Cook a true Wisconsin fish dinner this summer
By John Motoviloff
"Trout is the perfect fish," says Dori Sorensen, director of marketing for Rushing Waters Trout Farm in Palmyra, Wisconsin. "The older generation has such fond memories of it, and younger folks are eager to try it."
Thanks to abundant natural springs—like those spilling out of the Kettle Moraine and feeding Rushing Waters' fifty-six fish-rearing ponds—Wisconsin is the ideal place to grow trout year-round. So the savory salmonoids you see for sale today were very recently swimming about. And as any cook will tell you, freshness is the name of the game when it comes to fish.
But it's more than just freshness that makes Wisconsin trout tops for the table. Trout thrive in cold-water environments. And they forage on a smorgasbord of aquatic critters. This adds up to aculinary one-two punch that's been dazzling diners for decades: firm flesh and sweet taste. Often served with their fine-spotted skin still on, trout are also beautiful on the plate, which adds another dimension. While walleye and perch are tasty, they lack trout's je ne sais quoi elegance.
For side dishes and drinks, trout seeks partners, not powerhouses. Keep it local with a well-chilled Wollersheim Prairie Fumé or an understated Capital Pilsner. Mixed drinks should be similarly subdued. Nothing says summer like an effervescent mojito and a whole butterflied grilled trout.
Because I'm a forager, I often pick wild asparagus on the way home from trout fishing. Do the same or buy a bunch at the farmers' market. Gently steamed or grilled with olive oil and lemon, asparagus is the perfect early-summer fish side. Green beans are a good second bet. Steam them, sauté them in butter with almonds or go counterpoint—an Asian treatment with soy sauce, sesame seeds, ginger and garlic.
If you've got the grill on, wrap up some new potatoes in foil. Season them with olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh herbs. Corn on the cob, grilled or steamed, is another go-to summer side. And no civilized summer soiree should go without a baguette and a stick of butter.
Dessert? Flan or fruit torte will fit the bill, as will fresh berries over local vanilla ice cream, like Sassy Cow.
Back to sweetness. Salmon and swordfish stand out for robustness; they can handle big flavors like teriyaki and garlic. White fish like perch and walleye are so delicate that one hesitates to do anything but pan-fry or broil them. Trout are somewhere in the middle—milder than salmon or swordfish, more flavorful than perch or walleye.
After twenty-five years of preparing them, I've developed two go-to recipes: a quick sear and succulent cakes.
For searing, begin with one butterflied, boneless trout per person. Find fresh trout at the farmers' market, Willy Street Co-op or Whole Foods. Blot off any moisture on the fish with a paper towel, rub with cut lemon and season.
You can go any number of ways here. Old Bay Seasoning, Szeged Fish Rub, Penzey's Fox Point or a modest-heat Cajun rub are personal favorites. Try fresh herbs with sea salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
Searing can happen in a hot, smoking skillet—open the kitchen windows and turn on the fan—or over a 450-degree outdoor grill—make sure to scrape and oil it. Cook three minutes per side, until the edges curl.
I've served trout cakes to discriminating foodies and fussy children alike. The review is always the same: "Are there any more?" Trout cakes can be adapted to whatever taste you like—dilled, downhome, Latin and so on.
Other ways to cook trout include poaching in white wine and herbs, pan frying with ham or bacon, stuffing with shrimp and baking, and grilling after a brief soak in your marinade of choice.
Whatever the cooking method, lemon enhances trout's natural sweetness. Serve a bowl of wedges, to pass, with your delicious trout dinner.
RECIPE: Trout Cakes
Three 12-inch trout, dressed (gutted)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
Old Bay seasoning
Butter for browning
For sauce: Reserved cooking liquid, 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp flour, 1 tbsp lemon juice
Simmer trout in water for 20 minutes. Remove fish from broth; cool and debone. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid. Place fish in bowl; add beaten egg, bread crumbs, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Mix everything together and form into four patties. Season patties, on both sides, with Old Bay seasoning. Brown patties on both sides in butter; keep warm. For sauce, strain 1 cup of hot cooking liquid. In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter and quickly blend in 1 tablespoon flour. Add hot cooking liquid and stir until smooth. Add lemon juice, correct seasoning with salt and pepper and serve over cakes with a side of steamed asparagus.

One quarter of a multi-media project based on the night time musings of a variety of Scottish musicians and writers, Whatever Gets You Through The Night is an album of previously unreleased tracks, uniting a variety of genres via a thematic link; the witching hours between midnight and four am. I decided to stage my own midnight-4am listen – a concept review for a concept compilation. Irritatingly (for my purposes), the album isn't four hours long, so I kicked off at half one, lying on my bed eating shortbread (the only way I could get any kind of Scottish atmosphere).
The first three tracks somewhat merged together, all twinkly, poor-man's Laura Marling acoustica. I felt soothed, yes, but less in an In Rainbows way, and more like falling asleep with QVC on in the background.
About 1.45, my interest was rekindled by Wounded Knee and Bigg Taj's contribution, a live recording which is all witchy beatboxing and looping a capella vocals. To be honest, I felt a bit unnerved, having been lulled into a false sense of security by the previous tracks, and jumped when it started. (I used to listen to Harry Potter audiobooks, fall asleep with them on, and jolt awake when the Dementors would appear and Stephen Fry's voice would turn all echoey and scary. A similar experience.) On the plus side, this is something that I would cheerfully play at another time of day and out of the Scottish/night-time context.
With compilation curator Cora Bissett, we were back to strummy acoustic stuff – but better. With Cora sounding like a female Simon Neil, 'If You Dance With The Devil' is proper singer-songwriter storytelling, carried by rhythmic strumming and picking. Reminiscent of feisty Celtic warrior-queens.
Soon after, Euguene Kelly arrived, taking another side of Scottish culture altogether as inspiration. 'Chips And Cheese' is exactly the kind of connotation that 2am holds for me. Like a long lost Belle & Sebastian track and sporting a very very strong Scottish accent, this is probably the album's representation of Glasgow; "Ah've ripped my dress and scrapped mah knee, now all ah want's some chips and cheese" – the voice of a generation. I had another shortbread in celebration.
Like an early Disney soundtrack to a scene where the kids are falling asleep after their adventures, Laura Lewis and the Teadance Orchestra's contribution is all soaring strings and backing ooh-ing. Segueing into 'Conquering Animal Sound' from Ultimate Heat Death of the Universe was rather stressful, suddenly everything was all feedback and clashing sounds. Thoroughly hipster-friendly, but totally out of kilter with the rest of the record.
At about 2.20am, Errors' minimal track 'Embassy Approach' chipped in, with a chiming, looped psychedelic riff, effects laden guitars and monastic backing chants. In terms of the rest of the project and the album, I think this was the highlight, capturing the ongoing atmosphere whilst managing to avoid being middle of the road acoustica. Mogwai influences were audible, and it's a direction that the curators would have done well to pursue further.
'Lonely Taxi, 2am', from Rachel Sermanni brought smoky vocals and slightly tense, edgy guitar; this sounds like a subdued Norah Jones singing Alex Turner observational-beauty lyrics. Along with 'Chips and Cheese', this demonstrated that the calmer acoustic tracks didn't have to be dull.
Things are brought to a close by a sleepy instrumental from Talkingmakesnosense, and then more Withered Hand with 'Saint Elmo', on which he sounds a bit like Bright Eyes. Suitably miserable and melodic, I felt melancholic and tired by this point. It was over.
But for the odd exception, this album is soothing and calming. Indeed, if you were having a more chemically-influenced midnight-4am than I was, it's the kind of thing that would make you feel as if your brain was dripping out your ears. It's mostly pleasantly lullaby-ish, and it though occasionally risks being rather middle-of-the-road, there are enough interesting tracks to carry it through. I don't recommend listening to it all in one go, but I suppose that's what compilations are for. Overall, it's a bit like those inexplicably soothing AMSR YouTube videos, weirdly calming but not something you're likely to share with your friends.

Tough enough for an impact gun, yet super light. Less than half the weight of steel lugs. This design is as light and strong a design as possible, just like the 6UL. Notice no 90 angles, chamfers and radiuses everywhere = no stress risers. Will not rust. 19mm hex is not a random size. Much stronger than 17mm and far easier to get a socket onto that 21mm lugs. If you're taking wheels on and off a lot for racing these details matter!

Ashtabula Firefighting - Images of America
Paperback written by Eric A. Johnson (2006)
Over 200 archival images with documentation on 127 pages stretching through 170 years of Ashtabula.
The story of firefighting in Ashtabula is almost as old as the community itself, beginning with the informal citizen bucket brigades of frontier necessity in the early decades of the 1800s. Between 1836 and 1911, the burgeoning Lake Erie port and manufacturing city was served by a cadre of dedicated volunteer fire companies, including the celebrated, award-winning Protection Fire Company. Ashtabula's rapid growth spurred the October 25, 1911, transformation of the city's longstanding volunteer fire corps into a paid, full-time professional fire department. With over 200 archival images drawn from the Ashtabula Fire Department, the private collections of retired city firefighters, and local newspaper and museum archives, Ashtabula Firefighting highlights 170 years of firefighting heritage.

Gallbladder cancer is cancer that begins in the gallbladder.
Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your liver. The gallbladder stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by your liver.
Gallbladder cancer is uncommon. When gallbladder cancer is discovered at its earliest stages, the chance for a cure is very good. But most gallbladder cancers are discovered at a late stage, when the prognosis is often very poor.
Gallbladder cancer is difficult to diagnose because it often causes no specific signs or symptoms. Also, the relatively hidden nature of the gallbladder makes it easier for gallbladder cancer to grow without being detected.
Gallbladder cancer signs and symptoms may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience any signs or symptoms that worry you.
It's not clear what causes gallbladder cancer.
Doctors know that gallbladder cancer forms when healthy gallbladder cells develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. These mutations cause cells to grow out of control and to continue living when other cells would normally die. The accumulating cells form a tumor that can grow beyond the gallbladder and spread to other areas of the body.
Most gallbladder cancer begins in the glandular cells that line the inner surface of the gallbladder. Gallbladder cancer that begins in this type of cell is called adenocarcinoma. This term refers to the way the cancer cells appear when examined under a microscope.
Factors that can increase the risk of gallbladder cancer include:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose gallbladder cancer include:
Once your doctor diagnoses your gallbladder cancer, he or she works to find the extent (stage) of your cancer. Your gallbladder cancer's stage helps determine your prognosis and your treatment options.
Tests and procedures used to stage gallbladder cancer include:
Exploratory surgery. Your doctor may recommend surgery to look inside your abdomen for signs that gallbladder cancer has spread.
In a procedure called laparoscopy, the surgeon makes a small incision in your abdomen and inserts a tiny camera. The camera allows the surgeon to examine organs surrounding your gallbladder for signs that the cancer has spread.
Tests to examine the bile ducts. Your doctor may recommend procedures to inject dye into the bile ducts. This is followed by an imaging test that records where the dye goes. These tests can show blockages in the bile ducts.
These tests may include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, magnetic resonance cholangiography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.
The stages of gallbladder cancer are:
What gallbladder cancer treatment options are available to you will depend on the stage of your cancer, your overall health and your preferences.
The initial goal of treatment is to remove the gallbladder cancer, but when that isn't possible, other therapies may help control the spread of the disease and keep you as comfortable as possible.
Surgery may be an option if you have an early-stage gallbladder cancer. Options include:
It's not clear whether additional treatments after successful surgery can increase the chances that your gallbladder cancer won't return. Some studies have found this to be the case, so in some instances, your doctor may recommend chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination of both after surgery.
Discuss the potential benefits and risks of additional treatment with your doctor to determine what's right for you.
Surgery can't cure gallbladder cancer that has spread to other areas of the body. Instead, doctors use treatments that may relieve signs and symptoms of cancer and make you as comfortable as possible.
Options may include:
Advanced gallbladder cancer can cause blockages in the bile ducts, causing further complications. Procedures to relieve blockages may help. For instance, surgeons can place a hollow metal tube (stent) in a duct to hold it open or surgically reroute bile ducts around the blockage (biliary bypass).
Learning you have any life-threatening illness can be devastating. And coping with a diagnosis of gallbladder cancer can be especially difficult because the disease often carries a poor prognosis. Some ideas for learning to cope with gallbladder cancer include:
Ask questions about gallbladder cancer. Write down questions you have about your cancer. Ask these questions at your next appointment. Also ask your doctor for reliable sources where you can get more information.
Knowing more about your gallbladder cancer and your treatment options may make you more comfortable when it comes to making decisions about your care.
Stay connected to friends and family. Your cancer diagnosis can be stressful for friends and family, too. Try to keep them involved in your life.
Your friends and family will likely ask if there's anything they can do to help you. Think of tasks you might like help with, such as caring for your home if you have to stay in the hospital or just being there when you want to talk.
You may find comfort in the support of a caring group of your friends and family.
Write down your medical wishes. Take steps to ensure that your wishes are known and respected.
Ask your doctor about advance directives, which allow you to indicate what types of treatment you'd want in the event you can't communicate your wishes.
Also ask about designating a medical power of attorney, which is someone you designate to make your choices for you if you can't communicate.
Start by making an appointment with your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs or symptoms that worry you.
If your doctor suspects you may have gallbladder cancer, you may be referred to a specialist, such as:
Because appointments can be short, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For gallbladder cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:

I was born in 1991. Yes, I am a child of the nineties. A millennial, a member of the internet generation, a digital native… but there's one more crucial element. I'm a part of the green generation.
What does that mean to me?
I like to say I grew up green – in a little eco bubble. When my mom was pregnant with me, she read a book called Diet for a Poisoned Planet that changed our lives (including my prenatal self). My dad went to work one day, came home, and the entire house was "organicized." Everything was replaced with a truly natural alternative from organic food to toxin-free cleaning products to glass containers and much much more. That is the world into which I was born and raised. My mom instilled in me a belief that anything can be approached from a more environmentally responsible standpoint, a thoughtful mindset. It may be a bit over-cautious at times, but that works for me; I like to live by a precautionary principle: why risk my health and well-being when I don't have to? I make a conscious effort to reduce the burden on my body wherever I can. Nowadays, it's so simple to "live green" with the plethora of fantastic green alternatives on the market (and fabulous educational resources – like this one right here!).
Growing up, my eco-lifestyle included local produce from weekly farmers markets, carpooling, glass water bottles in place of plastic (pre-metal canteen craze), organic cotton sheets and towels, no VOC paints… and from there, it took off to encompass all I come in contact with and am surrounded by. But it's not only me. It's an entire generation growing up in this time of ecoRenaissance, as I like to call it (and the name of my blog).
Ultimately, it became Teens Turning Green, the campaign I co-founded in 2005. Studies were coming out linking the toxins in the cosmetics and personal care products I used 24/7 to cancer, birth defects, reproductive harm, neurotoxicity, and more. That is nothing I wanted near my body, particularly during puberty. There are so many risk factors and potentially hazardous exposures in the world that we, as individuals, cannot control, but TTG focuses on the choices that are within personal control. When information is available and alternatives are accessible, people begin to think critically and that prompts change. So we developed those consumer-ready easy-to-use resources. Beginning with cosmetics and personal care products, we compiled lists of the most commonly found egregious chemicals to AVOID (The Dirty Thirty) and safer and healthier brands to TRY which we vetted for safety, sustainability, and efficacy (Greener Alternatives).
Now a national non-profit organization, TTG is devoted to education and advocacy around environmentally and socially responsible choices for individuals, schools, and communities. Our student-led movement seeks to promote global sustainability by identifying and eliminating toxic exposures that permeate our lives, often unknowingly, yet threaten public and environmental health. What began around my kitchen table now has a presence at numerous middle and high schools, universities, and student organizations across the country, as well as a strong virtual platform and media presence. The TG chapters lead grassroots efforts that aim to raise awareness and work to lessen local and global impact.
The lifestyle component includes cosmetics and personal care products (formulations and packaging), fashion (organic / sustainable fibers and manufacturing processes), home (building materials, energy, bedding / linens, etc.), among many other aspects of daily life. We believe that conscious consumption is critical and has the power to shift mass markets. Our work with schools uses the campus as a palette for exploration through a process of inventory, case study analysis, and identification of greener alternatives in four main categories: landscape, janitorial, food service, and classroom products. The community piece of the campaign allows for grassroots efforts and formation of coalitions around area-specific issues that threaten human and environmental health, examples of which include protesting a proposed aerial spray, pushing for a single use bag ban, water testing, mapping county-wide health trends, removing invasive species, etc.
I have witnessed firsthand the power of young people around these issues – and see a real need to focus energy around personal responsibility and individual local actions: think globally, act locally. It is vital to demonstrate how accessible sustainability is to everyone, for there are near innumerable entry points. We have experienced incredibly positive public response to simple educational resources. Any and all progress is rooted in education, particularly of youth, and communication; when information is available and alternatives are accessible, people think critically and initiate change.
Advocacy is another vital aspect of our campaign, lobbying for legislative and policy change that protects human and environmental health, as well as partnerships with companies to urge and ensure corporate responsibility. We must challenge large entities to consider not only pure formulation and full ingredient disclosure, but also responsible sourcing of ingredients, business practices that respect the earth, fair trade labor policies, human and animal rights, community empowerment projects, sustainable packaging (post-consumer waste, biocompostable, etc.), renewable energy, and incorporation of a Cradle-to-Cradle approach towards an endless cycle without waste.
All of my work furthers a (not-so-simple) personal mission: to inspire a generation of conscious citizens and bring about global health for the environment and its inhabitants.

About the Artist
Mokha Laget was born in Algeria and spent her early life in North Africa, France, and the United States.
"I manipulate spatial conventions within the confines of geometric abstraction and engage the viewer in an interactive exploration of perceptual ambiguity within the shaped canvas as object and its embedded planes.
I use a highly refined chromatic sensibility (developed in my formative years in the Mediterranean desert and later as studio assistant to Washington Color School Painter Gene Davis), to alternatively support or undermine the illusionistic spatial constructs of the painting. To that effect, I have developed a clay-based paint with a deeply flat matte and tactile surface which I layer for maximum light absorption.
I create shaped canvases to eliminate the traditional rectilinear boundary, and allow the internal dynamics of the piece to extend beyond the painting to external vanishing points.
My work expands on the WCS and Colorfield painters who avoided techniques suggesting depth, preferring planar surfaces and repetitive elements, whereas I deliberately explore perceptual mechanisms to create scale, spatial disruption and color ambiguity."

Contactor timers are devices that control the function of a contactor using some sort of timing device, whether its a simple countdown timer or a programmable clock. They come in a wide range of sizes and are designed to work with varying levels of load and current.
How do contactor timers work?
Contactor timers are connected to an electric circuit operating from a contactor. The timer may switch the contactor on or off at a pre-set time or times, cyclically or after a defined interval. Contactor timers can operate with extremely high currents for industrial applications as well as with the lower currents in simple household devices.
Applications of contactor timers
Contactor timers are commonly found domestically in washing machines or ovens. They're also used in heating and cooling systems in commercial and industrial buildings. Many lighting systems, such as street lighting, use contactor timers to turn lights either on or off at specific times. Contactor timers in security systems allow lights to come on and go off in a pattern that gives the impression that a building is attended.

I discovered that the OSA problems Blender experiences are only apparent when the (spec+ref) settings of a background object total more than 1.00.
This kind of makes sense. Since spec and ref are supposed to be the % of light reflected specularly, and diffusely, They should never total more than 1.00. (It's interesting that Blender's default material reflects 130% of the light that falls on it.)
So if the background object is reflecting more light than it recieves, it makes sense that its samples in the OSA sum are weighted too high. Setting spec=2 and ref=1 escentially turns off OSA for those edges, since the background is outweighed up to 3:1. I think just clipping the OSA contribution of any face to 1.00 will solve this. A better solution might be to apply some kind of gamma function to the contribution.
I'll look tonight to see if I can find the spot in the code to do this.
EDIT: Did it. A simple change to pixelblending.c seems to fix this. I also added a button to turn it off to test to make sure I didn't introduce any other artifacts.

Patch for OSA problems !!!

Cause it looks terrible???? You like jagged edges? Feel free to turn OSA off.z3r0_d wrote:but blender is not the real world, why should I care about inaccuracies it has?
The problem comes from the fact that internally blender was using a number greater than 1, but it can't display anything brighter than that.z3r0_d wrote: (though the blending should be bounded before the blending, if that is the problem)
so: don't change my material settings, try to fix the problem before the values are blended. (instead of as they are converted to rgb)
A color value of 1.0 converts to 0xff.
Before if a pixel was 1/2 intensity 0.8, and 1/2 intensity 1.3, the average came out to 1.05 which was clipped to 1.0. Since the face that was 1.3 is really shown as 1.0, this means the darker face's contribution was wiped out. The pixel escentially had OSA turned off and rendered with a jagged edge.
With my patch, the 0.8 contributes as normal, but the 1.3 only contributes 1.0 (because this is what it really gets displayed as). The average is 0.9 which is exactly the color you'd expect for a pixel that is 1/2 0.8 and 1/2 1.0 (as displayed).

wireless / wifi cards confirmed to work in puppy - OLD LIST
I have a netgear wg311v3 pci card and a pcmcia card of the same model and both were dirt cheap and work flawlessly in puppy and every other linux i have tried with ndiswrapper. they are far easier to set up and use in linux than in windows.
I notice a lot more interest in wifi these days, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of cards we have tried, please post with your card model and how well it works if at all, and if it works with linux drivers or ndiswrapper
the list so far is cards mentioned in many other posts, and is only the tip of the iceberg as yet. if you have one of these and want help getting it working, you will need to do a forum search for the card until I can put links to the right threads

Post subject: Netgear MA401
Subject description: Works -- But Quirky
Using v2.13 & v2.14, I've gotten the Netgear model MA401 to work only if it is plugged in *after* the notebook is rebooted. In other words, I can *not* get it working if it's plugged into a cold system. Bit if it's done the way I suggest, it automatically determines that it should use the orinoco_cs driver.
Incidentally, this card identifies itself as a "Prism I" (one).
Off topic suggestion (being a nube here I am not sure where to put this) -- Upon clicking on the "connect" icon, and viewing the "Puppy Network Setup", I suggest that the driver name be in *BOLD* -- *BOLD* -- *BOLD* on the page -- so as to *STAND OUT* from the rest of the text on that screen.
I have a number of other wifi cards, with more on the way, and I would be willing to test future versions of Puppy on them.

WiFi Intel IPW2100 (Centrino) on Dell500m Laptop
New to Linux as of today.
Installing Puppy 2.14 (SeaMonkey) on my Dell Insiron 500m (Centrino / 256Mb RAM) Laptop was only marginally more difficult than my previous reinstallation of Windows XP. Everything worked out of the box (although if anyone knows how to get better control options for a Synaptics Touchpad in Linux - let me know), except for a bit of trial and error with wireless networking.
1. Auto-detected ipw2200 (rather than ipw2100), so needed to manually select correct driver in Network Wizard. I also re-installed and "unloaded" ipw2200, although I'm not sure if that's strictly necessary. Don't forget to "save" your driver modules, or you have to go through all that every time you reboot!
2. DHCP seems to work, and the connection passes all the tests, but I was then unable to actually access the internet via my broadband gateway ADSL router. Not sure why. Haven't tried accessing files on other (Microsoft) networked computers on my home network (don't know how on Linux yet). Solved this by manually entering a Static IP for my laptop instead, together with the Gateway IP.
Not an ideal solution, but I'm now fully mobile, after just 1 day of messing around.
Hope that's useful for other Dell (and Intel wireless) users.

I have had success with the ipw2200 driver in Puppy 2.14 for both Intel 2915abg and Intel 2200bg cards. The driver only supports the 2915 in b and g modes not a. Good enough for me. Installation was straightforward without problems. javascript:emoticon('

I have a Compaq laptop with a BCM43xx built-in wifi card which works out of the box in Puppy 213. Scans for wireless perfectly, never fails me. I have used 214 and 215CERC1 without success. Yes I have followed all the suggestions about unloading the faulty driver and using my own driver with ndiswrapper. It sometimes works, but fails to remember that it DID work on reboot
I exercise my puppy VERY regularly and am sitting on 213 until the problem is resolved

Post subject: 3com AirConnect wifi card works
Subject description: pcmcia wifi card on Sceptre, v2.15
The setup script in puppy 2.15 is working nicely; this setup came right up and found my neighbor's access point.
WiFi PCMCIA card from 3Com, model AirConnect 3CRWE737A (several years old, the price was right). It loads the orinoco_cs driver. (The antenna on this card doesn't appear to be too efficient ... had to wave the machine around a bit to get enough s/n).
The setup script in Puppy 2.15CE brings it right up.
Hardware is Sceptre N20U laptop (also several years old) running Puppy off the bootable CD.

Meg is hard to shop for in the sense that, far more often than not, the minute that she decides that she wants something – be it flashcards for her licensure exam or a new pair of heels – she buys it.
There is not a person in this world who I know better than I know Meg, so shopping for her is still fairly easy. All I have to do is come up with something that she'll like and want before she knows that she likes and wants it.
On her last birthday, for example, I had a thought that went something like this: she likes soccer, she plays soccer, her soccer cleats are at least 4 years old, she likes Puma, she thoroughly enjoys bright and unexpected color combinations (especially on her shoes). And then I bought her a pair of teal and hot pink Puma cleats. And she thought they were fabulous.
My brainstorming for this Christmas went something like this: she likes sweats, she wears sweats to school, she is going into a profession in which sweats are acceptable, she likes hockey, she plays hockey, she coaches hockey. And then I went online and bought her the perfect pair of sweats from a hockey company. They cost way more than I would ever want to pay for a pair of sweats, but they were absolutely perfect for Meg. They even use skate laces as the ties. Love them.
Loved them.
Loved the idea of them, anyway, because I never received them.
Because yesterday, 10 days after placing the order, I get an email saying "oh, sorry. We're actually out of stock?"
10 days? What? It took your company 10 days to get someone to look at your inventory and determine that, actually, there aren't any mediums left.
I was so angry.
Because, at this point, Meg's lengthy Christmas list has been stripped bare and I really didn't want to go to the nearest sporting goods store and buy her a generic, lame and also somewhat overpriced pair of Under Armour sweats – which she would love, yes, but is completely lacking in originality.
And, as I have been a touch sensitive (read: batshit crazy) these last few weeks, I was a total mess. Completely without even the slightest decent idea. Too nervous to trust another online retailer. Makeup. Shoes. A fabulous dress that she doesn't need but would really like. So many possibilities and I hated every single one of them.
In order to solve the problem, I pouted the rest of the afternoon. And then I called and ranted to my mom. And then I bitched to Lucy, who I had called for an entirely different reason.
And then I sucked it up, took a risk and went to the running store. Where I found what I believe is an acceptable alternative.
Then I picked up the last of my cousin Danielle's gift, a few stocking stuffers for Mom and a package of hair ties.
And by the time I got home the world didn't seem so bad.
What holiday stress?
I even turned on the Christmas tree.

Ptarmigan Peak Climber's Log
larch32 - Jun 4, 2018 10:28 pm Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2015Flattop/ptarmigan/north/south suicide
Fun Traverse!
kunz82414 - Aug 5, 2016 9:02 pm Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2016From Rabbit Creek
Nice sunny summer evening from the Rabbit Creek approach.
guerinak - Dec 3, 2012 3:53 pmWould like to hike again!
Hiked in foggy, wet conditions. Sketchy near the top
Laron - Jun 26, 2012 12:40 pmclimbed both summits
Ptarmigan is a great, get in shape climb early in the season. You can easily climb it from the trail head and back in an evening. I've climbed the W. Ridge various time, which in my opinion is super classic. I'm also wound my way up the S. Couloir a couple times and have reached the summit block via the N. Ridge (a class4 route). The E. Peak is taller and more difficult, but can be scrambled on the south side easiest.
Oh! And I prefer to bike in via the Powerline trail, which makes a 4 hour trip to the summit and back very possible. Plus it's fun biking the downhill back towards Glen Alps.
granjero - Feb 7, 2011 7:49 pmawesome ski run
Climbed west side, skied classic S-Couloir in great conditions.
chugach mtn boy - Jun 21, 2009 2:42 am Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2009SW Ridge
With Wesley, North Carolina mountaineer extraordinaire. Stormy all around, making for some dramatic views. This was my first time on the east summit, though I'd been on the west a few times.
For east summit, also Sept. 18, 2010 and Jan. 26, 2014.
colint - Jul 3, 2006 11:55 pm Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2006north couloir
what a fun couloir that calls from most anywhere in Anchorage. Beats hoofing it up scree for a summer route.
ledavis23 - Jan 25, 2006 1:59 pmRoute Climbed: South Side Scree Date Climbed: July 2005
Fun hike- the south side is a walk-up, but it would be more fun in winter.
climberben - Dec 26, 2005 5:01 amDate Climbed: 12 March 1999
I nice ski in beautiful weather and good snow!
craigbunten - Oct 16, 2005 5:30 pmRoute Climbed: Powerline Trail to Ptarmigan pass Date Climbed: October 14, 2005
I biked from Alaska Pacific U. to South Bivouac TH, then followed Upper Gasline Trail to Prospect Heights TH, then connected with the Powerline Trail until the saddle that leads up to Ptarmigan. This took 1hour 50 min, I then ditched the bike and hoofed it up to the summit of Ptarmigan over a mixed bag of loose rock and a couple of inches of snow up high. The memorial at the top was sobering, spent five minutes on the summit, due to weather and unease at being solo, then dropped down off the summit to the pass and then my bike on Powerline Trail. The hike took 2 hours 57 min round trip. The ride back to Anchorage was world class, I felt like I was going downhill forever as I dropped down to sea level.....Roundtrip out and back under six and half hours....... I felt like I'd summited Ptarmigan in great style.... what fun is it when you drive to the trailhead?
Steve Gruhn - Jun 7, 2005 7:29 pmRoute Climbed: Via Rabbit Creek Valley Date Climbed: 1985
Climbed solo to the western summit in June 1985.
I climbed the eastern summit with Debby Hollins in August 1987 via Rabbit Creek Valley to the southeast ridge and descending to Ptarmigan Pass.
I returned to the west summit on June 13, 2005, leading a Mountaineering Club of Alaska group to the top.
I led a MCA trip with Ed Colvin to the western summit on July 6, 2006.
I led a MCA trip with Theo Hunt, John Recktenwald, and Kristyna Branum to both summits on August 9, 2007.
Clintoris - Jun 4, 2005 3:26 amRoute Climbed: Rabbit Creek to Ptarmigan Ridge to the summit Date Climbed: February 21, 2005
One of the most visible peaks from Anchorage and a 'must climb.' Beautiful views, challenges at times, just great fun overall. I'll run out there and climb it again someday.

An American Red Cross shelter that assisted 25 residents displaced by a fire that ravaged the Palos Verdes Inn in San Pedro closed Monday afternoon.
More than 50 volunteers provided shelter at the Anderson Memorial Senior Center, 828 S. Mesa St. Volunteers served 360 meals, water and more than 400 snacks to the evacuated residents.
Red Cross caseworkers worked with the evacuees to care for their immediate emergency needs and find them temporary housing.
The fire broke out at the motel at 10th and Palos Verdes streets at 3:30 a.m. Jan. 22. Authorities suspect it was intentionally set. A 69-year-old man died of burn wounds.

Task 31 - Daylighting Buildings in the 21st Century
Energy and Buildings - Special Issue on Daylighting Buildings
July 2006
Editor: Alan Meier and Branislav Todorovic
Energy and Buildings is an international journal publishing articles with explicit links to energy use in buildings. The aim is to present new research results, and new proven practice aimed at reducing energy needs of a building and improving indoor environment quality. It is published with the editorial support of the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) Topics covered include: • Energy demands and consumption in existing and future buildings • Thermal comfort and indoor air quality • Natural and mechanical ventilation • Air distribution in air conditioned buildings • Application of solar and other renewable energy sources in buildings • Energy balances in major building complexes (industrial, public and other buildings) • HVAC and refrigeration systems in residential, public and industrial buildings • Heat recovery systems in buildings • Buildings and district heating • Energy conservation in built environment • Energy efficient buildings • Building physics • Sustainable buildings and energy demands • Evaluation and control of indoor thermal and lighting systems • Intelligent buildings • Links between architectural design, mechanical and lighting systems • New materials in buildings and their impact on energy demands • External and internal design conditions for energy efficient buildings Papers with results based on simulations are welcome but those with clear links to laboratory or field measurements are preferred. These links may include calibration, benchmarking, or comparisons of results.
Daylight Control Systems Calibration & Commissioning Guide
May 2006 - PDF 0.24MB
If a lighting control system is not calibrated and commissioned correctly, it is unlikely that the design intent – occupant satisfaction and significant energy savings – will be achieved. Failure to commission control systems has been noted as one of the single greatest reasons for the failure of daylighting systems to save energy. Furthermore Lighting controls in a number of applications are not properly commissioned and many operational problems are there from start-up. The range of control systems in the marketplace and diverse range of projects means that specific advice needs to be sought from the system provider when preparing a procedure for calibration and commissioning each project. It is not intended that reliance can therefore be placed on this guide alone when formulating such a procedure.
Experimental Validation of Daylighting Simulation Methods for Complex Fenestration Systems
May 2006 - PDF 0.19MB
The objective of this paper is to assess the capability of existing lighting simulation methods to predict the performance of complex fenestration systems, which are becoming a commonly used component in buildings construction domain. A specific experimental protocol was conducted to collect reliable reference data based on illuminance measurements inside a black box with (and without) one complex glazing sample facing a measured external luminance distribution. Two types of simulation methods were tested and compared: The first is based on modeling the glazing sample in a ray-tracing simulation program and the second is based on use of the samples' BTDF data. The BTDF data sets were combined with the external luminance distribution to predict the flux distribution inside the room and the resulting illuminance values at the reference points. The comparison between the experimental reference data and the simulation results showed that the influence of the CFS could be predicted with good accuracy.
Goniophotometry and Assessment of Bidirectional Photometric Properties of Complex Fenestration Systems
March 2006 - PDF 0.69MB
This paper seeks to provide an overview of the currently available assessment tools for Bidirectional Transmission or Re°ection Distribution Functions (BTDFs, BRDFs) of complex fenestration systems (CFS). In the ¯rst part of the paper, the existing experimental devices (goniophotometers) developed speci¯cally for CFS measurement are described. All but two are based on a scanning process to investigate the emerging light flux distribution, the alternative approach being based on digital imaging techniques. A critical analysis of their advantages and shortcomings is proposed to provide both researchers interested in replicating them and more generally potential users of BTDF or BRDF data with a lucid idea of the available options.
Assessment of Daylight Quality in Simple Rooms
Impact of Three Window Configuratoins on Daylight Conditions, Phase 2
Publisher: Statens Byggeforskningsinstitut, SBi
The present report documents the results of a study on daylight conditions in simple rooms of residential buildings. The overall objective of the study was to develop a basis for a method for the assessment of daylight quality in a room with simple geometry and window configurations.
Application of the CIE Test Cases to Assess the Accuracy of Lighting Computer Programs
April 2005 - PDF 0.24MB
Editor: Fawaz Maamari
To answer to an increasing need in the lighting simulation domain, the CIE technical committee 3.33 defined recently a set of test cases to be used for assessing the accuracy of lighting computer programs. These test cases have the advantage of avoiding or reducing the uncertainties in the validation reference data by using simple analytical scenarios or by applying reliable experimental protocols. This paper presents an application example of these test cases to two existing lighting computer programs. 32 different testing scenarios were used covering different aspects of the lighting simulation domain: direct artificial lighting, direct daylighting and diffuse reflections and inter-reflections.
Daylight and Electric Lighting Control Systems Design Guide
April 2005 - PDF 0.25MB
The goal of an automatic control system for daylighting and electric lighting devices is double: 1. Optimize the user's comfort inside the room; 2. Minimize the energy used for allowing a good inside comfort. The control system must provide, even before tuning or adaptation, a good comfort to the users. This comfort is not limited to visual comfort, but also includes thermal and air quality comforts.
Modelling Indoor Illumination by Complex Fenestration Systems Based on Bidirectional Photometric Data
April 2005 - PDF 1.01MB
Significant efforts to assess the Bidirectional Transmittance distribution Functions (BTDFs) of complex fenestration systems (CFS) have been undertaken in recent years. This paper presents a methodology for including these bidirectional photometric raw data sets into the daylighting simulation and design process. The method is based on computing the luminous instensity distribution on internal façade elements from BTDF data (measured or calculated) and the outside luminance distribution on the façade elements. Special designed filters, which are necessary to pre-process the raw data, are derived. Since the BTDF raw data sets are big in volume, data compression techniques are introduced and applied. In order to account for dynamic – i.e. time variant systems – façade systems, like automated blinds, control models are being provided. The method is exemplarily incorporated into a complex fenestration system database and lighting simulation engines. The procedure is being validated. Limitations of the method are being discussed.
Key Findings from Online Survey on the use of Daylight Simulation Programs
March 2004 - PDF 0.29MB
Document Number: NRCC-46897
The research described in this paper was motivated by the authors' observation that despite the availability of simplified and detailed daylight simulation methods, none of these tools has yet penetrated the building design market to any great degree. The objective of this study therefore was to identify weaknesses of existing daylighting design software packages, better understand design practitioners' needs, and accordingly provide guidance to software developers
Lightswitch 2002
A Model for Manual and Automated Control of Electric Lighting and Blinds
A simulation algorithm is proposed that predicts the lighting energy performance of manually and automatically controlled electric lighting and blind systems in private and two-person offices. Algorithm inputs are annual profiles of user occupancy and work plane illuminances. These two inputs are combined with probabilistic switching patterns, which have been derived from field data, in order to predict the status of the electric lighting and blinds throughout the year. The model features four different user types to mimic variation in control behavior between different occupants.

Dine 909 favorite (before Dine 909 even existed…yes, their number is programmed into my cell phone) Alfredo's Pizza and Pasta is offering a very generous bargain to frugal diners.
Sunday through Thursday, buy a meal and an appetizer at regular price and get another meal of equal or lesser value for free!
Yep…buy a lunch and an appetizer and get a free lunch of equal or lesser value. Ditto for dinner.
Alfredo's has always been generous with their deals (I don't think I've ever paid full price for a pizza there), but this is the first time I've ever seen them offer any kind of bargains during their lunch hours, so you'd be wise to take advantage.
If you've never been to Alfredo's (which has been in San Bernardino for
three decades), where have you been?
The food is delicious, the service is friendly and the portions are
Favorites include the Peasant lunch (two French bread pizzas, soup or salad, glass of wine or soda), tortellini Alfredo, capellini (Angel hair pasta) with garlic and olive oil and pasta primavera (basically the same, with zucchini, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, broccoli and mushrooms, although I leave off the 'shooms and the broccoli).
With dinner, you get minestrone soup or green salad with either Italian or ranch dressing. And, of course, fresh rolls with garlic butter. Yum!
Back to the deal…the stipulations:
- Again, it's only valid Sunday through Thursday.
- It's good for dine-in only
- It's not valid on holidays
- You need a coupon, but the coupons are available at the register…ask for one when you come in
- It's not valid with any other offer
- One free meal per coupon
- It's a limited-time offer
Pretty standard stuff.
Alfredo's is at 251 W. Base Line (between Arrowhead and Mountain View avenues) in San Bernardino. They're open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. You can call them at (909) 885-0218.

Gerard Deulofeu back in the frame for Everton
Seamus Coleman also ready for return to action ahead of Sunday's trip to Spurs
Gerard Deulofeu is stretchered off during the match between Everton and Fulham on December 14th.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez hopes to have his attacking options boosted by the return of on-loan Barcelona forward Gerard Deulofeu.
The teenager has been sidelined by a hamstring injury since December 14 but is now fully recovered, although his lack of match fitness will be taken into account by Martinez ahead of Sunday's trip to fellow Champions League-chasing rivals Tottenham.
However, with leading scorer Romelu Lukaku out for at least the next month with an ankle problem having the 19-year-old Deulofeu back is a welcome boost for the Toffees
Defender Seamus Coleman, who was an unused subsitute for Saturday's win over Aston Villa after returning from injury himself, looks likely to start at White Hart Lane.
"Everyone is massively needed. We are in a situation were a couple of players will come back from injury and that puts us in a better postion than we were a couple of weeks ago," Martinez told evertontv.
"Gerard he such a positive young man and the fact he has been missed so much at Everton is a reflection of the type of person he is.
"We have the game on Sunday so we will be able to assess him as the week goes on but he is fully fit from a medical point of view. It is making sure he is match fit.
"Seamus is fully fit from a medical point of view and although he was on the bench on Saturday it was too much of a risk to bring him on.
January loan signing Lacina Traore is probably a week away from consideration after arriving from Monaco with a hamstring problem.
"We will take our time with Lacina to make sure he is fully fit," said Martinez.

Danbury, Newtown Catholic school leaders promoted
Kathleen Casey, president of Immaculate High School in Danbury, has been named assistant superintendent of schools for the Diocese of Bridgeport.
Casey joins the team of diocesan Schools Superintendent Sister Mary Grace Walsh, who leads 23 elementary and five high schools that serve 12,000 students.
"It's very exciting. I still will be connected to Immaculate, because it is hard to leave a school I have grown to love, but now I will serve all the schools in the diocese," the 51-year-old Casey said. "Throughout my career I have been involved in planning. I like to have a vision and set measurable goals and work with the team to accomplish them."
Part of her new job will be formulating a strategy for the diocese based on her discussions with the school leaders.
"It's all about the students, about how we can best educate them in the Catholic tradition," Casey said, while also having a healthy business model.
Mary Maloney, principal of St. Rose of Lima Elementary School in Newtown, will assume Casey's post July 1 as the non-academic leader at the 400-student regional parochial high school alongside Principal Joe Carmen.
"I'm very excited. It's an honor to be part of that community and I'm glad to be at the helm," said Maloney, 58. "Kathleen has certainly started a vision and I look forward to continuing it."
Four years ago Casey recruited Maloney to join the Immaculate advisory board.
"I think so highly of her," Casey said, "and I know she'll be a great fit."
Walsh sent letters Wednesday to the parents of St. Rose and Immaculate students announcing the appointments and explaining how she will conduct a search for a new principal at St. Rose.
Walsh was confident of Maloney, who's been principal of St. Rose of Lima School since 2003, and has been a frequent presenter and committee member in the diocese. Prior to serving as a principal, she taught at St. Rose as well as in Tokyo and Paris.
Walsh said Maloney's educational expertise, combined with her marketing and global background, will be a perfect fit for Immaculate.
"Mary Maloney is excellent," Walsh said. "Kathleen and I agreed."
The process of selecting the new principal for St. Rose will begin immediately, Walsh said. The opening was posted internally and she will post it publicly next week.
But she plans at the beginning of May to gather input from the pastor, parents, teachers, staff and students, about their expectations for the next leader.
"I have no one in mind," she said, "but I always want to conduct a broad-based consultation before making an appointment."
A current diocesan principal might be transferred if it's the right fit or there will be a formal search.
"These are two excellent schools," Walsh said about St. Rose and Immaculate. "They both are on an upward trajectory."
Casey was appointed by Immaculate in October 2008 to fill the position created in 2004 to have a non-academic leader of the regional high school.
She has a master's degree in business administration in marketing and planning and her past experiences include serving as the senior strategic planner for General Motors from 1988 to 1996, as director for planning and special projects at St. Thomas Aquinas School in Fairfield, and as adjunct professor at the University of Indiana.
"She's very good at strategic planning and marketing. She's a strategic thinker. She's done excellent work at Immaculate," Walsh said. "She'll bring new energy to this office."

WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court overturned a pretrial sales ban against Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's Galaxy Nexus smartphone, dealing a setback to Apple Inc in its battle against Google Inc's increasingly popular mobile software.
Apple is waging war on several fronts against Google, whose Android software powers many of Samsung's devices.
The ruling on Thursday from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is not expected to have an outsized impact on the smartphone market, as the Nexus is an aging product in Samsung's lineup. Apple's stock closed down nearly 2 percent at $628.10.
However, the court's reasoning could make it much harder for companies that sue over patents get competitors' products pulled from the market, said Colleen Chien, a professor at Santa Clara Law school in Silicon Valley.
Such sales injunctions have been a key for companies trying to increase their leverage in courtroom patent fights.
"The Federal Circuit has said, 'Wait a minute,'" Chien said.
Apple declined to comment, while Samsung did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Apple scored a sweeping legal victory over Samsung in August when a U.S. jury found Samsung had copied critical features of the hugely popular iPhone and iPad and awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages.
The Nexus phone was not included in that trial, but is part of a tandem case Apple filed against Samsung earlier this year.
District Judge Lucy Koh issued a pretrial injunction against the Nexus in June, based on an Apple patent for unified search capability. The appeals court then stayed that injunction until it could formally rule.
In its opinion on Thursday, the Federal Circuit reversed the injunction entirely, saying that Koh abused her discretion.
Apple failed to prove that consumers purchased the Samsung product because of the infringing technology, the appeals court ruled.
"It may very well be that the accused product would sell almost as well without incorporating the patented feature," the court wrote. "And in that case, even if the competitive injury that results from selling the accused device is substantial, the harm that flows from the alleged infringement (the only harm that should count) is not."
The court considered a single patent – one which allows the smartphone to search multiple data storage locations at once. For example, the smartphone could search the device's memory as well as the Internet with a single query.
The appeals court has sent the case back to Koh for reconsideration. A separate pretrial sales ban Apple had managed to win against Samsung – targeting the Galaxy Tab 10.1 – was dissolved earlier this month after Samsung won at trial on that patent.
Beyond the Nexus, Samsung also has a collection of new tablets and smartphones intended for launch before the holidays.
On Wednesday, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt called the intensifying struggle between Apple and his company a "defining fight" for the future of the mobile industry.
The case in the Federal Circuit is Apple Inc vs. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al., 12-1507.

The Spirflame® Karat 250 is a worldwide patented multi-cell flame generator producing Hydrogen and Oxygen in the absolute perfect 2:1 ratio by the electrolysis of water. Energy is taken from any 230 vac outlet. The consumption depends on the gas production rate and reaches a max of approx 1000 Watt. The flame heating is electronically selected by user and is then automatically stabilized by the electronic control itself.
The KARAT250® is used with goldsmith and dental labs for platinum, gold, silver
and other noble metal soldering tasks, be it very fine or large.
Handling is very user friendly. To make a substantial flame size change, close torch valve, change to new nozzle size, open torch valve, ignite gas and continue to work. No re-adjustments needed. Is the gas pressure once selected, despite to gas consumption variations by the torches, fully stabilized by the electronic control. The KARAT250® can therefore be installed remote from work area. To expand supply to eventual later to be added torch stations simply hook another KARAT250® to your gas lines. They will automatically and evenly distribute the load between themselves.
See more details about the gas supply networks.
Permanent sustained gas rate is 250 liter of gas per hour. One KARAT250® can feed several torches.
The automatic gas pressure control effectively suppresses heat power interferences between torches.
The Multicell Electrolyser is a worldwide Spirig patent. The multicell technology creates that high reliability and availability of the SPIRFLAME® system acclaimed by the many users worldwide.
