I'm surprised that there haven't been any posts yet about Canary Square, the new place that opened in JP a few weeks ago. My understanding is that it's owned by the same folks that own Coda, which I've never been to but I've heard good things.
I've only eaten there once thus far, and grabbed a beer but no food their opening night. The burger, I had a few nights ago was decent, but definitely not great. The beef itself was not all that flavorful, and surprisingly dry given that it was quite pink - a shade past the med-rare I requested, but not quite to medium either. A few bites were juicy, but by and large it really fell down on that count. Didn't love the bun, which was a faux-brioche, also on the dry side. The upsides were a nice, smoky flavor from their wood grill and decent blue cheese (my request). For $12, though, they REALLY need to be sourcing tastier (and fattier) beef, unless they're doing something in the cooking process that's drying it out. The fries were equally unexciting. They had a decent potato flavor, but also suffered texturally. They were marginally crisp with a fairly dry, mealy interior, and didn't taste particularly fresh. The brighter points were the house pickles, which were pretty good, and one roasted radish I stole, which was simple and nice.
After all that there were some things to be happy about. The service at the bar was terrific and friendly. Our bartender was endearing in a very neighborhoody way, asking folks their names as they left in a way that seemed quite warm and genuine. The beer list is good -- not quite fancy-beer-bar-good, but a solid craft selection and well priced. My critique is that it needs more variety - I love IPAs and pale ales, but they need to mix it up more.
Overall, my early read is that it's a place with promise, but not really firing on all cylinders. I hope that they improve just a bit. I feel like they're not too far off, and would make a good addition to the neighborhood.

Remembering Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Hitchens has died. I never personally met the man, but I want to say a few words in tribute. Of all the popular figures commonly styled as the New Atheists, he was the hardest to pin down. He could be caustic, crude, witty, and brilliant by turns. He was a dauntless defender of free speech who never hesitated to aim a dart at the powerful or smash a sacred idol. His book about Mother Teresa, The Missionary Position, was and is the trailblazer in debunking the myths that have become … [Read more...]
Never Quote Discworld to an Atheist
The other day, I found this article from a Google alert: an essay on the religious website First Things by the author and Catholic apologist Elizabeth Scalia (who also blogs as The Anchoress).The post was about Terry Pratchett, the celebrated fantasy author and secular humanist. Since his personal beliefs come through clearly in his writing, I was surprised to find out that Scalia's a fan of his Discworld series.

How to Create (Not Find) the Meaning of Your Life
Guest post by Samantha Eliza BentenA friend recently paraphrased a statement from The Nature of Existence (the documentary, I believe, though I haven't seen it) as follows: "People should spend more time thinking about the meaning of their own lives, than the meaning of life in general."

The Greatest Joke (According to Rory Scovel)
We asked 22 of the funniest comics working stand-up today to tell us their favorite jokes. See all the Greatest Jokes Ever Told here.
A guy walks into a convenience store, and he grabs a single-serving meal, a single-serving drink, a single-serving toothpaste, a single-serving dessert, single-serving everything, and he goes up to the counter with it and the woman at the counter says, "Let me guess, you're single?" And he says, "Yeah, how could you tell?" And she says, "Because you're really fucking ugly." —RORY SCOVEL
ABOUT THE COMEDIAN: "This is a street joke I heard when I was in college," Rory Scovel explains of his selection. "I went to see a concert at a bar and the band's equipment wasn't working and they asked if someone wanted to come up and tell a joke. I'd never done stand-up or anything. So I got up and I told this joke."
Scovel, a Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian, has done a lot of performances since then, opening for comics like Louis C.K. and Daniel Tosh. He's also guest-starred on Undateable and The Eric Andre Show, and now knows just how effective the right quip can be, especially when delivered by a personable comedian. "What I try to do in my own act is to be myself as much as I can," Scovel says. "Whenever I see someone and I know where they're coming from and I can see their personality throughout the whole show, that makes any joke better. Jokes that aren't even funny can get a huge laugh because of who's saying it. That only works if you're conveying who you are onstage." He laughs and adds, "I have a lot of those jokes that are just okay. They work because people see you're having fun or you're a silly person and they identify with that."
Scovel likes to stick with personal subjects onstage, although he deals with them in broad terms. "I talk a lot about drugs because I smoke pot and do mushrooms," he says. "I follow politics in the most minimal sense so I'll have some political jokes. Anything I get passionate about I'll do. So it's personal in the sense that I'm doing them, but I don't really tell stories about my life. But it's always a better performance when you care about your subject."

Overly complex language[edit]
The purpose of the right hand rule is to make it EASY almost TRIVIAL to realise is or will happen in a situation. The language used to describe the rule is way to complex to be easily understood. This page is far from being one of the best pages on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:26, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
New diagram[edit]
The existing diagram is problematic in that the orientation of the axies is ambiguous since each is just a line. It needs something more to make them pop out. —BenFrantzDale 04:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
YES! MUCH BETTER! 188.8.131.52 21:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Screws are when I use the rule most[edit]
Vehicle: Well, on the other side of the vehicle it is different! Also mention that how some of us remember how to turn a screw is to stick up our right thumb... --User:Jidanni 2006-04-20 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 17:06, 19 April 2006
- Some but not all vehicles use lugs or bolts with left-handed threads on one side. (I presume because the torque the wheel experiences during braking can slightly rotate the wheel relative to the hub, and the resulting torques on the nut or bolt are slightly higher on their outer edges than their inner ones, due to the greater distance from the center of the axle, and it's possible for the net force to overcome friction and slightly loosen the threads; using the thread that makes braking tighten rather than loosen them prevents a dangerous accumulation of the loosening.)
--Jerzy•t 09:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Direction associated with Rotation[edit]
Change "shortest" to "shorter" and "over" to "through"
There are two and only two possible arcs for measuring the angle from a to b, one sweeping clockwise, the other counterclockwise. With only two possibilities "shorter" is the appropriate adjective. If clockwise sweep is shorter, then counterclockwise sweep is longer, and vice-versa. "through" is probably is a better usage compared to "over". Subhash 23:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Direction associated with Rotation[edit]
Add "clockwise and counterclockwise"
There are two and only two possible rotations in the coordinate planes: so at least for engineering computations, these two senses, clockwise and counterclockwise ought to be incorporated in the definition. Any one inclined to edit this out ought, in the very least state if there are more possibilities in 3-dimensional space, that is 3 coordinate planes. Subhash 00:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Applications of the Right-hand rule[edit]
Add phrase "by choosing the shorter angle, 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise"
There are two and only two choices in determining y-axis with known or arbitrarily chosen x-axis one rotating 90 degrees clockwise, other 90 degrees counterclockwise. If someone decides to edit this out, he/she has the obligation to suggest other possibilities of determining the y-axis. This edit is in preparation for adding, to this article:
"Alternate Engineering Definition of Left and Right-hand rules for orthogonal Cartesian Coordinate Systems"
and eventually add to the Cross Product article unambiguous and unique correlation between sign of torque and rotational sense, i.e. clockwise or counterclockwise. Subhash 00:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Picture and discussion both correct, but don't cohere, implying bad pedagogy[edit]
The forefinger/middle finger/thumb method is described in words as I learned it.
But the color image of the technique shows another variation, where the thumb points in direction of a. That's another correct technique,but it doesn't jive with the words in the text.
I would edit but I can't edit an image very easily.
Third application of right-hand rule?[edit]
The article mentions that there are three applications of the rule, but only seems to list two. The edit in which it was added was extremely small, only changing the word "two" to "three"188.8.131.52 05:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
"Direction associated with an ordered pair of directions" part is hard to understand[edit]
I'm trying to figure out how this rule is supposed to have a purpose. The description of how to make my right hand look like that picture doesn't seem to work out properly. If the thumb is along the a axis in the picture, how does that indicate c? What am I supposed to find out by positioning my hand and fingers this way? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 22:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
This article needs cleaning[edit]
I am not familiar enough with the topic to understand this article in its present form, let alone try and rewrite it. The stuff that is here at the moment is very technical even though it sounds like it is a technique for simplification. Could more specific used be added, as opposed to the generalisation that is present at the moment. Conrad.Irwin 11:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC) Forgot to sign
Agreed, this article is terribly written and, for such a simple topic, so confusing that it is unusable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Right hand rules[edit]
These are the four main right hand rules which we learnt in physics. theres probably more though:
1) In a wire (current carrying conductor), the thumb indicates the direction of current, and the fingers wrap around to form the direction of magnetic field.
2) In an electromagnet, the thumb points to the north side of the magnet, and the fingers wrap around to form the direction which the current flows (through the coiled wire).
3) For a wire in an extended field, or for a DC motor, the hand is stretched out such that the thumb and index finger are perpendicular. The thumb indicates the direction of of current, and the fingers indicate the direction of magnetic field. The force applied to the wire is denoted by the "slap" of the palm, that is, the direction which the palm pushes towards.
4) For a generator or a charged particle, the hand is positioned in the same way as in 3). The thumb denotes the velocity, the fingers are magnetic field, and the direction of the "palm slap" is the direction in which the positive charge flows (so if the particle is negatively charged, it moves in the opposite direction).

Merge with Right hand grip rule?[edit]
A colleague wrote at talk:Right hand grip rule
Both this page and Right-hand rule say they're "related, yet different", but not how so. In my opinion, the RHGR is just an instance of the RHR, and that should be made clear. But maybe someone had a different view of the RHGR, as it's described as "a physics principle" (which doesn't fit the "rule" part). Would be nice if someone cleared this up. 126.96.36.199 02:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me as well that unification of the two concepts is in order. In particular, i note that the RHR for the RH coord sys can be rendered, as in the accompanying article, statically via the thumb/index/middle sequence or dynamically, via a RHGR motion around the 3-fold-symmetry axis of the unit pyramid whose three edges converge at the origin and coincide with the three positive half-axes: with thumb along the symmetry axis, the fingers point the direction of a rotation of the unit pyramid in which any edge cycles from X axis to Y axis to Z axis and repeat. I'm not sure how many instances of reducing a use of RHR or RHGR to the other are useful, but one is enuf to pay off the otherwise cryptic claim "related, yet different", and eliminate a separation that, while arguably "real", is nevertheless awkward and unnecessary.
BTW, i remember in writing this that we were taught RHR as the "Right Hand Motor Rule".
--Jerzy•t 10:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- I concur with the merger. In my experience the term "right hand grip rule" isn't used much, they are both called the "right hand rule", and as Jersy says are very closely related and should be explained in the same article. --ChetvornoTALK 14:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Merge. This article already discusses several distinct applications of the human hand as a chiral reference object, consolidating here makes sense to me. Incidentally, the illustrated "grip rule" is the same as the convention for right-twist or left-twist rope/yarn. Although in that case the common mnemonic objects are the letters 'S' and 'Z', for left and right, respectively. --Dfred (talk) 17:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Split article into Right hand grip rule[edit]
Apart from the anthropomrphic coincidence that they both use the right hand, there is no reason to have these two quite distinct rules under the same article. It is significantly confusing to do so. It is particularly odd when the related left & right hand rules are in separate articles, but the quite different grip rule is merged!
The grip rule relates electrical current and magnetic field.
Fleming's right hand rule relates the induction of current due to motion in a field / (LH) the production of a force due to a current.
The use of the hand is coincidence, no more. In one case the open hand is a mnemonic for the orientation of axes in three-space, in the other a clenched hand reminds us of a helical direction. The rules don't even work unless the hand is moved from one position to another!
As the electrical principles are broadly unrelated in their meaning, there is scope for confusion. This is especially so as the rules are just about close enough to be confusable. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:36, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Picture is inconsistent with what is shown on the Cross product page[edit]
The picture on the Cross product page shows vector a as the index finger, b as the middle finger, and a cross b as the thumb. The picture on this page defines a and b differently. I believe the picture on the Cross product is more correct, and at least it seems that the two should agree with each other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bkerin2 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Replace left and right hand rules with left and right turning screw[edit]
I do not like this left and right hand rules. In order to apply them, you have to remember the position of 3 elements. When using a screw, it's quite clear where the rotation goes. So there is only one element to remember: right or left turning screw. --Huibc (talk) 16:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps the "screw" could be introduced (with a picture) as an alternate way to memorize the rule, but I think the "hand" should stay as the primary explanation, because: (1) it is usually explained that way in texts and physics classes, (2) not everyone is familiar with screws and their threads or has access to one, but everyone always has access to a hand (3) the rule is called the right hand rule. --ChetvornoTALK 07:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Please explain how can we relate a screw rule with a hand rule first. There is no way we can relate the right hand rule and the right hand grip (thump) rule. One (right hand rule) describes the direction of current produced and the other (thump rule) just describes the direction of magnetic field produced when a current moves through a coil. Both are distinct mnemonics. And I don't understand why they merged both and why doesn't anybody explain it with references! Please explain how it can be related, in the article (and on this talk page for us to discuss) with references and clear evidences.Valchemishnuʘ 12:44, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Uhnacceptable merging: Is this enough?[edit]
I was totally confused with this article, and I read the article left hand rule only get more confused.I am not able to say anything on this article.
That is why I just provide a source that may help to undo the merging of the article right hand grip rule and Fleming's right hand rule.
From NCERT Textbook for class 10, Science textbook (in English), Chapter 13 Magnetic Effects of Electric Current...
|Right-Hand Thumb Rule (page no. 228)
A convenient way of finding the direction of magnetic field associated with a current-carrying conductor is –
This rule is also called Maxwell's corkscrew rule. If we consider ourselves driving a corkscrew in the direction of the current, then the direction of the corkscrew is the direction of the magnetic field.
|Fleming's right hand rule (Page no. 235)
The induced current is found to be the highest when the direction of motion of the coil is at right angles to the magnetic field. In this situation, we can use a simple rule to know the direction of the induced current. Stretch the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of right hand so that they are perpendicular to each other, as shown in Fig. 13.18. If the forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb shows the direction of motion of conductor, then the middle finger will show the direction of induced current. This simple rule is called Fleming's right-hand rule.

Does this make it clear that these two mnemonics are different? Valchemishnuʘ 14:12, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Maxwell's corkscrew rule[edit]
There is no article on wikipedia about Maxwell's corkscrew rule. This rule is also known as the Right hand thumb rule and Right hand grip rule. However it is distinct from Flemming's Right hand rule!
Are we becoming "mergiholic" affected with merging every article? The article Fleming's Right hand rule for generator redirects to Flemmings left hand rule for motor. and describes nothing much on the former.Valchemishnuʘ 14:23, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
- I encourage you to de-merge if you see a clear need and you can build the content correctly and cite WP:RSs (which your discussion above suggests that you can). As for mergiholics, yes, I agree that we have some of those around. The only way to defend against them is to try harder than they do (in terms of content development and referencing) and to cite good sources for your rework. If you do it, and really do your best, they usually melt away into the woodwork. They don't admit that they were wrong, they just go find some other content area where they hope to put on their alleged-superiority act and get away with it without being called out and proven wrong. — ¾-10 01:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you Three-quarter-ten for your encouragement and with that I have started to collect information for it. But some of them were disappointing e.g.,[1]. But I will never give up. I know I am not alone and the whole community is along with me. And people like you are invaluable treasures for Wikipedia.ʘ 18:59, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- Per Talk:Right-hand_rule#Split_article_into_Right_hand_grip_rule above, I'd agree with you.
- I think the left hand & right hand rules can reasonably be placed together, as the underlying physics is comparable and it's just the context of motor or dynamo that differs. The corkscrew rule though is quite different. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:18, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
Electron Deflection[edit]
When impacting a magnetic field (with North up), electrons are deflected to the left as if they were being bounced off a clockwise rotating force field. Does that imply that a magnetic force line can be considered to be a clockwise rotating vortex of some material?WFPM (talk) 22:00, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
How would this be extended to 4 dimensions? Which direction would the fourth axis have to point (if there's even a reasonable way of describing that mathematically). Obviously it wouldn't be able to be represented by a hand, but what's an algebraic way of stating "right-handed system" or "left-handed system"? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 09:10, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Left-hand Rule on Right-hand Rule page[edit]
This is a page for the right-hand rule. There shouldn't be diagrams of the left-hand rules on this page, especially WITHOUT the corrisponding right-hand rule, as is with "Fleming's left-hand rule" diagram.
I suggest, to lessen confustion A new page for the left-hand rule entirely, clearing the left-hand rule off this page, and simply mentioning that the left-hand rules exist (probably in the introduction) Or, Making the page "Hand Rules", and have dedicated subsections for each rule, or each application. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:25, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
I have a strange feeling that it will take more than 100 years for scientists to be bored enough to say...[edit]
..."Let's add in K. Marinas' Two Hand Rule." I mean, in some respects, this is far more helpful approach in that you don't have to make a weird sign with your fingers, and you get to differentiate between electron current and "conventional current".
Furthermore, if you want to know the direction that current would flow if you moved the lines of a magnet perpendicular through a conductor, all you have to do imagine your thumb as being the magnetic pole, then gently contract your fingers around your thumb when moving your hand down and gently release your fingers straight when moving your hand up. As far as knowing what hand to use for a given pole (N or S) and charge (+ or -), the diagrams on the right show us how using four symbols that I like to call:
Corresponds to the traditional right-hand rule
|a curvaceous N with arrowheads at both ends
|CCW from observer point of view - Use Right Hand.
|a curvaceous S with opposing arrowheads at center
|CCW from observer point of view - Use Right Hand.
|a curvaceous N with opposing arrowheads at center
|CW from observer point of view - Use Left Hand.
|a curvaceous S with arrowheads at both ends
|CW from observer point of view - Use Left Hand.
Fortunately N is the first letter for "North" and S the first letter for "South". Had these letters been the other way, the direction would have been completely backwards. Also, had one or both of these letters had been something other than N or S, then the "Two Hand Rule" would not even exist. It's an amazing coincidence, if it is one at all.siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia

Convention vs Physical Phenomenon[edit]
At the end of the section "Direction associated with rotation", there is a paragraph stating "The right-hand rule is just a convention. When applying the rule to current in a straight wire for example, the direction of the magnetic field (counterclockwise instead of clockwise when viewed from the tip of the thumb) is a result of this convention and not an underlying physical phenomenon."
First of all, this statement doesn't fit very well under the heading of "Direction associated with rotation".
Second and more importantly, I strongly disagree with this statement. The RHR is used in physics to mimic the behavior of nature. It is not just a convention, and nature doesn't change its mind about the direction of a magnetic field just because we decide to change the convention. We use our right hand as a mnemonic to readily recall what nature does in different situations. The RHR as it's used in physics mimics nature, not the other way around. To put it another way, if you use your left hand, you will not get the same result as nature. Therefore it is more than mere convention, it is a "model" that mimics the way nature works.
For these two reasons, I believe this paragraph should be removed entirely.

Section on 'electrical wire "cutting" magnetic field lines' is incoherent[edit]
The section Right hand rules for electrical wire "cutting" magnetic field lines seems to refer to a missing diagram.

Perhaps calcium's best known role is in milk production and it is vital that lactating mares have an adequate supply. Limestone Flour is recommended as a source of calcium for those on a 'straights' or cereal based diet, particularly if bran is included, to balance the calcium to phosphorous ratio. A lack of calcium in the horse is seen as epiphysitis and weakness. Limestone Flour contains only ground limestone and is, essentially, pure calcium. However limestone flour is not recommended for youngstock, as excess calcium can lead to developmental abnormalities such as Osteochondrosis desicans (OCD).

In spite of its huge scope, rural-to-urban migration is not the main cause of urban growth. For each 60 million new city dwellers in the developing world, 36 million are born to established city dwellers. Only 24 million come from villages, and only half of these have actually migrated – the rest become urbanites because the city has expanded to incorporate their village.
In fact, arrival cities are putting an end to population growth. Some time around 2050, according to the most recent United Nations projections, the population of the world will plateau at nine billion. After that, for the first time in history, humans will stop being more numerous each year.
We have already seen this in quickly urbanizing countries such as Iran, where both rural and urban birth rates have shot down into negative territory.
Average family sizes around the world will fall below 2.1 children, and the problems of crowding and competition for resources will be replaced with the much more sustainable (though still challenging) problems of non-growing population.
Arrival cities accomplish the things that bring fertility rates down – educating girls and women, improving health and creating physical and financial security.
The arrival city is a machine that transforms humans. If allowed to flourish, it will be the instrument to create a permanently sustainable world.
When an arrival city's natural functions are blocked or interrupted, however – when its existence is challenged, threatened or ignored – it becomes a place of pent-up frustration. The inevitable conservatism of its transitional culture turns into the furious politics of lost opportunity or the religious extremism of the perpetually excluded.
We have seen terrible explosions out of arrival cities, from the French Revolution to the present: the 1979 Iranian revolution, a pure product of arrival-city neglect; the Hindu-nationalist extremism of Mumbai, born of a political vacuum in migrant slums; the menacing violence of Rio de Janeiro's rural-migrant favelas, where drug gangs took the place of an absent and hostile government.
In Europe, the arrival city has been the centre of conflict – in the flaming outskirts of Paris, the extremist fringes of Amsterdam and the impoverished, backward Turkish enclaves of Berlin.
In France and the Netherlands, these explosions were the results of physical and economic disconnections between the arrival city and the core economy; in Germany and elsewhere, they were caused by a lack of pathways to full citizenship. In both cases, new arrivals were driven into isolation.
By contrast, Canada's arrival cities have been great successes historically, as millions of rural migrants from the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean and Asia bought up unwanted row-housing stock in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto and set up classic networks of small business and property speculation.
But Canada got lucky: We had the right housing and the right economy at the right time, and we made citizenship easy, so our governments didn't really need to try.
Today, luck alone will not be enough: Our arrival cities have moved to the far outskirts of cities, where buildings weren't constructed with incoming villagers in mind and links to the core city, both physical and cultural, are scarce.
These high-rise nests of villagers could erupt into trouble if we allow ourselves to repeat Europe's mistakes – or to believe that arrival cities aren't necessary.
In this age of border controls, high-technology information economies and selective immigration policies, it is too easy for citizens and governments to believe that there should be no reason to have large masses of the developing world's rural poor camped on our urban fringes. This is a dangerous mistake.
It may be politically desirable to slow the influx of arrivals for brief periods, but in the longer term, the arrival city will be a major phenomenon in the West, and its citizens will be the same people who occupy the arrival cities of the developing world. We ought to be planning for and investing in this reality.
The first reason is economic: Countries such as Canada will experience severe labour shortages in the coming decades, especially in unskilled work.Report Typo/Error

Hi there... I am having problems with older switch models. Spiceworks do not detect any of them. Even my 2 Dlinks Switches could not see them in the Network Map.
Spiceworks suppose to be available to see them or not? Is there something I could do to make them visuable in Spice?
I am currently running an administration computer goverment boreau office in México, in Sonora actually, and I really need to see what kind of equipment I am using to try and install a new configuration (all actually, because this desing is very lousy and is an amberresment for me).
Windows 7 could locate them and he can see it (I don't know if all, but some of them).
Any help would be great.
This topic was created during version 4.7.

Check out the help section on scanning. A good place to start would be here:
May 18, 2010 at 12:32 UTC
Switches are scanned by SNMP. Read here for more: Routers & Switches
So, is it a managed or unmanaged switch?
If a managed switch, is SNMP configured? Check which community has read rights. Be sure that this community name is added in your scan accounts (http:/
Can you ping the IP address of the switch from the SW machine?
If it is a unmanaged switch, just add manually to the inventory, as SW will not detect it because it has no "IP".
May 24, 2010 at 10:38 UTC
Hi bytesnake:
Thanks for replaying my help quest... No.. My switches aren't. Even my CISCO router could not be seen in my network map.
I have looked Cole's reply but haven't found the answer in there nither... What else I have to do?
There is my problem... hehehehe
Thanks in advance...
May 25, 2010 at 12:57 UTC
Please check your scan range(s), if the IP address of your router is included and a valid scan account is assigned (maybe SNMP and SSH).
Example: If your router has the IP address 192.168.0.1, be sure that you have a scan range like this:
- 192.168.0.0/24 (all devices for the net 192.168.0.x) OR
- 192.168.0.1-254 (all devices for the net 192.168.0.x) OR
- 192.168.0.1 (just this one IP address)
May 25, 2010 at 12:07 UTC
bytesnake, hi, and thanks again...
I just put the IP range of 192.168.0.0-254 and no answer. Let me put it this way:
- I have a E1 connection via a Cisco 1800 series with the gateway address: 192.168.0.1.
- Then, that connection is thru a CNET switch and that to several computers and to other switches.
- Also, I have a 2wire router that connects a wide band connection to Internet of 4 MBits (Via telephone)
- That connection is connected to my computer and to the CNET switch. Only some people is connected with that gateway address: 192.168.0.253.
Well, with this in mind, when I scan the network, my CISCO is directly connected to the Internet cloud (0.0.0.0) and all my other resourses are connected via a single connection directly to the Internet cloud, not with a router or a switch.
All the switches have not IP address. Do you need more information? hehehehe. I could give to you if need it.
Thanks again in advance...
Hopping to still you want to help me... Thanks.
May 26, 2010 at 12:30 UTC
OK, I have no experience in Cisco. I suggest you start a new topic in http:/
But if you have only trouble with the network map, watch this videos first:
These videos are more detailed:
- Map Your Network With 4.0 [48:04]
- Mapping Your Network With Spiceworks [46:19]
- Getting a Full Inventory of Your Network [79:55]
Just for clarify, do you have your router/switches in the inventory?
SW wil show all devices from inventory in the Network Map. If a device is missing (because it has no own IP in your LAN) you can add an asset manually in the inventory or Network Map. A router has an IP address, defently. You should configure it to accept SNMP. You should also read this: How Does The Scan Work.
Hope this will help you.
May 26, 2010 at 2:30 UTC
Hi there again, good morning:
I gess like they show in the videos that the networkmap will show as many things as you have. I undertand that now. But not all of it.
There is something I do not understand and I could not find help documentation at all: why is the network cloud 0.0.0.0/0 (what is it) and where can change this values.
This is because in the map, there is no information flowing between nodes (or computers) like when you put the mouse in the lines that conects the nodes).
Thanks again, and again, and again... hehehehe
May 27, 2010 at 12:02 UTC
You should really watch the videos.
The cloud (0.0.0.0) represents the internet. In general, your router should be connected to it. After the router you should have another cloud (netaddress of your LAN e.g. 192.168.0.0).
Did you ever try to click on the line of a node? You`ll get a bandwidth chart, if your switch supports it.
May 27, 2010 at 10:26 UTC
Hi there Bytesnake... hahahahahahaha
Thanks for your advice... I have looked the videos... I know that the 0.0.0.0 was the Internet cloud. But my question were because there aren't any other cloud.
I have clicked the line and the answer was 0%, and also, the line is very thin.
As I watched the videos, if the line is thin (i don't recall how to write "thiker"...) there aren´t no moving information thru those lines. So 0% of bandwidth.
But, thanks bytesnake. I really apreciated your interest in my case.
May 27, 2010 at 11:39 UTC
Create a scan range with netaddress/subnetmask (ie. 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 or 172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0) and disable all other scan ranges. After the next full scan, do you have the cloud for your net now?
May 27, 2010 at 12:34 UTC
Hi there again:
I will try that... My actual range is 192.168.0.0/255 (I have added from 254 to 255, just to probe it).
Today I will try the range of 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 and see what it does.
Thanks again, and I will "keep in touch" (it is spelled correctly???)
May 27, 2010 at 12:54 UTC
Hi there again:
I will try that... My actual range is 192.168.0.0/255 (I have added from 254 to 255, just to probe it).
192.168.0.0/255 is definitively wrong. The part after slash (/) is the network mask - and 255 isn`t a valid subnet mask.
To limit the scan range to some IP`s use this syntax: ie.192.168.0.25-50
Thanks again, and I will "keep in touch" (it is spelled correctly???)
I think so. I`m not a native speaker. Where do you come from?
May 27, 2010 at 1:15 UTC
I am from México, en Sonora actually, right next to Arizona State. Where are you from?
I made a mistake: my scan is 192.168.0.0-255. The slash wasn´t in there. I will change to the other one you have adviced to me: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0.
May 27, 2010 at 2:53 UTC
I`m from Germany, as you can see at the banner below my picture. If you move the mouse pointer on it, it will pop up a text box with the meaning.
Good luck.
Jun 2, 2010 at 12:03 UTC
Nice to see, you filled out some profile details :-)
Jun 2, 2010 at 10:18 UTC
Hi bytesnake...
Yes. Yesterday I fill out more details about me, my self and I... hehehehe... But still, I am having trouble with my network map. I am trying to figure out my self. I guess this is out of my leguee.
I will post any changes or better results. If you hear or read or whatever related with my problem, please let me know...
Best regards.

Description: This oral history collection brings together extended interviews with fifteen women who share the common experience of homelessness. While all the interviews were conducted in Seattle, Washington between 1991 and 2008, the women's stories zigzag across the country, from Baltimore and New York City, to Louisiana and Kentucky, to Los Angeles and San Francisco. The narrators recount stories of growing up in the south at the tail end of Jim Crow, of growing up gay and Black in the Pacific Northwest in the 1960s, and of surviving childhood molestation in Harlan, Kentucky in the 1970s. The stories illuminate the part that gender roles play in ensnaring women in cycles of domestic abuse and homelessness. They speak to the physical stresses of homelessness, and the toll it takes on bodies already weakened by high blood pressure, strokes, sickle cell anemia, and epilepsy and the routine threats of physical violence that homeless women in particular encounter on the street. At the same time, however, the stories challenge liberal myths about homeless people, and homeless women in particular, as vulnerable and dependent people worthy perhaps of sympathy but judged to be socially disorganized, disaffiliated, and disempowered.

After nearly a decade leading the Donmar Warehouse, the small London playhouse that helped make him a major cultural figure in Britain and abroad, Sam Mendes is preparing his goodbyes.
''It's time for a new generation to step in and take over,'' Mr. Mendes, 36, said in his office around the corner from the Donmar, the studio in Covent Garden that he has run since October 1992. The man once described on an almost weekly basis as a British theatrical wunderkind has gone on to direct movies, winning the 2000 Oscar for best director for ''American Beauty,'' his debut film. His attention turned back to his first home, that of the stage, between trips to and from Los Angeles, where he is applying the finishing touches to a new movie.
But Mr. Mendes's heart has always been in the theater and remains there, which is why news of his intended departure from the Donmar on Nov. 30 has caused more than the usual flurry on and off the West End.
''I just want to be able to have some time off,'' said Mr. Mendes, who was more than happy to analyze the pattern that an artistic directorship can take. ''For the first couple of years, you're working out how to do it, and for those of us who have short attention spans, once you've learned how it works, there isn't that much else to do beyond, I suppose, doing the same work again.''
Mr. Mendes's announcement of his plan to leave has by no means taken place in isolation. In late September, Nicholas Hytner was named as Trevor Nunn's successor at the Royal National Theater, a post that Mr. Hytner will inherit in April 2003. At the same time, the Almeida and the Hampstead, two other significant London theaters, are actively seeking new artistic directors to replace Jonathan Kent and Ian McDiarmid, in the first instance, and Jenny Topper, in the second.Continue reading the main story
''This shifting of the tectonic plates is a wonderful thing over all,'' Mr. Mendes said. ''These are rogue theaters, and they must be able to surprise if they're to remain rogue theaters.'' And anyway, he added, ''the London theatrical landscape has been relatively becalmed for the last five years, since, perhaps, Richard left the National.' (Richard Eyre stepped down as head of the Royal National in 1997 after nine years in the job.)
The Donmar, which seats a scant 251, has regularly rivaled the much larger National and the Royal Shakespeare Company in terms of artistic authority and cachet. Hardly a major 20th-century dramatist -- from David Mamet and Athol Fugard to Sam Shepard and Harold Pinter -- has gone unrepresented during Mr. Mendes's reign. (Stephen Sondheim has had four productions.) And the roll call of performers who can attribute at least some of their career ascendancy to the tiny theater remains impressive: Adrian Lester, Mark Rylance, Rachel Weisz and Alan Cumming among them.
The Donmar's long reach has been consistently felt in New York, especially of late. In 1998 Nicole Kidman drew attention on Broadway as she had at the Donmar, assuming multiple accents and roles -- and for a nanosecond, shedding her clothes -- in David Hare's ''Blue Room.'' That same season New York theater audiences were transfixed by Zoë Wanamaker's nervy, quivering Electra, in a staging of the Sophocles play directed by David Leveaux.
''There is a huge free flow of talent coming out of England at the moment, and a lot of them have worked -- and still work -- at the Donmar, Mr. Mendes said. ''I'm very, very proud of so many of those people.'' Mr. Mendes, whose last production there was the Nick Whitby play ''To the Green Fields Beyond'' in September 2000, could have continued, directing a production every season or two. But he spoke of the advantages of having someone in situ, however energizing it clearly is for a theater to have an artistic director possessed of enormous clout both in Hollywood and on Broadway. (In New York Mr. Mendes's revival of the musical ''Cabaret,'' a show he first directed at the Donmar late in 1993, will celebrate its fourth birthday in March.)
''To run a theater you need to be around in the environment, taking pleasure in the details, in what's going on backstage,'' he said. ''You need to be out in other theaters watching new writers and directors coming through.'' And though he stands by his own pattern of ''ducking in and out'' that has enabled Mr. Mendes's freelance life to feed the Donmar directly, he has been particularly embroiled of late in ''The Road to Perdition,'' his second film effort.
''It has been uncomfortable for me because I did want to be back here more,'' Mr. Mendes said. ''I felt a little bit frustrated that I couldn't be around'' -- a situation he was able to remedy at least partly by editing the movie back in London.
Perhaps it's simply that few people as much in demand as Mr. Mendes can remain indefinitely tethered to a building, a state of affairs that the director says was possible for as long as it was only because of his artistic associate, Caro Newling, 44, who throughout his tenure has been the theater's executive producer.
''I've been absolutely blessed,'' Mr. Mendes said, ''with a person who understands the way I tick and understands the theater back to front and has been able to deputize -- more than deputize, really -- almost act as co-artistic director.''
As evidence of Ms. Newling's producing skills, Mr. Mendes cites the Donmar's 1999 revival of Tom Stoppard's ''Real Thing,'' directed by Mr. Leveaux, which went on to win three Tony Awards in its spring 2000 Broadway transfer.
''I never saw a rehearsal run-through or a first preview,'' he said. ''When I came it had already opened. I was excited and proud and thought, 'This is in the theater that I run, and I've got to be grateful to Caro for that.' '' He added that similar situations occurred ''at least three times a year for 10 years, and that to me is an astonishing track record.''
It's little wonder, then, that Mr. Mendes said he hopes to go out on a high next fall, directing ''Uncle Vanya'' and ''Twelfth Night'' in repertory with Simon Russell Beale and David Bradley, the veteran British character actor. The venture, he said, represents ''my last shows at the Donmar, and I'm intending to have a wonderful time'' working with the ''best English ensemble I could possibly find.''
Still farther ahead, this time post-Donmar, is the prospect of a West End ''Gypsy,'' starring Bernadette Peters, and the start of an independent theater production company that will have Ms. Newling on board, but not before she has seen Mr. Mendes's replacement safely into the job.
''What I'm absolutely not doing is going off just to concentrate on film, and I'm not going to America,'' Mr. Mendes said. ''I'm staying here, keeping this office and keeping myself completely involved in the London theatrical world.''
And who knows, he mused aloud, ''there might be every possibility that I start a theater again.''Continue reading the main story

BEST HURRICANES FOOTBALL PLAYER Eric Winston In a year when Hurricanes football was down (no national title contention or Heisman Trophy candidates), why not recognize the usually unrecognized: the unsung heroes of the offensive line. For all the great quarterbacks, receivers, and backs the University of Miami has produced, there's been a legacy of equally outstanding offensive linemen, including NFL first-rounders Vernon Carey and Bryant McKinnie. This year the big man on campus is offensive tackle Eric Winston. Combining athleticism (he was recruited as an RB/TE for chrissakes), size (6-7, 310), intelligence, and power, Winston was switched from tight end to left tackle as a sophomore and excelled in that extremely important position. His efforts earned him MVP honors. Winston didn't need a griddle to make pancakes as he flattened opponents by the stack. Though he was sidelined with an injury in 2004, his senior year should place him among the elite in the nation and keep the orange-and-green offense moving forward.

BEST ACTING ENSEMBLE The Constant Wife Coconut Grove Playhouse The Playhouse's hit revival had so many fine performances, it is only fair to fully credit them all. Alicia Roper was regally serene in the title role, beautifully matched by Greg Wood as her duplicitous husband, Nancy Dussault as her wisecracking mother, and Dan Olmstead as her once and future swain. Take those delicious ingredients, stir in Ian D. Clark, Susan Wilder, Ursula Freundlich, Pilar Uribe, and Dan Schiff, and out pops one tasty soufflé of an ensemble show.
BEST ACTIVITY TO DO WHILE INTOXICATED Beer Pong Hooligan´s Pub & Oyster Bar
9555 S. Dixie Highway
www.hooliganspub.com Every Thursday night at 9:00 Hooligan's offers a chance for everyone (yes, the distaff included) to get their balls wet. On one of the Ping-Pong tables brought into the pub for this event, each contestant is required to arrange ten cups of beer (sort of like bowling pins). Opponents then get on either side and attempt to bounce a table-tennis ball into the other team's hops. Each time a player scores, the other team must drink. Because a person has to be pretty much drunk before indulging in such a game, a few misses are to be expected. This makes it even more fun, seeing as the ball will no doubt end up landing on the grimy floor a few times before plopping into its intended target. The object is to make the opposing side drink all ten cups of beer -- including any carpet lint, dust, and other fluff. Yummy.
BEST ACTOR David Kwiat Kwiat's performance as the dying oddball physicist Richard Feynman in QED (at GableStage) was in production a full year ago. Award competitions such as the Oscars often have short memories in such cases, but all these months later Kwiat's funny, touching portrait of one man's search for peace and meaning still resonates, an exceptional example of an exceptional actor's style: understated, deeply felt, and fully alive.
BEST ACTRESS Angelica Torn No doubt about it. This year's nod goes to Angelica Torn, who tore up the stage in her fierce, memorable portrait of poet Sylvia Plath in EDGE at the Coconut Grove Playhouse. Torn used a deliberately off-putting, disconnected persona to portray the troubled writer. But her flat, atonal vocal delivery and disheveled demeanor masked a volcanic emotional life that erupted in brief spasms of sudden anguish. The result was indelible: frightening, sarcastic, pitiable, courageous.
BEST AM RADIO PERSONALITY Bishop Victor T. Curry WMBM-AM (1490) Imagine your average radio talk show. A couple of hosts prattle on about the news, sports, and entertainment while occasionally taking calls from agitated listeners. Now imagine that wrapped in scripture and gospel music, and you'll have the wonderful Morning Glory show, which airs weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. with an extra two hours added on Tuesdays. Especially when it comes to controversial subjects, it's easy to get riled (a number of callers certainly do) and say to yourself, I wish I knew more about scripture so I could actually argue with the good reverend. That's the point.

The weather radar used by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Paducah Kentucky, KPAH, will be down for approximately four days beginning Monday July 10th for technicians to install an important technological upgrade. The work on the WSR-88D has been scheduled to minimize any potential impacts to office operations. During the outage, radar coverage is available from adjacent radar sites including Owensville Indiana (KVWX), Ft Campbell (KHPX), Louisville Kentucky (KLVX), Memphis Tennessee (KMEG), and St Louis Missouri (KLSX). A crew will install a new signal processor, which replaces obsolete technology, improves processing speed and data quality, provides added functionality, and supports IT security. This is the first of four major upgrades, known as the service life extension projects, planned in the next five years to replace and refurbish major components of the 20 year old WSR-88Ds and to keep the radars operational into the 2030s. The $150M investment is being made by the three organizations that use these radars, the NOAA National Weather Service, United States Air Force, and Federal Aviation Administration. The other service life extension projects include refurbishing the transmitter, pedestal, and equipment shelters. $$

Is Minecraft A Minefield Of Privacy Concerns?
The 3-D block-building game, Minecraft, doesn't look like much at first glance, but did you know that if your children don't pay close attention, they could build themselves a world of privacy concerns? Just tell them that creepers, spiders, skeletons and zombies aren't the only threats they have to worry about, and watch how quickly they pay attention.
What's The Big Deal?
Following are some things parents should know before allowing their children to play Minecraft in multi-player mode:
- Children interact with players they don't know (many of whom could be older) when playing in multi-player mode, with their activities taking place on private servers; anyone can set up a server, anywhere;
- Private, unmoderated chat feature that could easily expose your children to inappropriate conversations, profanity, or chat spamming;
- Aggression in the form of cyberbullying or "griefing," which involves destroying what other players have built, or exposing them to inappropriate structures
- Social engineering where other players attempt to gain your child's trust
Things You Can Do At Home To Protect Your Children
- Have your child play in single-player mode off-line, and use your good judgment to decide when to allow them to interact with players they don't know; remember, no two children are alike;
- Don't allow your children to play unsupervised; if possible have them play in the same room you're in, e.g. the kitchen or living room;
- Turn-off the "chat" feature in settings, if they do play in multi-player mode;
- Review online safety and privacy concerns with your children so they know not to share any personal information online, e.g. name, email address, gender, age, where they live or go to school, or any other identifying information that would enable an identity thief or anyone else from guessing their identity;
- Double-check to make sure your child's username is fictitious;
- Engage your children by genuinely showing interest in how they play and ask; questions; if they know you'll talk about Minecraft, they're more likely to talk to you about more important things, too.
Common sense dictates that parents set limits on screen time. The good news is that games such as Minecraft help children develop their creativity and problem solving skills. All we need to do is remind them that as easy as it is to turn pigs into pork chops and cows into steak, is how easily they can divulge their personal information while playing in multi-player mode; all it takes is a few keystrokes.

Wow! This place is lousy! I'd spent the two previous nights at other La Quinta's (Twin Falls and Moab) while driving from Oregon to Texas and this basically *is* a Motel 6. It's right off I-40, which is convenient, but the neighborhood is shady and there's no where to take my dog to go to the bathroom. There's a residential neighborhood behind the hotel, so I had to walk her around there. As a single woman traveler, I didn't feel 100% safe here. If I hadn't been with my dog, who's very protective, I wouldn't have stayed. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean. It definitely have a nicer feel than a Motel 6, but the doors are on the exterior of the building and it just didn't seem like the safest area. Kind if disappointed in La Quinta for this one.

Ok so I've been looking for as complete as possible listing of low glycemic fruits and veggies. All of the sites I have looked at list about 10 to 15 of each and consider corn, beans peas etc... as veggies and canned peaches as fruit. None of 'em even list avocado.
Does anyone have a link or 2 they would share? I'm trying hard to live as primal as I can but I'm wondering if some of the stuff I'm eating is counter productive, if I'm getting too much of some, or eating them at the wrong time.
Been primal for about 6-8 weeks now and feel like I should have lost a little more than I have. Maybe not. I don't have a scale but have gained back 2 holes on my belt and need to punch another now. Anyway, back on track. Any links would be greatly appreciated. Also if someone could share a way to search this forum for posts or subjects that would be really cool too.

Garlic-Free Ketchup
Recipe by Nyteglori
For those with garlic or onion allergies. Most ketchup has some onion and garlic in it. Even those that don't label onion and garlic separate sometimes lump it in with spices. Omit the onion powder if you are sensitive.
Top Review by kiwidutch
Lovely recipe! I did find that the smell of molasses is quite strong and it kind of dominated a little so next time I make this I think that I will try golden syrup and see if the result tastes as good. Otherwsie I was delighted that I could make a ketchup free of preservatives and "E" numbers and that it was quick and easy to make. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for a great taste, but I will expeiment a little with this becuase the molassas tended to be a touch overpowering. Thanks !
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 dash pepper
- 1 dash celery salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Add all ingredients to a bowl; stir until fully combined. Add to a ketchup container for "normalcy" if desired (you can purchase a squeeze bottle), and store in the fridge.
- Note on the hot sauce you need to be careful of the same problems as ketchup. Apple-cider vinegar based hot sauces are your best bet to avoid garlic.

Today we would like to feature one of our newest clients. Matcha Connection – MatchaConnection.com
Reina Williams contacted us about an idea that she had for a website that would share her passion for Matcha green tea.
She wanted to share with the world this wonderful tea that had its roots in China and Japan, but recently had been making a huge dent in the United States.
Reina had little experience in digital marketing and was not very savvy with social media marketing either.
We met with Reina and got a feel for what she was trying to do and together we agreed on a plan of action that would have us here at Atilom creating a mobile responsive, WordPress website along with a social media presence that Reina could use to share and promote her website.
Reina would be responsible for creating the content for her website ans Atilom would be responsible for the structure and for training Reina on how to use WordPress to continually update her site.
The results have been impressive as Matcha Connection is currently moving up the Google rankings and is on the second page for many of our target keywords.
As Reina continues to add high quality content to Matcha Connection and continues to build its social media presence, its Google rankings will continue to increase and the site will begin to make money.
Reina has chosen the Amazon Affiliate program to monetize Matcha Connection and has already begun to make sales. As she continues to build out her business, traffic will increase and so will her Amazon sales.
Another suggestion that we have for Reina is to begin to build an email list that will allow her to market directly to her visitors through email.
We want to thank Reina for her business and we ask you to head over to Matcha Connection and see what a digital marketing agency like Atilom can do for your business!

Many vaunted programs still alive

The Wildcats won the 1997 title by beating Pitino's Kentucky team in Indianapolis, where they will face Pitino's Louisville team.

During the last 12 years, every Spartan who has stayed in school for four seasons has appeared in the Final Four.

UConn is 38-12 in Sweet 16 appearances under coach Jim Calhoun but went 4-14 in 13 NCAA tournaments before Calhoun took over.
No. 5 Purdue (27-9)
In the Boilermakers' last 10 tournament appearances, they have reached the Elite Eight twice.
No. 3 Missouri (30-6)

No. 4 Xavier (27-7)
The Musketeers are one of nine teams with multiple Elite Eight appearances in the last five years (2004 and '08), joining North Carolina, UCLA, Kansas, Memphis, Louisville, Texas, Florida and Connecticut.
No. 3 Villanova (28-7)
Seniors Dwayne Anderson, Shane Clark, Dante Cunningham and Frank Tchuisi have recorded 100 career wins, the most by any class in the program's 89-year history.
No. 2 Duke (30-6)
Krzyzewski became the winningest coach in NCAA tournament history last week with 71 wins, passing Dean Smith's 69.
No. 1 North Carolina (30-4)

No. 4 Gonzaga (28-5)
The Bulldogs appeared in their 12th consecutive West Coast Conference tournament championship this year, the second-longest streak of reaching a conference tournament final to Kentucky's 14 in the Southeastern Conference.
No. 3 Syracuse (28-9)
The Orange has reached the Sweet 16 for the 14th time in 26 trips to the NCAA tournament under coach Jim Boeheim.
No. 2 Oklahoma (29-5)
This marks Oklahoma's 27th postseason appearance—22 NCAAs, five NITs—in the last 28 seasons, tied for the most in the nation over that span.

ASHLEY HALL: An Australian holidaymaker abducted by a criminal gang and held in a remote jungle in Ecuador says she feared for her life during the ordeal.
Louise Wilde and a British woman were snatched during a canoe trip in the northeast of the country.
It's an area the Foreign Affairs Department says is too dangerous, and the women should not have gone there.
Peter Lloyd reports.
PETER LLOYD: Shaken but unharmed, Louise Wilde spoke from the safety of a military base in the Ecuadorian capital, Quito.
LOUISE WILDE: We were very scared, but we could often hear the helicopters above us, and that was very comforting while we were in the jungle.
PETER LLOYD: The ordeal began last Friday. The 32-year-old was travelling in a canoe as part of a group of seven tourists, accompanied by two local guides. They were exploring the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve.
It is a protected area of Amazonian tropical rainforest. Brochures describe hiking, paddling and swimming with dolphins. None mention the proximity to the Colombian border means the presence of lawless kidnap and ransom gangs.
For reasons that have not been explained, only Louise Wilde and a British woman were taken.
The remaining travellers alerted the authorities, prompting a big air and ground search by the Ecuadorian security forces. Louise Wilde says the operation put a lot of pressure on the kidnappers.
LOUISE WILDE: When they got, the helicopters got right above us, the kidnappers made us hide under bushes... and they got, the kidnappers got scared, and they were, we think, close to maybe killing us. And then for some reason they changed their mind and told us to run.
PETER LLOYD: And run they did, waving their arms until a chopper spotted the pair. Within minutes a ground team intercepted them.
LOUISE WILDE: There was a hundred army people. We were surrounded and taken and felt very, very safe very, very quickly.
PETER LLOYD: With Colombia to the north, Peru to the east, Ecuador is a relatively small South American state, heavily reliant on the income generated by adventure tourism.
The scale of the operation to rescue the two Westerners highlights the government's commitment to protecting its vital interests.
The pair was flown from the jungle to Quito in the president's jet. It was the Ecuadorian government that provided the pictures and this interview with Louise Wilde.
She was wearing military clothing. Interior minister Miguel Carvajal was by her side in almost every picture.
MIGUEL CARVAJAL (translated): From 11am they released them because of military and police pressure. Around 260 men from the armed forces, 150 police officers and three helicopters were involved in the operation, which allowed a fast and strong response, which obviously resulted in the two women being with us here in Quito, safe and sound. We will continue operations with all our force in certain areas of the country so that this does not happen again.
PETER LLOYD: Before the rescue, Foreign Minister Bob Carr was saying the area of Ecuador where the women were abducted was not safe.
BOB CARR: Australian travel warnings make the point this is not safe territory, it is underpopulated, it is remote. We are hoping that we can get some good news, but the border area has criminal activity, including kidnapping.
PETER LLOYD: Australia's closest embassy is in Chile. A diplomat is flying to Quito to give consular assistance.
ASHLEY HALL: Peter Lloyd.
