After a bit of work, I have WPA-2 wireless working at console.  To achieve this one needs to do the following:

Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid=”Enter ESSID”
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=hex version of passphrase
}

Next you want to bring the wlan0 up via ifconfig wlan0 up
and run wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
followed by dhcpcd wlan0

The editing of the appropriate rc.d files to automatically do this on startup will provide connectivity to your wifi at login to console.

Our female juvenile eastern box turtle (Terapene carolina carolina) has gained some weight.  He is now up to 68g which is not bad weight gain for the time period.  If you look closely you can age him by the rings of his scutes.

Just weighed our pets to the nearest gram with the following results:

Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis (Sirtalis) 190g
Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis (Dusty) 188g
Terrapene carolina carolina (Turp) 51g

Turp has gained 6g of weight in two tweeks, granted she was on a full stomach when I weighed her this time.

We also have a quasi transient paper wasp which has over-wintered in the apartment with us…weight unknown (for now).
