Fiocchi ammo is produced by Fiocchi Munizioni, a privately held company that was founded in 1876 by Giulio Fiocchi and is still owned by the family. The main production facility is in Lecco, Italy (just south of the Swiss border) and is a world-leader in shotgun, center-fire rifle, center-fire handgun, and rimfire ammunition production.

The Godfather. The Sopranos. Pop culture's presentation of Italian family businesses here in the US – particularly ones that somehow involve firearms - isn't always flattering or glamorous. But is this presentation realistic? Or could the reality of a multi-generational Italian family business actually be better than the movies? Better yet, is there one that could even be called a true American success story? To answer those questions, the folks at LuckyGunner.com recently caught up with Carlo Fiocchi, a 4th generation Italian ammunition manufacturer. What we learned surprised us…and if you've watched either The Godfather or The Sopranos like we have, then his answers about Fiocchi ammo will really surprise you too.
In this article, Mr. Fiocchi opens up about his family's history during the allied bombing of the Fiocchi's family plants in northern Italy during World War II, how the Fiocchi family thinks about business and ammunition, and even what Mr. Fiocchi thinks about his American competitors like Remington and Winchester. . . . so let's get started, capisci?
Through gatherings like the annual family Christmas dinner, which they still observe to this day, Carlo Fiocchi was steeped in family legend and reared in the vocabulary of small arms ammunition from a very young age. "My first memories of life are in the ammunition business, from as early as 3-4 years old," Mr. Fiocchi, now 54, warmly recalls through a thick Italian accent. Fiocchi Munizioni, the 100% privately held Italian parent company, has had its share of setbacks since it was founded in 1876 by Giulio Fiocchi.
During World War II, he explains, "we were basically occupied after 1943 by the Germans and the plants suffered tremendously from air raids." Thankfully, as the 2nd and 3rd generation of Fiocchi's have told him, "the family decided to reach into what was left of their savings, pour it back into the business, and rebuild – which was not atypical for other European family businesses at the time," recounts Mr. Fiocchi.
While the destruction wrought during WWII almost eliminated the Fiocchi family from the ammunition business, their resilience and desire to rebuild created somewhat of an opportunity for them: new factories, new technology, new equipment.
Mr. Fiocchi explains that while his passion is in sales, marketing, and building his brand in the marketplace, his family has traditionally been one of engineers: "My family members are almost all engineers. We produce or design the vast majority of our own machines in our internal design shop. Our engineering department creates the specs, the dies, and the prototypes."
The customers, he points out, are ultimately the benefactors of this product-centric approach. For example, Fiocchi is NATO-certified which means they can supply all the NATO militaries and police forces: "This is an advantage for us because our factory can produce ammunition that is proven." When asked if that means ammunition sold to the United States civilian market is of similar quality, Mr. Fiocchi responded, "Yes, they are ran from the same production lines. It makes no sense [to split them up] if you consider the costs between making it well and not so well."
In 1983, Carlo Fiocchi and his family decided to bring the Italian heritage and NATO-spec quality of Fiocchi Ammunition to the American domestic market. From 1983 until 1996 Mr. Fiocchi worked to create a beachhead in America for their product before taking a break to consult for third-parties in the firearms and optics markets. As the reigns passed in 2005 from the 3rd generation (who still consult for the company from retirement) to the 4th generation, Mr. Fiocchi's younger cousins called him back into the business to lead the US market sales.
Since that time Mr. Fiocchi has been a busy man: "We have grown over 500% since 2005." At a time when many employers are cutting their payrolls, this growth has been good for Americans in Ozark, Missouri where Fiocchi America employs about 90% of their work force (the rest are in Nevada). We asked what percentage of Fiocchi ammo that is sold domestically in the United States is actually loaded here, the answer to which you can see in the breakdown over on the right. In a nutshell, more than 75% of the ammunition sold by Fiocchi in the U.S. is loaded here in the U.S., a statistic not widely known in the arms industry.
After only a short time, anyone who speaks with Mr. Fiocchi can tell that he has a commanding grip on the domestic ammunition market; his prestigious Italian speech almost melts into boyish excitement when he starts discussing new product development, the speed at which markets currently change, and the measures Fiocchi America employs to meet those changes head on. However, his tone of voice became almost reverential when he spoke about his American competitors like Remington and Winchester, "who I respect immensely."
Many Americans may not realize it, but Fiocchi actually has a long-standing partnership with Hornady. "We have a great relationship with Hornady. They are a family business also and I think our cultures of honor and integrity are a great match. We both have a family reputation to uphold and besides, they just make a top notch product." While Fiocchi currently loads Hornady projectiles into a variety of cartridges, Mr. Fiocchi recalled how they started by loading the Hornady V-max bullet into the 5.7x28mm cartridge for FN Herstal and quickly moved the partnership into more product lines. Additionally, Fiocchi loads Sierra projectiles into a number of their center-fire rifle cartridges.
When we asked Mr. Fiocchi where he wanted to be in 10 years, he said with a laugh, "At the beach, but that is never going to happen because it isn't in my nature." When we asked Mr. Fiocchi to tell us where he envisioned Fiocchi USA in ten years, he proceeded to launch into a long list of initiatives and product launches, centered mostly around the non-toxic market, that he estimated will keep him busy for at least seven to ten years. Here is a brief overview of what to look for from Fiocchi:
Law-Enforcement Product Line - Fiocchi has developed a frangible FMJ round with a compound core (instead of lead) that is approved by the Fish & Wildlife Service which they plan to build a law-enforcement ammunition line around.
Reloading Guide for Non-Toxic Ammunition - Fiocchi is currently developing a thorough at-home reloading guide for non-toxic ammunition because working with non-toxic primers requires unconventional combinations of components and assembly processes. Look for this to be released to the US market in the next 6-12 months.
Cowboy Action Product Line - Fiocchi plans to release a complete line of cowboy action products by 2011, starting with 45 Long Colt, 44 Special, 32 S&W Long, and 30-30.
When asked about the future of Fiocchi as a family business, he disclosed, "Since it is a 100% family business, matters are always politically delicate. . . . but the upside is that instead of focusing on the next quarter, we focus on the next generation when it comes to investments, strategies, and marketing." He seemed convinced that their current product lines, combined with their cutting edge non-toxic innovation, will keep the next generation of Fiocchi's with plenty of work on their hands, "We actually have 5th generation Fiocchi's working externally right now, even though none of them currently work in the family business" (which is apparently part of their secret formula to holding the family business in tact across generations).
Oh . . . . and Mr. Fiocchi's answer to our question of how he spends his days? Remember, this is a 4th generation Italian ammunition manufacturer who fits the part: tall, dark, handsome, thick accent, and an expensive pin-stripe suit. We expected to hear about late meetings in cigar-filled rooms with fellow international arms dealers, leisurely flights on private planes to private yachts, or perhaps even skydiving and driving Formula-One cars. Instead: "I don't sleep a lot," he replies and then proceeds to layout a schedule that usually starts with emails at 6am in his office and ends around 1am with phone calls to his cousins in Lecco, Italy discussing component production, supply chain management, and new product innovations. As the interview drew to a close, it began to make more sense. This is a man on a mission – a man with his name on the box.
Fiocchi Ammo was established in 1876 by its founder Giulio Fiocchi. Known as a world leader is small arms ammo, Fiocchi offers an array of products that suit the needs of target shooters, hunting enthusiasts, and the armed forces. Fiocchi's products range from center-fire ammo for rifles and pistols, rimfire ammo, components like primers, and a wide product line of shotshells. Outside of Italy, Fiocchi Ammo also has a presence in the U.S., Hungary, and Great Britain.
Fiocchi has received a number of awards for their undying focus on quality. Some of the awards that Fiocchi has achieved include the NATO AQAP-110 Certification, the ISO Certification of the Environment Management System, and the UNI EN ISO Certification of the Quality Management System. The company is headquartered in Via Santa Barbara in Lecco, Italy. Lecco is also the location of Fiocchi Ammo's main manufacturing plant.
Fiocchi Ammo is still entirely owned by the founder's family after being in business for over 130 years!

Post subject: Scilab
Scilab is a mostly nummerical package which can be used in science and engineering as an alternative to Matlab (and the free Octave). It has a similar, but not compatibel syntax and it is developed in france.
Forum member Q5sys has posted on the SageLive thread and offers a sfs of the package:
got something you might want to test to see if it works with your puplet.
I made it originally for LightHousePup, but it seems to fit right in with what you are doing.
The SciLab suite
I already packaged it as an SFS.
Might duplicate the functionatlity you already have, but it also might offer a bit more. I made it a SFS because its 118MB, and figured I could load and unload that whenever I needed.
If it works for you, feel free to bundle it with your setup.
I cannot test at the moment due to limited time and bandwith, but maybe somebody can and send short feedback.
kind regards

About installing
NumPy, SciPy and Sympy are easy to install from source. They use
a python install script
emil I had no problems compiling numpy (also can be done simply by pypi easy_install) but scipy needs lapack and(or) blas.
I see you already compiled lapack but filehosting.org has a very bad policy asking email addresses I don't want to accept, any alternatives?
And since you already did it: isn't lapack machine dependant? Will it work on any computer running puppy?
I made myself a (not shrinked tho) python sfs with python2.6, wxpython2.8, reportlab, numpy, PIL, lxml, matplotlib I use for work but since I encounter errors sometime I don't feel about sharing an imperfect solution.
Could you please make available your packages for example on [url="http://drop.io/"]drop.io[/url] like jemimah used to distribute puppeee?
Thank you very much

Post subject: problems with Sage, geogebra
Well, I spoke too soon. I got the version of Puppy 431 with Sage on CD, and booted it. Everything looked good, but when I tried to start a Sage console it crashed immediately. I suspect I need to configure something.
As per your suggestion, I tried www.sagenb.org. After I got an account set up and tried to create a notebook, it told me it failed to set up jsMath, and warned things could get ugly. (They did.) Basically, nothing worked. Sigh.
Lastly, while I have been able to run geogebra on-line, the sfs file at
failed to download more than 431 bytes. (Tried two methods of download.) The file contains over 40 MB. Could something be picking up that version number?
Must not be my day for symbolic math.

thanks emil,
in the meanwhile I hand-joined you pets in an unique sfs and added wxPython and setuptools and so, via easy_install, cython, lxml, PIL, reportlab, and matplotlib (and maybe some other I don't remember).
The global sfs is about 93Mb, I did not shrinked anything because, as a developer, I prefer full features despite minor size, just an exception for wxPython demos I keep on an sd card and can be simply tar.gz'd
I will share them if some puppy place to upload suggested.
Only one note: I used puppeee to compile, using its OpenGL for wxpython (should affect only wxGLCanvas) I guess it's full puppy compatible anyway.

Here's the result of free in your SageLive puplet, which is showing 1.2G in the tray as I write.
# free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 1943316 227464 1715852 0 37120
Swap: 4192956 0 4192956
Total: 6136272 227464 5908808
The Puppy I normally run (Luci204) also uses those swap partitions. It is, however, a frugal install with only 840 MB of save file shown. Could this result in the error with jsMath and www.sagenb.org? I didn't think the on-line version used much memory.
With so much RAM and swap, I haven't been worrying about space in the save file.

Hi prehistoric,
thats lots of memory
. Can't be an issue you are right.
Check error message (
sage >> error.log
) - look in error.log
Delete sage-flags.txt in the /local/lib directory as maybe suggested.
I will have a closer look on it.
hi neurino,
maybe send a private mail to one of the site admins of Puppy servers how to upload the package. If you put it somewhere on a webhost I could upload it also to my (slow) boxen.math server space, but would be better if it is on an official puppy server.
kind regards

As soon as I saw the error log, the problem was solved. This AMD machine does not have SSE3. My lapse was provoked by the way the console crashed, denying me a chance to read the message. Opening my own console solved this problem. (a "doh!" moment)
I still have to explain why www.sagenb.org has trouble with jsMath, (returns status -7) but that is a different problem.
Now, I'm in a position to get into real trouble.

Post subject: jsmath for sage notebook
I don't know exactly.
Do you also get this error when you call sagenb.org from inside the
SageLive ? I included the optional jsmath font Tex packages for optimised output. For me it works perfectly from within SageLive and from within the German puppy-431-de (from scratch, without installing anything special).
It might help to download one of the jsmath-fonts (Texfonts) from
(Maybe go for Texfont15)
and then copy it to a place where they are found
in Puppy /root/.fonts
in Ubuntu /home/foo/.fonts (for user foo)
This Latex Fonts should get detected by your browser and used.
Good Luck

2 remarks
geogebra download should work now
you have to unzip and keep Subdirectory when installing jsmathfonts, i.e.
it should look like /root/.fonts/TexFont15/cm10.ttf (dont know the exact name of that subdir)

Post subject: works like a charm
Thanks emil!
I'm spoiled by operating in American English on a U.S. keyboard. My forays into software developed elsewhere have been limited. I read German with a dictionary in one hand.
Part of my trouble came from working in development versions of Puppy where fonts have been ruthlessly culled to save space. The other came from not thinking you might be operating with special fonts other than English plus mathematical symbols.
For portable software, fonts are admittedly a real pain. A small number of built-in fonts for common language groups might be reasonable for SageLive, if space is available. If space is at a premium, it should be possible to break out some seldom-used components as special pets or sfs files, even if these only work with Sage.
I've removed that flags file from the installed version of SageLive-431, but when I went looking for something to edit it out of the iso image, I found I needed to know more about Sage installation -- the story of my life. (I'd like to make a CD that will run on most common hardware without change. I'll put it on the list of projects for my next incarnation.)

"Tragic. You hear about it in other places, but you never think about it being here."
That's what Dunkard Township Supervisor Joe Gacek said after the Feb. 11 explosion of a Chevron shale gas well in Greene County claimed the life of one worker and sent a second to the hospital.
Emergency crews set up a half-mile perimeter around the inferno and firefighters initially couldn't set foot within 900 feet because of the intense heat.
Many counted their lucky stars the well wasn't near homes or schools. But this isn't always the case. Drilling for shale gas often occurs in close proximity to homes, schools and parks.
A recent report by PennEnvironment found that there are 88 daycare facilities and schools within a half-a-mile of a permitted well, like like the Rex Energy well currently being drilled less than 1,000 feet from Connoquenessing Elementary School, and 413 within a one-mile radius. There are 17 different childcare facilities in Pennsylvania that have had five or more fracking permits issued within a half-mile radius.
Pads aren't the only danger. There is also the web of pipelines.
On Feb. 13, a NiSource pipeline in Kentucky exploded sending one person to the hospital and burning three homes, two barns and four cars. Twenty homes near the 60-foot blast crater were evacuated at night. NiSource operates pipelines here in Butler County.
Is this the future of Butler County? Are we willing to accept the risk of dangerous drilling and pipelines near our loved ones, our property, and our public parks? How long will it be until a government or school official in the county echoes the sentiments of Mr. Gacek?

Crockpot Black Bean Stew with Roasted Red Pepper, Chicken, and Cilantro
Black Bean Stew with Roasted Red Pepper, Chicken, and Cilantro
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
I used a 4.5 quart Crockpot slow cooker to make this, but any size from 3.5 to 4.5 quarts will work. Check after recipe for instructions for cooking on the stove.
1 onion, chopped
3 cans (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed well (could also use several types of beans)
2 cans (14.5 oz.) petite dice tomatoes
1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red pepper, diced
1 can (4 oz.) diced green chiles (I used Anaheim chiles, only mildly hot)
4 cups chicken stock (I used homemade chicken stock.)
3 T dried cilantro (or less, if you're less enthusiastic about cilantro)
2 T ground cumin (or less if you're not sure how much you like cumin)
1 T minced garlic
2 tsp. dried Mexican Oregano (probably optional, but good in this)
2 cups diced, cooked chicken (or more)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or more)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Stovetop Cooking Instructions:
Chop onion and saute in a small amount of olive oil in the bottom of large soup pot. Add drained black beans, tomatoes, diced red pepper, and green chiles same as above. Increase chicken stock to 6 cups, and slightly decrease spices for stovetop cooking. Simmer stew at medium simmer about 45 minutes. Lower heat slightly and add diced chicken, cook 10 minutes. Add chopped cilantro and cook 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired and serve hot.

Post subject: XMMS, XNView
The version of XMMS posted on your site works perfectly with Puppy 5, and I wanted to thank you for that. It's sort of like having an old friend reappear.
XNView, however, is another story. It installs OK but simply won't run or open a file, it just appears then exits. PPM didn't complain of missing dependencies on install. Any suggestions? I found a .sfs of a newer version (MP) that will run on Luci but it's not nearly the program 1.70 was. It won't even support printing.
Appreciate any ideas!

XnviewMPbeta0.26.sfs is the latest build. The development progress is really slow. That sfs has only viewing properties.
I will post next version when the developer makes progress.
And I made the sfs in early Upup phase so it should work in Luci. I have made it my default viewer all the time. Why ? Because it can rotate photo automatically when viewing based of digi photos EXIF data from the camera.

Post subject: assistance with upgrading from Puppy 5.0.0 to 5.1.1
G'day Smokey,
Thank you for responding so promptly!
I have installed Puppy on a 7-year old desktop PC and it really works like a dream, it flies. But I'm sure you know that already.
It is a full installation on a relatively new harddisk with 160 GB capacity, so there is plenty of room for Puppy expansion
I have been using Linux for nearly 10 years but not done much on the operating system side of things, just installed and used. I have been an applications software developer nearly all my working life until I retired 3 years ago at the age of 65. Obviously you cannot work with software and computers that long and not pick up something about OS. I have also used Ubuntu & Linux Mint (an Ubuntu derivative) and their updating system is very streamlined. However, I love Puppy Linux and really want to make it my premier Linux.
So, back to my question:
Is there a simple way of upgrading Puppy from 5.0.0 to 5.1.1 or should I download the ISO file and do a fresh install?
And if that is the answer, are there any good reasons to do so right now?
Cheers from Qld,

Ole, one of the great things about Puppy is the many ways it can be installed. We generally only refer to frugal and full. It can be installed on various types of media even Micro SD cards. There are advantages and disadvantages with both.
I will attempt to provide some information which should help you make a decision.
Live Method
Many people who like to experiment simply use the live cd/dvd method. This is simply burning the ISO to a CD or DVD then booting from that media. Once you have everything setup the way you want such as your network, icons, browers etc, you can quit and save your setting either to your hard drive or actually write it to the CD/DVD. I find it a bit painful continually saving sessions to the CD/DVD and usually write the save file to the HDD. Don't worry if this sounds confusing there are plenty of prompt to help you along the way. Next time you boot from the CD puppy will find the save file.
Frugal Method
This is my preferred method as it provides ease of use and an easy upgrade path. It is still best to boot from the CD then use Puppy Universal Installer (PUI) to install puppy to your Hard Disk Drive (HDD). It can be installed on a FAT32, NTFS and various Linux partitions. In other words it's easy to install along side windows on the same partition if you like. I prefer to use Linux partitions such as EXT2, EXT3 or EXT4 as I find them much more reliable. The PUI will place three files in a directory of your choosing, something like /puppy511. I won't get into booting specifics at this time as you probably are aware of GRUB and LILO.
Lets assume you have puppy 5.1.1 booted and running as a frugal install. The first time you either reboot or shutdown, puppy will ask you to save the puppy save file. Select yes. It will also ask you where you would like to save it. I always save it in the same directory as the other three files previousy mentioned in /puppy511. Now you have four files in the directory and this is all you need. Of course there are many other files squashed within some of these files but you don't need to worry about them as they will take care of themselves.
After the computer has saved the save file and shut down, you can start it up again. This time if you have the bootloader configured correctly it should start puppy. Just remember all of your settings and additional software that you add will be stored within the save file by default so it can become quite large if not managed. I suggest you keep all of your documents and photos etc on another drive.
Ok, here comes the good bit. Lets assume puppy 5.1.2 is released and you want to try it. you can create another directory called /puppy512, copy the three new files off the new ISO you have downloaded and place them in the directory /puppy512, then copy the save file from /puppy511 to /puppy512. Make the appropriate edits in the GRUB menu.lst file and reboot. Select the new puppy 5.1.2, it will load and convert your old save file to the new puppy. All of your settings and installed software will be available in the new distribution. The whole process will take between 1 - 5 minutes.
Full Install
I'm not sure if there is an easy way to upgrade using a full install. I have done it but it is quite complicated. My advice would be to use PUI and install from scratch. You will also have to install it on a Linux partition. The benefits of a full install is not having to worry about the save file running out of space. You are only limited by the amount of space on your Linux partition. You will also notice there are files scattered all over the place. The file structure is similar to the frugal install but not as well package for ease of use. There will always be many opinions to which method is best. I think you will find frugal is the most popular especially will people who like to experiment with new puppies on a regular basis. When the save file runs out of space it can be increased. I like to keep about 2G of spare space in my save file. I also load a lot of my additional software outside of the save file such as Open Office which is larger than puppy itself. By it being outside the safe file means it's available to other puppies as well without having to reinstall.
Another great reason to use frugal is the ability to use SFS packages. This can be many programs packed into a single file. You place it in /mnt/home and tell boot manager to load it at startup. This does not affect your save file.
I hope this assists in your decision making.

I use full installs.
To upgrade I burn a new cd, mount it (puppy pfix=ram).
Run the universal installer for full install.
Choose "upgrade", not "wipe".
No need to reinstall grub.
It will save your previous settings.
This has worked fine on the 4.xx and 5.xx Puppies for me.
I have a number of full installs on their own partitions just for
testing. Find it easier and more reliable than frugal installs.
Unless there is something new in 5.1.1 you really want; upgrading
isn't really necessary.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs

Post subject: assistance with upgrading from Puppy 5.0.0 to 5.1.1
Thanks to Smokey for the detailed explanation of the difference between the various ways to install Puppy.
And, thanks to Rjbrewer for explaining how to do an upgrade install without losing previous settings and data files. That is exactly what I needed.As for the need to upgrade, I don't know if there is any benefit to me, but I can always hope that there are, however, Coolpup wrote me privately and said: "Fresh install of 511; the sooner the better." He didn't say why "the sooner the better" but I am assuming he has a valid reason for the statement, so I will definitely go ahead within the next couple of days.
I really do like Puppy Linux and it is the only distro I have tried which runs without graphics problems on my 7-year old desktop PC.
Thanks all for helping. I will let you know how it all went when I'm done.

Luci512 with needed pulseaudio additions, vlc, audacious, aqualung, FoxitReader, transmission also added, at last works. Xorg-server was missing some pets. After installing them intel driver started to work. I found usable python+431.sfs which has pygtk included. I needed just to copy stream2ip folder and launch "pulseaudio --system" from terminal and launch "stream2ip.py" and my wireless music streaming works !!
ISO is massive 204 Mb.
Only minus so far is that tunapie does not work with that python.sfs or I am missing some wx-stuff.
sh-3.00# tunapie
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/tunapie/Tunapie.py", line 23, in <module>
import wxversion
ImportError: No module named wxversion
My first custom woof build lucid 512 that works. I am happy now.

Solution was easy to my Tunapie and stream2ip combo problem and missing python modules. I installed python2.6-Lucid from repo to get right python bin. Then I deleted pymodules, pyshared and python2.6 folders from /usr/lib and substituted them from my previously succesfully installed luci. That one had pygtk included which I had compiled myself. And now tunapie and stream2ip works. No need to that python sfs which had pygtk but no support to tunapie.
And my devx worked when I compiled my other needed stuff.
Tempestuous rfkill enabled wireless modules works fine. I can switch of and on wlan and wireless driver works. Really good stuff. Thanks to tempestuous.
I have struggled all the time with flsynclient but I have concluded that it misses those properties my touchpad needs, especially better fine tuning of palm detection. I have huge pad and my left thenar rests above pad. It activates many kind of unneeded functions. Mostly I lose all my writing
I renamed .flsynclient and added needed Options to my xorg.conf under synaptics. Now I am satisfied.

Our living room recording digi-tv desktop computer crashed yesterday. I havent solved so far what did broke down.
So I tested dvb-t usb tuner and vlc for digi-tv solution.
I downloaded af9015.fw from link posted by jemimah and installed it to /lib/firmware.
sh-3.00# dmesg | grep dvb
dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech AF9015 DVB-T USB2.0 stick' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
usb 1-1.4: firmware: requesting dvb-usb-af9015.fw
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-af9015.fw'
dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech AF9015 DVB-T USB2.0 stick' in warm state.
dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer.
dvb-usb: Afatech AF9015 DVB-T USB2.0 stick successfully initialized and connected.
usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_af9015
Then dvb-apps from ubuntu repo. In terminal: "scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fi-Tampere > /root/channels.conf". Dvb-apps installs a lot of ready channel files like my fi-Tampere. In terminal type scan and you can scroll the pages up to find if there is yours already included.
From this link scripts to use vlc as dvb-t player and recorder with timer:
I made folder outside savefile /dvb/recordings for big .mpg files. /dvb has those scripts and channels.conf copy.
It works !!!
Does anybody know handy channel changer gui for vlc tv watching ? Those scripts select one channel but then you need to launch it again to change channel and the second vlc appears also.
EDIT: In terminal: "vlc -vvv /root/channels.conf" opens vlc and tv. Channel can be changed using: Next media in the playlist, clickable button.
To record: in vlc > View > Advanced controls > click record button. Change record folder: Tools > Preferences > Input & codecs settings > Record directory or filename > browse or write your path.

Have you considered rolling that all into one PET so that others may benefit from your experience with a single step?
Or is that not possible?
Thanks! David

Not much to put into the .pet. Mostly you have to get your usb-stick tuner working, get working channels.conf and configure vlc for recording.

Before I get into this week's list, which may or may not be exciting depending on how you feel about compost, I have to point out that I haven't done ANY of the items on this list. Why not? Well Lillian decided it was a good time to get sick and when she does sick, she does it good. Apparently the doctor believes she has viral meningitis, as opposed to bacterial meningitis which is the especially nasty kind, and she's been laid up for going on a week now. High fever, low spirits, highly contagious which means I've been stuck in the sick room nursing my baby and worrying until she shows signs of improvement--what are the chances she'll get better in time for me to go to Bouchercon this week? Two years I've waited to go to that conference and that's the week she decides to get sick.
In an unrelated news item, and to the disillusionment of anyone who might have thought I had any kind of cool going on, here's a story for you: I was getting ready for bed two nights ago and was brushing my teeth. I had the medicine cabinet door open, with the thin edge of the cabinet door pointed at me, when suddenly and completely out of nowhere in the middle of my rinse cycle I let go with an ENORMOUS sneeze.
Now this wouldn't be newsworthy except that my head flew forward at Mach 10 with the force. You remember that cabinet door I mentioned? Well I head butted it straight on that skinny edge with the force of an atomic blast. All Andrew heard was a loud "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" as my forehead made contact with door, which I had hit so completely solid and head-on that it didn't have anywhere to go, it was like head butting a concrete wall.
After picking myself up off the bathroom floor and clearing the stars from my eyes ("Am I dead?" "Is this heaven?") I determined that I had, in fact, survived the ordeal but was now sporting a world-class knot in the middle of my forehead from the encounter.
So if you see this freakishly tall woman at the grocery store with a large purple goose egg on her forehead you'll know it's me. Moral of the story? Make sure you don't brush your teeth while facing an open medicine cabinet door. They should put a warning label on those things for idiots like me.
On with my list, "Things I Should Be Getting Ready for Winter":
1. Time to put the trampoline away. Not that it really needs to get put away, it can handle snow I suppose, but something about stashing it away and bringing it out again in the spring makes it feel new every time. Plus, with my crew, there's aways a patch job to do on the dumb thing so it makes sense to fix it when it's down for the season. Another hole, another $50 trip to Alaska Tent and Tarp. Sigh. Boys are so hard on things. In the dictionary when you look under the term "destruction" it says: "See 'pre-teen males'."
2. Time to get rid of the annuals. I save this for last every year because I hate doing it so much but you want to know a secret? When I clean out the pots of annuals on my back deck I throw the mass of plants and roots and soil under our deck. Heh heh! You can't see them or know they're there, but that's what I do. Makes me feel wicked but it's not like it hurts anything to throw them under there.
3. Time to wash the cars. Yea, better wash them 'cause they won't get another soaping until after the spring thaw.
4. Time for one last mow. I used to rake the fallen leaves up but then I read Jeff Lowenfels (our local gardening guru) say it was better to just mulch them into the grass and that was all it took for me to cut out raking from the agenda. Any excuse to be a little lazier and I'm okay with it. Many thanks Jeff, you're my hero.
5. Time to bring in the herbs. Actually I already did this, I forgot. The last two years I've tried to winter all my herbs in the garage (nothing like fresh rosemary in January to perk you up) but things haven't gone so well. So I've rigged up this space-age-super-cool-oxygen-tent-thingy on the workbench with grow lights above and wrapped all around with those silver space blankets to keep the heat in and reflect the light. I'm so darn proud of the design I'd almost post pictures of it if I didn't think it would drive everyone to insanity with boredom. You won't be thinking it's boring when I've got fresh sage for my turkey at Thanksgiving! No siree Bob.
6. Time to wrap the trees. Okay this is kind of funny, I've had this ongoing war with the local moose who ravage my lilac bush and crabapple tree in the front yard each winter. They strip the bark, bite off the buds and make me want to hire a sniper (I've wondered if I'd get caught if I poisoned the branches). One year I'd heard that there was this product guaranteed to keep the moose away so I bought some. It was this brownish powder that was to be mixed with five gallons of water. Once it was mixed it smelled kind of funny. Nasty actually so I looked at the ingredients and turns out it was deer blood mixed with oil. Oh well, I shrugged and began painting it all over the branches according to the directions but you can imagine how that the tiny branches and remaining leaves might make things rather messy. When I was done I didn't realize it but I was covered head-to-toe in blood splatters. I could have been picked up by a CSI team and I scared my neighbor when she got a look at me. I didn't understand her reaction until I saw myself in the mirror once I was done. Heh, it was pretty bad.
End of the story? After all that work it kept the trees safe until about January, so this year I'm trying bird netting--I'm going to win this battle in the end I'm telling you. Stupid moose.
7. Time to harvest the rhubarb. I need to get it picked before the frost kills it and makes it all schloppy-jiggly. Of course this means I have to chop it once it's picked. And that means I'll need a place to put it once it's chopped and in freezer bags. And that means that I'll have to clean out the freezer to find extra space. And that means I'd have to actually get up off the couch, stop blogging and do some work. I'm not ready for that kind of pressure so it may have to wait.
8. Time to change the tires. I hate this chore because it's a pain to wait for your car to get the snow tires on and then to have to pay $67 on top of that for the job is just irritating. A necessary evil and better than getting in an accident later this winter but irksome none the less.
9. Time to put away the hoses. Oh I'd better get this done soon, or those pipes will be in bad shape.
10. Time to secure the gates. The ground freezing makes it shift up and down so that if I don't unlock the gates to the back yard and secure them they rip right off their hinges. Got to have them closed so those moose don't get my back yard but have to be open so they don't get torn up. Ah! The joys of Alaska. I could write a post on permafrost and frost heaves . . .
11. Time to put away the deck furniture, swings and bikes. Anyone want a bike? Yours for free if you come and get it. Over the years we've collected four extra bikes so now there are ten. TEN BIKES under the deck in the bike wrack. It's like they're proliferating under the deck and there's no way to stop it--like rabbits or gremlins or something.
12. Time to stock up on ice melt, antifreeze. Oh and hot chocolate. Though I'll drink that all year round actually but it's good to have lots of extra stuff for the cold days ahead.
13. Time to wash out the trash cans. What is that smell? Oh, just the garbage cans. You know that Windex outdoor window wash stuff? It's perfect for washing out garbage cans too, but the trick is remembering to do it after the trash has been collected before anyone sticks more trash into the cans. Very tricky timing.
See, I told you the list was exciting. If you're looking for more excitement check out the new Winter Bazaar that's starting next Wednesday. It's gonna be great . . .

On Dec. 17, I had successful back surgery at Butler Memorial Hospital to repair slipped discs and spinal stenosis.
Unfortunately, within a few days, I developed several medical complications that extended my stay for a total of 25 days.
I would like to acknowledge the excellent care, kindness and consideration of all the doctors, nurses and other staff members who had a role in my care.
My experiences at Butler Memorial always have been extremely positive, and I and my wife can't praise the hospital and all attending staff enough.

We're a family of lists. Well, actually, Andrew and I like to make lists and we just drag the kids along for the ride but regardless last month we all sat down and made a list of things we're going to do this summer.
Summers in Alaska are short so if we don't make lists and jump right in suddenly it's August and school's starting and what have we got to show for our three months of constant daylight except a lot of mosquito bites?
So here's some things we've got on the calender and a few of them we've already tackled. Just looking at them all makes me feel . . . so . . . so . . . Alaskan.
1. Dig for clams. I went clam digging once or twice as a kid and remember it being pretty fun--though I just did the digging part and left the nasty cleaning up to Mom while I played in the lake. Somehow it seemed like a fun thing to do this year so clamming was my contribution to our list. But once all the votes were counted and we'd committed to going I was a little perplexed as to the details. I know where to go but I'll have to research exactly how to get there. I know what tools we'll need but I'm a little fuzzy on technique and I know I can cook with clams--I'm visualizing a killer linguini--but haven't a clue how to clean them. They're supposed to come out of their shells before you put them in your mouth right? I've got that far in the process . . .
I guess you'll have to check back later to see if we actually pulled this one off.
2. Make a zip line. Check. Mission accomplished. I really shocked them all when I put this at the top of the list and Andrew was definitely skeptical but if you saw my post earlier this week you know it was a sound success. Now we'll just have to build a Zuper line (that's what I'd call a Super Zip line) over the cliff near the cabin for us grown-ups to enjoy. Hang onto your purses ladies.
3. Fish. We thought about going deep sea fishing for halibut down in Resurrection Bay because I've never done that before but the cost of the charter for the six of us is a little steep so we've instead settled on plain ol' silver salmon fishing in August when the cohos are in. I've actually caught a silver salmon before. Well I held the pole when the fish swam by and took the bait if you can count that. Someone else took me out to the place to fish and someone else got my pole ready and someone else put bait on the hook and handed me the pole. It hardly counts but it's the closest I'm going to get I fear if real fishing means touching raw salmon eggs.
4. Visit Crow Creek Mine. This is something Lillian wanted to do for her birthday and is our next thing on the list. There's gold panning at the mine and we're all looking forward to coming back stinkin' rich. With the price of gold what it is it'll only take a flake or two to push us into the next tax bracket--and goodness knows we're a family of flakes.
5. Learn to ride a bike. Well, actually this is specific to Lillian. She wasn't quite there with the two-wheeler thing last summer and has had to wait all winter to be able to give it another go. Spring came and first thing she said is that she wanted to learn how to ride a big kid bike.
Andrew took her out a week ago and went around with her a bit and she did alright. He came back inside and the next thing we knew we looked out the big front window and there's Lillian wobbling down the street on her own.
She's still a little shaky with the whole thing--picture a baby horse standing for the first time and that would give you an idea of her balancing skills--but it looks promising. We'll take her over to the high school track where she can ride around and around and practice staying between the lines before we unleash her on an unsuspecting city. Don't worry.
6. Go bamping. Which leads me to number six: go bamping. This is a special Mitton word for going camping with your bikes. Bikes+camping=bamping. It started several years ago when Andrew took the kids for an overnight trip down on the peninsula and they took their bikes along for a ride along the trails there and it was such a smash hit (maybe "smash" hit isn't the best way to describe it) that they've gone every year since and it's developed into a full-blown family tradition. With Lillian riding her real bike this year it ought to be fun.
7. See Kung Fu Panda. Andrew is a huge Jack Black fan. I'm not sure why because though the man can be funny (Jack Black, not Andrew--though Andrew's funny too but in a skinnier, paler and less-hairy way) his flavor of humor is something I can only tolerate for so long but Andrew giggled all through School of Rock like a little girl. However, Kung Fu Panda is one we all want to see so I think we're going to make a family adventure of it by seeing it together on Independence Day. I say adventure because it's going to cost a whopping load of dough to get us all through the ticket booth--which is why we'll be forced to sneak in the popcorn. And then on holidays they don't have the cheapy hours as much as on regular days. Eesh! But on behalf of karate-chopping pandas everywhere I can say in confidence that we're looking forward to seeing it.
8. Have a movie night in the playhouse. We have a large shed in the backyard that we turned into a playhouse way back when. We put in windows, threw in carpeting on the floor and made a loft area. Over the years any old furniture we wanted to discard but were too cheap to haul to the dump we threw into the playhouse until it became quite the cozy little cottage in the back. Andrew jokes that someday we'll run a gerbil tube out to it so his mother will have a place to live. Not that his mother's a gerbil, gosh that wasn't what I was implying . . . open mouth, insert foot.
Anyway, in the summer we'll run extension cords out to the playhouse and show movies out there for fun. It's not as if a movie is a novelty but watching a movie outside--now that's a thrill. It's the closest we can get to a drive-in theater I suppose.
9. Build a soapbox racer. This was another idea that got me some weird looks from the rest of the room when I suggested it but years ago I found some plans for building a racer and the boys are finally big enough to tackle it themselves. We made the trip to the hardware store yesterday for all the parts and we're going to build us a roadster. No, make that "we're going to build us a COOL roadster." Really cool. This one will definitely require a post. When we've finished I'll share the pictures and I think we've talked some friends into building one too so we can race them. Oh it's going to be fun.
10. Attend the air show. Every year Elmendorf Air Force Base opens up for visitors where you can tour the aircraft and see a top notch air show. In the past years they've had to cancel because of the costs associated with the war in Iraq but they're back this year with another installation of Arctic Thunder and the Thunderbirds (and if that doesn't just reek of cool I don't know what does--just try to tell me you can see those guys go by without hearing Top Gun music in your brain). I like going, I'm hoping they have one of the new F-22A Raptors on display. Oh, and I've had it confirmed that if you email them ahead of time you can get a special invitation to attend the practice for the air show on June 27 for people who may not be comfortable in the huge crowds that the regular show draws. Elderly, people with special needs, etc. Nice of them isn't it?
11. Hike Point Hope. There's a place a cross the inlet from Anchorage that Andrew has wanted to hike for years. YEARS. Every year he brings up the possibility of hiking Point Hope and every year it seems we shoot him down. Maybe this year will be his chance and we can give it a try. He's so happy about it he went out and got a dehydrator so he can prepare his own dehydrated meals specifically for his hiking pleasure. He's dehydrating everything now--chicken, bowls of cold cereal, Skittles, socks, toilet paper . . . I'd better watch out or he'll be dehydrating the kids for greater portability.
12. Camps. Each of the kids have a week of camp going this summer which normally I really look forward to. Nothing like having some respite half way through the summer where the Boy Scouts of America say, "Here, pay us an enormous fee and we'll take your testosterone-laden son off your hands for a week and will teach him to be even manlier." But this year as luck would have it Spencer and David have Boy Scout and cub scout camp on the same week. And, as luck would have it further that week happens to be the week I'll be at BlogHer in San Francsico. Dang! All that money for scout camp and I don't even get to enjoy the benefits of it! It's like a wasted week or something. Oh well, at least the boys will have a blazing good time.
13. Dip net for salmon. Have you ever gone dip netting? It's just what it sounds like, you get your nets, head down to the river and you dip in to fill up with salmon. If you like salmon then this just might be the ultimate fishing experience for you because--depending on the fishing limit that year--you can collect scores of fish. Make that scads. MILLIONS of fish. Well, maybe not millions but a lot. Enough to fill your freezer for the winter and it's quite the experience. We've wanted to go try it for a couple years now and I think this may be the year we get up off the couch and go slaughter some fish.

Cool Alaskan Things We're Going to Do
We're a family of lists. Well, actually, Andrew and I like to make lists and we just drag the kids along for the ride but regardless last month we all sat down and made a list of things we're going to do this summer.

I love air shows. My grandfather flew biplanes in the Air Corps way back when. We took him once to an old-time air show and he walked around saying "I flew that one, and that one, and that one really stunk, that one over there was a real beauty..." What a day it was for all of us.
Sounds like you guys are all set for a great summer!
- Nature Nut said...
Sounds like a good old time this summer in Alaska! My brother and his family live outside Anchorage (just moved back after 10 yrs in St. Croix). I haven't been to Alaska since 1991, but looking forward to returning next year with my family for a visit. What a beautiful and awe-inspiring place :)
- Darla said...
Sounds like a busy, exciting, and fun summer! I hope you get to do everything on your list!
- SuburbanCorrespondent said...
Our main summer activity here is how not to die of the heat and the humidity. Maybe I should get more creative.
- Poli said...
Wow, your summer will be so full of adventures! I wish mine will be too but I'm not so sure..
- Amber M. said...
14. Eat lunch with Amber...:-)
We love the Thunderbirds, too.
- Stephanie said...
Lydia is on the bike learning adventure too. She is a little scared of the whole process, but really wants to learn....we'll see.
Dip netting sounds like my kind of fishing. little skill, little time and lots of fish! Just up my alley! :)
- Did You Know? said...
wahaha. this is my favorite food
- tjhirst said...
We love BAMPING but didn't know there was a word for it. We are in the process of making our list, too, and now we can name it right.
- Jen said...
That is a very awesome list! My list goes something like this:
1) Finish spring classes that you didn't get on time.
2) Start summer classes that you aren't starting on time.
3) Run a lot of experiments on little kids.
4) Watch my kids.
5) Go to library story hour and Indian Creek Nature Center's preschool nature hour.
6) Get married.
7) Have a reception.
8) Try not to lose your mind.
Maybe next year I'll have a more interesting one!
- Janet said...
Ooh, can we come on the hike with you? Most of the other stuff would need to wait until kidlets are a bit older. And know how to swim and ride bikes and such.
- Shannon said...
Great list!
My husband and son will be attending a week long air show in Oshkosh WI this summer, along with my husbands father. Grandpa used to fly a small plane himself and I guess this Oshkosh thing was a father/son tradition for my husband growing up. I'm glad they'll have this opportunity together.
I should get busy making my own list. . . the kids will be out of school next week ( :
- Anonymous said...
That actually sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you are able to fit it all in!!
- Annie said...
I didn't know you could go dip net fishing. When I lived in Juneau I used to go "snagging" quite a lot...it sounds bad, but the fish really were on their last leg anyway. It was a lot of fun and quite a workout. I remember catching a 50lb salmon (at the time a little less than half my weight). Fishing is what I miss the most. It is just not the same down here in the rivers and streams. Everything is just so big up there, especially the fish.
Hey are you going to the Mountain Man marathon in Seward this year...if so, you guys should check out the aquarium down there...if you haven't already...it is awesome!
- Roo said...
A friend of mine in Western NY is doing STAYCATIONS this summer. She is the mother of 7 kids and with the cost fuel what it is they decided they can't afford to travel. She put out a request on her blog yesterday for the readers to post a blog about the neat things about their home. She will check them out late next week and use them to learn about our homes. I sent her a link to your posting today. I thought it fit in well.
- Andria Sommers said...
If you need some pointers on claming I bet my dad would be the one to ask. And if you have any questions about fishing he could help you out I am sure. Brian Smith, he is in the anchorage south stake presidency. YOu can tell him I sent you. :)
- Karen said...
Oh, stop. You are making me SO homesick! :)
When I first got married, my husband and I took our mountain bikes on Ressurection pass...I think I died somewhere along the way, because it was torture. Bike a few yards, walk the rest of the way...lol.
And the clamming! Oh, how I miss the extreme low tides and going to Anchor Point and digging for some clams. I don't eat clams, I just love digging for them. The razor clams are hard buggers to catch. They're fast! good luck and have a fun summer!
- Fawn said...
Oh my goodness, a playhouse! That is too, too awesome. (Can you get to the slide from the loft area? Because that would be just too over the top!)
The best thing for me when I was learning to ride a bike was coasting down a gentle hill in the schoolyard at the corner of our street. It was a safe place to practice and coasting down the hill gave me a chance to really get the hang of the balancing thing without having to also deal with the forward momentum thing.
What a fabulous list!
- Motherhood for Dummies said...
we will take you guys clamming. I have been before and know the technique! We love it and want to go here soon anyways :)
- Tim Appleton (Applehead) said...
I am pretty much game when ever the activity has the word slaughter in it.
- The Estrogen Files said...
Hmmm. You guys are having way more fun this summer than we are! We're staying home, going to the library weekly, having a baby, and doing nothing.
Enjoy your summer!
- TONYA said...
Now that is an impressive list.
Mine will be trying not to lose my freaking mind as the kids destroy the house and my older one whines about being bored every 2.3 seconds of every day.
Going to come up with a better list now.
- Kelly @ Love Well said...
I would love to join you for a few of those -- especially the bamping and the air show. We used to attend the air show every year at the Navy base near us; it was always a fantastic (if deafening) event.
- AlaneM said...
Dip netting sounds like a blast. I love salmon but can't afford it most of the time.
I've always wanted to go clam digging too - yum, yum!
- AlaneM said...

- MiaKatia said...
That sounds like an amazing list. I am afraid that if we lived in Alaska we would squander all of these amazing outdoor opportunities. Makes me want to find out what is available here... I went clam digging with my mom once up in WA. It was kind of fun but I would not eat a clam to save my life back then. Ummm yeah I still wont eat a clam ;)
- mommy2twinkies-Deb said...
Wow, sounds like you've got a busy summer ahead of you!
- Damselfly said...
I love "bamping"!
- Michelle said...
That's a great list;-) especially the movie in the playhouse...oh and the bamping sounds like a great summer at the scribbit's..thanks for the blog visit.
- Angela Fehr said...
I so want to build a zipline on our yard - we have just finished landscaping and have a perfect place for one!
And you've motivated me to make a list of things we want to do here in northern BC this summer. I just wish my kids were a little bigger - no biking for us yet!
- Beck said...
That list is GREAT. We're planning on building a zip line this summer, too!
- 2KoP said...
Though we live thousands of miles away, just outside of Chicago, our list of summer plans does not seem that different than yours. (We won't make an actual list though — too much pressure; see my post on this very topic.) I have one learning to ride a bike; we've got two weekends pegged for camping; we have just penciled in a hike at Volo Bog; I have three going to cool summer camps; and my husband and three boys go to the Chicago Air and Water Show every year (too loud for my daughter and me. You should post your summer movie plans on the blog called Shedworking. Our shed is just a shed, but our summer is shaping up nicely.
- Katherine said...
Sounds like a wonderful summer. We should make a summer list...
Last summer my boys went to Boy Scout and Cub Scout camp the same week and I loved the peace and quiet at home. This year they go on successive weeks - I thought I would rather they go together, but now I'm deciding that 2 weeks of little or no fighting is even better!
- Heffalump said...
You can find clam cleaning instructions at http://westportwa.com/activities/razorclams/cleaning.html
- Knitty Geek said...
Your list, she is amazing! As I continue learning from you, we will be making a list this weekend when we have our first Family Council. Maybe that will help my teenagers get into the whole idea of a family meeting.
- Jennifer said...
There is nothing better than the satisfied feeling of a perfect list:)
All your ideas sound so fun. I am storing all the Alaska ideas up for when my hubby and I fulfill our secret wish to live in Alaska someday:)
- Chief Family Officer said...
OMG, I've never heard of dip netting before but it sounds heavenly. I hate fishing, never caught a darn thing when we went fishing when I was growing up, but I think I could dip net. And I loooove salmon, especially raw. As in sashimi. And sushi. (And the roe, I can't believe it grosses you out, Michelle!) I love Just Bento's salmon furikake recipe, by the way, and highly recommend it.
- Cuddle Cottage said...
Sounds like you're headed for a summer of fun, fun, fun!
- Phyllis Sommer said...
sign me up for Camp Scribbit!
- Jeanne said...
What an awesome idea - making a list. I think when you commit something to print you're more likely to do it :-)
My list would start with: sleep in every day as late as the kids will let me, now that morning Kindergarten is finished!! LOL
- Janice (5 Minutes for Mom) said...
WOW - that is some ambitious list! I am tired just reading it. LOVE the Bamping. :) Good luck building those soapbox racers - very cool! (and very blogable!)
Can't wait to meet you at BlogHer!
- Char said...
Hey I started a new blog www.Starboo.Wordpress.com I'm new to blogging but please check it out. Great summer to do list! If you don't have a contact person on the peninsula, feel free to email me with road conditions, etc. :-)
- sandy said...
what wonderful life experiences
- Anonymous said...
I've had many friends from Alaska, and have heard some great salmon fishing stories--like the ones where you can walk across the surface of a river because the salmon are so thick! Our stocks in Oregon are dwindling sadly, so I will think of you enjoying lots of salmon this summer and live vicariously through you :)
- Meggan said...
Dipnetting is our family vacation this year. I can't wait. We're doing Kasilof, not Kenai. it's open 24 hours. And were going clamming this weekend for the first time.
- maslakon said...
I am interested in salmon fishing activities. I've never done it because in my country there are no salmon. he said the sensation of the salmon strike was very great.

LOUISVILLE -- Elected leaders set the stage for the construction of an Alfalfa's Market grocery store on South Boulder Road with a unanimous vote Tuesday night to approve one of the most generous business incentive packages in the city's history.

Alfalfa's, which would locate a 22,000-square-foot store near the site of a long-abandoned Safeway at 707 E. South Boulder Road, would receive a full rebate of the sales tax revenues it generates in the first three years of operation -- capped at $800,000. The natural grocer would also get a 50 percent rebate of the use taxes and permit fees paid to the city.
According to Louisville Economic Development Director Aaron DeJong, the incentive package could amount to $1 million.
"This is an unprecedented business package we're considering, but this is an unprecedented opportunity," Councilwoman Emily Jasiak said. "Yes, it is aggressive, but I think this is an exciting opportunity."
Alfalfa's arrival in the city is tied to a larger redevelopment project, featuring a 110- to 120-unit apartment complex, that has been proposed for the corner of South Boulder Road and Centennial Drive. The $3.4 million store would enliven the shopping center that has fallen into further disrepair since the Safeway closed its doors in May 2010.
The larger redevelopment project must still gain city approval before the natural grocer would break ground. The Louisville Planning Commission takes a look at that proposal Oct.
Mayor Pro Tem Hank Dalton asked Alfalfa's co-founder and chairman Mark Retzloff how financially healthy his business is and whether it will be in Louisville for the long haul.
"You're stretching the envelope of our experience and of our program," Dalton said of the city's business assistance packages.
Retzloff said Alfalfa's single location in downtown Boulder is in good shape after a sometimes-rocky start to its re-emergence on Broadway a few years ago.
"We have plenty of financing for our current location -- we just passed the break-even point (there) a few months earlier than we thought we would," he said. "We're in good shape right now."
Councilman Jay Keany asked if it is wise for the city to break its customary habit of limiting its rebate on sales tax revenues to 50 percent to businesses considering a move to the city. DeJong told him it is important to Alfalfa's that the package be "front-loaded" so that it could more easily ramp up in the first few years to sustainable sales levels.
He also said there are provisions in the incentive package that would protect Louisville's investment by requiring Alfalfa's to reimburse the city if it walks away from the site prematurely.
Earlier this year, Louisville residents inundated Alfalfa's with more than 500 letters and, according to Retzloff, "a drawer full of alfalfa seeds" as an appeal to the grocer to come to Louisville. The city, under community pressure, in June rejected an earlier redevelopment proposal for the Safeway site that relied on a more dense residential layout.
Retzloff said community enthusiasm, in addition to the aggressive incentive package, was critical to making things work for Alfalfa's in Louisville.
Mayor Bob Muckle said the alternative -- additional years of an underperforming shopping center that threatens to drag down the retail health of the entire South Boulder Road corridor -- is unacceptable.
The city estimates that an Alfalfa's would generate $3 million in sales tax revenues for Louisville over a decade and employ 100 full-time and part-time employees.
"There's just so many potential benefits, in addition to the desires of the community, to have a natural grocer in the city," he said.

Should a private party be allowed to own a public food?
Consider an item of patented food, like the strawberry: You can touch it, smell it, and eat it, but you may not own it because it contains the intellectual property of someone else.
For even more enjoyment, consider the "Vegas Strip Steak."
In 2012, the American Bar Association magazine reported the filing of a patent by Oklahoma State University on the method by which a "Vegas Strip Steak" cut of beef might be extracted from a carcas. This method was apparently unknown by milleniums of butchers until discovered by an OSU meat specialist.
If the patent for the "Vegas Strip Steak" is granted, anyone who wishes to extract the cut from a carcass would be required to get a license from the patent holder– OSU. In simple terms, obtaining a "Vegas Strip Steak" patent would give OSU control over the cut of meat in every beef cow on the planet. Were your neighbor to butcher his cow and offer you a "Vegas Strip Steak" for your having aided in the endeavor, the two of you would then become common thieves.
This brief consideration of food as intellectual property leads us to ask: How does an item of natural food become the intellectual property of a private party? How does the private party maintain control of this intellectual property; and…
Should a private party be allowed to own a public food?

Difference between revisions of "Dilijan"
Revision as of 15:59, 16 July 2014
Dilijan is a resort town with mild climate, fresh air in the northeast of Yerevan. It is famous for its amazing surroundings, called the "Armenian Switzerland" by the locals, due to the densely forested valleys and mountains with alpine meadows around. It is an excellent center for walking.
Most visitors to Armenia spend all of their nights in Yerevan. Spending a night or two in Dilijan while exploring Tavush Marz is well worth it. There are plentiful accommodations in Dilijan, from the luxury of the Tufenkian Hotel to much more basic hotels or homes. From Dilijan you can explore up to the Georgian border and the remote Shamshadin region much more easily than from Yerevan, and then continue on to Lori Marz.
Get in
Get around
Within town, for the most part, walking is quite easy. The tourist information office also has a few bicycles for rent if you'd like to go a bit further. If you need to get to some of the regional monasteries, your best bet is negotiating a package deal with the taxis. You can have the tourist information office help you translate and negotiate, as most of the drivers will not speak English. If a driver tries to change the price on you, absolutely refuse, and take the matter to the police if necessary.
Other Sights
Crafts on Sharambeyan Street. The old town street has some little shops where artisans are busy hand making their craft. Visit Revik to see his wood working studio, with some great traditional designs for everything from Christmas tree decorations to cribs. The tourist information office has additional information on local crafts purchases and local painters you can visit.
Drinking is done wherever eating is done. It usually entails vodka, though beer and wine are not uncommon.
Get out
Your options for leaving Dilijan are the same as those for getting in. Minibus (marshutni), taxi, tour or bus.
