'Gateway to Vermont': $60M I-91 bridge project to begin
BRATTLEBORO -- A $60 million project to replace the aging, deteriorated Interstate 91 bridge over Route 30 and the West River is scheduled to begin later this year.
The two companies charged with designing and building the new span say they have created "a signature gateway bridge that would capture the beauty of Vermont" -- a response to aesthetic concerns expressed by a number of locals.
Residents can get a glimpse of that design and hear detailed project information at a public meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Brattleboro Union High School's multipurpose room.
"This is an important project for Vermont, and we are pleased to see it getting off to such a strong start," Vermont Transportation Secretary Brian Searles said in a statement e-mailed to the Reformer.
"Thanks to the collaborative approach of this design/build team and the active participation of the community, we will be replacing these aging structures with something that brings the latest engineering innovations in a way that is in harmony with the West River," Searles added.
The "harmony" Searles references was a key issue that arose last year when state Agency of Transportation officials first disclosed a "baseline design concept" for the new bridge.
They proposed replacing the iconic green steel bridge -- which is more than 50 years old and is considered structurally deficient -- with a simple concrete structure.
But that design was panned, with one local planner calling it "unacceptable." At a June 2012 public meeting, a resident remarked that the proposed bridge design "looks like something that belongs in New York City or Cleveland or Missouri."
Windham Regional Commission sent a letter asking that VTrans seek more public input, and the commission subsequently led an August meeting at which residents aired their bridge-design concerns and preferences.
The effort did not end there: A list of design criteria was drawn up, and a local aesthetic-evaluation committee was formed to meet with project bidders and to help evaluate their proposals.
"This was something that VTrans had not done before," said Matt Mann, a Windham Regional Commission senior planner. "Kudos to them for being open to this."
The state has selected two companies to undertake the project, which also includes replacement of the nearby, smaller I-91 bridges over Upper Dummerston Road.
Exton, Pa.-based FIGG Bridge Engineers Inc. is designing the new bridges, while PCL Civil Constructors Inc. -- headquartered in Denver -- is handling construction.
In a joint statement, the companies recounted an October meeting with the aesthetic-evaluation committee.
"The committee challenged the team to create a bridge that would serve as an icon to the community and 'Gateway to Vermont' but at the same time blend in with the beautiful surroundings. It was suggested that the community wanted a structure worthy of a postcard," company administrators said.
"As a result of that meeting, the PCL/FIGG Team was inspired to create a signature gateway bridge that would capture the beauty of Vermont," the statement said. "'A Bridge to Nature' served as a theme for the team to use as a guide in the design of a remarkable new bridge."
The result is a single, 1,036-foot-long arching concrete bridge over Route 30 and the West River.
The structure will be 104 feet wide and will carry all four lanes of traffic while also including inside and outside safety shoulders. The current bridge uses separate spans to accommodate northbound and southbound traffic, and officials have said it is too narrow by today's safety standards.
The new bridge will stand on 70-foot piers, each of which will feature a walkway to a viewing platform as well as nearby kayak/canoe launches.
Mann said the local aesthetic-evaluation committee "did a great job" in communicating the design priorities expressed by residents and officials.
"Based on the overall criteria that was sent out, this bridge encompasses it," Mann said.
However, he also noted that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
"A lot of it is going to be very subjective -- that's the nature of aesthetics," Mann said.
Those who attend Tuesday's meeting will get a chance to air those aesthetic options and ask questions about the project. Representatives of VTrans, FIGG and PCL are expected to attend, and there is a question-and-answer session scheduled for the end of the meeting.
Information will include details of the project's schedule, which will stretch from fall of this year to summer 2016. The new bridges over Route 30 and Upper Dummerston Road are expected to open to traffic by late 2015, though some construction work will remain after that.
The design/build companies say they have structured their schedule to "minimize inconvenience to the traveling public and maximize driver safety."
A summary distributed by the companies addresses planned traffic restrictions and detours:
-- On I-91, both northbound and southbound traffic will be reduced to single lanes this fall and will remain that way through most of 2015.
Administrators said they will use "smart work zone technology" to relay information about current traffic conditions to interstate travelers via message boards.
Also, traffic information and live video feeds will be available on the project's website, www.I91BrattleboroBridge.com.
-- On Route 30 and Upper Dummerston Road, traffic "will only be restricted for short durations with alternating one-way flow under flagger control or brief full closures during activities that require construction overhead," the companies said.
Those traffic restrictions "will be limited to nighttime and/or off-peak hours" whenever possible.
Administrators said they envision restricted access on Route 30 during winter 2013/14, fall 2014 and winter 2015/16. Restricted access on Upper Dummerston Road, where a new, 85-foot-long I-91 bridge will be built, is scheduled for winter 2013/14, summer 2015 and fall 2015.
-- The West River trail will serve as a construction access for the new bridge over Route 30, the companies said.
However, administrators are pledging to "work diligently to maintain safe access through the trail right of way with minimal disturbances for trail users."
"Any construction activities near the trail will be communicated by means of mass e-mail, social media and physical postings at the trail entrances," the companies said. "The safety of the public using the West River Trail during construction activities will not be compromised, and separation between construction traffic and (trail) users will be provided."
Temporary full closures of the trail will be necessary at certain times, but those will be coordinated with the Friends of the West River Trail, administrators said.

MICROSTRUCTURAL EVOLUTION AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A COPPER-ZIRCONIUM ALLOY PROCESSED BY SEVERE PLASTIC DEFORMATION by Jittraporn Wongsa-Ngam A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (MECHANICAL ENGINEERING) May 2013 Copyright 2013 Jittraporn Wongsa-Ngam

|A copper alloy, Cu-0.1% Zr, has been processed at room temperature by different techniques of severe plastic deformation (SPD), namely equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP), high-pressure torsion (HPT) and a combination of both processing (ECAP + HPT). The experiments were conducted to evaluate the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties for each of the processed and their combination. A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and an electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques were employed to measure the microstructural features, grain size distributions and the distribution of the misorientation angles. The mechanical properties of the processed samples were examined and compared both at a room temperature using microhardness measurements and at an elevated temperature using tensile testing. ❧ Using TEM and EBSD techniques, it is demonstrated that these three SPD procedures have a potential for producing an ultrafine-grain structure containing reasonably equiaxed grains with high-angle boundary misorientations. However, microstructures are refined in different level depending on the processing operation. The grain refinement mechanisms are primarily governed by dislocation activities. ❧ Microhardness distribution of the strained samples shows that there is a non-uniform of this distribution in the early stages of deformation where the lower hardness values were measured near the bottom of samples for ECAP and at the central region for HPT. This inhomogeneity is gradual decreased with increasing imposed strain and ultimately the microhardness distribution is reasonably homogeneous when the sufficient strain is subjected to the sample. ❧ The tensile results demonstrate that the samples after SPD processing exhibit superior mechanical properties with the combination of high strength and ductility compared to the as-received materials where the maximum elongation to failure of ~240% at 723 K using a strain rate of 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ is achieved in a sample processed by HPT. This elongation however does not fulfilled the requirements for true superplastic flow where the measured elongation in tension should be at least 400%.

What's with all the Topgun hate? Here's the story how Survival Talwar became Topgun Talwar.
Back in 2002 while he was still in training at Rev Pro, we went to Philidelphia for CZW's Best of the Best. Talwar's seat on the plane was away from everyone else, he sat next to some lady. Anyway, everytime we'd look towards him he'd be talking to this stranger. Eventually they both got up about the same time and disappeared for awhile. It turns out Talwar banged her in the airplane bathroom. From then on he became Topgun Talwar.
On a side note, Scrub and Talwar slept in the same bed that night.

The men's basketball team will live to see another day.
Sophomore guard Maodo Lo knocked down a buzzer-beating jumper to lift the Light Blue to a win over Valparaiso, 58-56, in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
The game was played almost entirely within five points. Both teams led at times in the first half, and while Columbia led for most of the second, it was not able to pull away.
A long three with a little over three minutes to go put Valparaiso ahead by one, and a steal and dunk by guard Clay Yeo put the Crusaders up by three. But back-to-back buckets from junior center Cory Osetkowski put the Lions ahead by one with just under a minute remaining.
Forward Vashil Fernandez had a chance to put the Crusaders back on top after he was fouled after an offensive rebound—one of his six—but only hit one of two free throws.
After sophomore guard Isaac Cohen grabbed the rebound, the Lions gave the ball to Lo for the final possession of the game, and he spun, stepped back, and knocked down a 20-footer for the win.
Osetkowski continued his strong run of games, leading the Lions with 21 points—including 3-for-3 shooting from beyond the arc—while Lo had 13 to go along with eight rebounds and five assists.

BEREA, OHIO -- The Baldwin-Wallace College football team lost to Ohio Athletic Conference rival and 13th-ranked Ohio Northern University, 41-21, today (Saturday, October 16, 2010) at Dial-Roberson Stadium in Ada. The loss snapped a five-game Yellow Jacket win streak.
The Polar Bears led 14-7 after one quarter, 35-14 at halftime and 35-21 after three stanzas. With its win, Ohio Northern is now 5-1 overall and 4-1 in the OAC. The Yellow Jackets are now 5-1 overall and 4-1 in the OAC and host Wilmington College next Saturday (Oct. 23) at The George Finnie Stadium in Berea at 1:30 p.m. on Professor Appreciation Day.
The Polar Bears opened the scoring at the 3:19 mark of the first quarter when running back Brent Donley capped off a 16-play, 80-yard drive that consumed six minutes and 43 seconds with a three-yard touchdown run. Blair Ellenberger added the point after for a 7-0 ONU lead.
However, BW answered with a 56-yard touchdown pass just 49 seconds later as sophomore quarterback Ryan O'Rourke (Avon) connected with freshman Kevin Johnson (Garfield Heights/St. Ignatius), this week's OAC Special Teams Player of the Week. Senior placekicker Brad Pollock (Broadview Heights/Brecksville-Broadview Heights) added the PAT to tie the game at 7-7.
ONU came right back as quarterback Kyle Simmons found wide receiver Ryan Fleming on a 54-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds left in the first quarter. Ellenberger's kick made the score 14-7 in favor of ONU.
The Yellow Jackets tied the score at 14-14 with 10:31 left in the second quarter when O'Rourke ran seven yards to paydirt to cap a 13-play, 60-yard drive that spanned 4:57. Pollock added his second PAT of the day.
ONU would then score 21 straight points to close out the half beginning with a one-yard run by Donley with 4:35 left in the half. Donley added his third score of the day on a 10-yard run 1:50 before half after a Polar Bear interception. The Polar Bears capped off the first half scoring when Simmons found Fleming for a second long passing TD, this one for 49 yards, with just 20 seconds before intermission.
In the third quarter, B-W marched 93 yards in 12 plays, taking 6:07 from the clock as senior running back John McGraw (North Ridgeville) scored on a one-yard run. Pollock converted the point after, making the score 35-21 ONU.
In the fourth quarter, ONU went 55 yards in 14 plays consuming 7:17, capped off by a 27-yard field goal from Ellenberger to make the score 38-21 ONU. The Polar Bears would then go 82 yards in 10 plays, capped off by another 27-yard field goal by Ellenberger, making the final score 41-21.
B-W was led offensively by O'Rourke, who completed 12-of-23 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown. Senior running back Kyrell Crook (Columbus/St. Francis DeSales) led the B-W ground game with 63 yards on 11 carries, while McGraw rushed for 44 yards and one TD. Freshman WR Josiah Holt (Elyria/Midview) caught four passes for 33 yards.
On defense, senior All-OAC middle linebacker Ryan Kish (Amherst/Steele) led the Yellow Jackets with nine tackles and two tackles for loss. Junior linebackers J.J. Laseak (Mentor) and Brett Thompson (Shelby) each had eight tackles.
ONU was led on offense by Kyle Simmons who completed 14-of-23 passes for 269 passing yards and two touchdowns. Donley rushed for a game-high 145 yards on 28 carries and had three touchdowns. Fleming caught four passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns. The ONU defense was led by Jesse Richards with 17 tackles and one interception.
Today's B-W vs. ONU game was taped and will be televised tonight by SportsTime Ohio at 10:00 p.m., again on Sunday at 12 noon and on Monday (Oct. 18) at 5:00 a.m. To view all previous televised and archived BW football, soccer, basketball and wrestling broadcasts, please visit the B-W web site atwww.bw.edu/athletics/video/.

G&T Perfection
As with any recipe, the perfect G&T starts with the ingredients. For this drink you will need:
*Limes -- I"ll leave it up to personal taste whether you use regular or key limes. If using regular, a half a lime will do per drink, for key limes use on or two whole limes (depending on HOW small they are)
* Salt -- less than a pinch, literally just a few grains will do. Sea salt is best.
*Gin -- a good gin is of course key to a good G&T. I'm partial to Bendistillery's Cascade Mountain and High Desert gins from right here in Oregon. It's a fairly new craft distillery, but their gins and vodkas are superb.
* Tonic Water -- This, believe it or not, was the secret that led to my G&T's going from good to truly great. There are actually varying qualities of tonic water. The best I've found so far is a brand from England called Fever Tree. Here in Eugene I can get it at Market of Choice. It's pricey stuff, and I don't always use it, but when I'm in the mood for a special, over-the-top treat, this is the stuff.
* Ice -- good ice, preferrably made from distilled water.
Halve the lime around its equator. Cut one half into eighths, use the other half to cut garnish slices. Place half of the lime into the bottom of an old fashioned, add a few grains of sea salt, and muddle, being sure to bruise the skin of the lime. This releases essential oils that really improve the flavor of the drink. add a few ice cubes, 1 ounce of gin, and finally top off with tonic water. Stir, garnish with a lime slice.
Best enjoyed while wearing white and a Panama hat.

Quite frankly, I prefer crankcase oil fresh from an oil change to gin. I do, however, agree that Bend Distillery produces an excellent vodka.ReplyDelete
I find key limes to be much more powerful than the usual Persian limes; therefore, one can usually do with less (if you're able to find, and use, actual Key limes). How potent are they? You can actually use them instead of fire to "cook" meats. I once used a bunch of them to marinate a tri-tip for the grill. Got side-tracked, forgot about it for a couple of days. When I pulled it out of the fridge, the meat was done. They're powerful little buggers.
It's worth noting as well that what is sold as tonic water may in fact lack the essential ingredient - quinine. It is that which makes actual tonic water so comparatively expensive (and presumably fights malaria as well). Fakes abound in the less expensive categories, and they're composed of high-fructose corn syrup, water, carbonation, and bitters rather than actual quinine. Most bars use the low-end "tonic water", which results in an inferior product.
In Portland, I'm aware of only one, in near-Northeast, that uses all real ingredients. There may be others, but I've not found them. OTOH, my bar-hopping days are pretty much over.
Agreed, key limes are very potent. Hence only one, which still will produce less juice than half a good sized Persian. regular limes and lemons will also cook meat,I use them for ceviche all the time.ReplyDelete
Interestingly, the cheap safeway tonic water uses actual quinine. But Fever Tree uses spring water, cane sugar, natural quinine. Really is excellent stuff.
I've not tried lemons, my result was accidental, followed by some research. The Key limes do produce less juice, but ounce for ounce, Persians can't compare.ReplyDelete
Haven't been to a Safeway in years, but will look for Fever Tree next time I visit Market Of Choice. Thanks for the tip!
Hey, BTW - meant to mention it earlier: the Bendistillery vodka is sold under the "Crater Lake" moniker. Not sure why, but there it is.ReplyDelete
Cheers, glad to be of help.ReplyDelete
One of the Bendistillery vodkas is called Crater Lake, they have a couple of different products. The stick mostly with local/regional place names, much like Deschutes Brewery. I believe the Crater Lake vodka uses local lava rock as well as charcoal as part of the filtering proocess.
Glad to see you're still hangin' in there!! My spritzy drink has become Rum, in all its various concatenations.ReplyDelete

French 3M workers barricade boss in office
Industrial director confined behind wardrobe
Workers at a French 3M plant barricaded their boss in an office yesterday, in a protest over plans to lay off 110 employees, Reuters reports.
The group's industrial director, Luc Rousselet, was confined to quarters by a strategically-placed wardrobe in the factory at Pithiviers, near Orleans. Staff are demanding "more money for departing staff, guarantees for those remaining and salary payment for those who had gone on strike over the redundancy plan".
Union rep Jean-Francois Caparros told the news agency: "Until we have a commitment from 3M that they will increase pay-packets and are ready to discuss our conditions for negotiations, then Mr. Rousselet will have to remain here.
"If he wants to involve the police, then he will have to send for them, but it is out of question that he leaves without discussing our conditions."
Rousselet told Reuters from behind the wardrobe: "These people have more to complain about than me and I knew there was this risk when I came here."
3M has said the job cuts are necessary at Pithiviers "to reduce overcapacity because of falling demand". Rousselet continued: "We have had five rounds of negotiations ... and at the end of the last one we reached an agreement on a certain number of points, but there are still measures left where there are substantial points of disagreement."
Obstreperous French workers have of late made quite a habit of detaining management. Earlier this month, sacked Sony employees at a video tape plant took the company's local chief exec hostage, eventually forcing a return to the negotiating table. ®

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
God promises Abram, who will become Abraham, that his descendants will be
as numerous as the stars. Abram believes in God. God promises us the
forgiveness of our sins. Do we believe in God? God makes a covenant with
Abram and by our baptism we also have a covenant with God.
Was Abram always faithful to God in every aspect of his life? No. He was
a sinner like the rest of us. He was faithful in believing and in
repenting. Belief does not take away our sinfulness but allows God to
begin His work within us. The life of faith is a life of following God and
seeking to do God's will in our life. Some people seem to become
transformed (transfigured) sooner than others. Perhaps it has to do with
their personal commitment and perhaps it has to do with what God wants of
In the Gospel we have the account of the transfiguration of Jesus. It is a
moment when His divinity shines through His humanity and the disciples get
a small glimpse of God in human flesh. Peter and his companions saw the
glory of Jesus.
There may be times in our own lives when we are very aware of the presence
of God. Such experiences draw us to God but do not necessarily transform
us immediately. We know that Peter goes on to deny Christ and then finally
to embrace Him in faith once more.
This Sunday is very important to help us understand that God loves us,
wants to have a covenant with us and wants to share His life with us. God
wants us to walk in His ways. God recognizes our weakness but expects us
to put all of our trust in Him. The Letter to the Ephesians sums this up
with these words: Our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await
a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will change our lowly body to conform
with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all
things into subjection to himself.
The glory of the Lord awaits us. Our task in this life is to put our faith
in Him and to let Him transform us and draw us from our sinfulness into His
own life. Lent is a special time to deepen our faith and walk in His ways.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

This document shows how to configure the web passthrough feature on a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC).
This document assumes that initial configurations are already done on the WLC.
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
A 4400 series WLC that runs 188.8.131.52 code
Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) version 4.2 installed on Microsoft Windows 2003 Server
Cisco Aironet 1230 Series Lightweight Access Point
Cisco Aironet 802.11 a/b/g CardBus Wireless Adapter installed with Aironet Desktop Utility version 3.6
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
Web passthrough is a solution that is typically used for guest access. The process of web passthrough is similiar to that of web authentication except that no authentication credentials are required for web passthrough.
Note: For more information on web authentication, refer to Wireless LAN Controller Web Authentication Configuration Example.
In web passthrough the wireless users are redirected to the usage policy page when they try to use the Internet for the first time. Once the users accept the policy they can browse the Internet. This redirection to the policy page is taken care of by the WLC.
In this example, a VLAN interface is created on a separate subnet on the WLC. Then a separate WLAN/SSID is created and configured with web passthrough and mapped to this VLAN interface. Remember that web passthrough does not provide any data encryption.
In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the WLC for web passthrough.
These are the IP addresses used in this document:
The IP address of the WLC is 10.77.244.204, which is the management interface.
The IP address of the the ACS server is 10.77.244.196.
Complete these steps:
In the main controller window, choose Controller from the menu at the top, choose Interfaces from the menu on the left, and click New on the upper right side of the window.
The window in Figure 1 appears. This example uses Interface Name vlan90 with a VLAN ID of 90:Figure 1
Click Apply in the upper right side.
The Interfaces >Edit window appears with some parameters to be defined.
This example uses these values for the parameters:
IP Address—10.10.10.2
Netmask—255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
Port Number—2
Note: Make sure this is the active port number on the WLC which is connected to the switch.
Primary DHCP Server—10.77.244.204
Note: This parameter should be the IP address of your RADIUS or DHCP server. In this example, the management address of the WLC is used as the DHCP server because the Internal DHCP scope is configured on the WLC. For more information on how to configure the DHCP server on the WLC, refer to the Set Up DHCP and DNS Servers on the WLC section of the document Wireless LAN Controller Web Authentication Configuration Example.
Secondary DHCP Server—0.0.0.0
Note: The example does not have a secondary DHCP server, so 0.0.0.0 is used. If your configuration has a secondary DHCP server, add the server IP address in this field.
ACL Name—None
Figure 2 shows these parameters:Figure 2
Click Apply in order to save the changes.
Now that you have a VLAN interface that is dedicated for web passthrough, you must create a new WLAN/SSID.
Complete these steps in order to create a new WLAN/SSID:
Open the WLC browser, click WLAN in the menu at the top, and click New on the upper right side.
The window shown in Figure 3 appears.Figure 3
Choose WLAN as the Type. Select a profile name and WLAN SSID for web passthrough. This example uses webpass for both the Profile Name and WLAN SSID.
Click Apply in the upper right corner.
A new WLANs> Edit window appears, as shown in Figure 4. This window is different for WLC versions earlier than 4.2.Figure 4
Check the status box of the WLAN to enable the WLAN. From the Interface menu, select the name of the VLAN interface that you created previously. In this example, the Interface name is vlan90, as shown in Figure 4.
Note: Leave the default value for the other parameters on this screen.
Select the Security tab. The window shown in Figure 5 appears.Figure 5
Complete these steps to configure web passthrough:
Click the Layer 2 tab and set the security as None .
Note: You cannot configure web passthrough as Layer 3 security with 802.1x or WPA/WPA2 as Layer 2 security for a WLAN. Refer to Wireless LAN Controller Layer 2 Layer 3 Security Compatibility Matrix for more information on the Wireless LAN Controller Layer 2 and Layer 3 security compatibility.
Click the Layer 3 tab. Check the Web Policy check box and choose the Passthrough option, as shown in Figure 5.
Click Apply in order to save this WLAN to the running configuration on the WLAN switch.
You are returned to the WLAN summary window.
Make sure that the web passthrough is enabled under the Security Policies column of the WLAN table for the SSID webpass .
You must reboot the WLC because one or more of the WLAN changes cannot be made while the system is active. The changes must be made before or during the boot. Complete these steps in order to reboot the WLC:
In the main controller window, choose Commands from the menu at the top.
In the new window, choose Reboot from the menu on the left.
You are prompted to save and reboot if there are unsaved changes in your configuration.
Click Save and Reboot in order to save the configuration and reboot the switch.
Monitor your system reboot from the console connection.
When the WLC is up, you can create your web authentication subscriber.
Once the WLC is configured, the client should also be configured appropriately for web passthrough. In this section, you are presented with the information to configure your client for web passthrough using the Cisco Aironet Desktop Utility.
Make sure that the drivers for the client adapter and the Cisco Aironet Desktop Utility are installed on the client computer. Complete these steps:
Click the shortcut icon for Aironet Utility on the desktop.
On the Cisco Aironet Desktop Utility screen, click the Profile Management tab.
Click on the existing profile and click the Modify button.
Figure 6 shows how to perform steps 2 and 3.Figure 6
Under the General tab, choose a Profile Name. Enter the SSID configured on the WLC for web passthrough, as shown in Figure 7 . In this example, the SSID is webpass .Figure 7
Select the Security tab. Choose the security option as None , as shown in Figure 8 .Figure 8
Click OK.
This brings you back to the main screen of the Desktop Utility.
Note: If your wireless client is also a VPN end point and you have web passthrough configured as a security feature for WLAN, then the VPN tunnel is not established until you go through the web passthrough process explained here. In order to establish a VPN tunnel, the client must first go through the process of web passthrough with success. Only then is VPN tunneling successful.
If the wireless connection is successful you should have obtained a valid IP address from the WLC. Click the Current Status Tab to verify this. Ensure that the IP address is from the correct subnet. In this example, it is vlan90 configured with the 10.10.10.0/24 network. Figure 9 shows a sample successful wireless connection.Figure 9
In order to determine the WLC to which the client is associated, click the Advanced button at the bottom of the screen, as shown in Figure 9 . Here, the WLC IP address and MAC address is shown as AP IP address and AP MAC address.
Complete these steps:
Open a browser window and enter the virtual IP address that is configured on the WLC.
Here, the secure https://18.104.22.168/login.html is used. This step is important in versions earlier than 3.0, but the step is not necessary in later versions. In later versions, any URL brings you to the web passthrough page.
A security alert window displays.
Click Yes in order to proceed. Figure 10 shows the web passthrough page displayed on the client.Figure 10
When the web passthrough window appears, click the Accept button. A window displays that shows the successful connection. Internet connection can now be used.
Figure 11 shows the successful connection window.Figure 11
Troubleshooting web passthrough is similiar to that of web authentication. For troubleshooting purposes, refer to the Troubleshoot Internal Web Authentication section of the document Wireless LAN Controller Web Authentication Configuration Example.
The default web passthrough page can be customized to suit your needs. For more information on how to customize the web passthrough page, refer to the Configure Web Passthrough in the WLC section of the document Wireless LAN Controller Web Authentication Configuration Example. Figure 12 shows a sample customized page.Figure 12

THE winning streak in rising profits at Scotland's small businesses has been busted, ending five quarters of consecutive earnings growth, a new report out today says.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) also says that small firms have become much less confident about their prospects, with its Scottish Voice of Small Business index now standing at just +1.7 points. That is a sharp fall from +26 points at the same time last year, and markedly below the UK figure which stands at +20.3 points.
"The net balance of firms reporting rising profits has fallen into negative territory, at ‑2.8 per cent, ending a run of five quarters of uninterrupted profit growth," FSB Scotland said.
That compares with a balance of +9 per cent reporting profits growth in the previous quarter.
A balance of +6.1 per cent of Scottish small businesses reported increased turnover in the three months to 20 July, down from a much stronger balance of +17 per cent reporting higher turnover in the same period of 2014.
Andy Willox, the FSB's Scottish policy convenor, said: "With revenues and profits taking a hit, it's little wonder that confidence has dropped."
He said that the latest figures were "a timely reminder that a sustained recovery is far from guaranteed". The FSB report was based on a sample of 1,570 small businesses across the UK, with 180 small firms surveyed across Scotland between 20 July and 4 August.
A total of 37 per cent of Scottish firms said that credit remained unaffordable, but this is well below the figures in excess of 60 per centy seen in 2012 and 2013, FSB Scotland said.

by Ian Clark
As my good friend Larry pointed out in Part 1 those of us fortunate enough to have been born in Sussex during the Albion's halcyon days grew up to hate our neighbours from Surrey (they're not a proper London club , the Nigels , are they?) with a passion. A writer from the London Evening Standard once memorably opined something to the effect that "Brighton and Crystal Palace fans despise each other with a passion rarely seen outside of the Balkans to the bemusement of the rest of the football world". The way fans of both clubs have come together to address the misfortunes to have befallen both clubs in recent years might challenge that but more of that later.
My earliest trips to the Goldstone in the spring of 1979 saw huge crowds , an ultimately successful promotion push and almost non-stop songs about Palace and their fans that quickly cemented in the mind of an impressionable 10 year old that they were the enemy. Some things you just don't question! Favourites , and I'm sure Palace have the same with the names of the two teams reversed , include a little ditty about the joy of wandering the cliffs of Dover only to happen upon a hapless Eagles fan and push him off the edge and another about how when an "itty little boy" my granddad bought me a nice new toy. Two little Palace fans hanging from a string. He taught me to kick their fu....you can work probably figure out the rest!
In an attempt to strike a balanced view (not easy given how much I hate them. I mean really hate them!) I'm going to recount three games Brighton v Palace games that live in the memory. One win , one draw , one defeat - now you can't say fairer than that! And no Palace fans the defeat isn't the unspeakably horrible 5-0 one but you couldn't really expect it to be if you're honest could you?
First up was my first taste of the rivalry back in April 1984 when as a member of the Junior Seagulls (as in the junior branch of the Supporters Club as opposed to any fledgling "firm") I stood in the South East corner at the Goldstone enraptured as goals from Terry Connor , Alan Young and , if memory serves correctly , Eric Young gave Albion a 3-1 win in the sunshine. Not sure who scored their consolation but who cares really eh? Slough's favourite son would later go on to sell his soul and serve Palace with distinction but I'm sure apart from that he's a decent bloke. Don't remember too many other details from that one but there's number one in the books!
Around a year later on a Tuesday night it was all aboard the Seagull Special and off to the mean streets of Norwood for my first ever visit to Selhurst Park. A 1-1 draw was chiefly memorable for a shocking assault on Albion stalwart Gerry Ryan by one Henry Hughton that cut short a wonderful playing career. If memory serves correctly both Danny Wilson and Frank Worthington reacted to the tackle by punching the Palace full-back and both went without so much as a yellow card.
My final trawl through the memory banks takes us to Easter 1989 when Kelvin "Madder than Mad Jack McMad" Morton took charge and awarded a then (not sure if it still is) record five penalties in the same game. Amusingly a Palace team featuring Wright and Bright missed three of their four (yes 4 - we only got the one) on the way to a jammy 2-1 win which was only preserved due to an acrobatic late save by Perry Suckling which denied the Albion the draw which was the least they deserved. Albion's Alan Curbishley gave an exhibition on how to take the perfect penalty to his hapless Palace counterparts. What sticks in the memory the most I think is the fact that Morton awarded them 2 pens in the space of about 3 seconds. Having missed the first , awarded for the little known offence of sneezing too audibly in the area , the ball was cleared and promptly returned into the box only for Kelvin to agree to a cheeky request from Wrighty of "can we have another go please ref". It was a display of blatantly biased refereeing which has only been topped by the ref in Escape to Victory where a team of Allied heroes (the Albion let's say) featuring John Wark , Mike Summerbee , Pele and Michael Caine fought bravely against the forces of evil (Palace).
Penalty ref! A bird's-eye view (well almost) of the game in which Kelvin Morton may of had a hand in a Palace victory.
One final related anecdote from the perfect Tuesday night in Wolverhampton where the Albion put on a display worthy of the Brazil 1970 World Cup team to hammer Wolves 4-2 including a goal from Robert Codner that in an eerie twist I described in perfect detail to Mr Last several hours before kick off. As we waited on the South Bank at Molineux for the home fans to disperse news came through from Anfield of a 9 (nine) nil win for Liverpool against Palace. The memory of grown men dancing with tears of happiness in their eyes has never left me.
As well as Eric the Ninja another man to have served both clubs is Steve Coppell. It says a lot about the man that he is revered by both sets of fans. Despite having been manager of Palace no less than 207 times and being derided in songs throughout that time by Albion fans about his lack of a birth certificate ("he's a Palace bastard") and his regular trips to the STD clinic - these are tribal football songs and no-one is seriously alleging either is actually true in case any libel lawyer is planning a raid on Danny's bank account I should make clear at this point - the Albion fans instantly took him to their hearts during his all too brief spell managing our club. It's also true that upon Russell Slade's departure earlier this season Coppell was the overwhelming choice of the fans to return. This of course was pre Gus so we'll never know how that would have worked out but by all accounts Coppell conducted himself honourably throughout the time he was courted - if indeed he was.
This coming Friday Palace fans will once again make a trip to Sussex to take part in an annual kick around with their Brighton counterparts to raise money for the Robert Eaton Memorial Fund. Anyone wanting to know more about this laudable cause can read up on it at REMF Homepage. Suffice it to say that everyone involved in the venture is an absolutely corking chap and the media would do well to devote to it a 10th of the time they take to talk up every scuffle anywhere near a football stadium as evidence that everything from hanging , the birch , National Service and the Watney Cup should be brought back immediately to avoid the country descending into anarchy.
The game comes less than 48 hours before Palace's own date with destiny in the shape of a relegation decider with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Only a home win will save the Owls while a draw will keep Palace up - almost like their very own Hereford 1997. Do I want Palace to go down? Probably. Is the 10 point deduction seemingly forced upon them by an impatient Hedge Fund fair? Probably not. One thing however is beyond dispute. No real fan on either side would wish extinction on the other team due to a debt a fraction of that which it's apparently ok for Man United to carry.
In order for the next generation to enjoy their own derby moments to come Palace have to overcome their current difficulties. If that only comes after a good few seasons struggling at the arse end of League Two while the Albion prosper in their new gleaming state of the art stadium so be it. Hey I'm a proud son of West Sussex so it's upto Crispin or Nigel somewhere in Tattenham Corner to get in touch with Dan for the right of reply!
The game that started it all off? See comments section below for details and please feel free to comment yourself.

Trolley parks were common in our area of New England from the late 1800's to 1900's. In Manchester, Pine Island Park was located along the Merrimack River. In Hudson, Benson's Animal Farm became a small zoo, and then an amusement park. In Salem, Canobie Lake Park opened in 1902. It was run by the Hudson, Pelham and Salem Railways as a way to increase their business. It was a botanical garden with canoeing, picnicking, dancing and a penny arcade. A trolley station deposited visitors in the middle of all the fun.
Even today, Canobie Lake Park is known as a beautiful garden in a park like setting, even though it has grown into an amusement park over the years. This is part of the charm that attracts visitors of all ages, not just young people, to the park. Older people stroll the gardens, cruise on the lake, ride the original 1902 "Canobie Express" railroad, and enjoy the century old merry-go-round. Local businesses still host company outings in the picnic grounds for all employees. It is still possible to see peacocks wandering around the gardens, a remnant of the old petting zoo at the park. Thrill rides attract teens and there is a large "Kiddie Land" for the smallest patrons.
By the 1920s the automobile put the trolley lines out of favor. In 1929 the trolleys and the park went out of business. Soon after, in 1932, it was re-opened and more rides were added, including the roller coaster that is now known as the "Yankee Cannonball." The Dancehall hosted big name entertainers like Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra and Guy Lombardo. The park thrived and expanded.
By the end of the big band era this owner had died, and new owners expanded the park considerably into the amusement park you see today. More rides, attractions and arcades were added. Sonny and Cher, as well as Aerosmith, are some of the entertainers who have held concerts in this era. More thrill rides were added, some from other parks that have closed in New England, and there are now 85 rides at Canobie Lake Park, including the Kiddie Land. Fireworks are still part of the tradition, every Saturday night over the lake. The Canobie Queen "steamboat" no longer cruises along the lake, and I hope they bring her back soon for nostalgia's sake.

SUAREZ LUGO, Nery. The price of cigarettes and the reduction of smoking in Cuba. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.1, pp.4-19. ISSN 0864-3466.
Introduction: the annual study of the consumption of cigarettes is a timely, low-cost and reliable research to follow and upgrade the Program of Prevention and Control of Smoking. Objectives: to describe the consumption of cigarettes in 2010, its association with the price and the forms of commercialization, the elasticity of demand and other economic and social aspects. Methods: a descriptive and observational study was performed, using time series added data. Results: when compared with the 2009 consumption, the per capita consumption of cigarettes in 2010 decreased by 12 %, the average price rose by 7.97 % and the sales increased only in the market operating with convertible pesos. The cigarette demand was elastic, so the reduction in the demanded quantity will be proportionally higher than the price increase. Conclusions: the price-consumption ratio in 2010 was also present in the Cuban setting, and the elasticity of cigarette demand will be more benefited in 2011 since the cigarette supply based on the rationing card ceased to exist. This situation may change in the following years if new price increases are not implemented and the educational work included in the smoking prevention and control strategy is not reinforced.
Palabras clave : Smoking; price; consumption; Cuba.

Net pots come in various sizes and can be used in various applications to suit different needs. Net pots are suited to variety of growing mediums and allow liquid to flow freely past the roots of the plants they contain, facilitating the uptake of nutrients. As the plant grows, the roots extend out of the holes in the net pot and grow down through the pots in search of water.
They permits roots to grow through the mesh and provides good air circulation and drainage. Bigger roots means plants are better able to acquire nutrients and moisture, which greatly improves plant health. Net pots not only give the plant some stability and growth potential, but also promotes a strong healthy root system.
Net pots offer a quick, simple, easy and cost effective way to make your own hydroponic system, whether it be for a simple bubble bucket or advanced NFT system.

In Monday's post, I said that something wonderful was about to happen, at least for me. Well, it happened… today.
I had a little message from WordPress congratulating me on my 500th follower! That's a big deal for me. When I started this blog just over two years ago, I had no idea what to write about, or if anyone would even be interested.
I posted my first blog post on 19th December 2012… it got no likes or comments at all until last year! Since then, I'm happy to say things have picked up a little. My most popular blog post since I started is still Hy-Brasil | Mysterious Lost Island of Irish Mythology.
But the best thing about blogging is getting to know all of you! Many of you take the time not only to read my posts, but to like, Tweet and comment on them, and the conversations we have via blog comments, on my posts and yours, are what keeps me blogging.
So I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU for all that you do, and for being part of this little community here on Aliisaacstoryteller. And just for you, here is a short story I wrote recently called 'Letting Go', a mythological paranormal fantasy combo set on Lough Ramor, where I often walk with Indi, for you to download to your laptop or Ereader. As WordPress does not currently support the attachment of Epubs or Mobi's, please email me if you would prefer a different format.
Happy Reading and Happy Blogging, everyone! Oh, and this was my first attempt at creating my own book cover, so please be kind lol!

Mission Impossible
The Battle of Missionary Ridge on November 25, 1863, was one of the most spectacular and daunting Union victories of the Civil War.
Running north to south for approximately six miles, Missionary Ridge dominates the skyline to the east of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The ridge was the key to the defense of Chattanooga, a city that served as one of the principal railroad hubs of the war. Since September 1863, the Confederate Army of Tennessee, under the command of General Braxton Bragg, held the ridge as part of its line of operations to the south and east of Chattanooga, a line that included Lookout Mountain, the area's most prominent point. Bragg hoped his positions would allow him to starve out the Union Army of the Cumberland, which had retreated to Chattanooga following its defeat at Chickamauga on September 20. The Union counteroffensive to relieve the siege of Chattanooga culminated in a battle for control of Missionary Ridge, a battle in which Florida regiments played an important role.
Following a reorganization of the Union command in Tennessee, General Ulysses S. Grant took over Federal operations at Chattanooga. Grant replaced the Army of the Cumberland's Major General William S. Rosecrans, the losing commander at Chickamauga, with Major General George H. Thomas, whose determined leadership in that earlier battle earned him the nickname "The Rock of Chickamauga." Under Grant's command, the Union forces at Missionary Ridge consisted of Thomas's army, two detached corps from the Army of the Potomac under Major General Joseph Hooker, and the Army of the Tennessee under Grant's favorite general, William Tecumseh Sherman. The combined Union forces totaled more than 56,000 men.
Bragg's Army of Tennessee totaled some 44,000 men at Missionary Ridge. Organized on the ridge from left to right, the Confederate forces consisted of two corps under the command of Major General John C. Breckenridge and Lieutenant General William G. Hardee. Each corps consisted of four divisions; however, one of Hardee's divisions had been dispatched to Knoxville, Tennessee, and was not present on the day of the battle. Two of Breckenridge's divisions made up the left and a portion of the center of the Confederate line on Missionary Ridge, while his two other divisions fought the battle on the extreme right of the Confederate line under Hardee's corps. Floridian James Patton Anderson commanded one of Hardee's divisions at the center of the ridge.
On the left of Anderson, Brigadier General William P. Bate commanded one of Breckenridge's divisions. Bate's division included the regiments of the Florida Brigade under the command of Brigadier General Jesse Johnson Finley, former commander of the 6th Florida Infantry Regiment. Finley's brave leadership of the 6th at Chickamauga earned him Florida Governor John Milton's highest recommendation for command of the Florida Brigade and promotion to general: "I know of no gentleman whose patriotism, integrity, courage and intelligence, commend him more favorably to my consideration . . . ." The Florida Brigade at Missionary Ridge consisted of the 6th, 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 4th infantry regiments, as well as the 1st Florida Cavalry, Dismounted. Half of the Florida regiments formed a line of rifle pits at the bottom of the ridge, and the other half held positions at the ridge's crest. Finley's men just happened to be positioned at the center of the Confederate line, which bore the brunt of the Union assault.
After securing control of Lookout Mountain on November 24, Grant's corps began their attacks on Missionary Ridge the next morning. The Union attack that broke the Confederate line was not supposed to happen. Grant ordered Hooker and Sherman to attack the southern and northern flanks of the ridge, respectively. When their attacks failed, General Thomas, whose Army of the Cumberland was only supposed to make a faint attack on the Confederate center, launched an all-out assault on his own initiative. His troops quickly overran the Confederate entrenchments at the bottom of the ridge and then charged six hundred feet to the crest to secure the center of the ridge and victory for the Union.
Thomas's attack ripped into Finley's Floridians. Due to the Union attacks on the flanks of the ridge, General Bragg ordered some Confederate units from the center to reinforce the flanks, forcing Finley to thin out his lines to cover more ground. As Thomas's men advanced towards the foot of the ridge, one Florida soldier recollected, "[O]h, what a purity [sic] sight it was to see them charge in 3 solide [sic] columns across the old field as blue as indigo mud and their arms glittered like new." The three Florida regiments dug in along the bottom of the ridge held their fire until the Federals were almost on top of them. The Floridians fired their volleys but had to retreat in the face of overwhelming numbers.
Some of the wounded and most exhausted men could not leave their positions and were taken prisoner, including Lieutenant Colonel William T. Stockton of the 1st Florida Cavalry, Dismounted, who while in Union captivity wrote his wife an account of the fighting and his capture: "Our three little regiments behaved well, but we were left alone- Two of my men, were killed at my side, while successively attempting to assist me." As they withdrew up the ridge, the Floridians climbed under a rain of Federal bullets into the Confederate line on the crest.
Instead of positioning his men on the ridge along the "military crest," a position just below the top of the crest, Bragg had mistakenly placed his units on the summit of the ridge, from which it was difficult to see and fire upon the enemy. When the retreating Florida regiments joined their compatriot regiments at the crest, they realized they could not provide effective fire against the oncoming Federals. The six Florida regiments did their best to defend the summit, but had to retreat down the opposite side of the ridge as the Federals overwhelmed their positions. Robert Watson, a soldier in the 7th Florida, related how the Floridians "retreated down the hill under a shower of lead leaving many a noble son of the South dead and wounded on the ground and many more shared the same fate on the retreat."
At battle's end on the evening of November 25, Bate's division began a withdrawal from Tennessee along with the rest of Bragg's army to Dalton, Georgia, where Bate reported the Battle of Missionary Ridge had cost his unit 857 casualties. Only 33 of the 200 Floridians who had begun the battle at the bottom of the ridge survived to fight another day. The best estimate of the Florida Brigade's overall casualties places the unit's losses at 471 men, over half of Bate's division's total casualties.
The Floridians had put up a brave fight, but they and the Army of Tennessee could not prevent one of the most impressive Union victories of the war. The Battle of Missionary Ridge left the Union in control of Chattanooga and made possible Sherman's offensive into Georgia in the spring of 1864. During that campaign, the Florida Brigade of the West would continue its service as the Army of Tennessee fought the Federals all along their advance towards Atlanta.
With the exception of the Milton and Stockton quotes, all quotes come from Jonathan C. Sheppard, By the Noble Daring of Her Sons: The Florida Brigade in the Army of Tennessee (University Press of Alabama, 2012). Sheppard's book is available at the State Library and Archives of Florida, as are the papers of Governor John Milton and William T. Stockton.

|Taking It to the Streets
|Written by Craig Chester - Special to the BT
|October 2012
Shouldn't Wynwood's monthly Art Walk be for people instead of cars?
Have the surging crowds at Wynwood's Second Saturday Art Walk sent the monthly event over a tipping point? In the wake of a code-enforcement crackdown on street performances and vendors during September's Art Walk, concerned citizens and business owners are banding together to work on solutions to ensure the event's continued success.
What began only a few years ago as a subdued evening stroll around Wynwood's NW 2nd Avenue, with visits to local galleries as the centerpiece, has morphed into a regional destination event drawing thousands of people from all backgrounds -- artists, partiers, performers, curious onlookers, and the young and old. Dozens of popular food trucks keep visitors well fed and are a significant draw in themselves.
As the crowds have swelled into the thousands, so have the number of local performers, musicians, and artists who come to Art Walk to perform for a captive audience. While most local galleries close their doors by 8:00 or 9:00 p.m., these performers keep later hours. Until September's Art Walk, you'd be likely to see anything from DJs to stilt-walkers to sidewalk art vendors to impromptu break-dance parties.
With the escalating crowds have come significant growing pains. What was once a leisurely, fun, safe stroll through an emerging arts district has evolved into a competition of sorts -- thousands of pedestrians jockeying for space on narrow, overcrowded sidewalks while a row of dense, idling, exhaust-belching traffic sits on NW 2nd Avenue. As people spill off the sidewalks and into the street, the conflict between vehicle and pedestrian is exacerbated.
Art Walk is now less about "walking" than it is about delicately squeezing between rows of parked and idling vehicles to make your way down the street.
One thing is abundantly clear: With two lanes of traffic and two parking lanes on NW 2nd Avenue and only about four feet of sidewalk on either side, there is too much space reserved for cars and not enough space for people for this event to be successful, or even safe. The latter is a concern echoed by some Miami police officers I spoke with at August's Art Walk; they were worried about potential delays for first responders in the event of an emergency.
Recognizing this obvious problem, I began a few months ago building a coalition of local businesses, organizations, and individuals interested in turning Art Walk into an "open streets" event that would close NW 2nd Avenue to motor vehicles between 23rd and 29th streets and open it up to people.
The "Open Streets Project" is a collaboration between two national organizations -- the Alliance for Biking and Walking and the Street Plans Collaborative -- that support initiatives to temporarily close streets to automobile traffic so that "people may use them for walking, bicycling, dancing, playing, and socializing."
The movement on Facebook is called "Put the WALK into Wynwood's Art Walk" (@WalkWynwood on Twitter) and we are calling for a temporary street closure to allow visitors, local performers, and vendors to fill the street rather than a giant, angry traffic jam. The premise is simple: If Wynwood is known for its street art, then it's time we put the art (and people) in the street for everyone's safety and enjoyment.
While progress is being made in generating support and the funding required to pull off an open street event, there is still work to be done. Not all the gallery owners are sold on the idea, with the Wynwood Arts District Association recently voting against it at a September board meeting.
However, what happened at September's Art Walk may change their minds, if they care about the future success of the event. Last month Miami police and the local Neighborhood Enhancement Team staged a crackdown on impromptu street performers during Art Walk, sending street artists, DJs, and vendors packing. Regular attendees could sense a different vibe in the air; something was missing without the action on the street. The event was sterile.
While things like open-container laws were rightfully enforced, stifling the artists and local performers who rely heavily on Art Walk for their livelihoods over dubious permit requirements does not bode well for the future of the event.
Jeanine Joysmith, a writer for the local blog S.Y.L.I.E (Support Your Local Indie Everything) is calling for an open forum among local businesses, the Wynwood Arts District Association, artists, and concerned citizens to come together and discuss how the event can continue to be inclusive. "None of us benefit if Second Saturdays are shut down or certain people are excluded," says Joysmith. "Temporary street closures are only the beginning to keeping Art Walk a communitywide event for artists, gallerygoers, and vendors."
It's important to recognize that Art Walk needs a community-sourced strategy to ensure its future success in the midst of enormous crowds, popularity, and growing pains.
The next step is making it happen.
