FreeBSD/sparc64 5.2-RELEASE Installation Instructions
The FreeBSD Project
Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 The FreeBSD Documentation Project
1 Installing FreeBSD
This section documents the process of installing a new distribution of FreeBSD. These instructions pay particular emphasis to the process of obtaining the FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE distribution and to beginning the installation procedure. The ``Installing FreeBSD'' chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook provides more in-depth information about the installation program itself, including a guided walkthrough with screenshots.
If you are upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, please see Section 3 for instructions on upgrading.
1.1 Getting Started
Probably the most important pre-installation step that can be taken is that of reading the various instruction documents provided with FreeBSD. A roadmap of documents pertaining to this release of FreeBSD can be found in README.TXT, which can usually be found in the same location as this file; most of these documents, such as the release notes and the hardware compatibility list, are also accessible in the Documentation menu of the installer.
Note that on-line versions of the FreeBSD FAQ and Handbook are also available from the FreeBSD Project Web site, if you have an Internet connection.
This collection of documents may seem daunting, but the time spent reading them will likely be saved many times over. Being familiar with what resources are available can also be helpful in the event of problems during installation.
The best laid plans sometimes go awry, so if you run into trouble take a look at Section 4, which contains valuable troubleshooting information. You should also read an updated copy of ERRATA.TXT before installing, since this will alert you to any problems which have reported in the interim for your particular release.
Important: While FreeBSD does its best to safeguard against accidental loss of data, it's still more than possible to wipe out your entire disk with this installation if you make a mistake. Please do not proceed to the final FreeBSD installation menu unless you've adequately backed up any important data first.
1.2 Hardware Requirements
FreeBSD for the UltraSPARC supports the platforms described in HARDWARE.TXT.
You will need a dedicated disk for FreeBSD/sparc64. It is not possible to share a disk with another operating system at this time.
If you are not familiar with configuring hardware for FreeBSD, you should be sure to read the HARDWARE.TXT file; it contains important information on what hardware is supported by FreeBSD.
1.4 Installing FreeBSD from CDROM or the Internet
Most sparc64 systems are set up to boot automatically from disk. To install FreeBSD, you need to boot over the network or from a CDROM, which requires you to break into the PROM (OpenFirmware).
To do this, reboot the system, and wait until the boot message appears. It depends on the model, but should look about like:
Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe), Keyboard Present Copyright 1998-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. OpenBoot 4.2, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #51090132. Ethernet address 0:3:ba:b:92:d4, Host ID: 830b92d4.
If your system proceeds to boot from disk at this point, you need to press L1+A or Stop+A on the keyboard, or send a BREAK over the serial console (using for example ~# in tip(1) or cu(1)) to get to the PROM prompt. It looks like this:
ok (1) ok {0} (2)
At this point, place the CDROM into your drive, and from the PROM prompt, type boot cdrom.
1.5 Detail on various installation types
Once you've gotten yourself to the initial installation screen somehow, you should be able to follow the various menu prompts and go from there. If you've never used the FreeBSD installation before, you are also encouraged to read some of the documentation in the Documentation submenu as well as the general ``Usage'' instructions on the first menu.
Note: If you get stuck at a screen, press the F1 key for online documentation relevant to that specific section.
If you've never installed FreeBSD before, or even if you have, the ``Standard'' installation mode is the most recommended since it makes sure that you'll visit all the various important checklist items along the way. If you're much more comfortable with the FreeBSD installation process and know exactly what you want to do, use the ``Express'' or ``Custom'' installation options. If you're upgrading an existing system, use the ``Upgrade'' option.
The FreeBSD installer supports the direct use of floppy, DOS, tape, CDROM, FTP, NFS and UFS partitions as installation media; further tips on installing from each type of media are listed below.
1.5.1 Installing from a Network CDROM
If you simply wish to install from a local CDROM drive then see Section 1.4. If you don't have a CDROM drive on your system and wish to use a FreeBSD distribution CD in the CDROM drive of another system to which you have network connectivity, there are also several ways of going about it:
If you would be able to FTP install FreeBSD directly from the CDROM drive in some FreeBSD machine, it's quite easy: You simply add the following line to the password file (using the vipw(8) command):
On the machine on which you are running the install, go to the Options menu and set Release Name to any. You may then choose a Media type of FTP and type in ftp://machine after picking ``URL'' in the ftp sites menu.
Warning: This may allow anyone on the local network (or Internet) to make ``anonymous FTP'' connections to this machine, which may not be desirable.
If you would rather use NFS to export the CDROM directly to the machine(s) you'll be installing from, you need to first add an entry to the /etc/exports file (on the machine with the CDROM drive). The example below allows the machine ziggy.foo.com to mount the CDROM directly via NFS during installation:
/cdrom -ro ziggy.foo.com
The machine with the CDROM must also be configured as an NFS server, of course, and if you're not sure how to do that then an NFS installation is probably not the best choice for you unless you're willing to read up on rc.conf(5) and configure things appropriately. Assuming that this part goes smoothly, you should be able to enter: cdrom-host:/cdrom as the path for an NFS installation when the target machine is installed, e.g. wiggy:/cdrom.
1.5.2 Installing from Floppies
If you must install from floppy disks, either due to unsupported hardware or just because you enjoy doing things the hard way, you must first prepare some floppies for the install.
First, make your boot floppies as described in Section 1.3.
Second, peruse Section 2 and pay special attention to the ``Distribution Format'' section since it describes which files you're going to need to put onto floppy and which you can safely skip.
Next you will need, at minimum, as many 1.44MB floppies as it takes to hold all files in the bin (binary distribution) directory. If you're preparing these floppies under DOS, then these floppies must be formatted using the MS-DOS FORMAT command. If you're using Windows, use the Windows File Manager format command.
Important: Frequently, floppy disks come ``factory preformatted''. While convenient, many problems reported by users in the past have resulted from the use of improperly formatted media. Re-format them yourself, just to make sure.
If you're creating the floppies from another FreeBSD machine, a format is still not a bad idea though you don't need to put a DOS filesystem on each floppy. You can use the disklabel(8) and newfs(8) commands to put a UFS filesystem on a floppy, as the following sequence of commands illustrates:
# fdformat -f 1440 fd0.1440 # disklabel -w -r fd0.1440 floppy3 # newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -i 65536 /dev/fd0
After you've formatted the floppies for DOS or UFS, you'll need to copy the files onto them. The distribution files are split into chunks conveniently sized so that 5 of them will fit on a conventional 1.44MB floppy. Go through all your floppies, packing as many files as will fit on each one, until you've got all the distributions you want packed up in this fashion. Each distribution should go into its own subdirectory on the floppy, e.g.: a:\bin\bin.inf, a:\bin\bin.aa, a:\bin\bin.ab, ...
Important: The bin.inf file also needs to go on the first floppy of the bin set since it is read by the installation program in order to figure out how many additional pieces to look for when fetching and concatenating the distribution. When putting distributions onto floppies, the distname.inf file must occupy the first floppy of each distribution set. This is also covered in README.TXT.
Once you come to the Media screen of the install, select ``Floppy'' and you'll be prompted for the rest.
1.5.4 Installing from QIC/SCSI Tape
When installing from tape, the installation program expects the files to be simply tar'ed onto it, so after fetching all of the files for the distributions you're interested in, simply use tar(1) to get them onto the tape with a command something like this:
# cd /where/you/have/your/dists # tar cvf /dev/rsa0 dist1 .. dist2
When you go to do the installation, you should also make sure that you leave enough room in some temporary directory (which you'll be allowed to choose) to accommodate the full contents of the tape you've created. Due to the non-random access nature of tapes, this method of installation requires quite a bit of temporary storage. You should expect to require as much temporary storage as you have stuff written on tape.
Note: When going to do the installation, the tape must be in the drive before booting from the boot floppies. The installation ``probe'' may otherwise fail to find it.
Now create a boot floppy as described in Section 1.3 and proceed with the installation.
1.5.5 Installing over a Network using FTP or NFS
After making the boot floppies as described in the first section, you can load the rest of the installation over a network using one of 3 types of connections: serial port, parallel port, or Ethernet.
188.8.131.52 Serial Port
SLIP support is rather primitive, and is limited primarily to hard-wired links, such as a serial cable running between two computers. The link must be hard-wired because the SLIP installation doesn't currently offer a dialing capability. If you need to dial out with a modem or otherwise dialog with the link before connecting to it, then I recommend that the PPP utility be used instead.
If you're using PPP, make sure that you have your Internet Service Provider's IP address and DNS information handy as you'll need to know it fairly early in the installation process. You may also need to know your own IP address, though PPP supports dynamic address negotiation and may be able to pick up this information directly from your ISP if they support it.
You will also need to know how to use the various ``AT commands'' for dialing out with your particular brand of modem as the PPP dialer provides only a very simple terminal emulator.
184.108.40.206 Parallel Port
If a hard-wired connection to another FreeBSD or Linux machine is available, you might also consider installing over a ``laplink'' style parallel port cable. The data rate over the parallel port is much higher than what is typically possible over a serial line (up to 50k/sec), thus resulting in a quicker installation. It's not typically necessary to use ``real'' IP addresses when using a point-to-point parallel cable in this way and you can generally just use RFC 1918 style addresses for the ends of the link (e.g. 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, etc).
Important: If you use a Linux machine rather than a FreeBSD machine as your PLIP peer, you will also have to specify link0 in the TCP/IP setup screen's ``extra options for ifconfig'' field in order to be compatible with Linux's slightly different PLIP protocol.
184.108.40.206 Ethernet
FreeBSD supports many common Ethernet cards; a table of supported cards is provided as part of the FreeBSD Hardware Notes (see HARDWARE.TXT in the Documentation menu on the boot floppy or the top level directory of the CDROM). If you are using one of the supported PCMCIA Ethernet cards, also be sure that it's plugged in before the laptop is powered on. FreeBSD does not, unfortunately, currently support ``hot insertion'' of PCMCIA cards during installation.
You will also need to know your IP address on the network, the netmask value for your subnet and the name of your machine. Your system administrator can tell you which values are appropriate to your particular network setup. If you will be referring to other hosts by name rather than IP address, you'll also need a name server and possibly the address of a gateway (if you're using PPP, it's your provider's IP address) to use in talking to it. If you want to install by FTP via an HTTP proxy (see below), you will also need the proxy's address.
If you do not know the answers to these questions then you should really probably talk to your system administrator first before trying this type of installation. Using a randomly chosen IP address or netmask on a live network is almost guaranteed not to work, and will probably result in a lecture from said system administrator.
Once you have a network connection of some sort working, the installation can continue over NFS or FTP.
188.8.131.52 NFS installation tips
NFS installation is fairly straight-forward: Simply copy the FreeBSD distribution files you want onto a server somewhere and then point the NFS media selection at it.
If this server supports only ``privileged port'' access (this is generally the default for Sun and Linux workstations), you will need to set this option in the Options menu before installation can proceed.
If you have a poor quality Ethernet card which suffers from very slow transfer rates, you may also wish to toggle the appropriate Options flag.
In order for NFS installation to work, the server must also support ``subdir mounts'', e.g. if your FreeBSD distribution directory lives on wiggy:/usr/archive/stuff/FreeBSD, then wiggy will have to allow the direct mounting of /usr/archive/stuff/FreeBSD, not just /usr or /usr/archive/stuff.
In FreeBSD's /etc/exports file this is controlled by the -alldirs option. Other NFS servers may have different conventions. If you are getting Permission Denied messages from the server then it's likely that you don't have this properly enabled.
18.104.22.168 FTP Installation tips
FTP installation may be done from any mirror site containing a reasonably up-to-date version of FreeBSD. A full menu of reasonable choices for almost any location in the world is provided in the FTP site menu during installation.
If you are installing from some other FTP site not listed in this menu, or you are having troubles getting your name server configured properly, you can also specify your own URL by selecting the ``URL'' choice in that menu. A URL can contain a hostname or an IP address, so something like the following would work in the absence of a name server:
There are three FTP installation modes you can use:
FTP: This method uses the standard ``Active'' mode for transfers, in which the server initiates a connection to the client. This will not work through most firewalls but will often work best with older FTP servers that do not support passive mode. If your connection hangs with passive mode, try this one.
FTP Passive: This sets the FTP "Passive" mode which prevents the server from opening connections to the client. This option is best for users to pass through firewalls that do not allow incoming connections on random port addresses.
FTP via an HTTP proxy: This option instructs FreeBSD to use HTTP to connect to a proxy for all FTP operations. The proxy will translate the requests and send them to the FTP server. This allows the user to pass through firewalls that do not allow FTP at all, but offer an HTTP proxy. You must specify the hostname of the proxy in addition to the FTP server.
In the rare case that you have an FTP proxy that does not go through HTTP, you can specify the URL as something like:
In the URL above, port is the port number of the proxy FTP server.
2 Distribution Format
A typical FreeBSD distribution directory looks something like this (exact details may vary depending on version, architecture, and other factors):
ERRATA.HTM README.TXT compat1x dict kernel ERRATA.TXT RELNOTES.HTM compat20 doc manpages HARDWARE.HTM RELNOTES.TXT compat21 docbook.css packages HARDWARE.TXT base compat22 filename.txt ports INSTALL.HTM boot compat3x floppies proflibs INSTALL.TXT catpages compat4x games src README.HTM cdrom.inf crypto info tools
If you want to do a CDROM, FTP or NFS installation from this distribution directory, all you need to do is make the 1.44MB boot floppies from the floppies directory (see Section 1.3 for instructions on how to do this), boot them and follow the instructions. The rest of the data needed during the installation will be obtained automatically based on your selections. If you've never installed FreeBSD before, you also want to read the entirety of this document (the installation instructions) file.
If you're trying to do some other type of installation or are merely curious about how a distribution is organized, what follows is a more thorough description of some of these items in more detail:
The *.TXT and *.HTM files contain documentation (for example, this document is contained in both INSTALL.TXT and INSTALL.HTM) and should be read before starting an installation. The *.TXT files are plain text, while the *.HTM files are HTML files that can be read by almost any Web browser. Some distributions may contain documentation in other formats as well, such as PDF or PostScript.
docbook.css is a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file used by some Web browsers for formatting the HTML documentation.
The base, catpages, crypto, dict, doc, games, info, manpages, proflibs, and src directories contain the primary distribution components of FreeBSD itself and are split into smaller files for easy packing onto floppies (should that be necessary).
The compat1x, compat20, compat21, compat22, compat3x, and compat4x directories contain distributions for compatibility with older releases and are distributed as single gzip'd tar files - they can be installed during release time or later by running their install.sh scripts.
The floppies/ subdirectory contains the floppy installation images; further information on using them can be found in Section 1.3.
The packages and ports directories contain the FreeBSD Packages and Ports Collections. Packages may be installed from the packages directory by running the command:
#/stand/sysinstall configPackages
Packages can also be installed by feeding individual filenames in packages/ to the pkg_add(1) command.
The Ports Collection may be installed like any other distribution and requires about 100MB unpacked. More information on the ports collection may be obtained from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ or locally from /usr/share/doc/handbook if you've installed the doc distribution.
Last of all, the tools directory contains various DOS tools for discovering disk geometries, installing boot managers and the like. It is purely optional and provided only for user convenience.
A typical distribution directory (for example, the info distribution) looks like this internally:
CHECKSUM.MD5 info.ab info.ad info.inf install.sh info.aa info.ac info.ae info.mtree
The CHECKSUM.MD5 file contains MD5 signatures for each file, should data corruption be suspected, and is purely for reference. It is not used by the actual installation and does not need to be copied with the rest of the distribution files. The info.a* files are split, gzip'd tar files, the contents of which can be viewed by doing:
# cat info.a* | tar tvzf -
During installation, they are automatically concatenated and extracted by the installation procedure.
The info.inf file is also necessary since it is read by the installation program in order to figure out how many pieces to look for when fetching and concatenating the distribution. When putting distributions onto floppies, the .inf file must occupy the first floppy of each distribution set!
The info.mtree file is another non-essential file which is provided for user reference. It contains the MD5 signatures of the unpacked distribution files and can be later used with the mtree(8) program to verify the installation permissions and checksums against any possible modifications to the file. When used with the base distribution, this can be an excellent way of detecting trojan horse attacks on your system.
Finally, the install.sh file is for use by those who want to install the distribution after installation time. To install the info distribution from CDROM after a system was installed, for example, you'd do:
# cd /cdrom/info # sh install.sh
3 Upgrading FreeBSD
These instructions describe a procedure for doing a binary upgrade from an older version of FreeBSD.
Warning: While the FreeBSD upgrade procedure does its best to safeguard against accidental loss of data, it is still more than possible to wipe out your entire disk with this installation! Please do not accept the final confirmation request unless you have adequately backed up any important data files.
Important: These notes assume that you are using the version of sysinstall(8) supplied with the version of FreeBSD to which you intend to upgrade. Using a mismatched version of sysinstall(8) is almost guaranteed to cause problems and has been known to leave systems in an unusable state. The most commonly made mistake in this regard is the use of an old copy of sysinstall(8) from an existing installation to upgrade to a newer version of FreeBSD. This is not recommended.
Warning: Binary upgrades to FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE from FreeBSD 4-STABLE are not supported at this time. There are some files present in a FreeBSD 4-STABLE whose presence can be disruptive, but are not removed by a binary upgrade. One notable example is that an old /usr/include/g++ directory will cause C++ programs to compile incorrectly (or not at all).
These upgrade instructions are provided for the use of users upgrading from relatively recent FreeBSD 5-CURRENT snapshots.
3.1 Introduction
The upgrade procedure replaces distributions selected by the user with those corresponding to the new FreeBSD release. It preserves standard system configuration data, as well as user data, installed packages and other software.
Administrators contemplating an upgrade are encouraged to study this section in its entirety before commencing an upgrade. Failure to do so may result in a failed upgrade or loss of data.
3.1.1 Upgrade Overview
Upgrading of a distribution is performed by extracting the new version of the component over the top of the previous version. Files belonging to the old distribution are not deleted.
System configuration is preserved by retaining and restoring the previous version of the following files:
Xaccel.ini, XF86Config, adduser.conf, aliases, aliases.db, amd.map, crontab, csh.cshrc, csh.login, csh.logout, cvsupfile, dhclient.conf, disktab, dm.conf, dumpdates, exports, fbtab, fstab, ftpusers, gettytab, gnats, group, hosts, hosts.allow, hosts.equiv, hosts.lpd, inetd.conf, localtime, login.access, login.conf, mail, mail.rc, make.conf, manpath.config, master.passwd, motd, namedb, networks, newsyslog.conf, nsmb.conf, nsswitch.conf, pam.conf, passwd, periodic, ppp, printcap, profile, pwd.db, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, rc.local, remote, resolv.conf, rmt, sendmail.cf, sendmail.cw, services, shells, skeykeys, spwd.db, ssh, syslog.conf, ttys, uucp
The versions of these files which correspond to the new version are moved to /etc/upgrade/. The system administrator may peruse these new versions and merge components as desired. Note that many of these files are interdependent, and the best merge procedure is to copy all site-specific data from the current files into the new.
During the upgrade procedure, the administrator is prompted for a location into which all files from /etc/ are saved. In the event that local modifications have been made to other files, they may be subsequently retrieved from this location.
3.2 Procedure
This section details the upgrade procedure. Particular attention is given to items which substantially differ from a normal installation.
3.2.1 Backup
User data and system configuration should be backed up before upgrading. While the upgrade procedure does its best to prevent accidental mistakes, it is possible to partially or completely destroy data and configuration information.
3.2.2 Mount Filesystems
The disklabel editor is entered with the nominated disk's filesystem devices listed. Prior to commencing the upgrade, the administrator should make a note of the device names and corresponding mountpoints. These mountpoints should be entered here. Do not set the ``newfs flag'' for any filesystems, as this will cause data loss.
3.2.3 Select Distributions
When selecting distributions, there are no constraints on which must be selected. As a general rule, the base distribution should be selected for an update, and the man distribution if manpages are already installed. Other distributions may be selected beyond those originally installed if the administrator wishes to add additional functionality.
3.2.4 After Installation
Once the installation procedure has completed, the administrator is prompted to examine the new configuration files. At this point, checks should be made to ensure that the system configuration is valid. In particular, the /etc/rc.conf and /etc/fstab files should be checked.
3.3 Upgrading from Source Code
Those interested in an upgrade method that allows more flexibility and sophistication should take a look at The Cutting Edge in the FreeBSD Handbook. This procedure involves rebuilding all of FreeBSD from source code. It requires reliable network connectivity, extra disk space, and time, but has advantages for networks and other more complex installations. This is roughly the same procedure as is used for track the -STABLE or -CURRENT development branches.
/usr/src/UPDATING contains important information on updating a FreeBSD system from source code. It lists various issues resulting from changes in FreeBSD that may affect an upgrade.
4 Troubleshooting
4.1 Repairing an Existing FreeBSD Installation
FreeBSD features a ``Fixit'' option in the top menu of the boot floppy. To use it, you will also need either a fixit.flp image floppy, generated in the same fashion as the boot floppy, or the ``live filesystem'' CDROM; typically the second CDROM in a multi-disc FreeBSD distribution.
To invoke fixit, simply boot the kern.flp floppy, choose the ``Fixit'' item and insert the fixit floppy or CDROM when asked. You will then be placed into a shell with a wide variety of commands available (in the /stand and /mnt2/stand directories) for checking, repairing and examining filesystems and their contents. Some UNIX administration experience is required to use the fixit option.
This file, and other release-related documents, can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/sparc64/.

We're in the middle of several deadly epidemics in the United States. Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are affecting more and more people every year. Recent statistics show that two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. Thirty percent of American children are obese. Approximately 21 million Americans have diabetes. One child out of every 500 has type I diabetes. In America, 72 million adults have high blood pressure. These are shocking statistics, considering that U.S. health care expenditures totaled $2 trillion in 2006. That's 2 TRILLION dollars.
As Americans, we're getting less healthy by the day. The good news is there are many things we can do about these trends. There is real action that every American, young and old, can take to support and protect their health and well-being. These action steps all focus on lifestyle - the choices we make each and every day.
The first step is an honest self-assessment. When was the last time I exercised? Does my clothes size increase every couple of years? How many times during the week do I eat fast food? When was the last time I ate an apple instead of half a box of cookies?
Regardless of the answers, it is possible to become healthy and fit again, whatever your current circumstances. You CAN lose 10 or 20 or 30 or however many pounds. You CAN climb stairs without getting out of breath. You CAN regain the youthful glow of vitality. You CAN be vigorous and proud of your body, rather than worrying about what's going to be the next thing to break down.
Healthy eating and regular exercise are essential parts of the solution to combating obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.1,2 These practices have the magical effect of resetting your metabolic clock - your body shifts from a pattern of storing fat to a pattern of burning fat.3 Over time, with a nutritious food plan and consistent exercise, you even burn fat while you're resting!

Trudeau can't be trusted to make life more affordable for you and your family
Ottawa, Ontario – Yesterday, as part of the Liberal platform, Justin Trudeau announced an expansion of the Child Disability Tax Credit.
But the last time Justin Trudeau needed money for his out-of-control deficit spending he targeted Canadians living with disabilities to pay the bill.
In 2016 Justin Trudeau ordered the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to crack down on "tax cheats". As a result, the CRA started clawing back disability benefits – cutting off diabetics, children with Autism, and a number of other Canadians living with chronic conditions.
The result was endless hardship for Canadians living with disabilities.
CRA policy change prompted diabetes tax credit denials, health groups allege https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/cra-policy-change-prompted-diabetes-tax-credit-denials-health-groups-allege-1.3706393
The CRA makes it so hard to get the disability tax credit, many don't even try https://globalnews.ca/news/3956042/cra-disability-tax-credit-canada/beta/?utm_expid=.kz0UD5JkQOCo6yMqxGqECg.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.ca%2F
CRA backs down in row with diabetics denied disability tax credit
The CRA Is Denying The Disability Tax Credit To Some With Disabilities
When Justin Trudeau doesn't need your vote but he still needs your money, Trudeau will again raise taxes on Canadians living with disabilities.
Trudeau simply cannot be trusted to make life more affordable for these families, he is simply not as advertised.
Only Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives can be trusted to put more money back in your pocket to help you and your family get ahead.

We herewith declare that in the month of November 2002 we arranged in our gallery an exposition of the tapestries made by Mrs. Elena Zidaru of Piatra Neamt. The works are made in a very meticulous way. The fine needlework impressed the public and got a good press in the regional papers and television-stations. Mrs Elena Zidaru can be seen as an outstanding example in this decorative art very popular in this part of Romania
Mrs. Elena Zidaru art works, realised in Gobelin tapestry, are impressive through flawless execution, careful choice of subjects (mostly French impressionists: Renoir, Rodin, English landscape artists: Turner, Constable, Dutch and Japanese scenery reminding of Hocusai Utamaro, Hiroshige). There is a lot of romanticism and lyricism in Mrs. Elena Zidaru's Gobelin tapestry, but these "jewels" show a lot of lucidity too.
In exhibitional activity of Art Museum of Roman, in 2007, featured a personal gobelins exhibition of Mrs. Elena Zidaru, president of The Gobelin and Handicraft Art Association in Romania. The exhibition was opened in March, being varnished on March 8 by the personalities of cultural life of Roman city, participating in the event a numerous public, loving beautiful.
Subliniez doar din nevoie estetica aceasta capacitate de a vizualiza si de a transfigura in materie textila niste visuri, niste dimensiuni ale plenitudii omului, cel care a descoperit frumusetea atat in afara lui cat si in propria lui fiinta. Doamna Elena Zidaru are o cultura plastica cu totul remarcabila este interesata indeosebi de valorile renasterii pe care le transfigureaza in dimensiunea textila in goblen o arta extrem de minutioasa care presupune ora in sir ca sa poti rezolva un centimetru.
Excellent! I think that your work with all your fabric of colors is much more difficult than what i do with oil paints and brushes. You are a very talented artist. Dear Elena it's difficult to tell a master what next to do. Just follow your feelings!

Communications can be a major pain point for small and medium-sized businesses. A fluid communications system help promotes growth and allows for optimal operational efficiency. Unfortunately, many organizations also have trouble managing and maintaining all of their communications solutions. This can stymie growth and make it difficult to reap the benefits of hard-earned progress.
SMBs that want to maximize the return on investment for their communications tools should take advantage of a customized Unified Communications Solution from Adeptcore, Inc.. Unified Communications is a collective term used to group together several communications solutions that allow for greater collaboration, cooperation, and efficiency on a company-wide scale. By taking advantage of services like Voice over Internet Protocol, hosted email, and video conferencing, among many others, you can fully leverage your technology and use it to build a better business model.
Email and Instant Messaging Solutions
Allow for instantaneous and thorough communication.
All businesses need email, but implementing an email solution needs to be approached in an educated and decisive manner. If your team has a company-wide email solution that is uniform throughout, it will be easier to communicate and your team will look professional with their outbound email communications. Another great part of unified communications is the integration of an instant messaging solution, which allows your team to send and receive urgent messages. This can be helpful if you need immediate responses, rather than deal with the long, drawn-out conversations that typically happen via email.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Use your Internet connection as a telephony solution.
Traditional phone systems have fallen behind the times, giving way to more convenient and flexible telephony solutions like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). VoIP uses your Internet connection to transfer your voice to those on the other end of the line. VoIP eliminates unnecessary costs associated with running new wires and adding additional lines. The best part of VoIP is that you can use either desktop phones or what are known as softphones, allowing you to use them in the office, at home, or on the road with a smartphone app.
Conferencing Solutions
Communicate directly with video and audio chat solutions.
Sometimes you'll have days where your workers may not be in the office, and will work remotely while on a business trip. In this situation, you can keep them involved with your business by conducting virtual meetings using conferencing solutions. This helps to add a personal touch to your team's internal interactions, while also making it much easier to conduct meetings externally if face-to-face interaction isn't an option.
Take Advantage of Unified Communications Today
These three aspects of internal communications are only a few of many great solutions available through unified communications. By taking full advantage of unified communications, your business can improve operations and communicate more efficiently. These solutions can be hosted by you or in the cloud and provide significant returns on investment. For more information about how your business can boost its communications initiatives, give Adeptcore, Inc. a call at (847) 595-0343.

Vick Watch, Cont'd: The current plan from the NFL isn't to suspend Vick (according to Schefter via PFT), but you can still hope.
Actually, if anything, the cautious "wait-and-see" approach from the league makes their aggressively established "Get Tough" personal conduct policy look like a sham: If you're not a star, you get the rack; if you're a star, "well, let's not rush to judgment!"
Meanwhile, Vick's first court appearance is a week from today, incidentally the first day of Falcons training camp. It's like Fate has an amazing sense of humor (if not for the – y'know – electrocution, drowning, hanging and beating of dogs to death).
(MDS at Fanhouse has a great little pick-up: The judge assigned to the case is a hard-ass on defendants. Yikes for Vick.)
British Open: The best British Open storyline is that Gary Player claims that there are steroids in golf. It's an amusing concept, until you realize that he's almost certainly right. And I'll bet it's even more widespread than you think. It always is, particularly in the places you least expect.
Meanwhile, here's why golf has become boring. My analysis? Um, yeah: I'll take Tiger to win, like he has the last two B.O.'s. (Any breakdown beyond that is opining for the sake of opining.)
(Related: Take a sip every time you hear or read someone torture the cliched pun "Car-nasty" in reference to the Open course.)
Bonds Watch: He sits... again. And anyone who put money down on an August 1 over/under on when he breaks Aaron's record has to be a little nervous at this point.
MLB Stud: Julio Franco! MLB's Methuselah given a new lease on his 48-year-old life after being signed by the Braves.
MLB Stud, 2: Carlos Zambrano becomes the NL's first 12-game winner.
MLB Dud: BBWAA (an organization I rip on regularly), for tossing out a Japanese baseball writer who asked for Roger Clemens' autograph, which is a no-no according to BBWAA guidelines. Not that the foreign writer understood that, but that didn't stop the BBWAA from banning him. Hmm: I didn't see that they had a policy about BBWAA members who have personal favorite players they write sympathetically about. That seems to me to be a much greater offense. (Not to mention the ridiculous way that this group gets to determine which players are Hall of Fame-worthy or not. But that's another story.)
College Football Media Daze: Big East. I'm a few days late on talking about Big East Media Day (my annual moment to take a snapshot of the league and what will happen in the upcoming season).
First of all, let's look back: The conference is coming off an amazing year.
In 2007, I'm with the writers who pick
Heisman Watch: Why Darren McFadden got my Heisman vote a year ago and why he should be the No. 1 contender in 2007: Best. Car. Ever.
LeBron to host "SNL" in the fall: I actually think LeBron is a pretty gifted actor (for an athlete). He'll do really well... except for the fact that, well, "SNL" sketches are absolutely terrible. (The digital videos are OK sometimes, but what does it say that SNL has to rip off YouTube amateurs in order to be remotely funny or relevant?)
NHL: This might be the smartest move that the NHL has ever made, particularly considering their current situation.
Pimp-My-Blog Goodness: In case you missed yesterday's announcement, I have partnered with the email newsletter Thrillist. Click here to sign up for it or click here to see yesterday's post about it with details.
Navel-Gazing: Believe it or not, I'm not the type of person to obsessively check my Technorati status (maybe once every few months, if that), but on a whim I just checked it out, and I have cracked the Top 10,000 ranking. That's really kind of cool. I'm quite sure that they'll boot me out once they realize the mistake they've made.
Finally, a quasi-welcome to Epic Carnival, a new-ish group sports blog. I say "new-ish" because it's all bloggers you've probably seen linked on Deadspin or read directly yourselves, all in one place. It's sort of like AOL Fanhouse without the financial compensation. Good luck to the E.C. Cool idea!

Tips for Correct Garbage Disposal
Correct garbage disposal is essential for maintaining a clean and safe environment. Whether you're throwing away trash at home or in a residential area, it's important to follow these tips to ensure that waste is handled properly and safely:
- Separate Recyclables: Before disposing of your trash, separate recyclable items such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Recycling helps minimize landfill waste and preserves valuable resources.
- Use Trash Bins: Place all non-recyclable waste in designated trash bins. Make sure lids are securely closed to deter animals from accessing the trash and creating a mess.
- Don't Flush Trash: Never flush trash, including feminine products, wipes, or medications, down the toilet. Flushing these items can cause plumbing issues and damage the environment.
- Dispose of Hazardous Waste Properly: Items such as batteries, electronics, chemicals, and paint should be disposed of at designated drop-off locations. Improper disposal of hazardous waste can have dangerous effects on the environment and human health.
- Compost Organic Waste: If you have a garden, consider composting organic waste such as fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and yard trimmings. Composting not only lowers waste but also enriches the soil for healthier plants.
By following these tips, you can contribute to waste management solutions and help create a cleaner and more sustainable environment for future generations.

Letter VS Spirit
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Of course, they then LOSE those points for writing the instructions on the cake.
Believe it or not, some folks are starting to ask for Wrecks like these ("Happy Birthday Under Neat That", etc) which adds a whole new level of hilarity when the bakery gets it wrong by getting it right.
For example, Corrie wanted a Wreckplica of the infamous Curious George CCC that said "Cangrtalations Corrie" on it for her graduation cake. She got this:
Granted, I think the decorator captured the true horror of the original Wreck quite well, but she also "corrected" Corrie's intentional misspelling to read "Congrats Carrie!"
Wow, it's like a Wreck to the third power, huh, Corrie? That is so awesome.
And for those of you wondering about the first two: Katelyn W. & Erin M. assure me they're legit. And since they used very sincere fonts, I believe them.

Those are so funny.
I recently made up a new cake order form for the girls at work to use. I specifically wrote on the form: Please write EXACTLY as you would like it to appear on the cake - no extra quotation marks, exclamation marks etc. unless it is to appear on the cake. I am amazed at how hard it is for them to break the habit of putting everything in quotation marks or ending everything with an exclamation mark.
Hopefully my attempts to avoid a cake wreck won't end up as a cake wreck....or a triple cake wreck. - June 10, 2009 at 9:36 AM

that second one (the gift box) is a pretty cake regardless.

"Sara no H", huh? I once ordered a set of personalized pencils for each of our daughters, and specified "Teresa (no H)" and that was the way the pencils came. "Teresa No H". Maybe they thought she was Oriental? After all, our last name is Rice!

Do you purposefully post before 8am Mountain Time so I can come to work each morning and start my day off right? If you do, then a big THANK YOU!

As an Anne with an E I feel for Sara with no H. Makes me wonder if there's a back history with the bakery, though, that they so explicitly put "no H" on the order form. I have known a few folks who absolutely insist they know the one and only "correct" way to spell a name with multiple possible spellings (even discounting the contemporary alternatives) - perhaps this wreckerator is one such?

oh it's all getting too confusing!!
- June 10, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Perhaps number 3 knows of this website and didn't want to end up on here for not correcting the misspellings, so to make up for fixing the spelling the decorator added some color to George's lips.
Just a thought. Love this website, it definately makes my days a little brighter! - June 10, 2009 at 10:32 AM
This is exactly what George Orwell was warning against in 1984!!!
When we start intentionally creating cake wrecks, thus re-writing history, how will we then spot the real, un-ironic wrecks? It's chaos people! - June 10, 2009 at 10:37 AM

Love cake decorators who can't bring themselves to make an intentional misspelling. That would be me.

So if I could intentionally design a cake wreck, it would be one that features a variety of Entirely Useless Items that can be bought at your neighborhood grocery store, like Micro-Yams (already been shrink-wrapped sweet potatoes) and vegetable "shaped" food storage containers: http://acadiadurham.blogspot.com.
I can't even begin to imagine how hysterical your commentary on that would be... - June 10, 2009 at 10:52 AM

I absolutely love the pink box with the huge bow!! I wouldn't care if it said "Good luck with the tax audit," I'd ooh and ahh over it.
Hee, I'm always mildly disappointed that when I go to my local bakery, there are no wrecks in sight...or none I can photograph without people thinking I'm looney. XD - June 10, 2009 at 12:39 PM
- Juliet said...
What's up with the backwards 'j'? Is it an Eastern European letter that I don't know about?
I'm having a hard time understanding the backwards 'j'.
These wrecks I think demonstrate how hard it is to communicate though both words and print. - June 10, 2009 at 1:24 PM

I didn't even recognize that the 3rd cake was supposed to be Curious George, let alone Curious George in drag. I thought it was just a big-lipped monster.

Curious...If you enlarge the "Backward's J" there is a little sticker that says "Companion". Wonder if there is another cake somewhere with a backwards J.

I ordered a cake today with very specific instructions, including a computer printout of what I wanted the cake to look like. I can't wait to see how it turns out — you might have a new wreck on Friday.
- June 10, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Good Lord, these are terrible! The second one would be a beautiful cake if it weren't for the (backwards J) at the bottom. . . seriously. . .
- June 10, 2009 at 3:48 PM
We home bake all of our cakes here in my house but if we ordered them from a store my husband could get me one that says "with one L".
May a plague of locusts rain down upon parents who saddle a child with weird or alternately spelled names.

- Saralukies said...
As a Sara no H, I can sympathize with the subject of that cake. I literally have to say "Sara, no H" every time I say my name to someone writing it down, and even then, sometimes they write like the wind and that damn H ends up there anyway.
Stupid dumb H. - June 10, 2009 at 4:40 PM
@stunbunny - I don't think this is quite what Orwell was worried about.
@Michele - I also had that spelling as a middle name, but it may have been to make up for a last name with 2 C's, 2 N's, and 2 L's that despite being perfectly phonetic, no one could spell or pronounce.
And I grew up with Alexandra, before it was cool, and always got an extra "I". Now, about half the time I get the masculine spelling.
I need a cake with "d-r-a!"

As a Sara without an H, I appreciate that cake. I have to say at least they didn't write Sarah without an H. That would have been funnier!
Thanks for you wonderful blog! I love seeing the genius of people. - June 10, 2009 at 6:19 PM
I actually put palm to forehead on the first one... Wow...
- June 10, 2009 at 6:25 PM
The "curious George" one has GOT to be a Walmart cake. I think the store by my house pulls bums off the street to decorate.
Being a cake decorator myself, it saddens me to see stuff like this and that people actually pay money for it!! LMAO

As the proud recipient of the original Curious George Cake...I cannot believe this cake is still ALIVE!
And, on the spelling front...with my name being SHARA, it is always misspelled on my birthday cake. But, on the hideous C.G. Cupcake Wreck - they got it right! Just everything else was wrong, wrong, wrong. - June 10, 2009 at 7:08 PM
A few weeks ago I ordered an intentional cake wreck for my boyfriend's birthday. They did a terrific job, random quotation marks, under neat that, bright clashing colors, a clown and a shotgun! They were such good sports about the whole thing I promised them I'd never post a photo. At the party, NONE of our friends got it. No-one thought it was funny at all. On a side note, we're currently in the market for new friends. Anyone?

Okay here's my favourite "They just don't get it" moment: It's abit long but I think it's worth the read -
My father had a prosthetic leg, the result of a terrible accident years before. My father had taught me though that having fun is what it's all about. Good clean fun, the kind that everyone can enjoy and is not at anyone's expense. So when we went to a huge picnic and they called for the women's 3 legged race. I asked him if I could borrow his leg. I strapped it to the side of one of my legs and went to the starting line. One of the race organizers saw me and asked where my other person one. I straight faced told her, "you said 3-legged race, you said nothing about 2 people". She smiled and gave me a little wink.(She got it!) and went back to the sidelines. All the other ladies in the race "Got it!" too. As I showed off all the way down the field, running side ways and backwards, I had them laughing so hard that they were falling all over the field as they were attempting to keep up with me in the race. The race volunteers even added in to it by moving the finish line all over the place. But here's the REALLY funny part - 2 little old ladies on the sidelines doing the "head shaking Tsk! Tsk!" and saying "That's not fair. She should be disqualified" That had ME just about falling over in laughter. I got to the finish line and they attempted to hand me a first place ribbon. I told them I only did it for a laugh and to give the ribbon to whoever came in first behind me. I would be happy with the "participants piece of licorice". But they insisted on me taking the ribbon. When I returned my fathers leg to him, he was laughing so hard he had tears rolling down his face, and he immediately pinned the ribbon to his leg. For the rest of the day people would ask him why he had a red ribbon on his leg and he'd reply, "Oh it's a first place ribbon. I wasn't actually in the race ....but my leg was!" - June 12, 2009 at 9:42 AM

Quite curious: Why did the pink giftbox cake get replaced? If it will cause an unnecessary controversy, just tell me the cake's a lie and I'll believe you.

i was buying a cake yesterday for a baby shower and all i wanted was "congratulations" written on it. i was a little nervous because i read your blog all the time. but much to my relief, the cake guy wrote the word on a piece of paper and asked me to spell check it before he iced it on the cake!!

I know someone named Kraig. I can't imagine how many times he's had to say "...with a K." Is it possible that they would have put "Craig with a K" on the cake? And to add to this, his sons are named Karson and Kolton.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
