Progressive Aims for Brown Seat
He who would take Scott Brown's MA Senate seat is a very different politician and person. Dr. Peter Smulowitz wants to bring his insights as an emergency-r00m doctor and his progressive goals to the General Court.
Among the local and national hoo-ha about Brown winning U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy's spot, the focus now shifts back to the state senate seat he left. The Norfolk, Bristol, Middlesex district is not solidly Republican and is a microcosm of many Massachusetts areas filled with unenrolled voters and a chance for the most expressive and convincing candidates.
The choices here are sharp. Smulowitz is unquestionably the progressive. Lida Harkins is a state rep in her 22nd year, a Dem linked for better for worse with the past two Speakers of the House. The Republican is Richard Ross, in his sixth term in the MA House. While the latter is a marriage-equality supporter, he is otherwise socially conservative.
Our guest today alone had filed for Brown's seat before the special election. Now he'll have to beat Harkins in the April 13th primary to head into the May 11th special election against Ross.
Listen in as he explains he personal, professional and political insights. His views are informed not only by his day job, but the his parents' and wife's teaching experiences. He is a strong champion of the middle class and sees two keys to our economic future here — controlling health-care costs and creating jobs.
(As a bonus, we had a caller who does not want a progressive income tax and does want to protect the wealthiest.)

text: Hello, I am new to this forum. I am a vegetarian. I am looking for the best place to get a listing of definitions of by-products that are added to foods that come from animal sources, i.e. gelatin, etc. I want to avoid bying these products totally. Hopefully, also incorporated in this list could be items used in other products, such as beauty aids that are derived from animal sources. I was going to buy an eye shadow from a health food store until I learned one of the ingredients was crushed-up beetles. Thanks for your help.

The tree is up. And that, my friends, is news of astounding proportions.
The Christmas parties are in full-swing, the presents are bought (not really), and the ham is in the oven (I wish).
In any case, may you have a blessed Advent and Christmas season!
PS-I took this picture (last year). Do you like it?

Session: iPacesetters Technology & Solutions Session: Transforming Data into Knowledge into Revenue
(Featured Speaker)
Date: Thursday, Sep 13
Time: 10:15 AM - 05:00 PM
One of the best ways for publishers to tap new revenue opportunities may already be in their hands—literally. It's not an app or beachhead on a new generation tablet device. It's the telephone, and the customer connections already established through a data and research-based approach to the time-tested process of telemarketing. Too often considered a necessary evil, telemarketing, when skillfully planned and executed, is demonstrating its power to pursue and sell.
iPacesetters will show you how companies like yours are transforming their telemarketing campaigns from a simple tactical tool to a vibrant and dynamic strategy for monetizing content and deepening audience engagement.

A version of this page is also available for
This function attempts to enter a critical section without blocking. If the call is successful, the calling thread takes ownership of the critical section.
BOOL TryEnterCriticalSection(
LPCRITICAL_SECTION lpCriticalSection
- lpCriticalSection
[in] Specifies the critical section object.
Return Value
A nonzero value indicates that the critical section is successfully entered or the current thread already owns the critical section. Zero (FALSE) indicates that another thread already owns the critical section.
The threads of a single process can use a critical section object for mutual-exclusion synchronization. The process is responsible for allocating the memory used by a critical section object, which it can do by declaring a variable of type CRITICAL_SECTION. Before using a critical section, some thread of the process must call the InitializeCriticalSection function to initialize the object.
To enable mutually exclusive use of a shared resource, each thread calls the EnterCriticalSection or TryEnterCriticalSection function to request ownership of the critical section before executing any section of code that uses the protected resource. The difference is that TryEnterCriticalSection returns immediately, regardless of whether it obtained ownership of the critical section, while EnterCriticalSection blocks until the thread can take ownership of the critical section. When it has finished executing the protected code, the thread uses the LeaveCriticalSection function to relinquish ownership, enabling another thread to become the owner and gain access to the protected resource. The thread must call LeaveCriticalSection once for each time that it entered the critical section.
Any thread of the process can use the DeleteCriticalSection function to release the system resources allocated when the critical section object was initialized. After this function is called, the critical section object can no longer be used for synchronization. If a thread terminates while it has ownership of a critical section, the state of the critical section is undefined.
Each object type, such as memory maps, semaphores, events, message queues, mutexes, and watchdog timers, has its own separate namespace. Empty strings ("") are handled as named objects. On Windows desktop-based platforms, synchronization objects all share the same namespace.

It's baby overload over here!
In the midst of making everything for my little guy, I managed to find the time to make an adorable baby girl quilt for one of the Hubby's cousins.
I used a fabric bundle that I bought off Fabricworm a while ago and was super excited to find out that I was getting to make a baby girl quilt!
After seeing the quilt top put together, the Hubby said that it reminded him of Strawberry Shortcake. I just think it looks super cute!
I really like the chevron pattern, and I am in LOVE with the colors.
This is little baby Praise enjoying her new quilt - she's pretty thrilled, I can tell.
So cute!
Can't wait to take pictures of my little guy on the quilt I made for him!

Summary: The Kuli`ou`ou Ridge Trail is a 2.25 mile trail that rises almost 1800 feet, before peaking on the spine of the Ko`olau Ridge. It's a tough run, for it is steep, but it is very run-able and offers a great reward in the form of spectacular views. The locals say that you're suppose to run to the top, come back down to the picnic table, and then run back to the top again.
The Good: The trail is in very good shape. Unlike a lot of other trails that go mauka on the Ko`olau Ridge, this one is wide and easily navigable all the way to the end. There are no ropes, there's no forced hiking; you can run as hard and as long as your legs can handle. Being steep, there's some erosion, but it's been well addressed and should hold up well for a long time. And the views — wow, the views. Fantastic. From Diamond Head, all the way around to the Makapu`u Lighthouse and on to Kaneoha Bay, standing at the top of the trail lets you see everything from Honolulu to the Kona Brewing Company restaurant in Hawaii Kai. And the foliage is awesome; like the website says,
The trail traverses through an assortment of exotic vegetation typical of arid areas: Christmas berry, haole koa, formosa koa, ironwood, Norfolk pine and guava. Beyond the shelter and the guava forest, the trail breaks out of the canopy and into uluhe-o`hia-koa-lama forest.
The Bad: Are you OK with ascending about 1800 feet of elevation, in 2.25 miles? Because you're going to do that. Are you happy only running on bike trails? This ascent features rocks and roots and stairs and all kinds of things that will make you question your footing, and question your sanity on the way down. Now, I happen to like that stuff, but hey, that's me. And remember — this is an active hunting area, so be careful on the weekends.
The Ugly: Nothing.
Type of route: Trail
Good to run in the rain? It's be a tough one, especially the last little bit.
Length: 2.25 miles to the top.
Options for the route: Run to the top, come back down to the picnic area, then re-assault the top — that's 10km once you get back to the car.
Elevation change on the run: 300 feet up to 2100 feet, and back down.
Water used: I used 1.5 liters, but could have / would have used more.
Where to start: Kalaau Pl, Honolulu, Hawaii 96821S
Where to park: Same. The very end of the street is marked no parking, and that seems to be enforced. Get there early, or your parking options won't be close to the trail head.
Point your car's GPS towards: here.
My Google Earth file: here
My Garmin file: here
Water? Nope.
Toilets? Nope.
Medical care? Nope.
Ranger / park folks? Nope.
Picnic areas? One. Mid way up, about 1.5 miles from the trail head and .7 miles from the top.
A place to change afterwards? Nope.
Rewards in the area: The truly stunning view. That, and the Kona Brewing Company restaurant.
You'd run this route when….it's not actually raining Windward, and you want a nice view. When the skies are clear, and you think you can get up there for the sunrise. When you're training for the DipSea. When old ladies call you out.
My rating: 9
Music: Some classic 80's tunes. That is, assuming no one is close enough to you on the trails to actually hear what you're listening to. If that's the case, go with NWA.
Weather / Trail warnings (yes) / Permits (not required)

In 2005, ACTECON defended 8 different steel, wire-rod and ribbed iron producers on an investigation opened by the Competition Authority and, through its economical analysis, proved that the asserted concerted practices do not have any impact on the market.
By doing so, ACTECON saved its customers from paying huge fines. Moreover, on antidumping investigations opened by USA authorities against Turkish Iron & Steel producers where Turkish producers were asserted to set their prices on anticompetitive basis, ACTECON defended these producers by detailed economical analysis, disproved the claims and made the US Ministry of Commerce withdraw its allegation.

My next escape (and my first blog adventure) has been booked!
I will be traveling for 57 days filled with anthropological experiences, 256 bit colour, hit hard by ultraviolet sun rays and spiritual healing.
It has been my dream for a long time to visit this country, as my great-grandfather once lived in southern India before jumping on a ship one-way for Fiji to work on a sugarcane farm.
He never looked back. It was a big cost to him however, as he was cut off from his family thereafter. But the foods, spices, dress, colour continue to resonate in my family. When I was younger, I was quite ashamed of my heritage. I think it was because there was quite a prejudice in Australian society in regards to people of indian heritage. Economics was not my strong point. I did love coming up with business ideas, and was naturally good at math, but I much preferred socialising and dancing with my friends.. It wasn't of relevance to me to really understand the roots of my culture, I was living in the world of the 21st century where us half-caste kids were often questioned about our ethnicity, but we just wanted to fit in with everybody else.
I have traveled to many a country by now, and have had my own prejudices challenged, as well as opening my mind to different ways of thinking, living and being-not to mention tasting flavours once unknown to my tongue!
I am so excited to go on another crazy adventure and gain a deeper understanding of Indian culture. I hope you enjoy the posts to come, as I share my own photography, stories and experiences that I know will change me forever.
Here's to the next two months of adventuring with the Waterfall Chaser! (fingers crossed it won't be too dangerous to chase a waterfall when I get there!)

Fashion Watchmaker Android to Bring In SmartWatch This December
If you think Android is just some software that runs in smartphones, you are wrong.
Another brand, which sports the same name, is a company that manufactures reasonably priced watches that look bold and are industrial in its designs.
Android is also a watch-making company, which has been around for a while and has a good fan following of "watch geeks".
Now just imagine this watchmakers building a smart watch that is compatible with the Android phones we have now. What you get to see would be something very close to the Pebble smart watch released this year.
Yes, the Android SmartWatch is going to hit the markets soon. The new product is expected to be out this December.
A close look of the product makes you feel that the aesthetics of the watch is not exactly "awe-inspiring".
But a reasonable price along with a well functioning product is expected that can deliver the same features offered by other better units like Pebble.
In a promotional video, the product is shown to be compatible with even high-end smart phones like Galaxy S4.
So far, this is all the buzz we gathered on the new product. Let us wait and watch for more.

Join The Conversation With Mishpacha's Weekly Newsletter
"How do you manage?" is usually the first question I'm asked when people find out that I'm the single mother of five young children. The second response is often: "But your kids seem so normal!" Most time, I suffice with the short answer: "Hashem helps me." Recently, however, I realized that others — both single mothers and those women thrust to the helm of their family due to illness, travel, or any number of reasons — might benefit from the longer answer.
"There's nothing to do!" your child whines, his frustration at being bored mounting. You have far too much to do, but you're also feeling bored. Our usual response to boredom is to try to banish it. But boredom has some surprising benefits.

* U.S. Steel's stock down 23 pct since Einhorn's call
* Einhorn's US Steel pick overshadowed by Martin Marietta
* China, pension costs hurt US Steel, Einhorn says
By Sam Forgione
NEW YORK, June 19 (Reuters) - Hedge fund manager David Einhorn, best known for his prescient short bet against Lehman Brothers and recently, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, hasn't received the same attention for another notable bearish call - United States Steel Corp.
The Greenlight Capital manager unveiled his negative critique of U.S. Steel at the Ira Sohn charitable conference on May 16, where more attention was focused on Einhorn's bearish views on industrial goods company Martin Marietta Materials and online retailer Amazon.com .
Yet it's Einhorn's U.S. Steel call that has outperformed, after the closely watched hedge fund manager zeroed in on the company's poor earnings, high pension costs and the impact of China's slowing demand for iron ore.
As of Monday's close, the steelmaker's stock price was down 23.1 percent since the popular conference, where top hedge fund managers reveal their best investing ideas. Meanwhile, shares of Martin Marietta have lost about 8.5 percent over the same time period and Amazon's stock is down 0.8 percent.
Hedge fund managers like Einhorn are not required to disclose their short positions. But it's widely believed that Einhorn's $7.8 billion Greenlight Capital is looking to profit from a drop in the stock price of all three companies.
The day of the conference, Einhorn's criticisms of Martin Marietta immediately cut about 14 percent off the stock before it recovered a bit that day to close down roughly 8 percent. Shares of U.S. Steel, meanwhile, ended the day down 4.9 percent.
Einhorn, who declined to comment, used his presentation to highlight that Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel has lost money in nine of the last 13 quarters. He also pointed out that the steel manufacturer has three retirees for every current employee, meaning a lot of its revenues are going to pay pensions to former workers.
A U.S. Steel spokeswoman declined to comment.
In the first quarter, U.S. Steel reported a net loss of $219 million. In the company's most recent annual report, U.S. Steel said its pension plans were underfunded by $2.4 billion.
To some degree, it should come as no surprise that the producer of iron ore and manufacturer o f steel products for the automotive and construction industries has fallen on hard times. Oversupply of steel is always an issue for the industry, but it's particularly difficult now with declining demand from China and other fast-growing economies.
"There's always an oversupply of steel. But the magnitude of the oversupply has increased," said Mark Parr, a steel and metal companies analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. "The supply of iron ore has come on much more rapidly than the demand has grown."
The European debt crisis has also dragged on the steel producer, which has direct exposure to Europe via its U.S. Steel Kosice mill in Slovakia, Morningstar analyst Bridget Freas added.
Freas said that while most of Einhorn's criticism was valid, s he believed it w as an "easy target." She said U.S. Steel was already viewed as weak by many on Wall Street at the time of the Ira Sohn conference.
Still, some shareholders said they are surprised by the rapid escalation of the company's failing fortunes.
"I have been surprised by the degree of the downturn in the stock," said Edward Maran, portfolio manager at Thornburg Investment Management, which own 8 millions shares of U.S. Steel. "I would not have expected it to test the lows that were reached during 2008, 2009."
Other industry analysts agree with Einhorn's criticism.
"They've got some real, real problems, and U.S. Steel has clearly been the worst performer of the group," said metals analyst Charles Bradford, president of Bradford Research.
Interestingly, another top performer remains a stock that Einhorn didn't mention at Ira Sohn, but many were expecting him to unveil as this year's big short.
Shares of nutritional supplement company Herbalife have gained about 11 percent since the conference.
The stock had sold off in advance of the conference in anticipation that Einhorn would give it a negative critique. But he never even mentioned it during his 137-slide presentation.

Movie Review
Naam Shabana Story : Shabana Khan (Taapsee) is the special agent who is entrusted the task of assassinating a deadly arms dealer(Prithviraj) by the Indian Intelligence Agencies.
Naam Shabana Review : Blame this prequel on the media. Most critics who saw Neeraj Pandey's action-drama, Baby (2015) praised agent, Shabana's cameo in it. Her brisk action-sequence in a Kathmandu hotel room, when accompanying Ajay Singh (Akshay Kumar) on a mission, provided the required adrenaline-rush. Taking the praise to their heart, this time around, the makers dedicated 148 mins, (really?) to the spunky agent. Sorry, but the running time is the film's first inherent flaw. Frankly, Shabana shone in Baby because she was in a cameo. Someone missed the point, guys.
That be as it may, empowering women has merit. So we will go along with the maker's thought process in giving us this offering. Only wish Pandey (credited with story-screenplay-dialogues) hadn't over-simplified proceedings. Here, the men (Manoj Bajpayee, Akshay (cameo) and other characters from Baby) are almost spoon-feeding Shabana.
Such contrivances apart, when viewed as a stand-alone film, Shabana has some definite merit.
Straight away it reminds you how women are no longer helpless when teased by a bunch of drunken louts; or when brushed against accidentally in crowded spaces. They have enough and more in their DNA to give back as good as they get.
Also a quick look at Shabana's back-story. Growing up she was scarred by an alcoholic father, who abused her mother. And she has spent time in a juvenile correction facility for accidentally killing her father. Instead of allowing this to mar her future, Shabana moulds herself differently from your average Seeta, Salma or Suzy.
The first half indulges the protagonist and her love interest, Jai too much. It is only post-intermission, especially the last 35 minutes in which proceedings pick up. Sticking to a typical-action drama narrative that jumps from Mumbai to Goa, Vienna to Kuala Lumpur, with the arms dealer and the ISI agents playing a cat-and-mouse game, the film, is more an escapist fare than a realistic one.
Taapsee delivers some knockout punches and is sincere enough. Manoj is brilliant, though he has just dialogue-baazi and no action to support him. As for Akshay, he is happy to lend his superstar-presence and bask in the girl power. So go ahead and salute his spirit.

Le Déjeuner en fourrure
|Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure)
|Méret Oppenheim
|Assemblage sculpture
|Museum of Modern Art, New York City
|Museum of Modern Art
Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure), lit. Object ("The Luncheon in Fur"), known in English as Fur Breakfast or Breakfast in Fur, is a 1936 sculpture by the surrealist Méret Oppenheim, consisting of a fur-covered teacup, saucer and spoon.
The work, which originated in a conversation in a Paris cafe, is the most frequently-cited example of sculpture in the surrealist movement.[1][2][3] It is also noteworthy as a work with challenging themes of femininity.
The work's concept originated in a conversation among Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso, and his lover and fellow artist Dora Maar at a Parisian café[4] where the café's social role was discussed,[5] and at which Oppenheim was wearing a fur-covered brass tube bracelet, the pattern of which she sold to the fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli.[1][6] Picasso had suggested that anything could be covered in fur, and Oppenheim remarked that this would apply to "even this cup and saucer".[4] Oppenheim was nearly 23 years old at the time. In a slightly more explicit version of the conversation, Picasso compliments the young artist on her fur bracelet, and flirtatiously observes that there are many things he enjoys that were improved when covered in fur. Oppenheim responded, tongue in cheek, by asking, "Even this cup and saucer?"[7]
Oppenheim created and exhibited the work as part of André Breton's first exhibition of surrealist sculpture (Exposition surréaliste d'objets), held at the Galerie Charles Ratton. She originally titled it prosaically as "Cup, saucer and spoon covered with fur", but the work was renamed by Breton in reference to Manet's painting Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe.[5] The work accords well with Breton's theories in his essay "The Crisis of the Object".[5]
In true found object mode, the teacup, saucer and spoon are ordinary objects purchased from Monoprix, a Paris department store.[6] The fur covering is that of a Chinese gazelle.[4]
Later in 1936, the work appeared at the London International Surrealist Exhibition, where it was noticed by Alfred H. Barr, Jr..[6] Barr then displayed the work as part of the "Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism" exhibition of winter 1936/1937 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, whose visitors selected it as "the quintessential Surrealist object."[4] Barr afterwards purchased it for the museum, where it remains in the permanent collection.[5] The enormous success of this early work would create later problems for Oppenheim as an artist,[4] and soon after its creation she drifted away from the Surrealists.[5] Decades later, in 1972, she artistically commented on its dominance of her career by producing a number of "souvenirs" of Le Déjeuner en fourrure.[8]
One of the women Surrealists, Oppenheim in this work combines the domesticity of the tea set (part of the traditionally feminine decorative arts) with the eroticism and animality of the fur covering.
As in other surrealist works, a visual pun is implied, and the incongruity and impracticability of the combined elements is also highlighted.[9]
Will Gompertz, a former director at Tate Modern, writes of the sculpture:
The sexual connotations of Object (Le Déjeuner en Fourrure) are obvious: drinking from the furry cup is an explicit sexual reference. But there is much more to it than a saucy joke. The image of a fur-lined cup and spoon would not be out of place in the first chapter of any book about anxiety nightmares, in which any pretense of being in control is subverted by sinister happenings. In this instance, a cup and spoon has grown hair, turning objects from which one should derive relaxation and pleasure into something aggressive, unpleasant and faintly disgusting. It has connotations of bourgeoise guilt: for wasting time gossiping in cafés and mistreating beautiful animals (the fur is from a Chinese gazelle). It is also an object designed to engender madness. Two incompatible materials have been brought together to create one troubling vessel. Fur is pleasing to touch, but horrible when you put it in your mouth. You want to drink from the cup and eat from the spoon—that is their purpose—but the sensation of the fur is too repulsive. It's a maddening cycle.

Meret Oppenheim's Cup, Saucer and Spoon in Fur, a humble object which by the caprice of desire is rendered useless by giving it a sumptuous appearance. Each of these objects jolt us in that they bring together two or more incongruent realities that are not normally associated together in waking life. This is a surrealist moment.

The Magic of Really Listening to our Children
I was a resident assistant at college when I had the good fortune to be trained for the first time in the skill of listening. I remember being amazed when a student would come in and start talking about homework or another minor topic and then as I listened and allowed them to speak a much more important issue would eventually come up. Of course this didn't happen every time and sometimes it really was just the homework but on those occasions when the homework was just the tip of the iceberg listening really helped to uncover what was really going on.
Little did I know back in college that becoming a skilled listener would be something I would continue to learn and actually make a career out of as a Life Coach and most importantly put to even better use in my role as a parent. I know from my work as a Parenting Communication Coach that the skill of listening is one that we can all use help with. I also know that the first few weeks of school can be a particularly emotional time as children and parents navigate new academic and social situations. Honing our listening skills can really make a difference and at the same time it can lay the foundation for stronger relationships while also creating excellent communication skills within our children who are always learning from our example.
Think for a moment about what your initial reaction would be to the following comment from your middle schooler "My new math teacher is so annoying, why do we need to always show our work and when am I ever going to need to use this stupid x, y, algebra stuff anyway." You will not be alone if your automatic reaction is something along the following lines "Of course the teacher needs to know that you really know how to work it out and without the basics of algebra you'll get left behind."
Now try the same with the following comment from a five year old who just started kindergarten "I don't have any friends at school." Our automatic responses are likely to be something along the lines of "Of course you have friends at school, there's Joe from pre-school and Sydney from next door."
Our responses to many of our children's comments are so ingrained and automatic and often we find ourselves echoing the words of our own parents. We sometimes feel comforted by this because this feels and sounds like what we think being a parent is supposed to be. But didn't it drive us crazy when we heard those responses as kids ourselves? In both instances we are doing our best and trying to reassure our children. We are listening but we could be doing even better and listening even more.
The next time your child comes home from school and shares an experience with you similar to those above try what Dr. Thomas Gordon calls "Active Listening". For example, the response to the middle schooler would be something along the lines of "Wow, you seem really frustrated by this math teacher." Your child will then share even more of the story with you and you will begin to get to the bottom of what is really going on, it seriously could be something completely different from a problem with the math teacher. For the five year old in kindergarten your response might be "You were feeling lonely today."
Remember, the presenting problem is usually only the tip of the iceberg but if we jump in and assume we know how to best help them solve this problem we risk missing the point entirely. The children miss out on the opportunity to work through what they are experiencing and they also begin to learn how we respond. As a result they will base future decisions about what to share and not share with us on based on these patterns.
Listening is a life skill and one that we can all improve and there are two great books out there that I always recommend Parent Effectiveness Training: The Proven Program for Raising Responsible Children by Dr. Thomas Gordon and How to Talk so Your Kids Will Listen and Listen So Your Kids will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.
Happy listening!

Decisions made by groups when dealing with complex problems and issues occur everyday in the life of an organization. The decisions made by these groups can have serious, far-reaching consequences throughout the organization if not properly thought through. This is the reason for the existence of decision making models. Decision making models are logical, systematic, and methodical approaches to problem solving. Many decision making models exist. According to Lahti (1996), there are four group decision making models that can be identified. The models are the rational, political, process, and garbage can models. Each model possesses distinct advantages and disadvantages over the other models which is not the focus of this paper. The focus of this paper will be the analysis and real-world application of the rational model.
The rational model is the baseline against which other models are compared (Lahti, 1996). The model follows a scientific, methodical, and rational approach to decision-making.
The model follows a step-by-step process which decision makers use in the quest to solve a problem. The steps followed by the rational model, as defined by Robbins (2002, p.74) are 1) define the problem; 2) identify the decision criteria; 3) weigh the criteria; 4) generate alternatives; 5) rate each alternative on each criterion; and 6) compute the optimal decision.
The first step of the model involves the process of defining the problem or goal. The necessity of this step is underscored by the fact that an assumption of the model is that decision makers will the same frame of reference regarding the definition of the problem.
Decision makers in step two, are required to establish objective criteria to assess the solutions formulated in the first step. The criteria will also be used to evaluate the failure or success of the chosen solution.
Step three of the model...

Steve Rogers reemerged from the grave and seems to have money to spend, can it be that he is receiving back pay for the years of military service after being declared missing in action (MIA)? According to the Army benefits website, "Soldiers designated with Captive, Missing, or Missing in Action (MIA) status are entitled to receive the pay and allowances to which entitled when the status began or to which the Soldiers later become entitled."
Steve Rogers was declared MIA at the end of World War II where in the final days on or before April 18th, 1945 he and Bucky were attempting to stop Barron Zemo's a bomb-loaded drone-plane when the plane exploded. The explosion seemed to kill Bucky and launched Captain Rogers into the icy water of the English Channel. It was at this time that he entered into a state of suspended animation.
Captain America was declared MIA. According to the Department of Defense Rogers would have remained MIA until a board of inquiry or review recommended that he be declared dead. Department of Defense, Instruction Number 2310.05 January 31, 2000. In order for the board to recommend that he be declared dead they would need to find that credible evidence exists that Captain Rogers was dead or conversely that there is no evidence that he is alive. The military in control of the area when he went missing would need to have done a thorough search of the area and have filed a report.
There is an argument here that had they done a thorough investigation of the area surrounding the plane that exploded that they may have found his frozen body. But, depending on the depth that he sunk perhaps not. If all of the military protocols were followed and there was no evidence that he could possibly still be alive, and then the evidence suggest that he probably would not have survived the explosion then he could have been declared dead which would have led to a death benefit pay out to his next in kin. When he turned out to be alive any death benefit payout would be an offset to his back pay. A death benefit payout would not stop the back pay from accruing nor would it bar any possibility of receiving the back pay. There have been instances where someone was thought to have been killed in action and then has been recovered and they have received their back pay.
Determining that Captain Steve Rogers is entitled to some back pay is fairly straight forward. He was declared MIA; I believe that the Government would want to leave him categorized as MIA so as not to kill an American Icon for the war effort. They could conceivably to this as there has been no conclusive evidence of his death. Even had he been determined to be deceased his next in kin would have received a lump sum payment, however upon his return the amount paid out would just be offset in his back pay. The more difficult part is determining how much pay he is entitled to.
Many theories and articles already exist about how exactly to calculate the amount. They are based and founded on the documentation of what soldier's earned in WWII. Many of the calculations include promotions as well as hazard pay, and even special skills pay. In some instances, the person calculating has gone as far as to have added inflation. I would argue however, that Captain America was not on the regular military pay or promotion track. He was a volunteer who received the "Super-Soldier" serum which allowed him to enlist. The military gave him a special shield and made him an icon. I'm not sure what promotion could be given to Captain America, truly. Go on give it a try, General America just doesn't have the same ring to it.
One thing that all of the articles have in common is that Steve Rogers is entitled to at least a million dollars. No matter how conservative you are with your numbers, with simple interest it is not difficult over 65+ years of back pay to rack up a million. That being said, some of the higher estimates of 6 to 8 million may be a bit on the Captain America fan club groupie side of the pay scale. The U.S. Government loves Captain America but they aren't going to be in love with an 8-million-dollar payout to one soldier. Even if he is "Super".
The issue of suspended animation is also a situation of first impression. The U.S. Government could easily use this situation to lower the amount of back pay owed. An argument could be made that suspended animation is equivalent to death and that his back pay would have been suspended from the moment he was in suspended animation. I would assume however that the outcry from veterans and the general population at large if Captain America was treated poorly would lead the Government away from this avenue, especially as he is still working with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Steve Rogers also says that he "can't afford an apartment in Brooklyn", indicating that he certainly isn't receiving the higher estimates of back pay. It would seem although Captain America doesn't seem on the brink of needing government assistance that he also is not going to be joining the billionaire club with Tony Stark anytime soon.

My wife has wanted the WII Fit ever since we got the WII. I was watching Fox News one day and they were talking about the EA Sports Active and I was interested. So my wife had her birthday and I got the EA Sports Active instead of the WII Fit.
I don't have the Wii Balance Board but read that you don't need to to play the EA Active. Having said all this last night I tried the game/workout for the first time. I have to admin that it was enjoyable and it was a good workout. Being my first time I setup my person and selected the easy muscle toning workout. The workout took about 27 minutes even with the explinations. I worked up a mild sweat and could feel a mild muscle burn. The workout was not overly difficult or strenuous.
Being completely out of shape I could feel a little soreness this morning when I woke up. I highly recommend the EA Sports Active and soon I will be taking the 30 day challenge. There are a lot of features in this game that my wife and I haven't even started to explore. I think this will help us get in shape and has a lot of options to keep you interested and motivated.


text: drclaw Posted February 12, 2011 This is currently available on ebay from Australia (Elite militaria) for around USD 695. As someone who is still learning about these orders, the item would appear to raise some concerns for an "1860 Crimea War Grand Cross": (1) star and crescents placed on top the tallest rays, as opposed to between them (2) centre appears to be a lighter shade of red, as opposed to a deep dark red (3) rear - appears to be a single cast piece as opposed to separate "leaves" joined together (4) very "shiny" for a 150 year old item. Would I be correct? Are there any other details of this particular item that also jump out as concerns? I am keen to develop my knowledge on what are a very beautiful category of orders.

Discussion in 'Tomato Firmware' started by Toastman, Dec 18, 2011.
Shibby doing tests ...
If I recall correctly from what I have been reading openlinksys.info forums two weeks ago, Shibby just married, so I don't think he has any time for Tomato at the moment. It's perfectly understandable if his life priorities won't allow him to look into Tomato any further.
Hello. How do I enable DHCP?
You misunderstood, someone just such an example gave that once in another forum as the administrator was absent it turned out so,
I think hehe so bed, so young wife, he probably will not bed the pain hehe.
Let's respect Shibbie's work, though his incest is annoying ;-)
Is the wireless client mode ever going to get fixed?
Don't hold your breath. Tomato's Client Mode has been broken some time as some say here. If it hasn't been fixed by now, it probably will not be anytime soon. Maybe with enough demand, someone could take a look and try to fix but overall it seems a very low priority. It may take some compensation, maybe $$, to make it worthwhile to fix. If you want a third party firmware with a working Client Mode, DD-WRT is the only viable option at this time.
What is the preferred way to communicate patches for Tomato dev? I have seen people pasting Github links but the repositories don't seem to exist any more. I'm spoiled now by the fork, commit, pull-request workflow by this point : )
You may attach patches here on this thread. Any contribution is welcome.
There's not really a "Tomato developer". The two main branches nowadays are "Toastman" and "Shibby".
Toastman uses a more stable codebase.
Shibby is the bleeding edge, where things may break and requires a fix.
Ok, and where do I get the latest source? I am not seeing it in the 4shared folder.
It's a repository: http://repo.or.cz/tomato.git
The main tree is the ancient Tomato 1.28, so after cloning the repository, you need to checkout the branch you want. Usually Toastman or Shibby branches.
http://repo.or.cz/tomato.git/heads may give you a consolidated views of all the branches, depending on which architecture you will work with.
For ARM architecture, Shibby maintains a separate repository, at https://bitbucket.org/pl_shibby/tomato-arm/commits/all
Bitbucket is where I maintain my own fork as well: https://bitbucket.org/AndreDVJ/advancedtomato-arm
So in the end, there are forks all over the place. Tomato sources can be very confusing to work with, and compiling the source with a Linux distro other than Debian can be a nightmare, so please let us know if you need additional information.
Hi, Toastman!
Are you planning any further releases?
We could use a more current stable Tomato platform
Latest release is only few months old and there have been no show-stopper bugs (AFAIK). It's as current as it gets (imho)...
Is that something to be corrected?
Speaking of which, how can I know which version my router is running? In the About page only 1.28.9008 is shown.
Compare the About build date shown vs Toastman repository
I need your help in solving - How to organize PPPoE Relay in the firmware of TomatoUSB? For example for LAN 4.
Koitsu, I would have PM'd you about this, but I can't so I'll respond here.
if you're curious the code:
max = MAX_NSPEED * MAX_COUNTER;
flag = 0;
ptr = (uint64_t *) node->speed;
while (!flag && max--){
flag |= *ptr++;
return !flag;
It's not there to be a pain or make your life more difficult. This is both a speed and space optimization, and yes embedded folks do this all the time because space is just as valuable as speed in the embedded world. Before I saw the code I thought there's likely a single loop wrapper with a decremented counter.
Then I saw the code and it makes perfect sense. The while loop works better than the for because it's a single pass loop, and it's got quick exits
Notice how the counter max is initialized with the top end and then decrements each loop? This saves us a few cycles for the compare each time through the loop and a couple bytes for the compare instruction. This code just uses the variable for an AND on the test for done. Simple, small and efficient.
compiled this loop becomes a test flag (stack) AND with max (register), branch out needed, dec max (register), load (likely stack/register indirect), OR (register), store (register) and increment (stack/register and this works for any sized type pointed to by ptr), branch to while start.
That said, this code may work better as a do while loop, since it always gets executed once, it may be best to move the exit test to the end of the loop rather than the start. Saves one pointless exit test on the initial pass.
I'm also not sure why we don't get rid of the OR with flag and just assign it instead, it's either 0 or not and we only care when it's not. Looks like the "!flag &&" early exit was an optimization added after the |= had been written...
You code, has two loops each with their own init, execute, post instructions, compare for done , that's 2x the space; embedded folks value space as much as speed. Add to that you've got array indexing which each array access is done by taking a pointer to the base and adding an offset which is calculated with multiplies because you need to get a row offset and add a column offset to get the cell offset which is added to the base offset (or use indirect indexed addressing to skip the add if processor has that option). Multiplies are slow, slowest operation you got even with FPU, (they also take more power compared to other operations). Your code is more readable, but not efficient. On an side note, your code could also be run as a single dimensional array and that would save you both space and speed. There are ways to eliminate the multiply instructions out, but those either take memory or end up looking like the original code.
I'm guessing your timings were made off code generated with the -O2 flag which usually does a really, really good job with fixing the problems with the way normal (and OO) coders write code (like your loops). It would be neat to compare the assembly code for both routines. Can you add the '-S' flag and post? That should make a .s file with the assembly. May also be able to use -fverbose-asm flag, but not sure this always works. My guess is your code will be a bit larger (could be ~20 more bytes because there are lots of trick for optimizing fixed size loops, even nested ones) in size, but may resolve down to something not too different that the original single line of code. If really curious try to look at the assembly without the -O2, your code should be a lot larger and slower.
max = MAX_NSPEED * MAX_COUNTER;
flag = 0;
ptr = (uint64_t *) node->speed;
while (!flag && max--){
flag |= *ptr++;
return !flag;
Guys one question :
i am trying to do the classification of the UDP multicast traffic in Qos. I can't figure out how to do it because whatever i've tried Toastman is showing me as Unclassified.
See picture :
UDP 184.108.40.206 port 5000 is a stream od original UDP multicast - second record in black rectangle.
With udpxy UDP it is converted into TCP port 8088 (source 192.168.1.56 - this is IP of my STB) - first record in black rectangle
How should I define the parameters in Classification because I want UDP multicast to have the highest priority ?
Thanks in advance !
I might be wrong here but as far as I know.
QoS with Tomato only works with the WAN port.
These adresses are in your LAN, that's why it's not working.
Every connection in LAN will show up as Unclassified.
Dennis_E - thanks for replying !
All my adresses in my LAN are beginning with 192.168.1.x and as I undestand the second record in black rectangle
is coming directly from providers modem, so this must be a WAN adress. Please correct me if I am wrong.
It is highly unlikely that you will get a reply from @koitsu
Dear Mr. Toastman,
I hope for your help in resolving a few issues that have arisen with the use of the ASUS RT-N18U router with the firmware of your authorship.
The essence is as follows:
1. TCP / IP protocol. Is it possible in the firmware to implement the TCP sequence number check for the current session?
2. Is it possible to implement protection against a fake gateway?
Thank you.
As I don't need the multiLAN features and wanted to update my AC66U due the security updates, I moved from Shibby's 132 to Toastman's tomato-RT-AC66U_0511.5Toastman-RT-AC-VPN.trx and suffered exactly the same issue (no 5GHz wireless detected unless hard reset with the button on the back).
Is there any known regression to pre 510.5 behavior?
Thx, Wolf
I don't think so. I had the same problem, when flashing Shibby's Tomato onto my R7000 first time. Some resets and flashes (same firmware again) later 5GHz appeared.
Hi just flashed my 868L with the latest version AdvancedTomato but looking for one with VPN, CTF, DDNS, ...
Does Toastman provide these? If yes which version should I download?
It's here: https://www.4shared.com/folder/mb7UnWrG/1289008.html?detailView=1&sortAsc=true&sortsMode=NAME
can I download the 868l firmware and flash directly from my AdvancedTomato firmware upgrade page?
I think so. But you should clear NVRAM before and after flashing.
I have Netgear 6300 running Toastman linked to Virgin cable SuperHub 2. I have it set up so that Toastman uses DHCP type to connect to Superhub. This means everything is on same subnet and means I can use all the ethernet ports on both devices without complications. I can't put Superhub into modem mode without losing all its ethernet ports.
Everything works very nicely except it means DHCP for the whole network is managed by the Superhub. That has a limitation of only 16 device reservations which is becoming restrictive.
So I'd like to move the DHCP operation off the Superhub but keep the operation all on one subnet. One possibility is just to run a separate dhcp server (e.g. I have a raspberry pi which could do this), but it would be nicer if I could just move it to the Toastman Netgear. I am not sure if this is possible or how to do it. My first thought was to change the Toastman to a static set up but this seems to imply using a different subnet to the Superhub.
Any thoughts on if it is possible and how to do it?
What file to use (if possible?) on Netgear WNDR4500 V2?
I don't know, why it's considered an AC build, though the router got no 802.11ac, but it's there:
Cool! Thanks... where can I get this info (e.g. updates)
EDIT: NM... Found it... it was deep down inside a few folder...
Hi I have two questions:
(1) tomato-K26USB-1.28.7511.5MIPSR2Toastman-RT-VPN.trx is 8,163,328 bytes
does it mean my flash cannot use this version as 0x7c0000 = 8,126,464?
(2) Some are obvious but some aren't. For example, is VPN-NC=VPN+NOCAT? But why is VPN-NC file size smaller than VPN? What does each version below mean?
Another silly question, so is that for initial flash? And can I flash with regular bin afterwards?
Currently I am running Shibby, can I flash this (tomato-Netgear-WNDR4500V2_0511.5Toastman-RT-AC-VPN.chk) chk without going back to stock?
After you flash to tomato firmware, you don't need to flash back to stock firmware, just to flash to another Tomato build as you please - just make sure it's the one for your router.
As a rule of thumb, always do the 30-30-30 process before and after flashing to another build. You should be good to go.
(2) Toastman's version description is provided here:
Please take note of the "Versions.txt" document creation date ...probably some changes occurred since then, but this is what i have.
Extract from the text document:
Mini - no USB, no CIFS, no Zebra
MiniIPV6 - no USB, no CIFS, no Zebra + IPv6
Std - normal build
Ext - normal + Extra utilities + NTFS
VPN - normal + Extras + NTFS + VPN
VPN-NOCAT - normal + Extras + NTFS + VPN + NOCAT portal
I'm assuming there is no point/advantage in using tomato-K26USB-1.28.0511.5MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N-Lite over standard for an N66U if I'm using it strictly for a repeater, but I'll ask anyways.
Also, are settings preserved after each upgrade, so long as it's the same build? I usually clear nvram just in case a new bug might present itself.
@Toastman are you ok? didn't see you in a while around here
I installed the latest Toastman build on an old WRT54G. Everything is working like a charm, there's just one little issue: If region is set to Germany, then there's no channel 14, although it's officially permitted in Germany.
But: Did anyone see Toastman recently?
Was the router originally sold as a German model?
Channel 14 is not allowed for Germany, thats why you can not select it.
Yes it was
i don't know where you got that info - please provide a source -, but channel 14 is not allowed in the EU, including germany. for a moment i thought that germany was slow in converting EU directives into law, but this document from the "german FCC" ( document is in the german language ) states otherwise. https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/Sh...LAN_2,4GHz_pdf.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=4
max frequency allowed is 2.4835 GHz, the center frequency of channel 14 is also 2.4835 GHz, but because the channel width is 20 or 22 MHz using this frequency exceeds the limit with 10 MHz. the center frequency of channel 13 is 2.472 GHz + 11 MHz ( half of 22 MHz ) is 2.483 GHZ, just within the upper limit, see for instance this picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
but even if it was allowed, the IEEE standardization organisation for 802.11 has decided that channel 14 only may be used with 802.11b which limits you to 11 Mb/s. the only implementation seems to be in japan. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#endnote_C
lots of router manufacturers don't implement this well, amongst them several tomato flavors, probably because of the wireless driver blob. by using channel 14 in the EU including germany you are violating EU and german law.
what do you want to achieve by using it? "nobody" can connect to your router unless they have a driver and localisation which allows for channel 14.
Yes, you are right. Of course it isn't supposed to. Think I was a bit tired yesterday and took channel 14 for channel 13
I am quite new in this area. There're some basic questions to ask.
There're 2 routers in my possession, I found the toastman firmware for Asia AC-68u, however, it is confusing for me to find an appropriate version. Is it supported? And if yes, which one is the right version for the latter MIPS router?
Curiosity question... I just moved from Shibby over to Toastman, and have been really happy to have stable 5GHz versus what I experienced on the latest Shibby builds, even on different hardware. I don't care about MultiWAN and such, but I do like to stay on builds that get updated from time to time.
The last Toastman build is from 8 months ago, and the cadence of releases as shown from the changelog seems to have stopped. Does anyone know if Toastman intends to keep developing his builds?

Thanks Toastman (and others) if you read this for all the effort you've put into development of your build.
I think the most active fork is kille72 right now
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Kille72 does a mod of Shibby's Tomato with some additional fixes, btw.
While it's normal, that Toastman doesn't update as frequently as Shibby (usually just if it's needed security wise), it's true that we haven't seen him around here for some time now...
It would be nice, if linksysinfo would let us see, when someone was logged in last time, but this information is private here. Maybe Toxic could tell us more, if we asked..
For now let's hope Tomastman is on vacation and fine
Haven't seen/heard anything from @Toastman sense Koitsu left. Hope he's doing well.
I hope he is doing well too but I guess he has abandoned his Tomato branch development as his site is also not working.
What site are you referring to?
I'm able to access it as normal.
Excellent ! I might be that my company is blocking it somehow! I will check at home tonight.
me too, everything is working
very unfortunately, only for ARM processor model routers; which i don't have
hey guys,
Similar to those above I have been sitting on Shibby 1.32 for some time now. Looking to move on and from what I read the most likely option is Toastmans
I am running the old Dark Knight N66U and I wanted to confirm which firmware I should flash with. If I want the most features including VPN, but don't need the portal then I think I should use the following:
Is that correct?
@theredmoose No, the 60K version may brick the router. I'm using tomato-K26USB-1.28.0511.5MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N-Std.trx on my RT-N66U, but I believe tomato-K26USB-1.28.7511.5MIPSR2Toastman-RT-xxx is also compatible.
@ambiance I assume you are running a much earlier version then correct? 0511 vs. 7511 ?
0511 vs 7511 is RT-N vs. RT. On an N66 you need RT-N, the RT drivers won't work. 7511 and 0511 are the same except for the WiFi drivers. I concur with ambiance that you need the 64K version for the N66, although the normal version will work, though possibly with only 32K of NVRAM (haven't looked recently).
Note that you won't brick an N66 by using the 60K driver, but you would have to put it in rescue mode and upload a working firmware to bring it back to life.
Can confirm 0511 works on this router, I'm running it now

Let me start by saying I hope Toastman is alive and well. I've been using his builds for years without major issue on my routers. However, this recent dnsmasq flaw seems fairly severe, and combined with Toastman's radio silence for the past few months, I switched my RT-AC68 over to asuswrt-merlin, and would advise anyone else using Toastman builds to start looking into alternative options, as it may potentially never be fixed.
Do not believe that Toastman would allow a very important exploit to go unanswered and would just leave all those using Toastman builds hanging.
Let's actually look at the Debian security advisory below.
dnsmasq, a small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server, did not properly check the return value of the setup_reply() function called during a TCP connection, which is used then as a size argument in a function which writes data on the client's connection. A remote attacker could exploit this issue via a specially crafted DNS request to cause dnsmasq to crash, or potentially to obtain sensitive information from process memory.
Am no expert but it logically seems that an attacker would need to have direct access to a dnsmasq server to exploit the above to initiate a connection with a dnsmasq server. Dnsmasq appears to only ever touch the internet when it initiates an outgoing connection on Tomato. Maybe a DNS server sending a response to a Tomato TCP DNS request could exploit this but if the DNS servers being used are not trusted isn't there bigger issues in the first place? So an attack appears at first glance logically to only be exploitable from a LAN network thereby greatly reducing the attack surface and thereby honestly not making this that big of a deal. Have no doubt there are Linux kernel exploits for the Linux kernel (think 2.4 or 2.6) Tomato uses too.
*Also thought that DNS usually uses UDP and the exploit specifically mentions TCP.
Even with above Tomato is still mountains more secure in a home or office than the guaranteed unpatched routers internet service providers handout or top selling routers with generic manufacturer firmware. Plus it does so much more. With this simple firmware a router previously only good for a doorstop can host a simple shared drive or give secure remote access to a network via SSH or VPN without a computer being on 24/7 (as well as many other simple tasks) that not all generic firmware supports.
But going back to the beginning. Believe that Toastman (and Shibby too) will still actually fix this eventually. It is probably a total hassle to change this on all builds. Honestly get why doing this is taxing. Although it would hurt some would rather Tomato developers stopped supporting so many models and spent 50% less time supporting fewer models. Would be okay with this and think it might invigorate people like Toastman who are probably (understandably) getting worn out doing what they have been doing.
The dnsmasq exploits all appear to require access from the LAN or WLAN. Unless you're running a public hotspot, if you have an infected authorized client on your LAN you're going to have more serious problems than the router crashing (because most malware authors are going to send x86 instructions to the router instead of ARM/MIPSR1/MIPSR2). If you're running a public WiFi, you could try running an alternate DNS/DHCP server until the issue gets patched.
I'm sure Shibby & Toastman will release updates when they have time, but the reality of the matter is we're not paying them a dime, so nobody should feel entitled to immediate updates. Even a donation is just that - a donation.
Look at this as an exercise in figuring out options for situations like this in the future. We all have to scramble from time to time to keep things working smoothly.
I'm using Tomato Firmware v1.28.0511 MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N K26 VPN on my Asus RT-N66U. Enjoy!
It's been strangely quiet on this forum regarding the announced vulnerability in WPA2.
I've done a little reading on this and am just making the assumption that the latest Toastman releases are vulnerable to this attack. Given the location of my home router and the fact that you have to be in radio range to implement an attack, I'm not terribly concerned but I'm sure others are (or should be).
(On a side note, does anyone know whether KRACK is an AP only issue or does the client and AP both have to be patched to resolve the vulnerability?
I'm putting this out as a call to Toastman or anyone else that might have information on whether there will be work on a patch. Essentially, wondering if I should start investigating firmware alternatives. I really like Tomato and hope that isn't the case. Any guidance is appreciated.
APs and routers are not vulnerable. Clients, repeaters and bridges are.
I don't want to post any details at this time out of respect for Toastman, but it's highly unlikely there will be any update for Toastman's builds in the future.
oh, no, that's sad to hear!
thanks for the update merlin!
Thanks Merlin for the update.
I am a little concerned with what to do at this point. I am running the latest version of Toastman on my DIR-868L (Ver B) mostly because there seemed to be a bit of problem with excessive YouTube buffering with the Shibby variant. I'd try running a Kille72 but I don't think there's a version for my router.
As this router seems to have a bug with the NVRAM corrupting over 32k, does anyone here know if the DDWRT build for this router takes the 32k limit into account?
Bad news... I hope that Toastman is alive and come back in future
If he comes back or not, I hope he is allright! I'll miss his adorable avatar, though
Hope all is well with Toastman, health before firmware updates.
Funny thing, his avatar was also one of the first things that struck me back then
Thank you @RMerlin for these infos.
I hope Toastman is doing well, and I have appreciate (and still appreciate) a lot his hard work and explanations.
Where is the Netgear 3500Lv2-flavored Toastman source code located?
Really bad news . Thank you for clarifying RMerlin.
Been compiling from his branch for years.
No offence to any of the devs. (love your work) but seems tomato for MIPS is now on the dead bead with just one active (occasional) developer left.
Do you happen to know if it's his own?
Toastman's sources are there:
and there:
I like to see someone to update this even once a year for major bugs. if i knew what to do i would do it.
i love this firmware on my R8000
I've tried creating a build system some times, but it never worked in the end. Documentation is spread too far and there's too much outdated information making this even harder.
I seem to remember Toastman posting some time ago that the avatar was in memory of a cat that had been his long time companion.
I already checked the first link. The closest I could find is:
This is from http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/tomato-toastmans-releases.36106/ :
Which to me implies I need to look for something like this: https://www.4shared.com/get/yU9BA_0wba/tomato-Netgear-3500Lv2-K26USB-.html. Does anyone know which source that corresponds to?
What do you mean by the closest? Doesn't the github mirror reflect the latest state of Toastman's sources?
Regarding the device specific changes, from what I remember the only special thing about the 3500L v2 was the NAND flash. Shibby introduced the support back then. (http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.ph...ar-3500l-v2-128mb-nand-flash-128mb-ram.36676/)
Mayber it could work, if you searched for Shibby's patch, took Toastman's latest sources from github and added Shibby's NAND patches?
For more details of how the image for Neatgear WNR3500L (V2) is built from toastman sources, take a look here:
Search for 3500 in the makefile and maybe you will find your answer.
Hey guys.
Just bought a netgear AC1750 (R6400v2).
Point me at the correct toastman version?
Was looking at the shibby version too but seems his site is down!?
Oh and toastman really ought to move off of 4shared. I went there and something (some one of the freaking 30 ads on a page!) tried to infect my browser...
@bigjohn - shibby has been inactive for over 2 years, toastman since february. Their builds use dnsmasq with unfixed security issues. I hope they will release new version soon...
Anyway I recommend you to use kille72 build based on shibby's fw. It is only for ARM devices.
(R6400v2) same as ac68u c1, e1, e2 has different processor and other SDK and for today there is no tomato on it
R6400v1 is ok R6400v2 no
Damn -not available on V2? Really?
What firmware shall I run then?
the stock one
a complete non starter!
Any chance there is a version of Tomato for tp-link archer c2600?? I have one of those here too...
will not be fast,
SDK is different
Shibby will surprise us, he once said that hard and slow work on it
only broadcom chip on tomato
Well good sir, thank you. I have dd-wrt on the R6400 v2. I can work with that. Prefer tomato, but hey.
Darn that sucks. I hope Toastman is alright and if its illness related that he recovers.
I may have to switch eventually to asuswrt-merlin at one point. I've been using Toastman builds for years.
Hope all is well with Toastman!
Hopefully someone will fork Toastman or Shibby build and update dnsmasq to 2.78 to fix the exploit for non-ARM routers. Like the RT-N66U and such. I've switched over to Asuswrt-Merlin for the time being and it's incredibly smooth. A friend told me about the exploit and I got a little paranoid about updating the router. lol
The dnsmasq exploit can be triggered by visiting a compromised site. (Simon Kelley is the maintainer of dnsmasq)
more details on the exploit (though it's already been posted on a few threads)
Is it a known bug, when I am trying to setup a Netgear n900 dual band router, the 2.4 GHz will turn into 5 GHz automatically when trying to setup the second 5GHz AP.
How to resolve this issue?
@Xruptor, ...sadly it feels like that non-arm Routers dont recieve critical updates anymore.
I'm still using a N66U and it does the job quite well for my connection.
Merlins firmware seems to be a good choice as well but i kinda wanne stick with the original Tomato.
I'm used to the gui and everything i've tried so far worked at the end.
But the security issues really made me think about a change
For older hardware like the RT-N66U, DD-WRT is an option. I am running it now on mine without issue.

I have two N66U in the home and they have always served me well. Since I'm a long time Tomato fan it just feels awkward moving over to another firmware after all these years. I too would love to stick with Tomato but it just seems that it's becoming more and more outdated as time passes. I know Kille is still updating the Tomato-ARM firmware and that to me is just awesome. It keeps the Tomato firmware going. If it wasn't for him not sure what the outcome would be for Tomato.
Because of the outdated kernel and a few security issues on Tomato MIPS. I've had no choice but to update both N66U to Merlin. I cannot tell you how rock solid they are right now. It's simply amazing how well they perform. Merlin really has done a wonderful job on it. They have been running so far 6 days straight with no incident.
The only issue I'm having right now is the fact that I'm still running on a MIPS router whereas everything has moved over to ARM. Not only that but there has been advances in WIFI technology as well as certain other Hardware upgrades that will probably provide me with better speed and quality then what I have now. Yes they are both working, but they are also beginning to show their age.
I'm currently looking at the RT-AC86U since it seems to be the next step up from the RT-AC68U. If I was to buy a RT-AC68U I would go with the RT-AC1900P since it is a bit of a step up from the original RT-AC68U hardware (according to SmallNetBuilder Reviews and several forum posts I've written to).
All in all I understand your position, trust me.
I used to use DD-WRT years ago. In fact I was going to try it if the AsusWRT-Merlin didn't work as expected. But since Merlin build has been solid and speedy. I haven't had a need to switch over. Thanks though for providing the link and feedback. Not sure if that's the regular builds or the KONG DD-WRT builds. I always get confused with the two. It is nice to know that on the DD-WRT side there are continued updates for kernel and security.

Yesterday, was a good buddy of mines 21 birthday! I had 4 tickets so I figured why not bring him to the game. What's better than being at Wrigley Field for your 21 birthday? NOTHING! O, before I forget….They were FIRST ROW SEATS BEHIND THE ATLANTA BRAVES DUGOUT!!!!!
I did see something that has tarnished the game far more than steroids have. There was this father, who brought his sons to the Cubs game and they were all sitting next to my buddy and I. As soon as this family sat down they pulled out there "upper class" cold side dishes of what looked like a mango salsa and a tabouleh salad.
I turned to my buddy, who I have been going to games with since we were kids and told him to look over. His jaw dropped and he could not believe what those kids were eating! Going to ball parks for the food is the second best to the game itself. We were actually pissed off that a father who is repping a Cubs Jersey would actually suggest his kids to do that. Get a beer and a dog. A soda and nacho. A 12 in chicago style dog and beer. A malt. Obviously price doesn't matter because the food you are illegally bringing into the stadium is more expensive !
Chicago Style Hot dog
Poppy Seed Bun, Vienna Beef Hotdog, Chopped Yellow Onions (I had grilled), Authentic Chicago Green Relish, Pickle, Tomato Slices, Sport Peppers, Celery Salt

Chatsworth is one of the most famous historic estates in Britain and just a short 10 mile drive from the centre of Matlock Bath in the heart of Derbyshire's Peak District.
A visit is highly recommended if you're in the area, whether you just want to take in the beautiful countryside, explore the extensive gardens or browse the magnificently decorated and historic rooms and art collections of the house itself.
If it's a pleasant walk in the rolling Peak District countryside you're after, the parkland which surrounds Chatsworth House is free to enter (although a small charge is levied for parking).
For those not interested in the house interior, a ticket can be purchased for access to the 105 acre gardens which includes the maze, water features and sculptures. The same applies to the farmyard and adventure playground (an option which might prove popular with the kids).
Alternatively, and for a full day's entertainment, a Discovery Pass can be purchased which provides access to all Chatsworth's attractions.
The Chatsworth Estate is in Derbyshire approximately 10 miles north of Matlock and 15 miles from Junction 29 of the M1 (see adjacent map). For sat-nav users, the post code is DE45 1PP.
