What was the name of the wallet you talked about yesterday and where can it be purchased?
By: Marilyn on September 2, 2011
Love your station -- love the fact that you play the National
Anthem every morning, that you had a real prayer on air last
Friday morning, that you chat less and play more songs, and that when your D.J.'s do chat, it is all family friendly.
Thank you.

You did a great job of selling me on the services of a company who sell slightly used furniture on consignment and will come to ones house to pick it up.
Since i heard this, I find that I am moving to Oregon and will not need some of my furnishings up there. Please email to me your advitiser's contact information. Or if you cannot do that please call me and leave a message with the info. Email would be a good way to let me know also.

THANK YOU!!! As a bussiness leader and father, fumbling through a brutal economy, caused by a government who has abandoned the value system that built it!!

Shingles warning......Regarding the conversation this morning 9/25.... Please be aware that Shingles ( Herpes Zoster) in rare cases can cause a Stroke Syndroome... about 6 - 8 weeks after the lesions subside in rare cases the body can start a stroke syndrome where the body continues to stroke ( not TIA's Trans eschemic attacks) but full on bleeds in the brain.....
It happened to my mom in 2006.... She had a horrible bought of shingles brought about by the chemical in a shampoo.. the shingles were on her scalp in her ear in her eyes.... awful it took a good two to three weeks for those to subside.. that was in March on May 8th she started her strokes she had a series of nine in a two months time.. they told me to get her affairs in order... but we run an alternative wellness center and we did just as your wife.. essential oils .. whole food nutrition and Sympathetic Resonance Technoligies...... It was a long fight and it took about 4 years for my mom to make a full recovery..
I'm proud to say we celebrated her 83rd birthday last month.... but I would not wish this past 7 years on any one ... please, please be cautious.... KTB

I switched to your station because of all the nonsense on the others.
This morning they wanted comments on an email they received. A gentleman called in with his opinion and the dj's just kept talking while he was trying to talk. I feel that was very unprofessional.
This is not the first time it has happened and I am quite disgusted with it.
I will no longer listen to the morning show with Big D and Bubba. I will find another radio station to listen to.
you have lost a listener! !!

A Proposed Monetary Regime for Small Commodity-Exporters: Peg the Export Price ("PEP")
AbstractOn the one hand, the big selling points of floating exchange rates - monetary independence and accommodation of terms of trade shocks - have not lived up to their promise. On the other hand, proposals for credible institutional monetary commitments to nominal anchors have each run aground on their own peculiar shoals. Rigid pegs to the dollar are dangerous when the dollar appreciates. Money targeting doesn't work when there is a velocity shock. CPI targeting is not viable when there is a large import price shock. And the gold standard fails when there are large fluctuations in the world gold market. This paper advances a new proposal called PEP: Peg the Export Price. Most applicable for countries that are specialized in the production of a particular mineral or agricultural product, the proposal calls on them to commit to fix the price of that commodity in terms of domestic currency. A series of simulations shows how such a proposal would have worked for oil producers over the period 1970-2000. The paths of real oil prices, exports, and debt are simulated under alternative regimes. An illustrative finding is that countries that suffered a declining world market in oil or other export commodities in the late 1990s, would under the PEP proposal have automatically experienced a depreciation and a boost to exports when it was most needed. The argument for PEP is that it simultaneously delivers automatic accommodation to terms of trade shocks, as floating exchange rates are supposed to do, while retaining the credibility-enhancing advantages of a nominal anchor, as dollar pegs are supposed to do.

Robots: Stiquito
In this episode, Audrow Nash interviews James Conrad, professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, about the history of the autonomous walking robot, Stiquito. Stiquito is a small, inexpensive hexapod (i.e., six-legged) robot that has been used since 1992 by universities, high schools, and hobbyists. It is propelled by nitinol, an alloy actuator wire that expands and contracts, and roughly emulates the operation of a muscle. Nitinol contracts when heated and returns to its original size and shape when cooled. The robot can be outfitted with several sensors for more advanced behavior, such as obstacle avoidance, line following, and light tracking.

Robots: Ekso Bionics
In this episode, Audrow Nash speaks to Russ Angold, co-founder and CTO of Ekso Bionics, about the wearable bionic suit, Ekso. This suit enables individuals with any amount of lower extremity weakness to stand up and walk over ground with a natural, full weight bearing, reciprocal gait. Walking is achieved by the user's weight shifts to activate sensors in the device which initiate steps. Battery-powered motors drive the legs, replacing deficient neuromuscular function.

VAIL — Olympic downhill champion Lindsey Vonn announced on Tuesday that she is pulling out of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics due to a knee injury that has plagued her for most of the current season.
"I am devastated to announce that I will not be able to compete in Sochi," Vonn, 29, wrote on her Facebook page on Tuesday morning. "I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL, but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level."
Vonn had originally injured her right knee when she tore two ligaments in during a high-speed crash at the world championships last February, sidelining her for about 10 months. She re-tore her surgically repaired ACL in a training crash in November, a key setback. Then, after returning to competition in early December by finishing 40th, 11th and fifth in a set of World Cup races at Lake Louise, Alberta, Vonn sprained her MCL during a race at Val d'Isere, France, last month.
Vonn skied out of the race, clutching her knee in pain in the World Cup downhill race.
"I didn't hurt myself more than I'm already hurt," Vonn said after Val d'Isere. "The thing is I have no ACL. So unless I get surgery there's nothing really magical that I can do that's going to make it better. I just can get my leg stronger, my muscle stronger and try and support it a little more. But that has a small impact. My knee is loose and it's not stable and that's the way it's going to be from here on out. I just have to get used to it."
A statement issued by her publicist said that Vonn plans to repair the knee and refocus on the 2015 World Championships in Vail.
"(The injuries) made it impossible to stabilize her knee and be ready to safely ski again next month," the statement said. "She will have surgery shortly and is expected to make a full recovery in time for the 2014-15 World Cup season and the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships in Vail andBeaver Creek."
Vonn will have her surgery in Vail and wrote on her Facebook post that she'll be supporting her teammates — as a spectator —come February.
"On a positive note, this means there will be an additional spot so that one of my teammates can go for gold," she said. "Thank you all so much for all of the love and support. I will be cheering for all of the Olympians and especially team USA!"
The injury also means that Vonn will have to wait to get three more wins to match Austrian skier Annemarie Moser-Proell's record of 62 victories in World Cup races.
Vail support
In Vail, where Vonn lives and trained in her formative years, there was both support and disappointment at the news.
Eagle-Vail local and World Cup slalom champion Mikaela Shiffrin tweeted, "It's hard to swallow that @lindseyvonn won't be competing in Sochi, but I'm incredibly impressed at her determination. She's a true #hero."
Former U.S. Ski Team member and Vail resident Sarah Schleper expressed support, saying she was proud of Vonn's decision.
"I think it's the smartest decision she could have made. She already has a gold medal, and I really want her to go for the record (for World Cup wins)," said Schleper. "I'm proud of her for trying, and she maybe realized she could hurt it a lot worse by having her knee not at 100 percent."
For fans, of which she has many in Vail, it is a disappointment to see Vonn out for the season. Nellie Talbot, 14, ski races for Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, and said she has always looked up to Vonn.
"I've seen her around the club, and she's really encouraging and nice," said Talbot. "It's fun to watch her. I heard the news from friends at the club this morning. I thought that its sad, with her recovery so well and all."
And then there's the 2015 World Championships, where many Vail supporters hope Vonn can stage a comeback. Ceil Folz, of the Vail Valley Foundation, which is organizing the championships, said she wishes Vonn a speedy and full recovery.
"While we can only imagine how tough this realization and decision must be for Lindsey, at the end of the day, her health and wellbeing are the most important things to keep in mind," said Folz. "We wish her a successful surgery and speedy recovery, and we look forward to seeing her in the starting gate for the 2015 World Championships in Vail and Beaver Creek."

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about my previous post and a lot of my frustrations with education. Although I do not have any answers, through my recent internet binges, a few things have stood out to me that I would like to share. The first is a Ted Talk called "How to speak so that people want to listen" by Julian Treasure. I like it because only once in my life have I noticed someone who had an amazing way of making all sorts of different kinds of people listen to him, and what I learned was he follows almost all of these rules. Who knew? I could definitely use some practice in this!
The other gem I found today also happens to be a Ted Talk about "How to make hard choices" by Ruth Chang. As I struggle with my own career decisions, such as whether to stay in public education or to risk doing something else, her ideas about creating reasons for making decisions based off the kind of person you want to be was incredibly powerful.
At some point during my internet binge I found myself reviewing my tweets over the past year. One of them in particular stood out. It said
"Keep Believing in Good things,"
I had posted it a little over a year ago when I had a conversation with ironically the person who has a way of talking where people listen (who I mentioned above). He spoke these words to me and I really held on to them because I wanted to believe good things would happen. It was at a time when I was really unsure and doubting my role in education. I had this idea that there was just all this awfulness and I can't justify being part of something I consider so awful. It was (and continues to be) a struggle.
But at least for today and maybe tomorrow, I will keep believing in good things as I make decisions deciding the kind of person I want to be.

I know I know one more mower question from me...
I have been able to locate a 3160 mower and 3260 mower. What a the differences between the two? The only one I can is the the 3260 is built like a tank compared to the 3160. But maybe I'm mistaken?

As I got married on Saturday, there will be no TWIMQ post this week, but I wanted to share The View From My Seat from my pre-Honeymoon.
Mets prospect Kevin Plawecki has a reportedly mild case of vertigo and will get a few days off to recover. Get well soon, Kevin.
Derek Jeter continues to outsell everyone else.
This submission pays tributes to current Mets broadcaster, borderline HOF'er, and former Mets Capitan Keith Hernandez. 'Mex' played a pivotal role in some of the greater Mets teams of the 80's. Perhaps one of the best defenders and leaders in team history, Keith is served in a suggestive pose over ham, american cheese, green peppers, onions, and lettuce. Lettuce Go Mets!
The second submission in the 'Mets Heroes' series stars a trio from the 1999 Mets. Al Leiter was the de facto Ace in '99, and the bullpen was actually pretty decent due to the contributions of Benetiz and Turk Wendell. This sub sandwich is overstuffed with crispy Benetiz, sweaty Leiter, and a generous slice of Turk.
i like Bobby Abreu and Brown as a platoon but i don't know if Bobby could play as much as we need him to at his age. with the 2nd wild card most teams are in the playoff hunt so it's hard to find too many teams with good to average players who are available right now. most of these guys are older and will be free agents at the end of the year or next. so i don't expect them to cost too much in talent to acquire, aside from a few names. here are some trade targets for the Mets to consider. Nate Schierholtz, Justin Ruggiano, Reed Johnson, Matthew Joyce, Ben Zobrist, Marlon Byrd, Carlos Gonzalez,, Michael Cuddyer, Chase Headley, Carlos Quentin, Matt Kemp, Scott Van Slyke,

CD Review: Hurts - Exile
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 06 March 2013 14:53
- Written by JeeJay
Artist: Hurts
Title: Exile
Genre: Synth-Pop / Pop
Release Date: 8th March 2013
Label: Four Music (Sony Music) / RCA
Album Review
The band HURTS came a bit as a surprise three years ago with the massive hit 'Wonderful Life'. The duet coming from UK was like a blast from the 80's, reminding a lot, may it be in the video, photo, attitude, of all the HUMAN LEAGUE, SPANDAU BALLET, HEAVEN 17... but, let's be honest, with a darkest side, very melancholic. Their success put the Synth-Pop back into the charts, which was already a good thing in itself. Useless to say there are some great expectations on this follow up, and I was really thrilled to the idea of listening to it.
The opening track 'Exile' surprises. Just like if the duet wanted to get rid of the soft and clean image. Distorted voice and guitar on a dark mood mid but heavy tempo merged with electronic. A good debut. 'Miracle', the first single, is a typical HURTS song. It sounds bigger than the debut album, as usual with a 2nd effort, just like if the band wanted to say "We're back, but with more money, so bigger production"! 'Sandman' is a bit scary at start with this kind of R'n'B rhythm and production, but as the voice comes in, we're back in Hurts world. The children choir is a bit annoying and the all thing gives the feeling it's meant for MTV. At this stage I just hope they ain't gonna follow the path of bands like MAROON 5! What is this crazy thing about pop act that starts their career with a real original sound and universe and think they have then to sound like MC Something! What's next? A featuring with P-Something or what?
'Blind' is back to HURTS sound. Although some naive lyrics ("Since the day I left you I can't stop crying blah blah blah style") and annoying children choir (again), let's say it's a OK track. Fortunately 'Only You' raises the level suddenly. Up-tempo, electro bass, dirty sounding (ok, "dirty" in Hurts world guys, don't expect Ben Hillier on the mixing desk either)... back to what we used to like. 'Cupid' carries on with a slide guitar riff very DEPECHE alike and "dirty" electronic rhythms. Could have been a great first single... maybe too risky for RCA's and Sony's A&R? The album follows then with this strange feeling about a band hesitating between two directions: go the mainstream way or go the dirty experimental electronic way. 'Mercy' is a good illustration of it. Just like you were switching your TV Channel between MTV1, MTV Alternative and VH1 Classic!
The 80's influence is still very present (which is certainly the main reason of their success, let's not forget it) and collapsing with strange noises, distorted guitars and synths... even vocals are distorted here and there... very strange feeling in fact. Not un pleasant at all... but something still restrain from saying "Yeah, that rocks!" No really stood out tracks raise from the album. Sometimes you find yourself skipping a track to another after a couple of minutes. Maybe this album needs some more time to get into it? But overall, I must admit I'm a bit disappointed... This constant hesitation between mainstream and Indie is very frustrating. Having said that, Hurts still have a lot of potential and we all know the story of the 2nd album trap.
Let's hope they will choose a clear direction for the next one... if there is a next one. And let's not forget this kind of bands at least put electronic and Synth-Pop in the mainstream charts, allowing pop audiences getting familiar (again) to those sounds. If HURTS' destiny is to be a bridge between those two worlds, so be it, it will already be a big achievement

In their default configuration, common NAT routers do effectively handle the particular problem of unsolicited inbound packets reaching a computer on an internal network.
But sometimes networks have requirements that make NAT boxes inadequate, and that is what this FAQ explores.
NAT routers are sometimes called Broadband routers, DSL routers, or "networks in a box". NAT routers are devices that let you build a network with multiple local computers sharing a single IP address on the Internet. Technically these devices are called "many:1 NAT routers" (abbreviated "M:1 NAT routers") or NAPT routers, to differentiate them from other sorts of special purpose NAT routers that exist.
Switches and hubs are different devices that do not have the same security features.
NAT routers provide very good protection for normal homes, and small offices and home offices (SOHOs) against unsolicited inbound events from outside the network. So an NAT router is normally adequate for homes and SOHOs for protection against incoming events.
However, you will want to consider additional protection for these reasons:
1.1 You should definitely run a software firewall on any computer that connects to AOL using a different Internet Service Provider (AOL's Bring-Your-Own-Access plan or AOL MAX using an ISP) no matter what kind hardware firewall or NAT router you have.
AOL BYOA connects to your computer by creating a "tunnel" through the Internet. With AOL BYOA, tunneling uses your real IP address to connect you to AOL's network where you have a second IP address. Traffic using that second IP address is inside the tunnel.
With AOL, the far end of the tunnel is other AOL customers and the Internet, so it is untrusted. »www.mynetwatchman.com/kb/securit···ndex.htm
The solution is to use a software firewall. A software firewall will effectively filter the traffic after it leaves AOL's tunnel and before it gets into the rest of your computer. In some countries AOL9 Max includes the free option of installing the McAfee Firewall Express software firewall.
Somewhat similarly, if you connect to an untrusted network using Virtual Private Networking (VPN), you should either use a software firewall or an external VPN firewall.
VPN uses encrypted "tunnels" for privacy. Traffic is only decrypted when it leaves the tunnel. Each end of the tunnel looks somewhat like an extension of the LAN at the other end: one end of the tunnel may have LAN IP addresses such as 192.168.1.xxx and the other end may have LAN IP addresses such as 192.168.10.xxx. Network Address Translation is not used for traffic when it leaves the VPN tunnel, so there is no NAT protection for traffic through the tunnel.
With VPN, you can use software firewalls. Alternatively you can use an external VPN capable firewall. With an external VPN firewall, the VPN tunnel can be configured to end on the external VPN firewall. This means the external firewall is decrypting the VPN traffic, and it can then examine the traffic and protect your computers.
Be sure to test that your external firewall is configured correctly to protect against unauthorized traffic from outside and inside the tunnel.
1.2 If you have to turn on port forwarding or the DMZ to run servers or other applications you should consider either a software firewall or a more expensive SPI firewall.
Turning on port forwarding means traffic for the forwarded ports is forwarded to the specified computer automatically, without the protection of NAT. (Most NAT routers do at least basic packet filtering, in addition to NAT. So there is some protection, but not specifically against unsolicited traffic.)
In this circumstance you can add a software firewall, or run a more complex and expensive hardware firewall or firewall appliance.
The safer methods of "port triggering" or UPnP can be used instead of port forwarding or the DMZ, and this avoids this vulnerability. (See below.)
However, if you are running a publicly available server you will probably have to use port forwarding.
1.3 Generally software firewalls provide valuable additional protection that supplements the protection provided by NAT routers and SPI firewalls.
They can inexpensively provide good protection for individual computers on your network in the event that one of the computers gets infected.
Software firewalls can also watch for trojans, viruses, or unauthorized legitimate software, trying to connect out. Software firewalls have the advantage that they know what is going on inside your computer, they can see which program is trying to get out, and whether that program has changed since the last time it tried to get out. External firewalls and NAT routers can't do that.
The downside of software firewalls is that they can be shutdown by users, stalled or terminated by other software on the PC malfunctioning, and certain viruses and trojans disable them or shut them down.
On the other hand, while external firewalls and NAT routers don't know exactly what is going on inside your computer, they are simple devices that are much less likely to have problems that cause them to fail dangerously.
Ideally a software firewall should be an additional layer of protection behind an NAT router or external firewall. For homes a free version of a software firewall is normally adequate for this additional layer of protection.
- ZoneAlarm Free
Look for the free version / free download, and continue to ask for it rather than the Pro version.
- Sygate Personal Firewall
- Kerio Personal Firewall Limited Free Version (Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall)
Look for the "limited free" version.
For businesses, computers running public servers, and computers on wireless networks, a paid-for version of a software firewall provides more protection by allowing more customization and more precise control.
2. In selecting an NAT router, software firewall, or hardware firewall, consider its logging and alerts capabilities.
A good protective system lets you know if there is a determined attack against you.
- Does it let you see what events have occurred recently, including the date and time, local port and IP address, remote port and IP address, and protocol?
- Is it supported by the free firewall log analysis and reporting organizations myNetWatchman and DShield? ( »www.mynetwatchman.com »www.dshield.org )
- Is there a good log analysis tool available from the manufacturer, or are third party log analysis tools available?
Ideally you want tools that will let you see the one month history of those IP remote addresses that have caused firewall events in the past 24, 48 or 72 hours. Also they should have the ability to show events from only those remote IP addresses that have caused events on more than one local port.
For some products, third party log analysis tools are available that will provide this capability.
There is more on this topic here: /faq/8226
3. If the router or firewall is wireless, secure the wireless interface.
These days many routers and firewalls include both wired and wireless capabilities. And there is not always a visible antenna.
Be sure to check the router's manual to see if it has a wireless capability. If it does, either disable the wireless interface, or configure the wireless interface so it is properly secured.
4. Firewalls are not a replacement for adequate backups of data. (Firewalls don't protect against real fires, or burglars.) /faq/10194
5. Other security precautions still need to be taken. For example, operating systems and anti-virus software need to be properly installed, configured and updated.
6. There is no hardware or software you can install that will protect against massive amounts of traffic jamming your communications lines. "SPI firewalls" only protect against certain types of denial of service (DoS) attacks involving malformed packets, or protocol sequence violations and vulnerable software.
7. Historically, the original network firewalls did not do packet inspection. They were rule based, using tables of permitted IP addresses and ports. Packet inspection is not historically in the definition of firewalls.
8. The NAT firewall was a major advance. It limited inbound traffic based on the basic state of communications with the external IP address. Outbound traffic triggered permission for inbound traffic.
Internal packet inspection was the next advance, checking for malformed packets. SPI firewalls sometimes also incorporate a more detailed examination of the state of communications, often checking outbound traffic as well as inbound traffic.
However, currently (1Q2005) a common SPI firewall is usually little better at providing inbound firewall protection than a $60 NAT router. The "SPI" label is basically there for marketing purposes. To have effective better protection than an NAT router, one needs a high-end SPI firewall, typically costing over $150.
The next advance is firewall appliances. These add extensive virus scanning of network traffic to the features of SPI firewalls. Currently these cost over $700 and are aimed at offices and institutions.
Some NAT routers and SPI firewalls include parental and employee controls, limiting access times, and restricting certain sites. This FAQ is not considering that kind of protection.
9. This is basically how a pure many:1 NAT router works. M:1 is the kind of router commonly used for home and SOHO users to provide a connection for many local computers using one public IP address.
First, packet filtering is applied to eliminate malformed packets and selected other packets based on fixed rules. With ordinary NAT routers this is fairly basic filtering compared with purpose-built firewalls.
With outgoing packets, the NAT router substitutes its own IP address and one of its currently unused ephemeral ports (that is, ports > 1023) for the source IP address and ephemeral port the local computer used.
All this information is then recorded in a state table with a timestamp. Additional traffic will update the timestamp.
For an incoming packet, an attempt is made to map the source IP address and ephemeral port on the router that received the packet to an entry in the state table.
- If a match isn't found in the state table, the packet has nowhere to go, and is discarded.
- If a match is found, the state table entry is used to translate the routers IP address and port to the local computer's IP address and port, and the packet is routed to that local computer.
Both the local computer's local IP address and its source port are mapped, which allows multiple local computers to connect to the same remote server and have independent conversations.
The state table is only filled by outgoing traffic, which means inbound traffic cannot make it overflow.
Of course as with any program, there can be a bug in the implementation, but you can't be much more simple and failsafe than the M:1 NAT algorithm.
Simplicity and failsafe-ness are good features. The more lines of code, the greater the chance of a bug.
10. Port forwarding bypasses the state table and that source of protection provided by the NAT router. Port forwarding (on a pure NAT router) causes almost all traffic that arrives at a particular port to go to a particular local IP address. (Basic packet filtering is the only protection for the port.)
Trigger ports or UPnP should be used in preference to port forwarding when possible. For example use port triggering for UDP replies for Windows Media Player so the port forwarding is limited to the source IP that was contacted on the trigger port. The forwarding will time-out (terminate when it isn't being used) rather than being always-on.
You need to configure both the software's own options and the router's setup so that the ports used correspond. After you make the changes, use the software to make a connection, and then check your firewall/router logs to see that the UDP traffic is not being blocked.
Typically the trigger port is a TCP port used to establish and control communications. The triggered port is normally UDP and is used to receive large amounts of data with minimum overhead (with no overhead from "receipt verified" packets).
These port triggering settings are possible:
Real Player 7070 TCP is trigger for 6980-7000 UDP
Real Player 6970 TCP is trigger for 6980-7000 UDP
QuickTime 554 TCP is trigger for 6970-7000 UDP
BitTorrent 6969 TCP is trigger for 6881-6889 UDP
Windows Media Player 1755 TCP is trigger for 6980-7000 UDP
Remember, the settings in the router and the software must correspond. For example, you have to update your router, and you have to update your QuickTime options. If you cannot find the ports in the software's options, check the software maker's website for which ports it is set to use.
UPnP is also an alternative to port forwarding, but not all NAT routers and not all software are UPnP capable. The software uses UPnP to ask the router to open ports for its use. When the software shuts down, it asks the router to close those ports. This saves you having to configure the router and software with specific ports. A small downside of UPnP in its current form is that, if the program that opened the port crashes, the port is left open until you re-boot.
If you need instructions on UPnP, check your manuals and FAQs, and consult a search engine using UPnP and the program name, or UPnP and the router make, as search terms.
Trigger ports and UPnP are safer than port forwarding.
11. The DMZ should be totally avoided on most NAT routers.
A DMZ is not normally required, provided you know your software. Check the software vendor's website, or email their support area, or search here in BBR, to find out what ports you need to set as trigger ports for which ports, or which ports to forward.
If you really do need a DMZ, use a device that treats the computer in the DMZ as though it was an untrusted computer outside your local network. Ordinary NAT routers do not normally provide this type of DMZ; they normally just forward all unsolicited traffic to the machine in the DMZ, leaving it with no NAT protection.
(You can create the desired level of separation with 2 ordinary NAT routers, or with 1 NAT router and 1 hub, or 1 high-end NAT router or firewall.)
Here are some security testing sites: /faq/5503
Here is more on securing your home computer: /faq/8463
Here is more on securing a wireless router: /faq/8698
For discussion about your individual circumstances you can post a message in the BBR Security Forum here: /forum/security
Be sure to mention if you have unusual requirements, like offering "public servers", confidential client data, etc., how many computers you have, which operating systems, and so on.
If your network is high-value or a particularly attractive target, or if you are a business that depends on its computers, we recommend you also obtain the services of an IT professional to help plan and maintain your security.
* Here is the thread where the proposal for this FAQ was researched, discussed and refined. My thanks to all those who participated with me in developing this FAQ.
Recent Changes:
- Removed dead link to UPnP configuration instructions.
- Improved opinion of UPnP.
01 Jan 2006
- Kerio PFW is to be Sunbelt Kerio PFW.
- Clarified trigger port setup.
- MS Messenger can now easily do file transmission through an NAT router, so the old instructions have been removed.
01 May 2005
- Added caution to check that if the router is wireless, and to secure the wireless interface.
- Added NATP as a technical term for the kind of router being talked about.
(Thanks Doc Olds.)

Does anyone have any information about a town that existed in Rutherford County sometime in the 1800's - I believe the town was named Darlington. The story I have is that it was named after a much loved school teacher in the town who had the last name of Darling. The town was in the area where Gilkey is now. I know that in the town there was a grist mill, a stage coach stop and a general store/post office.
Thanks very much!

There are some people on my department that I know some pretty personal things about, and those are the people who don't try to keep their lives a secret. There are also people who come to the station, do their job and go home, and that's all I know of them. And to be honest, when it comes to some people, that's all I care to know. Someone once told me, "don't give them the ammunition they need to shoot at you with". If you don't want stuff known, keep a low profile. Keep home life at home, etc. Like was said before, it's happening EVERYWHERE, always has, always will.

It really pee's me off to sit and hear about my personal life all the time. It's always what I buy,where I'm going,Why I may be mad about something,real stupid stuff. I never ever pick on them for the stuff they do maybe I should quit. DFD132

No need to quit, you won't be happy. There is always a way to deal with the petty crap that goes on at the station, unless your upper echelon is participating in the game too. Maybe they are just doing it to get a rise out of you. Don't let your emotions come out. Once they see that it's not getting to you it won't be fun for them anymore, and they'll leave you alone. Give it some time, see what happens, and then decide your next course of action.
Take care, stay safe, & stay low!

If you look close into the background of the said person, you will normally find that they do this everywhere else as well. It's not just with you, but they take it with them into all sections of their lives. You get use to the different ways to handle them after a while and we have one on our unit. A real pain in the butt.

Hey DFD,
It's me again. Did you ever wonder why people pick on you? It's because you drive an old police car and you're crying about how your blue light isn't big enough and you should have a siren. That's why people pick on you. Look in the mirror, you might see that pain in the @$$.
For those of you reading this and wondering what the heck I'm talking about - just read the forum in this section titled "Blue Light's" by the same author. The word Stem Whacker might come to mind.
DFD - Have a nice day.

04-05-2001, 06:16 PM #13SFDE12Firehouse.com Guest
DFD132, welcome to the fire service! I guess you must be new due to the fact you actually seem bothered, or surprised by this. It's like that at every fire house and once a bigger "slapper" joins the'll pick on him more. Also crying about lights and sirens only fuels these guy to pry more.
04-05-2001, 08:43 PM #14DFD132Firehouse.com Guest
SFDE12 and KeithA8 you both can lick B---s cause I've been in the fire service for 10 years, I'm a 1st Lieut. As far as my Bluelight conplaining, I'm not the only one. Again there you guys go again sniffing eachothers fingers. Do me and all of us Real fireman us Volunteer's a favor and stop posting. Bluelight's are not the reason for me joining it's dedication, leadership something you career guys don't have cause your to busy waiting for a check. I ONLY MEAN THE ABOVE SAID TO THESE TWO CAREER WINDOWLICKERs, AND NOT TO THE HARDWORKING DEDICATED CAREER FIREMAN GODBLESS ALL OF YOU!! Smokeeater51 and engine58 thank you.

DFD... We have a TON of the rumor lovers around here. It's actually to the point where we've even jokingly assigned "ranks" to people in the "Rumor Mill." Honestly though, if you wanna have some fun with them, just mention something (true or untrue) about one of them in front of another one and see how far fetched it is when it comes back to you. We have one guy on that starts at least 1 rumor a day (some of which are pretty cruel), so a few of us decided to have some "fun" with the guy. It was mentioned that his car was seen at the firehouse at 3am along with the car of a younger attractive female member (we got her approval on this first). Two days later, his wife came in asking who knew anything about him filing for a divorce! All this within 48 hours! If only departmental memos got around that quick. I know this seems like a petty game but, hell, it was fun seeing him on the receiving end of a rumor for once.

Dude what's wrong? Waiting on a paycheck? Let me guess a few things about you. Your a frustrated young single male who can't find or hold on to a decent job. Women will not date you, people make fun of you, so you act out your fantasy's at the volunteer fire house. Large blue lamps mounted a top of the police car look alike. Numerious antenna's. Security guard employment. The FBI has a profile on guys like this. They are bed wetters,
crual to animals,
And set fires.
Dude get some help real soon. Jake

I'm going to be blunt, so if you wear your feelings on your shoulders, stop reading now.
You have been warned...
This happens everywhere in every occupation and volunteer organization. How many jobs have you had?
If this bothers you enough to post it here, you will never last in law enforcement much less around the fire station. And you'll just be a bitter old pain in the @#$ if you do.
Deal with it, get over it and move on or find a new hobby and line of work before you go nuts and hurt somebody.

A ten-year 1st Lt. who cannot spell, reason, makes obscene name-calling comebacks, and who does not know how to deal with personnel in the office?
That's scary! Also real embarrassing to the rest of us who care about our public presence on posts such as these which are viewed world-wide.
Are you sure you are not lying to us about that 1st Lt. and 10-years working thing?
Just too scary!

Ahhh, the sounds of kids bickering on a play ground??? I haven't been in grade school in a while and I don't have any kids but I think it would sounds similar to some of these replies.
Can we not just answer a question without attacking the individual?
DFD -- Accept the fact that the people you describe are everywhere. They are not a firehall issue, an issue with these forums, they are an issue in life itself. Anytime you spend a little bit of time with the same group of people, you will see one of these types rise to the surface. I find they seem to go away if they don't get the satisfaction of irritating the sh&t out of you. Remember the water off of a ducks back theory and I bet they go bother someone else.
However if you react like you did in one of the replies you posted here, you will be ridiculed forever. Let it go, laugh it off and deal with it. It appears you may need to grow a slightly tougher skin to do this, but don't quit or you will definitely be the one who loses and they will get the last laugh!
Stay Safe!

I usually ignore them, I'll work with them on scene and at drills but after that give them the cold shoulder. They never ask or try to find out my bussinees again, or the point blank approach. Tell them if it's not fire related you don't want to talk about it end of story and walk away. Sooner or later these old bitties will get the message and leave you alone.

Sometime around the year 1949, the eminent war correspondent and novelist Martha Gellhorn wrote the above letter from her home in Cuernavaca, Mexico to an Episcopalian clergyman's wife living in the small town of Alma, Michigan.HBO recently produced Hemingway and Gellhorn, starring Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen. The WSWS has a review, calling it a 'missed opportunity.' Gellhorn's play Love Goes to Press, set in Italy in 1944, is in a revival on Broadway
Both women were devoted writers of vivid missives. Gellhorn's pen pals included Eleanor Roosevelt, the editor Maxwell Perkins, H.G. Wells, her husband (later, ex-) Ernest Hemingway, and other luminaries. The housewife whom she was addressing, Peggy Schutze, nee Harvey, a native Kansan of pioneer stock, wrote mostly to her mother and sister. They came to know one another because Peggy (a.k.a. Nani Peg, my maternal grandmother) was a member of the St Louis League of Women Voters, which was run by Martha's mother Edna. Both Martha and Peggy were imaginatively terrible cooks and tore through stacks of paperback thrillers like addicts, but other than that they seemed to have little in common.
In a career that spanned six decades, Gellhorn covered wars in, among other places, China, Finland, Israel, Vietnam, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. Some of her pieces can devastate us anew. "Behind the barbed wire and the electric fence, the skeletons sat in the sun and searched themselves for lice," she wrote from Dachau in May 1945. Her words still sting; in another dispatch from a just-defeated Germany, she mocked the self-pity and denial of ordinary Germans: "I hid a Jew for six weeks. I hid a Jew for eight weeks. (I hid a Jew, he hid a Jew, all God's chillun hid Jews)."from the Guernica article. Not a lot of war reporting a long these lines anymore.

Ninth-ranked Georgia has already played a couple of top 10 opponents, and another will visit Athens next week.
If there was ever a chance for a letdown, this would be it.
Unheralded North Texas (2-1) is at Sanford Stadium on Saturday, facing a Georgia team that lost to No. 3 Clemson, beat then-No. 6 South Carolina and faces another crucial game against sixth-ranked LSU before the month is out.
The Georgia assistants have been pointing to Michigan's narrow victory over lowly Akron last weekend as evidence that no game is a lock. Head coach Mark Richt says his staff is doing a good job of pushing the team to keep getting better. He also says there's a lot of competition for playing time, which helps keep everyone on their toes.
