As of Thursday, September 1, 2011

Residents on the Southside are being called upon to pay tribute to an injured military serviceman as he makes his way home.
A "Bringing Home an American Hero" escort ride is scheduled for Saturday, in honor of U.S. Marine Cpl. Tony Mullis.
"It boils down to Semper Fidelis, the Marine Corps motto of 'always faithful' to those past, present and future who fight, die or are injured fighting for the freedoms that this country was founded on," said Junior Vice Commandant Cody Smith, of Marine Corps League Detachment 1373. His group is coordinating the ride, along with the Rolling Thunder GA-3 motorcycle group, and the Patriot Guard Riders.
Mullis, 21, of Hawkinsville, Ga., was on his second deployment to Afghanistan, April 6, when he sustained injuries from an improvised explosive device, resulting in amputation of his legs.
"It was the day after his first child — his son, Cason — was born," said Smith.
A procession will begin at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, at approximately 9 a.m., and will travel south on Interstate 75, through Clayton and Henry counties.
"Any other riders who want to join up can meet us at the Flash Foods on Watson Blvd., and I-75 in Warner Robins," said Smith. "They will be stopping there to refuel. Kickstands go up at 10:30 a.m."
Retired Air Force Staff Sgt. Mark Campbell is a Rolling Thunder member and volunteer whose son, Mark, Jr., is serving in the Marines in Iraq, as a combat engineer. The senior Campbell said he recognizes the sacrifices made by Mullis, and others who have been injured or killed while serving in the military.
"We could be doing this ride for our son," said Campbell. "They've given it all, and it's our turn to give back."
Roughly 300 motorcycle riders are expected to take part in Saturday's event. Campbell said motorists should be prepared for more traffic than usual.
"It should be a safe ride, but we do want everybody to exercise caution," he said. "I would expect the interstate to be shut down when we come through."
Organizers of the escort ride have been in contact, in recent days, with the Henry County Chamber of Commerce in an effort to spread the word about Cpl. Mullis' arrival in the area. The Chamber's Director of Tourism, Laura Luker, said her organization was eager to cooperate.
"We've done things in the past to welcome our military home," she said. "We all want our military to know how thankful we are for their service."
Following the escort ride, a parade honoring Cpl. Mullis will begin at 12 noon, at Highway 341 and Commerce Street, in Hawkinsville. For more information, visit the Marine Corps League Detachment 1373 page, on Facebook.

The IRQR asked a representative in the city of Sari (the capital of the northern Iranian province of Mazandaran) to find out more.
Here is his report:
Reza, 23, and Alireza, 28, are boyfriends and live together in a small rented apartment in Sari. Alireza works at his father's real estate office. Reza stays at home, as his more outwardly 'feminine' behavior attracts homophobic comments from the neighbors. Neither of the men's families accepts Reza and Alireza's sexuality or their consequent decision to live together as a loving couple.
On May 27, 2010, Iranian security forces raided Reza and Alireza's apartment and arrested both men, along with some guests who were visiting. Their computer and personal belongings were confiscated as evidence.
The guests were released by the security forces a few days later, after being forced to testify that Reza and Alireza live together as lovers. They say that during their arrest they heard rumors that the police were responding to a complaint by Reza and Alireza's families about their sons.
Reza and Alireza were sent to the Revolutionary Court of Sari located in Artesh Blvd. We do not know what sentence they have received, but there are rumors that they have been sentenced to death.
Also in Sari in May 2010, a well known businessman, Hamid, 40, was arrested for having a sexual relationship with a 17 year old man. The arrest took place after Hamid's wife called the police.
Hamid received 74 lashes. There are some reports that he has also been sentenced to death, but we have been unable to confirm this. There is no news regarding the 17 year old man.
Amir Hossein, 23, known among his friends in Sari for his bisexuality, was arrested by Basij security force while having dinner with his girlfriend. While in the custody of the Iranian security forces, he was beaten to death.
IRQR condemns the arrest, torture and murder of Iranian queers by the Iranian security forces as a breach of internationally recognized human rights and we urge the Iranian government to take action to stop these abuses. We also ask international organizations, especially Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to support IRQR in conducting further investigations into all of these cases.

HOUSTON, TEXAS (February 29, 2008) Legendary boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya, founder of global sports promotion organization Golden Boy Promotions and longtime business partner Gabriel Brener , Chairman & CEO of Brener International Group have entered into an agreement to acquire significant ownership interests in the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer (MLS) it was announced at a press conference by Timothy J. Leiweke , President and CEO, AEG..
Current owner/operators of the two-time defending MLS Cup Champion Dynamo, AEG will retain ownership shares in the club and continue to operate the franchise in partnership with the new ownership group according to Oliver Luck , President and General Manager of the Houston Dynamo.
Having Oscar and Gabriel as our partners in Houston is the right alliance in the right market at the right time, said Leiweke. With Gabriel and his familys strong ties and commitment to Houston , our organization will have an even more significant, positive impact and influence within the community.
Oscar and our organization go back many years and having the ability to tap into his business background and marketing philosophies will be an asset for this team that the fans will see the benefits of from today forward, Leiweke added. Together this ownership group will continue to build a model franchise and make it our highest priority to find a home for the Dynamo in the Houston metro area.
Im a huge soccer fan and have been very impressed with the progress MLS and especially The Houston Dynamo have made in recent years. I also appreciate how much soccer, like boxing, appeals to the Hispanic community. Im very excited to be part of such a top notch organization, said De La Hoya.
Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Enterprises added, We are very pleased to join the Houston family. The association with Brenner, AEG and The Dynamo is very much in keeping with our philosophy to partner with the best organizations and individuals out there. We look forward to being part of the teams growth.
We are proud to team up once again with our friend and partner Oscar De La Hoya and honored to partner with the dynamic AEG organization, said Gabriel Brener, Chairman & CEO of Brener International Group, LLC. Brener International Group, LLC favors investing in the best of the best, and the Houston Dynamo clearly belongs in this category with its superb management, coaching staff, players, and most importantly, the fans. Not to mention this deal fits perfectly with our strategy of investing in sports and entertainment that appeal to both Hispanic and Anglo markets.
In addition to consecutive league titles, the Dynamo advanced to the semifinal of the preseason CONCACAF Champions Cup, and semifinal of the first-ever SuperLiga. Dynamo star Pat Onstad became the first goalkeeper to win three MLS Cup Championships, and Onstad was a force behind the teams modern-day, professional team sports shutout record of 727 minutes without allowing a goal. Dwayne De Rosario became the leagues first two-time MLS Cup MVP.
Aside from the teams on-field success in 2006 and 2007, the Dynamo enjoyed three consecutive record-setting crowds of over 30,000 toward the end of last season. Dynamo home tickets sales grew 49% in 2007 compared to the teams inaugural season in Houston , and expanded its season ticket base by similar figures. Sponsorship increased by 73%. The franchise was also nominated for El Premio de la Gente , (Sports Team of the Year) by TV Azteca. Dynamo players were honored at The White House, and the Texas State Capitol in 2007.
We are very excited about the involvement that Oscar De La Hoya and Gabriel Brener will have in the organization, said Oliver Luck , President & General Manager, Houston Dynamo. Everyone associated with the Houston Dynamo looks forward to having them in our organization and working with them to continue to build the best possible MLS franchise.

Re: Bluewater Sailboat Question
hello there, welcome to sn. I am rather new here but I really enjoyed the information and people that I have chatted with as well is a very informative threads. I'll also found quite a bit of humor and I absolutely enjoy that. In 2004 I was a victim of a hit-and-run accident on my Harley. So I can relate to what you're going through. I have found sailing to be the perfect therapy. You are fortunate that you are looking for a boat at this time, as the economy is, there are some really good deals out there. With your injuries you might find that a tiller style steering makes it more difficult for you. You might want to find something with a steering station and a wheel that will hold the Rudder and place if you are single handling your new vessel.I am spoiled by a good autopilot that makes single handling really easy.good luck with your adventure and if I may be of any help don't hesitate to contact me......Captg

YSCLOSKEY, La.-- It is a longtime tradition in St. Bernard Parish: the 'Annual Blessing of the Fleet.' While it usually attracts a number of vessels to the waterways around Yscloskey and Delacroix, the oil spill put a damper on it this year.
'Give them your fullest blessings and continue to be with all of those who are working with this oil crisis, this spill, to clean it up and to preserve our land as best as possible and to restore us to our full livelihood,' said Father John Arnone of St. Bernard Catholic Church, before he headed out on a boat for the blessing.
In its more than 60 years, the Blessing of the Fleet usually attracted between 150 to 200 vessels, which would parade down the parish's waterways.
'Normally, the blessing of the fleet is something we look forward to every year because it's a tradition that we bless what we have for the future,' said Brad Robin of Robin Seafood. 'It's what we do: catch the crop of the water. The lord gives us the crop and we do that.'
Yet, for fishermen in St. Bernard, these are troubled times because of troubled waters. The oil spill helped create a different kind of blessing: instead of boats parading down Bayou La Loutre to a waiting priest for blessing, Father Arnone and local officials traveled to the vessels by boat.
'We changed the pattern a little bit and we're going to them this year, in the hopes that we keep this tradition alive and build on it again next year,' said St. Bernard Parish President Craig Taffaro.
'It ain't what it used to be,' said crabber Garet Mones. 'Most of the boats on the job right now. I guess they can't really take time out for the boat blessing.'
Fishermen, shrimpers, crabbers and oystermen are now faced with the uncertainty of what the oil spill's legacy might do to their family's legacies.
'Can we pass this on? Will it be there to be passed on? Uncertain,' said Robin, whose family has been in the fishing industry for more than 60 years. 'This could be five years, it could 10 years, it could be eternity. We don't really know-- and I don't think nobody knows.'
That feeling is shared by fishermen there, who hope the blessing provides them not only with protection, but with answers, too.

problem with BC with Leopard-BC partition not showing up.
hey guys, running leopard on iMac 2.16 w/3 Gig of ram ( White iMac)
Leopard running smooth, went to go install my winxp for gaming.
Created a 50 gig partition via the bootcamp assistant , said restart, and bla bla bla
but when i get in to the win xp setup , under where to install my windows, the 50 gig partition that i made didnt show up, in fact, there was only one partition, and it was for 131gb, which didnt match any partion i had on my system.
i re-tryed a few times, still same thing, so i figure, hey it might be a bug and just clicked ok to install on that partion and it wiped out my leopard install....
So whats the prob. here?
why isnt the partition bootcamp created showing up on my Windows setup?
|Nov 17, 2007, 05:10 PM
I've got the same problem right now on my 2.33 MBP.
I used the Boot Camp Assistant to create a 12 GB partition, which shows up in Leopard as a 12 GB partition called "BOOTCAMP". Then the Assistant reboots with my XP CD. XP does its thing loading drivers and such, but when it gets to the "pick your partition" screen, only my 134 GB Leopard partition shows up, and nothing else. Not wanting to zap my Leopard partition, I quit out and reboot into OS X.
And I just Archived and Installed to Leopard this morning. Anyone knows what gives?
|Nov 17, 2007, 05:18 PM
Same exact problem here on my brand new Santa Rosa MacBook.
This seems to be a Leopard Boot Camp bug that other people have been having as well. Quite annoying.
If anyone has a fix please share!

Tantalizingly, this thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=369700
seems to offer a solution using either Norton Ghost or FreeDOS.
Flyinmac suggests booting to a command prompt (apparently from a bootable DOS CD), and then using the DOS disk tool FDISK. Using FDISK will confirm the presence of the BOOTCAMP partition. Flyinmac then suggests using the format command (ye olde "format c:" for you old school DOS people), to reformat that partition.
It's a little risky, as you need to be very sure that you're formatting the right partition, but I may give it a try and let you know how it goes.
|Nov 18, 2007, 02:06 AM
By the way, the solution for me ended up being making sure that I had the Service Pack 2 version of XP. The other stuff regarding FreeDOS and Ghost ended up being irrelevant. Starting again from a clean Boot Camp Assistant partition, my XP SP2 detected the partitions and installed by the book.
It should also be noted that I was able to slipstream my non-SP2 XP into an SP2 XP, by following these instructions: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...slipstream.asp
This may not work for you if you lack access to a Windows machine with the proper tools installed. Still, it worked great for me after an afternoon of struggling with those other solutions.
|Nov 18, 2007, 08:08 AM
Hi thanks for posting this, I'm going to take a look at some of the methods you described.
Only thing is that I made sure to install a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 (http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wind...5394861&sr=8-1)
from the beginning and I'm still not seeing the partition on boot.
I'm going to take a look at some other software today to see if it gets the job done. This looks promising: http://refit.sourceforge.net/screen.html

hey guys, it seems that i needed to have the Sp2 disk when installing, pre leopard i just used my sp1 disk then upgraded, and it worked...but with leopard it seems you NEED to have the SP2 disk
thanks all
|Nov 18, 2007, 03:09 PM
Alec: That makes sense out of the conflicting reports I've heard about being able to install even with SP1.
Subwarm: I'd be wary of switching up the EFI boot menu. Given the bumps people have been having with Boot Camp, I could see them updating it soon.

Greater Yellowstone Winter Suggestions
Started Nov 15, 2011 | Discussions thread
Contributing Member • Posts: 718
2 - dress for the weather - nothing will ruin your trip more than suffering thru serious cold and wind if you aren't prepared. And if you are prepared, the weather can't do a thing to hurt your trip.
3 - check the snow coach tours that run out of West Yellowstone. I've done two and they are excellent - a great way to see the geyser basin and the Yellowstone falls and canyon - seeing them without taking a snow coach requires a lot of travel on foot and a lot of time.
4 - the road from Mammoth to Lamar is kept open with interruptions for clearing new snow - what you know about shooting in Lamar still applies in winter.
1 - for your son, and the father who raised him, thanks - Semper Fi.

Vice Admiral
After just two months in the game (but playing like crazy), I have supposedly made Vice Admiral (despite still feeling like a newbie). However, as I have now "reached the maximum rank and grade, points will go towards my officers pool rather than my own abilities". Consequently, my question is this: how do I actually upgrade (I'm currently "Rear admiral upper half 6", and how then can I add to skills in my skill tree on the rightmost columns, where there are still all sorts of abilities I haven't even begun to try out? Also, how would I get my promotion so that I can retrofit my ship?
Thank you.

Traditional malware defenses rely heavily on signatures and known patterns of malicious threats. Cyber criminals have devised ways in which to bypass these traditional defenses. FireEye has created revolutionary solutions designed to stop these advanced web and email based attacks by providing dynamic analysis of traffic entering and exiting your environment without reliance on signatures. Through the use of real time forensic analysis in multiple virtual environments, their solutions can prevent zero-day and advanced blended attacks, such as spear phishing, that current AV, IPS, and anti-spam technologies simply cannot detect.

When: 7 p.m. Thursday following a 6 p.m. work session
Where: Port of Walla Walla administrative office, 310 A St.
- public records policy: Consider adoption of a revised public records policy that appoints the Port's executive director as the agency's public records officer. All requests seeking disclosure of public records would be directed to the executive director, who would have five business days to acknowledge receipt of a request and provide an estimated time the agency could provide the documents. Copies would be 25 cents. In the event a request does or could result in a conflict of interest on the part of the executive director, the Port attorney would serve as public records officer. The new revision would replace a policy adopted March 2007.
- donation policy: Consider adopting a policy to accept donations. Attorney Tom Baffney has prepared a standardized letter for use by the Port when accepting donations of personal or real property, such as improvements that have been made at Le Chateau Winery, 175 E. Aeronca Ave.
- Wheat marketing policy: Consider adopting revisions to the agency's wheat marketing efforts for 2012.
- le chateau winery: Consider accepting the donation of improvements at the winery and tasting room as the operation prepares for closure.

It achieves the same effect. The second server must be up and running in order to provide fall-over, why not use it and load balance as well.
That is NOT WHAT he asked at all!! That is simple round robin, 1 time get this address, next time get that address.
You can load balance that way - not failover!
"which will always point to server1.domain.local but in the event that server is down points to server2.domain.local"

There is nothing in MS dns to do that - like I said you would need some script or software to monitor the systems and then change the dns record. You could modify the script I linked to do what you want. MS dns might a bit more difficult to work with than bind.

Not long ago I was watching a television show that mentioned something about a snake oil salesmen. I have thought about it off and on since then and recalled what was probably the last days of the era of traveling medicine shows and patent medicines.
My only recollection of an actual medicine show was when I was still young, probably a pre-teen. A man in a black suit had set up hjis table on the sidewalk at the corner of Crews' store. He had a partner who plucked out some pretty good tunes on a banjo. This, of course, was to attract people.
The fellow launched into his sales pitch about the miraculous healing powers of the elixir whose formula was a secret blend of wild herbs and roots handed down from generation to generation by Indians. He, of course, was descended from Indian ancestors. This was why he was trusted with the formula.
After claiming that the concoction would cure almost anything from in-grown toenails to brain tumors, he asked for a volunteer to come forward. And one fellow did. The salesman told the man that he could pour a little of the almost colorless liquid into the volunteer's hand and, if he had rheumatism, it would turn red. Which it did.
After that, several people were eager to fork over the price of a bottle (I forgot the cost) and hurry home to cure himself and his wife . I learned later that the alcohol content of the tonic helped to assuage the disappointment in the actual healing powers.
The common ailments of the day were given names that are all but gone today. Catarrh, quinsy, goiter pleurisy and dropsy, along with rheumatism and ptysic (pronounced tizzick) were the ailments most commonly treated by different home remedies.
Quinsy was a throat problem which is what we would call tonsillitis today.
Pleurisy was an inflammation of the lungs.
Dropsy was an accumulation of fluids around the heart.
Rheumatism has become arthritis and St. Anthony's Fire was a strep infection. St. Vitus' Dance was involuntary movements of the face and limbs. I think the name today is chorea.
Blood poisoning ,or lockjaw, was the fear if you stepped on a rusty nail. Tetanus shots handle that problem today.
The grippe was the name given to influenza ao its symptoms.
Vaccinations have all but eliminated the once dreaded diphtheria, whooping cough, ot tussis, small pox and scarlet fever.
Boils were all too frequent back then but not so much today.
As exotic as some of the ailments might sound, the treatments and cures were even more so. For instance, many jokes have been made about goose grease and molasses but it was no joke to that generation who used that concoction for a cough or sore throat.
Likewise, a good dose of sulfur and molasses in the spring had a cleaning effect on the innards.
A woolen sock, filled with salt, heated and used as a pillow was good for a toothache or earache. A poultice was good to draw out infection. Also, bread and milk with some soda water added was good for infection.
Salt pork rind was good for boils and puncture wounds. I myself, have had a piece of pork fat tied with a rag bandage on a painful boil. I think it worked. Later, we were introduced to a black salve to help boils come to a head.
Some old-timers used a mixture of egg whites and turpentine for sprains.
All kinds of leaves were brewed to make a tea for healing different ailments. After drinking the tea, you could put the leaves over the eyelids and it helped a headache.
Many of the cures and treatments seem far-fetched, and they are, but science today has verified that many of the old remedies do indeed have healing qualities. In fact, some modern drugs are derived from some of the same sources as as the ones used by our ancestors.
Another cure that I know something about personally was something called an acifidity bag. As best I can recall, it was a lot of aromatic stuff including onions and other herbs and roots tied up in a piece of cheesecloth and boiled. The result was rather aromatic (stinky) concoction worn around the neck for a variety of ailments. Most, I think, were breathing related.
Save your e-mails. I am not licensed to treat your ailments. Anyway, I don't have the ingredients needed to compound the cures.
I am old enough to remember being treated with some of the home remedies. Something worked. Whether it was the medicine or the loving care with which it was administered, I don't lnow….or care.
