If you need advice about hot tubs at the Great Big Texas Home Show this weekend at the Fort Worth Convention Center, maybe you should seek out celebrity guest Jillian Harris.She was TV's Bachelorette in 2009. That reality show -- and the frequent waterlogged dates she went on -- made her something of a hot tub authority."It's true," Harris says. "When you're on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, you end up knowing a lot about hot tubs. But it has been a while. I'm getting rusty on that particular subject."Actually, Harris is better equipped to advise people about interior space and color schemes.She was a designer before becoming a reality show personality, after all.Since appearing on The Bachelorette, Harris has worked as a designer on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and hosted such shows as Canada's Next Handyman and Love It or List It: Vancouver.She will speak on the Lifestyle Stage at the Great Big Texas Home Show at 1 and 3 p.m. Saturday. Other celebrity presenters at the show include Christopher Straub of Project Runway Season 6 and Kelly LaPlante of HGTV's Design Wars.Harris' design philosophy involves personalizing one's living space."Anybody can make a space beautiful," she points out. "Heck, just get a catalog and order everything that's on display and your space will be beautiful and current. But how do you get somebody to walk into a room and make their heart go pitter-patter?"To do that, you have to figure out what the client loves most of all. What makes them happy? Where is their favorite place to travel? What is the one thing they own that they couldn't live without?"Make it yoursHarris has found that many people, surprisingly, keep their favorite things practically hidden away. She advises people to showcase their personal treasures."Like, your favorite recipe might be from your great-great-grandma, and that piece of paper might be kept in a cupboard somewhere out of sight," she says. "It might be yellowed. It might have oil stains on it. It's probably falling apart."My recommendation is, instead of keeping it tucked away in a drawer, why don't you frame it and put it on the wall? It can replace that stereotypical picture of a Bartlett pear that has no meaning to you."Here's another example:"My grandpa used to give my grandma fur coats," Harris says. "When he died, my grandma was going to give them away, because they didn't fit her any more. Instead, we had those jackets turned into a teddy bear. Today, it's one of the things in my home that I couldn't live without."When you start to think this way, all of a sudden you've got something in your space that's not just current and hip and beautiful, but it's also original, one-of-a-kind and a conversation piece."It's exciting to have something in the room where somebody says, 'Well, that's interesting. Where did you find that?' Being able to tell a story about something in your home is very valuable."Of course, if you prefer to ask Harris questions about The Bachelorette, she'll be happy to oblige."People seem to recognize me a lot more now because of my design efforts, which is great," she says. "But I don't think I'll ever completely live down The Bachelorette."What people saw on The Bachelorette, she says, was essentially the real her."The truth is there are very few reality shows that are 100 percent real," Harris says. "It's more like this: If you took the craziest moments of your life, the moments where you cried, the moments where you're mad, the moments where you're sad, and if you compiled all those moments, then deleted all the boring moments, when you [lay] in bed all afternoon or stood in line for coffee."

Good Luck Nick.
That's actually a good idea, let me give that a try, thanks!
Good Luck Nick.
Thats odd - I had the same thing happen on my exchange box on svr 08 this afternoon too. The only difference was mine was a physical not a virtual box. Same behavior tho - can get out of it to other devices, but not to it from others. Firewall showing as off. Attempting to shut the box down crashed it, so needed hard off (which always bothers me esp with exchange!!)
After a very long boot up and services start - it eventually came back online, but something funny is goin on....
Now that sheds some daunting light onto the situation.
We had this problem with a few of our servers a couple of weeks ago... But they were 2003.... but to solve it we uninstalled TCPIP...
Start - Run - CMD -
You may want to try this..Code:netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
In case any of you are interested, this is the response from Microsoft so far (which haven't fixed the problem) but may help some of you if you have the same problem:
Code:Please run the following commands, one at a time, from an Administrative Command Prompt: reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile" /f reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile" /f rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf netsh.exe firewall reset
This is the 2nd Email from Microsoft, also didn't help solve the problem:
Code:The network connectivity issue could also be caused by Scalable Network Pack Features (Task Offloading, Receive Side Scaling, etc). Please do the following on the server to disable the SNP features, and increase the number of available ports: 1.) Select and Copy the text in the block below: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] "EnableWsd"=dword:00000000 "DisableTaskOffload"=dword:00000001 "DisableLargeSendOffload"=dword:00000001 "EnableTCPChimney"=dword:00000000 "EnableRSS"=dword:00000000 "EnableTCPA"=dword:00000000 "TcpTimedWaitDelay"=dword:0000001e "MaxUserPort"=dword:0000fffe "SackOpts"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters] "MaxFreeConnections"=dword:00000064 "MinFreeConnections"=dword:00000020 2.) Open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad). 3.) In Notepad, click Edit, click Paste. 4.) Click File, click Save As, type in DisableSNP.reg as the Filename, select All Files (*.*) as the File Type, select Desktop as the Destination, click Save. Exit Notepad. 5.) Double-click the DisableSNP.reg file to merge the changes and update the registry. 6.) Restart the server for the changes to take effect.
Have you tried changing the network adapter from the Hyper V one to a Legacy Network Adapter and see if that makes any difference? encase there's a problem between the driver for the NIC and the updates?
Just as an aside have you tried running a virus scan on the server? A lot of them muck around with network/firewall settings these days.
Next update from Microsoft:
Obviously I am unable to ping the NetBIOS name or IP address.Code:Have you tried to ping the NetBIOS name and the IP of the server from another computer? What is the response you get from the ping? (time-out, host cannot be found, etc) Please run netstat -ano > netstat.txt && netstat.txt from an Administrative Command Prompt, and then save and attach the text file that opens in Notepad, back to me for analysis.
I did the netstat -ano command and sent them the results.
The next update was:
1. Yes I did, F-Secure is running as AV only, not firewall, but tried anywayCode:Please also let me know the following: - Have you tried disabling F-Secure Anti-Virus and test? - When was the last time you were successfully able to ping DCSERVER-01 from another computer? - What is the output when you run net view \\DCSERVER-01 from Command Prompt on another machine?
2. Before it restarted to finish installing updates
3. The Network Path was not found.
Not that it will help much in fixing it but if you use IPv6 can you connect to the Machine? therefore isolating it to the IP stack?

Thomas Linley was born in Bath on 7 May 1756, the son of a harpsichordist, composer and singing teacher. Thomas Linley senior played a prominent role in Baths musical life and introduced members of his prodigiously talented family to the public at an early age. Elizabeth Ann (b1754), Mary (b1758) and Maria (b1763) were accomplished singers and actresses in their early teens, while Samuel (b1760) was a talented oboist before becoming a sailor. Thomas junior was playing violin concertos at the age of seven and was an experienced composer before he went to Italy to study with Nardini (where he met Mozart, his exact contemporary). Thomas returned to England in 1771 and quickly became a leading figure in Londons musical life, helped by his fathers appointments as leader of the Drury Lane orchestra (1773) and musical director of the theatre (1774).
Thomas junior wrote some remarkable music over the next few years, including a large-scale orchestral anthem for the Three Choirs Festival, the oratorio The Song of Moses, the Lyric Ode on the Fairies, Aerial Beings and Witches of Shakespeare (available on Helios CDH55253), and music for Sheridans play The Duenna. Not surprisingly, his death in a boating accident on 5 August 1778 at the age of twenty-two came as a considerable shock to English musicians. As The Morning Chronicle put it, This accident has deprived the profession to which he belonged of one of its principal ornaments, and society of a very accomplished and valuable member. Thomass death was only the first act of an unfolding tragedy: Samuel caught a fever on board ship and died later the same year, while Maria, Mary and Elizabeth Ann succumbed to consumption in 1784, 1787 and 1792 respectively. Thomas senior followed them in November 1795, the victim, it is said, of a broken heart.
The earliest music on this recording is the cantata In yonder grove. Like the other cantatas recorded here, it survives only in The Posthumous Vocal Works of Mr. Linley and Mr. T. Linley, published by his mother around 1800. It is not made clear in the volume whether the work was written by the father or the son, but a report in The Morning Chronicle tells us that it was performed at Thomas juniors benefit concert in the Haymarket Theatre on 12 March 1773, that Elizabeth Linley sang divinely, and that the words flowed from her own pen. It was her last public appearance: she married Richard Brinsley Sheridan the following morning. To be honest, the words barely make sense, but the music is extraordinarily imaginative and accomplished for a sixteen-year-old. The work is modelled on the type of orchestral cantata that Thomas Arne popularized in the London pleasure gardens, though the delicious scoring of the first air owes something to Handel (the air with violin and cello obbligato in LAllegro), while the second is the first of a long line of delightful Linley airs in rondeau form. The obbligato oboe part, still relatively simple, was presumably written for the twelve-year-old Samuel.
Ye nymphs of Albions beauty-blooming isle cannot be dated exactly and it is not attributed definitely to Thomas junior in The Posthumous Vocal Works, though it must be by him and was probably written a year or two later. The text is a little better, though its laboured and long-winded sentences suggest that Elizabeth Linley was also its author, and the concluding rondeau requires considerable virtuosity from both singer and oboist. The music, too, is more sophisticated and original and begins with a musical sunrise, a sensuous pre-Romantic evocation of nature; for perhaps the first time in English music the horn is used to portray the natural world at peace rather than the activity of the hunt.
In Darthula the setting is dark-ages Scotland rather than the debased eighteenth-century version of the world of Classical myth. The text is adapted from Dar-thula a Poem, published by James Macpherson in his 1765 edition of The Works of Ossian the Son of Fingal. We now know that Ossians remarkable prose-poems are largely by Macpherson rather than by a Celtic bard, but at the time they caused a sensation and inspired much of the literature of the early Romantic movement, particularly in Germany where they were set by Schubert, Loewe and others; Linley may well have been the first English composer to set Ossian. According to Macphersons argument, Darthula (or Deidre) was the lover of Nathos, one of the three sons of Usnoth, Lord of Etha (in modern Argyll) who had successfully campaigned in Ireland against the usurper Cairbar. However, a storm rising at sea they were unfortunately driven back on that part of the coast of Ulster where Caibar was encamped with his army. The three brothers, having defended themselves for some time with great bravery, were overpowered and slain, and the unfortunate Dar-thula killed herself upon the body of her beloved Nathos. Linleys cantata is on a large scale, with three contrasted airs, the first in the scotch taste, the second a heroic da capo number in an exciting mixture of Handelian and galant styles, the third a touching minuet in rondeau form evoking the dawn.
Sheridans play The Duenna was first performed at Covent Garden on 21 November 1775 and was one of the most successful English operas; it held the stage all over Britain until the 1840s. Thomas Linley and his father worked on the music together, orchestrating and arranging some of the airs, and composing others from scratch. The three-movement overture is a spirited essay in the galant manner of J C Bach, though it has some individual touches. The plangent slow movement is scored for wind instruments alone, and the beautifully scored bagpipe-like passages in the final rondeau are perhaps intended to evoke the Spanish setting of the play.
Thomas Linleys music for The Tempest was written for a revival of the play at Drury Lane on 4 January 1777. No copy of the text is known to survive but it seems that the main innovations were to replace the overture and Shakespeares first scene with an extended storm chorus, and to provide Ariel with a brilliant air, O bid your faithful Ariel fly, on his first appearance in Act I; the words for both were probably provided by Sheridan, who oversaw the production. Elsewhere, Sheridan seems to have retained most of the established music for the play (a mixture of the early eighteenth-century score then attributed to Purcell and now thought to be by his pupil John Weldon, and that written by Thomas Arne in 1746). Linley retained Arnes famous setting of Where the bee sucks, but added a chorus, cunningly adapting and orchestrating material from a glee version of the song, published by William Jackson in his Op 11 (c1775). He replaced Arnes settings of Come unto these yellow sands, While you here do sleeping lie and Ere you can say Come and Go probably because Arne never published them and they were therefore unavailable. Shakespeares chorus Hark, hark, the watch-dogs bark was included in earlier settings of Come unto these yellow sands, but Linley gave it an independent setting in a different key (D major instead of B flat), so it is likely that Sheridan made a change to the play that required it to be separated from the song. The barking of the watch-dogs and the strains of Chanticleer are amusingly rendered in the orchestra.
The late Roger Fiske wrote that Linleys storm chorus is one of the most remarkable achievements in English music, and it is hard to disagree with him. It is laid out on the largest scale, with brilliantly assured and forward-looking orchestral writing supporting characteristically pure and conservative choral writing. One wonders whether Haydn knew it and had it in mind when he wrote his chorus The Storm for a concert in London in February 1792. The two pieces have the same shape (stormcalmstormcalm) and the same majestic sweep. Linleys early death was a tragedy for English music, as Mozart recognized. He told Michael Kelly in 1784 that Linley was a true genius who had he lived, would have been one of the greatest ornaments of the musical world.

- Written by Christopher Fox Graham
- June 26th, 2014
The Supreme Court of the United States entered the 21st century on Wednesday, June 25, with a unanimous ruling on two cases involving cellular phones and privacy.
The court essentially ruled that the information stored on a cell phone or other portable electronic device is protected by the Fourth Amendment, which forbids unreasonable searches and seizures and requires police to obtain a search warrant from a judge before searching private property for criminal activity.
Police have long had the authority to search a suspect for contraband like guns or drugs, but searching cell phones has been in a gray area.
Is a phone protected from warrantless searches, like a car, email or a home?
The justices looked at two cases, Riley v. California and United States v. Wurie. In the Riley case, police stopped a driver for expired registration and discovered both a suspended license and loaded guns in the car.
Without a warrant, police searched the driver's cell phone and found photos suggesting gang activity. In the Wurie case, police searched two cell phones of a suspected drug dealer, used a stored phone number to locate the suspect's home address, then obtained a warrant and searched it, finding more drugs.
The question before the court was not whether these suspects might be guilty of committing other crimes, but whether their privacy was protected from unreasonable searches by the government. Conservative and liberal justices agreed 9-0 that the right to privacy written by the Founding Fathers in 1789 does indeed extend to then-inconceivable technology like cell phones and smart phones.
The information that can be stored on cell phone isn't like the simple phone records of old landlines, but allows unfettered access to a person's email, bank records, personal photos and social media networks. A person's life can be found on a portable device, and the privacy of that device is protected from warrantless government searches.
The ruling makes clear that if a police officer or government agent asks, "Can I see your cell phone?" a person should respond, "Can I see your warrant?"
What makes these cases somewhat unusual is the unanimity of the ruling. Generally if a case looks to be unanimous, the court will pass and let the lower court's ruling stand, but the justices took on these cases.
Lawsuits against the National Security Agency's eavesdropping on Americans — revealed by Edward Snowden — are working their way up through the courts and some legal scholars suggest this ruling — and its unanimity — will give the justices relevant case law to strike down the NSA's program or at least its scale and protect Americans' privacy from much broader searches by the government.
"We cannot deny that our decision today will have an impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the court's opinion. "Privacy comes at a cost."
The privacy of all Americans is at risk if the privacy of one American can be violated.
