Hindi languages
|Hindi (Central Zone)
|South Asia
|Linguistic classification:
west2812 (Western Hindi)[1]
east2726 (Eastern Hindi)[2]
The Hindi languages, also known as the Madhya languages and the Central Zone of the Indo-Aryan languages, is a dialect continuum of the Hindi zone spoken across northern India that descend from the Madhya prakrits, and includes the official languages of India and Pakistan, Hindi and Urdu. The coherence of this group depends on the classification being used; here we will consider only Eastern and Western Hindi.
If there can be considered a consensus within the dialectology of Hindi proper, it is that it can be split into two sets of dialects: Western and Eastern Hindi.[3] Western Hindi evolved from the Apabhramsa form of Shauraseni Prakrit, Eastern Hindi from Ardhamagadhi.[4]
- Western Hindi[5]
- Braj Bhasha (Brajbhakha), spoken in western Uttar Pradesh and adjacent districts of Rajasthan and Haryana
- Haryanvi (Bangaru), spoken in the states of Haryana and Delhi.
- Bundeli (Bundelkhandi), spoken in west-central Madhya Pradesh.
- Kannauji, spoken in west-central Uttar Pradesh.
- Hindustani, including the standard vernacular dialect Khariboli dialect (that is, Kauravi with influences from neighboring languages and Persian), with its standard registers of Urdu and Modern Standard Hindi.
- Eastern Hindi
- Awadhi, spoken in north and north-central Uttar Pradesh and in Fiji (Fijian Hindi).
- Bagheli, spoken in north-central Madhya Pradesh and central Uttar Pradesh.
- Chhattisgarhi, spoken in southeast Madhya Pradesh and northern and central Chhattisgarh.
Romani and Domari appear to be Central Zone languages that migrated to the Middle East and Europe ca. 500–1000 CE. Parya is a Central Zone language of Central Asia.
To Western Hindi Ethnologue 16 adds Sansi, Chamari, Bhaya (= Malvi?), Gowli (= Gowlan?), and Ghera (a Pakistani enclave of an unidentified Indian language). Sansi is particularly close to Hindustani, but it's not clear the others are actually Central Zone.
This analysis excludes varieties sometimes claimed for Hindi for cultural reasons, such as Bihari, Rajasthani, and Pahari.[6]
Use in culturally non-Hindi regions in the subcontinent[edit]
- Urdu is the official language of Pakistan. Although only the native language of 7% of the population, it is nearly universal as a second language.
- Bambaiya Hindi, the dialect of the city of Bombay (Mumbai); it is based on Hindustani but heavily influenced by Marathi and Gujarati. Technically it is a pidgin, i.e., neither is it a mother language of any people nor is it used in formal settings by the educated and upper social strata. However, it is often used in the movies of Hindi cinema (Bollywood) because Mumbai is the base of the Bollywood film industry.
- Dakhini (also called Hyderabadi Urdu), a dialect of Urdu spoken in the present areas of the erstwhile Hyderabad State.
- Bangalori Urdu, a dialect of Urdu native to Bangalore, Karnataka and a few surrounding districts.
Note: There is a slight difference between Urdu spoken in Hyderabad city (and a few surrounding districts) and the Urdu spoken in the other regions of the erstwhile Hyderabad State.
- Kolkata Hindi, a Khariboli-based pidgin spoken in the city of Calcutta (Kolkata), Shillong, etc., heavily influenced by Bhojpuri and Bengali.
- Andaman Creole Hindi is a trade language of the Andaman Islands.

when we don't care about our children
A friend summarized it best when he said "Boy, when we fail kids, we fail big time."
What does it say about a community that cares more about football than children and their well-being? What does it say about our society? I have long felt that we don't care enough about children and we have tons of policies that show that. We fail children all the time. And we fail them in bigger ways every year. I mean, look at the apathy shown to Wang Yue who was run over by a van (twice!) and laid bleeding in the street for over 7 minutes and later died. I know people like to think that would't happen here, but it's classic bystander effect in action. And I can't help but think that a lot of these men held their tongues because they expected someone else to step up and help.
Real talk, I didn't know who Jerry Sandusky, Tim Curley, Gary Schultz or Joe Paterno were yesterday morning. I had heard whispering about shenanigans at Penn State but didn't pay attention until yesterday. But I spent most of the day reading and talking about the Penn State scandal and the easiest way to describe my feelings are: totally pissed off.
I read the indictment and almost couldn't believe what I was reading. Sandusky was caught not once, but twice, in the act of raping children in the showers at Penn by two different grown men who could not get it together enough to call the police. I can understand that both men where shaken, but what about the children? I don't know what I would do if I saw someone being raped in front of me but I hope that I would have enough sense to say something to stop it and then continue having sense and call the police. I'm sure I would call my mother, like then-grad student Mike McQueary, did. But I know my mother, and I know that if I had not already called the police she would talk me through it. (But I certainly would not work for the same people who traumatized me and ignored the victims like McQueary,who is now an assistant coach for PENN. shady.)
I can understand that people may not know what to do when they know a child is being abused. The only reason why I feel confident about what I would and should do is because I was trained when I got my MSW. (go go social work!) And I realize a lot of people don't get trained but I'm surprised most of these people in this situation aren't mandated reporters. In fact, I can't believe some of them aren't. Looking squarely at Schultz.
I also can't help but wonder if more women had been involved in this process along the way. From what I've read, the only two people who have called the authorities were women – Victim 1 and Victim 6′s mom. I don't know the gender of the official at Victim 1′s high school, but they also called the authorities and banned Sandusky from the school. While Penn State eventually banned Sandusky from bringing children from his organization to the school, there was no way to monitor it and he obviously did not follow this rule.
I can't help but think of how many more young men he took advantage of. I was reading that child molesters are often caught 16 years after they start and charged with hurting far fewer children than they actually did. And with all his victims being men, it's likely that many will not come forward because of shame
I almost can't believe this happened. Almost. People ignore child abuse all the time. Unfortunately this is not a special or new situation. And that is the worst part.

hi, please see attached.
I have that problem with my post, at first i thought it was an easy fix by cleaning it good, then applying the wood hardener, wood filler (forgot what it's called), let it dry then sand and paint. But while cleaning the rotten wood, i found out that it's hollow inside ... now i'm not sure what i need to do...could someone please give me advices...
thanks experts,This message has been edited. Last edited by: tony560,
(1) find out why it rotted. it got wet someplace, somehow. fix that first.
(2) make sure the other posts are not creepy.
(3) make sure the roof and deck are solid. if not, fix that now.
(4) a hollow column will provide something around a half ton of support if it was a rated, not decorative, column. if anything in step (3) caused a clearance gap at the column, you need to replace it. this will require alternate support of the roof. otherwise, clean to good wood and a little beyond, set a dissolveable form inside like shirt cardboard, affix firmly some fiberglass screen to the sides, like with the Bondo you will use to fill the post, and when hard, use a fibered Bondo mix to fill the missing area. sand, prime, paint.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Just replace it with a PVC or fiberglass column and never have to deal with it again.
Just Google Column and hundreds of company's will come up that make them.
thanks for the advice
took me a while but here it is, hopefully it'll stay for a while...just waiting for it to dry, then sand and paint

The April 24 editorial, Restore Affordable-Housing Funds, promoted the William Sadowski Affordable Housing Act and encouraged the Florida Legislature to avoid raiding the Sadowski Trust Fund dedicated to housing help for some of Florida's poorest families.
Habitat for Humanity of Florida has for years supported funding for the Sadowski Act. Our organization, with 58 local affiliates in Florida, has long been a member of the Sadowski Coalition and advocated for the use of the trust fund monies for their intended purposes.
The editorial also mentioned funds Florida will receive from the national mortgage settlement. Habitat's proposed uses for mortgage settlement funds vary from other uses, including those of the State Housing Initiative Program known as SHIP. Settlement dollars appropriated will be leveraged with other donations to maximize the state's return on investment of these dollars.
The Habitat program instills pride of ownership because it is a "hand up, not a handout." We require family members to volunteer — called sweat equity — as they help build and finish their own homes or volunteer in other ways. They also undergo homeownership-preparedness training.
For those who cannot otherwise afford to own a home we provide a zero-percent interest mortgage, so they pay for their own homes. The mortgage payments are recycled to build more homes, which further leverages the dollars invested. And homeowners rarely continue to need government assistance, so these dollars are freed up for others.
Habitat homes create jobs by employing tradesmen and subcontractors and, once completed, generate local property-tax revenue. Our affiliates in Florida have built or rehabbed 15,000 homes so far, contributing approximately $8 million in local tax revenue.
Habitat for Humanity will put settlement funds to good use by rehabbing existing housing or through the demolition and replacement of blighted housing across the state.
Barbara Inman, president/CEO, acting executive director, Habitat Florida

Officials believe the electrical inspection and power restoration process in several Brick neighborhoods will be completed Thursday – or even as early as Wednesday night.
"There was a preliminary report, but they could finish up tonight," said Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis.
Township officials have criticized Jersey Central Power & Light since the weekend, when the decision was made by the utility company to begin requiring electrical inspections before different sections of the grid in flooded areas could have their power restored.
Previously, JCP&L restored other flood-damaged areas, including some sections of Brick, without inspections.
State and township inspection crews have worked together since Monday to complete the inspections, and many parts of Shore Acres and other neighboring sections have had power restored, Acropolis said.
Acropolis has been holding daily, 4 p.m. meetings with residents at Angela Hibbard Park during the power crisis. He said about 70 people came to the meeting Tuesday, down from about 250 on Monday.
"I'll be there every day until people get their power back on," he said.
Inspectors have the choice to either give the OK for electrical service to be turned back on, or pull the meter pan of a residence in order to keep it offline. When enough homes have been inspected, JCP&L turns on that part of the grid.
Acropolis said residents who had "even an inch" of water in their homes should have an inspection completed by a licensed electrical contractor in addition to the meter inspection completed by the state or township inspectors.

ith today's paperback release of Bury Elminster Deep, Ed Greenwood reveals some shocking developments in the world of the Forgotten Realms... with an eye on what's coming next in August's Elminster Enraged. This seems like a good opportunity to talk a little bit about Ed, Elminster, and the Forgotten Realms—and how they all interrelate.
Just about every fan of the Forgotten Realms knows that the Realms wouldn't exist without the fertile imagination of Ed Greenwood, who dreamed them up as a setting for the stories he wrote when he was six years old. That makes the Realms older than Dungeons & Dragons itself, but once Ed got his hands on the D&D rules, the connection became obvious. Since TSR published the first Forgotten Realms Campaign Set in 1987, Ed has written or contributed to 4 different versions of the campaign setting, at least 10 full-length adventures, something like 18 novels, more than two dozen rules and setting sourcebooks—and then there are the magazine articles, website articles, comic books, and so on. In a very real sense, Ed is the Forgotten Realms. (In October, be sure to check out Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster's Forgotten Realms for a glimpse into what the Realms looks like in Ed's own game—and a mind-boggling look at just how fertile his imagination is!)
Recently I've seen petitions and strong arguments that Wizards should let Ed design the Forgotten Realms for the next edition of the game. I couldn't agree more, and some of that work is already under way. The Forgotten Realms has changed a lot in the last 25 years, and although there are major themes and ideas and flavors that haven't changed at all, in some ways the Realms has veered away from Ed's original vision. He's always been on board the Realms ship, but he hasn't always been at the rudder (to use his own metaphor), and we are rectifying that even as we speak. Keep your eyes out for some big announcements along those lines in the coming months.
Elminster is one of the characters that comes directly from Ed's mind, and through the years has served as Ed's voice in the Realms—and the Realms' voice in the pages of Dragon Magazine and many other publications. In Ed's games, Elminster is the eccentric old Sage of Shadowdale, who sometimes provides information to adventurers who come looking for it, but more often is much too busy with more important matters.
The Spellplague diminished Elminster's power (along with all the rest of Mystra's Chosen), but if you've been reading Ed's recent books you know he's still an awe-inspiring figure. Yes, he's still a tremendously powerful wizard, but that doesn't make lower-level adventurers insignificant in the world. While ordinary adventurers (including player characters as well as the protagonists of many other novels) are saving villages from the Zhentarim or slaying drow in the Underdark, Elminster is ensuring that the likes of Larloch and Manshoon aren't wreaking such great havoc on the world that all those smaller heroics are rendered moot. Without adventurers, the village would be overrun by the Zhents; without Elminster, there'd be no village to save.
Elminster's not the only one making a mark on the world. In every Forgotten Realms novel we publish, heroes change the world in both small ways and large. Maybe they're fighting crime in the streets and sewers of Westgate, or tangled up in the schemes of dragons using Waterdeep as a stake in their deadly games. They could be fighting off a demonic infestation or working to keep the drow from invading the world. And in the same way, every player character who's ever adventured in the Realms has left a mark on the world as well.
It's a blast to read about Elminster's incredible adventures. It's also a blast to play your own adventures in the Forgotten Realms—to foil the plots of the Cult of the Dragon or the Red Wizards of Thay, to make contact with hidden groups of Harpers or delve into ruins from ancient Delzoun, to chase a group of thugs through the streets of Waterdeep or run like mad from the watch through the very same streets. Ed Greenwood is the Realms. The pantheon of other authors writing in the Realms are also the Realms. And hey, you're the Realms as well. It's a huge world, too big for Elminster to save by himself.
He needs your help, now more than ever.

The Daily Star
---- — There were two major injustices involving Wednesday's announcement that the Baseball Writers' Association of America didn't vote any former players into the Hall of Fame this year.
One injustice was that Jack Morris, a wonderful pitcher, failed to garner the requisite 75 percent of votes to enter the Hall in this, his penultimate chance to be on the writers' ballot.
The other injustice — far more egregious — is that the merchants of Cooperstown and the surrounding area are likely to take it in the financial shorts because we won't be getting the big influx of tourists who are lured here when a favorite player is inducted.
But there are those who believe a greater injustice was done by the writers keeping a slew of alleged steroid users out of the Hall. Jason Stark, a Senior Writer at ESPN.com, is one who is particularly outraged, based on his column Wednesday after the vote was announced.
"A man who hit 762 home runs (Barry Bonds) wasn't elected to the Hall of Fame.
"A pitcher who won seven Cy Young Awards (Roger Clemens) wasn't elected to the Hall of Fame.
"A man who hit 609 home runs (Sammy Sosa) only got 12.5 percent of the vote.
"A catcher who made 12 All-Star teams (Mike Piazza) missed election by 98 votes. …
"It boggles the mind. Doesn't it? We were just presented the most star-studded Hall of Fame ballot in maybe 75 years. And NOBODY got elected?
"It's enough to make you wonder: What kind of Hall of Fame are we building here?"
What kind of Hall, Mr. Stark? Only the best one in the whole pantheon of sports.
If ESPN, the network that brought us 2010's infamous LaBron James "I'm going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat" schlockfest, cares little about honor, well that's just too bad.
The baseball writers stood up for integrity, for the minor leaguers who didn't use steroids and never reaped Major League riches and fame because some of their competitors cheated, and for the kids who look up to baseball players as heroes.
Sure, there are miscreants and wife-beaters and drunks and racists and other cheating nogoodniks with plaques on the Hall's walls, but that was the past.
Today, the Baseball Hall stands for something. It stands for insisting that "everybody does it" is as lame for a corrupt athlete as it is for a child cheating on his homework.
Oh, and by the way, "everybody" didn't use performance-enhancing drugs. Just the cheaters, and if they want to enter the best hall of fame in the world, they'll just have to buy a ticket.

Concerns raised over plans to demolish former pub
5:00pm Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News By Andrea Collitt
A CRICKET club has urged the developers behind plans to turn a former pub into a doctor's surgery and chemist to help it improve its own facilities.
Barkley Projects has applied to demolish the Langenhoe Lion in Mersea Road, between Abberton and Langenhoe.
There would also be an 18-space car park and two, four-bedroom detached homes.
But the plans have been met with concern from residents including Abberton and District Cricket Club, based in Abberton Road.
Treasurer Brian Bashford said the planning application tried to justify the loss of the village amenity by saying the village school, hall, church and cricket club provided "adequate social provision."
But he said the club doesn't have to cash to provide the void left by the loss of the pub long term.

Scant regard for the only pub in Langenhoe and one that is over 200 years old. Langenhoe people, when you have lost the last of your inns, go drown your empty selves, for you will have lost the last of England.
Sadly, the only pub serving both Abberton and Langenhoe was closed because there was not enough custom to make it viable. Fantastic quote though even if attributable to a Frenchman...

It is a real shame that the good old Langenhoe Lion was closed. But why demolish this landmark building? It could easily be converted to a doctor's surgery as it is. The shortsighted denizens of Langenhoe and Abberton should try to salvage their consciences by all writing in with objections to the proposed demolition.
Interesting that Layer-de-la-Haye, on a less important road out of Colchester, has two thriving pubs. Maybe because their landlords have provided better service.

Partially paraphrasing Jess, a village without a pub is a place without a heart. Go to a well-run village pub and it is where the real pulse of the village is. Sit at home and drink supermarket beer all night and you will just never know this. Sad. If I had the necessary cash, I'd jump in and buy the place myself!

The best village pubs manage to please both the locals (who are only there for the beer) and the visitors (who have come to enjoy a good meal, but will not drink much beer). If the layout allows them to keep these groups largely separate, this helps make the pub a success.
It does not matter who runs a village pub, if a few locals don't welcome outsiders and make them feel uncomfortable they don't come back ant them few locals lose their pub, its tough you should have been more friendly!

Jess Jephcott wrote:You are spot on too, Jess. We may disagree on some other things, but like everyone else I greatly respect your devotion to our pubs and history.
Spot on Boris. There was not enough custom at the Lion because it was badly run. Successful pubs are a product of who runs them, not their location. A reputation can be easily lost but much more difficult to build.

The Meridian Star
"There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them." – Jim Croce, "Time in a Bottle"
In the autumn of my life, I have become very aware of the importance of budgeting my time. I keep a mental list of things I will not waste time doing, and I have a secret "bucket list" of things I want to do. But more than anything, I feel the same urgency expressed by Father Tim, of the Mitford Novels, when he said, "If I'm going to make my mark on the world I'd better get cracking."
Most people who are high achievers value their time, are aware of their priorities, and plan ahead. Therefore, I went to a very busy person for advice — my attorney. His first tip was to pray first thing each morning. He said, "I think God truly handles time like the five loaves and two fishes in the Bible. When we submit our time to Him, He blesses it. Sometimes when I know there is not enough time in the day to get everything done that needs immediate attention, I literally take my 'to do list' to the Lord for His blessing."
My attorney then told me about an idea he got from the old movie "What About Bob?"
"I take baby steps," he said. "I make a list, and then I try, during the day, to at least take a baby step on each item — just get something done on each thing, even if I can't finish it. This is very good for the morale. When the day's time runs out, I feel like I made progress on everything. And, if you're a morning person like me, it's best to attack the hardest things first while your mind is sharpest. Then, move on to the easier tasks when you're feeling a little tired later in the day."
Dr. Charles Stanley says that we need a healthy balance in our use of time. We need a time to work, a time to play, a time to spend with family and friends, a time to rest, and a time to contemplate and make plans. Above all, Dr. Stanley advises us to value our time; we must not waste precious moments.
Jackson Brown Jr. said: "Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Mother Teresa, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein."
Time is a gift we wake up with each morning. We can reach out and seize it with thanksgiving, or we can complain. We can use it wisely, or we can waste it; that's our choice.
So maybe with prayerful planning I can harness the next 24 hours and really "get cracking."

Setting Up a Linux Gateway
Networks are extremely common these days—you see them in businesses, schools, even homes. Networking is popular because it allows users to share resources. You can share files, printers and a myriad of other devices in a network. Now, wouldn't it be great if you could share an Internet connection? With Linux, you can.
Setting up Linux as an Internet gateway is not difficult to do. A Linux gateway allows two or more computers to use the Internet at the same time. While doing so, only the gateway's IP address will be visible on the Internet. The rest of the computers will be "hidden" behind the gateway. This is called IP masquerading.
What can you do with this setup? Well, if you have four computers connected to the gateway, you can surf the Web from any of the four computers at the same time. You can run telnet sessions, go on IRC (Internet relay chat), read newsgroups, etc.—almost anything you can do on the Internet can be done. Of course, there are certain things that may need your attention, and I will discuss them as well as setting up both Linux and Windows machines to use the gateway.
First of all, you need a working TCP/IP network. I assume your network is up and running, and all your machines are able to "see" each other.
I will discuss setting up IP masquerading using Linux kernel 2.2.x and ipchains 1.3.x. If for some reason you are running an early kernel such as 1.x.x, please refer to Chris Kostick's articles on IP masquerading in issues 27 and 43 of Linux Journal.
Also, please make sure you have a copy of the Linux IP Masquerade mini HOWTO (http://ipmasq.cjb.net/) by Ambrose Au and David Ranch. It contains much more detailed information on setting up IP masquerading, including setting up Macintosh and Windows NT clients. It also contains a useful FAQ should you run into problems. This article is based on that mini HOWTO as well as personal experience.
I also assume you are familiar with basic Linux system administration, and that you know how to recompile your kernel and modify your init scripts.
The next thing to figure out is what you want to do. How many machines are on the network? Which machine do you wish to set up as the gateway? Which machines will be the clients? What operating system is each machine running? The answers to these questions can be complex and unique, so for the purposes of this article, we will use the setup shown in Figure 1. This is a three-node network with a Linux gateway (antioch), a Linux client (nazareth) and a Windows 95 client (lystra).
Let's start by setting up the gateway, which in our case is antioch (192.168.0.1). Antioch runs Linux 2.2.x, and in order for it to become a gateway, we need to turn on certain kernel options. My gateway has the kernel options shown in Table 1 turned on.
After booting our newly compiled kernel, we will have to load a few kernel modules using either insmod or modprobe:
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_user /sbin/insmod ip_masq_raudio /sbin/insmod ip_masq_ftp /sbin/insmod ip_masq_irc
It would be wise to add these lines into one of your init scripts so they will run on every startup. There are other kernel modules related to IP masquerading; for a full list, type the command
/sbin/modprobe -l | grep ip_masqLinux 2.2 does not turn on IP forwarding by default. To find out whether IP forwarding is switched on, check the contents of the file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. If it is 0, IP forwarding is off; if 1, it is on.
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 0 # echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1Again, it is wise to add the line which turns on IP forwarding (the one with the echo command) to one of your init scripts.
Now we come to an interesting situation. How do we know who gets to use the gateway and who doesn't? This is where ipchains comes in. My current policy is to deny access to the gateway from everybody unless explicitly allowed. For example, let's say we want only our client machines nazareth and lystra to access our gateway and no one else. In order to do this, we have to issue the following commands:
ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0\ -j MASQ ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0\ -j MASQ
If, on the other hand, we want everybody on the network 192.168.0.* to use the gateway, we can issue these commands:
ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0\ -j MASQNote that we assume the netmask is 255.255.255.0. If your netmask is different, simply change the values accordingly. There are many other things you can do with ipchains; however, they are beyond the scope of this article. I trust that the two simple examples above will get you started. (See also "Building a Firewall with IP Chains" by Pedro Bueno, http://www.linuxjournal.com/lj-issue/issue68/3622.html.)
That's it! The gateway is now up and running. Remember to add the relevant lines to the startup scripts. Also remember to connect to the Internet before testing your gateway. Now let's set up the clients.
File upload problem

Good Article
This is an amazing article,well done lawrence,do post good articles
Update on this info
I know this article is several years old now. But if the author or anybody who still reads this, kindly point me to an updated site. I'm using ubuntu and would appreciate any help to set it up as an internet gateway.
Easy gateway/firewall setup for Ubuntu
It's still a good article!
I just got an Ubuntu 6.10 machine configured as a gateway! After perusing the net for a bit, I found out about the firehol package that sets up an iptables-based firewall. Here are the steps I followed to configure my machine:
- Install the firehol package. I used synaptic from the menu (Applications => System => Synaptic Package Manager). Simply search for "firehol", mark it for installation, and Apply.
- Edit the /etc/firehol/firehol.conf configuration file. See below for the configuration I used.
- Edit the /etc/default/firehol file to enable the firewall to come up at boot time and to wait until all necessary network interfaces are up first.
- Start the firewall with the firehol start command.
- Your LAN machines will need to know how to reach the Internet through your new gateway machine. You can either set up a DHCP server on your gateway, or manually configure each machine on the LAN with a static route. (Since I only have a couple of machines on my LAN, I just manually configured them.)
- Your LAN machines will also need to know how to resolve domain names to IP addresses. If you set up your gateway as a DHCP server, it will pass through the nameservers it uses to each LAN machine. Otherwise, you'll need to edit each LAN machine's /etc/resolv.conf file.
That's it!
You should test your setup with the following steps. If any one of these steps doesn't work, check your configuration files and get it working before proceeding to the next step.
- From your newly configured gateway, make sure you can ping a non-stealthed network address such as ns.google.com. Make a note of the IP address (ns.google.com was 188.8.131.52 when I wrote this).
- From your gateway, make sure you can ping all the machines on your LAN.
- Make sure that you can ping the gateway from each of the machines on your LAN.
- From each machine on your LAN, make sure you can ping the network IP address you wrote down in the first test. (DNS may not be working yet, so avoid domain names at this point.)
- From each machine on your LAN, make sure domain names get resolved correctly. You can use the host command for this. Try the domain name you used in the first step, and try pinging it too.
If all five steps worked, your should have a fully working gateway and LAN! To REALLY make sure, reboot your firewall and use the firehol status command to verify the firewall is running.
Here is the /etc/firehol/firehol.conf file I used:
- interface eth0 INET
- policy drop
- protection strong
- client all accept
- interface eth1 LAN
- policy accept
- router LAN_2_INET inface eth1 outface eth0
- masquerade
- route all accept
- policy drop
In my setup, "eth0" is the interface that connects the gateway to my ISP, and "eth1" is the interface that connects the gateway to my LAN.
Here is my /etc/default/firehol file:
#If you want to have firehol wait for an iface to be up add it here
In my /etc/network/interfaces file, the interface "eth0" occurs before "eth1", so both interfaces will be active before the firewall gets started at boot time.
This firewall configuration is very basic; it assumes all LAN machines are completely trustworthy, and that there are no services running on the gateway or LAN machines that need to be visible to the internet (such as FTP, SSH, or HTTP). That being said, however, firehol looks like it can handle most situations with ease, and is fairly well documented.
I hope this helps! Please note any corrections needed here (if any).
NOTE: Because firehol is a single bash script, it should work on just about any Gnu/Linux distribution with iptables support. (Your mileage may vary.)

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Play of the Day: The Daily Show does Israeli election ads
- By Cory Bennett
- National Journal
- January 24, 2013
- Leave a comment
Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart unearthed some terrific campaign videos from the recent Israeli elections. Apparently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has some American friends in high places.
"Israel has its own tough guy," a campaign ad starts off. "His name is Bibi Netanyahu. Shalom, this is Chuck."
Smash cut to a befuddled Stewart. "Did not see that coming. What demographic is that targeting? Arden Zionists who haven't been to the movies in 30 years?"
Over on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert gave out a "Tip of the Hat" to a school district in Ohio preparing to arm its janitors and custodians ("Unlike the administrators, they are not needed for quick decisions.") and to The Atlasphere, an online dating site for Ayn Rand enthusiasts.
Today's must-see moment is when Colbert browses through some of the enticing profiles on the site. Fast-forward to 3:54 to see the types of men and women you can meet today!

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States on Thursday night.
Romney gave a speech that included a more personal view of his life as well as focused on adding jobs, criticizing President Obama's policies, repealing Obamacare and promoting his business background.
Romney did not discuss his experience as governor of Massachusetts during the nationally-televised speech.
We want to hear from you – what did you think of the former governor's speech? What did you think of the convention? Were you swayed in either direction after watching the proceedings from Tampa? From his experience as governor of the commonwealth, are you more apt or less apt to vote for Romney?
Let us know in the comment section below.

Dalton State College sophomore Montana Gray doesn't think next school year's tuition and fees increases will drastically impact him, but he knows the costs could be a problem for some students.
"I just pay about $600 a semester after the HOPE scholarship," the Chatsworth resident said. "It doesn't really affect me that much, but as for other students, I can see where it would probably be an issue."
The Board of Regents governing Georgia colleges approved several budget items Tuesday, including a tuition schedule that will have in-state Dalton State students paying an additional $36 per semester for terms that begin after July 1.
In-state tuition will rise from $1,423 per semester to $1,459. Out-of-state tuition will rise from $5,257 to $5,388. The increase is part of an overall budget plan the board approved. Individual colleges' increases ranged from $32 and $270 per semester.
Dalton State spokeswoman Pam Partain said fees at Dalton State will increase from $443 per semester to $496. The athletics fee is rising from $50 to $83 as the college works to build its athletics program, and a newly mandated recreation fee of $20 will be added.
Dalton State senior marketing major Hilary Wallin said she was among a majority of members on the Student Advisory Council who approved the fee increases earlier this academic year. The fee increases, she said, will allow students to enjoy more on-campus events and activities.
"I voted in favor because ... I just feel like at the same time that it's also for the good of our school so we can improve Dalton State," she said, noting she paid for her schooling herself until recently. "A lot of students, they're obviously just mad because of the fee increase and I understand that. I just recently started getting financial help with financial aid and everything."
The fee increases had to be student-approved before the Board of Regents would consider them.
The regents approved the tuition increases despite receiving an additional $54.6 million in funding from the Legislature for the next school year. Chancellor Hank M. Huckaby said the University System is still struggling to keep up with soaring enrollment, higher health care premiums for employees and other costs after absorbing $1.4 billion in budget cuts in the past five years.
Partain said the state funding allocation for Dalton State is about $14 million, and the rest of the budget will be covered by student fees and tuition.
"We don't have our total budget figured yet," Partain said.
The Board of Regents also approved a capital budget that includes $4.6 million to renovate the campus technical building and for other academic purposes as well as $2.1 million to furnish and equipment a science building under construction. Those items are awaiting the governor's signature before they are official.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Junior Class College Night Case Studies:
Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Case 4
The college admission process is an integral part of the total experience of a Saint Andrew's education. The College Guidance Office (CGO) at Saint Andrew's School recognizes the vast diversity in students and families and therefore provides individual guidance in college selection. The college counseling program is firmly grounded in the belief that discovering good matches between students and post-secondary institutions is what the college admissions process is all about. This process is an exciting one, filled with opportunities for self-discovery, but it can also be a time of some anxiety for students and parents. In the Fall of their 11th-grade year, students are linked with our team of college counselors, who assist them with every facet of the college admissions process.
Our portion of the Saint Andrew's School Web site is designed to complement this personal relationship and provide resources for students and parents who want to learn more about our office and the events we sponsor. Our Web site also offers access to a wealth of information on the World Wide Web concerning financial aid, testing, areas of academic interest and the websites of colleges and universities via our links. The College Guidance Office makes extensive use of the Naviance , the leading provider of planning and advising systems for secondary schools in the world. Our hope is that you make extensive use of the personal service our counselors provide as well as the other resources that are available to you through the CGO.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about college counseling at Saint Andrew's. We look forward to working with you and welcome your questions and concerns.

After sustaining severe damage that compromised its support system during the historic floods of March 2010, the Laurel Ave. Bridge that passes over the Pawtuxet River in Coventry had been dismantled with plans to rebuild during that same year. Its closure forced residents and emergency apparatus to take a detour through town in order to pass to and from the Anthony, Pilgrim and Oak Haven areas.
The RI Dept. of Transportation (RIDOT) awarded the $2.9 million design and construction contract to Warwick-based Cardi Corporation late last year and construction began the following spring with an estimated completion date of December 2012. This was the first design-build bridge contract for RIDOT, using a team approach with a design engineering firm and a construction company working closely together to design and replace the structure in as short a time frame as possible.
The new bridge is 84 feet long, and four feet wider than its predecessor. It includes sidewalks on both sides, affording great views of the river and adjacent mill buildings.
Nearly three years since its closure, residents of Coventry will finally be able to cross the bridge again once it is officially opened to the public at 2 .m. on Thursday, Nov. 8.
"The bridge construction ended up being completed a bit ahead of schedule," said RIDOT spokesman Charles St. Martin on Wednesday.
Steven Morin, Cardi Corp. Project Superintendent contacted Coventry Patch on Thursday morning with the good news.
"We have barriers across both sides of the bridge right now, so we just need to remove those this afternoon and then it will be good to go," he said.
Morin also explained that there will likely be an official ribbon-cutting ceremony in the near future involving Town officials, RIDOT representatives, Sen. Jack Reed and members of the Nathanael Greene Homestead Association.
The bridge will now officially be known as the General Nathanael Greene Memorial Bridge, named after the American Revolutionary War general whose , has been operated as a museum since 1924 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

We review a lot of TVs here at CNET, but the list below represents only the best.
If you can stand its speakers, Sony's XBR-X900B will reward you with the best combination of audio and video quality you've ever seen (or heard).
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
Pricing not available
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Pricing not available
With picture quality that outdoes that of numerous more-expensive TVs, Vizio's E series likely represents the best value of 2014.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.
The $150 Slingbox M1 brings TV streaming to nearly any mobile device, PC, or Mac, now with the convenience of built-in Wi-Fi.
A limited-time promotion sees Sony giving away hundreds of dollars worth of movies, music, and apps for the Xperia Z1, Z1S, and Z2.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
The FMP-X10 is Sony's second-generation 4K media player, equipped with a 1TB hard drive, access to hundreds of 4K movies, and Netflix's 4K streaming service. It will debut in July for $699, although customers who pre-order can save $200.
Vizio introduced its first-ever pedestal-style sound bar at CES 2014, looking to compete with similar models from Bose and Zvox.
