Quebec City
Earth : North America : Canada : Quebec : Central Quebec : Quebec Region : Quebec City
Quebec City (French: Québec) [53] is the national capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. Located at a commanding position on cliffs overlooking the St. Lawrence Seaway, Quebec City's Old Town is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only city in North America (outside Mexico and the Caribbean) with its original city walls. Quebec is a city of about 700,000 residents.
Quebec City is the capital city of the province of Quebec (though it is referred to as the National Capital in the province). Much of the business here is of the administrative and bureaucratic nature, which would normally make a city quite dull. Fortunately, the city has a remarkable history, as the fortress capital of New France since the 16th century. Although the town's day-to-day life leaves things a little yawny at times, the vibrant historical centre makes for an incredible visit.
Quebec was first settled by Europeans in 1608 in an "abitation" led by Samuel de Champlain and celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2008. The generally accepted dates of Champlain's arrival in the city are July 3rd and 4th and were marked with major celebrations. The area was also inhabited by Native peoples for many centuries before the arrival of the Europeans, and their ongoing presence has been notable since then.
Founded by the French to make a claim in the New World, the name Quebec originally referred to just the city. It is an aboriginal word for "where the river narrows" as the St. Lawrence River dramatically closes in just east of the city. It is situated on 200 foot high cliffs with stunning views of the surrounding Laurentian mountains and the St. Lawrence River. Under French rule (1608-1759), the major industries were the fur and lumber trades. The French lost the city and its colony of New France to the British in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759. Much of the French nobility returned to France which resulted in British ruling over the remaining French population. Fortunately, the rulers of the colony allowed the French to retain their language and religion leaving much of the culture intact. The 1840s saw an influx of Irish immigrants during the Potato Famine. Due to cholera and typhus outbreaks, ships were quarantined at Grosse Ile to the east of the city past l'Ile d'Orleans. The bodies of those who perished on the journey and while in quarantine are buried there. The city remained under British rule until 1867 when Lower Canada (Quebec) joined Upper Canada (Ontario), New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to form the Dominion of Canada.
French is the official language of the province of Quebec though in the tourist areas of Quebec City English is widely spoken as a second language by almost all of the staff. It is also not unusual to find Spanish, German and Japanese spoken in many establishments in Vieux Quebec. Outside of the tourist areas, some knowledge of French is advisable and perhaps necessary, depending on how rural the area is you are visiting. It should be noted that while older locals will struggle when attempting to sustain a discussion in English, most youths under 35 should be able to speak conversational English. Less than a third of the overall population is bilingual French/English.
In French, both the city and the province are referred to as "Québec". Which is meant is determined by context and by the convention of referring to the province with the masculine article ("le Québec or au Québec") and to the city without any article at all ("à Québec"). This may lead to confusion when following provincial road signs as the City of Quebec, (Ville de Québec) is referred to only as Québec in official signage.
Orienting yourself in Quebec is fairly easy. Many sights of interest are in the Old Town (Vieux-Québec), which constitutes the walled city on top of the hill. Many surrounding neighbourhoods, either in Haute-Ville ("Upper Town") or in Basse-Ville ("Lower Town"), are of great interest : Saint-Roch, Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Montcalm, Vieux-Port and Limoilou. Haute-Ville and Basse-Ville are connected by many staircases, all of which are unique, such as the aptly-named Escalier Casse-Cou ("Breakneck Stairs") and the more easily climbable "Funiculaire".
The city spreads westward from the St. Lawrence River, for the most part extending from the original old city. The true downtown core of Quebec City is located just west of the old city. Across the river from Quebec City is the town of Lévis. Frequent ferry service connects the two sides of the river.
Visitor information
Get in
By plane
Jean Lesage International Airport (IATA: YQB)[54]. About 20 min from downtown Quebec, it offers regular flights from cities such as Montreal, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Ottawa, Philadelphia, and Paris and also provides charters to remote areas of the province such as Kuujjuaq, Gaspé and Baie-Comeau.
Please note that there is no public transit or hotel shuttles to the airport, except an RTC public bus 78 Printed schedule that goes to and from the airport only a few times a day ($2.75). The taxi fare from Old Quebec to the airport is a flat fee of $32.50 to downtown.
By train
A passenger train station is found at the port of Quebec, 450 rue de la Gare du Palais. The Quebec VIA Rail [55] station is a picturesque building, emulating the architectural style of the famed Chateau-Frontenac overlooking the station. The Quebec-Windsor corridor trains run regularly, with stopovers at Montreal and Toronto.
Another train station is in Sainte-Foy, 3255 chemin de la Gare, near the Quebec and Pierre Laporte bridges. However, public transit does not run there as often as the Quebec station and this station requires walking for a couple of minutes.
By bus
The bus station, Terminus Gare du Palais located at 450 rue de la Gare du Palais, is located at the old port of Quebec, next to the train station in the same building. Intercar [56] and Orleans Express [57] offer services province-wide.
Another bus station is in Sainte-Foy, 3001 chemin des Quatre-Bourgeois, which is easily accessible by city transit.
By car
Quebec City is 2.5-3 hours by car from Montreal on either Highway 40 or Highway 20 (north and south side of the St. Lawrence, respectively). Both routes are rather monotonous drives through endless forests dotted with farms. For a slower but more picturesque tour of Quebec's heartland, drive along the Chemin du Roy (Highway 138), which follows the north bank of the river instead.
By boat
A seasonal cruise operates during the summer months between Montreal and Quebec City. The one-way trip takes approximately 7 hours and is slow-going, but the views make it worthwhile.
Get around
On foot
Walking is a great way to get around the Old Town, as the compact layout makes distances short. You will see beautiful old buildings and little vistas around every corner. You will get exercise. Do be careful of uneven cobblestones and narrow streets, though.
Côte de la Montagne is a steep, winding street that connects Upper Town and Lower Town. If you get tired, use the Funiculaire to go between the upper and lower parts of the Old Town. $2 per person will get you from near the base of the Breakneck Stairs (l'Escalier Casse-Cou) back up to the front of the Chateau Frontenac. It is well worth it if you have small children or large packages.
Many intersections are set up with separate traffic signals and cycles for cars and for pedestrians. At one point in the cycle, all traffic lights turn red and all pedestrian signals turn white, meaning that you can cross the intersection in any direction. Yet when the traffic light is green and the pedestrian signal is red, you may find cars turning in front of you. Some intersections have a pedestrian button to activate the signals, and you will never get a pedestrian cycle unless you push that button.
By bike
The bicycle network of Quebec City has been growing slowly but steadily for the last decade. Although small compared to the extensive utilitarian network of Montreal, it now offers a few recreational bike paths called Corridors[58] with complete bidirectional and segregated bike lanes beginning downtown and ending in the countryside, generally giving splendid views of the area on the way. Most of them are part of the Route Verte [59] system of provincial bike paths.
Corridor des Cheminots is a peaceful trail that runs from the Old Port to Val-Bélair, which continues on to the Jacques-Cartier park area. Even though it can be a challenge because of its long uphill slope, it (obviously) is a breeze on the way back.
The eastern section of Corridor du Littoral leads to Chutes Montmorency. This one-hour route (2 hours both ways) runs along the St. Lawrence River, unfortunately hidden by the Dufferin Expressway. By crossing under the expressway, you can make brief stops at the Baie de Beauport recreational park and the Battures de Beauport vista point for restrooms and views on the river. Keep some of your strength for the stairs up at Chutes Montmorency: the view is well worth it.
The western section of Corridor du Littoral leads to the award-winning Samuel-de-Champlain promenade. This time, no expressway stops you from having spectacular views on the river and you might even enjoy some nice contemporary architecture on the way. Restrooms and a cafe can be found at the end of the promenade. 1½ hour both ways.
The Parcours des Anses is in Lévis, across the river. Cross with the ferry for $3 (an experience in itself) and bike west on the south shore until you reach the Quebec Bridge and cross back on the north shore to connect with the Samuel-de-Champlain promenade and Corridor du Littoral. Crossing the Quebec Bridge is not for the faint of heart though, as it is the longest cantilever bridge in the world and the path is narrow. That said, this route is the most rewarding of all and will take you a whole afternoon to complete. Part of the route on low-traffic streets still lacks a proper bike path.
The city offers maps of its bicycle paths online[60] They are open from April to October.
By car
Driving in the Old Town can be tricky, since the cobblestone streets were designed for narrow 17th-century horse carts rather than 21st-century SUVs. One way streets abound throughout the Old Town, and parking is difficult to find. Be aware of parking signs and ask locals to ensure parking regulation is understood. Parking patrols are effective and unforgiving.
Outside of the Old Town, the use of a car is recommended. Right turns on red are allowed unless otherwise indicated.
During the months of November through April, snow will definitely affect driving conditions. Snow tires are required by provincial law between December 15 and March 15 for all vehicles plated in Quebec as some roads will lack snow removal, sand or salting. Vehicles plated in the US or in other provinces are not subject to this requirement.
If snowfall occurred recently, watch out for red flashing lights. It means snow removal is underway. Cars parked on the street will be fined and towed. Parking in an underground garage is advised.
By public transit
The RTC [61], Quebec's public transportation system, is a system of buses and express shuttles that cover the whole city. Tickets cost $3 each, which will earn you the right to ride one direction with a transfer valid for two hours. As paper tickets are not available anymore, you cannot buy them in advance unless you have an OPUS card. 1, 2 and 7 day passes (2 for 1 on weekends) and monthly passes are also sold in licensed stores across town. Free for children below the age of 6. Drivers do not carry money and cannot change bills so do carry exact change - to buy your ticket you place the money in a cash drop box at the entry of the bus. Google Transit can be used to find the best itinerary.
Four of the bus lines are frequent-service lines called Metrobus. They are served by recognizable green and grey articulated buses. 800 and 801 both start in Ste-Foy, head toward the Old Town, and end in Beauport and Charlesbourg respectively. 802 starts at Beauport to Belvedere, through Limoilou and Saint-Sauveur. 803 runs along Lebourgneuf blvd and connects with the Galeries de la Capitale terminus. They can run as often as one every three minutes during rush hour.
The Ecolobus line stops at most of the sights and hotels of the Old Town and is only $1. A short electric bus, it connects with both the ferry and Metrobuses. It runs every 20 minutes.
The STLévis, Lévis's public transit [62], operates within the south shore of Quebec. There is also a shuttle from St-Augustin to Quebec. These different transit companies all pass through Quebec City, which explains the different colours of buses around town.
By boat
From Quebec to Lévis, the ferry costs $7 for a car (including driver) and $3.10 for pedestrians and cyclists, and takes approx 15 minutes, all year round. There are departures every 20 minutes at peak hours, 30 minutes off peak. It gives the best view in town.
Quebec City's main sight is the Old Town, the upper part of which is surrounded by a stone wall built by both French and British armies. It is now a tourist district with many small boutiques and hundreds of historical and photographic points of interest. Some of the buildings are original structures, while others are built in the same style and architecture as former buildings.
Québec is a great city for going out to dance traditional and nuevo-Argentinian Tango. You can find out about classes, practicas, milongas and events at the local association [64] or at L'Avenue Tango [65].
Quebec City's Old Town, especially Basse-Ville, is riddled with shops for tourists. Watch for leather goods and various handmade crafts made by Canada's First Nations Peoples.
All restaurants in the Old City will post menus out front in French and in English. Look for the table d'hote specials for a full course fixed price meal. On the cheaper (but very satisfying) side, have a traditional tourtière québecoise (meat pie), or a poutine (fries, gravy, and cheese curds).
The café culture is very much a part of Quebec City as in most of Europe. It should be very easy to find a quaint cafe around Marche Champlain, and around the Chateau. Food is fairly expensive in Quebec, and even a simpler café or bar may be costly.
Most Quebec City delicatessens and markets offer a large variety of Quebec cheese from farms in the surrounding countryside. Specialty of the region include brie or camembert style cheeses made with raw milk (lait cru), which endows the cheese with superior flavors and textures not usually found in North American cheeses of the same type.
There is a place for nearly every visitor, from the wild nightlife to the cozy corner. Drinking age is 18 though enforcement is hazy.
Quality wine and liquor can only be purchased at SAQ shops, most of which are open until 6PM Sunday - Wednesday and 8 or 9PM on weekends; the smaller SAQ Express outlets are open daily from 11AM to 10PM, but the selection is restricted to the SAQ's most popular items. Beer and a small selection of lower-quality wine are also sold at convenience stores (dépanneurs) and grocery stores (not what youwould usually bring to a dinner party but sometimes drinkable-—it has been imported in bulk and bottled and sometimes blended in Quebec and known as "piquette" by the locals). All retail alcohol sales stop at 11PM and bars and clubs stop serving at 3AM.
There is only one SAQ within the walls of the old city, a SAQ "Selection" inside the Chateau Frontenac. It has high-end wines and liquors, a small selection of other liquors and no beer. A SAQ "Classique" with better (though still small) selection is located just outside of the walls on Rue St-Jean on the south side of the street.
During the frigid Carnaval, a local specialty known as caribou is available to warm you up (did you know that those canes they sell are hollow?). Though the mixture varies with what is available, it tends to be port or red wine with a hodge-podge of liquors, normally vodka, brandy and perhaps even some sherry.
The Grande Allée has most of the city's clubs & youth-oriented bars and spots:
La Rue St. Jean, beyond the city walls on the west end, is where travelers will find the best pubs in Québec, as well as some smaller dance clubs:
Spread throughout Old Québec are many upscale bars and jazz clubs. Search out the hotels, as they typically have the best venues for jazz and music at night.
Stay safe
The level of violent crime and homicides in Quebec is far lower than almost all other large cities in Canada or the USA.
For twenty months, between November 1st 2006 and July 14th 2008, the city of Québec reported no homicide on its territory.
During the day, you should have no fear about traveling around the city; but at night, there might be the usual drunk bar patrons and those who prey on people unfamiliar with where they are. Take the usual precautions to protect yourself and you should be fine. However, the city is very safe for solitary female travellers.
The organization ZAP Québec [71] provides free wireless Internet in cafes and other locations throughout the city.

Unless they have a loved one in the military, most people don't realize the issues soldiers face — on the battlefield and when they return home, says Dolly Moore, broker/owner of Home Selling Service.
Unless they have a loved one in the military, most people don't realize the issues soldiers face — on the battlefield and when they return home, says Dolly Moore, broker/owner of Home Selling Service.
"I think unless you've got somebody over there in the war, people don't really pay attention," she said, adding that she has a grandson, Jason Simmons, who completed a tour of duty with the Army in Afghanistan and will be redeployed in May.
To help support returning soldiers, Moore decided that Home Selling Service will donate money for every home sale the business has from now through March 31 to Wounded Warriors In Action, a national nonprofit organization that serves the nation's combat wounded and Purple Heart recipients by providing outdoor sporting activities,
"I think anything that serves our men in action who have come home is good," Moore said. "A lot of guys are coming home wounded, and they have post-traumatic stress disorder, and something like Wounded Warriors In Action really helps them, in my mind, and it really helps give back to the soldiers and makes them feel like somebody really cares."
Her business will donate $1,000 to WWIA for each buyer, in the buyer's name, for each house sold with a sales price of $200,000 or higher. Houses sold for under $200,000 will generate a $500 donation in the buyer's name to the organization.
If the "Giving Back" campaign is well received, Moore added that she will consider extending it past March 31.
"All indications are that it is going to be a good year with more sales," she said.
In Henderson County, the housing market between 2011 and 2012 saw a 37 percent increase in the number of homes sold, area Realtors said. Another trend for 2013 will be a markedly reduced inventory of available homes.
A 24-month supply of homes that Henderson County saw three years ago has shrunk to a 10-month supply. An inventory level of a six-month supply or less is considered in the industry to be a seller's market, Realtors said, but potential home buyers are aided by the continued low interest rates.
Nationally, U.S. home sales last year rose to 4.65 million, up from 4.26 million in 2011, the highest total since 2007, according to the National Association of Realtors.
For more information about participating in the program, contact Moore at 828-230-7550.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes pens a rant on Windows 8, calling it 'awful': "I'm now ready to sum up my Windows 8 experience with a single word: awful. I could have chosen a number of other words - terrible, horrible, painful and execrable all spring to mind - but it doesn't matter, the sentiment is the same." I've been using Windows 8 Release Preview on both my ZenBook and my regular desktop since its release, and here's my short review: "I like it." Issues a-plenty, but for what is essentially a 1.0 release - not bad. It's a hell of a lot better than other releases which were similar in scope (Mac OS X 10.0, KDE 4.0).

Do they sound solid when you thump 'em?
We can picture the common media depiction of the person shopping for fruit at the market, and attempting to determine which one to buy. Either by rapping it, or shaking, or squeezing. As if there some way, other than looks, by which a person can tell if fruit is more ripe.
When a person becomes a Christian they do not receive a special tattoo, or secret decoder ring, or any other observable effect by which we can observe and exclaim, "That person must be a Christian, because they can perform the secret hand-shake." Human believers look exactly like human non-believers. Christians, of course, would explain that the difference is in a person's soul—something that cannot be perceived by our five senses.
But does the Bible teach that the change in the spiritual entity has a necessary effect on the physical person in that we can obtain the ability, just by observation, to determine which persons are Christians?
I was informed elsewhere, as I was commenting on Christians, that I was "looking at the wrong Christians." My first thought was, "What Christians am I supposed to be looking at? How do I know which group is the incorrect one to watch, and which one is the appropriate one?"
Without going through an in-depth study of the salvation process, the base requirement is to believe that Christ was raised from the dead and confess that Jesus is Lord. (Rom. 10:8-11) Belief generates results. It manifests itself in action.
If I shout, "FIRE!" in a movie theater, those that believe my simple statement react. While the belief may be unfounded (there may not be a fire) there is no difference in the depth of the belief, nor the person's reaction. Fire or not, if a patron is convinced there is one, they will necessarily respond to it.
However, if I shout "Fire!" and people lazily turn their heads, shrug and go back to munching popcorn, a strong case could be made, that they do not believe me, just by their reaction. Would anyone seriously claim, "Oh, they truly believed you in their heart a fire was happening in that theater, but because they are human, reacted like most humans do in movie theaters and kept watching the movie"?
James is transparent that Christian belief will necessarily result in a demonstration of activity. The famous "Faith without works is dead." James 2:14-18
Paul is clear that prior to becoming a Christian, a person would act in one fashion, and afterwards, as a manifestation of that belief, a person would act otherwise. As a child, in Sunday School we were taught the fruits of the spirit:
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Gal. 5:22-23
Paul goes on to indicate that those who are identified with Christ (i.e. Christians) have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Immediately prior to providing us with the fruit of the Spirit, in verses 19-21, Paul has contrasted with the works of the flesh, being adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like.
It is obvious. "Here are the works of the Flesh. Here are the works of the Spirit. You are now in the Spirit. You have killed the desires of the Flesh." Gal. 6:7-8. In case the point is not patently clear, Paul reiterates that those who practice the works of the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God.
While the Bible is indistinct as to the exact meaning of the Kingdom of God, I doubt anyone will claim that a Christian is a Christian and NOT inheriting the Kingdom of God.
Paul develops a penchant for lists.
In Romans 1 he indicates that certain persons know there is a God, but worship the creature rather than the creator. That God will give them over to a debased mind, to do those things that are not fitting. Again, he trots out the traditional laundry list of items: sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, and unmerciful. (Rom. 1:28-31)
I am not the only person to notice Paul making these distinctions. The author of Colossians, in replicating Paul's style also trots out a list of their own. Again, we read what a person did before Christianity is different than what a person does after. Col. 3:8-10 The author provides the now-familiar list: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, covetousness, anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language and lying. (Col. 3:5-9) And reproduces the good list: tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, bearing with one another, and forgiving one another. (Col. 3:12-13)
Following the traditional formula, the author of Ephesians, likewise, indicates recognizable change upon this change in the soul (Eph. 4:22) and likewise replicates the customary list. Bad: Lying, unresolved anger, stealing, corrupt language, bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, malice, filthiness, foolish talking, coarse jesting, fornicating, uncleanliness and covetousness. (Eph. 4:25-5:5) Good: kind, tender-hearted, forgiving, loving, goodness, righteousness and truth. (Eph. 4:32-5:9)
Even the author of 1 Timothy has to get into the act, and points out how Paul was only a blasphemer, persecutor and insolent before he believed. (I Tim. 1:13) And, of course, out comes our faithful list, although he does seem to kick it up a notch: murderers of fathers, murderers of mothers, manslayers, fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine. (I Timothy 1:9-10)
All right. I get it. I get it, I get it, I get it. (They seem to like to repeat, so perhaps I must as well.) Before: you do bad things. After: you do good things. This should be an evident change. Something that I see a person acting a certain way, I can confidently place them in either the "Before" picture or the "After" picture.
But is that what we see?
"Lying" seems to consistently appear. Rev. 21:8 states that anyone who lies will not enter Heaven. It is on every list except Galatians. Plain as the nose on your face—lying is in the "Before" picture.
Houston—we have a problem. Christians lie. Lotsa Christians lie. If I am looking at the wrong Christians, can someone point me out to a Christian that does not lie? Ever? Is there a person, believer or not, that will dare comment that they have not lied in the year 2006? One?
Yet I thought "lying" was on the "Before" list? What went wrong? How can an "After" do a "Before"? Now, I can already envision fingers poised over keyboards, itching to type that these lists do not say a person in an "After" will never commit a "Before." I am sure pages are being turned to 1 John 1:8 which states that even believers will continue to sin, and (in supreme irony) if they claim they do not sin, they are liars. Which is a sin. Worse, a sin of the "Before" kind.
O.K. Let's assume I am being too literalistic and legalistic by demanding a bright-line division in the "Befores" and the "Afters." That there is some wiggle room that allows an "After" to commit a "Before."
Then explain the purposes of the list. Why do the authors continue to state that prior, these things are done, and those that practice them are not in the kingdom of heaven? After they are not. "Ah," you may say, "The key word is 'practice.' It is not a sin of one occasion, but a perpetual lifestyle."
Sorry, lived too long. Have you lied in 2006? 2005? 2004? Do I need to go back? Have you been lewd (whatever that means) in 2006? 2005? 2004? What about strife, dissension, selfish ambition. Not a selfish act in 2006? 2005? 2004? No pride?
What I see, in humanity as a whole, are occasions of lying, strife, pride, and selfish ambition. According to the list, all you "Afters" aren't allowed any of that. I see it on repeated occasions. If that ain't "practice" I do not know what is.
And if these become guidelines; suggestions, then we have taken all the teeth out of their purpose in the first place. Who couldn't figure out that murdering and lying is bad, and treating others with respect is good? Knock me over with a feather that someone comes up with that! Thank goodness the authors of the New Testament came along, because without them, no society had EVER been able to quite manufacture the concept that stealing might be a bad thing to do, and charity might be a good thing to do.
Imagine if you and your friends were creating a list of morals. Is it any surprise that much of those list(s) would conform on items such as murder, stealing and lying, with an occasional offshoot of perjury or clamor? And if the same group put together a good list, that it would include love and mercy?
What makes the Bible even remotely unique in that the authors of the various books could do so likewise? If we are to hold the Bible as the only communication from God, should we treat it differently, or the same? Should these lists, unlike any other set of lists ever created, actually have some teeth in them? That when it says, only "Befores" do these items, it means only "Befores." Or are Christians going to tell me that these lists, like every other moral list ever given, are guidelines, suggestions, in that humans should do more "Afters" and less "Befores"?
I am genuinely curious—what makes these lists unique to Christianity? If they are not, then why should I consider the God of Christianity unique?
Further, these verses claim that because they are Christians their actions have changed. In every person that claims being a Christian, at the least we should see a vast difference (if not a complete elimination) between the occurrences of "Before" and "After."
It may be pointed out that there certainly are a number of Christians that committed heinous "Befores" and upon converting, stopped. Became "Afters." It may be pointed out that THESE are the Christians I should be looking at.
However, in any division of society, we find people a certain percentage of people who commit more "Befores" a certain percentage who commit more "Afters" and a great many who commit a spattering of each. We can divide it up by religion, race, culture, country or even hair-color. I could say that some red-heads commit more "Afters" and therefore red-headism is a life-changing event, as long as we look at only those certain red-heads.
I am told that the God of Christianity is the only correct one. Hence unique. I am informed that belief in that God will result in life-changing events. But what I see is humans. Humans that, regardless of belief or non-belief in any particular god, acting in a similar fashion. Nothing unique about it at all.
Even Christ indicated there should be difference in belief. He noted that non-believers can love those that love them. Luke 6:32 What is the credit or surprise in that? You want to see something different? What to see something "Christian"? Love your enemies. Now THAT is something that would make Christianity stand out, right? Luke 6:35.
Unfortunately, just like any other religion, race or creed, we find some humans that are able to love their enemies, and some that are not. Some claim to be Christians, some are red-heads. There is no divine spark, no noticeable difference in Christians that makes other religions stand aside and say, "Nope. We don't love our enemies. Only Christians do that. Nope. We lie. Only Christians don't lie."
What I seem to be told is that I have shouted "FIRE" and all the Christians really, truly believe me, but just like the rest of the humans in the theater, some leave, and some stay. In trying to look at the "right" Christians, I catch quite a few non-Christians in my gaze.
On a personal note, if these lists are to be indicators of a soul-change, they have no depth with me. I recognize within myself the same actions, the same temptations, the same internal strife dealing with these items as before. I have never murdered. Not "Before" not "After" and not "After-After." I have pride. "Before" "After" and "After-After." Now I may be informed that means I was never a Christian in the first place. Equally, it could mean I am still a Christian.
Or most likely, it means I am human. A list which is neither surprising nor unique, does not demonstrate belief.
And, for those concerned, this is an academic discussion, so any responses that disagree with my position, I will not consider "dissension, strife, or contention." Just in case you fear the temptation of committing a "Before." *smile*

In my last post about Espley Hall I said that I thought the building was now being used as a wedding and meeting venue. Fortunately I had a comment added to my post by someone who has personal knowledge of the hall.
Although I haven't got an exact date it seems that Espley Hall might have been built about 1864. The first census record I can find is 1881 in the civil parish of Highlaws Low and High, near Morpeth, Northumberland. The head of the house is Charles Bulmer, aged 26 and described a Gentleman Farmer. He is living with his wife Mary Ann and their daughter Mary (4). Also there is his brother in law Frank H Ralphs (retired farmer) and his wife. There are four servants – cook, housemaid, laundry maid and nurse.
The Bulmers are still there in 1891 and Charles is described as "Living on his own means". They have three more children – Charles (9), James Muir (8) and Ellen (6). The brother in law and his wife are still there but now described as Fred Henry Ralphs and Grace Murray Ralphs. They continue to employ four servants – cook, nurse, housemaid and general servant.
In 1901 the head of the house is now George B Bainbridge. I understand he is from the dynasty that started Bainbridge Department store in Newcastle – now part of the John Lewis empire.
Anyway George is 50 years old described as a landowner and director of public companies. He is living with his wife, Catherine and three children – Cuthbert (26), Mary F (21) and Geo. A (19). They must have needed more looking after because there are six servants – cook, two housemaids, laundry maid, waiting maid, and kitchen maid.
The census for 1911 shows George, Catherine and Cuthbert are still living at the hall. They now have eight servants for thee people (very Downton Abbey)- cook, waiting maid, two house maids, two laundry maids, kitchen maid and scullery maid.
I understand that the Bainbridge family sold the house and the estate sometime in the 1940's. Since then it has had several owners including the Sanderson's, a prominent local family who opened Sanderson Arcade in Morpeth. Later owners of the hall ran it as a private restaurant and wedding venue between the early 1980's and late 1990's.
There seems to have been various renovations over the years and the former servant quarters in the East Wing have been converted into a separate house sometime in the 1970's. There are a number of other houses:-
Espley Hall – the main body of the house
The West Wing
Courtyard Cottage
2 Espley Court
Butchers Cottage
I am grateful to David Bawn who posted the comment on my blog and for his background information.

(part 4)
Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.
Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.
Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player.
Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.
Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.

1969 Topps StampsThis was Topps 3rd stamp issue in the last eight years and it was a good one !!! The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue . For a nickel you got a strip of twelve stamps plus a mini album. The 1969 Topps Stamps complete set contains 240 stamps. The 1 x 1-7/16 inch stamps were unnumbered and featured a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored banner at the bottom of the stamp. The stamps were released in both vertical and horizontal strips of 12 stamps. The 1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue. The 1974 Topps Stamps have ovals rather than banners at the bottom and were released only in 12-stamp horizontal panels.
Along with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 albums, one per team, to store them in. The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" orange albums were the same size as a baseball card and held a complete 10-stamp team set. To add even more collecting fun, the album's back cover had facsimile autographs of the ten players shown in the album.
The 1969 Topps Stamps set is packed with stars like Pete Rose along with tons of Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente & many, many more !!!

Come on Shaz, get with the hate program! Hee hee ...
9ers are a division rival, they are now the gold standard for the division and looked upon as one of the top teams in the NFL. Our guys need to see cracks in the foundation.
I would give both QBs another season before deeming them the truth. The interception yesterday by Kaep was a hiccup, but he seemed to have kept his cool pretty well. And I am not sure whether a TD took 2 to 3 plays or 18 makes a big difference. Shows more that you can make the big play consistently. Sure, if you score 31 and have milked most of the clock, maybe Brady cannot do the 28 pt comeback but who would turn down the scores?
I like our guy, seems the 9ers like theirs. Also looks like Harbaugh navigated a potential landmine with his decision to go to Kaep. Just makes his fans that much more confident in his leadership.

NEW YORK (AP) - January 7, 2013 --Lindsay Lohan's attorney predicts there will be no case against the actress in connection with an alleged fight at a Manhattan nightclub.
Attorney Mark Jay Heller spoke after signing paperwork at the courthouse Monday.
Office of Court Administration spokesman David Bookstaver confirmed that a criminal complaint has not been drawn up at this time. The district attorney's office said only that the investigation is continuing.
Lohan was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor assault in the Nov. 29 incident at the club Avenue.
The "Mean Girls" and "Liz and Dick" star allegedly struck a woman in the face during an argument.
At the time of her arrest, her attorney, Heller said Lohan was "a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame."

If the nation's second largest retail pharmacy company buys land at the junction of Kingshighway and Bishop Avenue, the Planning and Zoning Commission is OK with a replatting of the property to clear the way for construction.
If the nation's second largest retail pharmacy company buys land at the junction of Kingshighway and Bishop Avenue, the Planning and Zoning Commission is OK with a replatting of the property to clear the way for construction.
"This is the location of CVS," Community Development Director John Petersen told the Planning and Zoning Commission late Tuesday afternoon after acknowledging "rumors have been going around."
The property in question on the northeast corner of Kingshighway and Bishop Avenue, the current location of Blockbuster Video and Papa John's Pizza in one building and Century Signs and Ozark Embroidery in another building.
"All the buildings will be removed," Petersen said, adding that this does not include the furniture store to the east.
That is assuming CVS Pharmacy buys the land.
"They're in the process of buying it," Petersen said.
"They haven't bought it yet."
CVS, through Carlson Consulting Engineers Inc., a Memphis, Tenn., firm, asked for a change in the platting of the lot.
Carlson's request was "to approve the final plat of Bruss's 1st Addition, a minor subdivision, part of Block 11 and 49, of Bishop's 4th Addition."
"This is not technically a subdivision," Petersen said.
The purpose of the plat was to make the property one lot instead of several.
"This gets rid of interior lot lines, creating one solid lot," Petersen said.
Zoned a highway commercial district (C-3), the property consists of 1.23 acres.
Petersen said the Development Review Committee met Jan 29 to review the plat. Rolla Municipal Utilities requested water frontage fees and the Public Works Department requested corrections to the subdivision plat along with land development permit fees.
The development staff recommended approval by the commission.
Although the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the plat to the Rolla City Council, Petersen said that recommendation would not be forwarded to the council until CVS closes the deal on the property.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is a review and advisory board for the Rolla City Council. If that CVS purchase does not come about, the file will be closed, and the recommendation will not be forwarded, Petersen said.
Voting for the recommendation of the plat were Commissioners Janese Martin, Monte Shields, Greg Sawyer, Russell Schmidt and Robert Anderson. Don Brown, Jack Morris and Dennis Bennett were absent; Paul Stigall is the chairman.
Kyle Williams, an engineer with Carlson Consulting Engineers, attended the meeting. He declined to speak to the newspaper regarding possible construction of a CVS store here, saying he was uncertain about how much authority he had to divulge information.
Second in size to Walgreens, which also has a store in Rolla, CVS was founded in Lowell, Mass., in 1963. It is headquartered in Woonsocket, R.I.
It has grown steadily since its founding with jumps in the number of stores throughout the year by purchasing other chains such as Revco, Peoples Drug, Eckerd, Osco Drug and Sav-on Drugs.
The company has also made news with some questionable practices over the years. Information about these controversies is available in news organizations archives on the world wide web.

Many have whispered since this blog's inception that Mr. D'Amato was pulling the strings for some unseen political opposition to the Lighthouse Project. I never saw it, and the former Senator was rarely mentioned save for a Newsday article that claimed a falling out with Charles Wang as a result of Mr. Wang's refusal to hire D'Amato's brother, Armand.
That's all changed as of yesterday, when Mr. D'Amato took to the pages of the LI Herald to criticize the Lighthouse Project and advocate the casino fantasy as a workable solution.
Unfortunately for Mr. D'Amato, there are some holes in his logic. This in particular is my favorite:
In my opinion, in today's economy, [a casino on the Coliseum site] makes a lot more sense than the previously proposed Lighthouse Project. For six years, real estate developer Charles Wang, the majority owner of the New York Islanders, has been pressuring elected officials from the Town of Hempstead and Nassau County to authorize this $3.7 billion project.Mr. D'Amato is a savvy politician, and he is carefully framing this issue in a way that is, in my opinion, not accurate. Nassau County voted in 2006, by a margin of 16-2 (with current County Executive Ed Mangano in the majority), to name the Lighthouse Development Group the developers of the Coliseum site, fulfilling a vision put forth by former County Executive Tom Suozzi. Politicians at all levels, from Gov. Paterson to both U.S. Senators to every member of the Long Island congressional delegation (except for my representative, Peter King), have come out in favor of this project. It is also supported by a record number of citizens.
The Town of Hempstead, according to numerous sources who were familiar with the negotiations at the time, has refused to meet with the Lighthouse to discuss their vision for the site since 2003, citing conflicts of interest that were never there. This position is of course made more laughable since the Town has now "jump-started" the Lighthouse process and is working on its own competing proposal. It has long been a position of those opposed to the Lighthouse that this is Charles Wang's whim and he is desperately fighting to get elected officials to buy into his vision. The facts, including initial conception by Tom Suozzi and prior approval by Nassau County, do not support this assertion.
D'Amato cites the colleges directly adjacent to the Coliseum property (Hofstra University and Nassau Community College) as reasons why the Lighthouse Project should not be built, using the classic bogeyman of traffic. This would be fine, if not for the fact that a casino would likely bring in more traffic at less regular times of the day. In addition, as my friend B.D. Gallof reported last week, Gamblers Anonymous has reported large spikes in gambling addiction among college-aged Long Islanders, an issue that would almost certainly be exacerbated by having a large casino literally a stone's throw from college campuses.
To make matters more interesting, D'Amato acknowledges the need for mass transit at the site even if a casino is built, thus provoking the same opposition from communities such as Garden City who would seemingly prefer nothing done with the site than a light rail coming within 300 feet of homes. In addition, unlike the Lighthouse Project, which is positioned to be an economic catalyst for the region, casinos are largely self-contained and usually result in property values dropping between 10-20% in the surrounding areas. I can't imagine a scenario in which the neighbors would stand for this. Mr. D'Amato calls the casino "creative," but let's get real: casinos are the cheapest revenue grab in the book for a government. Mangano's proposal betrays a stunning lack of creativity and a surprising tone-deafness for the needs of the area.
Mr. D'Amato also fails to acknowledge his own role in the current state of both Nassau Coliseum and the Islanders. D'Amato is the person who engineered the arena deal with SMG, a deal widely regarded as the worst in sports history, that has bled the County and the Islanders of millions of dollars since its signing. Mr. D'Amato is also the person who convinced hockey neophyte Charles Wang to purchase the Islanders, citing fan passion and the guarantee of a new arena/Coliseum land development to offset the costs. It's disingenuous to suggest Mr. D'Amato is merely a concerned observer in this process.
The former Senator also trotted out one of the more popular Town of Hempstead talking points (which is only fitting for a former Town Supervisor): financing...namely, Charles Wang's supposed complete inability to obtain it. This has been a major talking point since the beginning, with the issue of potential financing from China brought up with sneering derision at the 9/22 re-zoning hearing.
First off, this is a simple economics issue. As a friend who works in finance told me, Charles Wang could not be blamed for spurning banks that would not provide financing in favor of banks that would. In addition, why would Charles Wang continue this farce if he wasn't able to gain the financing to do the project? Why did a source tell me Scott Rechler was incensed at the news of the casino "plan"? Why isn't the Lighthouse more openly seeking other options? Why are people connected to the project continuing to insist that things are still on and they are waiting for the Town's response? It doesn't make any sense.
There's a first time for everything....I agree with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on the financing issue. If the Town is so convinced that Charles Wang is bluffing and can't get the financing, Green-Light the Lighthouse Project. Make the Lighthouse prove that they can come through, and place the burden of the project's ultimate success or failure squarely on the shoulders of Wang and partner Scott Rechler.
Interestingly, these aren't my biggest issues with Mr. D'Amato's self-serving piece. I'm far more concerned with the fact that the former Senator did not disclose information that could help readers better understand his position. First of all, Mr. D'Amato did not disclose his previous relationship and subsequent falling-out with Charles Wang, something that could absolutely influence his position on the Lighthouse.
There are other interesting connections. Mr. D'Amato is Chairman of a pro-poker special interest group called the Poker Players Alliance, which seeks to "protect the rights of poker players." The former Senator is also reported to have paid Ed Mangano a visit in the County Executive's office around the time of the casino announcement, and representatives from D'Amato's lobbying firm, Park Strategies, have been actively involving themselves in this issue. Given this information, I think it's fair to ask whether Mr. D'Amato's advocacy for a casino stems from something in addition to the reasons he laid out in his piece.
In the same vein, sources continue to whisper behind the scenes of a deep connection between Mr. D'Amato and the Shinnecock Nation. We have not been able to confirm or deny these rumors, but they persist, and I will continue to search the back channels for information. It's important to determine whether the former Senator is merely a concerned citizen, or whether he would stand to gain more deeply from the approval of a casino.
Bottom Line
We have truly entered the silly season now, with odd pieces of information percolating from all sides. Charles Wang and the Lighthouse continue to be silent, ceding the floor to a suddenly-silent Town of Hempstead and a Nassau County that seems to be living in a state of suspended reality.
Once again, Long Islanders in general, and Islanders fans in particular, are becoming pawns in a tit-for-tat between political and business forces with their own interest. Mr. D'Amato's self-serving op-ed represents his first true emergence from the shadows and adds him to the silliness that is emanating from Ed Mangano of late and the Town of Hempstead since, well....forever.
Long Island will lose if we leave these individuals in charge of our future. We are and should be the final voice for these matters, and we must take a stand to re-assert our belief in the Lighthouse Project, our rejection of this casino fantasy, and the ultimate potential of Long Island's future.

Terrebonne is lacking in permanent housing and basic social services for homeless, advocates say. And the upshot may be worse.
Terrebonne is lacking in permanent housing and basic social services for homeless, advocates say. And the upshot may be worse.
"There is a need in the community for those who are homeless," said Willie Green, regional director of Gulf Coast Services, a nonprofit social-service agency that helps combat homelessness.
"The problem in Houma may not be as large as it is in some of the other larger, urban communities, but it is still a need. And many people that are living in this area may only be one or two paychecks away from homelessness themselves. So it's a problem that we should all focus on," he said.
Gulf Coast provides homeless services through transitional-housing programs, called Moving Upward, which serve about 1,000 people each year, Green said.
The agency also provides vouchers for temporary stays at local shelters such as the Bunkhouse near downtown Houma's Twin Spans and through local motels it has agreements with.
Though Green said homelessness throughout the state has stabilized after some of the destructive hurricanes and the BP oil spill in the past few years, resources for social services are becoming scarce.
Because of state budget cuts, Gulf Coast is in the process of transitioning two of its permanent housing programs for disabled homeless to other agencies, Green said.
"We're no longer able to provide all of the cash matches that's required to operate those programs," he said. "And our (Transitional Living Program) was not renewed this year, which means we are unable to serve the homeless and runaway youths formally served under those two programs."
Although the agency is federally compensated, Green said what the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides only covers about 75 percent of what's needed to properly operate programs. Gulf Coast is responsible for the remaining 25 percent.
A 2011 Gulf Coast survey that provides a snapshot of local homeless and is performed nationally among communities with HUD programs counted 265 homeless people in Terrebonne. The 2013 survey, called a Point-in-Time Survey, is expected to begin next month, Green said.
"There is a shortage of slots for the total number of people who may be homeless in the community, which is a trend nationwide." Green said.
With the assistance of Houma Police Sgt. Bobbie O'Bryan, who helps run the Bunkhouse, local homeless activists Jerrie Hawkins and Gail Van Doorne were able to get a mentally challenged homeless man — the subject of a Jan. 14 story in The Courier — into a behavioral-health facility in Baton Rouge.
Zack Scott, 57, who is mentally unstable, was evicted from Senator Circle, a public-housing subdivision in east Houma, for missing a rent payment.
The former housing manager, Troy Johnson, is advocating for the now-homeless man's return, but the housing director who evicted him and fired the manager has refused.
Hawkins and Doorne said they're confident about finding Scott permanent housing when he has to leave the Baton Rouge facility within 30 days.
The same, however, can't be said for others, Hawkins said, and that's a growing problem.
"If something isn't done to combat homelessness here, Houma will become a little New Orleans," Hawkins said, referring to New Orleans' homeless rate ranked second in the nation, according a 2012 National Alliance to End Homelessness study.
Hawkins said the available public housing and mental health services in Houma is lacking, which is a recipe for chronic homelessness.
Nationally, the overall level of homelessness remained essentially the same from 2011 to 2012, with the number of homeless individuals falling slightly and the number of homeless families increasing slightly, according to an annual HUD report last year.
The report, however, suggests the numbers were due largely to local governments identifying vulnerable people and intervening to prevent them from becoming homeless by helping them find and pay for places to live.
To get a referral for public housing, one must first acquire a referral from a mental health agency.
"That's the first step," Hawkins said. "But the problem lies in the wait time between the initial assessment and seeing a psychiatrist. No housing facility will take a mentally-ill homeless person without medication."
The only place to go is the Bunkhouse, Hawkins said. The church shelters are typically full.
Roy Matherne, 50, and several other homeless people who gathered Friday at Court Square in Houma, said the Bunkhouse is great for a meal and other basic services. But they said they don't like to stay overnight because of illicit activity such as drug use that occurs. O'Bryan couldn't be reached for a response.
Matherne said he hasn't been homeless very long and is having a rough go at it. He said he's trying to piece his life back together after his wife died and then his kids left him after Hurricane Katrina.
He has his Transportation Worker Identification Card required for maritime workers so he can work on the ships and said he's filled out 30 applications.
"I'm a real good deck hand," Matherne said. "I'm a real good engineer. I know everything about diesel mechanics, but it's just tough out here. It's real hard to find a job. I'm sleeping underneath the overpass. I look so rough. Who's going to hire me?"
Hawkins said temporary solutions to combat homelessness aren't going to solve anything.
"There has to be a way those with the grant money — the higher-ups, I call them — can come to the streets and collaborate with those of us who do the footwork. We are the ones out there going under bridges and going to the other hotspots where the homeless hang out. But we can't do it without the help from those with the resources these people desperately need."

USB printer on LS Pro V2 with 1.15 firmware
Step by Step Guide
I tried to explain each step so these instruction became pretty long. The actual setup actually does not take very long.
1) update linkstation to stock 1.15 firmware from Buffalo:
direct link:
Use Buffalo instructions to update. I did not have problem using my wireless connections, recommended is a wired connection.
The firmware adds timers to the web interface (sleep at night), and is maybe faster (?). Probably a good idea anyways to update to the latest product firmware.
2) use acp_commander to reset root password
Follow instructions here:
use firmware 1.11-1a instructions.
The instructions are very detailed and therefore long. The process itself is quick and fun because you gain a lot of power.
I installed the addons with acp_commander. The included wget does not work for me on the LS. Not a problem, since I use my laptop to download anyways. Then just move files to the LS samba share "share" which is /mnt/disk1/share on the LS. I actually made a new directory /mnt/disk1/operator as a place to put files (It was then picked up automatically by samba or some daemon and made available as a share via samba).
3) telnet in and enable sshd
actually part of instructions above. I use the much recommended putty as a telnet and ssh client:
Reboot to make sure that ssh and/or telnet works.
4) replace stock kernel with 220.127.116.11 kernel to get usb printing
This is more exciting since now you are about to leave the coziness of the company approved environment somewhat. The kernel available at
ftp://ftp.dmik.org/pub/common/buffalo/lspro/duncan_h/kernel-22.214.171.124-lsp_eabi-dh_v4.tar.gz (seems offline)
http://download.discountnetz.com/kernel/kernel-220.127.116.11-lsp_eabi-dh_v4.tar.gz (other source)
is still compiled from the Buffalo LS kernel sources, so is still a 2.6.16 kernel. It has a lot more functionality enabled including a lot of kernel modules such as usblp.ko and enabled usb printing. The thread at
discusses recompilation efforts,
is where this recommended kernel appears in the discussion.
discusses it among other kernels as well, specifically at
Installation boils to downloading the package, moving it over to the LS, to say /mnt/disk1/operator/kernel1, then unpacking it:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/kernel1# tar xzvf kernel-220.127.116.11-lsp_eabi-dh_v4.tar.gz
This produces a boot directory which has the kernel and a lib/modules directory which has the kernel modules.
Then one needs to replace the kernel by copying the new kernel to /boot, moving the original kernel out of the way, and symlinking uImage.buffalo to the new kernel:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/kernel1# cp boot/uImage-22.214.171.124-lsp_eabi-dh_v4 /boot/ root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/kernel1# cd /boot root@LS-GLE1D:/boot# mv uImage.buffalo uImage.buffalo.fw115 root@LS-GLE1D:/boot# ln -s uImage-18.104.22.168-lsp_eabi-dh_v4 uImage.buffalo
Double check to make you did not mistype something, otherwise the new kernel will not be found at boot time, and the machine cannot boot.
By symlinking the new kernel it is easy to go back to the original kernel when necessary.
Finally one needs to also copy over the modules
root@LS-GLE1D:/boot# cd /mnt/disk1/operator/kernel1 root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/kernel1# cp -pr lib/ /
The -p flag is for preserving permission (and dates) based on the assumptions that the permissions were done correctly in the download package. (The -r flag stands for recursive and is necessary in order to copy whole directories).
5) reboot: the moment of truth
You can just type reboot at the prompt. You machine will go through its stop scripts (eg. you loose the connection) and reboot.
The machine should come back up and beep. It takes maybe a minute.
6) modprobe usblp
Now you have a usb printing enabled kernel. To actually enable usb printing one must load the usblp kernel module with modprobe:
root@LS-GLE1D:~# modprobe usblp
Check that it loaded with lsmod:
root@LS-GLE1D:~# lsmod Module Size Used by *usblp 12160 0 appletalk 32464 20 psnap 3268 1 appletalk llc 6132 1 psnap
(* added for emphasis)
Connecting a USB printer and loading the module creates a device at /dev/usb/lp0 .
Test by:
root@LS-GLE1D:~# cat /dev/usb/lp0 cat: /dev/usb/lp0: No such device
If this error message appears you do not have the device and you cannot print. Either there is no usb printer connected or the module is not loaded. Instead, there should be no error message. For me the command clears the screen because the printer sends some control character.
Now you could start sending data to printer directly. Eg. you could print to a file with the windows printer driver, move the file to the LS, and cat it to the device to check if it does something, possibly print.
root@LS-GLE1D:~# cat printed.prn > /dev/usb/lp0
(I sent a wrong file to the printer and it started to spit out empty pages ..)
7) install lprng (from .tgz but just lprng not web stuff)
Let's not use samba printing because it just adds complexity and windows actually includes a good lpr for printing to a lpd. This way we remove a layer which make it less complex and therefore easier to understand. Also, it works well. The idea is to pass through without filters (which otherwise are a convenience feature for unix printing) data from the windows printer driver to the USB printer via lpd. lpd listens on port 515 for data requesting print jobs and then jumps into action. It forwards data to the printer and also does accounting which I do not really need.
Get the package from
Put it on the LS, say on /mnt/disk1/operator and unpack it.
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator# mkdir lprng-withweb root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator# mv lprng-withweb_2.04.tgz.gz lprng-withweb/ root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator# cd lprng-withweb/ root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# tar xzvf lprng-withweb_2.04.tgz.gz
The instructions on
unpack right in the system root /. Let's do it more carefully. I will leave out the included web interface because it does not work for firmware 1.15 and is not really useful to me. The printer should just work when I connect it to the LS.
a) install binaries by copying them over to standard directories.
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# cp -ipr usr /
The usr directories have all the executables and libraries and we can just copy them over. The -i flag makes sure we do not accidentally overwrite system files., and -p preserves permission (and symlinks).
b) install config files by copying them over to standard directories.
I did not want to overwrite the default samba init script smb.sh, so let's rename first the provided smb.sh and then copy.
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# mv etc/init.d/smb.sh etc/init.d/smb.sh.lprng root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# cp -ipr etc /
Again, we do not need a modified smb.sh but let's have the provided one there in case we want it later.
We could also copy over the man pages but since man is not included in stock it does not make a lot sense. One can always use google to read man pages.
c) setup directories
We could use the included lprng-enable.sh script to set up directories but let's do it step by step. The script first sets up the device directory but it should be already there by default:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# ls -la /dev/usb/lp* crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 180, 0 Dec 8 2006 /dev/usb/lp0 crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 180, 1 Dec 8 2006 /dev/usb/lp1 crwxr-xr-x 1 root root 180, 2 Dec 8 2006 /dev/usb/lp2
By default the /dev/usb/lp* devices have 755 permissions as shown above. Change those to 777 permissions to allow access by all users:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# chmod 777 /dev/usb/lp*
Alternatively, instead of changing the permissions to 777, change the ownership of the device files to daemon:daemon as in:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# chown daemon:daemon /dev/usb/lp*
These permissions should be safer as now only root and daemon can write to the device (print). lpd is run by user daemon, so lpd printing will work.
Then the scripts creates spool directories for lpd, so let's do that:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# mkdir /var/spool/win /var/spool/tmp /var/spool/samba
/var/spool/tmp and /var/spool/samba are for samba printing which we will not use but let's create the directories anyways for future use.
Then the script opens up wide the spool directories and /dev/null, so let's do that, too:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# chmod 777 /var/spool/win /var/spool/tmp /var/spool/samba root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# chmod 666 /dev/null
I am not sure if that 777 on the spool directories is necessary and checkpc does complain:
root@LS-GLE1D:/mnt/disk1/operator/lprng-withweb# checkpc Warning - owner/group of '/var/spool/win' are 0/0, not 2/2 Warning - permissions of '/var/spool/win' are 0777, not 0700 Warning - lp-ps: CATASTROPHIC ERROR! queue 'lp' also has spool directory '/var/spool/win'
This also shows that the included printcap file is not valid. It will still work but one should remove the second queue (lp-ps) or point it to another spool directory. Edit the printcap file in /etc/lpd/printcap and copy it to /etc/printcap to make the changes permanent.
If you run "checkpc -f" checkpc will attempt to fix problems. Here, it will change the owner of the spool directories to daemon:daemon which is (presumably) preferable to root. And the command will also change the permission to 700 which works just as well at least if you do not use samba.
d) edit init scripts a bit
The only change I made to the provided /etc/init.d/lprng.sh script is to add a line to modprobe usblp. This way we do not need to modprobe manually each time after a reboot. I did not find another obvious place in the firmware where modules are loaded on boot. I put the line in the start section where to me it makes the most sense. One could also remove it again in the stop section but removing it does not gain anything except for a bit of memory. Modprobing after it is already loaded does not seem to hurt.
#Let's check about melco if [ $printer = off ] ; then /usr/bin/logger -t ${tag} -p ${facility} 'Not started lpd' exit 0 fi # Start daemons. echo -n "Starting lpd: "
#Let's check about melco if [ $printer = off ] ; then /usr/bin/logger -t ${tag} -p ${facility} 'Not started lpd' exit 0 fi #AP: load module here because nowhere else is obvious modprobe usblp # Start daemons. echo -n "Starting lpd: "
Use vi to edit. (In vi use the arrow keys to navigate, press "i" to insert text or delete text with backspace, press "ESC" to get out of edit mode, and press ":wq" to write the file and quit.)
Going through the script now again, I found that the stop script does not work with the default busybox ps. Edit the script so it reads PSHOWALL="".
To automatically start the script at boot also edit /etc/init.d/rcS and add lprng.sh to the scripts in section 3:
echo "** step3 **" for cmd in recover_shareinfo.sh micon_setup.sh atalk.sh ftpd.sh httpd.sh smb.sh clientUtil_servd.sh lsprcvd.sh daemonwatch.sh cron.sh logchkd.sh checkconfig.sh init_sem.sh sshd.sh do
echo "** step3 **" for cmd in recover_shareinfo.sh micon_setup.sh atalk.sh ftpd.sh httpd.sh smb.sh clientUtil_servd.sh lsprcvd.sh daemonwatch.sh cron.sh logchkd.sh checkconfig.sh init_sem.sh sshd.sh lprng.sh do
e) edit configs
The scipts are setup to look into /etc/melco/printer to check if printing is switched on. I guess that is how the web interface can control the setup. Let's just edit the file by hand, with vi, or with sed:
root@LS-GLE1D:~# more /etc/melco/printer printer=off printername=lp
root@LS-GLE1D:~# more /etc/melco/printer printer=on printername=lp
In my case I cannot see a situation where I would want printer=off.
I also edited /etc/lpd/lpd.conf to keep the spool directory from growing too much in size:
# Purpose: keep the last NN done jobs for status purposes # default done_jobs= 1 (INTEGER) # Purpose: keep done jobs for at most max age seconds # default done_jobs_max_age= 0 (INTEGER)
# Purpose: keep the last NN done jobs for status purposes # default done_jobs= 1 (INTEGER) # AP: repeat to make sure it is set done_jobs=1 # Purpose: keep done jobs for at most max age seconds # default done_jobs_max_age= 0 (INTEGER) #AP: to make sure that things get removed done_jobs_max_age= 7200
The lpd.conf edits are optional and there many more settings which might be useful.
8) start up lpd with init script
After installation we can now start lpd:
root@LS-GLE1D:~# /etc/init.d/lprng.sh start Starting lpd:
check with ps if lpd is running:
root@LS-GLE1D:~# ps ... 15592 daemon 444 S lpd Waiting ...
9) set up windows printers (clients): XP: print service for UNIX; Vista: LPR and LPD options
Now, the last step is to set up new windows printers. In windows language these will not be network printers but local printers with a special port. For some reason a standard tcp/ip port in lpr mode (port 515) does not work. One needs to use special LPR ports. In windows7, Vista and XP these need to be enabled first. In windows7 and Vista this option is very hidden:
Windows7: control Panel - programs - programs and features - turn windows features on and off - print services: LPD print service and LPR port monitor on
Vista: control Panel - programs and features - turn windows features on and off - print services: LPD print service and LPR port monitor on
In XP the equivalent is here:
First install print services for unix following this MS Knowledge article:
Then enable the service:
control panel - network connections - advanced - optional networking components - other network file and print services - print services for unix
After enabling one now has the option to connect a new local printer to a new LPR port. The IP adress of the LPR port is the IP address of the LS in your network, and the queue name is "lp" (as defined in /etc/printcap)
Use the default windows printer driver for your printer. Some printer apparently need special advanced settings such as "start printing after last page is spooled" and "enable bidirectional support". For my Brother HL 2040 the defaults worked. For my Canon Imageclass MF4350d printer the defaults also simply worked.
This is now a not so rough guide with pretty detailed instructions. It looks long but the explanations take up most of the space.
10) raw printing, cups
Since lprng also supports "raw" printing using port 9100 ("socket") as a special queue (?), it seems it might be possible to use the standard tcp/ip port in windows and avoid lpd/lpr print services enabling. Something to keep in mind in case MS gets rid but not worth changing if the setup is working.
cups would be interesting for "driverless" printing (eg. google cloud printing) since then cups would provide its own driver. It can be installed with optware quite straightforwardly. However, not all printers have cups drivers, especially under arm. In particular the Canon Imageclass MF4350d printer is not supported at all since Canon uses there its proprietary UFRII language for which it only provides binary x86 drivers.

Townsend voters elected two political newcomers and one incumbent to town council on Saturday.
Townsend voters elected two political newcomers and one incumbent to town council on Saturday.
New Castle County employee Lorraine Gorman and business owner Rudolph "Rudy" Sutton Jr. each won office in their first foray into politics, while John Ness, a project manager at JPMorgan Chase, won a third term to the seat he's held since 2009.
Gorman led all candidates with 82 votes, followed by Ness who earned 62 votes and Sutton, who garnered 58 votes.
They beat out former town councilwoman Sandra Sturgis, who won 50 votes, and incumbent Town Councilman Dwain Haines, who picked up 49 votes.
Each of the 116 voters who participated in Saturday's election – including seven who voted by absentee ballot – was allowed to choose three of the five candidates, with the top three voter-getters winning office.
Those voters represent about 39 percent of the 299 people who registered prior to the April 19 deadline, or about 9 percent of all Townsend residents 18 and older.
"It feels really good right now," said Sutton, whose 8-vote margin of victory represented about 7 percent of the total ballots cast. "I'm ready to hop on board and make things happen I just want to say thank you and tell everyone how much I appreciate their support. I promise I won't let you down."
Sutton also offered congratulations to Gorman and Ness, neither of whom could be reached for comment Saturday.
Haines and Sturgis each lost their council bids Saturday, despite being the only candidates who canvassed for votes at Townsend Town Hall on Election Day.
"It happens," said Haines, who lost his seat after a single two-year term. "Hopefully, (the new town council) can work together and get things done that didn't get done in the past. I wish them good luck."
Sturgis, who previously served three terms on council before stepping down last summer, offered some advice to the new councilmembers.
"I would tell them to think for themselves," she said, adding that she intends to continue voicing her opinions at council meetings. "I was there before I was on council and after I was on council. The other side of the table isn't so bad, because at least I can say what I want."
Sturgis and Haines said they have not ruled out seeking office again next year.
The election results will not become official until next week.
The new council members will be sworn into office at the June 5 town council meeting, at which time Haines and Councilwoman Karen Jennings, who opted not to seek re-election after three terms, will step down and the new board will choose a mayor.
"I would like to thank my constituency for placing their trust and faith in me for six years as their representative," Kennings said via email last week. "It has been a privilege and an honor to serve my community as part of this public body. I have been so fortunate to have met so many incredible residents over the years, and I will never forget their kindness and support."
