Is the weather such in your region that you can start pulling out the suede sneakers again? If so, this New Balance 1300 wants to have a word with you. The sneakers, Made in USA mind you, feature a couple different shades of suede across the upper, along with a little bit of grey and blue flavor that has them looking just a bit like a spiritual successor to the "Steel Blue" 1300 of old. Stay with us after the break for a more detailed look at the pair in question and then pick up these New Balances yourself from the team at Packer Shoes.

Thanks to The Bully Project for sponsoring my writing. Visit their website to join the movement and learn more.
This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied, making it the most common form of violence young people in the U.S. experience. Bully, a film directed by Lee Hirsch is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary—at its heart are those with the most at stake and whose stories each represent a different facet of this bullying crisis.
It's rare that talk about causes that are dear to me but with this film, it highlights something that really hits home.
Because I was bullied.
In 4th grade, I was your typical, nerdy overachiever…I was the teacher's pet, getting good grades, and being chatty in class. I had a group of close friends and we did everything together from causing mischief to chasing boys. One day, one of my friends decided that I was no longer worthy. I was too smart, too loud…too…everything?
It started with copying my homework. Then, I wasn't allowed to get higher marks than her on assignments. Within one semester, I became sullen and silent and I started wearing long sleeves, sweaters, and tights all the time even though it was blistering hot outside. My glasses were often twisted, stepped on, smashed, and broken. I was hiding Indian burns and bruises from her kicks and punches when I didn't do what she said.
My teacher noticed the drastic change in my behavior and on several occasions tried to get me to confess what was going on, but I refused for fear of retaliation. Unless I said something, nothing could be done to change my situation.
One day, I couldn't take it anymore. I was hurting, my glasses were missing, my homework was torn apart, and I broke down…right in the middle of class. The teacher came over and through fits of sobbing, I whispered that my glasses were taken by the bully. The teacher swiftly demanded the location of my glasses and the girl plucked my glasses from her locker saying that she was only playing a joke. After class, my parents and the girl's parents were called to the principal's office. I don't remember the exact details but the girl never returned to school after that day.
Though I never saw her again, it made me distrustful of everyone. I was always on alert…afraid of something approaching me from behind and afraid of being betrayed. It took a long time to learn to trust and build lasting friendships. It took me even longer to forgive but eventually I did. So when I hear of people being teased or bullied, I step in because I don't want anyone to go through what I did.

Seahorse Condiment Server 1 1
Worth Every Cent I've been looking for a condiment server like this for years. The others that I've seen were quite small. In fact, I hesitated ordering this because I wasn't sure of the size, however, it is perfect! It is substantial and the detailing of this piece is beautiful. The quality is superior to all the others I've seen, but everything I've ever ordered from Frontgate has been of the highest quality. My formal dishes are pewter and even though this is not pewter, but rather, stainless steel, it's really going to add to our existing place settings. It has a beautiful finish and will definitely go well with what we already have. July 3, 2014

The Sounds
Your Rating:
Average Rating:
Hometown: Helsingborg (Sweden)
They've blasted past the decade mark, released three acclaimed albums, and indisputably owned more than a thousand shows in over 25 countries. By now, people know: When it comes to sassy, confident, feel–good rock 'n' roll Sweden's The Sounds are the gold standard. Even as they've evolved markedly since their 2002 breakthrough debut, Living In America, the Malmö–based quintet has remained true to their New Wave soul, delivering that perfect mix of sass and smarts, old and new, electric and electronic every time. Even through label shakeups and grueling tour schedules, The Sounds have been remarkably reliable, but when it came time to make their fourth album, Something To Die For, they realized it was time for a major change.
"We've grown so much together and we know exactly what we want," says Felix Rodriguez, the group's resident rock star, guitarist, and one of the main songwriters. "So why hire other people– This is the first time we've produced an album ourselves and it was an amazing experience. We are the ones that know each other best." While The Sounds' last two albums – Dying To Say This To You (2006) and Crossing The Rubicon (2009) – were recorded Stateside with a handful of talented producers on board (including Jeff Saltzman, Mark Saunders, James Iha, and Adam Schlesinger), Something To Die For is one hundred percent The Sounds. Not only did the band produce the album themselves, but they wrote and recorded it in their very own studio over much of 2010.
"It took discipline," says Maja Ivarsson, the towheaded vocal vamp of the band, "but the sound we got was exactly what we'd been looking for, and never found, at other studios. Something kinda harsh and a little cold – it's hard to put into words, but here we were, in our own place, listening back to what we'd recorded, and we're like, 'This is it!'" From opener "It's So Easy," the difference is palpable. With four on the floor, the band bangs out a pulsing track that goes from ominous to blindingly bright as it approaches the transcendent "Dance With The Devil." Here, Maja promises to "conquer our planet with dance," and with anthemic, electro–fueled tracks like "Better Off Dead" and "Yeah Yeah Yeah," The Sounds may do just that.
"We've been interested in electronic music from the beginning," says Jesper Anderberg, keyboardist, guitarist and other main writer. "That's actually why a lot of us started playing music, and we wanted to emphasize that a bit more this time." When most of the group came together in 1998 as high school students in Helsingborg, they were "club kids" says Felix. Rounded out by bassist Johan Bengtsson and drummer Fredrik Blond, The Sounds have always displayed a healthy respect for bombastic synths and propulsive beats, but on Something To Die For, the feeling is bigger, broader and bolder. Of course, the same could be said about the band's rocking side.
Songs like "Diana" show off The Sounds' undeniable penchant for playful post–punk, while "The No No Song" is pure rock–pop rave–up, with Maja spitting vitriol through a vicious sneer: "It didn't matter to you when it felt so right /And now you lost it all, well you're not so bright." All of it comes together perfectly on the titular song and album centerpiece, "Something To Die For" where, over the course of five and a half minutes, Jarre–like atmosphere dissolves into a speaker–crushing thump that climaxes in a winning collision of red hot guitars and icy keyboards. "It's all about passion and dedication," says Maja. "That's what the title means –– it's something to be proud of, something to stand up for … something to die for."
After all of this fabulous bluster, Something To Die For comes to a surprisingly quiet close with "Wish You Were Here." Over a rolling, folksy acoustic guitar, Maja coos, "Give me your hand and we'll go somewhere." The truth is, The Sounds had us in their palms from the very first note.

A two-month closure of Olive Avenue between Cotton Lane and Sarival Avenue starts Monday morning, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The construction is par of an ongoing project to improve Loop 303 into a six-lane freeway in the West Valley.
Olive Avenue will be closed until late January but drivers are able to use Peoria or Northern Avenues as alternate routes. Access to businesses in the area will continue.
The $65 million project hopes to modernize Loop 303 between Glendale and Peoria Avenues. ADOT aims to expand Loop 303 to six lanes between Interstate 10 and Grand Avenue by fall 2014.

Olympics on TV, Friday: Opening ceremony in Sochi
By Scott D. Pierce
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Feb 06 2014 08:29PM
Just like every other bit of primetime Olympic coverage during the Sochi Games, NBC's telecast of the opening ceremony is tape-delayed. Which it has to be, given that there's a nine- to 12-hour time difference between Sochi and the continental U.S.
However, while NBC will live stream all the athletic events from Sochi on NBCOlympics.com, there will be no live streaming of the opening ceremony. If you want to see it, you've got to watch (or record) the NBC coverage.
NBC PRIMETIME • 6:30-10:30 p.m., Ch. 5: Opening ceremony will feature the Parade of Nations, a production based around a trip through Russian history and the lighting of the Olympic torch.
NBC LATE NIGHT • 12:05 a.m.-4 a.m., Ch. 5: Repeat of primetime
NBCSN • 1 a.m.-3:30 a.m. (early Saturday): women's hockey, USA vs. Finland (live)
• 3:30 a.m.-7:30 a.m. (early Saturday): Women's cross-country skiing/skiathlon final; men's speed skating/5000m final (both live)

No news is great newsFriday, July 31st, 2009
The Mets have done absolutely nothing at the trade deadline, and I couldn't be more thrilled. There were rumors about the team acquiring Scott Kazmir, or Adam LaRoche, or Matt Murton, but in the end, the Mets did not acquire anybody. While I would have liked to have seen them sell off some of their spare parts, ultimately they probably would not have gotten back much value for what they had available (Hoops, Sheffield, and Feliciano heading the list) so in the end, nothing was better than anything in this case.
I just don't think this team can climb back in the race, even if they get 80% Carlos Beltran or 85% Jose Reyes in the upcoming weeks. They are too far out, behind too many teams. They can probably finish with a respectable win total with a few healthy months of Beltran, Reyes, Delgado, Sheffield, Putz, and Wagner, but we're realistically looking at a ceiling of about 83-84 wins at most. There is just going to be too many games lost to starting players such as Daniel Murphy, Alex Cora, Jeremy Reed, Angel Pagan, Livan Hernandez, and Omir Santos. Making a token acquisition, even for a good player like a Victor Martinez or Roy Halladay, would not noticeably improve the Mets' playoff chances for 2009, and would require a price in prospects that would be too great for such a small improvement.
The other benefit to not making a trade means that Omar Minaya did nothing to save his job. Whether it's because the Wilpons would not sign off on anything or because he couldn't put anything together, at least Omar didn't make a panic trade to save his job. While there would have been a certain symmetry in Minaya acquiring Scott Kazmir from the Rays as a panic trade to save his job, it probably would not have been a good idea for the Mets. While it does confirm that the Mets season is over, maybe that's not such a bad thing. Hope, in this case, would not have been a good thing.
The beginning of the end of the Minaya regimeTuesday, July 28th, 2009
If you have been reading this site during the various struggles of this 2009 Mets team, you've probably come to the very reasonable conclusion that I am not a fan of how Omar Minaya and his plan for this Mets team. Obviously, nobody could have predicted that so many Mets would get hurt all at the same time, particularly guys like Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran, who have been relatively injury-free for much of their careers. But the lack of any viable Plan B in case any of these guys got hurt (particularly John Maine, who missed most of the last two months of 2008 and Carlos Delgado, who has been plagued with hip problems dating back a year) is pretty damning. Heck, in the case of Daniel Murphy, their Plan A left a lot to be desired.
What the fucking fuck?Monday, July 27th, 2009
Did our GM really just accuse a beat writer of trying to get Tony Bernazard fired because he wanted to get a job in player development for the Mets? Did that really just happen? I don't even know if I have an adequate response for this. My mind is blown. The Mets can't even fire a guy who, by all accounts, was a terrible dude, without causing a stink. Go read some more on this here, here, here, and here. This is crazy.
(Sorry for cursing in the headline, it is the only adequate reaction that can be derived from this. Thanks to the great Mary Steenburgen for the quote, from the movie Step Brothers).
Daniel Murphy means lossesThursday, July 23rd, 2009
Before the season, I started writing a draft of something called "Are Mets fans setting expectations too high for Daniel Murphy?" I never finished it, mostly because I didn't see the need to be overly negative before the season started; after all, spring training is a time for optimism, there's plenty of time for negativity during the regular season. But the jist of my point was that Murphy was probably a little bit lucky in 2008, that he probably wasn't as good as he played in August and September, and would probably see a little regression, and that Mets fans who saw him as the team's next David Wright should probably lower their expectations.
The Mets and the model teamWednesday, July 22nd, 2009
After another demoralizing Mets loss last night, I was reading Google Reader for some Mets game recaps before calling it a night, when something caught my eye. A writer in the Boston market (well, Providence, but close enough) thinks that Theo Epstein has been overrated, thanks to a high payroll. After quickly checking to make sure the Red Sox were still in first (actually, they had just fallen into second, but lead the wild card by 3.5 games over the Rays and Rangers), I wondered what legnths journalists go to these days in order to create a story.
Grading the pitchers' first halfTuesday, July 14th, 2009
Yesterday I did the hitters, today I'm tackling the pitchers. Yes, this remains incredibly hacky. I'm going to be taking a closer look at players, meaning I'm not using ERA alone (or really, at all) to look at how well they've performed; I'm going to look at their rate numbers (K/9, BB/9, etc) as well as some advanced statistics like FIP (again, if you aren't hip to FIP, go to Amazin Avenue, where Sam Page, I have to say this again, wrote the best thing written on any Mets blog in 2009) to figure out who has made the grade and who hasn't.
Grading the hitters' first halfMonday, July 13th, 2009
Yes, I am doing the hackiest of hack ideas, the first half "grades" for each and every player. It will give me a chance to sort through the damage, and figure out exactly how we got to this point and if there is anything we can do about it (the answer: probably not, no). I will start with the hitters today and tackle the pitchers tomorrow. In order from A to F…

And of course, the dumbest guy on MetsBlog (and that's saying something) loves the trade. This is an awful, awful trade for the Mets. A disaster on every level. Ryan Church has been outperforming Jeff Francouer on every possible level this year. His slash stats (.280/.332/.375/.707) destroy Frenchy's (.250/.282/.352/.634), meaning the Mets have added another corner outfielder who isn't OPSing north of .700. Church had been the only 2009 Met with a positive UZR ranking (a defensive stat that includes range, arm and other factors) at 1.8; Francouer checks in at 0.6. Francouer's wOBA checks in at .282, his WAR at -0.6; Church's wOBA was .310 and WAR was 0.4, making him a full win better than Francouer (for a more detailed explanation on the stats I'm mentioning that you may not understand, go here for an explanation, this is something all Mets fans should read). Church was the best defensive option in CF until Beltran returns, if he returns; now, the team will have to start Angel Pagan in CF and hope he stays healthy.
The only thing you can say for this trade is that the Mets got younger, but Francouer was a better player four years ago than he is now; he has been trending downwardly severely since 2006. He doesn't draw walks, he doesn't hit for power, he doesn't add anything defensively…this is exactly the type of player the Mets should not be looking to add, especially at the expense of a player who is a real asset to this team. I can't understand why the Mets would think picking Francouer up would be a good move. I am now firmly on the "Minaya needs to go" bandwagon after this one, this is an inexusably horrendous trade. This trade is, simply put, to quote Mr. Mike Francesa, an uttah disastah.
Vote Pablo Sandoval for the All Star GameWednesday, July 8th, 2009
Okay, so this is pretty much a lost season for the Mets. I can accept this. Their stars are hurt, they have no timetable for a return, the replacements are sub-replacement player across the board, and the other players expected to make contributions for the Mets…they suck. Fine. Not happy about it, but…you know, it is what it is.
But one thing I can't stand the thought of is Shane Victorino playing in an All Star game. First of all, he's not that good. Literally every other player on the ballot is better than he is. Secondly, Shane Victorino is an asshole. There's his obnoxious feud with Jose Reyes, his grandstanding and showboating during games (and he gives Reyes crap for this? Really?) and there's the game where he ran straight into Reyes in order to draw an interference call. Basically, Shane Victorino to me is the worst of all Phillies.
And now? There's this open campaign he's running to get voted into the All Star game. Read about it here, here, and here. Or, better yet, don't. Like I said, he's an asshole, and people who like Shane Victorino are also assholes (i.e. they are Phillies fans). Right now, Victorino is in second place behind Kung Fu Panda, Pablo Sandoval. But the Phillies internet community is trying to drum up support to get him voted in, and with all of the other indignities Mets fans have suffered so far, and others perhaps to come (such as the Phillies acquiring Pedro Martinez or Roy Halladay), I simply cannot allow this to happen.
I should point out that I don't even think Sandoval is the most deserving player on there. Matt Kemp (who is strangely batting 8th for the Dodgers despite being probably their best or second best hitter this season) and Mark Reynolds are probably more deserving representatives. I don't care. Sandoval is in the lead, and I don't have time to drum up support to push Victorino into third…we just need to keep him out of the game, and if that means throwing support behind a less deserving candidate than others, so be it. Sandoval still belongs over Victorino anyway. Plus, Sandoval is not an asshole.
So VOTE FOR PABLO! Go to MLB.com and voted repeatedly for Pablo Sandoval and…I don't know, some AL guy. I'm voting for Brandon Inge, personally, because I like Inge a lot. But we can stop Victorino before it's too late. I could handle this if it were Jayson Werth on the ballot, he's had a really terrific year and belongs in the All Star game…but Shane Victorino sucks, and like I said, he's an asshole. Let's try to make this year's All Star Game as asshole-free as possible.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (830 votes).
In short: my first 10 miler, really enjoyed it despite painful leg from mile 8Date of review: October 26, 2009
Date of review: October 26, 2009
In short: Another terrific Great South, In full: Great atmpsphere, good organisation for a large race (20,000 runners), lovely sunny day though a bit breezy along the esplanade. It was telvised live on channel 5 - looking forward to watching the recording. Highly recommended.Date of review: October 25, 2009
In full: this was my first long race, throughly enjoyed it, atomsphere very goodDate of review: October 25, 2009
In short: Good atmosphere - Starting waves were a joke and race too big!In full: Brilliant weather this year and great scenery and crowds. I was in the green wave and thought this was wrong - spent the whole race weaving in and out and overtaking walkers!! Getting a decent time was out of the question! Excellent for Help the Heroes to pull a land rover but didn't think they should have been in the middle of the wave blocking the course and shouting at everyone to get out the way - there were lots of other important charities being represented and lots of people running in memory of others. Just read that it's £36 next year - prob won't be doing it if is because there are lots of other good races in the area and ones that only have runners and you don't have the issue of overtaking walkers. If you like smaller races then steer clear of this one - brilliant for charity running.Date of review: October 25, 2009
In short: More wind in more places but at least the sun came outIn full: Was it just me or was it more windy throughout town this year than usual?I love this race! It's super, super fast. Very well supported by the excellent Portsmouth crowds and has plenty of music etc along the way to keep you motivated! Loved the VERY LOUD speaker system blasting out during the (always) windy last 2 miles!Nice to see that the organisers put the celebs BEHIND the Orange wave a for the first time meaning that the quicker runners could get into their stride from the off.Parking is fine on the common if you are going to finish sub 70 mins - if not park out of town a little.Date of review: October 25, 2009
In short: OK race, but nothing specialIn full: First time at this race, and the organisation was as good as expected. The route was fine with very minimal inclines, but sadly the last couple of miles full into the wind put paid to any chance of a PB. On a calm day it would definitely have been on. After the race we sampling the Bupa hospitality then wandered along to the aquarium and pottered around there for some time on the assumption that by the time we came out the car parks would be reasonably clear. WRONG! They were chaos, and it took substantially longer to get out of there than it did to actually run the race. But I'm not blaming the organisers for this - they're constrained by the fact there aren't many exits and the fact that there were still roads closed. No, the chaos was caused by selfish inconsiderate drivers who rather than queuing with everybody else insisted on creating their own lines and queues and taking any shortcut they could find that might save them one car length. It completely ruins any traffic plans that the organisers may have had, and creates even more frustration for the other drivers.Anyway, I can now say I've done the Great South Run, and next year I'll go back to the Cabbage Patch 10 which is all around a much better event.Date of review: October 25, 2009
In short: Good race but just too expensive - and even more next year!In full: I travelled by train which went very smoothly. I was in Orange wave A which gave me a fairly clear run. This is my 4th GSR but I'm not sure if I will do next year. £36 is a lot for what you get.Date of review: October 25, 2009
In short: Windy but exceptionally upliftingIn full: This was my first official 10 mile race and I loved it all. Even if my time needs certainly some improvements, I enjoyed the whole thing. I didn't know that we were going by the HMS Victory, a real surprise! And with Spinnaker tower and the wonderful Southsea beach, well... it was more of a sightseeing day. And the music along the way... and the people so warmly cheering us up! Really, just fantastic, it kept me going and will definitely do it again. But next year I'll catch a train: the real challenge of this race is not the running bit, it is getting out of the car park!!!Date of review: October 25, 2009

Another competitor for expensive telephone service
As a user of alternative telephone services for several years, I have been very satisfied with their performance. All of them use some variety of VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, to send voice-grade telephone conversations over the Internet, terminating at the recipient's local phone service (landline or cellular), which ultimately connects the call to his or her local phone. Over the years I have used the voice features of Yahoo! Messenger, Google Phone, MagicJack and netTALK, and found the best to use were Google Phone and netTALK. I use Google Phone as an adjunct to my cell phone and to make long distance calls from work without incurring significant long distance phone charges. From home, for almost two years, I have been using a netTALK DUO (the DUO signifies that it works either by a direct connection to a router or to a live USB port), and have been very satisfied with its cost, functionality, clear call quality, and most of all, its U.S.-based live technical support.
Almost two years ago I wrote about the then new netTALK DUO, which eclipsed its main competitor, MagicJack, because it could work without a computer (connected directly to a network port on a router) and was fax compatible. While both MagicJack and netTALK DUO offered unlimited local and long distance calling for a low annual flat rate (about $25 to $30 per year), I switched from MagicJack to the netTALK DUO because the MagicJack model available at that time required an active USB connection in order to send and receive calls, and since I shut down my computer when it is not being used for a period of time, I lost my telephone connection for much of the day. Since the netTALK DUO connected directly to my router, it was always on even when my computer was shut down, giving it a distinct advantage over the MagicJack. Just to be fair, sometime after I switched to the netTALK DUO, MagicJack came out with a new model that offers similar connectivity (USB or router) as the DUO.
In the time that I have been using the netTALK DUO, it has almost always functioned flawlessly, allowing me to conserve cell phone minutes by using the DUO from home during prime minutes, and also using my DUO connection to send and receive faxes, both local and long distance. It would be totally practical and feasible to "Fire your phone company," a slogan used by netTALK, and use the device as a sole or primary home phone service without a hard-wired connection to the local phone company, enabling substantial savings. I pay my local phone company more for a month's local phone service than I pay netTALK for a year of unlimited local and long distance phone service! Once set up, my wired and cordless home phones connect to my netTALK DUO device as easily as plugging them into a wall jack. The only time that I lost phone connectivity with my DUO over the past two years was when an automatic "push" software upgrade to my DUO failed, causing it to lose its connection. I contacted netTALK's technical support, and they remotely upgraded my device, restoring service. I sent an e-mail to the executives of netTALK complimenting the technicians who did such a professional job.
In recent weeks, I saw announcements that netTALK had introduced a new device, the netTALK DUO WiFi that allows the device to connect just like the DUO, by live USB port or direct router connection, plus provides for an alternative, fully functional connection via the common WiFi wireless connections that are so widely available. Eager to try this new technology, I ordered one and now have it to play with. Retailing for $64.95, the new netTALK DUO WiFi includes 12 months of unlimited local and long distance phone service (including the U.S. and Canada). Additional years of service can be purchased for $29.95.
In the box is the device, smaller than an average size cell phone, with a phone jack and network connection on one end, and a combination USB/power connection (standard USB cable with micro USB plug on one end) and a reset button on the other end. On the top edge is a multi-color LED that indicates the status of the device. Also in the box is an Ethernet cable, USB to micro USB cable, AC adapter, easy setup guide, and support information.
There are six steps listed on the "Easy Setup Guide" (seven steps if using the online guide to configure the WiFi feature), and I am performing those steps as I type this. Step one is to locate the user name and password that is on a peel-off sticker inside the box. Step 2 is to activate the DUO WiFi by connecting to the netTALK Web site. During the simple registration process, an E911 service address is created, which enables proper connection and identification to the local 911 service. Following the 911 process, the user can select a local phone number or arrange to transfer an existing phone number to the netTALK device; I decided to select a new phone number in my area code. One issue common with both MagicJack and netTALK is a dearth of local phone numbers in my 409 area code, only having local numbers for the Galveston and Texas City areas, almost 100 miles west of my location, but I selected a Texas City local phone number; it took a few minutes for the network to create my new phone number.Step 3 was to connect my telephone to the netTALK DUO WiFi; I have a multi-handset cordless phone, which I connected to the phone jack on the device. Step 4 is to connect the device to either a live USB port, router port, or WiFi. I already have my original DUO connected to my router, so I decided to connect this one to my existing wireless network. The instructions to connect to WiFi direct the user to www.nettalk.com/wifiguide, which repeats initial steps already completed (which can be skipped), and the steps to configure it for WiFi; the six steps in the Easy Setup Guide for USB or router connections are simple and fast, and none of the WiFi specific steps (below) are necessary. It needs to be noted that for those who may travel with the DUO WiFi, it can store information on up to 12 WiFi networks, allowing instant connection to each as necessary. The Web site (Step 4), required the downloading and installation of a "DUO WiFi Management Tool" (both Windows and MAC versions available), a 1.8 mb file that installed the proper drivers on the computer and then rebooted the computer; this tool enables the user to configure the DUO WiFi for a wireless network.
Step 5 is where the device is connected to the computer via USB, and to the telephone. If all goes well, the LED on the device will flash orange while connecting and then green when completed, followed by a single ring of the phone. Step 6 is selecting a WiFi network using the DUO WiFi Management Tool. The management tool attempted to detect and configure the DUO WiFi automatically, but since I have a hidden SSID and sophisticated encryption on my wireless-N router, the management tool required me to connect manually and enter my SSID, encryption mode and key, and other information, which quickly enabled the wireless connection between the DUO WiFi and my wireless-N router. For public-access WiFi, the DUO WiFi Management Tool will automatically configure the device.
The seventh and final step is "Get Ready to Make Calls Over Wi-Fi." Instructions are to disconnect the DUO WiFi device from the computer (and phone, if using a different phone), connecting the USB cable to the AC power adapter that is supplied, and the device will connect via WiFi, indicating success (after a minute or two) with a green LED on the device, and a single ring of the phone.
Regardless of the mode of connection, USB, router or WiFi, the netTALK DUO WiFi is very feature rich including the unlimited local and long distance calls to the U.S. and Canada (first year included then $30/year), free DUO to DUO calls anywhere in the world, inexpensive flat rate or per minute calling to other countries ($5.85 extra per month for unlimited calls to Puerto Rico and Mexico, $10 per month extra for unlimited calls to the 60 countries listed at www.nettalk.com/callplansinternational), free 411 directory assistance, enhanced 911 service, fax compatible, Videophone application, call waiting, caller ID, three-way calling, call forwarding, and conference calling.
Since the new netTALK DUO WiFi can easily provide phone service almost anywhere there is some type of Internet connection, is totally portable, so reasonably priced, and so feature rich, it could be an excellent alternative to more traditional phone service. With this netTALK device, as its commercials say, you really can "Fire your phone company!" and save substantial money.

Multiple phones with single netTALK DUO?
Thank you for the excellent article! It was very helpful.
I am confused about one statement.
You state that, "Once set up, my wired and cordless home phones connect to my netTALK DUO device as easily as plugging them into a wall jack."
This statement makes it sound as though multiple phones can be connected to the device at the same time through the wall jack. It was my impression that, unless you use a splitter plugged directly into the device, that only one phone can be connected to the device at a time.
Can you please clarify this? If it is true that you can connect multiple phones and use wall jacks, can you please give details about how that works?
Thank you!
Yes, it can be done!!!!
Hi - here is what I did:
at the junction box outside of the house, disconnect the wires connecting the inside wiring to the junction box. This could be unplugging a jacck, or physically disconnecting wires. Point is, the house telephone wiring is physically disconnected from the public telephone system.
OK - now that the hardest part is done.....
connect the NetTALK Duo TELEPHONE cable into a dual splitter. The dual splitter probably WILL NOT connect into the NetTALK Duo - not enough room. But by plugging the telephone cable into the dual splitter, then you can insert the splitter into a wall telephone jack, and also insert a telephone cord to a desired phone! AND...you should have a dial tone on that telephone, and on all other telephone jacks.
"How many telephones can I use now?" That depends, mainly on the telephones!
without going into details as to "why".... get a sheet of paper and pen/pencil, and write down the number "2.5". This is your top "safe number" If we go over that - higher - stand to shut things down, until something is removed to bring it down to that level...
Each telephone / answering machine etc. should have a number listed on the back, - "REN" or "Ringer Equivalancy Number". I would expect probably most of your phones might be "1.0" or "0.4", for example. Add up the numbers..when/if you get higher than 2.5 - remove a phone from the group. WHATEVER IS LEFT - whether 2 phones, or 6 phones...should be safe, as long as the REN stays under 2.5 for the total.
ONCE EVERYTHING IS SET UP - check and see how YOUR system operates!
My observations:
1. All phones do NOT sound great, either to you, or to the other person listening to you speak.
2. When there is an incoming call, first one phone rings, then another; I think it is based on the closeness to the NetTALK Duo. Each phone rings a "normal" ring. [I currently have two phones about 10 feet apart, so it sounds as if the phones are playing ping-pong with their rings].
3. Think CAREFULLY about things like voice mail, etc. Do you want NetTALK to use it's voice mail [website]? or the telephone's built-in answering machine... and WHICH telephone? I THINK that probably, the first telephone for a message would be the closest to the NetTALK Duo...[provided it has a built-in answering machine...] - but I am afraid I can't help you here - the answering machine on mine isn't picking up, and I haven't cared to check into that yet.
I hope this information helps....

Throat swab culture
A throat swab culture is a laboratory test done to isolate and identify organisms that may cause infection in the throat.
Alternative Names
Throat culture and sensitivity; Culture - throat
How the test is performed
You will be asked to tilt your head back and open your mouth wide. The health care provider rubs a sterile cotton swab along the back of your throat near the tonsils. You need to resist gagging and closing the mouth while the swab touches this area.
The health care provider may need to scrape the back of the throat with the swab several times. This helps improve the chances of detecting bacteria.
How to prepare for the test
Do not use antiseptic mouthwashes before the test.
How the test will feel
Your throat may be sore at the time the test is taken. You may experience a gagging sensation when the back of your throat is touched with the swab, but the test only lasts a few seconds.
Why the test is performed
The test is performed when a throat infection is suspected, particularly strep throat. A throat culture can also help your doctor determine which antibiotics will work best for you.
Normal Values
The presence of the usual mouth and throat bacteria is a normal finding.
What abnormal results mean
An abnormal result means bacteria or other organism is present. This is usually a sign of infection.
What the risks are
This test is safe and well-tolerated. In very few patients, the sensation of gagging may lead to an urge to vomit or cough.

Despite Santa Cruz County's ocean breezes and mountain air, the itchy eyes, sneezing and stuffy noses caused by seasonal allergies are commonplace between January and July along the coast and among the redwoods of the San Lorenzo Valley.
One might suppose the nearby ocean would keep the air fresh and allergen free. But wind patterns in Santa Cruz County blow pollen from trees and grass willy-nilly into almost every nook and cranny.
Dr. James Wolfe, an associate with Allergy and Asthma Associates of Northern California, said that, like clockwork, allergies strike in the spring and summer.
"Every year January through May when it's not raining, trees pollinate heavily in Santa Cruz County," Wolfe said.
Wolfe said most people think the bright yellow flowering acacia trees are the root of the problem. However, other trees, many without flowers, cause stronger allergic reactions.
From January to March, juniper and cedar trees release their pollen into the air. In April, oak trees pollinate heavily, and in May, olive trees release their nearly microscopic pollen, Wolfe said.
Other trees, such as birch, alder, ash and mulberry, can create problems for some people, too.
Then in May, June and July, Wolfe said, wild grasses found throughout the county release more pollen, causing three more months of anguish for many.
"People who are not affected think allergies — runny noses, and itchy eyes — are not a big deal," Wolfe said. "Little do they know that when you walk around all day with these things, you are exhausted. It lowers the quality of life."
Dr. Steve Magee, a family practitioner at Boulder Creek Family Practice said that along with the typical allergens, he sees people allergic to redwood trees which are common in the San Lorenzo Valley.
"Most of the time, the treatment is the same (as other seasonal allergies)," Magee said.
Hay fever is the common term used to describe allergies that cause such symptoms.
According to statistics gathered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 16.9 million Americans, including 6.7 million children, were told by doctors that they were afflicted with hay fever in the past 12 months. Hay fever is caused by indoor or outdoor pollens, pet dander or dust mites.
"We have patients knocking down our door right now trying to put an end to misery they have experienced year after year," Wolfe said.
Magee also said that springtime is prime allergy season as he sees patients suffering from allergies almost daily.
But Wolfe said treating allergies is easier than it once was, as over-the-counter medication is improving.
Loratidine, sold under the brand name Claritin, and Fexofenadine, sold as Allegra, are both sold at drugstores without a prescription. Wolfe said they relieve hay fever symptoms without making people tired the way older medications did.
If those options don't work, Wolfe recommends intranasal steroids. Then, if symptoms persist, people can have their skin tested to determine exactly what they are allergic to and receive shots to battle the allergies.
"There are definitely some effective treatments available," Magee said.

|1/2 cup
|1 tsp
|Maple Flavoring
|1/2 tsp

|1/4 cup
Preheat Oven to 350º F
Prepare FILLING of your choice. See directions below.
Traditional Method
In large mixer bowl, combine 2+1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt; mix well. In saucepan, heat milk, water, and butter until very warm (120º-130ºF; butter does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture. Add 2 eggs. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Punch down dough. Divide into 2 parts. On lightly floured surface, roll each half to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread with filling. Starting with longer side, roll up tightly. Pinch edges to seal. Form ring, pinch ends to seal. Place each ring seam side down on greased cookie sheet. With scissors, make cuts 1 inch apart through top of ring to 1 inch from center. Turn each slice on its side. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching. Combine egg and 1 TBSP water; gently brush tea ring. Sprinkle with pearl sugar. TIP: Pearl sugar can be found in the gourmet section of most supermarkets. Bake at 350ºF for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets; cool.
Cranberry Date Filling (1 Tea Ring)
In medium saucepan, boil sugar, corn syrup and water 5 minutes. Add cranberries. Cover and cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chopped dates; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in nuts and lemon juice. Cool completely. TIP: If using frozen cranberries, increase cooking time.
Cinnamon Pecan (1 Tea Ring)
In small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts; mix well. Spread rectangle with butter. Sprinkle with filling.
Poppy Seed Filling (1 Tea Ring)
In small saucepan, combine poppy seeds and milk. Bring to a boil. Simmer about 5 minutes until milk is absorbed; stirring constantly. Add sugar; cook 5 minutes longer. Beat egg slightly. Stir a little of the hot mixture into the egg; add the poppy seed. Cook until thickened. Do not boil. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts and almond flavoring; cool completely.
Date Orange Filling (1 Tea Ring)
In small saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer about 3 minutes, until thickened; cool completely. If filling is too thick to spread, add orange juice to thin.
Maple Nut Filling (2 Tea Rings)
In small bowl, combine brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon. Brush maple syrup over each half of dough. Sprinkle with sugar and nut mixtures.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of Active Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe. Visit our Lessons in Yeast & Baking for more information on baking.
Great Recipe
This is a wonderful recipe. It is easy to make. I watched a TV show called creative living where they explain how to roll up, twist and cut the T ring before the 2nd rising. It is beautiful too. I used a sugar glaze topping.. just confectioner sugar, milk and a smidge of butter. These are great even a couple of days old.. just put a piece microwave for 15 seconds. I baked mine for a 15 minutes.. it seemed too dark when I went up to 20. I think I have an extra hot oven.. just something to remember. Use parchment paper under the tea ring when you bake.. it will help alot!!!!

A colourful sound for each talent! Three international renowned artists Jacques Lancelot, Guy Deplus and Michel Arrignon collaborated to produce the Festival clarinet. It meets the needs of today's musicians and teachers who are faced with the daunting task of interpreting a wide repertoire of works from Mozart to Boulez. Musicians will certainly appreciate its depth of sound, which is particularly warm. The tone and precision of this instrument are in perfect harmony. The Festival belongs to the R13 bore family and has a rich powerful fluid tone.

Comments about Buffet Fesitval Series Clarinet:
I have played buffet R13s for over 40 years and decided to move up to the Festival. The intonation is much better than the R13s and the tone is just downright fun. I know that is a strange way to put it but there is a richness and eveness that makes you just want to play it. From everything I can see and feel the Festival is the same as the Prestige except for the bore dimensions. It has the same key work, burnishing in the bore, undercutting, Gortex pads, select wood and upgraded case. Outside of the U.S. it is priced the same as the Prestige but in the U.S. its price makes it a real bargain.

That's Criminal
Scarlett Johansson's Hacker Gets 10-Year Sentence & Now We'll Never Get His Juiciest Scoop
Just in case you're thinking about breaking into someone's email, better think twice. Especially if that person happens to be famous. Hacker Christopher Chaney, who broke into at least 50 email accounts -- a lot of them famous women like Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, and Christina Aguilera -- has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Ten years!!! That's more than a lot of murderers get.
Chaney used a pretty simple method to break into the email accounts of famous peeps -- he'd use the "forgot password" option and then answer secret questions, which, when you're famous, the answers to aren't that secret. He'd then monitor emails by having them forwarded to an account he'd set up. He described the feeling as, "You feel like you've seen something that the rest of the world wanted to see. But you're the only one that's seen it ... it was a rush."
Chaney says he not only saw nude photos of celebs -- a few of which he leaked online, most famously of pics Scarlett Johansson that she'd sent to her then-husband Ryan Reynolds -- but claims he also saw emails that made it clear that some of the "straight" actors he was spying on are really gay. And I totally don't want to know who those actors are. Right? You don't want to know, do you? Okay, I do. I'm dying to know. But it's none of my beeswax. But considering all of the juicy stuff this guy must know, he was pretty restrained. He could have sold a lot of it to gossip sites, but never profited from his hacking.
However, one can't ignore some of the more reprehensible stuff he did like breaking into one non-famous woman's email account and sending a nude pic of her to her father. What?! Why?!
While all of this is morally bankrupt behavior, the punishment is quite stiff for his crime. Perhaps the problem is that Chaney has been remorseful and blamed no one else, or nothing else, for his actions. Compare this to hacker Gary McKinnon, who will receive NO jail time after being accused of the "biggest military computer hack of all time." But Gary's lawyers were able to successfully argue that his Asperger's Syndrome made him do it. (??)
I guess it's one thing to break into military computers and another to break into Scarlett Johansson's nude pics!
Do you think his sentence was fair?

"more than a lot of murderer's get?" Wtf? Where the hell did you come up with that little gem. And you are really upset bc you won't get the juicy gossip (information that is NONE of your business) on who is really gay? This man was found guilty of several counts of hacking and wiretapping. He got the punishment he deserved.

Can I Lose Weight Without Losing My Bust?
Answer: One of the little-known upsides to carrying a tad bit of extra weight is that glorious cleavage that diverts attention from your butt. Sadly, when you're shedding fat, you don't get to keep what you want and send the rest packing, says Michele S. Olson, PhD, a professor of exercise science at Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama. The good news is that even if you're losing inches from your chest, you can keep it looking lifted by adding regular strength moves into your routine.
Olson suggests the following exercises: push-ups, planks, bench presses, and dumbbell flyes.

South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin is not off to a great start in his first year with the program. The Gamecocks are currently 12-12, and almost all of their wins came before conference play began. They've lost nine of their last 11 games, and Thursday night's 64-46 beat-down at the hands of LSU was the team's fifth straight loss.
The loss infuriated Martin. To say that he bashed his team in his postgame press conference would be a legendary understatement.
"If you take (point guard) Bruce Ellington off our team, you'd probably have the 12 leading candidates for the starring roles in 'The Return of the Living Dead,' the zombie movie," Martin said, via The Post and Courier. "If you took Bruce off our team, our guys would probably win an Academy (Award) for their performance in that movie. I've been doing this for 28 years, nine of which as a junior varsity high school coach. That means I've dealt with 14-year-olds. I've never been more embarrassed to call myself a basketball coach than I am today.
"If this was the NBA, we'd fine them, we'd take their money, we'd release them and say, 'Good luck with ever finding another job.' It's not the NBA. So we're in education. Somehow, some way, we have to reach them. It's embarrassing."

It's awesome to know that lot of the footage used on this video came from GoPro cameras, which embed Cherokee, an Open Source project I created and in which I did invest a whole lot of time and energy.
Most of the crazy people doing unthinkable things on this video were wearing a Cherokee powered devices to record it. With all the seriousness, how cool is that!! :-)

Mayor Rahm Emanuel hopes to keep gunslingers away from public schools, buses and "safe passage" routes by creating a city ordinance with stiff fines for weapon offenses.
The proposed ordinance comes on the heels of CPS' closing of 49 elementary schools under a plan to tackle low enrollment, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Most of the schools are on the West and South Sides.
The closings have prompted CPS to expand the number of protected safe-passage routes that students take to school. Parents are concerned that their children will have to cross gang boundaries on their way to new schools.
The ordinance, which the mayor intends to introduce Wednesday to the City Council, would create new "school safety zones." Anyone convicted of possessing a gun, ammunition or another "dangerous weapon" in a zone would face a fine of $1,000 to $5,000 for the first offense and a mandatory 30 days in jail.
A second offense would carry a fine of $5,000 to $15,000 and a mandatory three months in jail.
A third offense would carry a fine of $10,000 to $20,000 and a mandatory six-month jail term.
The zones would cover property within 1,000 feet of a school — including parks — during school operating hours from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. They also would include safe-passage routes and buses during those hours.
A city ordinance violation carries less potential time behind bars than a misdemeanor or felony conviction.
"We are always going to seek the highest level of charging for any crime," said Steve Georgas, deputy chief of patrol for the Chicago Police. "But if the state's attorney does not agree, this gives us another tool."
Ald. Walter Burnett (27th), who plans to sponsor the ordinance, said gang members "need to understand schools are off-limits." He said the stiff fines could serve as a deterrent.
"Efforts to increase the costs — in this case literally — of the decision to carry a gun illegally in public seems like a useful thing to do," said Roseanna Ander, executive director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
But Todd Vandermyde, a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association in Illinois, blasted the proposal as a "feel-good announcement that will not achieve anything."
Vandermyde said anyone who obtains a concealed-carry permit in the future would be exempt from the ordinance. That would leave criminals who have not obtained their guns legally, he said.
"Do you honestly see judges issuing $10,000 fines to gang-bangers?" he said. "Judges are letting gang-bangers off the hook with felony UUW [gun possession] convictions."
Vandermyde also wondered whether the city could legally impose a fine larger than the $2,500 maximum fine for the more serious crime of misdemeanor gun possession.
"Every time Chicago has crossed the line, we have shown we will take them to court," he said.

does setting up sims work ok on a 64bit server?

will this work ok?
Yes it does but you will need to run csript commands to register the 32 bit applications. I will find the csripts i had to run and post them for you
He is right - and generally it does work pretty well...
I think there is a patch for FMS, and there is also a specific 64 bit installer for SQL and its native client.
I have a Windows 2008 x64 server, I have installed MS SQL 2005 SP3 x64 Standard.
I have SIMS .net August '09 (v.7.122) working, I didn't need to anything extra. I JUST installed Windows, MSSQL, ran SIMSINST job done.
Please note, workstations are 32bit!
Only tricky bit is making sure you have the latest SIMS setups.
thanks guys ill give it ago and see what happens, just want to make sure fms and exams are ok, is there any part of the sims system that dont support 64bit
We're now running SIMS on Server 2008 Enterprise x64
4 CPUs, 6GB RAM Hyper-V
SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition
Seems to be running fine at the moment.
Can be switched between our physical servers within a minute with quick migration (we couldn't wait for the release of Server 2008 R2 to get live migration)
It was pretty much a standard install - no scripts to run - you just have to remember you are installing to Program Files (x86) for SIMS when you set config settings for SIMS
The only part of the workstation components not supported is the BDE install, which is 16bit (and not needed now anyway, I believe)
The only problem you may come across is the FMS install... On your 32bit stations you will literally need to make a folder called "program files (x86)" and install your FMS client in there if your server is 64 bit.
i am having issues with installing SIMS.net client on windows 2008 64bit everything works except for system manager. it throws and error
netui2.dll is missing
I have copied over the netuiX.dll from the windows 2003 server this got rid of netui1.dll error but i just can't shift the second one.
any ideas?
Your setups are out-of-date.
Sorry, been rather busy today, by setups I mean simsinf.
SIMSinst should be 1.574.2.0
Can I tap into this thread please?
I have a new server for SIMS (still got the old 32bit one running at the moment). The new server will be 64bit 2003 R2 (until we migrate to 2008).
I have the June main release but I think it's the 32bit version because it wont let me install it. What I want to do is to assume I've never used SIMS ever before and just install a fresh copy from scratch then move the databases over. Is this possible and what do I need to do it. Capita support is woefully resourced with info on installing on 64bit servers and how to do it cleanly.
We use FMS as well btw.
Problem most people have is the sims inf is out of date, I'll make post later how to make a new clean setups directory.
