the 2012 season.
The Pirates do not sign every player they set their minds to, but the two they added this season played a large role in their success. Despite not starting the season until May 11, Liriano struck out 163 batters in 161 innings and compiled a 3.02 ERA. Martin threw out more runners attempting to steal than anybody else in baseball and ranks ninth in the majors in defensive wins above replacement, a metric that quantifies overall defensive contribution.
As proactive as Huntington can be, he also stands his ground when he feels it necessary. Entering the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, the Pirates were 64-42 and in first place. A third consecutive fade from contention after a promising first four months of the season would likely not be tolerated. It is hard to imagine a situation involving more pressure on a front office to make a move; opposing teams even seized on that narrative, using it to try to extract a higher return from the Pirates in trade negotiations.
Yet Huntington and the Pirates did nothing. "We were willing to do something stupid," Huntington said at the time. "We just didn't want to do something insane."
After the deadline, Huntington made two waiver trades, adding Marlon Byrd and Justin Morneau for the stretch run.
When Huntington discusses decisions the Pirates make, he does so in terms of the short-term and long-term ramifications. That can frustrate some players, not to mention a fan base tired of waiting for competitive baseball, but he has not wavered. Huntington also defended his franchise, and his colleagues, from criticism regarding the Pirates' use of military-inspired training methods with players in the lower levels of the minor leagues.
"I've always believed in what we were doing, why we were doing it, how we were doing it and with whom I was doing it," Huntington said. "We knew that we were in for a challenge."
Most moves this season, including acquiring Liriano, Martin and setup man Mark Melancon, who came to the Pirates as part of a trade with the Red Sox for Joel Hanrahan, worked. Huntington is quick to credit everyone else: his scouts, his player development staff, Hurdle.
Six years ago, before the free-agent signings that worked and the Champagne shower and the playoff appearance, Huntington was a 38-year-old former special assistant to the GM for the Cleveland Indians who, for some reason, agreed to the task of trying to drag the Pirates out of baseball purgatory.
"I think there is a tremendous opportunity here with the Pittsburgh Pirates," Huntington said at his introductory news conference in 2007. "We're going to change the culture. We're going to change how we do things. Every one of our decisions will be a progressive process in bringing a winner back to Pittsburgh."
Six years later, the winner is back, and Huntington, as ever, has one eye turned toward the future.
"The sustaining is much harder than the building," he said Sunday. "Fasten your seatbelts."

NOTE: Although this guide should work in most cases, it is not flawless and still requires few minor modifications to make the process bug-free. Please do point out corrections and changes.
(After you are done with this post, please do checkout my Python Hostapd Client)
I was recently looking into ways to use my laptop's wifi adapter as a wireless access point to enable my phone (Nokia E63) and playstation portable to connect to the internet through it. Ad-hoc feature may be used to share internet through wifi, but it doesn't work with many phones and my PSP. I found connectify and virtual router for Windows which served this purpose, unsatisfactorily. Other than the reasons like Virtual Router not detecting my 3g modem and Connectify (free version) not allowing me to set desired ssid for my virtual access point, the biggest issue with these two was the limited modes available for the access point. Both the programs offered only WPA2-PSK encryption for infrastructure mode and WEP and open encryption for ad-hoc modes. Many devices connect only through infrastructure mode and support for WPA2-PSK is absent in few devices (including the PSP). Also, since I am a Linux user, I needed something else.
This is where hostapd kicks in.
"hostapd is a user space daemon for access point and authentication servers. "
In simple words, hostapd allows you to create software wifi access points allowing decent amount of configuration options. In rest of this post, I will show how to create a software access point in Linux using hostapd and share your internet to the devices through it. I have used my Lenovo Z560 with ath9k wifi driver under Arch Linux and have also tested it under Ubuntu 11.10. But the method is also applicable for other Linux distros and supported hardware.
If the method works/doesn't work for a non-Atheros wifi card, please do comment.
- Supported Wireless Card (ie. supports master mode)
- An internet connection you want to share. (not strictly a neccessity)
- A linux distro
First of all, you will need to find if your wireless card is supported by hostapd.
To check what kernel driver is in use for your wireless card, type the follwing in the terminal
lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i "network"
Look for the section in the output which corresponds to your Wireless controller. In my case, it is
06:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device 30a1
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
The Bold part is my kernel driver in use. It will vary depending on your wifi card and driver you are using.
Now get the interface details of your wireless driver by
modinfo ath9k | grep 'depend'
replace ath9k by your wifi kernel driver you determined in the last step. In my case, the output was
depends: ath9k_hw,mac80211,ath9k_common,ath,cfg80211
modinfo says my Kernel driver supports mac80211 interface which is supported by hostapd which implies that my wifi card is compatible with hostapd.
Supported wireless cards/drivers
- Linux mac80211 drivers
- Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3
- madwifi (Atheros ar521x)
- BSD net80211 layer (e.g., Atheros driver) (FreeBSD 6-CURRENT)
Install Hostapd from your distro's repo
#Arch Linux sudo pacman -S hostapd #Ubuntu sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install hostapd #Should be available in official repo of your distro
Or Download Hostapd here and compile it.
The /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf is the main configuration which you need to deal with in order to set up a SoftAP.
This is the minimal configuration setting which will let you test if hostapd is working. Create a file ~/hostapd-test.conf
with the following content:
#change wlan0 to your wireless device interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=test channel=1
start hostapd by
sudo hostapd ~/hostapd-test.conf
Use a wifi device to check if the access point is being detected. You won't be able to connect to it at present.
Once hostapd is working fine, its time to configure hostapd with more options.
Here is a brief overview of some of its options:
#sets the wifi interface to use, is wlan0 in most cases interface=wlan0 #driver to use, nl80211 works in most cases driver=nl80211 #sets the ssid of the virtual wifi access point ssid=dontMessWithVincentValentine #sets the mode of wifi, depends upon the devices you will be using. It can be a,b,g,n. Setting to g ensures backward compatiblity. hw_mode=g #sets the channel for your wifi channel=6 #macaddr_acl sets options for mac address filtering. 0 means "accept unless in deny list" macaddr_acl=0 #setting ignore_broadcast_ssid to 1 will disable the broadcasting of ssid ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 #Sets authentication algorithm #1 - only open system authentication #2 - both open system authentication and shared key authentication auth_algs=1 #####Sets WPA and WPA2 authentication##### #wpa option sets which wpa implementation to use #1 - wpa only #2 - wpa2 only #3 - both wpa=3 #sets wpa passphrase required by the clients to authenticate themselves on the network wpa_passphrase=KeePGuessinG #sets wpa key management wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK #sets encryption used by WPA wpa_pairwise=TKIP #sets encryption used by WPA2 rsn_pairwise=CCMP ################################# #####Sets WEP authentication##### #WEP is not recommended as it can be easily broken into wep_default_key=0 wep_key0=qwert #5,13, or 16 characters #optionally you may also define wep_key2, wep_key3, and wep_key4 ################################# #For No encryption, you don't need to set any options
So, here is my complete /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf with WPA authentication options.
interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=dontMessWithVincentValentine hw_mode=g channel=6 macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 wpa=3 wpa_passphrase=KeePGuessinG wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP
Alternative Method: I recommend using dnsmasq over dhcpd for this scenario mainly due to the ease in configuring it. I have continued this post from this point in a new separate post which uses dnsmasq instead of dhcpd. If you have any reason to choose dhcpd over dnsmasq or if dnsmasq isn't working for you, then carry on.
Now that hostapd is running fine, you need to setup a DHCP server to run along with hostapd in order to assign ip address to the devices connecting to the access point. Setting up a dhcp server is quite straightforward.
Install dhcp server from your distro's repo.
#Arch Linux sudo pacman -S dhcp #Ubuntu sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server #Fedora sudo yum -y install dhcp
edit /etc/dhcpd.conf (for arch linux) or /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf (for Ubuntu) to
ddns-update-style none; ignore client-updates; authoritative; option local-wpad code 252 = text; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { # --- default gateway option routers 10.0.0.1; # --- Netmask option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; # --- Broadcast Address option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255; # --- Domain name servers, tells the clients which DNS servers to use. option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1, 220.127.116.11, 22.214.171.124; option time-offset 0; range 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.13; default-lease-time 1209600; max-lease-time 1814400; }
options are easy to understand and you may change it according to your needs (if required).
The final steps involves enabling NAT to share internet in one network interface with the clients connected through hostapd.
I have included all the steps to configure wlan interface, enable NAT, start DHCP server and hostapd in the BASH script below
Let the name of this file be initSoftAP.
Copy the BASH file below to the file initSoftAP.(and make changes to file according to your system)
#!/bin/bash #Initial wifi interface configuration ifconfig $1 up 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 sleep 2 ###########Start DHCP, comment out / add relevant section########## #Thanks to Panji #Doesn't try to run dhcpd when already running if [ "$(ps -e | grep dhcpd)" == "" ]; then dhcpd $1 & fi ########### #Enable NAT iptables --flush iptables --table nat --flush iptables --delete-chain iptables --table nat --delete-chain iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface $2 -j MASQUERADE iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface $1 -j ACCEPT #Thanks to lorenzo #Uncomment the line below if facing problems while sharing PPPoE, see lorenzo's comment for more details #iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 #start hostapd hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf 1>/dev/null killall dhcpd
Script Changes (12/9/12) : Added check for already running dhcpd process (Thanks to Panji), Added an optional line to fix issues related to PPPoE connection sharing (See lorenzo's comment)
It might be more convenient to use hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf which runs hostapd in background. (Thanks to Enda for pointing out)
Make this file executable, and run it. The syntax for executing it is
./initSoftAP wifi_card_interface interface_with_internet
chmod +x initSoftAP ./initSoftAP wlan0 eth0
The "wifi_card_interface" will be wlan0 most of the cases. For "interface_with_internet", since I want to share internet from my ethernet network interface, I used eth0. If I ever want to share internet from my 3g modem, I use ppp0. (These values need not be same for everyone)
You may see available network interfaces by
ifconfig -a
- If dhcpd is failing to start and throwing errors like No subnet declaration for wlan0, take a look at these comments by Mahesh and Charlie. Either use dnsmasq, or try adding the following to the /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server file
option netbios-name-servers 10.0.0.1
- Raspberry Pi users might want to take a look at Denis Kökeny's comment.
Problems, Errors, Feedback or any alternatives? Feel free to reply.

Community Movie Likely Happening As Well
"Preliminary conversations" have taken place.
Yesterday it was announced, unbelievably, that Community would air a 13-episode sixth season on Yahoo. And though fans were happy, it was hard not to wonder if the full "six seasons and a movie" prophecy would come true. According to Sony TV's president of programming and production, Zack Van Amburg, it will. Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, he responded to the question of a possible seventh season by saying," I don't know, let's see how our movie does! Isn't that our plan? There's no way we're not making the movie now!" If that doesn't sound committal enough, he also added, "I'd be lying if I told you that we have not had some very early and preliminary conversations that are very exciting about what a potential movie could be and who might direct it." Pop! Pop!

South Carolina's Legislature apparently has had enough with problems caused by feral hogs and coyotes.
The Palmetto State's not big but it's big enough and has enough swamps, forests and ag lands to make hogs feel at home. Coyotes just hang out because they can, along with having enough deer and other critters to sustain them. Even the lowly armadillo is coming under the crosshairs.
Hunters, landowners and the public have had enough of the terrible trio. South Carolina's Legislature is taking a look at allowing just about anything to get rid of them: hunting at night, lights, laser sights and bait.
"What we're talking about is killing," Rep. Mike Pitts, R-Laurens, said in a story last week in The State. "We're not talking about hunting. We need to take these animals out any way we can."
Almost every state in the Southeast has relaxed or is considering relaxing regulations about killing these pests. Biologists and hunters have been saying this needs to be done for years. Maybe, perhaps, it's not too late to knock back the populations in a severe way.
Read the full report here: Click this link
What do you think about relaxing the regulations for killing hogs, coyotes and armadillos? They destroy crops, can leave holes in farmland that can harm livestock and are killers of wild game. Should there be a no-holds barred open season on them?

Former Shaw soccer player working on game
By Troy Johnson, Columbus Ledger-Enquirer
Even though he's surrounded on the field by other college soccer players, Clay Watkins quickly developed the sense that he had graduated to another level when he signed on this summer to play for the Panama City Pirates of the Premier Development League.
The amateur league serves as a proving ground for players 23-and-under and a recruiting pool for the United Soccer Leagues, which features professional teams in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. A few minutes into his first practice, Watkins, a former All-Bi-City player at Shaw High School, realized that he wasn't playing in a glorified summer recreational league.
"The style of play is probably 10 times faster than it is in college," said Watkins, a midfielder. "Everything from doing the little things to doing the difficult things is a lot easier for these players. Passing the ball around is just easy for them. They don't struggle to trap a ball or knock a ball from one side of the field to the other."
Watkins, who can trace his soccer beginnings back to Bibb Field as an under-6 player, knows where the game could take him if he continues to sharpen his skills. One of the players he encountered on the fields at the Woodruff Soccer Complex happened to be Marshall Leonard, who parlayed his talents into a career with the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.
"I've played with him a few times," said Watkins, who will begin his senior season at Georgia Southwestern State in Americus in August. "It's never been farfetched to look at him on TV and say, 'Why can't I be there?' "
Watkins, who earned All-America and All-Region honors at Darton College in Albany before transferring to Georgia Southwestern State, has found an abundance of inspiration while playing for the Pirates this summer. One of his former teammates at Georgia Southwestern is busy carving out a pro career in Sweden's first division.
In the PDL, which sells itself as a place for amateur players to compete in a "professionalized setting while maintaining their collegiate eligibility," there's the possibility of playing in front of scouts from the USL or abroad. The league features 67 teams spread across four conferences.
The Pirates' 16-game regular season comes to a close Sunday, but Watkins said the experience has been worthwhile.
Even though the Pirates have played their home games at a local high school, Watkins said the interest in the team has been surprising. He said the typical home crowds of 400 dwarf what he saw during his last college season.
The most enjoyable component for Watkins, however, has been the regular opportunity to challenge himself against players from major college soccer factories like Duke, Virginia and Clemson. It's a rare experience for an athlete from a small college, akin to a Division II basketball player going up against counterparts from Kansas and UCLA.
"Everybody you play against is a top-notch player still in college," said Watkins, a 5-foot-8, 150-pounder. "Some of the guys that are here could easily go play in the MLS right now and they're 19 or 20 years old."
While Watkins will return to Georgia Southwestern to finish out his college career and a degree in business management, he understands the value of the visibility offered by the PDL. GSW, a Division II program, went 0-18 last season. Professional scouts tend to flock to programs in the Atlantic Coast Conference or Pac-10.
"If you have Duke or UNC written on your back, you could have played 25 minutes there (in your career) and you have yourself a good ticket," Watkins said. "You have your shot here. It's better than sitting at home and not doing anything all summer. I think you'll get a better look here than you would just coming out of college. Just getting a shot is the hard part.
"It's been an experience I wouldn't trade for anything."

Here are two photos showing "Then and Now" shots of Hyde Grammar School.Look at how the housing estate has shot up in the second photo !
Hyde Grammar was practically the only building around on the older picture .
Barry in Oz. There's an interesting video on Youtube showing Hyde grammar lads playing football in 1946 with Fred Whyatt as a lad, he was later the gym teacher at Floweryfield secondary, also Warren Bradley, the Man U and England player.
Does anyone know when the older photo was taken?
Amazing at how the housing has developed around the school on Clarendon Rd
Barry Mr Whyatt was my PE teacher at Hyde Grammar did he teach at Floweryfield before teaching at Hyde Grammar? we use to call him Pele presumably because of the great Brazilian football player but I dont why as I cannot see a connection
I have watched the youtube video out of interest
It was whilst I was at Hyde Grammar mid to late 70's that it's closure was announced around 1975 I think?
It stopped intakes so numbers of pupil's declined and losing teachers it was gradually closed over a period of time and became a sixth form college
The old tennis court's and athletic's field are now the site of Hyde police station
The film was taken by George Wain who was the Art master at Hyde Grammar. There are other of his films on YouTube, too.
Barry in Oz. Yes Tigerboy, Fred taught at Floweryfield before he went to Hyde Grammar I believe. His place at FF was taken by MR Hart.
Barry in Oz. Looking at the old photo I'm wondering if the large house at the top is Goodier House.
By sheer coincidence my old home is featured in George Wain's film "Much Ado" albeit very briefly blink and you miss it!
Woodfield farm on Knott Lane
I often wondered what the farm and area looked like before the estates were built and this film gives some indication
Did you know Joan Green? She was my best friend at junior school and lived on Knott Lane.
I've watched the George Wain films several times in the past - love the 'little boy lost' one. Going back to Hyde Grammar, for most of my years at primary school my ambition was to pass the 11+ and go there but, alas, by the time I did pass, they'd built the ghastly Astley and I had to go there. I love the Hyde Grammar school song though.
I am sorry I did not know your friend Joan
I lived at the farm for around 4/5 years in the early to late 70's so as a young to mid teen boy my social circle was pretty limited
Kind regards Mark B

Goodier House was not on Ashton Road which is the road in the picture. That house is situated where the second hand car garage is today, facing the football field.
I went to Hyde Grammar in 1974. "Pele" Whyatt made me captain of the football tea - I think because he had taught my brother 16 years previously! By 1974 he was the senior PE teacher, assisted by Mr Bennett and later Mt Cotter. Both these were "rugby" specialists, whilst Fred was football. He allocated other teachers to run the teams on a saturday. Mr Bibby, a Latin teacher, was our coach / manager. I was in the upper sixth at the start of the September 1980 term, when girls arrived in the lower sixth and we became a 6th form College.
Great site.
Hi Paul
You must have been around Hyde Grammar at the same time as me possibly same year or year below
I never made school team I was a late developer went on to play football at a local amateur level for a couple of teams in the Anglian Combination football league
Pleased you commented I always remember there was a bit of a leaning to Rugby at the school
I also remember Mr Bibby he taught me latin till I dropped the subject although to my shame I can only recall one phrase " In pictora est puella"
Regards to you Paul
Mr Bibby...yes with ink and blotting paper to write in italic's wow!
I was there(colin taylor) with mr cottee 1974 as head coach for our rugby union team......cracking bloke. team had....grant Thompson,steve thornton, tim spiers,shaun simpson,dave seddon,timothy barker in it to name a few......had a huge welsh lad called taffy too.
Good days them trotting up to Victoria street with 3/4 inch aluminium studs tapping in unison up the footpath.
Hi Tigerboy and Colin,
So what has happened to the playing fields on Victoria Street! Are they housing now?
I, too, remember the clattering of studs up Clarendon Road.
I also remember playing cricket in the annual match against teachers on the cricket pitch on the top field.
I was bowled by Mr Rod (Emu) Hall whilst trying to slog him onto the road.
I had some fantastic teachers. Obviously Mr Bibby as mentioned, but also Jorris, Doctor Bhattia, MA Patterson, and my personal favourite Mr Whittle, who taught me history at A level.
It became a 6th form college when I had finished the lower sixth, and was lucky enough to have an influx of lower sixth girls when I was in the upper sixth - happy days!
Good luck to all Old Hydonians everywhere!
Is anyone in contact with Dave Green, Simon Entwistle, Tina Proctor, Wendy Entwistle and Julian Entwistle most of whom left in 1974? Doing some research for my sister in law Ali Grief now Taylor who is trying to make contact. Thanks

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The vibrant celebration of Easter is a highlight of the church year, and for Christians the world over, this day is special on so many levels. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus after being crucified on a wooden cross for the sins of believers is significant and the key tenant to which their faith is tied. Almost every church celebrates in some fashion, and folks the world over gather to share this victorious day together.
We are going to deal with a subject today that I firmly believe God has put on my heart. I have several reasons for choosing this subject, and one of them is that some folks never get it right in an entire lifetime. There is good and helpful criticism, which leads to improvements, good jobs being done and healthy attitudes among all ages. And there is bad or poor criticism, which usually leads to anger, uncertainty, bitterness and often failure.
My last two columns have been written with an eye toward a subject that has garnered much attention in the past few weeks. From media newscasts, radio broadcasts, special speakers and pastors and teachers, we have been hearing about the historic events unfolding more quickly with each day and night we live. One lady said to me on Sunday at my church that watching the national news at night was like listening to her old pastor preach many years ago.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

FAO is moving in the right direction, says Denmark
21 October 2013, Copenhagen, Denmark – The Government of Denmark voiced its appreciation for the transformation that FAO is undergoing to increase the effectiveness of its work to eliminate hunger, saying the organization is "moving in the right direction."
"We appreciate the progress being made and the vision for the Organization," the Minister for Development Cooperation of Denmark, Christian Friis Bach, told FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.
"This paves the way for stronger engagement and partnership," Minister Friis Bach added.
Graziano da Silva met with Friis Bach and other Danish ministers while in Copenhagen to attend the Global Green Growth Forum (3GF). Graziano da Silva spoke about the importance of reducing food loss and waste.
"FAO estimates that each year, one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted - around 1.3 billion tons. This costs around $750 billion annually. If we reduce food loss and waste to zero, it would give us additional food to feed 2 billion people," said Graziano da Silva.
During the meeting, the Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, Karen Angelo Hækkerup, thanked FAO for its work to increase awareness and reduction of food waste.
"The Danish Government recognizes the effort FAO is making to find solutions to food loss and food waste and increase efficiency in agriculture," said Minister Karen Angelo Hækkerup.
FAO works on numerous initiatives to reduce the loss and waste of food. It launched the SAVE FOOD global initiative together with the United Nations Environment Programme and Messe Dusseldorf to reduce food loss and waste along the entire chain of food production and consumption, and collaborates with UNEP, WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) and other partners in the Think.Eat.Save. campaign designed to target and change wasteful practices.
Post 2015: energy, food and water
Graziano da Silva also met Denmark's Minister for the Environment,
Ida Margrete Meier Auken. Auken noted that energy, food and water were key elements for sustainable development and central to the post-2015 agenda.
Graziano da Silva said that water was essential for food security and nutrition, adding that agriculture was the greatest user of freshwater resources. Improving irrigation, using drought-resistant seed varieties, and reducing food loss and waste would contribute to the more sustainable use of water, he said.
Denmark is one of FAO's partners in ongoing efforts to build resilience in Somalia. It has contributed some $10 million to efforts to support poor pastoralists and agricultural families.
Graziano da Silva said FAO welcomed Denmark's support: "We cannot stop droughts from happening, but we can prevent it from becoming a famine," he said.
Recalling a recent visit to Somalia, Minister Friis Bach congratulated the Director-General for FAO's work in the field.

A recent arbitration ruling has reaffirmed Manhattan Toy's licensing rights to Automoblox, LLC. Manhattan Toy has been the exclusive licensee and distributor for the Automoblox line of modular wooden vehicles in Europe since January 2008 and worldwide since January 2009.
In late 2010, Automoblox, LLC disputed Manhattan Toy's rights under the agreement. An arbitrator has recently settled the dispute in Manhattan Toy's favor, ruling that the license agreement between the companies is still effective, and that Manhattan Toy continues to have the exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute the line worldwide.

You're right, I never think of okra...but I'm glad you did. We go to a Japanese grill here in LA that skewers okra, wraps in transluscent slices of pork and grills. So good!

See, I didn't know anything about okra, certainly not about it's healthfulness. I've never actually tried it, it intimidates me for some odd reason, but your curry looks nice and approacheable, maybe I'll tri it now :)

You have a lovely blog. It's my first time here and I love your photos. I make a similar kind of okra but instead of coconut milk I add desiccated coconut and onion seeds, it is more of a side dish then a curry.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The tribunal established to prosecute those most responsible for atrocities committed during Sierra Leone's 10-year civil war will soon deliver its final judgment and become the first international criminal tribunal to go out of business.
The court's president, Justice Shireen Avis Fisher, told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday that because of its vision the tribunal not only succeeded in prosecuting and convicting the worst perpetrators of killings, systematic mutilation and other atrocities in Sierra Leone but it has become a model for bringing justice.
The court was unique when it was established in 2002. Unlike the war crimes tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda, which are entirely run by the United Nations with an international staff, it was set up jointly by the U.N. and the Sierra Leone government with a mix of local and international prosecutors and judges.
The council, in a presidential statement, commended the Special Court for Sierra Leone for its important contribution to international criminal justice, ending impunity, and strengthening stability in Sierra Leone and the neighboring West African region.
Guatemala's U.N. Ambassador Gert Rosenthal, the council president who read the statement, said later that members "were very pleased for once to get good news" about the outcome of a council resolution and gave probably "the broadest support" to a tribunal in many years — "and rightly so."
"It happened in a joint effort between the host government and the United Nations in what really turned out to be a very successful lesson in combating impunity and in the development of international humanitarian law," Rosenthal said.
Fisher said the court is also the first hybrid tribunal created to assist a country that wanted post-conflict justice but didn't have the ability to ensure it, and the first U.N.-sponsored tribunal to carry out its work in a country where international humanitarian laws had been seriously violated which ensured that survivors of the civil war could participate in justice and not merely be bystanders.
She said the best evidence of the court's success can be seen in a European Union-funded independent survey in late May to measure the impact of the court. It found that nearly 80 percent of those surveyed in Sierra Leone and Liberia believe the tribunal accomplished its mandate — and that 91 percent of those surveyed in Sierra Leone and 78 percent in Liberia believe it has contributed to bringing peace to their countries, she said.
Fisher cited "truly remarkable" legal firsts for the tribunal: It was the first to recognize forced marriage as a crime against humanity and sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It was also the first to develop law on the recruitment and use of child soldiers which was used later by the International Criminal Court, and the first to rule on issues of immunity for sitting heads of state and on the crime of attacks on peacekeepers.
"On front after front, the Special Court has developed not only jurisprudence, but also tools, practices and programs addressing the specific needs of a post-conflict society," Fisher said, and it is ready to share the knowledge and expertise it has gained.
When the court was established, it was expected to operate for three years on voluntary contributions. All cases were completed by October 2009 — with eight convictions — except for prosecution of former Liberian president Charles Taylor.
The 64-year-old ex-leader, who didn't surrender until 2006, has been convicted and sentenced to 50 years imprisonment for war crimes and crimes against humanity for aiding and abetting murderous rebels during Sierra Leone's civil war.
Taylor became the first former head of state since World War II to be convicted by an international war crimes court. But he has appealed the convictions, calling them a miscarriage of justice, and prosecutors have appealed the court's decision to acquit him on more serious charges and are urging an increased sentence of 80 years behind bars.
Fisher told the council the appeals court will deliver the final judgment on Taylor's guilt or innocence soon.
The court's prosecutor, Brenda Hollis, said that while the court has set many precedents, it also faced many challenges over the past decade including ensuring the security of more than 300 prosecution witnesses before, during and after their trials. She noted that this year the court has convicted five people of contempt for interfering with witnesses.
Fisher said the tribunal will be succeeded by a small Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone whose responsibilities will include ensuring the protection of witnesses, preserving the court's archives and supervising the enforcement of sentences.
Fisher and Hollis said it's imperative that the Residual Special Court is adequately funded.
The Security Council urged donors to contribute generously to the tribunal as it finishes its work and to the Residual Special Court.

text: Student Profiles Jeffrey Larivee, Jr. Jeffrey Larivee, Jr. Why did you come to Bowdoin College? I first became interested in Bowdoin my sophomore year of high school when several of my older friends were discussing colleges and one of my good friends decided to attend Bowdoin the next fall. A year later, I visited the campus and immediately realized that this was where I belonged. I toured the campus, met with a senior interviewer, and began filling out the early decision application on the drive home. I returned to high school for my senior year and collected all of the necessary application materials and sent them off to the Admissions office by early October. From there, it was a waiting game. I received an acceptance letter in the mail in mid-December and my college search was over; I was accepted to my top choice school – the only school I had applied to up until that point. It was quite the early Christmas present. What are were some of the things you considered when deciding on a major in government? My passion for American Politics was instilled in me by my grandmother – a staunch Democrat and an ardent politico – and I have actively pursued my interest in the field from an early age. I became active in Democratic politics in early 1992 when I began following the Presidential election and writing letters to then-Arkansas Governor and Candidate Bill Clinton. After his election in November, President-elect Clinton invited me to his inauguration and the events in Washington, D.C. surrounding the historic occasion. From that moment, I knew what education and career path I wanted to follow. After looking over Bowdoin's offerings, it was clear that the Government major was the best fit my interests and goals, and I've never looked back. What is the best class you have ever taken at Bowdoin? There are two courses that I particularly enjoyed at Bowdoin – Professor Nancy Jennings' Contemporary American Education and Professor Janet Martin's Presidential-Congressional Relations. Both are truly amazing educators and their passion for teaching and their fields shines through their work both in and out of the classroom. Professor Jennings' course is an introductory class that examines current educational issues and the role schools play in society. Until Bowdoin, I had attended only parochial schools, so it was great for me to explore the public educational system and learn about public school reform movements and funding. Jennings provides amazing first-hand accounts from her own teaching career and studies and truly captivates her audience. Professor Martin's course was my senior seminar for the Government major. I took her class after returning from the Washington Semester Program in Washington, D.C. and interning on Capitol Hill in Massachusetts Senator John Kerry's office. In class, we studied the relationship between the executive and legislative branches, which afforded me the unique opportunity to study and reflect on all that I had previously experienced in Washington. Professor Martin has incredible Hill experience to draw from, so she is able to color class lectures with personal stories. Both courses – and professors – are highly recommended. What extracurricular activities have you participated in? I've been involved with several extracurricular activities since first coming to Bowdoin. I ran on the Men's Indoor and Outdoor Track Team for my freshman, sophomore, and junior years. My specialized events were the 55m high hurdles during the indoor season and the 400m intermediate hurdles during outdoor. I also served as a member of the Residential Life Staff for two years. Have you done any independent studies or are you currently doing an Honor's Project? I am currently completing an independent study project examining the Democratic Party and Southern Politics with Professor Janet Martin. My study focuses on political trends in Southern states and the recent Democratic strategy for election success in the South. My research attempts to explain the decline of the Democratic Party in the South, examine state-wide Democratic successes, and develop a Southern strategy for Democrats in future elections. While I was in Washington, D.C. last fall, I was able to study Southern campaigns closely and I am using that experience as a foundation for my research Have you studied away during your time at Bowdoin? I studied at American University in Fall 2002 as part of their Washington Semester Program. I completed an intensive American Foreign Policy semester program and interned in the office of Senator John Kerry. Studying and living in Washington was essential to fully realizing my Bowdoin and college experience. I could not have imagined myself studying away anywhere else than at the foot of our government. While in Washington, I met a truly amazing group of friends from across the country who shared similar interests and goals. There were ten of us that lived together and remain close today. While away, I was also able to participate in several events such as fundraisers and rallies, and meet many political leaders. It was truly an invaluable experience What are your plans after Bowdoin? I am completing my degree at the end of this semester. While in Washington, I decided that I wanted to jump into 2004 Democratic campaigns and developed a plan to do so. I took five courses last spring and I am currently taking five this semester; I also took classes this summer while living in Boston. After the completion of the semester and my degree, I hope to work for the Democratic Party and I am currently looking into a number of options within the organization. While my long-term will certainly carry me back to Washington, D.C., I am also looking into jobs with the Democratic Party in Boston and Providence, R.I.
