GOP leaders offer ŌĆśfiscal cliffŌĆÖ counterproposal
December 4, 2012 by Healthcare-NOW!
Filed under Single-Payer News
Would Raise Medicare's Eligibility Age to 67
By Lori Montgomery for the Washington Post –
House GOP leaders endorsed a debt-reduction plan Monday that would raise tax collections by $800 billion over the next decade, but they refused to budge on higher tax rates for the wealthy, the central issue dividing Republicans and Democrats.
In making a counteroffer to President Obama, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and other senior Republicans suggested that a framework laid out by Democrat Erskine Bowles last year could serve as a starting point for talks aimed at averting the year-end ŌĆ£fiscal cliff.ŌĆØ
That framework aims to raise new revenue through an overhaul of the tax code. It also calls for slicing $600 billion from federal health programs, in part by increasing the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67, and saving $200 billion by applying a less generous measure of inflation to all federal programs, including Social Security benefits, according to GOP aides.
For the first time, Boehner managed to get his entire leadership team ŌĆö including conservative champions such as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (Wis.), the 2012 vice-presidential candidate ŌĆö to publicly sign on to a plan that explicitly calls for new tax revenue. Republicans say they are willing to extract all the new tax money from households earning more than $250,000 a year, the same group Obama wants to target with higher tax rates. But the GOP plan would raise the money by wiping out deductions instead of raising rates.
In a meeting with reporters, Boehner called it ŌĆ£a credible plan that deserves serious consideration by the White House.ŌĆØ
But Democrats said the proposed cuts to social safety-net programs would outweigh higher taxes. And they said Republicans have not made clear how they would raise the additional tax revenue without imposing new burdens on the middle class.
ŌĆ£The Republican letter released today does not meet the test of balance. In fact, it actually promises to lower rates for the wealthy and sticks the middle class with the bill,ŌĆØ White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said in a statement. ŌĆ£Until the Republicans in Congress are willing to get serious about asking the wealthiest to pay slightly higher tax rates, we wonŌĆÖt be able to achieve a significant, balanced approach to reduce our deficit.ŌĆØ
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck fired back in a statement, ŌĆ£If the President is rejecting this middle ground offer, it is now his obligation to present a plan that can pass both chambers of Congress.ŌĆØ
In adopting the framework laid out by Bowles, a former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and more recently co-chairman of a bipartisan committee set up to tackle the national debt, the Republicans may have taken a step toward the middle. But Democrats ŌĆö including Bowles ŌĆö and independent budget analysts argued that the actual middle ground between the two parties has shifted dramatically since the November election, when Democrats made gains in both chambers of Congress and Obama held on to the White House after promising to raise taxes on the rich.

Karen Dietz's curator insight,
December 18, 2013 1:26 PM
I scooped this article because it's a great reminder with a very simple message -- drop the corporate speak; don't focus on pushing messages to folks; just show up, be real, and my addition: focus on story sharing. Stories aren't mentioned in this article, yet they are your vehicle to building trust, being authentic, conveying complex information with simple elegance, all while being humble. And this is what the article talks about. A lot of the storytelling articles I'm reading lately are still focused on using stories as a push technology to broadcast messages to people. That is old hat. We are now in another world where it is finally recognized that stories are a pull technology (they pull people into your world) AND that stories told evoke stories in the minds of listeners that they want to share back with you. So story sharing needs to be the focus these days. This article helps us get our head straight about that. It's a quick read with terrific insights and tips to share. Happy reading!

does yellow mean kevlar?
Posted by: toller on Nov-23-13 12:12 AM (EST) Category: Kayaks
I just bought an old current design solstice ss. On the inside it is yellow. Does that indicate kevlar? It was represented as fiberglass but iwonder about the color; seems rather cheesy to color it yellow if isn't kevlar.
Doesn't really matter, i got good price and don't expect to carry it very far; just curious.

As an Active Directory encompasses not only LDAP and Kerberos but also DNS and there are funny things Microsoft does with DNS (dynamic updates, special SRV records to locate hosts etc.), running Samba as an Active Directory domain controller means running either the built-in DNS server or bind9 with a special DLZ plugin.
dnsmasq integration has been discussed but seems to have been abandoned not so much for technical reasons than rather for lack of real interest on both sides. There is at least this HOWTO that works around the technical issues by teaching dnsmasq the necessary SRV records manually, but even then you won't have dynamic DNS updates the way Samba needs them and it is more of a hack definitely unsupported by the Samba team than a viable solution.
Running dnsmasq is feasible not so much as an alternative running on the Samba host itself, but, at least in my idea of SOHO networking, it's pre-destined for embedded devices such as access points and routers and accordingly the default DNS forwarder in OpenWrt. Having DNS resolution depend on a "higher-level" DNS service provided by Samba would contradict that concept. Apart from the fact that Samba's DNS server would require support for every single feature existing DNS servers (such as dnsmasq) already have — or bind be used, a software I do not really miss particularly much (think zone files).
Obviously I can't achieve the desired isolation of a basic network service such as DNS and a productive service such as Samba with a single DNS zone, as there is no such thing as zone sharing. So I'll need two DNS zones: mysite.foo.bar and either ad.mysite.foo.bar or mysite.ad.foo.bar. The latter choice would be preferable if we were to seriously use Active Directory features such as forests and sites but also mean that there would be a "parallel forest" of "conventional" DNS zones and the need to have a foo.bar DNS server that supports delegations. As Samba 4 currently supports running a single Active Directory domain controller only anyway, I'll go with the former:
DNS zone | Managed by | Running on |
mysite.foo.bar | dnsmasq | OpenWrt-based access point/router |
ad.mysite.foo.bar | Samba | "Real" server |
Now I do, of course, have only one DHCP service at my "site". Technically it could supply multiple DNS servers but you wouldn't want that since you can't control your clients' resolvers' behavior via DHCP (ie. when which DNS server is tried). And there's no need to, because here comes the elegant part: all clients continue to receive the IP address of an OpenWrt device as DNS server which is authoritative for mysite.foo.bar. Requests for *.ad.foo.bar simply get delegated to the Samba host with a dnsmasq configuration such as the following:
# Local dnsmasq instance is responsible for
# mysite.foo.bar
# DNS delegation for ad.mysite.foo.bar
# If rebind protection is on, this is
# required to avoid warnings on DNS
# rebinding attacks
# Upstream DNS server, handles everything
# outside ad.mysite.foo.bar and mysite.foo.bar
Note that having two DNS zones does not imply that you need to have two IP subnets. It's perfectly fine to have both baz.mysite.foo.bar and baz.ad.mysite.foo.bar point at 192.168.0.1 and have reverse lookup of the IP address resolve to baz.mysite.foo.bar, as long as you configure Kerberos client configuration accordingly (the rdns = false option described at the end of my sssd-ad configuration post).
This way, if the Samba server goes down, only the ad.mysite.foo.bar zone will be affected, not mysite.foo.bar as a whole. Neat :)
In my eyes, it makes sense to divide the elements that are part of a SOHO (small office/home office) network into one of two layers:
In this model, if I were to speak about "the network" I'd mean what I call the basic network: all components that in their togetherness constitute an independent, foundational layer cornered around connectivity and, by comparison, low complexity (ie. no full-blown operating system on each device). This includes the physical LAN cabling (if present), network switches, print servers (usually integrated into the printers), WLAN access points and routers.
Because nowadays it is often essential for system administrators to have Internet access, be it for googling on problems that pop up or for bootstrapping installations that download software directly from the 'Net (eg. in disaster recovery scenarios when no local mirror is present any more), I consider DNS and DHCP services to be essential enough to be part of the basic network as well.
With the advent of flash-based embedded devices such as WLAN access points and routers, the availability of OpenWrt as a standardized Linux distribution for these and the low resource consumption of DNS/DHCP, migration of these services from hard disk-based servers onto access points/routers became feasible. After all, an access point running on flash memory is much less likely to fail than a full-blown server with hard disks as storage. The only part I've seen failing over years with these devices is the $0.05 power supply.
The basic network is foundational in two ways: for one thing, it is independent, ie. can stand on its own. And the productive services layer, that encompasses more value-creating (to the end user) services such as File, Print and E-Mail services, is stacked upon it. No basic network, no productive services. And at the same time: no productive services, no real value in the basic network.
Formulating such a model helps in making up your own mind and communicating with others, eg. about the question where a service such as NTP should be placed. What do you think?
Following up on the previous post, here's how we get sssd to actually provide access to our Samba-driven Active Directory.
I started with the instructions in the Samba wiki but these actually go beyond the minimum that is necessary. Let me also add some context to the individual components and settings involved.
sssd is quite modular: if you read the sssd.conf man page, you'll learn about services and domains. You will also learn about different providers such as the already mentioned Active Directory provider that we are going to use. Do not be fooled however: providers are not mutually-exclusive. For example, our Active Directory provider works together with the LDAP and the Kerberos providers as shown here:
As a consequence, we'll have to consider not only sssd-ad configuration directives but also some of those of sssd-ldap and sssd-krb5. And, because sssd-krb5 uses the Kerberos library we'll also have to consider /etc/krb5.conf.
Without further ado, here's an example for a minimal /etc/sssd.conf that takes advantage of autodiscovery:
services=nss, pam
Setting id_provider and access_provider activates sssd-ad as identity provider (ie. the source for user and group information) and access provider (eg. checks if a user is allowed access). However it also activates it as authentication provider (ie. checks passwords) and chpass provider (ie. changes passwords), because id_provider's value is a default for auth_provider, which in turn is the default for chpass_provider.
We do not specify ad_domain because the default is to use the configuration section's name (minus the "domain/" part, of course). We do not specify ad_server either because Samba's DNS server has automagically set up SRV records for us that sssd-ad/ can use for service discovery.
I disabled dyndns_update for now because it gave me problems. Setting enumerate to true is debatable and recommended for small setups only, but you might want it for playing around with nested groups and see how they work. The default is false.
There's no need to specify any of ldap_uri, ldap_search_base, ldap_sasl_mech or ldap_sasl_authid, ldap_user_* and ldap_group_* — sssd-ad will have taken care of these parameters for you.
ldap_id_mapping is set to true so that sssd itself takes care of mapping Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs. Otherwise the Active Directory must be able to provide POSIX extensions. If yours does, you can omit this option, of course.
It is obligatory to specify krb5_realm, which, by convention, is always upper-case and in most cases will the DNS name of the Active directory. krb5_keytab specifies the keytab file sssd will use to connected to Samba's KDC (see also: What is a keytab file). The keytab file can be exported on the Samba server as per the Samba Wiki instructions.
Again, krb5_server, krb5_kpasswd will have already been provided by sssd-ad for you.
As you can see the net result is a much simpler configuration than with sssd-ldap and sssd-krb5 alone. Provided you've followed the other necessary steps, eg. PAM and NSS configuration (again, see eg. the Samba Wiki instructions), you can now try eg. getent passwd and should be able to see your Active Directory users.
I had a hard time to get everything working, receiving "GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (Server not found in Kerberos database)" error messages all the time. Some hints:
By the way, the only way to really debug such issues is either to run Wireshark or to look at Samba's logfiles — the client itself won't even tell you it does such things (reverse lookups and their results) if you strangle it.
Update 08.02.2014: It seems that krb5_realm is not strictly necessary. The krb5_ad provider will take care of that for you:
(Sat Feb 8 23:55:13 2014) [sssd[be[ad.mydomain.foo.bar]]] [ad_set_ad_id_options] (0x0100): Option krb5_realm set to AD.MYDOMAIN.FOO.BAR
In the past, we used to integrate Samba and "native" Linux users by using a single password backend, often LDAP:
This lead to several moments of pain, from the deficiencies surrounding group membership, the NIS and the rfc2307bis schema (see eg. here and here), over the need to define scripts to execute administrative actions such as adding users, to the not really particularly intuitive LDAP server setup in newer OpenLDAP versions.
Samba has for quite some time offered an alternative solution, by allowing for two separate user databases, the Linux passwd/shadow one and its own, and providing the Linux system with access to its user database through the combination of the winbind daemon and suitable PAM and NSS modules:
However, as I pointed out before, the Samba4 version of winbind currently lacks some important functionality.
Luckily, this Samba wiki page points out two alternatives (don't be fooled by this wiki page, which currently only one):
Note that nslcd/pam_ldap/nss_ldap is not PADL's now-considered dead pam_ldap / nss_ldap but a fork/rewrite. Even this one, however, draws controversy.
Yet, I found it hard to make a decision in the light of rather opinionated information on the Web and rather sparse information on the Samba Wiki. So I tried to come up with a comparison table myself, focussing on integration with Samba 4 and Active Directory features. Note that the table comes with a level of uncertainty, feel free to send me corrections.
sssd / pam_sss / nss_sss (1.11.3) | nslcd / pam_ldap / nss_ldap (0.9.2) | |
Supports unencrypted connections via plain LDAP? | Yes | Yes |
Supports encrypted connections via Kerberos? | Yes | Yes |
SASL required? | No | Yes |
Requires explicit Kerberos ticket renewal eg. through background k5start process? | No | Yes |
Retrieval of POSIX data (UID, GID, home directory, login shell) from a Active Directory provisioned with –rfc-2307 option | Optional (if AD provider is used), Required (if pure LDAP provider is used) | Required |
Separate backends for user/group information and authentication | Yes | No (but different LDAP sources) |
Host must be joined to the domain? | No (but advantageous in certain scenarios) | No |
Supports Site-based discovery? | Yes | No |
Supports Active Directory's Global Catalog? | Yes | No |
Can resolve Active Directory's global and universal groups? | Yes | No |
Can resolve group members from trusted domains? | Yes | No |
Leverages Active Directory's tokenGroups attribute? | Yes (also in addition to POSIX attributes) | No |
Offline authentication possible? | Yes | Yes? |
Latest release | 2013 | 2013 |
The conclusion: nslcd is a choice for pure LDAP authentication, for Active Directory scenarios one should go with sssd.
Unfortunately, my $distro still shipped with sssd 1.9.5 and you really do want 1.10 or newer because of added features in its Active Directory identity provider. While is it possible to access AD via pure LDAP and with or without Kerberos, you really should use the Active Directory provider because of the reasons given above. See also Jakub Hrozek's blog and his FreeIPA.org presentation for additional information on the new features.
So I built and packaged sssd (and Samba) myself — and it took me just a month…
Configuration of sssd for Active Directory will be continued in the next post.
Much has certainly already been said about Puppetforge. A year ago, we were promised at Puppetcamp Nuremburg that Puppetforge was likely to improve to a more usable level. But as of now, Puppetforge is much like Github: unless you already know where to look, what to take, you're pretty much left to your own, to trial and error. Puppetforge does not really help in making decisions on which modules to try. Yes, it is a central location to shop for Puppet modules. But it's more like a big DropBox.
Of course, other software artefacts have the same or worse problems. For example, there is no central location for C/C++ libraries, so you wouldn't even know where to begin looking safe for hoping to use the right Google keywords. Still, certain projects such as boost enjoy a certain popularity due to adoption by
known software projects or word of mouth. But the difference is: such libraries, enjoy a much different level of attention than any particular Puppet module. I'll have a hard time promoting my particular implementation of, say, a ntp module, when there are twenty others.
In "appstores", such as Google's Play store, there are facilities that can give at least some advice as to which apps are worth trying. There is a download count, but considered alone it does not indicate quality. After all nothing keeps larger groups of people from making poor decisions lemming-style. That's why customer reviews (hopefully) provide additional insights, although these could be subject of manipulations more or less easily.
Puppetforge has download counters, but it doesn't have a comment system. The only way to assess whether this or that module could be a better candidate is the download count and, as a special case possibly the author: Puppet modules published by Puppetlabs themselves might be considered official, popular, well-tested.
That, however, upon further proof stands as a mere assumption. And it leads me to a question that may sound stupid but inevitably comes to my mind:
Why is there no official Puppet modules distribution?
Basically, the Puppet download alone is pretty much useless until you augment it with Puppet modules. To do that, I can go to Puppetforge and make the experience described above. I fail to see the sense behind that.
Yes, I can see that, just because Puppet Labs puts their label on a module, it does not make it automatically better. But that's not the point, the same argument would hold true for modules published on Puppetforge, as well.
Shipping Puppet with a set of included, "default" Puppet modules would instead have a signaling effect. It would make clear on what code developers should focus, where patches for improvement should be made against. It is not so much about having the best solution. It is about stepping forward and filling a void that can seriously hinder Puppet adoption.
In a previous post, I was making a call for HomeOps, the application of DevOps principles to SOHO (small and home office) scenarios as well. I've listed a number of arguments. Here's another one.
You have been practising sort of a DevOps approach at home already since the very beginning.
Or to be more precise: while you may not have been exercising the professional tools and methods we have to come to associate with a DevOps mindset, you will have nevertheless applied the gap-bridging mindset.
This claim includes three aspects:
Let's begin with the second point. Trivially what you're doing at home is fulfilling the role of an Op. You might not have a dedicated monitoring system in place that sends you manager on your pager but you'll actually have a much more advanced monitoring instance that will ring on your mobile the very moment your file service goes down: your family. (Or, if we consider the SO in SOHO, your colleagues.) If you're reading this article, you're likely to be the one in charge to get that file storage back up running. If not for them, then out of your own interest. If that's not Ops, then what? Yes, you do not have the professional tools known from your employer, but as I set, I'm talking about the mindset.
And you've been a Dev. Still enjoying the traps of a distribution upgrade? I mentioned the example of Berkeley DB updates that required converting of on-disk databases, of course _after_ installing the new OS release. Ancient times, you say? Think about updating from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4.
These are examples that all require an intervention. Of course, in the event of n=1 servers, the ops guy in you might be tempted to do the necessary steps manually, in lieu of a "fire and forget" perspective. But then again, why would you have to do the same steps as thousands of other IT professionals? After all, the update pain is roughly the same. So why not let ONE of us, or more exactly the dev guy in one of us, do the work in a manner that can be reused by us all for collective advantage?
The last point is rather trivial, too. I don't know if you've delegated IT responsibility to members of your family or your office, but in all SOHO scenarios I've met there is exactly one guy proficient enough to handle all IT business. And that guy does not exactly divide himself between the dev half and the op half. The dev in him does not meet his goals if the dev in him does not meet his ones. For the very reason that their goals are, in the end, pretty much identical.
Actually, when I matured from my a young boy's perspective influenced by home computing to understanding the way business IT is structured, I've never really understood the divide between devs and ops that seems to dominate the corporate world. But then again, that must be due to someone who thought it would be benificial to divide responsibility.
We all have sort of gained some kind of experience in the IT world, in the way IT works and especially the way it doesn't work. As an IT professional following recent trends and developments (you do continously keep an eye on them, right?), you will certainly have learned about (or at least heard of) DevOps principles, an ever-growing call for a different mindset on development, operations and silos in companies in general.
Fostered by events such as the series of DevOpsDays conferences spreading around the world, the term "DevOps" has reached a state where it is not only widely misunderstood but also abused to a point where you have to be extra sceptical (a mere buzzword for HP, IBM products, an obscure job definition that distracts from the real challenge).
Many of us already live DevOps principles or at least parts of them if they're lucky enough to work in a sufficiently agile and wary organization, be it for rather common or specific reasons. Now one reason to especially justify the use of automation as but one DevOps ingredient will certainly be that, put casually, "there is no possible way we would have the time to rebuild this setup manually". The perseverative Cloud trend practically dictates a more rational approach. So far, so good.
But recently my home server died. That is, the machine at home running mail, file and print services. And guess what? There was no possible way that I had time to rebuild this setup manually!
This is a call for what I call "HomeOps" (in the abscence of a more useful name — HomeDevOps? SOHOOps?). With "HomeOps", I call for the extension of DevOps concepts to our home IT as far as possible.
Think about it: it is centuries ago that IT people had to deal with the management of IT entities at work only. The times where "Sysadmins" referred to "operating that mainframe at the company" and IT activities at home were limited to comparatively simple home computers are long, long gone.
Nowadays, professional IT staff effictively always deals with two, if not three networks at the same time:
For #1, we've learned to apply a DevOps mindset, automation tools, continous X concepts etc., as discussed above.
For #2, I'm not talking about a need for maintenance of mobile networks, I'm talking about the implications of using a Smartphone and the Apps on it. Ever tried to backup your Android phone's data? Luckily, Google can take care of the most important aspects such as phone numbers, calendar data etc. by promoting Cloud storage. If you trust Google, that is.
For #3, we do what? Face it:
These are, of course, just examples and some of them may apply to your home scenario, some not. In my case, for example, a NAS alone would not be enough, I run a NAS-like device but with an ordinary x86 Linux distribution. Which means it is just as much of an instance that needs management as your cloud VM no. 83424, except that you'd manage it manually. But why?
The key question is: why for heaven's sake should we do things differently at home?
Of course we know the answer: because the efforts necessary do not seem worth the advantages. And this is where I have come to the conclusion to disagree:
Yes, I probably won't go as far and set up a continous deployment toolchain at home (although one could even think about that). But I'm currently automating my home server with Puppet and I'll certainly blog more on my experiences in doing that. As well as the total "HomeOps" concept that slowly begins emerging before my eyes. Clearly with the goal of a home IT that can rise like a phoenix from its ashes.
I'm not saying this whole HomeOps idea is a "wooza brand new concept". Or "something big". Or "something different". I just find it useful to give things a name to talk and discuss about them.
Almost exactly a year ago the first official Samba 4 release saw the light of the world, bringing with it Active Directory Domain Controller support as one of its biggest merits. All relevant Windows APIs had been implemented, thus allowing for all user management to be done through Windows tools such as the "Active Directory Users and Computers" MMC console.
This does of course wake the appetite of moving all users into the AD and let the Linux system authenticate against it as well, a scenario that has been supported through the use of Samba's winbind for some time now.
As the new "samba" master binary coordinates the other daemons itself, there is no need to start winbindd manually any more. Editing /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows:
passwd: compat winbind
group: compat winbind
makes AD user accounts become visible to the system:
# getent passwd
vscan:x:65:487:Vscan account:/var/spool/amavis:/bin/false
fetchmail:x:486:2:mail retrieval daemon:/var/lib/fetchmail:/bin/false
Note how this output shows two things:
Unfortunately, this effectively makes Samba 4 (tested with version 4.1.2 to be precisely) currently quite unusable for the intended purpose.
The first issue has already been reported as Bugzilla #9780. For the second issue there are at least two tickets, Bugzilla #9839 and Bugzilla #9898. According to a comment in the former, the winbindd used in Samba 4 misses support for these placeholders and requires replacement by a combined (Samba 3/Samba 4) winbindd implementation. I do not know of any roadmap for that.
Three weeks ago I dared to flash the BIOS of my home server's Intel DQ77KB mainboard to address a number of smaller issues related to BIOS settings not being applied. Apart from the fact that anno 2013 Intel still requires you to create a bootable USB stick, a process still complicated enough it makes you wonder how companies seriously expect users to be able to master it, where other companies such as Asus have been including the flash utility as part of the BIOS itself for a long time: the flash utility indicated success but afterwards the board was dead as a brick. POST beep codes indicated memory trouble but neither changing memory modules nor clearing CMOS and trying the BIOS recovery facilities helped — the board was a case for technical service. Tough luck to have no mailsystem any more, especially if you have dental surgery scheduled the next day.
But here comes the real amusing part: despite Intel's announcement to only slowly exit desktop mainboard production, the DQ77KB was no longer available anywhere in Germany. Intel silently shut down everything so quick that a product of the current lineup faces supply problems as confirmed in Intel's forums and by commercial sourcers. In my eyes a shame for a leading technology company.
In my case I was forced to switch to the current Haswell generation because the market offers no other Thin Mini-ITX mainboards with 19V power supply and Q77 chipset. I went for the Asus Q87T mainboard, a decision I did not regret. I can only recommend this board — finally we begin to see some real advantages of an UEFI BIOS.

Eurovision 2014: Raunchy milk maids, giant hamster wheels and child abuse – the most memorable moments of the night
From milk maids to hamster wheels, there were a fair few moments from this year's song test that will go down in Eurovision history
Sunday 11 May 2014
It was a night of thrills and spills and plenty of weird performances and even weirder outfits.
The 59th Eurovision song contest at the B&W Halls in Copenhagen, Denmark saw 26 countries compete in the Grand Final, with Austria's Conchita Wurst winning with 290 points. The Netherlands and Sweden came second and third respectively.
Here are our top moments from the evening.
1. Conchita Wurst's wins the Eurovision song contest
The star of the night and now the "queen of Europe" won the hearts across the continent with her haunting ballad 'Rise Like A Phoenix'. Austria's entry, Conchita Wurst, was praised for her stirring performance on Twitter and even compared to Shirley Bassey for her Bond-esque song.
Conchita's acceptance speech is likely to have left some with teary eyes. As she accepted the Eurovision trophy, she said ""This is for all those who believe in the future of peace and freedom – you know who you are. You are unity and your are unstoppable."
2. Russia booed
Eurovision has always been political but it was even more so this year. While countries crossed the traditional political voting lines to crown Conchita Wurst the queen of the night, there was plenty of politics at play.
Given the current tensions and violence between Ukraine and Russia, there was much anger directed at the latter. When Russia "phoned in" to share the voting results for its nation, the audience could be heard loudly booing as the countries spokeswoman delivered its top points. The Russian entry, the identical Tolmachevy twins were also booed during their performance.
3. The Hungarian entry about child abuse
The Hungarian entry for this year's competition was always going to be controversial. Andras Kallay-Saunders's song 'Running' referred to the abuse suffered by one of his friends when they were children. It was moving performance and has undoubtedly shed light on the issue of child abuse and domestic violence.
4. Graham Norton's box
Who didn't love the moment when Eurovision cameramen burst into Graham Norton's box and covered him with ticker tape? The commentator who was sat in a tiny studio at the back of the auditorium was startled when Denmark decided to "bring Eurovision to him". Norton offered some excellent commentary on this year's competition and confirmed everyone's confusion at the China references – but we'll come to that.
5. China references
Was anyone left confused the hosts talking in Chinese? It seems that everyone was.
The half-time entertainment sought to clarify why Eurovision hosts Pilou Asbaek, Lise Ronne and Nikolaj Koppel kept talking about China and speaking in Chinese but we were none the wister by the end of it. The entertainment also included a song about the number 12 – it is the highest number of points that can be awarded, after all - that would have been perfect for Sesame Street.
6. The Polish entry featuring a group of raunchy milk girls
Each year there is always plenty of skimpy outfits and raunchy if cringeworthy performances. This year's prize for the most sexy-bizarre Eurovision entry goes to Poland's Donatan and Cleo with their song 'My Slowianie - We Are Slavic'. The women dressed in low-cut milk maid outfits paired with short tartan skirts suggestively churned butter and poured water in buckets as they threw come hither looks at the camera coupled with some lower lip biting. Miley Cyrus would be proud.
7. Ukraine's giant hamster wheel
You can't make this stuff up. The most impressive stage performance of the evening came from Ukraine's Mariya Yaremchuk with her song 'Tick Tock'. Ukraine kicked off the Eurovision with a man in a giant hamster wheel.
We're looking forward to more of the same next year.

Cilento Coast
Restaurants in Cilento Coast
Though the seafood is fresh and expertly prepared and the pizzas from the brick oven are quite good, you don't really come here for the fairly standard cuisine.
The namesake restaurant of Hotel Lo Scoglio da Tommaso, this family-owned trattoria serves locally inspired Mediterranean fare amid panoramic views of Nerano Bay.
Don't be fooled by the entrance, under a tunnel along the main coastal road: La Caravella has been one of the area's finest restaurants for nearly 50 years, a required culinary stop since Federico Fellini, Andy Warhol, and Jackie Kennedy put it on the map in the 1960s.
On a coast where the dining choices seem divided between pretentious, overpriced temples of haute cuisine and unmemorable restaurants with their pizza ovens aimed squarely at the tourist masses, it's refreshing to find a holdout like Da Barracca.
Positano's most stylish bar and restaurant serves freshly made, regionally sourced dishes—like fried ravioli with ricotta and mozzarella on a bed of fresh tomatoes—in a slick interior with floor cushions and a softly lit courtyard.
Located on a cliff in the small village of Montepertuso, this popular restaurant serves traditional, regional dishes with an emphasis on local ingredients.
It may have slipped a notch or two from its status of celebrity hot spot in the days of Bogie and Jackie O—admittedly it's now a bit of a tourist trap—but such a relentlessly friendly place is hard to resist.
The island's only Michelin-starred restaurant is in the Capri Palace Hotel. Dine on raw red shrimp with asparagus and apple salad followed by cuttlefish-ink ravioli.
Located in the village of Ponteromito and operating since 1908, this restaurant serves traditional, regional dishes. Homemade pasta dishes, like ricotta-stuffed ravioli topped with a walnut and mushroom sauce, are specialties.
The beachfront restaurant serves up delicious linguine alle vongole.
When Sophia Loren visited Sorrento recently, she insisted on eating at this no-frills restaurant, with simple wooden tables and plastic chairs on a portside deck that appears unaltered since the 1950's.
It may be located on the lower level of a ho-hum hotel, but the food that comes out of this diminutive kitchen is anything but.
The colorful osteria on the dirt road that leads to Punta Licosa serves delicious local favorites and organic fresh fish.
Just west of Capri's central "piazzetta," Da Giorgio restaurant operates out of the hotel of the same name, serving traditional island fare like linguine with redfish sauce, scialatielli with prawns, and beef fillet in a red wine sauce.
Don't be put off by the touristy effects (English menu; serenading guitar player). Try the tomato-filled ravioli in fish sauce, or the zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta. But be warned: portions are nouvelle (i.e., small).

Posted December 3, 2012 at 7:40PM
We have recently converted our garage which i will be living in. It is slightly our of reach for wireless and due to the fact i use desktops i decided to run a cable.
I got a Cat6 cable and 2 RG45 face plates and have run the cable. I used a cable tester and found a problem with one of the pairs which i resolved. It is wired as a straight through cable.
I confirmed that the terminations were successful with the cable tester however once i connect these to my PC and the router I get no connectivity. I have no idea why this would work through the cable tester but no with actual devices.
The PC connects fine with a direct cable or with power line adapters. Can anyone shed any light on why i might be experiencing these issues?
Thanks in advance,

If you happen to have a "crossover" network cable handy (which would normally be used when connecting two computers directly), try using that either between the router and one of the faceplates, or between the computer and a faceplate.

E Street Band's Nils Lofgren Excited to Start Bruce's Tour in Atlanta
Bruce Springsteen's tour is starting right here in Atlanta this Sunday night and Mara Davis had a chat with Nils Lofgren of Bruce's E Street Band.
[pullquote quote="There's a new confidence and appreciation and gratitude for being in a band that's still largely alive and playing great, because that's very rare." credit="Nils Lofgren"]His recently released solo album, Old School, features songs with titles like the "60 Is New 18," "Ain't Too Many of Us Left" and "Miss You Ray," about Ray Charles. Spending the last several years staying musically busy, touring with the E Street Band and playing solo acoustic shows put him in a good place to write songs from a 'warmed-up' place. "I was not musically rusty. I just took my time, wrote about 20 songs."
Looking at the big "6-0″ also influenced his work, but he still has excitement about new sounds, what might be coming around the corner. A few years ago, his wife gave him a lever harp, which he knew he could use to hang his clothes, or learn how to use it. "There's no race, as long as I'm on that road, no matter how slow I'm going, I'm finding a peace in that."
E Street Band's Nils LofgrenLofgren has also played in Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band as well as Neil Young's band but he'll mark 28 years in the E Street Band this May. On the road for 44 years, his six dogs give him dirty looks when they see the suitcases come out again. "That's rough, to leave home," he mused.
The shock of losing Danny Federici in 2008 and Clarence Clemons last year has brought the band together and has helped them "navigate the losses." "We're all grieving Clarence in our own way," he said. "There's a new confidence and appreciation and gratitude for being in a band that's still largely alive and playing great, because that's very rare."
Listen to Mara's whole interview with Nils below:
Nils said he loves playing Atlanta and is excited about coming. He used to play here back in the 70s at Alex Cooley's Ballroom and the Fox Theater, which at that time, was in the process of being saved. Looking forward to their show at Philips Arena, he said, "To walk in, and have it be our show, our audience, no TV and just getting to do our thing… it's an extraordinary blessing and opportunity for any musician and it's not lost on me — I'm gonna soak it up."
A huge fan of Jimmy Fallon, he loved the parody of "Whip My Hair" that Bruce did with Fallon. "I've never been on a TV show where it was more relaxed and the vibe was so conducive to music," Nils said about appearing on Fallon's show.
Bruce Springsteen Still RockingAbout the show coming up this weekend, he offered only hints of what to expect. "For the first time in history… we've got three and a half albums of new music that has never been incorporated in a show… it's a massive amount of tools now." The show evolves all the time, songs come and go as they tour. So it's hard to know what to expect. "[Bruce] never follows a set list.. and he'll call out surprises… and he's not doing it to stump the band, he just gets inspired."
"I don't think anyone likes leaving home anymore…" he said, referring to today's audiences. "It's such a pain in the neck, babysitters, rent-a-car… so when all those people get into that building expecting something special, it makes you realize there's an opportunity there and you want to make the most of it, and I've never seen anyone take more advantage of that than Bruce and the E Street band."

This book tries to cover all aspects of blogging, from a bit of history, through creating and managing a small personal journal, to using blog technology as a corporate marketing tool. Along the way it covers an interesting variety of hints, tips and suggestions on how to make a blog look stylish, how to draw more visitors, and so on. It even covers an overview of using and writing blog-related applications and some thoughts about what might come next.
This book does well at communicating the excitement of blogging. If you are not raring to have a go by the end of the book, you're probably not cut out for life on the web. But beware, The world of blogging is astonishingly fast moving and fashion-conscious, so a book such as this can very quickly loose its cutting edge.
The main limitation of this book is the way it concentrates so much on one blogging system (Blogger), and assumes a particular way of working. On the up-side, the system it describes is probably the most popular, but that can so easily change.
If you would like to run a blog using the Blogger software or the Blog*Spot hosting service, and want to really get the most out of it, this is a great book. If you might be interested in other software and approaches, it's less vital, but still contains a lot of useful and interesting material.
