Compare VersionsInstalling RHEL 5 Server
updated Sep 5, 2007 6:01 pm | 33,624 views
Revision as of 04:24, 17 July 2007IntroductionThe purpose of THIS document is to demonstrate the installation of RHEL 5 Server and Client in a network environment and to demonstrate and prepare for the RHEL 5 RHCE and RHCT Exams. I have previously taken the RHCE exam for RHEL 4, passing the RHCT element with out issue. The RHCE component of the exam set I bombed in a bad and hard way. To prepare myself for the next test I am building this example network. The documentation included here in can be used to install and configure RHEL for most purposes if used as example rather than turn-key sampling. This is my network, your mileage will and probably should vary. This environment was built in a VMWare Workstation environment. ImagesWith the RHEL 5 installation trees and ISO images, RedHat is using 'Installation Numbers' to assist the installer with optimizing the installation choices for software. To do this, the Installation Number (a 16 character hexdecimal string), guides the installer to include those components that match the user's RHN Subscription. This will also automate the subscription of this machine into the correct/recommended channels. It may also be used by RedHat Tech Support to insure customer compliance to the subscription and identification when reporting an incident. The Installation Number is NOT mandatory.The user has the option to skip entering the number or override it in the kickstart file. The installer will then only offer the core elements to be installed. Items such as Virtualization and Clustering will not be offered for automated install. Additional information abotu Installation Numbers can be found at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_8967.shtm
Below is a suggested partioning table specifically for the RHCE study program I am working on. A special note on the LVM Volume Group. I assigned 100MB od space to 4 LVM's then combined 50MB of each LVM. This will permit the modification of the Volume Group to add and remove space.

In our latest episode of 18 Shots Presented by Titleist, Mark demonstrates the proper technique for hitting the power draw and how to use the tee box to your advantage. He also provides some great insight into the role that target line, swing path and club face play in ball flight.

It was a Sunday to remember for Titleist Brand Ambassador Tim Clark as he authored a near perfect final stretch where he carded birdies on five of the final nine holes to come from behind and win the RBC Canadian Open.
On his way to the win, Tim trusted his Pro V1 golf ball and Titleist 913D2 driver to lead the field in driving accuracy by hitting 83.93% of fairways. The win also marked his second career PGA Tour title and moves him up 58 spots in the FedExCup Standings.
Let's take a closer look at the Titleist equipment Tim trusted en route to his victory this weekend...
What's in Tim's Bag?
Golf Ball: Pro V1Driver: Titleist 913 D3 (9.5º) with Accra M4 55 shaftFairway Wood: Titleist 913 F.d (18º) with Fujikura Motore VC 7.2 Tour Spec shaftIrons: Titleist 714 CB (4-9) with Aerotech I 95 (S) shaftsWedges: Vokey Design Spin Milled SM4 48.06, SM4 56.14, SM5 60.08 with Dynamic Gold S400 shafts. Std. Length, .5 degrees flat
Congratulations, Tim!
Titleist Brand Ambassador Tim Clark rallied to win the RBC Canadian Open by one shot after birdieing five of his last eight holes. It marked the second career PGA TOUR title for Clark, who fired four consecutive rounds in the 60's, including a closing 5-under par 65.
On the Champions Tour, Pro V1 golf ball loyalist Bernhard Langer won his second Senior Open Championship, finishing a record 13 strokes clear of his nearest competitor. Langer's 13-shot win is the largest margin of victory in a senior major, topping the previous mark of 12 shots established at the Senior PGA Championship in 1997.
To round out the week, Titleist Brand Ambassador Jean Hugo captured the Vodacom Origins of Golf - Arabella tournament for his 16th career Sunshine Tour title.
With three more wins this week, Titleist's year-to-date victory count advances to 101. That's more than four times the nearest competitor with 23 and more than all competitors combined.
In total, 14,409 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in competition on the 2014 worldwide professional tours, more than six times the nearest competitor with 2,310 and more than all competitors combined.
THE TITLEIST LEADERBOARD | WEEK ENDING July 27, 2014
Posted: July 25, 2014
This week's stop on the PGA Tour brings us to the vibrant city of Montreal for the RBC Canadian Open. Players will be looking to take on the challenging and historic Royal Montreal Golf Club to claim one of the oldest championships on the PGA Tour.
With the race to the FedEx Cup heating up and valuable points on the line, Titleist is once again the overwhelming golf ball of choice with 90 players in the field trusting a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success. That's more than 4 times the nearest competitor with 22 and more than all competitors combined.
Titleist was also the top choice among players in the sand, lob and approach wedge (138) and putter (53) categories.
Fast Fact: The Canadian Open is the third oldest continually-running tournament on the PGA Tour, after the Open Championship and US Open.

9 year old Millie has some difficult questions for her parents to answer
OT Shorts will be one chapter stories that I happen to think up when I am not working on any on-going series. Please comment on any OT Shorts that you would like to see turn into series and I will try to make it happen. Remember, I only get limited time to write these stories, so please be patient. Thank you for reading!
If you had asked me how I felt my life was doing right now, I would tell you I was on top of the world. At 35 I had a high paying work-from-home job, a gorgeous wife and a beautiful nine year old daughter. I worked for three hours each day, and spent the rest of my time with my family. Even though my wife Rebecca and I had been married for 13 years, we still carried on like newlyweds both in and out of the bedroom and I felt our love for each other had never been stronger. The three of us lived in an upper-class suburb, and tall fences kept peeping toms from looking into our backyard and swimming pool, much to our satisfaction. Both Rebecca and I had met at a nude beach, and while we wore clothes around the house like normal people do, we just could not give up swimming naked like we always have, not even when our little girl Millie came along.
Millie is my pride and joy. Beautiful like her mother, she's slightly tall for her age and while she isn't chubby, she isn't skinny like a rake either, and every time we hugged I always marvel at how wonderfully soft and cuddly her body is. She eyes are a light shade of blue, and they shine like the sky when light catches them. She has a round face and plump cherry lips, and all of her features radiate happiness when she smiles at me. Which is a lot. We have always been cuddly and close, Millie picking up on mine and Rebecca's attitudes towards love and affection. Millie always did well at school and was easily the most popular kid in the class. Even at ten she tells us that boys are always asking her to be their girlfriend, and when I asked her which boy she would have dated she threw her pillow at me, jumping up and wrestling my upper torso down onto her bed.
"I'm never going out with any of the boys from my school, boys are lame!"
When Millie turned 9 her mother and I decided to have the sex talk with her. Some might say we were a little early in teaching her but to them I offer this simple warning: Get to your children before the internet does! My case in point being that she came to me about this creep online only 3 weeks after we had the talk. Apparently he had just started sending sex videos and images to her blog on Tumblr, and was trying to have cyber-sex with her. I thought it would simply be a matter of blocking and reporting the user, but later that night while Rebecca and I were reading, Millie knocked on our door and slowly entered, ready for bed in her purple pyjamas, her hair still wet from her shower. "Umm, sorry to bother you guys, but I was wondering if we could talk for a bit?"
Bec and I put our books away and watched her as she got on her knees at the end of the bed. "I wasn't going to tell you guys this, but I actually clicked on a couple of the links and videos that that guy was sending me... aaaand uuuh, I saw some things that didn't look right.... I was wondering if you guys could explain them to me?" Bec and I looked at each other nervously before I answered.
"Of course sweetheart! Thank you for telling us that you clicked on those links, that was very brave. Now, let's see..... Umm, what did you actually see?"
"Well, you told me about how guys "masturbate" by rubbing their penis when it's hard, and that's what this old man was doing, until this young girl about my age appeared on-screen and put the head of his penis into her mouth. Why would she do that? Doesn't his pee and sperm come out of there? Yuck! Then he started grunting and pulled it out of her mouth and pointed it at her face, and his sperm came out all over her. It looked disgusting! Why would someone do that? I thought you said that kids don't start doing sex stuff until they're a lot older than I am?" She looked at us, confused and blushing a little, obviously from talking about this stuff in such graphic detail. Her mother and I just looked at each other, shocked. "I can't believe that bastard showed her child pornography! If I ever meet the prick in real life I'll smash his teeth in!"
"Daniel honey, calm down." My wife beckoned Millie to come up closer, and our little girl complied, lying on the other side of Bec and resting her head on her mothers shoulder while Bec stroked her cheek. "Millie darling, there's no other way to explain this, so I'll just be blunt. That girl you saw, either she was being forced to do it or she had been introduced to sex too early and now she found it normal. Unfortunately there are a lot of evil people out there who take advantage of young kids, seducing them or taking them by force, and then subjecting them to indecent sexual acts."
"Hmmmmm...... But mum, the girl in the video didn't look like she was being forced. She was moaning and smiling up at the man, kissing his penis like she was in love with it. When he came on her face she squealed happily and grinned at the camera. I know kids at school who have it rough but pretend to be happy, and that girl was not pretending, she was genuinely happy. He was making lots of noises too, groaning and gasping a lot. Why would a guy like having his penis sucked on by a young girl?" Millie was looking at me, and I knew she could see how red my face was getting. I didn't really want to have this conversation with my daughter, frankly I never thought I'd ever hear a 9 year old talk about hardcore stuff like this! but we have always been honest and open to her and I didn't want her to think that she couldn't talk to us about anything. "Umm, maybe you should explain it to her Bec?" My wife took the hint and turned on her side facing our daughter. "Well darling, it feels really good to boys when their penis is being touched by something wet and warm. It's kind of like when someone else is rubbing suntan lotion into your skin, because it's wet and slimy it slides across the skin more easily. I don't think you'll find a single boy out there who doesn't like having his knob polished!" They both giggled a bit to each other while I sat there immobile like a statue, hoping that my instincts weren't correct and Millie wasn't about to ask me- "Wait, does that mean you like to have your penis sucked on Dad?"
I splutter and sit up, my voice actually breaking as I struggle to reply. "Umm, w-well, yes I do honey." She climbed over her mum and sat cross-legged in front of me, her head tilting slightly to the side as she looked at me curiously. I've always adored Millie's beautiful features and her long, jet-black hair, but in this current setting, with the way that both me and my daughter were both blushing and the way my heart was beating, my brain was interpreting the suspense in the air as sexual tension. Soon I was rock-hard under the blanket and my loins ached from this sudden rush of horniness. I cursed my wild libido and focused on what my daughter was asking me. "What does it feel like? Do you prefer to have sex or get your penis sucked?"
"W-well, personally I would say sex feels better because you are both getting physical pleasure, but having a ...mouth on your penis can really feel amazing. I don't really know how to describe it."
"I think I can help dear" Rebecca interrupts. Millie turns around to face her mother. "Do you remember when I talked to you about your kitty and how it has a little button at the top called a clit? Have you played with it at all since we talked about it?" Millie's face grew crimson red and she turned her head away from me, and slowly nodded. "Did it feel good?" More nods. "Let me show you something." Bec positioned Millie so that she was in the centre of the bed facing us, and slowly pushed her back until she was lying down. Then, she quickly pulled down her daughters pyjama pants and knickers before either of us could react. "Whoa, Bec what are you doing?!"
"Calm down Daniel, everything's fine." I sat there, watching my wife spread our daughters legs, causing her cute pussy lips to spread ever so slightly. "Now Millie, I want you to touch yourself. Don't worry about us, we're your parents, we just want you to get as much enjoyment out of sex as possible." I was completely lost at this stage, incapable of comprehending what Bec was trying to do here. I could see that Millie looked just as lost as I was, but even though she was glowing with embarrassment, her right hand slowly trailed down her body until it rested lightly on her mound. She slowly dipped a finger in and rubbed where her clit was hiding, causing her to slowly arch and moan. Her eyes caught mine and her face flushed a deeper crimson, but she didn't stop looking at me, staring into my eyes and whimpering. Her mother starts to talk and Millie's head whips around to face her, looking guilty like she was doing something wrong.
"It feels good, doesn't it sweetheart? But here, let me show you how much different it is when someone else is doing it." Rebecca pulled her daughters hand away from her slit and slowly traced a finger around her daughters puffy lips. Millie started to pant heavily as she stirred restlessly, unable to stand the teasingly light contact. Then Millie wailed lightly as her mother's finger dipped into her glistening crevice and found her love button. "Aaaah, oh, aaah, oh mum, ah, wooooow." Her moans took on a throatier edge as Bec's dextrous fingers started to stimulate every surface of her daughters pussy. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, feeling so conflicted and wrong for allowing this to continue, but also being incredibly and desperately aroused and just being so grateful that I was able to witness such a magnificent sight. Then my wife said something that caused the last stores of my resolve to crumble like dirt. "I can tell that this feels really good Millie, but this is still nothing compared to how you could feel. If you want, your father could show you first-hand why people like to have their privates sucked and licked. But daddy won't want to do it unless he knows that you really want him to, so you have to show him how much you want him to lick your kitty."
Before I have a chance to yell at my wife or run out of the room, Millie looks at me and I can see a powerful glimmer of lust in her beautiful eyes. "Please daddy, show me what it feels like. I.... i want to feel your mouth on my kitty! I love you daddy, please just do it right now!" She was arching her back and raising her hips, crying out from the feeling of Becca rubbing her clit, and looking into my eyes with a desperate need and longing. I no longer have the strength to hold myself back, and I dove between her legs, Bec's hand rubbing against my face as she quickly pulled away. Millie gasped and held her breath as I began my assault, my tongue making fast swipes along her small vulva. Even though her pussy was so small, her clit was prominent enough to stand out, and I sucked and rubbed it with my mouth and tongue, causing her to thrash around on the bed as her orgasm was ripped out of her. I found her vaginal hole and speared it with my tongue, the tip smacking into her intact hymen, and her legs clenched around my face as her hands found my hair and pulled at it hard. Bec started to suck on one of Millie's nipples as my tongue pistoned in and out of her incredibly tight passage, and Millie screamed even harder as a second orgasm swells up and joins the first. She floods my mouth with her delicious juices as she humps and grinds my face.
Bec quickly pulled me away before it became too sensitive, and I sat there panting, absorbing the beautiful sight of my daughter clenching and unclenching her thighs as she slowly came down from her euphoric high. Bec and I crawled up on either side of her and we just cuddled, two parents basking in the beauty and glory of their angelic nine year old daughter, as she recovered from an intense double-orgasm. She pushed us away and sat up, taking her top off and getting under the covers in the middle. We came up on either side of her and she nestled her front into my chest as her mother spooned her from behind, and sighed contentedly. "Mum, dad, thank you so much for that. Especially you daddy" She slowly snaked her arms around my neck and moved her head in to kiss me on the lips. "I absolutely LOVED the way your tongue was going in and out of my vagina. Will you promise to kiss my kitty every day?" My heart swelled with emotion and I pressed her into me, cradling her head in my hands and planting a kiss on her forehead. "Darling, I think I'll be grabbing every chance I can get to play with your delicious kitty!" She squealed with happiness and locked her lips with mine, her inexperienced tongue roughly prodding against mine. I spent the next half hour teaching her how to kiss, while her mother explored her body, making Millie shiver with pleasure.
I was disappointed when Millie pulled away from me but that feeling quickly disappeared when I saw the lust and desire in her eyes. "Dad, I want to suck on your penis and make you cum" and just started to slide down my stomach until her face was inches from my rapidly hardening organ. Bec started to touch herself as she looked at our daughter lying there facing my rod. "Did you want any instructions or advice Millie dear?"
"No thanks mum, I just want to explore him by myself." Millie started to breathe all over my cock as she lifted it and turned it around, inspecting it from all ages. She gingerly kissed the head, and when I moaned with pleasure she grew bolder and began to plant little kisses all over my cock. Then she opened her mouth slightly and poked the tip of her tongue out, and started running her mouth over every inch, the tip of her tongue sending arcs of pleasure shooting throughout my body. More and more of her tongue poked out of her mouth, until she was licking my entire dick like it was a lollipop. I couldn't believe how good it felt. I could tell Millie hadn't had any previous experience, but she seemed to instinctively know what to do. When she slipped her mouth over the tip and I felt her hot tongue swipe against my sensitive skin I moaned loudly, and she looked up at me, her beautiful plump lips stretched by my girth, her eyes sparkling with happiness and pride as she revelled in the pleasure that she was making me feel. "Honey, I-I-I don't think I'm g-going to last.. Ugh, God! Yes, keep bobbing like that, fuck you are amazing! Oh! oh geez, Millie, Millie I'm going to cum!"
Millie pulled my cock out of her mouth for a second and looked at me with unsure eyes. "Is it safe to swallow?"
"Would you like it if I swallow?"
"Oh my God yes, yes I would baby!"
That was all the encouragement she needed, she grinned at me then went back down, managing to get a third of my cock past her lips as a long, guttural moan escaped mine. She swirled her tongue lovingly around the head then started to bob in earnest, her beautiful long hair bouncing up and down on my groin. Rebecca started grunting and yelping in orgasm as I felt mine building up. I looked down at Millie and she was staring up at me with eyes half-lidded with pleasure as she watched the expression on my face. "OH FUCK! THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT MILLIE. AAAAAAAAH OH MY GOD" I was hollering as I finally erupted into her mouth. "Open your mouth a bit honey if you can't swallow all of it." Rebecca breathlessly pointed out. Millie was able to swallow at least two gulps of my sperm before she gave up and opened her mouth, letting half of thecum cascade out of her mouth and around my shaft as she swallowed the rest of it. When I she had drained me of all of my seed she released the softening head from her mouth, and enthusiastically sucked up the remaining cum in my pubes. Finally she slipped my soft prick inside her mouth and gave it a once over, before poking it out of her mouth slowly with the flat of her tongue. She wriggled her way up to me and I clasped my arms around tightly and rolled her away on my side, away from her mother. She giggled and wrapped her arms around me. "I hope that was good, I wanted to show you how much I love kissing your willy!" She flushed red and hid her face away from me, and I cupped her cheek in my hand as I turned her head to face mine. "Millie, that was absolutely mind-blowing! I'm sorry Bec, but I have never cum so hard in my life!" I moved my face closer to Millie's and we shared an exhausted but completely satisfied kiss. My wife came up and spooned my back while I held our daughter, and we peacefully drifted off to sleep.

I know I didn't start suckin' my brother's dick until I was almost 12. But if I would have caught him jackin' off earlier on, like when I was 8 or 9, I would have been happy to suck it way back then. I have to say it's the most pleasureable thing I do in my life. I look forward to getting home, getting out of my clothing, and TV time when I get to suck on his dick while we watch TV. As much as any addiction anyone can have, my addiction to sucking my brother's dick is just as powerful. If there was a way I could live with it in my mouth 24/7 I'd do it. I love his cum so freakin' much. We loved this story far above the previous one with the acid trip at the end of it.

Mountain Horse Debuts New SCS3 Stirrup Control System Mountain Horse Press Release
Part of the Fall 2005 Mountain Horse Collection , the SCS3 gives you better control, comfort and stability. They say that all good things come in threes. Well, Mountain Horse now has three great new things that together constitute a revolutionary system for riding – SCS3. These products can be used separately, and each one alone is a sensation that makes riding easier. Together they constitute a concept that radically improves control, comfort and stability in all forms of riding.
SCS3 Tall Boots and Paddocks
A specially tested pattern on the outer sole provides an unbeatable grip and an enhanced position in the stirrup. The impact absorbing system in the sole and heel provides fantastic comfort and relieves pressure on feet, knees and back. A new, uniquely designed steel shank helps provide optimum impact absorption, at the same time giving maximum support to the feet.
SCS3 Quick Release Stirrup
A unique release mechanism is integrated into the stirrup's uniform shape. An elastic rubber section bends, opens or releases fully, depending on the nature and direction of the fall. The fastening device for the release mechanism provides side support for the foot and prevents the stirrup being released accidentally. The stirrup's tested inclination helps to angle the foot into the heels down position.
SCS3 Stirrup Pads
The stirrup pad has the same patented pattern as the outsole of an SCS3 shoe. When sole and tread meet, the pattern engage, providing optimum grip without getting stuck and preventing the foot from sliding through the stirrup. There are four grip points, giving the rider the option of changing position, depending on the situation. The tread is constructed of two shockabsorbing layers and is angled to keep the foot and heel in a natural downward position.

Apple Makes Inroads Into U.S. Government as Air Force May Buy 18,000 IPads
The U.S. Air Force may buy as many as 18,000 iPad2s in what would be one of the military's biggest orders of computer tablets, accelerating Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s inroads into the federal government.
The service's Air Mobility Command plans to issue a request for proposals to buy between 63 and 18,000 "iPad 2, Brand Name or Equal devices" to lighten the load of flight crews, according to a notice posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website.
The goal is to replace the bag of manuals and navigation charts weighing as much as 40 pounds that are carried by pilots and navigators, said Captain Kathleen Ferrero, a spokeswoman for the command.
"The airline industry is way ahead of us on this," she said in a telephone interview. "Most, if not all of the major airliners are already switching to tablets."
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has been eating away at Waterloo, Ontario-based Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM)'s market share in the federal government market.
The Department of Veterans Affairs last year announced a plan to let its employees use iPhones and iPads to conduct official work on the agency's network. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration this week said it would supply employees with iPhones, the latest government organization to drop RIM's BlackBerry.
RIM Market Share
Other military branches have also begun buying phones and tablets running Apple's iOS and Mountain View, California-based Google Inc. (GOOG)'s Android operating systems.
The Army has purchased about 1,300 various mobile devices as part of a pilot program called Connecting Soldiers to Digital Applications, according to Mike McCarthy, who helps oversee the service's program. About 50 Android-based tablets will accompany troops deploying to Afghanistan this summer, McCarthy said.
RIM's share of the global smartphone market slid to 8.2 percent in the fourth quarter from 14 percent a year earlier, while Apple's share rose to 24 percent from 16 percent in the same period, according to research firm IDC of Framingham, Massachusetts.
Apple led the global tablet market with a 58 percent share in the fourth quarter, down from 68 percent in the year-ago period, according to Strategy Analytics, a Boston-based, market- research firm.
Apple rose 25 cents to $493.42 in Nasdaq trading after reaching a record high of $497.62 earlier today. RIM fell 46 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $15.44 in Nasdaq trading.
Other Devices
RIM's BlackBerry may be joined by other mobile devices with certification to access the Pentagon's sensitive and classified networks.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, which is part of the Commerce Department and develops security standards for the U.S. government, is reviewing an application from Apple to validate encryption on the iPhone and iPad, according to Evelyn Brown, an agency spokeswoman.
Government mobile devices that hold, process or transmit encrypted information must employ hardware and software that meet federal standards, she said. When the agency may decide on Apple's application is unknown, she said.
Ferrero, the Air Force command spokeswoman, said she expects the request to be released in the next week or two and that it is open to tablets other than Apple's.
Among the other tablets on the market are the BlackBerry PlayBook made by RIM, Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc (MMI).'s Xoom, the Galaxy Tab made by Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) and Barnes & Noble Inc.'s Nook.
`Unmatched' Security
Trudy Muller, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment on the government market.
RIM has more than 1 million government customers in North America who rely on the "unmatched" security of the BlackBerry platform, Marisa Conway, a company spokeswoman, said in an e- mail. "The BlackBerry PlayBook remains the only tablet certified for use by U.S. government agencies."
Air Mobility Command, based at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, provides transport and refueling services to the U.S. military around the world using C-5, C-17 and C-130 cargo planes and KC-10 and KC-135 tankers.

I feel War as he was:
soothing bloodlust with cunning
of the tricksters, with the calm
of a savage. His heart is windless,
stirring only when a bird shrieks,
when the pitiless sun burns,
harsher than flint.
He is treacherous, travelling
underground, but oh,
lovely to see his labyrinths,
to reach the crown of his fort
and gaze below.
These bricks have known
a bloody sun.
I know him as he is now:
rotting in the high walls of Time,
soundless, stale, secreted away
by piping bats, who echo night
with hands of wings.
These grasses have known
a history gone.
I see him, as he will be:
overrun by dry wilderness
and yellowing jungle, and alone,
a bridge gently folding into a moat
of moss and water.
He will strew stones on the floor,
like snow in summer, lull trees
to sleep in front of the doors,
and close the gates.
These walls have known
a silence of drums.
War sleeps
in his fortress of wrecked stone,
lying above the hill of the gods:
bloodied, but unbowed.

Saturday, June 28 (All times Eastern) Atlanta Braves (41-38) at Philadelphia Phillies (36-43), 2:05 & 7:05 p.m. DH Probable Starting Pitchers: Game One: Atlanta - Ervin Santana (5-5, 4.15) Phila - Roberto Hernandez (3-6, 4.41) Game Two: Atlanta - David Hale (2-2, 3.14) Phila - Sean O'Sullivan (0-0, 0.00) (SportsNetwork.com) - Tied for first place in the NL East, the Atlanta Braves continue their four-game series in Philadelphia with a doubleheader on Saturday. Atlanta's 4-2 win combined with Washington's 7-2 loss at Chicago meant both the Braves and Nationals are even in the division. Ervin Santana tries to snap a personal three-game losing streak when he takes the ball for the day contest for the Braves. Santana has given up 13 runs -- 12 earned -- during the skid. That covers 18 1/3 innings. The righty hasn't won in his last four appearances. That includes a loss to the Phillies at Turner Field on June 17. Santana is 1-1 in three starts versus the Phillies, including 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA in two starts at Citizens Bank Park. Roberto Hernandez, who counters for the home team, has just one victory over his last eight starts and 10 appearances overall. That triumph came June 18 at Atlanta despite surrendering eight hits and five runs over six innings. The Phillies posted a 10-5 win. In three career starts versus the Braves, Hernandez is 2-0 with a 4.26 ERA. Sean O'Sullivan makes his return to the majors in the night game for the Phillies. Signed as a free agent in the offseason, O'Sullivan has posted a 3-6 record with a 4.31 ERA in 15 starts for Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year. The right-hander went 0-2 with a 3.96 ERA in seven games (three starts) in 2013 for San Diego. David Hale, who began the season in Atlanta's rotation for four straight turns before moving to the bullpen, moves back into a starting role. The righty last pitched Sunday at Washington and recorded one out. He hasn't started since April 26 against the Reds when he tossed a career-best eight innings in a 4-1 win. Hale's lone start against the Phillies came Sept. 26 last year when he allowed a run over six frames in a 7-1 victory. Last night, Freddie Freeman's three-run homer led the Braves to their win. Freeman finished the game with three hits, four RBI and a run scored and Andrelton Simmons scored twice for the Braves, who snapped a string of four straight losses to the Phillies. "It's the last road series of this long trip and we want to go out and get some momentum going back home," Freeman said. Starter Julio Teheran (7-5) tossed seven strong innings allowing just two runs -- one earned -- on six hits with no walks and nine strikeouts to earn the win. Ben Revere had three hits and a run scored while Jimmy Rollins and Marlon Byrd each drove in a run for Philadelphia, which has dropped two of its last three games. "We've had a couple of balls hit hard, but they've been right at people," Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard said. "It's a matter of finding real estate." Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick (3-8) was tagged with the loss after giving up all four runs on nine hits with eight strikeouts across eight innings. The Phillies swept a three-game set at Atlanta June 16-18. Philadelphia leads the season series, 4-3. 06/28 10:29:19 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

How do you actually activate a phone?
Really silly question here but what do you actually do to activate a phone? I preordered the Note 2 so I want to be prepared when it arrives.
Also I am using my basic line to get the upgrade price so I will have to activate the Note 2 on that line to finish the upgrade and then, to deactivate it and use it on my unlimited line, I have to reactivate my basic phone back on its line. So, how do I then reactivate the original basic phone?
And laslty, how do I reactivate the Note 2 onto my unlimited line and will I need another SIM card to do so?

Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
I don't think you should actually have to activate it on your basic line to begin with. At my old company, we often used upgrades from other people's lines. We just had to call Verizon customer service and tell them what line it needed to be activated on. To do a normal activation there will be a number to dial *xxx and then an automated system, but if you want to just activate it on your unlimited line to begin with, you should be able to do that through a representative and not go through the hassle of activating, deactivating, reactivating, etc.
Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
You do not have to dial the *228 to activate a 4g device. You will also receive instructions on how to activate with the 4g SIM card.
Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
Log in to your my Verizon account. Then click activate device. Then reactivate the basic phone back onto the line that the gn2 is on. Next, take the gn2 into a vzw store and have them activate it as customers own equipment. OR if you have a 4G device with the same sim in it you just swap. Profit.

Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
How do you reactivate the old basic phone back on its line? And also once I activate the Note 2 (which I have coming with new SIM card) will I need another SIM card since the new one that will come with it will have been activated on the basis line?

Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
I only ask about the back and forth because I believe in order to finalize the upgrade process, the new phone has to be first activated on the secondary line. If it were to be directly activated on my other line, it would then be percieved by Verizon that I used my other line to upgrade and therefore I would lose unlimited data.

Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
No you won't loose it. You can activate the old basic phone online after you get the upgrade online. I it will come with activation instructions. Once you complete those log into your online Verizon account and click the activate equipment tab. I enter esn from old decide and then complete. The note 2 will now be free to do what ever you want to it. You will need a new sim since your thunderbolt uses the bigger one. The one that came with it is now trash as it is used with the old number. The sim cards are free.. Walk into a vzw corporate store tell them that have your own equipment that you want to activate on your number. They will grab a sim and activate it while keeping the unlimited data plan.

Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
So I will be using the sim card that comes with the Note 2 when activating onto the basic line and then, to activate it onto my unlimited line, I will need to first free up the Note 2 by reactivating the basic phone back in its line. This will then deactivate the Note 2 and free it up to be activated on my unlimited line.
When I go to reactivate the Note 2 on my unlimited line, I will need a new SIM card because the first one I used will have the basic line number info tied to it. I will have to go get this new SIM card from a Verizon store and then activate the Note 2 onto my unlimited line with the new SIM card correct?
Also is there a way to reactivate the basic phone besides on line or by dialing a number or something? I ask because I won't have the basic phone with me when I get the Note 2 as my girlfriend will be out of town and needs it so she will have to actually reactivate the basic phone. Her phone will be deactivated for only a few minutes so I need to be able to give her some detailed instructions on how to quickly reactivate her phone.

Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
Understood. I would just call and talk to them about it though. Like I said before, we did this all the time on our business account and they never gave us any hassle. For example, a user would need a new phone and not be due for an upgrade, but someone else would be due for an upgrade but not want/need to upgrade. So, we would order the upgrade on the 2nd line, but then call Verizon and have them activate it on the first line. Simple. and no disruption on the 2nd line ( that the upgrade was actually bought on).
Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
I used one of my eligible upgrade lines to get the phone, so when it arrives I will actually call in and have CS or go online and activate it to my line I will be using it on and make sure the features I added go on that line and not the line I used to upgrade. I have the Home Phone Connect which is actually a great way to have a non landline, landline.

Re: How do you actually activate a phone?
To reactivate the old basic phone, will I physically need the device or can I just enter the esn online when reactivating and it will automatically be reactivated and ready to use? I ask because my girlfriend is out of town with the basic phone so I need to be able to reactivate it for her.

The view you see above is looking downriver from the cache location, a boat landing on North Biron Drive just west of the Wood/Portage county line, and the view at this spot is spectacular in any season.
From here you can snowmobile across the Wisconsin River in the winter when the ice is thick enough, and launch a boat from the landing in the summer for fishing, water skiing, or just cruising the river. If you are brave enough, you can even access (by ice or water) Pleasure Island, that strip of land you see towards the far side of the river from this vantage point.
So if you have to spend a bit of time in the area looking for this cache, at least you'll be in the middle of the action, and you'll have a great view by the water's edge!

Kate Middleton Pictures With William at Zara's Wedding Cocktails 2011-07-29 15:06:20
William and Kate Get Mike and Zara's Wedding Party Started on a Boat!
Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, boarded the royal yacht Britannia, which was docked in Edinburgh, this afternoon in order to celebrate his first cousin Zara Phillips's wedding with a cocktail party! Kate recycled the green Diane von Furstenberg dress she wore during her visit to LA earlier this month. Prince Harry was also in attendance, and he was spotted ascending the same carpeted stairs that the bride and her husband-to-be, Mike Tindall, walked up. Zara was decked out in a dress from Alice and Olivia. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie also colorfully turned out, along with the elder's boyfriend, Dave Clark. Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall will marry tomorrow at the city's Canongate Kirk, and her royal relatives will be out in full force. Kate and William often go by their titles of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but their Scottish equivalents are the Earl and Countess of Strathearn. Scotland is a special place for the couple, as it's where they met and fell in love while students at the University of St. Andrews. Wales, though, has been their home as of late, as it's where William works with the Royal Air Force when not traveling with Kate for family obligations.

Tax reform must be policy priority
PUBLISHED: 10 Nov 2012 00:37:19 | UPDATED: 10 Nov 2012 00:37:19PUBLISHED: 10 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 10 Nov 2012The Australian Financial Review
The Australian Financial Review has championed many important causes in our 61-year history.
We have always firmly believed in the inherent virtues of enterprise, free trade, competition and small government. This weekend we are embarking on a fresh drive to get the reform of how our governments tax and spend back on the political agenda.
Tax reform has always been a touchy issue in Australia, where attempts to change or improve our taxation system have all too often become a political football.
But tax reform has never been more urgent than now because the tax system hasn't kept up with the dramatic reshaping of the Australian economy that has occurred over the past decade.
The out-of-date nature of our tax system has been brought to the fore by the underlying structural problems that have weakened the federal government's budget revenue base as both sides of politics squandered the opportunity to save the wealth created by the biggest mining boom in more than a century.
Australia's budget position is nowhere near as healthy as it looks and is quite vulnerable to the downturn in the resources boom, with this newspaper reporting on Friday that the budget is facing accumulated structural deficits of more than $120 billion over the next four years as Labor piles on more spending promises.
A culture of entitlement has led to what Treasury secretary Martin Parkinson says is an environment where the aspirations of voters exceed tax revenues. Dr Parkinson last month warned that spending on health and aged care will outstrip economic growth over the first half of this century, putting significant pressure on the budget.
We need to scrutinise the role of government and middle class family handouts, and if the revenue raising capacity has to be increased we need to ensure the tax system relies as much as possible on the least distorting and least inefficient taxes in terms of incentives to work, save and invest.
Unfortunately Australia's track record on genuine tax reform has not been a good one. The need to broaden the tax base was first outlined in the Asprey Report of 1975, but it took decades of political grandstanding before the Howard government bit the bullet and introduced the goods and services tax in 2000. But even the GST was a sub-optimal solution tainted by political compromise, with GST leakage estimated to cost as much as $15 billion a year.
Kevin Rudd promised to embrace "root and branch" tax reform after he became prime minister in 2007, but Ken Henry's review of the taxation system was flawed from the start by Labor's refusal to address the need to increase and broaden the GST.
Labor then cherry-picked from Dr Henry's recommendations for its own political advantage, eventually leading to the botched minerals resource rent tax. Revenue from the MRRT will be much lower than forecast, but Labor effectively has locked in the associated spending promises, including a widening tax concession for superannuation as super contributions rise from 9 per cent to 12 per cent.
The Gillard government's carbon tax has been an equally craven political exercise, rather than part of a considered approach to tax reform that fixes the system's inefficiencies and distortions.
Labor's attempts to reform tax in recent months have also proved disastrous, with a case in point being the draft report of the Business Tax Working Group.
The hand-picked group, which included business leaders and a trade unionist, was told to come up with ways to fund a cut in corporate tax out of existing concessions to business, such as accelerated depreciation and the frequently misused research and development concession.
After much work the group concluded in a draft report in October that it could not agree on what concessions to give up to pay for the tax cut, and that the aimed for 1 percentage point reduction would make little difference.
But another, more substantial reason is that business does not trust the Labor government sufficiently to surrender any of its tax concessions, when it may not be used to pay for a cut in the company tax rate. The Labor government has shown little taste for the sort of broad-based, fundamental tax reform that we need to remain competitive in an increasingly inter-linked global economy.
A review of the GST being undertaken by a committee headed by former NSW Premier Nick Greiner has been specifically prohibited from recommending an increase in the rate. Similarly another review on payroll tax, which is collected by the states, is looking only at harmonising the various different state rules, such as the thresholds at which the tax applies.
State governments, business and voters would be more amenable to tax reform if any changes were presented as a comprehensive package that would increase revenue but would also greatly improve the efficiency of the system and help to lift productivity.
Our political leaders need to move past what economist Ross Garnaut has presciently described as the "Great Complacency" that has afflicted our national discourse over the past decade and has stalled any efforts at substantive tax reform.

Anyone who is a fan of Classical Music; in this case "Romantic Era German" will find this album a delight. This is a fine example of Schumann's style of music writing and is most excellently performed by Johannes Wildner and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. Indeed, one would almost certainly be inclined to conclude that Schumann's style of music writing seems to pick up where Beethoven's left off. an essential album.

HetaliaxCountry!Reader First world meeting Part 2
After have gotten to know most of the countries it was time to head back to the meeting room. Your places had been changed. You now sat between Norway and, weird there was no name plate for the person that will sit on your other side. Instead there was a little boy with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hello" You greeted and sat down
"OH hello you must be a new country! Just like me, I'm Sealand and you are (Country name)" He said happily with an english accent.
"Nice to meet you" You said and shook his hand
"Most countries doesn't see me as a country though, but I am see here is a picture of it" Sealand said and pulled out a picture out of his pocket. You saw a big fort in the sea with a flag on top.
"Oh now I understand why your name is Sealand" You smiled
"Finally someone understands me!" He cheered and hugged you
"Aw" You squealed and hugged him back, you then see Norway taking his seat beside you
"Hi Norway" You greeted
"Hei" He said in his monotone voice
"Bloody hell Peter that's my seat!" An angry brit screamed behind you making you and Sealand jump.
"Piss off jerk I have the same right to be here as you!" Peter said standing up
"You're not a country you nitwit! Why don't you go home and watch anime?" England said trying to calm down.
"I am a country even (Country name) says so" Sealand said
"Of course she does she doesn't know any better" England said and started to drag Sealand out of the room. All the countries entred the room giving weird stares at England and Sealand.
"Sorry about him" England said when he sat down on your other side
"It's fine I think he is a country a very cute one" You giggled making England frown
The meeting started again and you took some notes about some things that could be a good use for your country.
The meeting was finally over, you grabbed your things and turned around to walked into someone.
"I'm so sorry!" You said
"It's fine chica" Spain smiled making you blush
"Hey back off idiota!" Romano Italy's brother said was now standing between the two of you
"Bueno Romano" Spain said ignoring what Romano said
"If you lay one finger on (Country name) I'll promise you that you will not see the sun ever again" Romano said and then turned to you "Tell me if he annoys you" he said
"But Roma I would never to anything to hurt the little country" Spain said, Romano continued to bickering and you felt a light tap on your shoulder. You turned around and faced Germany and France.
"Hallo (Country name) I know zhat you are not part of Europe but feel free to ask for our help if you need any, me und France are the bosses of zhe European Union" Germany said giving you some papers.
"Thanks that's is so nice of you" You smiled
"Ohonohon why not letting her join anyway?" France winked, you then see Greece and Poland shaking their heads at you as to tell you "No"
"Thank you France but I think I can take care of myself just fine" You said and exited the room. When you came out to the main hall you see a little girl with short blonde hair and green eyes. She looked lost.
"Hello are you alright?" You asked when you walked towards her
"No..I am waiting for my brother but he hasn't showed up yet" The little girl said
"Who is your brother?"
"It's Switzerland I am his little sister Liechtenstein" Lichtenstein said, you thought for a second. Wasn't he the blonde guy who said something to Japan about hitting him with his peace prize?
"Oh I know who he is! He is still in the meeting room" You said
"Oh okay thank you very much eh.." Lichtenstein looked a bit confused
"(Country name)" You said
"Thank you very much (Country name)" She smiled and run to his brother
"Don't they have a bar somewhere? I need beer I haven't drunked it for 3 hours!" you turned around and see the Nordics walk out
"Moi moi I want salamakki!" Finland said
"I'm fine as long as they have fish" Norway said
"Agreed" Iceland said
"Fika" was all Sweden said
"Beware of the western nations aru" China said standing right next to you
"Why is that? I think they are nice" You said
"Tsk sure but they are so immature" China said looking at America who was telling a joke to Canada.
"There you are (Country name) so grad I found you" Japan said walked to you and China
"Hi japan what is it?" You asked
"Werr I heard that peopre in your country are very good at teknologi and I wanted to ask if you want to become my partner" Japan asked blushing a bit
"Um sure I'd love to" You said
"In that case I can be your partner in merchandise aru" China said
"Dude I was going to ask that" America shouted to China
"We have top production in the Uk" England said
"Ohohon but with no class" France said
"Shut it frog!"
"Ve we can make food together" Italy said, now America, France, China, Japan, Russia, England, Italy and Germany was surronding you making you a bit frightened. They were all started to fight on which one who should be your partner and stuff like that. You quietly linked between Russia and Germany and ran off somewhere. Russia was the first one to notice that you were gone.
"Where did she go, da?" Everyone stopped fighting and glared at each other before they went seperate ways to find you.
You were now in the corridor where your room was and panted a little. "Finland was right they are scary" You thought.
"There you are (Country name)" You jumped a little thinking that it was one of them but it was only Canada.
"You scared me" You said
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to" Canada said
"It's fine" You said
"I was going to ask you if you wanted to go with me and a few other nations to go sightseeing"
"Which countries?" You asked a bit suspicious
"You know, me, Seychelles, Australia, New Zealand" Canada said
"Okay souns fun" You said happily and went sightseeing with your friends

"If marijuana ever became completely legal, then it is likely that more people would use … [and] it is also likely that some ill effects would occur from that use," writes Lance Dodes in Psychology Today. But "it is unlikely to catalyze a major shift away from current addictive use of alcohol or other compulsive behaviors, and it is unlikely that the total number of people with addictions will rise significantly."
In the eyes of many Americans, particularly in younger generations, the drug is now seen as being in the same class as beer. Some 69 percent of voters under age 29 support legalization, according to Quinnipiac.
"With the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes legal in about 20 states, and Washington and Colorado voting this November to legalize the drug for recreational use, American voters seem to have a more favorable opinion about this once-dreaded drug," Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, told CBS News. "There are large differences on this question among the American people."
Though boosted by successes in Colorado and Washington, pro-marijuana advocates say their toughest challenge is convincing Congress and President Obama to declassify pot as a Schedule 1 drug – or at least to ensure that Congress doesn't interfere with state experimentation on marijuana taxation. After all, Mr. Obama allowed his Justice Department to begin a crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries despite a campaign promise to not do so.

With predator populations rising, more calls for control
Western states grapple with how to address an increasing threat to livestock from wolves and big cats.
Jesse B. Gill/Redlands Daily facts/ap/file
Ashland, Ore.
Around the West and in various ways, efforts to wage war on wildlife predators are increasing.
Some examples: ranchers and environmentalists are fighting over a proposal to have the Environmental Protection Agency ban the use of two poisons that kill coyotes.
A successful wolf-reintroduction program means wolves are likely to be taken off the endangered species list soon, and critics of removal say this would leave them vulnerable to indiscriminate shooting, particularly in Idaho and Wyoming.
And here in Oregon, hunters soon may be deputized to kill cougars, whose population has grown from several hundred in the 1960s to about 5,000 since the use of radio-collared dogs to hunt them was banned in 1994.
While there is no direct connection, collectively these issues reflect the tension between rural Westerners involved in ranching, farming, and logging, and those in growing urban and recreational areas where people are more likely to have a friendlier attitude toward wildlife. In all cases, wild species' need for adequate habitat is competing against human interests.
Tuesday was to have been the deadline for public comment on a proposal before the EPA to outlaw the use of sodium cyanide and sodium fluoroacetate to kill wild animals that prey on sheep and cattle. But at the request of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the deadline was extended to March 5.

Currently, I am receiving Fox HD, CBS HD, and other main networks on channels 98.3, 98.104, etc by simply running coaxial cable from wall to RF input on HDTV. These HD channels look great.
We have been informed that starting at the end of November, we will be be needing the digital transport adapters in order to receiver ANY channels above 26. I knew this was coming and I have picked up my 2 free adapters. I hooked one up to an older CRT TV in the basement and it works great.
I'm holding off to hook up a transport adapter to the HDTV cause I had a question about these current HD channels. What is gonna happen to these network HD channels once the digital transition fully goes into effect? Will I essentially be losing ch 98.103, 98.3, etc? Or will they possibly be moved to somewhere below ch26?
You won't receive any HD channels via the DTA. You can continue to receive them by splitting the incoming cable and using a switch to feed the cable directly to the TV when you wish to view the HD channels. Alternatively you can pay more and get a box with an HD tuner.
10-31-2010 09:19 PM - edited 10-31-2010 09:20 PM
OK, so essentially when I don't use a DTA and go directly from the wall jack to the RF input on the TV, I will get ch2-26, but then it will jump up to the odd channel numbers (like 73.1, 98.3, 98.104, etc) for the HD material, correct?
The DTA is to enable you to receive the expanded basic channels, which will be encrypted. If you're only interested in the local channels (the ones you call 2-26) then you don't need the DTA at all, since the TV tuner will receive them in addition to the HD channels.
11-01-2010 07:48 AM - edited 11-01-2010 08:48 AM
OK, but my real question in concerning the basic HD cable channels I was receiving without any kind of box (DTA or converter). Will I then lose ANY channels above 26 for the HDTV when the full digital transition takes place? No more local HD networks at ch 98.104, 73.10, 98.3, etc., right? Or will I get these local HD channels WITHOUT any kind of box (DTA or converter)?
11-01-2010 11:58 AM - edited 11-01-2010 12:02 PM
You should still be able to receive the local HD channels you have now, although Comcast has been known to move them around.

I just caught up with an interview in Newsweek with Rodney Brooks, the roboticist, in which he argues that conscious robots are possible. The real problem, he says, is us. "Whether we humans are smart enough to build such machines is a different question. Maybe we're just not smart enough. That pisses off the scientists when I say that."

1. Dufour 27 2. How do you know how much a boat is worth?

My advice to you would be to continue looking at lots of boats. In a while, after seeing what is on the market and what people are asking for them, you'll get a rough idea of what things are worth.
When you find the right boat you will feel a bit of a twinge in your midsection - halfway between the first time you saw a cheerleader's skirt fly up and the last time you wet your pants.
If you have more money than the seller is asking you will go through the motions of negotiating but won't waste much time trying to beat the price down. You'll buy the boat and then go out and spend everything you have left on little presents for her.
If you have less money than the seller is asking you will negotiate like crazy, you will remortgage your house and send your spouse out to work the nearest corner for extra cash. When you finally have enough money you will buy the boat and then you will find more money from somewhere to go out and buy little presents for her.
Good Luck !
