Francis C. Whalen
Francis C. Whalen, of Brewster, died February 11th surrounded by his loving family. He enjoyed a full and long life. He would have turned 87 next month.
Frank was born on March 28, 1926, in Caryville, Mass., the youngest of eight children. His family was exceedingly close, in part because Frank's father died two weeks before he was born. Everyone worked together to keep his family going and his stories of picking wild blueberries to contribute to the family funds were enjoyable and inspiring. Frank often said that his favorite Christmas present was the used pair of ice skates he received from his sisters when he was ten.
Frank was a natural athlete and was elected to be the captain of both his high school baseball and basketball teams in Millis, Mass. Instead of finishing high school, he enlisted in the Army in his senior year. This young soldier celebrated his 19th birthday in a foxhole on the front lines of Europe in 1944. His unit spearheaded many battles, but Frank only shared pleasant memories of his army buddies and humorous stories of their adventures. When he returned home in 1945, his mother heard him whistling as he came down the street and knew Franny was home.
Frank worked as a driver at a local lumber yard when he first returned home from the war. One day he saw the pretty secretary and whistled at her legs. Helga went home that evening and told her father that she just met the man she was going to marry. Frank and Helga were married a short time later. They were "two peas in a pod," as Helga has said, and they would have celebrated their 63rd anniversary this June.
Frank was one of the most likeable people on earth. He was charming, genuine, and always had a smile on his face. He naturally became a very successful sales representative for DuBois Chemicals, where he worked for over thirty years until his retirement.
Frank and Helga were blessed with three children that they delighted in raising. The family grew up in North Salem. Some of Frank's fondest memories revolve around his years as a little league coach. The North Salem Bears went from a last place team to the champions of the league during this time. Frank was never stern, he taught his players through his supportive, encouraging manner (and Carvel ice cream). Over the years, his players would approach him and thank him for the kind role he played in their lives and the life lessons he shared.
Frank was a member of the St. Lawrence O'Toole Church, where he taught religious education for the first communion class.
Upon retirement, Frank easily transitioned from the business world to the golf course. He played many courses, and ultimately began working at Vails Grove Golf Course in North Salem, where he made many friends. He needed an extra large golf bag to hold all the golf clubs he purchased to give him that "extra edge".
Frank Whalen never preached, never forced his ideas on anyone, and he never said "no." He would gently suggest and guide you to the proper path. He always stressed that the most important thing in life was family. He wanted the family to celebrate together, support each other and spend time together. No doubt a lesson he learned early in life and one that served him well and will be passed on to the next generation.
Frank's absence will be felt by his wife Helga; daughter, Laurie Jahnke of Round Rock, Tex.; son Stephen of Brewster; daughter Julie Troiano of Pawling; and their spouses Gary, Melissa and Bill. He will also be sadly missed by his six grandchildren and two great grand children, Leigh, Aaron, Sean, Joelle, Elyse, Luke, Nolan and Liam,; as well as numerous cherished nieces, nephews and extended family members.
Funeral services were held Saturday at St. Lawrence O'Toole in Brewster.

On paper it may seem like a 10% margin of error but it the real world it won't even be close! Compressors are almost always WAY overrated as to what they actually produce and air tools generally need a heck of a lot more air than they claim.
|When I was choosing a compressor I considered gas-powered on wheels. I liked the options of moving it out of the way when stored, taking it out back for sand blasting, and having it outside drawing clean air when painting. Didn't go that way for other reasons but portable, gas-powered has advantages if you don't use it every day.
I'm using a Campbell Hausfeld 5 "peak" hp 20 gal 110v 15amp compressor. It will run my harbor freight cutoff wheel but not continuously. IMO 110V compressors are just toys good for airing up tires and thats about it. My compressor is almost 7cfm at 90psi IIRC.
It is hard or impossible to get a good compressor on 110V. Of course this is just my opinion. They will get your job done but will take some time and will slow you down quite a bit. If you aren't ever pressed for time and are patient then i am sure it will work just fine for you.
I am putting together my own air compressor. 80 gal horizontal tank, 705 Saylor Beall pump 17.1 CFM, load genie continuous run unloader, and 11hp Honda gas engine. I am in a situation just like you. No access to 220v for a compressor. I suspect this will work for me very well.
110 volt compressor use
Ok here's the deal, I am maxed out on my panel and because of insurance I need to pull a permit and get a licensed electrician in to add a sub panel on order to use a 220 v compressor. Very expensive.
I have searched the site and see that the Ingersal Garage Mate has a rated 5.5 scfm @ 90lbs (the 20 gallon model). My cut off tool says it needs 5 scfm @ 90lbs. On paper this leaves with a 10% margin of error. I do not intend to paint or use more scfm than the cut off tool.
I am looking for input from someone who has the 20 gallon IR Garage Mate and how it has performed with their air tool use. I do not want to make this purchase based upon paper performance, but would rather hear from a user.
In addition if there is a 110 volt compressor that delivers more scfm I would love to hear about it.
Thanks in advance,

Ok so as Christmas is approaching im looking for a eee pc, or any netbook really, but ive been undecided about which one because it is mainly going to be used for backtrack. Now ive seen from some places on this site and others that it has an atheros based wifi card. But others have said its not and theres just a bunch of information floating around. I just want a solid netbook for pentesting that has good support on these forums and the eee seems to have the best support which is why im leaning towards it.
So the questions are, im looking for either a 9 or 10 eee which one(s) have atheros and the good 6 cell battery. Which if any model has that?
If not, im looking at the 901, so what would be the best atheros card to buy to stick in there and have injections in bt3?

garage build
u've got all good info here.. i'll add.. when planing mine i wanted a 24x24.. brother keep telling me do u think it's big enough.. well i ended up with a 24x40 and then i added a 10x16 attached shed to the rear to put heavy stuff in to keep out of my way. as suggested and i agree, to at least put in pvc pipe in the concrete to give access for power, water, whatever so u don't need to cut a hole in concrete after the fact... and mine is a pole barn style,
T1-11 siding and metal roof. bright red can be seen in space..
my cost total was $10,000 including concrete, and elect.
|Hopefully, this garage got built.....question was first asked in 2003.....Good info in the answers though
|A big sink also with hot & cold water. I also had the plumbers put in a faucet like on the the side of the house that's hot water only. Connect a garden hose to it for a pressure washer. An at the very least 2- 220 volt out let's or more. Now if I could get the push & riding lawn mower & shovels,rakes,hoes,picks, out could have even more room.
|Eagle Eye
|49 T&C has nailed it, especially with the... "Spend the extra $$ and seal the fresh concrete with 2-part epoxy floor paint." & the "vertical height" points.
|If and I emphasize IF you build a garage and put up a block foundation have the foundation built up AT LEAST 2-3 feet then build the 8' walls on top of that. For around $2000 or a little less you can get a decent 2 post hoist or a 4 post drive on. With the taller foundation walls and standard stick built walls you will add only a couple of hundred more for the block laying but will save that in the savings from buying longer lumber. Plus with the taller foundation you can turn loose with a hose if you have to. Put in a phone. You never know when you got to call a bud up for a helping hand. Have a phone jack around the bench somewhere if you ever want to have a laptop out there. No need to run PVC in the slab when you can run wires above. Plan on a ceiling which is absolutely necessary if you plan on doing any painting. It will keep dust from collecting on top of the rafters, plus it will keep the heat down. Have a refrigerator for the brewskies. Run cable out there so you won't miss the latest on the car shows. Fix it up so when the buds come over to shoot the **** they can sit around and feel comfortable. I put a couple of bar stools at a counter just for convenience. I also have a wall between so I can park my ride (if I ever get it completed) and the other side is strictly for working. I'll snap a couple of pics and post them to show what it looks like. It's not big enough but it was all the room I had. I built it 28'x 36' and the stalls equal out to 14' on one side and 22' wide on the other. I was practically raised in a garage so when I finally got on I wanted it nice. I just wish I added the bathroom to it like my wife suggested but it would have been a problem with where the septic was, but if you can by all means do it. Run some extra phone wire just in case you want to add an intercom system between the house and garage. Run all your lines thru some kind of pipe underground (4" PVC would be good) and leave a rope in the line if you ever want or need to pull something thru. I also added 2 ceiling fans for the summer to move some air as a garage can get awful stuffy and in the winter it will pull the heat off of the ceiling and back down to where you need it. Sorry to go on but when I talk about my garage I tend to go on. That is one thing I am proud of. Whe we built it Weimer and I had it framed up in about a day and a half. Build it like you would live in it. You will be spending quite a bit of time in there so why not have all the creature comforts. Now all I have to do is get the carpet ordered so I don't have to lay on the cold concrete.
|A few years ago,i built a 32x36 garage,built it out of slump block to match the house,I put 3 garage doors on it,I bought 2 new roll up ones for the front and a used one for the rear,I got it set up where i can open both doors and drive thru into my back yard,problem is I have to much stuff to do that any more.The garage is to small now,I think that they are never large enough,Cost about $7500,did a lot of work myself.Make your tall enought for a lift.Good luck
|I built a 24 by 36 post frame metal building last year with 16 by 8 overhead door 10 foot side walls one walk in door 2 windows and poured my floor myself ( with help from friends of course),wired it with plenty of outlets 110 and three 220, 8- 4 foot flourescent lights,bought a 30 gallon 5 HP air compressor, a used Hobart wire welder,cutoff saw,and plumbing for my air lines and insulated the whole shop for under 8,000.00.Pretty good I thought.I got the building from Menards for 2800.00 without the insulation.
More garage thoughts,
* GOOD fire extinguisher - not just the same
size as you keep in your car.
* Good First Aid kit (more than band-aids)
should include eye wash & butterfly strips
* Good stereo
* Get a big-assed squirrel cage fan from HVAC
guys, they really move a lot of air.
Available and cheap.
If you're even THINKING of a lift, PLAN now for it. You need a 6" slab under the lift. A little more forming and extra concrete will pay off BIG time when you put the lift in.
Spend the extra $$ and seal the fresh concrete with 2-part epoxy floor paint. Do it before you put anything in the garage. ( A fresh burnout is cool, but) the finished floor is money WELL spent... and it will stick to a fresh floor / it wont' stick to old grease or oil stains. It makes cleanups a breeze.
Think about a floor drain - enables you to wash down everything. Depending on zoning or restrictions in your neighborhood.
You can never have enough electrical outlets. Conduit and wire are easy to run. Many contractors will work with you - you run the conduit, pull the wire and hang the boxes (the time consuming work they don't really want to do), then they come in and hook things up to code - saves you money and meets inspections.
Gotta have a big stereo. (I find a TV a distraction to what I'm working on, but hey that's just me.) If the shop is far away from the house, get a couple of hand-held walkie talkies. You never know when you need an extra hand.
If you're lucky enough to build a big garage, set aside one area for a 'tool crib' where you can store big things (welder, cherry picker, extra engine stands & less frequently used tools) You always need them, but you know where they are.
Think vertical storage - If you have enough height, you can easily build a loft and store household crap up there without sacrificing valuable floorspace.
I'm sure you've seen enough of your buddy's shops and picked up on slick tricks/useful pieces you can encorporate in your garage. I spent a lot of time desinging & planning mine. It makes it a lot of fun to go to the shed and work on cars when the shop
|definitely listen to 49 tnc. even i screwed up and didn't put a pipe in for electrical, and i teach the stuff!! have to use a 3/4" hammer drill now to make room for 1/2" conduit. all i need are a coupla lights, its a former shed i'm selling off in a coupla months. i used 6 yards of fiber mesh mix for the "mono-pour" footings and slab at same time for a 12x22" garage. on the week ends it is $10 more per yard. it came to $580. my bud did the finish work. now i have to price a roll up door.
BEFORE the slab is laid, run lots of PVC chases under the slab. PVC is cheap and easy to run. So much easier/cheaper before the mud goes down.
Stub them up and use cap 'em off. Use them to run wire for lights, air & water after the building is up. You can never have enough lights. check with your local School board - (repository). Our local one sells off lots of great stuff. 4' or 8' flourscent lights $1 each (with bulbs). I picked up an ultrasonic cleaner (big enough for a carb or handgun) for $5. I don't think they knew what it was. I also got some lockers from a GYM. I use them for POL storage.
Locate your compressor AS FAR AWAY from the garage as you can. (noise conflicts with stereo.)
Setup motion detectors 4'-5' up the wall. A dog/cat won't set them of, but an upright(unwanted) person will set it off.
Leave the phone out of the garage, get used refrig (big-boy sodas). Get a used portable dishwasher. Use it (instead of the one in the house) to clean parts - Cheap and works great!
Hang the speakers from the ceiling, they won't take up workspace.

|I had a 30 x 40 pole barn built in 1997. It was a cashway lumber package (I believe they operate in ohio). It has two metal doors w/elec openers, 1 metal entrance door, two metal sliding windows, is vinly sided, shingled roof and all wood. The kit cost 6500.oo and another 3,000.00 to have it erected. Cement set me back about 1500.00. I wired it myself (materials about 250.00 and lights about 250.00). It is not insulated, but I can heat it up very quickly with 110000 but salamander. I think it's a good setup, but you can see what it cost and compare. Good luck
|crazy larry
Right now I have a 25x30 foot shop in the back yard. Its nice and all BUT it is not big enough.
get one bigger than you think you need cos' it ain't gonna be. and definately get the slab.
and while your at it, I would run some plumbing out there too. might as well.....
For $6200 you can put up a pretty nice stick build on a slab.
Well, I think it is a bit high, but it depends on what you want. I went with a cut, fab and weld kit. Basically just all the materials. Also, I have not seen any sheet metal warrantied for over 20 years. It is only warrantied not to fade for 20 and against catostrophic failure for less, usually around 5 years. Just some of that good ole fine print. It cost me $5000 for my 30x40x12 steel building delivered. I also did my own concrete work on the buddy system and it cost me $1500 for costruction materials and concrete.
I am however, very thrifty and found the absolute most economical way to build my dream shop. I figure I am not going to pay for any work I can do myself.
Also, I would save for a little longer and get that concrete floor. You will be much happier.
|also the best invetment I ever made is installing a single post hydraulic hoist (runs by air compresser). Bought it used from a local service station supplier for $75. They are jerking them out of the ground as they tear out old service stations and new stations use modern surface mounted or dual post hoists. Add another $75 for the hydraulic oil, $35 for a new control valve, dig an 8'deep hole and run 1/2" air line to it, descale the outside of the hoist container, POR15 and tar coat the container, install it in the hole level w/ the concrete slab, dump a couple of sacks of cement for a bottom footing, back fill the hole and finish the slab to the contianer, install a new piston seal and oil. Now you can change oil and brakes sitting in a chair!

I have been told I have a pronated foot, and have custom orthopedics fitted for the last two years. I still walk with discomfort and it feels as though I am misaligned pretty constantly, affecting my lower back and hip as well. I am in the middle of a 6 month back packing adventure and suffice it to say, I am far away from home. Still I need to get this looked at...can anyone recommend what kind of specialists I ought to see? Orthopedic? Podiatrist? X ray? I am overwhelmed and, well, bummed out. Appreciate any insight!!! Thank you all!

Discussion in 'November 2006' started by roscoe36, Nov 12, 2006.
3-5, it's coming more and more like a 5-11 start, somebody please, tell me it ain't true ! :(
We are worse than even I imagined we'd be. sad.
The wrongness of this game is mind boggling. 9 games into the season, we're 1/2 game ahead of the Knicks. The top 2 picks in one of the greatest drafts of all time are 1 and 2 in the EC, but we traded ours. Delfino has played well, yet his minutes have dropped. Murray and Hunter have played badly, yet their minutes have increased. Starters are supposed to be saved for the playoffs, but played 38+ minutes. NO was missing 2 STARTERS. 60 points in a half, I guess Murray gets to practice on his D. Close game at the end, and we send in the worst shooting PG in the history of the NBA, who immediately jacks up a 3. If Joe doesn't fire Flip soon, he might as well keep him for the whole season so we can get the best chance at Noah. But even if we drafted him, we'd probably stick him in the NBDL.
ITS TRUE! TOLD YA111 BEN BEN BEN..BEN..B-BEN..B-B-BEN BEN BEN BEN! BEN-B-BEN..BEN-B-BEN! BENNNN! B-BEN BN B-B-B-BEN B-BEN B-B-BEN B-BEN] BN B-BEN BEN B-BENNNNNNNN (sung to the tune of the EMPIRE "S MUSIC from Star Wars)
I don't know. Its almost surreal watching the past 2 games. Hate to say it but this does remind me of the way our 92/93 season started when every young guy was having their breakout games against the Pistons. No I don't think we will finish 20-62 but this team has problems. I still think we have the talent to make things happen but you are not going to win very many games playing the guys Flip was down the stretch. Especially getting killed on the offensive glass and you go small ball. At least he finally threw in the towell on Murrys night and got Hunter in there. I am starting to see how Flip lost in the 1st round for 5 years straight. The guy just does not learn from his own mistakes.
I'm almost at peace with this... it's good that the deficiencies are front and center now.
Ditto. It's like achieving a zen like state of absolute clarity from being beaten into submission.
My only question is when will the local beat writers admit there is a problem, and admit that it is more than "a lack of energy" from the starters. Starting with Nazr stinks, Murray is out of position, poor substitutions, Zero D, and just bad coaching. Doubt any of those points gets mentioned. Curious how McCoskey will be blame this on Delfino.
Its the defense yaw....They let rookies and second year men beat and out hustle both the starters and bench scrubs. In fact their scrubs outscored our bench to the tune of 33-11. Two other stats that stand out >Hornets had 19 offensive rebounds!!! Pistons missed 9 FTs without Ben Wallace in the lineup that is a stat you look at when lose a game by one point.:( Why were there so many 3 ball attempts when the Hornets two big men West and Chandler were sitting at home? Sheed wasted to much time out on the perimeter, when he could have owned those two younger guys in the paint on the offensive end.
I think our deficiencies are coach and center. :P
lol Jammer. I didn't expect this. Uggh.
They got 60 in the first half where the game was lost. We actually played some ball in the 2nd half. Trouble is we squander opportunities to take over with wild fast breaks and over-doing the three when the lead is in our hands. Sheed's shot near the end was made much harder as he too, put a little too much "show" in it. We are getting nothing much from the bench. The team has been put together on the cheap and we really do not have top notch talent or much youth on that unit. Even Maxiell was abused defensively in his short stint. And we never seem to have players playing for the right reasons as was pointed out.
The 3's were nothing new since Flip Saunders joined us. And he did not play the right subs. He should have tried playing Amir tonight. Instead he ride on the starters. Maybe he does not know what 'matchups' means. We might lose more than 40 games this season and still would not have develop the bench. And that, my fellow forumites, is SAD!!!
I see two bench-related problems. One, the current secondary players are not used in roles that play to their strengths. For example, Murray is a scorer and not a point. Hunter can only be on the floor in a defensive situation, etc. Here the issue may be coaching The second problem is that we have skimped on paying talent since the championship. I am not sure that our talent on the bench is all that outstanding. They had chances tonight and did nothing. Maxiell, Dyss, Hunter and Delfino and Flip. Here the issue may be management (dollars). We also seem to need a live, young big. Sheed is being asked to do everything down low. Joe will notice this I am sure. Finally, when are we going to get a back-up point and or some bonafide scoring off of the bench?
Why would a power forward take a 3 pointer with 20 seconds left in a tie game, when all it takes is getting fouled to win the game?
That question should be pasted on Sheed's locker when he opens it tomorrow. Joe should be asking Flip why that play was called and asking CB why he passed it to him that far out. Where was Rip and Ty during this time frame? And don't forget about the sequence in the 3rd quarter when the Pistons shot 5 threes in a row?? The first one by CB tied the game and the second one put them up by three. Then instead of going to the inside game for some potential and one situations, they jack up 3 more threes that miss and then the Hornets regain their composure and extend the lead back to five to end the qtr. They just don't play smart and Flip has no control over these guys.
LA Dre, I also saw the third quarter that way. We had them on the ropes...
LA Piston...did you go to last Fridays game at Staples? Supposedly it was Deja Vu and they looked like the 2004 playoff championship team that dominated the Lakers then too.
i'm pretty sure sheed had a brain fart and thought he could still get the 2-for-1 if he tried that shot (but guess what, 3-pointers take awhile in the air and the rebounds are long, which killed the 2-for-1 idea). secondly, we never exploited our extreme size advantage. third, it's 3 seconds left and all you need is a rebound / full timeout after a missed free throw so you can inbound at halfcourt. what does flip do? leave his short guys in, and chauncey promptly gives up the offensive rebound for the game. what the hell kind of coaching is that? we played well in the 2nd half and our starters had decent games, but why did delfino only get 9 minutes and maxiell only get 6? i'm all for playing amir johnson at this point ... he's quick enough to defend whatever guy blows past chauncey / flip. like i said in the previous game wrap-up, these kind of games need to happen. had we won, chauncey woulda been back to his 'we do what we do' speeches, etc. we gotta get our @$$ kicked a few more times to realize the playoffs aren't a guarantee this year and the team has a LOT of work to do.
Guess he did not think of it. They probably would have tried to run it up the court instead of calling a TO anyway like in the Utah game. I think we had a small lineup in that game also.

Wilton Town Hall Theatre celebrates 100 years
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | December 26. 2012 9:48PM
Owner Dennis Markaverich loves movies and has been sharing them with others since he bought the Wilton Town Hall Theatre in 1973. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
As the end of 2012 approaches, owner Dennis Markaverich is quietly celebrating the theatre's 100th anniversary by continuing to bring happiness and a sense of old-time entertainment to the big screen.
The Wilton Town Hall Theatre occupies the second and third floors of Wilton Town Hall, a space Markaverich rents from the town. He has one 312-seat theater and a smaller 68-seat theater he added in 1988.
From the heavy wood millwork to the rich velvet curtains that part to reveal the screens, the theater is a throwback to a time before multiplexes and digital equipment - a time when Markaverich himself fell in love with the movies.
"I've always loved good old movies and the grandeur of the old movie palaces," said Markaverich. "I loved watching the projectors and seeing the velvet curtains open. I used to just go by myself when I was in high school so I could see the good movies."
Markaverich's all-time favorite was "Lawrence of Arabia," but he was drawn to more than just the films. He loved the mechanics of operating the theaters, which he learned about while working at them in high school, from running the projectors to cooking popcorn.
"I think I loved the movie theater itself more than the movies," he said.
After high school he attended college and enlisted in the Air Force, serving during the Vietnam era as a radar technician. When he returned to Wilton after his service, he learned the theater that had been run in town hall since 1912 had closed. Seeing his chance to do what he loved, he bought all of the equipment, signed a lease with the town, and brought the theater back to life.
Today, the Wilton Town Hall Theatre continues to be run the way theaters were run when Markaverich was a kid. There's real butter on the popcorn and a drink costs $1. Candy can be had without taking out a second mortgage, and tickets - even to movies like "Anna Karenina" and "Lincoln" are $7 for adults and $5 for kids.
But beyond economics, Markaverich said there's just an ambiance you can feel at the Wilton Town Hall Theatre that doesn't exist at the big movie houses.
"Nobody has their cell phone going throughout the movie," he said. "People who come here actually want to watch a movie. It tends to be a very intelligent crowd of people who really love the movies."
Employees Lillie Durnan, 18, of Wilton, and Anthony Waller, 19, of New Ipswich, said the theater is just a fun place to be.
"It has a personality," said Waller. "It's more friendly than a big theater and you can bring your own pizza or whatever."
"You just always feel welcome here," said Durnan.
And Markaverich regularly pays homage to the theater's past, showing classic movies every Saturday. Admission is free to these movies though Markaverich collects donations for local charities during these showings. He also has pianist Jeff Rapsis come in once a month to play during silent films - movies that lit up the screen at the theater in its early days.

ENMU offers a variety of services to help students succeed in their academic, personal and professional lives. That's why our slogan is "Student Success-that's what it's all about!"
Over these 75 years, ENMU has built several traditions which are still important today.
Greyhound Mascot
Early on in the school's history, students rallied around the need for a mascot. There are a few stories that float around the halls as to why the Greyhound was chosen.
Ralph and Roxy
Ralphie joined the Greyhound tradition in the 1950s. A student has anonymously filled the shoes, of the costume, over the years.
Vic and Tory (Victory)
ENMU adopted two former racing Greyhounds on Dec. 1, 2009. Vic and Tory regularly attend events on campus and in the community. They are good-will ambassadors for ENMU and also for Greyhound adoption.
Green Friday
ENMU has a standing tradition of wearing green on Fridays. Students, faculty and staff all show their Greyhound Pride throughout the week and especially on Friday.
Lil' Hound Pound
ENMU Athletics sponsors the Lil' Hound Pound. Children under age eight are eligible for membership; they receive a free T-shirt, membership and entry to athletic events.
Hound Hands
Made by touching your thumb, middle and ring fingers together with your pinky and index fingers extended. This symbol shows your Greyhound spirit.
Homecoming is traditionally celebrated in October of each year. The bonfire on Friday night, the parade, luncheon and football game on Saturday are annual events which bring current and former students, the community and friends together on the ENMU campus.

Posted by Edward Ferrara on October 15, 2012
Everyone knows that in business you need to do two things: Increase top-line revenue growth and reduce bottom line cost. Doing both of these is how companies grow profitably. It really is that simple. Now why is it that Information Security Officers have trouble thinking this way? Read my new paper titled Determine The Business Value Of An Effective Security Program — Information Security Economics 101 - developed for the The S&R Practice Playbook.
In the paper, I argue that we need to associate the value of information security with the value of the information assets we protect. How is this value determined, you may ask? Well, ask away, because in the paper I outline a method to determine that value. It's simple. We live in an information economy and even though we may be a bank, manufacturer, or a retailer, at the end of the day we wouldn't be in business without information. In many ways information is what we sell.
Think about it; if we associate information security with asset value defined by the revenue these assets produce, we would understand how to prioritize security effort and we would have a lot more productive conversations at budget time.
Join in the debate, and tell me why this approach couldn't work in your firm. I want to hear from you.
I just wrote a paper on the value of information security. Please see the paper here. It is something I have thought about for a long time. Information security as a technical discipline but someone has to pay for all this fun we are having. My assumption is that as Willie Sutton is quoted as saying "Go where the money is...and go there often." Today where organized crime and nation states are going is to information. It is amazingly easy to monetize certain kinds of information. There is a buyer for everything that hackers can steal. The impact to business has been debated for some time and we go to great lengths to perform risk assessments. What we don't do such a good job of is monetizing that risk.
Consider this. If we can monetize the information asset, we should be able to monetize the risk to that asset. The key to monetizing risk is knowing the value of the asset at risk. Different systems for risk assessment have been in place for some time. They all seem to revolve around professional judgment. My argument is that using a combination of threat modeling (war planning) plus simple asset monetization will allow us to monetize risk. The results will not be perfect, but they should be directionally correct. As Doug Hubbard says it is better to be directionally correct than specifically wrong[1].

wonderful fragrance
I have been wearing Goldleaf for 3 years. Every time I am around grandchildren they tell me how "good" I smell. If I can find a fragrance the grandchildren like then it must be good. Many, many comments from other people. I always recommend Thymes.

Romantic, soft fragrance
I was introduced to Gold Leaf fragrance over 15 years ago and have been using it since. I give lotion samples to all my friends and family and have received many compliments on the fragrance when wearing it. Great Product.
Such a great fragrance
Just love Gold Leaf... Every time I wear the perfume someone always asks me what I am wearing. It's amazing and works so well with my chemistry. Stopped at a winery in upstate NY and the woman who waited on us was wondering who was wearing that fabulous perfume. I knew it was me and she had to find out where to purchase it. I told her what I had purchased and gave her a sample packet of hand cream I had in my handbag - she will now be a Thymes customer... Great products....

Loving fragrance
I absolutely love this fragrance, which is somehow warm and comforting. And it lasts! I gave my grandson a blanket he had liked and he asked his mother not to wash it because "it smells like grandma's perfume." In other words, it smelled like Goldleaf. That, to me, is a testimonial.

Samsung Galaxy Tablets
What? These tablets were just for sale as the main deal on Woot? That's weird. Why would we sell something that we JUST sold? Maybe somebody here at Woot clicked on the wrong thing, launching this sale when it actually shouldn't have been launched. Oh well. A lot of people seem to like these tablets, so here's to hoping they do well again.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hey people
Congratulations on your obtaining your licenses.
I'm an instructor at Rhema Training Center here in Lafayette, LA. Teaching OUPV, 100 & 200 ton Mate/Master.
I hold a 1600 ton Master / 2nd Mate unlimited with ARPA radar, GMDSS, STCW and A/B unlimited.
Sailed as 3rd & 2nd Mate, 1600 Ton Master and A/B & Bosun. My 1st commercial license was a 100 ton Master back in Feb. 1979 after 21 years in the Navy as a Boatswain Mate with NECs in Damage Control, Mine Sweeping and Craft Master. My 2nd license was 3rd Mate unlimited.
Have worked around the world and there are many places I haven't been to yet. Capt'd Dinner/cruise boats, a Stern wheeler, Factory Fishing vessels, and assorted Work Vessels in the Gulf of Mexico. Mate on Research vessels, Unrep Tankers and cargo ships. Also as an A/B on research vessels and as mate also.
But working as instructor right now and it is satisfying for now. But I do meet a few dunder heads. Won't go there.
But the main thing is I always worked on the sea. Always had a roof over my family's head and food on the table. And more involve in my family's life when I was home then most stay at home fathers ever were.
My age?? I am 26 years old with 4 decades of experience of being 26.
Well that is what I tell myself when I look in the mirror... refuse to acknowledge that old man that I see there.
Will roll my license again in March of 2010
One of the principle attractions to the port of Baltimore is the abundant lack of "Massholes".(g)
On a more serious note, the port of Baltimore is much more congested, as compared to Boston, with commercial ship traffic. Most shipping lines do not even call Boston any longer. Largely due to the longshoremen. (where did you think the term "Masshole" came from?)
Well, I count four exams. 3/M, 2/M, C/M, and Master. All Oceans, unlimited tonnage, steam or motor. The only one I ever had to renew is the Master's.
Captain's license
I took it at marinaschool.com office in Princton, NJ. They do hold classes in other states. They give the exams also. The instructors proctor the exams. They point out the "sandbox" questions i.e. the ansswer is not obvious but since it is their "sandbox"(USCG) then to play in it you need to know their answer. I took all the paperwork down to Baltimore & had the oath administered & fingerprinted by the 'slab' method.
After 5 weeks, 3 pieces of paper were returned for corrections(1 m mistake, 1 the nurse, 1 their oversite re. a reference letter date.), did all the corrections & then the license came several week later. Started the process in November & the license came end of May.
Also, had to send a copy of the license NOT the course completion cert(57 hrs) to NJ for their 'Boating Safety Course' cert(8 hr course with a test!.
This year NJ requires ANYONE younger than 49 who is behind the wheel to have a BSC cert otherwise $500. Next year I think 10 years older than EVERYONE after June 1, 2009.
|Thanks for the congrats Foxglove and Chrisd. Chris, yes as I understand it you will first have to get a license for inland waters, and then if you accumulate enough time to qualify for coastal or ocean you can upgrade your license. For Master 100 tons or less you need to be able to show 360 days in command of at least 4 hours each day. The next upgrade is 360/8hrs and then up to 720 etc. I think you can go all the way back to age 18 for your seatime, but have to have a certain number of hours within the last three years(I'm forgetting this stuff already!) Good luck to you, John
Captain's license
Hey, Congrats.
I'm looking at doing that myself. Thing is, I'm on an inland lake in Nashville, TN. Getting ocean time is tough. Do I have to go the route of getting my inland license first and then upgrading once I get some ocean time in... somewhere, somehow? Any suggestions would be great.
I do have my own sailboat, it's just not on the coast...
I agree that volume matters
I had about the same experience as Capng, although I used the Toledo, Ohio office. The folks there told me that every skipper who wants the license before charter fishing season begins applies at the same time in spring.
Since Lake Erie has a shorter season than Charleston, the spring log jam is probebly greater.
By the way, congrats to jrd22 who started this thread.
A happy story
I read a lot of this thread about the CG nightmares. Had to give them a plug here. I applied in Charleston. I walked in at 0730, they printed me (electronically), copied my DL and passport, administered the oath, reviwed my package and I was out the door at 0755. That was on a Thursday - my license was mailed the following Wednesday. Must have something to do with volume.
The classes teach all 1200 questions in the CG bank they draw from. Even if you know everything the questions are so screwed up its tough to pass without the class.
BTW search Al Muthana, you will find UN weapons inspector reports that will make you shudder. I returned in January from entombing tens of thousands of tons of "missing CWMs" in Iraq. Al Muthana is the biggest R&D CWM plant and storage facility in Iraq. Been there, seen em, got the weird skin condition to prove it, oh ya and the pics....
|Oh, I would NEVER think about crossing the line!

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- General Puppy Stuff (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/)
- - Ideal Routine when Raising Two Puppies (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/467562-ideal-routine-when-raising-two-puppies.html)
Ideal Routine when Raising Two Puppies
Can someone who has successfully raised TWO puppies at once provide an ideal schedule?
I have one that will be 6 months old when I have the opportunity to add another one who is 8 weeks old. I realize this will be time-consuming but do have the assistance of a trainer who my current dog goes to train & stay with in the daytime 2-3 days a week.
A possible routine might look like this in my mind:
8-9am Wake up: Take younger puppy out to potty. Take older puppy out to potty.
9-10am Feed Breakfast & Train: Take older puppy out to feed & train (I feed by the kibble for breakfast and she has to earn each kibble by performing obedience or fetch); Take younger puppy out to feed & train.
10am - 11am Crate both dogs while I eat breakfast and shower.
11am - 4pm This is normally when I take my puppy for a long walk, go to a local cafe, and work on my computer for 4-5 hours. I eat my lunch there. I also feed her by the kibble for performing obedience. My dog almost always falls asleep at the cafe under the table for at least several hours.
**I'm assuming walking both dogs, with one at 8 weeks of age, will be very difficult. Any solutions?
**I also sometimes go to the gym and leave my older puppy in the car. She always behaves well and falls asleep while I'm working out. Will leaving TWO puppies in the car be an issue?
**I'm also assuming having TWO dogs at the cafe may mean neither will sleep or behave. This would be a serious problem because I have to work somewhere for at least 4-5 hours in the daytime. Any solutions?
**4-5pm I take another long walk back home. I would presumably have to do this with two dogs. Again, may be a problem.
5pm I would feed both dogs for staying successfully in their crates
5pm - 7pm Dogs are in crate while I have dinner (or take a siesta)
7pm - Midnight: Younger puppy in ExPen. Older puppy is allowed in living room supervised. I take them out for potty breaks as needed.
Midnight: Both sleep in crate
3-4am: Younger puppy will need to be taken out for the first 3-4 weeks.
Having actually written this out, it seems that the bulk of the daytime hours when I'm walking, running errands, sitting in a cafe & working on my computer, going to the gym, etc. is going to be the biggest problem.
Should I hire someone to watch over the younger puppy during the daytime 3-4 days a week until she is older and can walk & stay together with the older puppy and I?
Or is the very act of walking together, staying together, in the day time, likely to cause "littermate syndrome"?
This was long but actually helpful for me to write out as I weigh the feasibility of adding another puppy of my dreams.
The more I think about, the more it appears that 11am to 4pm when I normally take my dog out for a walk, run errands, sit in a cafe, may have to be put on hold for at least 2 months.
This would allow me to exercise and train each dog separately at home, and work from my computer from home so that I have access to the crates and ExPen as needed.
But I'm still wondering -- after two months of this -- would a 8 month old German Shepherd and a 4 month old Golden Retriever -- be able to calmly walk together and calmly stay in the down position together at a local cafe, while I run errands, while they wait in the car, etc. -- assuming continued daily training go remain so?
Or am I still making them spend too much time together and leading to littermate syndrome and co-dependency?
You sound like a person who likes routine. Two puppies are chaos. There is no predicting or planning a routine. Its like having kids. You have to go with the flow at times.

Carly was about 7 months old when I added Sage at around 9 weeks old. I didn't want two puppies at the same time, but if I wanted a puppy out of my favorite bitch, then I had to jump on it. It was her second, and last, litter.
That said, in spite of my fears, it has worked for me, and probably because they have very distinct and different personalities. However, looking at your schedule, there is no way that the two of them could have ever been quiet under a cafe table as puppies! It has been nonstop wrestling and playing between those two for the last 4 years. Walking the two of them when they were younger, just meant that Sage was constantly dive bombing on Carly. The upside is that they burned off a ton of energy just playing with each other. I didn't ever have to deal with any of the landsharking that is common in GSD puppies, because they were always chewing on each other.
Honestly, I think if you are going to take on another puppy, you are going to have give up some of the freedom you have right now. Having two puppies isn't just double the work, it's ALOT more work. Think "partners in crime'...
Thanks for sharing that experience. It's really making me think twice about adding another puppy.
But would any of this change if I got the puppy after my current GSD turned 1 years old?
It would seem that aside from a somewhat better behaved GSD, all of the other problems would remain in terms of a crazed puppy jumping on the teenage GSD, not able to walk both of them at the same time, not being able to take them both out to a cafe for long periods of time, etc?

How long did it take you to train each dog so that they would both walk on loose leash individually, then together on loosh leash, as well as calmly down stay (and ideally sleep) when together?
I'm even willing to consider having a "dog sitter" type person (maybe a college student who has time and could use some extra cash) stay with me Monday through Friday during the daytime for the first 2-3 months to help with the 2 puppy logistics!

Hey there Zammers!
I'm progressing to the put-the-helmet together stage, and I had some questions...
Do we have any pictures of the back of Zam's head? There is a hose at the base in the back, correct?
I have the most excellent MonCal helmet kit, and I was wondering where all the little square plates go. How did people attach their earpieces?
I assume everyone is fixing the binoculars onto the helmet permenently?
Okay, and the other issue for me right now is the fit. The fiberglass gray helmet body did not even fit on my head when I first got it. We dremelled out the inside front ridge, and now I can get it on my head (barely), but it won't go down far enough.
Anyone else have theirs fit too small? Did you heat it up and bend it out? Cut it apart and reconstruct it with more width?
Thanks, crew, you're the best.

Gassho and hello everyone! I'm so happy to have come across Treeleaf Zendo
I began practicing zazen back in the 90s and also spent some time in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Then, I stopped practicing altogether for a number of years. I'm now 50, married and have a nearly 3 year old son - a bit more mature and settled.
I began sitting again about a month ago, and now sit twice a day, usually - sometimes more and sometimes only once, but I always sit. My practice is shikantaza, as it was in the 90s, even while with the Nyingmapa. Somehow, it seems better now, after all this time. Maybe I've finally dropped all expectations.
I'm a stay at home dad now, after 23 years in engineering. It's been quite an adjustment, and in no small part is what brought me back to Zen.
Jundo - it was so nice to communicate with you, and I look forward to speaking with you, cam to cam soon. Gotta go find that iSight cam still packed in a box somewhere.
It's amazing how hard it can be to find a Zen teacher. We live in a very rural area now, far from all the choices of the big city, but I even found it difficult to find a teacher when I lived close to a big city in America. The idea of an online Zendo, with a traditional student/teacher relationship and open sangha discussion is just fantastic.
I love the Blog, Jundo. Sure it would be nice to be able to physically go to a Zendo everyday, but I don't see that we're missing much here. For me anyway, this may be even better. Even if the Zendo were around the corner, I wouldn't be able to go everyday. Not with a 3 year old. But, I can "attend" here everyday. I love it, and I can't tell you how happy I am to have a teacher! I'm also looking forward to the Jukai training you mentioned in another post!
That's enough waffling out of me. Just wanted to say hi.

But, as much as I like the reminder messages, I find the default reminder of 15 minutes before the appointment isn't really as much time as I'd like. What if you have some materials to gather? Is 15 minutes really going to give you enough time?
As a result, I'm constantly changing that reminder time to something longer. Let's say, an hour maybe?
Whatever your preference, if you're always changing that reminder time, I'd bet you've wished at least once that you could change the default to something more useful to you. Maybe 30 minutes, an hour or maybe even a day. Whatever you choose, it would certainly save the hassle of changing the time for almost all your appointments.
If that's something you'd like to control, here's the "how to" to make those appointment reminders just a bit more useful.
In MS Outlook, go to the Tools menu, Options choice.
On the Preferences tab, look for the Calendar section.
It's right here that you should see the "Default reminder" field. Either select a time from the drop down list or type in your own.
Click the OK button.
That's it! Next time you enter a new appointment into your calendar, you should find that the suggested reminder time has changed to what you've set. Hopefully that's most useful to you!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Here is an update guys I just got back from my dad's house and I finally with his help got a real shroud on this thing. I could not use a clutch fan as it hit the radiator and it is forward as far as it can go even to the point we cut into the core support when we stuffed a v8 in it four years ago. Its only low 60's so I can not really test it yet too see if its enough but you can't get any better then this for a shroud setup as its from a s10 and had to just cut some here and there to make it work but man it pulls a lot more air then it used to and I am still having to use a flex fan but if this does not do it then next summer I will get a electric setup for it. Thanks guys.
|I was going to go that route but I can't with the way my motor sits the fan comes above the radiator and even using a smaller 15 inch it still will be slightly above the top. I am going to hopefully enclose the bottom up some and re do the top section and I am also going to try to cut out some of the lower air dam to allow more air as my fan only is pulling air through the top half of the radiator and the bumper air dam on the bottom of the bumper covers the rest of the radiator. Going to try a few things and I will post back of what happens. Getting ready for a paint job too so will have hands full.
The root problem is the lack of a shroud. The shroud must fit the perimiter of the radiator (at least the core) tightly. Then fair in the shape to just enclose the fan plus some engine movement space around the diameter. Without this type set up the only place the idleing engine's fan pulls air is just in front of the fan. This leaves half or more of the core with little to no air movement hence no heat transfer to the atmosphere. The shroud uses the fan to develop a low pressure area behind the entire core, therefore, there is air pulling through all the available cooling surface instead of half of it.
Clutch fans would make no difference in cooling, though are quieter at cruise where they are not needed so they clutch out and just coast with the air streaming past. Plus, there isn't any forward space for them in an S10/15 conversion. Electric fans suffer many of the same issues with a inability to configurationally cover the needed core area and take up too much space especially when properly mounted using some bracket method that doesn't use fastening the can to the core.
So keep the fan you have and either buy a decent shroud kit; examples:
Aluminum Fan Shroud, 28 W x 18.5 H - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop
A configuration that couldn be home fabricated and is very strong:
Google Image Result for http://www.cadtechindustries.com/Images/products/Offroad%20parts/radiator%20shroud.jpg
|That is a option but I would like to have the fan instead as I am not a big fan of electric fans. I will see how it goes with a different add on to what I already got then go from there. I can get a standard duty clutch fan from summit but from what I read they don't cool as good as a heavy duty or a severe duty clutch fan. I don't know if a standard duty one would be good enough or not.
|Ok guys talked with my Dad over the weekend and the shroud I posted will not work with what I currently have so what we are going to do is close up the bottom as much as we can and see how it goes. Hopefully it will work but if I need to replace the flex fan with a clutch fan I have several issues. Where I live its hard to find anything less then mid 90's for vehicles at the local junkyards and my belt system is a v belt setup with a clockwise rotation fan and if I got a clutch fan from a local junk yard it will be a counter clockwise rotation fan and a serpentine setup. I just put a brand new water pump on and I don't want to have to change everything out just to run a counter clockwise rotation clutch fan. I want to run a heavy duty one but I don't know the first place to look and how to get the proper depth of a clutch fan. Any suggestions on where to start and what I should look for? I have never looked to buy one before. Hope some one can help me with some info.
I found this make your own custom shroud kit at summit and I believe this will be what I need and should work wonders with my flex fan. I don't think I need a clutch fan just yet as tech said I need to get my shroud going first then test and see how this goes. Like I said it pulls a lot of air you can feel itpulling but as you seen the photos its needs a proper shroud like the oem's use. Thanks a lot guys I got a direction and what I need to do. Cheers all.
If you use any type of fan clutch on the water pump hub, you must use a factory fan that fits the fan clutch and the fan clutch bolt pattern. That is why fabricators use flex fans and fan spacers.
When I installed a 1970 Pontiac 455 engine in my '55 Chevy, I used a flex fan and spacer, no fan shroud. The 4-tube radiator came from a '68 Oldsmobile and the radiator shop sectioned the radiator tanks and core and neatly fitted it to the '55 Chevy radiator support. The engine ran 180* with a 180* thermostat in Texas summer heat with 4.10 rear gears on the highway at 4500 RPM.
When I changed from a 7-blade CCW rotation fan back to the OE 5-blade CCW rotation fan, I also replaced the thremo-fan clutch just because the OE clutch had 160,000 miles on it. Even with that many miles, the OE thermo fan clutch seemed to still be in good condition.
I installed a new AC Delco 15-4630 (GM-15709933), CCW rotation, thermo-controlled fan clutch. I purchased it from a seller on e-bay, NIB, for $60. It is still available from GM for $182 msrp.
LOL I did not know they still made those green fiberglass flex fans. A 1969 - 1970 Pontiac GTO with the Ram Air IV engine was equipped with a steel solid flex fan.
|The number of fan blades alone does not determine how much air a given fan will move. Automakers will vary the number of blades, blade spacing, blade shape, and fan diameter based on available space and even things like noise reduction. A seven blade fan is probably quieter, not necessarily more efficient than a five blade. Fans are also optimized for a specific RPM range. This is like designing a propeller.
I purchaced a severe duty fan clutch from auto zone around 90.00 as compared to gm I think around 250.00 with spring and viscous coupling I is for temp other is for rpm I use mine to pull a 33 camper and a car trailor so average around 6000-6500 lbs ,I cured my overheating problem ,only drawback I have if it is a problem for you it Does make more noise when it enguages a positive lock up and freewheels when not needed ,also it will spin when Cold until oil warms up then it works as designed ,,Works Great for me ,hope this helps
also you will need about an extra 1 in space between radiator and fan as it is thicker.
|I did some research and according to what I found there is a standard duty then heavy duty and then super duty clutches for a clutch fans. Now checking out summitracing they only have standard duty clutch fans and the best you can get is either a heavy duty or super duty clutch setup but since they don't have any heavy duty style clutch fans I don' know what to do about that. But I did find that summit also has aluminum shrouds that you can customize from a 15 inch to 19 inch fan and I might go that route first before changing out the fan at this point but I am going to make some big changed to what I got first and maybe cut some of it back and get a factory shroud set up to maybe fix it to clamp on my existing one and close up the bottom. I am getting ready to do a paint job next week so all that will be addressed. But thanks to you guys I do have some ideas. If I have to go to a clutch fan the thermo style is the way to go but they all have different temp ratings and I don't know what to get on that as I would like it to be fully engaged at idle if around 190 to 200. Like I said I never had one on truck before. I also would like it to be either a 5 or 6 blade heavy duty steel fan not a cheapo plastic one.
Just by coincindence, a discussion about the used of a 5-blade fan in comparison with a 7-blade fan as used on a GM thremo-controlled clutch occurred the last Saturday in June at the monthly "Cars and Coffee" outdoor car show. The several Corvette owners at the gathering agreed that the 5-blade fans coolled better than the 7-blade fan on their Corvettes and they said they have tried them both. According to the Vette owners, GM put 5-blade thermo-controlled clutch fans on Corvettes, with or without A.C.
That prompted me to experiment and change a 1992-1995 7-blade steel fan and thermo-controlled clutch back to the original 1991 5-blade steel fan and thermo-controlled clutch on my 1991 S10 Blazer 4x4. I immediately saw a slight improvement in cooling but only at highway speed with no difference in traffic. GM used a 5-blade steel fan on S10 Blazers with RPO C60 A.C. through 1991. Starting in 1992 through 1995, GM used a 7-blade steel fan and starting in 1996, GM used a 11-blade plastic fan arrangement.
Either a 5-blade or a 7-blade fan was standard equipment with RPO C60 A.C. The RPO C42, without A.C., were equipped with 3-blade fans. My 1963 Pontiac Cantalina with a RPO Police and Ambulance option without A.C. was equipped with a 5-blade solid fan, and no fan shroud. The 1963 Pontiac with Police and Ambulance option, witout A.C., had a low fin count, 3-tube radiator for improved air flow at high speed. Only the 1963 pontiacs equipped with A.C. had a fan shroud and thermo-controlled fan clutch.
There is no definitive proof which number of blades and what type of fan is best under all driving conditions.

Step 1 : RealTek 8192SU driver from official site or download it from here. wget http://samiux.volospin.com/rtl8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226.zip or wget http://www.itep.ru/ions/Arxiv/Fedora8/RTL8192SU_usb_linux_v126.96.36.199.20101111.zip Step 2 : sudo apt-get install unzip unzip rtl8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226.zip cd rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226/driver tar -xvzf rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226.tar.gz cd rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226 Step 3 : cd include nano osdep_service.h add "#include <linux/sched.h>" to the file "osdep_service.h" the result looks like this : #ifndef __OSDEP_SERVICE_H_ #define __OSDEP_SERVICE_H_ #include <drv_conf.h> #include <basic_types.h> #include <linux/sched.h> //#include <rtl871x_byteorder.h> ...... Step 4 : cd .. nano Makefile add "nullstring :=" under "export TOPDIR := $(PWD)" locate "ifeq ($(CONFIG_BUILT_IN), y)" and make changes to this ifeq block. The result looks like this : ifeq ($(CONFIG_BUILT_IN), y) include $(src)/config else ifeq ($(TOPDIR), $(nullstring)) include config else include $(TOPDIR)/config endif endif The result of the first 19 lines is as the following : EXTRA_CFLAGS += -O1 -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-value -Wno-unused-label -W$ EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I$(src)/include -Wno-unused -Wno-unused-function CONFIG_BUILT_IN = n export TOPDIR := $(PWD) nullstring := ifeq ($(CONFIG_BUILT_IN), y) include $(src)/config else ifeq ($(TOPDIR), $(nullstring)) include config else include $(TOPDIR)/config endif endif ifeq ($(CONFIG_RTL8711), y) Step 5 : make clean make sudo make install Step 6 : sudo modprobe 8712u echo "8712u" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules The dongle will work now. Be keep in mind that when the Kernel is updated, you may require to re-compile the driver at Step 5. That's all! See you.
I know ignorance here is closely linked with stupidity but I'm trying to learn and to be simple its not easy but I'm just going to keep going until i learn it just like i did with anything else.
Looking forward to any advice.
Thanks for taking the time to help a young and linux addict in the making.

Johnny Football is now Johnny NFL
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has reportedly decided to enter the NFL Draft.
According to a Twitter post from NFL.com's Gil Brandt, Manziel has filed his paperwork with the league.
Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy in 2012 and was fifth in the balloting this past season.
The Texas native threw for 3,706 yards with 26 touchdowns and only nine interceptions while rushing for 1,410 yards with 21 scores during his incredible redshirt freshman season. He set an SEC record with 5,116 yards of total offense and was the MVP of the 2013 Cotton Bowl against Oklahoma.
Manziel was suspended for the first half of the 2013 season-opener against Rice for an inadvertent violation of NCAA rules regarding the signing of autographs.
In 13 games for the Aggies this past season, he threw for 4,114 yards with 37 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. His rushing numbers declined somewhat from 2012 with 759 yards on the ground and just nine scores.
The Aggies were 20-6 in Manziel's two seasons.

Power steering question
I've been wondering about this for a while. It seems like every older vehicle (with power steering) I've had or seen does this: when you turn the steering wheel all the way in either direction, the power steering belt will slip and squeal.
What causes this? Is this from the power steering pump wearing out, a problem with the steering box, or just something out of adjustment?
Yeah ... that's pretty common, actually.
I guess that the auto mfr's thought that the motoring public would be intelligent enough to know that one you hit the lock in one direction and the drive belt started to squeal, that it would indicate that they had the wheels turned as far as they were going to go. I suppose they also thought that the driver would recognize this as an audible clue, and learn to relax his/her death grip a little ... apparently not!
The thing to understand here is that a power steering pump is nothing more than a simple hydraulic pump that provides a pressurized flow of fluid. When the steering box senses "high effort" (a specified torque figure at the input shaft) it opens a valve which allows pressurized fluid to enter and provide steering assistance in order to reduce driver effort.
So when you are holding the steering wheel at the lock, the valve in the steering box goes wide open, and the pump "goes for broke" as well.
Thank goodness that the engineers installed a releif valve inside the pump that allows the pressurized fluid to by-pass. This prevents the pump from locking up solid and either stalling the engine or burning the belt right off. If the belt is not tight enough, perhaps it starts to slip before the releif valve cuts in ... and the belt squeals. The oscillation of this bypass valve also makes a high-pitched sound ... again ... another audible clue.
I can't thelp but think that "forcing" the wheel also puts undue strain on the steering linkage as well.
I think that the more modern vehicles, equipped with rack and pinion steering have been engineered to be a little more idiot-proof. 4-cylinder cars also have a pressure switch / throttle kicker setup so that turning the wheels doesn't stall the engine.
I understand that, but none of these vehicles did this when they were new(er)...and, for example my truck, will continue to squeal until you turn the wheel back about 1/4 turn. In fact, it often starts doing it before the wheel goes all the way, about that same 1/4 turn...although it doesn't do it all the time, but most of the time.
It does definately drop the RPM's when it happens, and the belt is good and tight...
Hmmm... 1/4 turn you say ... there's something wrong there.
Perhaps the valving in the steering gear and/or pump is out of spec somehow, or binding internally?
As I mentioned earlier, this excessive pressure is hard on steering linkage. Perhaps it's gotten to a point where the linkage binds up, and that you have to "steer back" to relieve the binding?
Are there any coolant or oil leaks that may be dripping onto the belt or pulleys?
If that belt has been squealing for a while, there's a good chance that it has worn thin and has gotten glazed as well. Try a new belt, and let us know if that helps.
worn belt
worn pulleys
worn pump
worn pump bypass valve
I bet if you put all brand new stuff on it, the noise would stop.
