Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
A water main break caused a sinkhole to open up on a street in Colorado Springs.
While police were trying to close down the road, a woman drove her truck into the 7-foot-deep sinkhole on Astrozon Boulevard.. The driver was not hurt, but did require a tow truck to get her vehicle out of the hole.
Water was initially out for about 100 homes in the area. Forty-two customers had service restored just before 7:45 Thursday night. Crews hope to have the rest restored by 8 a.m. Friday.
Astrozon Boulevard remains closed between Astrozon Circle and Nadine Drive.

On Wednesday, AB 1551 (Torres) passed out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee with a vote of 16 – 1 and was sent to the Assembly floor. The League urges city officials to send opposition letters immediately.
AB 1551 would exempt certain public safety officers from a requirement to report accidents that occur in a personal vehicle to a personal insurance provider and instead report those accidents to the employer. This bill unnecessarily shifts the liability for automobile accidents from the employee to the employer. If enacted, employers of public safety personnel will face increased liability for employees who drive their personal vehicles for work purposes which will increase employers' insurance costs.
A sample opposition letter is available on the League's website by typing "AB 1551" into the search box.

Natures zoo of elementary particles is not a random mishmash; it has striking patterns and interrelationships that can be depicted on a diagram corresponding to one of the most intricate geometric objects known to mathematicians, called E8.
Image: Illustrations by Chad Hagen
In Brief
- In 2007 physicist A. Garrett Lisi wrote the most talked about theoretical physics paper of the year. Outlets from the New Yorker to Outside magazine were drawn to the story, partly on account of his surfer lifestyle. Lisi and others have continued to develop the theory.
- Most physicists think reconciling Einstein's general theory of relativity with quantum theory will require a radical shift in our conception of reality. Lisi, in contrast, argues that the geometric framework of modern quantum physics can be extended to incorporate Einstein's theory, leading to a long-sought unification of physics.
- Even if Lisi turns out to be wrong, the E8 theory he has pioneered showcases striking patterns in particle physics that any unified theory will need to explain.
Modern physics began with a sweeping unification: in 1687 Isaac Newton showed that the existing jumble of disparate theories describing everything from planetary motion to tides to pendulums were all aspects of a universal law of gravitation. Unification has played a central role in physics ever since. In the middle of the 19th century James Clerk Maxwell found that electricity and magnetism were two facets of electromagnetism. One hundred years later electromagnetism was unified with the weak nuclear force governing radioactivity, in what physicists call the electroweak theory.
This quest for unification is driven by practical, philosophical and aesthetic considerations. When successful, merging theories clarifies our understanding of the universe and leads us to discover things we might otherwise never have suspected. Much of the activity in experimental particle physics today, at accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, involves a search for novel phenomena predicted by the unified electroweak theory. In addition to predicting new physical effects, a unified theory provides a more aesthetically satisfying picture of how our universe operates. Many physicists share an intuition that, at the deepest level, all physical phenomena match the patterns of some beautiful mathematical structure.

70 Ophiuchi
- ‹ Previous program
- 237 of 2174
- Next program ›
The summer sky features the large but inconspicuous constellation Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. It fills a large wedge of the southwestern sky at nightfall. It's tough to pick out, though, because none of its stars is all that impressive -- to look at, anyway. But one of its star systems is intriguing because conditions there could be just right for life.
It's known as 70 Ophiuchi. It's a binary system that's just 17 light-years away. Both of its stars are orange dwarfs, which means they're a little cooler and fainter than the Sun.
Their orbit around each other is stretched out by quite a bit. At their farthest, they're nearly as far apart as Pluto is from the Sun. At their closest, they're only about a third of that distance.
That means there's room for each star to have several planets with orbits similar to those of Earth and its neighboring worlds. And recent research indicates that 70 Ophiuchi is older than the Sun. That means that life has had plenty of time to establish itself.
The new research examined how the surfaces of the stars vibrate up and down. Just as earthquakes probe Earth's interior, stellar vibrations probe a star's interior. A star's interior changes as it ages, so studying these vibrations lets astronomers measure the stars' ages: about six billion years -- a billion and a half years older than our own solar system.
So who knows? Maybe when you look at Ophiuchus tonight, someone else might be looking back.

Dear people ,
First i wanted to ask you ; have anybody traveled with this company :
If somebody has or have some experience this is what happened to me.
I have booked flight 3 months ago .When i did it i have received voucher ,flight number and time when my plain is going to London and coming back.
Few days before i have received mail from them that my flight has been rescheduled.
And beside going in 15.00 pm im going 11.00 am to London and beside leaving London in 16.00pm im leaving in 8.00 am ... Which is total disaster....
Now my question is ... Should i receive new voucher , new mail where is new time of going to London and coming back from London or i can go with this to airport ?
At end you can tell me what i usually need to show as my ticket of the plain (is it voucher or something else) ?
Thanks ,

When connect to a unknown host, the HttpClient will block until timeout even by asynchronous way
My testing code as following
@Test public void testJettyHttpRequest() { org.eclipse.jetty.client.HttpClient httpClient = new org.eclipse.jetty.client.HttpClient(); httpClient.setConnectorType(org.eclipse.jetty.client.HttpClient.CONNECTOR_SELECT_CHANNEL); httpClient.setThreadPool(new QueuedThreadPool(250)); try { httpClient.start(); for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i) { MyContentExchange exchange = new MyContentExchange(); exchange.setMethod("POST"); exchange.setAddress(new Address("unknownhostandip.com", 80)); exchange.setURI(""); exchange.setTimeout(10 * 1000); httpClient.send(exchange); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } synchronized (this) { try { wait(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } class MyContentExchange extends ContentExchange { public MyContentExchange() { super(true); } @Override protected void onResponseComplete() throws IOException { Logger.println("has response"); super.onResponseComplete(); } @Override protected void onExpire() { Logger.println("timeout"); super.onExpire(); } @Override protected void onException(Throwable x) { Logger.println("exception"); super.onException(x); } }
As my experiment, if the address exists (ex: google.com), it will send 8 http request out almost at the same time. And each response will be notified when has response.
But when the address doesn't exist (ex: unknownhostandip.com), after the first http request send out, it will block until timeout, then the second http request will send, and so on.
As my opinion, since this is asynchronous http client, it should not be blocked when the target address not exist. This will cause my application to wait too long time for waiting all IPs timeout.
My application is a LAN program, it will try to find if there is a web site exist on specific IP.
When the probe begins, it will try from , for example, 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254, to test if there is any HTTP response to check if it's a website.
I think I can get all request timeout after 10 seconds (for example) at the same time.
Since the HttpClient is asynchronous, I don't know if this is a bug or something I missing?!
I found a similar bug as JETTY-990.

Recently Richard Matthew Stallman call Ubuntu as "Spyware". Click here for more information.
The program called "zeitgeist" spies. How to disable it?
Zeitgeist is also available on Ubuntu 11.10. What type of data zeitgeist sends out?
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
First of all, zeitgeist logs your activity using various sources on your computer to enable searching for recent documents, programs and activities. This is "spying" only for a very broad definition of "spying", and the data it gathers is never sent over the network. Secondly, RMS refers to the "shopping" results in the dash, which have little to do with zeitgeist. This feature has been controversial, mainly because it's on by default, and because it operates from the "home" lens instead of from a dedicated lens - so one is always sending local search queries over the network when using the dash. So if you have privacy concerns:
| |||
The component with which RMS is unhappy is the fact that the Unity dash makes requests to Amazon (via Canonical servers, AFAIK) in order to show requests. This may be a useful feature to some, but doubtless was also considered by Canonical as a revenue source, since they will get affiliate income when you buy anything through this mechanism. Use of web requests in the Unity dash can be easily disabled (although it may be reasonably asked why upon first boot you don't get a dialog box asking you if you want to turn it on, rather than it being on by default as it currently is). Zeitgeist is a daemon which records actions in a number of GNOME programs, which in theory provides more useful information in the dash in terms of recently used applications. This can result in local information leakage (don't want other computer users (using the same account) to see the pictures or video you've been viewing recently?), but it does not broadcast this information anywhere, so I think describing this as spyware is unreasonable. This can also be disabled. Whether you trust Canonical (or Amazon) with your data is up to you. | |||
Other way to disable Zeitgeist is to type "Privacy" on dash, and turn off the "log of activities" on the inferior button. | |||
Regardless of whether it's intended for local use, the info it gathers could be a high-value target. It has no utility that I can see, but would be of great use to someone implementing spyware within Ubuntu. I prefer uninstalling it over simply disabling it. You're better off without it. | |||
RMS has made several accounts against amazon, making privacy claims. Its not the matter of privacy its his biased against amazon. Other wise why would he not go against ads and search engines in general, because he commonly depends on his message getting out there even through means of ads & search engines. Yes it does take your search results much like anything does when you search, there is only a few search engines that don't sell your search results, and many claim not to but do. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/00/03/12/0917223/rms-writes-to-tim-oreilly-about-amazon | |||
I was never asked for confirmation, or even was notified, of the fact that Zeitgeist daemon will collect all my activity on the system, when I installed Ubuntu (12.04 in my case). There was also no frontend application installed on my system, so Zeitgeist daemon clearly collected that information not for my own consumption. That pretty much is the definition of spyware, so I share the concern of the question poster. "Data it gathers is never sent over the network" is only a hypothesis. There's HUGE gap between not collecting users' activity without their consent, and doing that without consent and behind their backs, and once that gap is crossed, it's only small next step to also use and forward that data without users' consent. Quoted article from Richard Stallman is the proof that every user of Zeitgeist should be well aware and concerned regarding their private data. Answering the original question posted, to remove Zeitgeist, run:

With great pace, power and intelligence, Chris Smalling remains the heir apparant to Rio Ferdinand in the role of ball-playing centre-back.
Incredibly, just 18 months after arriving at Fulham from non-league Maidstone, defender Chris Smalling agreed to terms that would make him a Manchester United player from 1 July 2010.
His first campaign at Old Trafford went better than anyone could have expected and, having been given chances to impress in various competitions, namely the UEFA Champions League and League Cup, he looked completely at home in M16.
An injury to mentor Ferdinand
ultimately proved beneficial as Smalling enjoyed an extended run in the team, contributing to his impressive tally of 33 first-team appearances. Of course, a title winners' medal was also earned during an impressive debut campaign.
The defender's impressive exploits were later rewarded with a new five-year deal, which was signed in July 2011 ahead of a promising start to his second term with the champions, which was largely spent at right-back while Rafael was sidelined through injury.
Unfortunately, Chris also spent time in the treatment room that season and missed a selection

Profile America - Sunday, November 3rd. We still use the word "dial" to refer to the act of calling someone on the phone - even though several generations have not used a rotary phone - or maybe ever seen one, except in the movies. Push-button, or touch-tone, phones made their debut this month in 1963. At the time, the service was an extra cost option and was available only in two cities in Pennsylvania. It didn't take long, however, for the speed of placing calls on the new phones to make them popular. In 1963, 81 percent of U.S. homes had telephones. That percentage grew to become almost universal, but the landline percentage is now dropping, as cell phones more and more become the phone of choice. There are more than 300 million cell phone subscribers in the U.S. You can find more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

Meades facing long spell on Oxford United's sidelines
7:04pm Thursday 10th October 2013 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Jon Meades has been ruled out until the New Year after the midfielder's ankle operation was not as simple as expected.
The former AFC Wimbledon man went under the knife on Tuesday to repair damaged ligaments, but once the injury was opened up surgeons discovered more problems.
A disappointed U's boss Chris Wilder said: "They had a look inside and there were a few complications so they had to do a bit more work than they thought was needed.
"That's going to be a big blow for Jon.
"He came in and was an exciting signing for us, but his season hasn't started and it possibly won't until well into the New Year."
It will take three months for the 21-year-old to recover from the procedure, at which stage he will only be able to begin jogging again.
The setback continues a nightmare time for Meades, who signed in the summer but suffered the injury during a pre-season game against Coventry City in July.
An operation was initially ruled out after the Welshman was sent for a scan, but the recovery was derailed when he felt pain while running earlier this month.
Meades is the only senior United player out with a long-term injury.

So do you think Michael was at the top of his game in terms of fame and popularity at the 93 Grammys!?
Michael had just had his first Major Interview to clear all those rumours and for the world to get to know the real more personal Mike.
A new album (Dangerous) just released
World tour in full swing
The Superbowl
And at the Grammys, a Legend award was given to him and with a great speech from Michael saying things like he's cleansed himself, coming back full of energy - somthing to that effect...
It was all there for him and he had the whole world in the palm of his hands!!!!! I think at that moment that night Michael Jackson was at THE top.
Shame what happend a few months later....

Vehicles sometimes resemble owners
My Paw Paw used to say that the family station wagon was a lot like Maw Maw. With no working air conditioner, he said it was just a bunch of hot air. Maw Maw never much cared for the comparison.
But Paw Paw must have been on to something. Maw Maw had a red Ford station wagon. It was a pretty tough car that could haul around a bunch of people and stuff. It was an older vehicle, but it was dependable and still had a lot of life left to her.
It was like Maw Maw in a way. She is a spitfire, red as the wagon's paint. She has spent the majority of her life hauling children and grandchildren around. Anytime she goes to town, she comes back loaded up with useless junk from every yard sale in town. And at 86, not much has changed. She's still the same, only a little slower.
Paw Paw had an old Ford truck with yellow and white paint. It was kind of rusty, but I remember its engine sounded like new. It was covered with bumper stickers from visiting Ruby Falls, staying at a Disney World resort to who to vote for on election day.
Paw Paw was like an old country truck. The truck took up most of the space in the carport, and Paw Paw sucked all the air out of any room he entered. He had a presence when he entered a place. Paw Paw was old and his body was beat from diabetes and other illnesses, but he was strong and proud. And like a bumper sticker, it didn't take long to see where Paw Paw had been and where he was going.
Momma always had cute, sporty cars. From a white convertible to a compact Honda, she liked fast and flashy. The cars always looked like a strong wind could knock them down, but they managed to keep their spot on the road.
Momma is like those compact speedsters. She is a petite, short lady who comes up to my chin. And I guess you could call her flashy with her alligator skin purses to her glittered high heels. She's a small lady who may seem meek among other people. But trust me, she can handle her own.
My husband Jason has what I call a fleet. He and his brother share a multitude of trucks, tractors and other equipment. And each piece symbolizes the different moods you are bound to find Jason in.
There is one vehicle we call "Old Blue." It's a blue Chevy Z71, tough as nails and able to get through anything with its four-wheel drive. It has its share of scratches, dents and other eyesores. The radio can only pick up a few stations because it's missing its antenna. And sometimes you have to talk to it real sweet to get it to crank.
Jason is kind of like that. I have to talk to him real sweet sometimes to get what I need done. He comes home from time to time with blood, scratches, briars and other marks on him. But its all just signs that he was working really hard on something. When music is not available, he will serenade anyone who will listen. And when times get tough, he steps up to the plate as if you just cranked up the four-wheel drive.
I'm not real sure if my Ford Explorer matches up with my personality. But I'm willing to make a little fun of myself.
All it takes is the wrong button pushed on its keychain, and it starts making all kinds of racket. It takes it a minute to get moving.
I guess I am kind of like my vehicle. When a wrong button gets pushed, Jason says I tend to make a lot of racket. And he also says I drag my feet with everything. It takes me a minute to get out the door.
Well, all that may be true. But at least my radio works.

It's amusing to reduce the development of next-generation electric- or hydrogen-powered cars to a binary paper-versus-plastic decision, but the companies making these cars and the infrastructure to support them are hoping there will be room for both. Hydrogen cars, in particular, have had a bumpy road thus far—the Obama administration has been at odds with Congress over whether to fund hydrogen fuel-cell research. Meanwhile, the first commercial models are not expected to hit the road until 2015, a few years after their hybrid and all-electric counterparts.
To help steer hydrogen back into the spotlight, carmaker Daimler, AG, teamed with the German government Wednesday at a press conference hosted in Washington, D.C., by the National Hydrogen Association* to present their case for the continued development of hydrogen fuel cell cars and the infrastructure to support them.
Public perception of late seems to be that battery-powered vehicles will be the key players in displacing gasoline-dependent internal combustion engines, "but we believe that hydrogen will also play a role, and that the two technologies are complementary," Klaus Bonhoff, managing director of Germany's National Organization Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technology (NOW), said during the event, which Daimler sponsored. The German federal government created NOW, which is largely funded by private sector businesses, to manage hydrogen and other fuel-cell technologies developed by the German National Innovation Program (NIP). "In the public discussion people tend to say that industry is not interested in hydrogen, but it's the opposite. Activities are actually increasing," Bonhoff said.
NOW sees hydrogen cars as a key element in the German government's plans to reduce the nation's carbon dioxide emissions 80 percent by 2050. One significant step along the way will be for Germans to be driving vehicles that produce no more than 60 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer by 2030, Bonhoff said, adding that hydrogen-powered cars have the potential to emit as little as 40 grams of CO2 per kilometer. He noted that even highly optimized internal combustion engines are not likely to emit less than 110 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
The hydrogen could come from a number of sources, including renewable energy such as a wind-to-hydrogen system and biofuels. "Hydrogen is a commodity in some industries," Bonhoff said. "We need to figure out how to make it available to the transportation industry."
One of the primary difficulties of introducing to the market an alternative to gas-powered cars—whether powered by a battery or fuel cell—is building up the number of new cars on the road while building out a new fueling infrastructure. Hydrogen supplies could be trucked in initially, but eventually pipelines carrying the fuel to filling stations would be required, Bonhoff said.
Perhaps the main impediment to success is breaking out of the chicken-and-egg cycle: Providers of the hydrogen infrastructure want assurances that there will be a lot of hydrogen-powered vehicles on the road, but carmakers cannot sell the cars without having the infrastructure in place. From Daimler's perspective, "the fueling infrastructure has not become real to the extent that we have wanted," Ron Grasman, Daimler's manager of fuel-cell vehicles, said at the event. Still, he added that the German government's stimulus plan is expected to fund new hydrogen filling stations to complement the four already located within the country.

"Nice, Quiet"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
My daughter and I were on a shopping trip and we enjoyed a nice quiet time in the pool . . . we had the place to ourselves, even on a Saturday night! Nice place, would stay again, and it was close to our shopping.

"Good Experience"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
The hotel was nice and easy to find. It was close to several restaurants a mall and the highway. We did have a bit of trouble with our heater but they were apologetic about it and changed us to another room. All in all it was a very positive stay. Breakfast was ok. Nothing is homemade but edible. It's nice to have lo-carb options.
"Great with two drawbacks"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
My room's plumbing was poor. The water in the tub and the sinks drained too slowly, to the point that it could be unsanitary. Also, do NOT pull into the parking lot if you're pulling a trailer. The parking lot does NOT stretch all the way around, and there isn't enough room to back out a trailer if the lot is full, which it is for the most part. I recommend parking a rig with trailer across the street at the OfficeMax parking lot, where you have plenty of room to turn around if need be.

very helpful front staff, curtious, friendly. Breakfast was wonderful and accomodating. Couldn't have asked for a better location for our activity access to and from the hotel was very accesable. The rooms were clean and quiet. We definately will stay there next year. Thank youGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"right off highway"
The hotel says it "no smoking" - the first room we were assigned reeked of smoke. Asked for another room and got one. It was okay for a place to sleep while on the road.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Super 8 Gretna"
Hotel was in great location easy to find. Close to Mahoney State Park. Rooms were nice and big, nice size beds. Pool was a little small and hot tub jet stream didn't work. Had a little bit of a mildew smell in the building. Overall very nice hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"our stay"
Poor shower spray. Glad to have waffle breakfast. Orange juice dispenser was just water. Did have apple juice. Place very difficult to find. Needs lots of updating.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Would definitely stay here again!"
Stay was great, pool was great, only issue was breakfast. We arrived at 8:30am, breakfast ends at 9, and OJ was gone, coffee was empty, and neither was replenished.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good business stop"
Older hotel with old bedspread but clean and comfortable. Two little nit picky things though. Room smelled like strong cologne until I opened the window and there was no conditionerGenuine Hotels.com guest review
was very disappopinted in the service of the hotel and also the cleanliness will not be staying in this particular hotel again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not Impressed"
The hotel and staff were decent, but the beds were hard as a rock. I ended up with a sore shoulder. The sheets also seemed they weren't as clean as they should have been.Genuine Expedia guest review
"TV lover"
I needed an inexpensive, clean place to sleep and prepare for a family get together in town. My stay was for two nights. I was back at he hotel by 9:30 each night. Not ready for sleep and wanting to enjoy some TV time before going to bed was something I was looking forward to. Television was a great disappointment. Very few channels with several being […] quite snowy. No Fox News channel, only CNN. Quite old television sets. Absolutely nothing entertaining on unless you love sports and CNN. Staff was friendly enough. Room was comfortable and clean. I would suggest they invest in newer sets and perhaps a bigger channel package. Fine place to stay if you don't need television entertainment. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hot tub was not at temperature. Had sand in bottom of it and jets hardly working. Beds were hard. People were nice and friendly. We were there for State Wrestling and didn't get back till late and pool and hot tub closed at 10pm. Needs to be open or be able to slide your card to get in no matter the time.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
it was good and it was close to what i had to do..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
My reservation was screwed up. The toilet moved every time you sat on it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Inexpensive hotel just off the interstate provided exactly what we wanted - a bed. Cheap, but functional. Don't expect it to be great, but I'll definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awful conditions would not stay again."
Indoor pool was ice cold and had not been taken care of at all. Pool area as a whole was dingy and not kept up. The TV was fuzzy and hard to see. The room was dingy. Whole experience was extremely disappointing and would definitely not stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Managemen Beware"
Room was clean. Breakfast prep was minimal and not appealing. Not even enough coffee. Looks like hotel could easily fall into disrepair unless management takes a more active role. The nearby Outlet Mall was apparently struggling and taking its toll on the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
The breakfast wasn't nearly up to par. When we got to the dining room, really the only good thing about the breakfast was the waffle maker which was broken when we got there. My kids got the last few muffins and I had toast - but that was about all they had to eat.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Our tv only had 15 channels and some of them didn't come in clear at all. We have children and sometimes that helps occupy their time. Also at pool no towels available and had to go ask for them.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not bad at all"
Ended up stuck here for a week, they were nice enough to give me a better rate for the long stay, only negative I found was the hot tub was almost as cold as the pool.Genuine Expedia guest review
"If you love indifference, this is your place"
Maids were seemingly incapable of such complicated tasks as emptying coffee pot and leaving new packages of coffee, only 3 of 5 days. Shower curtain rod loose. Bed a bit soft. Breakfast is quite minimal.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Blood sheets"
The hotel staff barely spoke any english, the sheets were dirty from day one (they had blood on them). I wrote a note to housekeeping and left it on the bed asking if they could change the sheets. They could barely speak english so I'm guessing they couldn't really read english either so as you can probably guess the sheets never got changed.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel"
Excellent hotel. Great breakfast. Only downside (not their fault) was that it was state high school basketball championships this weekend, and tons of kids were running up and down the halls being very loud till very late.Genuine Expedia guest review
Need to change out the chair that was in the room. It was old and had a bad smell.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
What a disaster! when we arrived the pool was out of order so my family and I could not swim,no notice when we booked . Way to expensive for what we got. NEVER AGAIN!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Gretna, NE"
In the morning after spending the night in the room we discovered bed bugs! It is disgusting that our belongings could be infected by staying in the room. We notified the hotel management and Hotels.com.The hotel had an odor when we first went in, like spray to cover up cigarette smoke.

The Harrison County High School tennis teams had their end-of-season awards banquet on Friday night.
Co-coaches Betsy Clyde and Phyloss Ross handed out several awards to the Fillies and Thorobreds.
The Bred Award and Fillie Award were voted on by team members and went to the boy and girl player who best exemplified qualities of leadership, sportsmanship and team play. Miranda Turk received the award for the girls while Ross Smith and Cody Landrum shared the award for the boys.
On Tuesday night at St. Henry High School's Paul Kramer Field, the Harrison County Thorobreds caught something contagious. No, it wasn't the swine flu. It was hits, hits and more hits.
The Harrison County offense erupted for nine runs on nine hits and sent 14 hitters to the plate in the first inning against Beechwood ace A.J. Smith, driving the Murray State signee from the game after only 40 pitches and after only two outs. Harrison County eventually pasted the Tigers in a five-inning affair, 14-2.
Breds Baseball Camp
Mac Whitaker's "Boys of Summer" Baseball Camp will be held in the mornings, June 8-11 at the Hilltop Baseball Field. Registration will begin on Monday at 8:30 a.m. with all subsequent camp days starting at 8:45. The camp will conclude at 11:30 a.m. For more information, or to pre-register, contact Coach Whitaker at 859-298-9654. Cost for the four-day camp is $60 per camper.
Breds Soccer Camp
The Harrison County Fillies softball team took care of business on Monday afternoon, weathered a rain delay, and defeated St. Patrick in the first round of the eight-team 10th Region Tournament at Montgomery County High School.
Harrison County got another good pitching performance, this time from Ashley Coppage, who tossed a one-hit shutout with the Fillies winning 8-0.
Coppage allowed only a second inning single to Bracken County's Morgan Wells. She retired the Polar Bears in order in five of the seven innings.
The Harrison County Thorobreds and Fillies track teams continued a trend that their coaches have seen all season… Lots of good performances, but few great performances. Neither team was able to score a point at the Class AA State Track and Field Championships at the University of Louisville on Friday.
The Thorobreds had eight athletes advance to the state meet and competed in eight events, while the Fillies had four competitors in four events.
The Harrison County Thorobreds overcame the weather and knocked off Bracken County in a rain-delayed first-round game in the 10th Region Baseball Tournament at Scott High School on Tuesday night, 8-0.
The Breds first-round game against the Polar Bears was to have been played on Monday afternoon, but was washed out, along with both lower-bracket games.
All four first-round games were scheduled for Monday, but only one was completed before the rains came and forced cancellation of the other three contests.
Clutch hitting and a strong pitching performance by Tracey Hicks paved the way for Harrison County's 4-1 victory on Tuesday night against host Nicholas County in the 38th District Softball Tournament title game.
The district championship is Harrison County's third in a row and sixth in the last nine years.
Harrison County fell behind 1-0 when Nicholas County strung together a triple and single in the top of the second inning, but wasted no time in its half of the inning to take control.
Mac Whitaker's "Boys of Summer" Baseball Camp will be held in the mornings, June 8-11 at the Hilltop Baseball Field. Registration will begin on Monday at 8:30 a.m. with all subsequent camp days starting at 8:45. The camp will conclude at 11:30 each morning. For more information, or to pre-register, contact Coach Whitaker at 234-4006. Cost for the four-day camp is $60 per camper.
Samuel Eugene Robinson, 87
Samuel Eugene Robinson, 87, died Saturday, May 9, 2009 at Frankfort Regional Medical Center. He was a retired coach, superintendent and served over 30 years as a school administrator. He served as principal of Oddville School from 1957-1958.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Lewis and Ava Belle Mefford Robinson.
The Harrison County Fillies track team had its best regional track meet showing in years last Saturday, finishing third overall in the team standings. The HCHS Thorobreds didn't fare quite as well and finished sixth, with nine schools competing in both meets.
Harrison County is competing in Class AA for the first time this year, and the drop from AAA apparently helped both teams, in regards to the numbers of athletes who qualified for this coming weekend's state meet in Louisville.

Las Vegas Airport travelers Can Now Use Wi-Fi
The administration at Las Vegas's McCarran International Airport have decided to grant its travelers free Wi-Fi service. The seventh largest destination irport in the country, McCarran will install the Wi-Fi and allow users to simply open their laptops and connect. In contrast, Raleigh-Durham International Airport has hired Cingular to install wireless, and will charge ten dollars per 24 hour period or fifty dollars per ten 24-hour connections.
This split decision by the two airports shows both sides of a national debate over wireless internet; should it be free, or should we have to pay for it? Having recently traveled through several large airports and having spent some time in layover, I wished I could log-on to the internet for a quick check of the e-mail, but the only airport offering wireless was Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, and it cost five dollars per hour.
In additions to airports, several coffee shops and restaurants now offer free wireless internet to their patrons. Recently, I visited a Taco Bell with a free wireless hotspot! Now that's technology.

By Drew Brooks Staff writer
A decorated Army doctor who served in some of the military's most elite commands was identified as the pilot killed in Sunday's plane crash in Robeson County.
Retired Col. Virgil Thomas "Tom" Deal Jr. was acting chief of surgery at the Fayetteville VA Medical Center when he died, but he was well known throughout the military, especially within the special operations and medical communities. He had served as command surgeon of Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., and was commander of Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
"He was a beloved colleague and advocate for the veteran. Our hearts are heavy with his loss," Elizabeth Goolsby, director of the Fayetteville VA Medical Center, said Monday.
Deal died when his small plane, a Piper PA-28 Cherokee, crashed in a wooded area off Parkton Tobermory Road on Sunday afternoon. He was alone in the aircraft, which departed from a Summerville, S.C., airport and was on final approach to Fayetteville Regional Airport.
Officials with the National Transportation Safety Board arrived at the crash site Monday to try to determine what caused the accident.
The plane crashed about 5 miles southwest of the airport and was destroyed by fire.
Deal was appointed at the Fayetteville VA in October. He had served in a variety of positions at Fort Bragg with the 7th Special Forces Group, Army Special Operations Command and Joint Special Operations Command.
According to an official biography, Deal has commanded hospitals in the field and in garrison, including Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis, Wash., and Walter Reed in Washington. At one point, he served on a classified special operations medical contingency force conducting worldwide missions in support of U.S. counterterrorism operations.
Those who knew Deal described him as a humble man who had found repeated success in life.
He was an Eagle Scout and graduated near the top of his class at Madison High School in Madison, Tenn., they said. In medical school, Deal was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, a medical honor society.
In 1983, following the death of his mother, Deal left the Army and founded what would become the largest surgical practice in Clarksville, Tenn.
For the next seven years, Deal would serve in the Tennessee National Guard but volunteered to return to active duty at the start of the first Gulf War, during which he earned a Bronze Star.
Deal again volunteered on Sept. 11, 2001, according to someone close to him. While in New York City for a medical seminar, Deal performed triage on a Chelsea pier.
Deal graduated from Austin Peay State University in Tennessee in 1971 with a degree in chemistry and biology. He received his medical degree from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in 1974 and completed his residency at Brooke Army Medical Center in 1981.
Deal's military education includes participation in Special Forces Officers Course, Military Free Fall School, AMEDD Officer Advances Course, Command and General Staff College, Army War College and Flight Surgeon's Course.
His awards and decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, the U.S. Surgeon General's Medal for Exemplary Service and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal.
He was a member of the Special Operations Medical Association, American College of Surgeons, Association of Military Surgeons United States and Association of the United States Army.

SWITCHING TEAMS: Top executives of magazine publishers may have been presenting a unified front at the Association of Magazine Media conference Wednesday, but that didn't stop them from poaching staff. Glamour revealed it has named Paul Ritter creative director in the ongoing shake-up at the title. Ritter, whose appointment is effective Nov. 11, joins from the Hearst Magazines-owned Elle, where he was design director. Prior to that he worked with Elle's Joe Zee at the now-defunct Vitals magazine. Ritter succeeds Geraldine Hessler, who is leaving the title after overseeing a redesign last August.

Sushi Taro
Online Reservations
Great place for lunch or special dinner. Fish is fresh, noodles with excellent broth. I always bring my out of town guests here for dinner.
My son and I both have celiac and were able to eat gluten-free at Sushi Taro. Our server was very knowledgable about the gluten-free restrictions, as was the chef. We were limited to edamame and sushi and maki (and their was gluten-free soy sauce available), but we still felt like there were enough options on the sushi menu for our dinner. Would highly recommend this restaurant for others with celiac or gluten intolerance.
Kaiseki with sake pairing was beautiful and delicious. Waitress very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. We will definitely return...
Good food. Great service. My husband and I got the sushi tasting menu. Very nice selection of delicious, fresh fish. So much food thatwe could not finish it all. Reservations are a must as the restaurant is small and quaint. We would highly recommend this restaurant.
The quality and variety of its dishes, and its high prices, really differentiates this restaurant from its competitors. The options for diners are exciting - from the house made tofu to the intriguing and unique small dishes (uni and tofu!) and mains (10 hour pork belly!) - one can be certain that you are not getting fare that can be found at every DC Japanese restaurant. Perhaps the competition from the isakayas around town has been good for Sushi Taro. It would be grand if the attentive and flexible wait staff were able to help diners choose new tastes - but Sushi Taro seems more comfortable with a knowledgeable clientele. Three different bound menus did seem a bit excessive.
Sushi Taro is always great, but I love coming here for the ramen lunch special. They only offer it intermittently so watch their Facebook page for announcements.
Sushi was more than average, not a taste to die fr
Sushi Taro is the best sushi restaurant in DC--consistent, great service and delicious
The food here is amazing. Some very interesting and authentic Japanese dishes are offered that you would not typically find at an American Sushi place. Wish the service was amazing too - but it's not. Ordering and getting our waitresses attention took more effort than it should. Amazing food makes putting up with the Denny's quality service worth it.
Awesome sushi and sashimi with a very creative flare. I'll be back anytime I want high line sushi in DC.
We live nearby but have never been there for dinner (because we thought it would be too expensive) so we figured we'd give it a try for lunch when my dauhter was in town. We had the bento box. I can't get over how the price can be so reasonable. The miso soup was perfect. I chose the fried oysters, which were crislpy on the outside and juicy in the middle. The sashimi was perfectly fresh and delicious and all that was about $15.00 each. We will definitely be back.
don't order the tasting menu unless you are an adventurous eater - too much sushi - too many strange fish..... very good but I fell into serious overload.
I havent been to sushi taro in a while and was surprised by the new interior. It looks good, very good, but I do miss the more japanese atmosphere the old layout that was more traditional japaness lent the feeling to the experience. I love Toyko and I always felt like I was back overseas when I was in Sushi Taro. Of course, what really matters is the food and the service and of course this did not disappoint, this is the best japanese in the city and the service is amazing.
there is a reason why it is so hard to get a table here, especially for restaurant week, the food is that good. must go and must go often. the best sushi in dc, hands down.
I remember the days when sushi taro was affordable for regular dining. Still, I am impressed that their food was so good for restaurant week. I will return here for a special dinner at full price.
Loved the Restaurant Week menu. Lots of different small dishes to try. I really enjoy the Japanese display of all the food. Very yummy. Would go back.
Went last week for the restaurant week special with some colleagues. While it took a little while for our food to arrive (the place was pretty packed), the meal was delicious and a pretty good value for the quantity of food on the tasting menu (shrimp and veggie tempura, 4 pcs sashimi, udon salad, 6 maki, 6 nigiri, and ice cream). Will definitely go back for a regular lunch special next time I'm craving sushi.
I don't eat here regularly, but I love their Restaurant Week package. For $20, I don't think you can get such a fantastic variety, quality and quantity of sushi anywhere. In addition to the expected sushi items, you get some things that are out of the ordinary, all with pristine freshness and quality. Each of the first 2 courses have multiple parts to them, each complementing the others. And despite this being a fixed menu during a hectic week, they have always been very flexible in accommodating my dietary needs. I explained to the waitress that I don't eat shellfish, so could they substitute for the crab, etc? Not only did she say yes, but she reminded me that we had had the same conversation a year ago - I couldn't believe she remembered
The meal was great, the fish was very fresh and very tasty. I really enjoyed the variety of items and the sushi was really some of the best sushi I've had in DC.
To me Sushi Taro is a special occasion place. We splurge on the Omakase course when there is something to celebrate. So when I saw that this restaurant is participating in the Restaurant Week the curiosity got me. It was a great 3-course lunch: an assortment of three small dishes (soba noodle, tempura and a vegetable dish), a good sushi plate (6 nigiri pieces and a roll) and an ice cream. A fairly filling lunch but not too much. Just right, both interms of quality and quantity. The only thing is that I do not like the idea of having to submit my credit card number upon reservation. This seems to be a very disrespectful business practice.
We visit at lunch in Restrantweek. The special menu for Restrantweek is very delicious and reasonable. We enjoyed Tempra, Sashimi, Soba and Sushi.
The taste of the food in the restaurant does not surrender to the local flavor, but the service is localized.
I ate at sushi taro for both lunch and dinnet for restaurant week and its food was delish. Both taste and quality of food were top notch. Probably best susho ever! Their rolls are good too.
We ordered the sushi tasting menu with the sake pairing. Not only was the food exquisite, but our server was very knowledgeable about the food as well as the sake pairing, and she was very sweet to boot. We went for our anniversary, and they gave us a lovely handwritten card as well as a free small sashimi for the next time we go. Great experience, we will definitely be back.
Our waiter Sophie was very gracious and knowledgeable. The traditional Kaiseki (sp?) menu was amazing and unique in many ways and the ambience and staff helped to make our 3rd wedding anniversary very special.
The food was perfect and the service was professional. Always a treat.
You really have to know where it is or you'll pass it by. Missing it would be a let-down for great sushi with a menu of fresh fish from Japan. Get the Omakase and Arctic Chair, so delicious.
This is a nice restaurant and we enjoyed our dinner. There were a couple things that turned me off though. First of all it is hard to find... the entrance and signage is small, blah, and inconspicuous. The menu has a lot to choose from but is lacking when it comes to figuring out what the items are. Ounce we figured out what to order I must say that we were quite pleased with the results.
Food is excellent. Restaurant is very attractive. Service is very good. In D.C. this is the only place I go for sushi.
Four of us dined here for dinner Saturday, and I had previously dined here with 3 for lunch. On both occasions the food was excellent. We are very experienced sushi/sashimi lovers and found the fish here to be exquisite - a real cut above many area sushi places. Velvety, fresh fish with unique flavor combinations -dining here is a real treat. We will return for Kaiseki!
This restaurant is terrific -- much better than it was a few years ago and even then it was good.
Most of us did the Tokujo Sashimi which is a variety of assorted sashimi of the finest cuts and quality! Very good and filling. I probable would have swapped a few things out I don't eat, forgot to ask, don't know if it's possible.
The food remains consistently good and interesting, with lots of seasonal and specialty items that you almost never see in other Japanese restaurants. The service is not quite as polished as the best non-Asian restaurants, but it's very efficient and pleasant. Sushi Taro remains one of our two favorite Japanese restaurants in DC (the other being Izakaya Seki).
We only had about an hour or so, but the food was served in a very timely manner that was very unexpected! Probably because we arrived early, but I certainly did not expect a 60 minute business lunch, so this was very positive and worthwhile experience.
I am from Tokyo and working in DC. Sometimes I miss home where is next to the fish market in Tokyo. But this place always brings me back to Tsukiji!!
The food was terrific. Service was fine, but not the most welcoming. The answer to questions about specials were ok,but not very specific. We had to ask for a couple of items twice and given the price, we seemed not as important as other customers. The food was superb and we would automatically recommend it to any high-end sushi lovers. We had a 15 year old with us and she did just fine also. If you know sake (which none of our party did), it appeared to be an extraordinary list.
While I haven't been here for dinner yet, I am a frequenter of their lunch. During the weekdays, they have an amazing lunch menu. Their fish is so fresh and buttery it's incredible. The bara chiraschi is my lunch go-to and I have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and I have no doubt their dinners would be any less spectacular.
Their selection of fish is very nice. Their yellow tuna wasn't quite as smooth as I've had at other restaurants, though, so I'd avoid it. The fatty tuna was as rich as a piece of steak - it looked amazing, but I guess I'm used to the typical serving which looks more like a cut from a fish. The taste was pretty impressive though. My wife and I ate the tastings - the classic and the sushi tasting. We have big appetites, but it was way, way too much food for two people. If you choose the tastings, just get one and share. Enjoy the sashimi. The nigri sushi was good, but the sashimi was nice and clean. The mushroom soup is great and if you get the grilled mackerel, you will enjoy it. Good place to eat, I'd definitely go again.
A very special restaurant. The food and presentation were artful. The service was amazing, quiet, unobtrusive and efficient. Cannot wait to go back.
The sushi here is some of the best I have eaten and I've eated sushi all over the world. I discovered Sushi Taro 10 years ago and make it my first stop in DC.
Finally caught the monthly Sushi Taro ramen offering. You have to go early because they'll often sell out by 12:30. Excellent broth, toppings, and noodle, for a very reasonable price of $12 per bowl.
Dinner here gets expensive, but at lunch you can enjoy a beautiful bento box for only $12.95. Staff always good. Fish is always fresh.
Sushi Taro offers several lunch specials, including a Bento box filled with a variety of tasty treats. My lunch partner and I had a booth, which was perfect for conversation. The quietly formal atmosphere was very relaxing in the middle of a busy day.
After reading the reviews we expected great food but questionable service. Couldn't have been better, exceeded our expectations both food and service. When we are back in DC we will absolutely dine at Sushi Taro again.
We normally order one of the tasting menus (kaiseki or sushi) to see what the new month will bring, and we are never disappointed. This time, we broke from pattern and ordered from the a la carte menu with home made fresh tofu, two kinds of sea urchin sashimi, wagyu carpaccio, on each of the omakase sushi and sashimi, and miso-grilled Australian wagyu on magnolia leaf. It was a great change. picking a favorite is almost as bad as picking a favorite child, but the wagyu carpaccio and the two kinds of sea urchin sashimi (esp. the California uni) stand out. The menu changes every month, and some items are subject to availability of course, but it is impossible to go wrong here.
Great lunch menu - amazing value for very high quality sushi
Great tasting food, beautiful presentation, beautiful setting, friendly staff.
I eat out fairly often and I think Sushi Taro is one of the best restaurants in DC.
Good food, good service. Really fresh, top-notch sushi.
A wonderful first experience to share with sushi novices. Delicious food with knowledgeable staff who patiently explained the ingredients to our timid tasters (who ended up loving everything).

Comments about REI Winterflyte Wind Shirt - Men's:
I wear this jacket about once a week. It's been perfect for me as I've been biking to work. It's been cold here down to -30 and I can wear this as one of several layers and it keeps me warm. Then when I get to work I can take the down jacket and and shell off and it's fancy enough for me to wear at work. Winter use has been great but I foresee it being even better in the spring and fall when I'll just wear this and a t-shirt.

My husband uses this shirt all of the time. He loves jogging in it at the beach. He has told me several times just how much he loves it. He loves how lightweight it is, comfortable and nice looking.

Comments about REI Winterflyte Wind Shirt - Men's:
Received as a gift. While I was not sure how it would stand up in cold temps with strong winds, I was very impressed. I nordic skied for three days wearing this and a wicking tee under it. That was it. Temps were around 25 with gusty winds. While I was skiing hard, I was never cold. Standing around before or after, it does not hold the heat well but doing any aerobic activity and it was great. I will be using this often as a go to layer for highly aerobic outdoor exercise when the temps are cool. It is super light and fits snuggly. A great layer to have!

Looking for a deal on an Onkyo 787 Digital Receiver
I want to pay about $647 including s/h to zip 94117
can anyone help me out?
I think they got one at the sausage factory office[just what I hear].
I think you'll have to pay more than that, probably closer to $795 especially if you want it delivered staight to your pen or office; that sucker is HEAVY. Try liquidprice.com. For California[where I assume you are] your best price price would be a bit over $795.00 is my guess.
Pretty Good reviews though
I bought this unit on the advice of a friend (don't even bother asking me his name, he BEGGED me not to tell anyone!) He had compared it to the Onkyo 989 and Denon 3801. He spent all day one day at his local stereo shop comparing the 3 models.
Unfortunately, while there, a very attractive female salesman started flirting with him big time!! She sat on his lap and said, "You are really cute. I think that cute guys should buy the Onkyo 787. Ugly guys should buy the Denon 3801. Really silly, dorky guys should buy the Onkyo 989." My friend was REALLY attracted to her. Even though his girlfriend was waiting for him at home, he just was in love with this girl. Her name is Amber. She is 5'5", 110 lbs. Long brown hair, green eyes, beautiful smile, she could melt an iceberg. Oh well, I better stop it, I'm getting all excited just thinking about her, and I have never even seen her!! By the way, I hate to change the subject, but who is going to win the Super Bowl guys? Right now, Baltimore is favored by 3 points. The Ravens defense is just devastating. Ray Lewis is a one-man wrecking crew!!
Trent Dilfer has never really impressed me in the past, but I am slowly starting to become a believer. He has only thrown 2 interceptions in 3 playoff games thus far. However, I think the Giants will win the game. My pick - Giants 16 Ravens 13 Kerry Collins will win the MVP and I will never get to meet that beautiful girl at the stereo shop because I am really shy around beautiful girls.
Oh yeah, the Onkyo 787. I popped the top off, and was really impressed. Six huge capacitors, massive aluminum heatsinks, even a built in CD player inside of it! How can you beat that! One thing to mention, however, before anyone rushes out to buy it. I spoke with the people at Onkyo. A lady there, I'll call her Janet Reno, since she begged me not to use her real name, informed me of the manufacturing details of this receiver. It is made in Malaysia in a sweatshop that was rated by Stereophile Guide to Home Theater as being one of the top 5 worst condition sweat shops in the world. The workers get paid 3 cents per hour.
If anyone ever complains they get the ultimate torture - hands tied behind their back while forced to listen to every Backstreet Boys and NSync CD ever made. The workers fear this ultimate torture so much, that many beg for cyanide rather than be faced with 5 hours of this boy band music. I decided to investigate this for myself. I flew to Malaysia and went undercover to see for myself if the conditions were really as bad as Janet Reno claimed they were. To my surprise, the workers were not Malaysian at all!
They were the cast and crew of the hit movie Shaft!! I was totally in shock!! Samuel L. Jackson noticed my incredulous look, and said "What's up? I am just doing this for a little extra money on the side." I fainted and when I woke up, I was back in Boulder, and guess who was at my side. The incredibly beautiful girl I told you about!! My buddy had gone back to the store and told her about me.
Interestingly, she has always gone for the shy, quiet type.
I cannot even tell you what a lucky man I am. We are expecting our third child in March. The only thing I don't like about her is that sometimes, when we go out to eat Mexican Food, she toots a lot!! It's gross, a real turn off.
Thanks for your time, and please buy the Onkyo 787. It is a quality receiver, I promise.

Current revision
Note: This should work on both the 5x00 and Cxx0 series Zs.
I personally have a 760 with the Cacko Qtopia 1.20 ROM and an Ambicom WL-1100C card, so these procedures may not be exactly the same for all.
Contents |
Getting the right drivers installed/working
I'm not sure if it's because I'm using the Ambicom card, but I found all of this to work best when using the orinoco drivers (as opposed to hostap). I did the following to get this working:
- su
- cd /etc/pcmcia
- mv wlan-ng.conf .wlan-ng.conf
- mv .hermes.conf hermes.conf
- /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
You may find out that you need/prefer the hostap drivers, or that you need to add your card to the correct conf file, if so refer to bad link (chanaged to different forums, so topic ID is different) for further details/assistance.
Installing the application and dependencies
- Download this wellenreiter tarball, and extract the four IPKs.
- Install the IPKs in the following order (note the dependencies):
- libpcap0 0.7.2 -> none
- libopie1 1.1.0 -> none
- libopie2 1.8.2 -> libopie1, libpcap0
- wellenreiter 126.96.36.199 -> libpcap0, libopie1, libopie2
Minor tweaks
Then you just need to make sure wellenreiter is run as root by default. You can set this by doing one of the following (depending on your skill/preferences):
- edit the following:
- /opt/!QtPalmtop/qpe.sh
- and change
- QPEUSER=root
- QPEGROUP=root
Note: if you do the above option, you'll need to reboot the Z for the changes to take affect.
or you can...
- Tap & Hold Wellenreiter icon and select "Run as root" option. Wellentreiter will complain that it's not running as root, but it still works.
or you can...
- If you don't want the whole GUI to run as root (usually a bad idea), you can run Wellenreiter from the command prompt and it stops complaining:
- $ su -
- wellenreiter
- Doing su to a clean root environment (with su -) is important, apparently the QPEUSER environment variable causes the error message.
Setting up a proper network connection
- Add a new wifi connection via the Network applet with the following settings (assumes Cxx0 model):
- Account tab
- name it whatever you want (ie. wellenreiter)
- Config tab
- deselect Non-Spec ESS-ID; "Any" (remove the tick)
type in whatever you want for an ESS-ID
Network Type = Ad-hoc
Channel = 1 (could be any)
- TCP/IP tab
- deselect Obtain TCP/IP Information Automatically (remove the tick)
IP Address: 126.96.36.199
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 126.96.36.199
Final steps
- Start the Ad-hoc network connection
- Launch wellenreiter
- On the menu, select Sniffer -> Configure
- I just tapped the "Perform Autodetection" button and it automatically found eth0 and the correct driver (orinoco in my case).
- You can configure specifics in this menu to have it do various things to your liking, or just click OK to close out of the menu.
- Start sniffing by selecing on the menu Sniffer -> Start

She's got leaving on her mind
I don't know if it's the time of year or what's going on in my life, but I've been thinking about death lately.
No, not from a gloomy, morbid perspective, but from a more practical viewpoint.
Part of the issue is the recent death of a friend. He was only 53 years old and in apparently wonderful health, so his death is being taken very hard by everyone who knew him.
