Mark Trumbo was traded Tuesday. He went from being an Angel to a Diamondback.
If we are talking personality only, the previous name suited him better. There is nothing venomous, nor ever will be, about Trumbo.
He took the trade the way he takes everything else.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"I'm pretty much all right with anything," he said during an interview a few days later. He was responding specifically to a question about playing various positions. But the answer can stand as an all-inclusive definition of the man.
As a baseball player, Trumbo is an exceptional talent.
He is 27 and had three full seasons with the Angels. The numerical progression in those three years says much. Home runs: 29, 32, 34; runs batted in: 87, 95, 100; games played: 149, 144, 159; walks, 25, 36, 54.
As a person, Trumbo is exceptionally normal. In the context of a professional athletes' world of fast cars, big paychecks and daily hero-worshipping, he is exceptionally abnormal.
Pro athletes who spend their careers in the spotlight seldom bother to step out and walk over to the guy running the big light to ask about his family. Trumbo is one who would.
He is stunningly even-keeled. If you ever hear that he has started a fight, cursed an umpire or publicly called out a teammate, you've heard wrong. When he hits a home run, he smiles. When he strikes out, he grimaces. It's a professional range of emotion.
The best description of him is the biggest cliche. He was raised right. We've never met his parents and we love them.
Anaheim's loss is Phoenix's gain, and that is being said regardless of whether he ever hits another home run.
This is not an argument that the Angels made a bad deal. They needed pitching, they had other sluggers with locked-in deals. It's a business, not a Girl Scouts cookie sale.
"I had a good idea this was serious," Trumbo said. "I kept hearing the rumors, hearing that either Howie [Kendrick] or I would likely have to go.
"That being said, I have deep roots here. I've been a lifelong Angels fan, and in many ways, it has been pretty much all I've known. It'll be a little tough."
Trumbo was born in Anaheim, went to Villa Park High and was drafted in 2004 by the Angels. Come this spring training, when he steps into a different uniform in a different place and is surrounded by different people, he'll feel it.
"I'll have some jitters," he said. "But you can't be shy. You have a job to do and you need to go to work."
He said he had pondered ways to keep himself in Anaheim as last season came to a close. He knew third base was a weak spot and he considered lobbying to get another shot at that. He had played a few games there a season ago, but says now it was never a good fit, that he wasn't very good there, and so he rejected the idea.
"I have to concede, I was mostly happy with the way I played at first base this season," he said. "I scooped out a lot of low throws and I had infielders thanking me for that. I think I did all right there."
That, of course, didn't matter, once Albert Pujols healed and became ready to return in 2014.
Trumbo will play left field for Arizona. He said that, when he was still in the minors in 2009 he realized that to play first base in Anaheim he was going up against Mark Teixeira and Kendrys Morales.

I've tried to sell this on Ebay a few times and keep getting fraudulent bids with no intent to pay. I really don't want to go through that again so I thought I'd list it here.
It is new, still in the wrapper. The first 5 digits of the serial are 7V743 - so it is 1.1.1.
If you're interested I can send you pictures of it and will even send with it a copy of the original sales receipt showing when and where it was purchased (about 2 weeks ago).
Also - if it will make you more comfortable with the purchase, PM me and I'll give you my cell number so you can ask any questions you might have. This is completely legit - I'm just sick of Ebay. However, if no one is interested by tomorrow I'll probably give Ebay one more try - I'd really like to get it sold before Christmas.
$650 shipped in the US or Canada. Anywhere else it may be a few more $$ for shipping, but not very much. (Paypal, please).

Research explores what QR codes and mobile apps consumers want for automotive aftermarket
Survey findings reveal some significant mobile marketing opportunities for the automotive service industry, particularly with their customers' high, overall rates of mobile app usage (44 percent), but with relatively few of them now using a dealer or...
Key Findings
- Auto service customers are far more likely to use mobile apps (44 percent) than QR codes (18 percent).
- 2-in-3 auto service customers that use mobile apps, use them at least daily.
- Only 10 percent of auto service customers are currently using a mobile app offered by their dealer/service provider.
- Top two places consumers are being routed via QR code scans: 1) product info 2) links to a webpage – typically static, non-actionable destinations.
- What consumers want in auto service providers' QR Codes and mobile apps: coupons and ability to schedule online appointments.
DMEautomotive (DMEa), a provider of science-based, results-driven automotive marketing, released new survey findings on how - and how much - auto service customers are interacting with QR codes and mobile apps. The data also reveals which content and functionality customers most desire from a service center offering. With roughly half of all Americans now toting a smartphone, mobile marketing by dealerships and auto service providers is rightfully surging. And DMEa's findings reveal some significant mobile marketing opportunities for the service industry, particularly with their customers' high, overall rates of mobile app usage (44 percent), but with relatively few of them now using a dealer or service provider app (10 percent).
"Given the massive adoption of smartphones, it's no wonder that mobile apps and QR codes are very hot topics in automotive marketing," said Doug Van Sach, Vice President of Strategy & Analytics at DMEautomotive. "But our survey reveals that businesses that adopt cutting-edge technologies and then feed people irrelevant sales messages, or generic product/business info, are wasting the customer's time and money. People demand real, tangible value, like coupons and discounts, and functionality that will make their lives easier, like instant online appointment scheduling and timely service reminders."
Findings are based on a national survey of 2,000+ U.S. vehicle owners conducted by DMEa's Strategy & Analytics division.
QR Codes Sending People to Non-Actionable and "Sales-y" Content: Less than a fifth of service customers have scanned a QR code. And that modest 18 percent reported to DMEa on where these "scans" took them (i.e., how they interacted with QR codes) in the last year:
Where QR Codes Sent Service Customers in the Last Year
- Obtain additional product information, 44 percent
- Open a webpage link, 44 percent
- Receive coupons or discount, 36 percent
- Enter a sweepstakes or promotion, 33 percent
- Obtain contact information for a person or business, 19 percent
- Make a purchase, 18 percent
- Connect to a social media site, 16 percent
- Access a survey, 15 percent
- Subscribe to receive emails or e-newsletters, 14 percent
- Make an appointment, 10 percent
Notably, the top two "places" consumers are being directed to via QR codes are product info and links to a webpage. These are typically static, "not much in it for me" destinations, which can run the risk of quickly losing a customer's attention.
Auto service customers also reported on what they actually most desire from dealership/service provider QR codes:
Service Customers' "Most Wanted" from QR Codes
- Coupons/discounts
- Current store promotions
- Ability to schedule online appointments
These top three demands ranked higher than all other attributes, including "connecting to provider's website" or getting "general automotive/maintenance info."

I like road trips, reading everything, making lists and drinking beer on the front porch.
All these things I lived through—the strange and fugitive beauty of the desert and the mountains, the primitive realities, the sky and the sand, so easily dissolving in mysteries and visions. All the quiet common things of the earth I came to love, and the simple and useful human beings—life going on, going on.

272 Mcallister, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410237.780687 -122.416533
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Civic Center
Worst service ever! – If there's a way to give a negative star rating...this restaurant deserves it. We had a reservation at 5:45 pm hoping to make an 8:00 pm theatre show. We were seated at 6:15... which was not a problem since we still have plently of time. Then that's when things went spiraling down. Our server took our drink order which includes two glasses of water, a glass of wine, an iced tea, and a margarita. It took 35 minutes to get our drinks! Even water service we had to beg for from a guy who was walking by with pitcher at hand while he glanced at our table and was ready to just move on by. We asked our server several times if we could get our drinks. She says that they are a bit backed up. Well I am not quite sure if they have to hand picked the tea leaves and grapes from a vine, but 35 minutes of wait for drinks is too long. So we have a feeling she forgot to enter our drink orders. Moving forward, we also gave our meal order while ordering our drinks, which is quite simple...3 Prix Fixe order, a salad and one Wagyu (kobe beef dish). Let's see order was placed at 6:25 and our appetizers came in at 7:20. Our main meal came in at 7:35 and our desserts came in at 7:45. What the hell!? We had to eat our food really fast and did not enjoy our meal as much as we wanted to. The Wagyu was pretty bland, the creme brule was watered down. UGH! Hellish hellish experience! On top of that our server was no where to be found... what a mess! So, if you want to try this restaurant... go for it! Eat at your own risk!
Service would help, and a host not 12 – No service, water, b&b plates, knife for butter, full drinks, or napkins.
It all helps if expecting a tip. Got fifty cents..... that is what is deserved. I got spoiled micros and couldnt get anyones attention for help. The mixed greens that are a bedding for the calamari was spoiled and the host had the nerve to argue with me upon sending the food back, WORD FOR THE WISE--" the guest is always right"!!!! Having to go to the the bar for every round of drinks eventually p issed me off. I get my own drink, send the server home. save some overhead.
Its a shame that the new ownership doesnt have the opperations in consistancy. It helps to get return buisiness. I, as well as my coworkers, friends, and family will never contribute to the failure of a once very welcome and comfortable eat. Upon cashing out the server had the audacity to give us two singles and a ten dollar bill, asuming after we spent $150.00 and wasted our time that she would get a generous tip..........Wrong..
great lunch. nice service. addictive mac & cheese – I've eaten at Soluna several times in the past three months for lunch. Everytime I've had great service and the food has been great. I must admit that I am addicted to the mac & cheese. Last time I was there the recipe had changed but it was still good. I think the atmosphere is really cool too. Whenever anyone is remotely close to the Civic Center area, I recommend Soluna and I always get rave reviews.
bad quality of food – This is the first time we eat at this restaurant. We bought a gift certificate online but the server said the certificate is no longer available. Unfortunally we cannot use the gift certificate for the food, but we still want to try the taste of the food, so we order a 3-course dinner and a filet mIgnon. The appretizer is fine, but the filet mIgnon is very small and a little bit salty and a little bit overcook. I think this entree is too expensive $28 for the overcooked salty filet mignon with salty mashed potato and spinach. The desert is fine but a little bit too sweet to me. I don't think I will go back to this restaurant for this kind of food.
Eat before jan 25, 2008 – Soluna's is a regular favorite of ours. We get treated with 5 star service everytime we walk through the door. The owner Rick is very curtious and greets all of his guests with a smile. If he is unavailable the bartender Jack will promptly ask if you would like a table or just a drink. The food always comes seasoned well and piping hot. They don't rush you between courses and make sure your glass is always full. The wait staff is very attentive and knowledgable of the menu. The owner however is moving on in the end of January so we arent sure what is to become of one of our favorites.
Cool, funky decor – Have visited a few times now (all dinners) and liked the food. We've always had courteous waiters - in fact, the last one we had was really funny and friendly, but very professional and attentive. When the kitchen brought out the wrong salad, he promptly got us the right one, and comped it.
Most recent meal was a late night light-bites: Pear/gorgonzola salad - excellent. Lobster bisque - excellent. Crab cakes - somewhat dry. Mussels - very good. Parmesan, White Truffle Garlic Fries - good, but nothing special, and couldn't taste any truffle or garlic.
The decor is really interesting and dramatic - lots of reds, neat-looking seating, beautiful lighting. Original artwork on walls. We've come before Opera performances, late night, or after visiting the Asian Art Museum across the street.
Everything went wrong – Everything that could've gone wrong went wrong. We were seated promptly but because we were seated in corner table, our waiter didn't notice us, waited over 15 minutes before we got served. I had scallops appetizer and they were burnt like as if they were just reheated; burnt on the outside and dry on the inside. I had the pork loin with a side of creamy potatoes. Pork loin was dry and luke-warm and the potatoes were still cold in the center. I informed our waiter and he just brought me another plate of the potatoes and reassured me this time he asked them to 'heat' it up warm but it was still cold again. My husband ordered the steak and it seemed odd when the waiter asked 'how warm do you want it' as we took it he meant 'how well you want it cooked' and my husband said 'medium'. His steak turned out to be slices of beef which was also luke-warm. I tried to make reservations for the night before but they were closed for a private party and with the food that night, it just led me to believe that we probably were served leftovers.
Day or night, solid food and creative cocktails draw a crowd to this Civic Center cafe and lounge. – In Short
The long room, with dark-wood tables and plush red banquettes, sports a split personality. Politicos from the nearby government buildings pass through for a quick lunch or a round of happy-hour libations, but come nightfall, the friendly staff slings cocktails and snacks to scenesters who dance to the grooves of local DJs.
Wonderful atmosphere and great service – We were looking for a place close to the theatre prior to a performance and found this place on line. While the portions weren?t large, the taste and presentation was outstanding. The prix fix dinners are very reasonable price for a multiple course meal. The service was superb and the atmosphere causal but elegant?very romantic.
Excellent romantic lunch – We had a birthday lunch at Soluna this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The banquette seating was comfortable and the decor was generally very attractive. The soups (tomato and vegetable) were hot and flavorful and a nice size for a lunch appetizer. The crab cakes with corn salad were delicious and the cornbread-encrusted catfish likewise. The green salad with the catfish had a little too much dressing but this was a minor complaint. We had a very nice Pinot Grigio and the $70 total (including wine and tip) seemed very appropriate. Highly recommended.

If you have to pay to apply for a scholarship, it is generally a scam. If in question, please check with the Better Business Bureau or the Financial Aid Office regarding the validity of a scholarship "company."
A number of scholarships awarded by the Office of Student Financial Aid do not require a separate application. Some scholarships do require additional applications and/or may have alternate application deadlines. Students should check with their department of study for scholarship opportunities before February 1st. All students are encouraged to complete and file the FAFSA in time for UW to receive processed data by our March 1st priority deadline to be considered for need based awards.
If you are selected for a scholarship that UW administers, you will be notified by a scholarship award letter. The scholarship will also appear on your award notice, and it will be disbursed along with other aid you may be receiving.
If you receive a scholarship, you may find that other sources of aid, such as your Federal Direct Loan, were (or will be) decreased. We may reduce the amount of loan, grant or work-study aid if your scholarship, plus your other aid, equals an amount greater than your need. We will never reduce your Pell Grant for this reason, though. Having your aid rearranged could be upsetting, but it's really in your best interest, because you'll usually be borrowing less money and receiving more in gift assistance.

AIG Executives Blow $440,000 After Getting Bailout
If you'd just gotten a government bailout, you might be tempted to hold a retreat at a nice California hotel -- and that's exactly what American International Group (AIG) employees did.
The committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. to address and examine downfall of AIG, the world's largest insurance company. The committee planned to discuss the financial excesses and regulatory mistakes that led to AIG's government bailout.
One of the items discussed was AIG's expenditure of $440,000 for a corporate retreat at the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort in Dana Point, Calif., about midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. These funds were spent on Sept. 22, a week after the Federal Reserve extended an $85 billion emergency loan to AIG to keep it from going bankrupt due to insurance liabilities.
The St. Regis Monarch Beach resort is described on its Web site as "a landmark resort of legendary proportions."
Legendary, indeed.

To kickstart my new year of travelling, I decided to take a step out of Frankfurt for the day (which I have rarely done) and have a look around Mainz with two girlfriends. We laughed to see that there was still a very small Christmas market – with most of the drinks all sold out and just a dribble of mulled wine left!
I have to be honest with you – Mainz was boring. Very very boring. But what it did have going for it was lots of street art/sculptures/things to look at. Like this fountain.
Can you spot the real dog?
Mainz cathedral had a really sinister vibe to it. The decor and things inside were pretty spooky…
Like this one here with the fat dude in the middle with Jesus on the cross and the skeleton beside him.
We spent FOREVER trying to find the roman theatre!
But this is all we found when we eventually got there…
For me, the highlight of the day was St Stephen's church.
Which had gorgeous blue stained glass windows. It really was beautiful, and we got there just at sunset so it was simply gorgeous.
I think Mainz is a place for the summer/carnival time. Not really for the winter… for how much they try and attract tourists, their signage wasn't so good, and there weren't THAT many things to do. Maybe I should go again in the summer and try again…

Comment: I received this helmet promptly after ordering. The helmet is pictured exactly as it arrived, and arrived packed well and in good condition. The helmet fits well and doesn't get heavy or uncomfortable in extended use situations. It seems to breath well and doesn't muffle sound too much. I actually like wearing it, as the solid feel of the helmet makes me feel much safer. The contruction is very solid and the padding comfortable. Great customer service as well.

Comment: I originally had a skid lid, but needed more. As others might have noted sound level half or better. I wear glasses and need to remove b4 putting helmet on or talking off. No more eating bugs, helps keep vision even in rain. Good value, good helmet. The only bad (sad) thing it's made outside of the U.S. (China).

Comment: I have not tried any of the more expensive helmets (>$100) - other than testing the fit. This one does the job, is comfortable for the longest ride I have had (1hr) and fits well. I think it is good for the money.
Fishers, IN
Comment: Great helmet! If I were to improve upon the design though, I would add more or bigger air intakes.
B. Price
Columbus, GA USA
Comment: I ordered my helmet from Jafrum, and I recieved my order 3 days later, which was about 4 days earlier than I was told it might take. I was shocked to find it on my door step so soon. The helmet is comfortable, and well fitting, and I feel it would probably do its job, but I hope not to find out. :)
Comment: So far, the helmet looks great. Fits okay. Don't be afraid to ORDER LARGER THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED! I usually wear a large, have been wearing a medium, I ordered this in XL and it is quite snug! Not painfully so, but definitely glad I ORDERED THE BIGGER SIZE!

Comment: Great customer service coupled with good value for your money. I'm a repeat customer who will continue to buy from Jafrum.
Richard S

Comment: I suggest going a size up from what you normally purchase. Mine was really tight. I bought the same size from my local powersports store and it fit perfectly. I ended up selling this one. that being said, they are quality items. just smaller than you think
Lindale TX
Comment: I find this helmet to be comfortable and enjoyable to wear.
Huey Hiers
Berlin Ga.
Comment: The helmet was delivered quickly, and it appeared to be of good quality. My issue was the size. I'm typically a medium, but all of the reviews said it run small, and the helmet chart indicated a large so I ordered a large. When I got it, the helmet was too big. I returned it and Jafrum reimbursed me with no problems. I'd definitely use Jafrum again.
Ellicott City, MD
Comment: Loved this helmet. Cool, comfortable and looks sharp. Thanks for the speedy service.
Dripping Springs, TX
Comment: Very good quality ,if you wear a size medium i would order a large . the helmet is comfortable but fits very snug.
jhal rosenquist

Comment: The HCI for under $50 is a great buy and fine helmet. I especially like the fit around the ears and the wind noise is reduced greatly, better than my first helmet (VEGA). The quick release attachment is well worth the convenience and price. Fast service and back up on quality.
Frank Shaffer
Williamsburg, Va.
Comment: Perfect snug fit. Strap takes some getting used to buckle without mirror. Front visor very good.
Comment: everything in description & features is very accurate in my opinion. Very good helmet,am realy glad I bought one. The service was excellent...
clearfield IA
Comment: I ordered the HC1 20 scooter helmet recently and am very satisfied with the quality of the helmet. I thought my head would sweat but it does not. Its very comfortable and light on my head. The protective shield in the front does its duty very well. No wind and I can see very clear with it. I am very satisfied with this helmet. I feel I got a real bargain with this helmet. Very affordable.

Jennifer Norris of Rumford wipes away what she said were tears of joy on Thursday in Washington, DC, as she discussed legislation that would revamp the way the military prosecutes sexual assault cases. Norris said she was raped and sexually assaulted several times during her Air Force career, including during her time with the Maine Air National Guard.
By Kevin Miller
Staff Writer
WASHINGTON – Lawmakers from both parties are backing legislation co-authored by Maine Sen. Susan Collins that would revamp the military's judicial system to address an "epidemic" of sexual assault in the armed forces.
The proposal introduced Thursday comes as the Pentagon finds itself under increasing pressure from Congress, an impatient White House and veterans' groups to more aggressively address an issue that continues to plague the military, despite increased awareness and training.
On Thursday President Obama summoned top military officials and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to the White House to discuss the issue. After the meeting, Obama said military leaders were ashamed of the recent incidents and vowed to continue focusing on the issue.
The meeting came one week after a report estimated that 26,000 service personnel experienced sexual assault or abuse in 2012 and followed several embarrassing incidents in which officers responsible for sexual assault prevention were themselves accused of crimes.
"This epidemic of sexual abuse cannot stand," said Collins, a Republican and prominent voice on Capitol Hill, on military sexual assault issues. "We must take these allegations seriously and, most of all, we must ensure that justice is swift and certain for the criminals who have perpetrated these crimes."
The bill written by Collins and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., would make broad changes to the way the military handles crimes punishable by jail terms of one year or longer, which are crimes generally classified as felonies in civilian courts.
Instead of allowing commanders to decide whether to pursue a case, the decisions would be handled by military prosecutors and lawyers. Crimes that are uniquely military in nature, such as absent without leave or disobeying orders, would still be handled by the military chain of command.
The proposal would also revoke military commanders' ability to overturn convictions or lessen penalties for sexual assault crimes, The changes, long sought by advocacy groups, have gained momentum in Washington following several high-profile reversals.
Gillibrand said the plight of military sexual assault survivors has attracted national attention as a result of a "series of incredibly hard-to-fathom events," highlighting the need to change a judicial system that she said is a holdover from George Washington's time.
"We have to seize this opportunity and act now so that we can move towards a true, zero-tolerance reality in the armed services," Gillibrand said. "Words are not enough at this point. We need action."
Maine resident Jennifer Norris was among the sexual assault survivors who spoke during Thursday's news conference. An Air Force veteran, Norris said she was raped, sexually assaulted and retaliated against on numerous occasions by four individuals, over a period that included her time with the Maine Air National Guard.
Norris did not report the rape or initial assaults because she said she had seen other women kicked out of the Air Force for reporting incidents. Two of her superior officers were eventually allowed to resign in lieu of administrative hearings, thereby avoiding a public record.
Norris was medically retired from the Air Force as a result of PTSD related to the sexual assaults.
Norris, who now works with the Military Rape Crisis Center and the organization Protect Our Defenders, said the current system is "rigged against the victims" and that commanders are often biased in favor of perpetrators who outrank an accuser.
"Until we fix the system and make it safe for victims to report and remove command bias and conflict of interest from the process, and take reporting and adjudication out of the chain of command, the military will continue to be plagued by rape and sexual assault," Norris said.
The Gillibrand-Collins bill and its companion measure in the House are among a long list of proposed legislative fixes to the sexual assault issue pending with Congress. Collins and other lawmakers are also working on a bill that would require a mandatory dishonorable discharge for perpetrators convicted of rape and sexual assault.
Gillibrand said she expects her bill -- or pieces of it -- to be considered for inclusion in the omnibus defense spending authorization bill.
On Monday, the House is expected to vote on a measure sponsored by Maine Rep. Chellie Pingree -- and named for Maine veteran Ruth Moore -- that aims to help "military sexual trauma" victims qualify for disability benefits. The bill would apply the same evidentiary standards for mental health problems from sexual assault as applied to combat veterans seeking disability benefits for post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
Pingree discussed the issue with Obama during a recent meeting at the White House. On Thursday, she and Sen. Jon Tester of Montana -- lead sponsor of the Ruth Moore Act in the Senate -- sent a letter to the president urging him to implement the procedural changes at the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs without waiting for congressional action.
"In 2010, the VA relaxed evidentiary standards to make it easier for combat veterans suffering from PTSD to get the disability benefits they need," Pingree and Tester wrote. "It is past time the VA make a similar regulatory change for (military sexual trauma) survivors. And you can direct them to do so."
The Pentagon report released last week estimated that, based on anonymous surveys of more than 100,000 personnel, 26,000 service members experienced sexual assault or unwanted sexual contact in 2012. That represented a 37 percent increase from two years earlier. In actuality, fewer than 3,400 sexual assault or abuse cases were reported in 2012.
In remarks made after meeting with military officials Thursday, the president said leaders at the table had expressed "that they're ashamed by some of what's happened." The president indicated his administration would continue to work with Congress to address the issue. Defense Secretary Hagel will also hold weekly meetings to find solutions to the issue.
"There's no silver bullet to solving this problem. This is going to require a sustained effort over a long period of time," the president said, according to White House press pool reports.

I have an asus m50sa notebook that has 4965agn wireless card. When I bought it i ran Vista x86 and i was able to change the mac address, but now since i had upgraded to Windows 7 x64 I am unable to change the mac address, and i need to, because my isp requires my mac address and i want some mobility in my home, and with ethernet i can't do that. Does anyone knows why i can't do that in Windows 7? Please help me!
Thank you.
mac address of the adapter is a fixed unique parameter and cant be changed. Can you list the steps you followed to change the mac address when you ran vista x86 according to your note above?
Yes I know it is a fixed parameter, but it can be changed with a virtual one.
In vista x86:
1. adapter Properties
2. Configure
3. Advanced tab
4. NetworkAddress.
In win7 x64 the NetworkAddress parameter isn't listed. It's like I canged my wireless card, but it's the same.
Anyone knows what is the cause of this problem? Because I really need to change the mac address and I want also to figure out why this problem exists. Can be a problem caused by Win7?
Please help me!!!

Photometry by A. C. Gilmore and P. M. Kilmartin (Mt. John Observatory, New Zealand) include May 1.54 UT, 12.27 V; 9.51, 12.81 V; 13.53, 11.58 V (IAU Circular 5791). The AAVSO light curve of EX Lup from 1985 to 1989 shows the star quiet, with two or three possible brightenings indicated by single observations. The light curve from 1989 to the present shows scatter in the observations, indicating activity on the order of one to one-and-a-half magnitudes, but no magnitudes brighter than 12.4. Enclosed is an AAVSO finder chart of EX Lup. Please monitor this interesting star closely and report your observations to Headquarters. REVISION OF REQUEST TO MONITOR 2138+43 SS CYGNI AND 1014+20 AD LEO Observers are reminded of the request (see AAVSO Alert Notice 171) from astronomers observing with the Japanese x-ray satellite ASCA for both visual and photoelectric observations of the dwarf nova-type cataclysmic variable SS Cyg and the flare star AD Leo. The observation interval for SS Cygni has been revised, so that both stars will be observed during the week of May 24. Please monitor these stars closely in the coming weeks and inform Headquarters by telephone of their behavior, particularly if you observe SS Cyg brightening and/or you observe a flare of AD Leo. 1719-23 NOVA OPHIUCHI 1993 N Oph 93 (see AAVSO Alert Notice 170, 171) has been continuing to fade rapidly, and is presently at about magnitude 13.0. As it fades below 13.4, observers are requested to use the lettered sequence on the accompanying AAVSO chart to observe N Oph 93 and to report their observations to Headquarters. 0947+69 SN 1993J in NGC 3031 This bright supernova (see AAVSO Alert Notices 169, 170, 171) is continuing to fade, and is presently at approximately magnitude 12.6. Please continue your close monitoring of this supernova, and indicate which comparison stars you have used and from which AAVSO Alert Notice they have come when reporting your observations. The answering machine (617-354-0484) in on nights and weekends for your convenience. Janet Mattei, who is in California attending a meeting, and I thank you for your valuable observations and your efforts. Clear Skies and Good Observing! Elizabeth O. Waagen Senior Technical Assistant

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -- Animals are therapeutic, and it seems they can melt away the stress of college as well.
Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia set up a "puppy room" so students could spend a few minutes with trained therapy dogs.
The idea is to help students deal with exam time, which can be pretty rough. More than 300 students lined up to pet the dogs when the room first opened.
At one point the wait time to get into the room was nearly 45 minutes.

Car Stolen After Auto Shop Employee Leaves Engine Running – Buford Patch
A Mall of Georgia Honda employee said he was preparing to leave work on Sept. 29 when a suspect walked onto the auto retailer's parking lot and stole his vehicle.
The employee said he left his car running next to the shop while he went inside the building for a brief period. A few minutes later, he noticed a man walking in the parking lot. Believing the man to possibly be a customer, the employee waved at the man and the man waved back.

When the detective arrived at my home, he had a folder in his hand. "We just have some paperwork to take care of first," he said. After I signed his forms, he gave me a box with the clothes my mother was wearing when she was murdered. It had been almost a year, but I needed to touch them, to know how many times she was shot, to see where she had been hurt.
My mom, Dawn Hochsprung, was the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Recently, I told a woman that my mother had passed away just over a year ago. I was trying to be polite, but I instantly felt disgusted with myself for using the term "passed away." My mother was shot to death through no fault of her own. That is not "passing away." She was killed, gunned down in what I would normally have called her haven - her school.
There have been at least 39 school shootings since the massacre in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012. Already this year there have been 10 school shootings, including one Thursday at Eastern Florida State College. Sadly, Americans seem to be getting used to seeing our nation's youth, parents and educators gather outside schools, waiting to hear if their loved ones are safe.
This past December, the holiday season felt wrong. There was an empty place at our table, and traditions didn't seem to matter anymore. My daughter was not yet 6 months old when my mother was killed. I tuck her into bed each night with a stuffed doll that was the first and only Christmas gift she'll ever get from her grandmother. The doll is a nightly reminder that my daughter will never know my mother.
During my mother's wake, my 10-year-old son burst into tears and asked me why, of all the schools in America, this had to happen at Grandma's school. I didn't know how to tell him the truth: that this could happen anywhere, that such shootings might continue to happen.
Immediately after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, discussion of safer gun laws consumed the nation. At the time, I thought it was too soon - 26 innocent people had just been slaughtered at the school, and we were mourning.
I realize now that I was wrong: It wasn't too soon - it was already too late.
It was too late for my family and for all the families of Sandy Hook. It was too late for the families of the victims of Columbine, Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois, Tucson, Aurora and Oak Creek.
Early last year it felt like the tragedy in Newtown was an eye-opener to the problem of gun violence in our country. But since Newtown, more than 12,000 Americans have been killed by gun violence. Last April, a majority of senators voted for a bipartisan bill to expand background checks and keep guns out of the wrong hands - but a minority caved to the gun lobby and was able to block passage.
I thought Congress' failure to pass gun-safety legislation would shatter my hopes. But it did the opposite: I and others who make up the 90 percent of Americans who support comprehensive background checks aren't going away. We're here to share our stories and fight for our future.
As the daughter of a shooting victim, I hope no one else ever has to suffer through my experience. As a mother, I am horrified by the thought that this senseless violence could happen again anywhere, at any moment. There have been too many shootings and too many moments of silence. There is a national movement of Americans, from mayors to moms, raising our voices. We demand action - closing the private-sale loophole - from our leaders, and we will win the fight against gun violence.
