The type of 107 firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet 108 filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets 109 based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall, 110 a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more 111 bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more 112 closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level 113 protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based 114 firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local 115 clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but 116 they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if 117 you say Y here. 118 119 You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as 120 the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without 121 globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one 122 of the computers on your local network wants to send something to 123 the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it 124 forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but 125 modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the 126 firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host 127 replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the 128 correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net 129 are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can 130 reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to 131 run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network 132 using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often 133 called NAT (Network Address Translation). 134 135 Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on 136 the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux 137 box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server, 138 typically a caching proxy server. 139 140 Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using 141 a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see" 142 the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet 143 protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter 144 configuration). 145 146 Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous 147 masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent 148 proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms.

Researchers at The Wistar Institute announce the discovery of small molecules that kill cancer cells caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV).
Dentists can identify early signs of oral cancer. Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 19, 2012 As part of Oral Cancer Awareness Month in April, the California

Oral cancer is on the rise. It's no longer mostly smokers or tobacco-users developing it; it's sexually-active adults between the ages of 20 and 50.
Research led by Lauren Cole, a public health graduate student, and Dr. Edward Peters, Associate Professor of Public Health and Director of the Epidemiology Program at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, reports that the incidence of head and neck cancer has risen at sites associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection, with the greatest increase among middle-aged white men.

A human papillomavirus (HPV), a member of the papillomavirus family, is capable of infecting humans. HPVs establish productive infections in the skin or mucous membranes. Most of the 200 known types cause no symptoms in most people. Some types can cause warts, while others can lead to cancer. There are more than 30 to 40 types of HPV that are typically transmitted through sexual contact and infect the anogenital region. High risk HPV, can lead to cancer, in fact HPV infection is a cause of...

had complete military records and numerous citations for their work with chemical agents.
In the course of this study, the committee examined many government documents and technical summaries of experiments with mustard agents and Lewisite that involved the use of human subjects. Although information regarding the treatment of human subjects was scarce, it was possible to piece together a general picture. Certain aspects of these reports were striking and, coupled with very precise and matching statements of many veterans, were impossible for the committee to ignore. A brief description of these aspects is included here to corroborate the statements of the veterans. It is also presented to make manifest all of the information and challenges that faced this committee and to offer additional background for some of the directions taken by the committee during the study.
Detailed descriptions, or copies of official instructions, of how human subjects were recruited are lacking, but are outlined in Cochrane's (1946) historical description of the research done under the CWS (declassified in 1991) and other papers. One report, "Chamber Tests with Human Subjects," includes a short section that describes the treatment of subjects in the initial chamber tests at the NRL (Taylor et al., 1943; see also Appendix D). This section details how the men were induced to participate by offers of extra leave and a "change of scenery." It further states that the men should not be told too much in the beginning, but that after a few times in the chamber they can be told "almost anything without affecting their morale.''
In contrast, Cochrane states that tests at Camp Sibert in Alabama had to be halted due to a lack of willing subjects. The official explanation was that the commanding officers actively discouraged men from becoming subjects, because they did not want to have to replace them. Cochrane, who was present at Camp Sibert and notes in the text that men were sometimes burned more than necessary, writes that the "apathy may have been due to the look of the scars on the men returned to the training companies after the tests." The NRL report provides additional evidence for severe injuries during the testing programs: in praising the morale of the subjects, it describes how men sent to the hospital and incapacitated for a month were "not upset and even volunteered for further trials" (Taylor et al., 1943; see also Appendix D). However, morale may not have been uniformly high at NRL, because the same report also gives instructions for dealing with uncooperative individuals. Such subjects were to be given "a short, explanatory talk and, if necessary, a slight verbal 'dressing down."' Finally, although no man

More Volume - Less Soreness
More Volume - Less Soreness
When training arms I have usually limited myself to no more than 10 sets. The next day I usually have a bit of soreness. However, I decided, in order to shock and change my routine, to switch to a much higher volume of training temporarily. I ended up doing an intense 17 sets for biceps, and now two days later I have virtually no soreness in the biceps. Is there a physiological reason why a higher volume like this might result in less soreness than usual?

This is interesting to me. I did something similar last week and increased my sets from about 9 to 20 for my arms, and I was much more sore the next day than I would usually be. Sub'd for an answer from someone with the science.

St. Clare is here, don't bring eggs
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
The moment the monastery's chapel closed for the night, a group of nuns in brown habits quietly emerged from their cloistered choir loft and swarmed around their "special guest," ready with their handkerchiefs and digital cameras.
Near the altar, inside an ornate, gleaming monstrance, was the relic of their monastic order's founder, St. Clare of Assisi.
For the first time in 800 years, the relic—a fragment of the saint's cranium—left its home at Basilica di Santa Chiara in Assisi, Italy, in line with the octocentennial celebration of the Order of St. Clare, also known as the Poor Clares.
Following its arrival at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Tuesday, the relic was brought to Monasterio de Sta. Clara in Quezon City, where it was kept overnight before it was flown to Cebu.
That night at the monastery, the nuns silently savored a private moment with their Italian founder, reverently wiping the glass casing that contained the monstrance with their hankies, taking souvenir photos, whispering prayers. The relic's exquisitely crafted vessel depicts the Virgin Mary surrounded by a host of angels.
Though it was not the first time for the nuns to see the relic up close, it was the first time for the sacred object to visit their secluded home, according to Sr. Ma. Amelia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, a councilor of the Madre Jerónima Federation of Monasteries of St. Clare.
Special request
Sister Ma. Amelia said the nuns had seen the relic during visits to their mother monastery in Rome, but the Poor Clares in the Philippines requested that the relic be brought to their 29 monasteries in the country for a more memorable celebration of the order's 800th founding anniversary.
The relic's Philippine tour was also timed with the 25th anniversary of the federation's establishment in the country.
"One way to make the occasion more significant and for us to get into some connectedness with the saint is to bring the relic [here]," Sister Ma. Amelia told the Inquirer on Wednesday. She spoke to this reporter from behind a screen window in the monastery's receiving area.
The relic's two-month visit would give Filipino Catholics a chance to know more about St. Clare—best known to Filipinos as the go-to saint when one wishes for fair weather—especially at the onset of the 40-day Lenten season, the nun said.
St. Clare, who gave up her noble stature and embraced a life of poverty in the service of Christ, embodies the message of the holy season, she said.
"She was a person who was really in touch with the passion of Christ. Her focus is also on conversion and change of heart, which is the message of Lent," Sister Ma. Amelia added.
Why eggs?
That message calls on Filipinos to focus on the "person of Christ, especially because everything is just temporary and nothing in this world is permanent and could bring us eternal happiness and richness," she added.
Many altar-bound couples traditionally troop to Monasterio de Sta. Clara on Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City, to pray for good weather on their wedding day through St. Clare's intercession. Their prayers usually come with an offering of eggs wrapped in colorful cellophane.
Sister Ma. Amelia said eggs came to be associated with the saint because her name—also spelled as Ciara, Claire or Clara—means "clear."
"So those who want to have clear skies, a clear mind or a clear conscience seek her intercession. It's also because the egg white is clear," she explained.
The practice of offering eggs dates back to the medieval times, she said. When nobles made donations to monasteries, the monks preferred eggs because of their many uses: the yolk for food and the white for making a strong adhesive for stone buildings.
'Shining light'
But unknown to many, St. Clare's life was foretold as a source of "shining light" even before she was born in July 1194, according to the nun.
In an age when maternal and infant deaths were high (most women were married off in their early teens), St. Clare's mother, Ortalana, fervently prayed to God for a safe delivery.
"Then she heard a voice telling her not to worry because the child she was going to give birth to will become a (source of) light. St. Clare indeed became a light to the world. Because of her, people were enlightened to do good, to give their life of service to the Church," said Sister Ma. Amelia.
"Despite abuses in the Church and the many problems it faced in the early times, St. Clare didn't doubt the Church … She professed loyalty to the Church."
Clare was born to a wealthy Roman family who in the 12th century owned many properties, including a palace in Assisi and a castle on Monte Subasio in Perugia, Umbria, in Central Italy. She grew up devoted to prayer and refused to be married off to a young and wealthy man at age 15.
Meeting Francis
At 18, she quietly left home to join an Italian friar who would be known in history as St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order.
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, Clare sought out St. Francis in secret and begged him to help her so she, too, "might live after the manner of the Holy Gospel." This was after the friar came to preach at the church of San Giorgio in Assisi during one Lenten season.
On the night of Palm Sunday, on March 20, 1212, she left home accompanied by an aunt and went to a chapel where, based on accounts, St. Francis and his followers shared a miraculous experience during a gathering: light beamed from their hands.
Upon reaching the chapel, she swapped her gilded dress for a rough brown tunic and a thick veil. St. Francis also cut off her hair as she made a pledge to serve Christ.
She later became an abbess of a female religious community that would include her sister, St. Agnes, and their mother. It was considered the second Franciscan Order to be established and became known as the Order of Poor Clares. It was renamed the Order of St. Clare by Pope Urban IV in 1263, 10 years after her death.
Clare was canonized by Pope Alexander IV on Aug. 15, 1255.
Here in 17th century
The Poor Clares came to the Philippines in the 17th century after a small community of Colettine nuns led by Mother Jeronima of the Assumption was authorized by the King of Spain and the Minister General of the Order to establish a monastery in the country.
Sister Ma. Amelia said the bone relic, a piece of Clare's cranium, was a fitting symbol of the Italian saint's reputation as "the brain" of the Church during her time.
At a time when men were generally in command, St. Clare fought for her ideals and wrote down her own "Rule" that focuses on poverty and simplicity, embodying the Rule of St. Francis. "She was the first woman to write a rule for a religious order. All the rest just depended on the rule of men," Sister Ma. Amelia said.
Here until April 30
After visiting 29 monasteries and several cathedrals around the Philippines, the relic will return to Monasterio de Sta. Clara for public viewing on April 23. It leaves the country on April 30.
Ronald Factor, who hails from Nueva Ecija, was among the lucky devotees who saw the relic during its short stay in Quezon City. A few minutes before the chapel closed on Tuesday night, Factor kissed the relic's glass casing while in deep prayer.
The 25-year-old man is set to enter the seminary in June. "I asked for divine intervention and for her guidance. I prayed that if she will appear in my dreams tonight, I will become a Franciscan," he said.
For Sister Florentina of the Daughters of Divine Zeal, whose convent is located near the monastery, being close to St. Clare's relic made her feel more connected with Jesus.
"She's a saint, and saints are close with Jesus, so I believe that the more I become close to her, the more I become close to Jesus," she said.

The time in Havana, Cuba
Havana, Cuba. – In Heart Cultural Mission is just seven years now, an idea of Fidel and Chavez carried out by Cuban collaborators trained as art instructors and professionals of culture.
That noble work was analyzed in the most recent edition of the Round table TV program by Anilia Moreno, president of the National Council of Houses of Culture, Silvina Fabars, National Dance Award, and instructors Lisette Martinez and Nemesio Omar Laferté.
Havana, Cuba.-At the end of the 2011-2013 three year-period life expectancy at birth of the Cuban population in general reached 78.45 years, a figure that places the island among the 25 nations of the world most advantaged in this important social indicator.
Master of Science Juan Carlos Alfonso, director of the Center for Population and Development Studies (CEPDE) of the National Office of Statistics and Information (ONEI), told the Granma newspaper that the aforementioned figure represents an increase of 0.48 with respect to the 2005-2007 period, when the average was 77.97 years.
Havana, Cuba.-Cuba's national baseball team will face the Baltimore Orioles of the Major League Baseball (MLB) this year, at a date yet to be defined.
The president of the Cuban Sports Institute (INDER), Antonio Becali, told the press that there will be an exhibition game with a team of the Orioles, which will take place on the island during 2015. Becali said that in recent months other organizations of the top baseball circuit in the U.S. have expressed their interest in playing with the Cuban team.

Acupuncture has been used in the Far East to restore, promote and maintain good health for over 2,500 years. The first needles were made from stone, and then later from bronze, gold and silver. The first medical text of acupuncture was 'The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine', which dates from around 300 BC. Acupuncture is an integral part of the rapid growth of complementary therapy in the UK. According to the Word Health Organisation, acupuncture has been proven to be effective in relieving postoperative pain, nausea during pregnancy, nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy, and dental pain with extremely low side effects. It can also alleviate anxiety, panic disorders and insomnia.
How it works
According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy – known as qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. The flow of qi can be disturbed by many factors, physical, mental and emotional: anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, poisons and trauma. By inserting fine needles in points along the channels, an acupuncturist can stimulate the body's own healing response and help to restore its natural balance.
Tongue and pulse
To discover how the energies are flowing in your body, the acupuncturist will feel your pulses on both wrists, noting their quality, rhythm and strength. The structure, colour and coating of your tongue also provide a guide to your physical health. The aim is to discover which energy channels need adjusting for your specific complaint to improve and which require treatment to boost your overall energy and vitality.
How long does it takes
This varies between patients. Most people have a course of treatment and usually notice changes after four to six sessions. Your acupuncturist will review your progress with you, and carefully monitor your treatment to ensure that it matches your needs.
What to expect
Your first consultation takes longer than subsequent sessions. This is because the acupuncturist needs to assess your general state of health in order to identify the underlying patterns of disharmony and give you the most effective treatment. You will be asked about your current symptoms and what treatment you have received so far, your medical history and that of your close family, your diet, digestive system, sleeping patterns and emotional state. Once enough information has been gathered to determine the likely causes of your problems, the acupuncturist can select the most appropriate treatment.
What does it feel like?
Acupuncture needles bear little resemblance to the needles used in injections and blood tests. They are much finer and solid, not hollow. When a needle is inserted, the sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache. Needles are inserted and left in place for thirty minutes or more, depending on the effect required. During treatment, patients commonly experience heaviness in the limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation. The benefits of acupuncture frequently include more than just relief from a particular condition. Many people find that it can also lead to increased energy levels, as well as better appetite and sleep, and an enhanced sense of overall wellbeing.
One of the most well known conditions acupuncture can treat is stress. In Chinese medicine theory, stress occurs when qi or blood doesn't move properly causing heat. Generally acupuncture works by inserting fine needles on specific points along a blocked meridian. These points are known as acupoints. By stimulating the qi in these specific acupoints, it is possible to unblock stagnate qi held in the meridian. This allows qi to move freely, uninhibited and relieves stress.
Diet can play an important factor in causing stress. For example, eating too much alcohol at those business meetings or fast food when you're on the go can cause damp heat, which affects the flow of qi and blood causing heat and stress.
Emotions play a great role in dis-ease formation and stress. Feeling depressed, irritable, under pressure or moody stagnates the qi causing blockages, heat and stress. After a prolonged period, an individual's character will be affected by the constant stress experienced and will be moulded into a lesser representation of them. In such cases, a person's character is not their true selves but a manifestation of their internal suffering. Acupuncture works not only on the stress itself, but also the internal emotional disharmony that's being experienced and helps to restore the person as a whole, both mind, body and spirit.
As you can see, acupuncture is more than just needles and is one part of a whole system of traditional healthcare dating back thousands of years that encompasses a wealth of knowledge.

China today formally congratulated Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi and sent a special message of goodwill expressing its desire to work with the new government to strengthen strategic and cooperative partnership with India.
The message was conveyed by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Indian Ambassador to China Ashok K Kantha, at a meeting here.
Wang's message pertained to expanding ties and exchanges between the two countries, official sources said, declining to disclose the details.
The meeting assumed significance as it is the first official-level contact between the two countries after the BJP's victory in the general election.
Chinese foreign ministry sources told PTI today that Modi was expected to be officially greeted by the Chinese leadership after he is sworn in as Prime Minister on May 26.
Foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying had earlier issued a statement congratulating Modi on May 17 soon after the election results were announced.
Wang requested Ambassador Kantha to convey congratulations from the Chinese leadership to Modi, an Indian Embassy press release here said.
"He added that the Chinese Government is willing to work with India to strengthen the strategic and cooperative partnership," the release said.
Wang also expressed appreciation for the contribution made by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to India-China relations over the last 10 years, it said.
While the protocol-conscious Chinese establishment waited for a formal moment for its leadership to establish contact with Modi, the official media here carried several articles praising his leadership and projected a bright future for Sino-Indian relations under his leadership.
The articles recalled Modi's close association with China as chief minister of Gujarat and his four visits here scouting for investments.
Most of the over USD 900 million worth of Chinese investments in India have been made in Gujarat.

Syria blames rebels for Houla massacre
BEIRUT Syria on Thursday blamed up to 800 rebel fighters for the massacre in central Syria last week that killed more than 100 people, nearly half of them children, in its most comprehensive explanation to date of the bloodshed.
The narrative starkly contradicted accounts of witnesses who blamed "shabiha" or the shadowy gunmen who operate on behalf of President Bashar Assad's regime. The U.N. also said it had strong suspicions those pro-regime gunmen were responsible for much of the carnage on Friday in a cluster of villages known as Houla.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., dismissed the Syrian investigation's conclusion as "another blatant lie," telling reporters in New York "there is no factual evidence ... that would substantiate that rendition of events."
Facing international outrage over the killings, Damascus launched its own investigation into the deaths and announced that special prayers for the victims would be held at mosques across the country on Friday. The U.N. chief warned of civil war and pleaded with the regime to stop its attacks.
At a news conference Thursday, Qassem Jamal Suleiman, who headed the government's investigation into the massacre, categorically denied any regime role. He said hundreds of rebel gunmen carried out the slaughter after launching a coordinated attack on five security checkpoints.
The aim, he said, was to frame the government and to ignite sectarian strife in Syria.
"Government forces did not enter the area where the massacre occurred, not before the massacre and not after it," he said, adding that the victims were families who refused to oppose the government or carry arms.
A Houla-based opposition activist said it was clear that there had been no government investigation.
"The regime is looking for ways to justify the massacre to the world," said Saria al-Houlany. "It's clear that there wasn't any professional probe. ... If we had 800 fighters in Houla, this massacre would not have happened," he said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said the aim was to create sedition in Syria.
"There are people in dark rooms working night and day to target Syria ... and the way to do it is to ignite civil strife," he told reporters at the same news conference. "They will not succeed."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sunday called for "a transparent, independent and impartial international investigation" so those responsible for the massacre can be held accountable.
Rice, the U.S. ambassador, said the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council is discussing a resolution that would establish an independent investigation to ensure that facts are established so the perpetrators can be prosecuted.
The Houla massacre was one of the deadliest incidents since the uprising against Assad's hardline regime started in March last year. Activists say about 13,000 have been killed in 15 months.
The area is still under attack. The government focused its shelling Thursday on the Houla village of al-Tibeh. The activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that some residents fled to nearby towns and villages "fearing a new massacre" as the area again came under fire.

A miracle in a jar! This has been one of my favorite products for years and has done wonders for my hair. It's thick and creamy and perfect for a once a week treat for your hair or to put back moisture after a protein treatment. It's usually only 6 or 7 dollars and well worth every penny!

I love using this product! It provides moisture that is on par with high-end masks and conditioners that cost much, much more than this. It gives great slip and detangles like a dream, leaves my hair positively silky all the way down to the ends. Reduces frizz, adds shine and manageability. Lovely scent and texture as well.
It's only about $6 but the container is small (6oz. jar) so you don't get a lot of product, that's my only complaint. This works beautifully, will repurchase again and again!

Okay so I was looking for a good cheap mask , me being a hairdresser something about this product made me think it was okay to use ! And my intuition struck true ! Usually when my hair is dry I'll put some of the masks on the pieces of my hair I feel are the dryest( my fried bangs!!!) , then after 10 minutes or so I'll shampoo , condition , and then reapply the mask all over my wet hair for about 5 minutes . The results are amazing my hair feels super soft and shiny and lasts about 5 days or until I have to wash my hair again! It has turned my dry thick hair into lustrous shiny silky hair !! I have been pairing this with the hair finity and cvs hair skin and nails pills and my hair is growing rapidly !!! I love this product ! Even down to the smell!! I am afraid though to leave it on over night , due to the way the product works so well in little time . I think that it will cause breakage if left over night due to overproteinization ! I never tried but won't test it out !! love this product anyone with over processed , colored hair , dry hair I reccommend highly !!!!

I absolutely love this product! By far my favorite drugstore hair mask. My hair is long, medium to thick straight and dry. This does the job really well. It saves you from trimming your ends. Within my first use of this my hair was soft, no tangles and it was very manageable to work with. It makes your hair look healthy, I will definitely keep on buying this product.

I was hoping for good results because of the positive reviews. The only good thing about this product for me, was the price. I used it on my hair before and after bleaching it. Prior to bleaching, I had healthy and strong brown hair, and when I used it, it did nothing for me. After double bleach process, my hair obviously fried and severely damaged--again did nothing. Better results with other deep conditioners.

Anti-frizz products normally don't work for my hair, especially in the New York humidity. But this mask does the unthinkable, and actually works to decrease my frizz a little bit. It's not totally gone, but my hair is moisturized and much smoother.
The only problem is that it comes in a jar -- to keep the top layer from getting sticky, you need to make sure you shut the jar firmly every time you open it. There also isn't a lot of product in one jar -- I went through it pretty quickly (about a month and a half), and it's very rare that I get through hair products at all.

I'm almost at the bottom of the jar and this was a disappointment.
I used it as directed on my highlighted hair as a mask and also just as a regular conditioner. It doesn't feel heavy or make my hair greasy which was good, only I think my hair might even be drier, which is bad...next!

I grew up in Stamford, CT and traveled home for the holiday season with my wife Gabriele. Stamford is only about 40 miles from New York City, so when we visit we try to get into the city.
Right after Christmas we went in to see Rent Off-Broadway at the New World stage (good show). We went in early to give ourselves time to enjoy dinner before the show. Earlier in December we did some online searching for a good place to go, since the theater district isn't known as the best culinary destination in NYC. A few years ago we ate at Scarlotto's which was fine but nothing special, though we were introduced to a nice Barbera.
Just a little time on Yelp uncovered a large number of positive reviews for Trattoria Trecolori, on West 47th Street. We had an excellent meal, and the owner working that evening made an excellent Barbera recommendation.
It was a Prunotto Mompertone 2006, a Barbera/Syrah blend from the Piedmont region of Italy. We'd never had a Barbera blend before, and it was very enjoyable. The wine had a fresh, earthy nose and the trademark tart cherry fruit we expect from a Barbera. The Syrah added some body and richness not usually typical in a Barbera, and for us the package worked very nicely. The wine wasn't light or heavy, and was a good match for our dinners. It was also offered at a fair mark up, especially by NYC standards.
Our food was very good. If you like tomato and mozzarella appetizers, I'd highly recommend Trecolori's version with eggplant added to the mix. Gabriele really enjoyed her squid ink pasta with seafood, and my Veal Sorrentino was a very good example of a classic Italian entree. The atmosphere was bright and lively, the prices fair and the service was excellent.
Two small nits on the service, one of which I should have seen coming. Our entrees arrived 30 seconds after we finished our apps. I really dislike that when having a nice meal out, but I'd not considered this was a theater district restaurant. Many diners who come in probably want and need that quick turn to make their shows. I mentioned this to our server Mark, who was a pleasure to deal with and he suggested letting them know ahead of time when you don't have to rush to make your curtain.
The only other thing was not replacing silverware after the first course. Other than that, we had a fine dining experience as well as enjoyed a good show. Trattoria Trecolori doesn't force you to compromise the former for the latter, and I'd recommend the restaurant when you're doing a Big Apple dinner and show night. Just let them know if you have enough time to not rush through your meal.

Hi there,
I'm trying to reach out to moms of mixed kids. I'm of east indian origin and new mom of a precious 6 month old baby boy:-) Looking forward to making connections, sharing stories and experiences!!
Hi Anne!
My DH is of East Indian origin also and I am white. DS1 is 3 1/2 and DS2 has just turned 1.
Hi there! Lovely to make your acquaintance:) Congratulations to the proud mommy of two boys. My 6 month old leaves me exhausted, so I'm quite in awe of anyone who has more than one kid;-) lol. Looking forward to sharing wild stories and growing pains of the little ones.
warm regards,
I have 4....though not East Indian. Sudanese :) Unfortunately (in my eyes) Daddy has worked long hours up till recently and the children do NOT speak any other language than English. DH speaks Arabic plus some regional dialect (I don't know the name, that's what he tells me it is--'tribal' or 'regional') And he also speaks some Hindi from 11 years spent in India. I'd *love* for the kids to be able to talk to their own relatives.....*sigh* he is starting to come around.
I think it's the cutest thing...the two middle kids since Daddy has been home more, they are starting to pretend to speak Arabic on the phone LOL it's cute "I'm talking to Uncle!" (that's another cultural thing, it's not Mr. so-and-so, it's Uncle) they're totally not really speaking it though, they know "Salaam alaikum" and then they totally just jabber but it's ADORABLE because they are loud just like him and get the intonation right lol
lovin DH since 1/04, best mom for my 3 boys 10/04, 11/08, 11/10 one girlie (1/07), one 13 wk (10/13) and 5/15 just your average multigenerational living family!!
Peaceful Mama, we have had the same issue. Dh is Ethiopian, speaks 5 languages. He was thrilled when the kids and I started learning the trade language of his country, but really doesn't feel he has the time to participate or the ability to teach. :( I was encouraged though, when dh called his family and spoke in his language, the children loooooved to listen and the oldest told me that it felt like a familiar language to him, though he doesn't know it.
my dh feels the same way working too much no time to teach. I told him he just needs to TALK TO THEM :P just like he does to all his friends kids who both parents speak Arabic and they only speak English at school :P grr but anyway he is trying now.
lovin DH since 1/04, best mom for my 3 boys 10/04, 11/08, 11/10 one girlie (1/07), one 13 wk (10/13) and 5/15 just your average multigenerational living family!!
I'm a mixed kid myself (half Asian, half white), so my DD is...a big ol' blender mix girl..but overall, she looks white.
i'm white, dh is black&white, so dd is a little mixed ;) before she was born we would call her our mocha baby, but besides having a wide 'black' nose [that was basically cut off daddy's face and stuck to hers : P ], she looks white :)
baby-dancin like crazy for #2 since july[darn that bf'ing! ]
no whey!
Does adoption count? Dh, ds and I are lily white and dd is a very obvious Latina. :D We're not sure if she's also AA mixed--there are a number of things that make us and her drs. think she may be. We speak some French and my inlaws only speak Italian. The worst is that I can't keep the three Roman-based languages straight. They're so similar that I constantly get them mixed up... so thankfully we have "adopted" the Mexican family on the block that help us with Spanish for the kids! (Hey--just because *I* can't keep them straight doesn't mean the kids will have the same problem!)

Have Enduro bikes evolved in the past 20-years?
I recently asked a local Husqvarna dealer: Which of his bikes he felt provided the most bang for the buck in the dirt? He responded that, if he was down to one bike for personal use, it would probably be the Husqvarna WR125.
off-road contingency support.
The U.S. 2-stroke Enduro market is currently dominated by European manufacturers: KTM/Husaberg, Husqvarna, GasGas, TM, Beta. With only the KTM 150XC, and the Husqvarna WR125 catering to the U.S. small-bore 2-stroke Enduro market.
With the exception of the 2013 Yamaha YZ125, and the minis (KX100, RM85, YZ85); the Japanese manufacturers have given up on 2-strokes for the US Market; and have not produced a 2-stroke Enduro bike since the '06 KDX200, '98RMX250, and '97WR250.
Bump on any debate on 4-strokes vs. 2-strokes... or the KTM200EXC vs. a YZ144... or if a 144cc overbore is worth gaining 2HP :rofl
The KTM 150XC and the WR125 (comes w/ 144cc kit) engines are derived from the 125cc engine. Both use a single-backbone CrMo steel frame. A fuel-tank that saddles the single-tube backbone often provides a lower center-of gravity than a perimeter style frame.
I did a bit of research to find a Japanese dirt bike that was similar to the current Husqvarna WR125 design: CrMo Single-tube backbone (similar dimensions and steering geometry); 2-stroke motor ('square' bore x stroke) with reed valve intake, mechanical exhaust power valve; open-cartridge USD forks.
:eek1 The 1997 Honda CR125R was the last year of the CrMo frame and arguably had the most powerful CR125 engine ever made. Honda ceased making 2-stroke dirt bikes in 2007. Yamaha still imports the YZ125. Although still available outside the USA; by 2007 Kawasaki and Suzuki stopped importing the KX and RM model.
Yamaha YZ125 '96 to '01 steel frame (Green Sticker) and '05 to current '13 aluminum frame (Red Sticker) are the most popular 125cc for Enduro conversion. Many say the YZ motor is the 'most-tractable' or 'least peaky', but in the 125cc context that observation may be relative. Common mods are a Steahly flywheel weight, and Athena 144cc big-bore kit. '02-'04 YZ125 had a 5-speed transmission. Punt on debate on 5-speed vs. 6-speed. The YZ PSS suspension is considered much more 'sophisticated' than the KTM or Husqvarna components. 'Sophisticated' may be in the MX context and not the off-road/trail environment.
The KX125 were imported until '07, RM125 were imported to the US until '08. Both the KX125 and RM125 had steel frames. Regarding weight difference: AMA rules is the primary driver. KTM linkage-less PDS suspension and steel frame design produced lighter bikes. As far as motors: the Hybrid sub-culture of KX engines in CR frames may be a indicator of best of breed.
A 125cc 2-stroke Enduro hasn't evolved much in the past 20-years. Explanations: Manufacturer R&D investment in 2-stroke technology; limitations in weight, suspension, and chassis design for the off-road environment: ability to effectively put HP/Torque to the ground in a wide range of traction conditions.
So what's all this chatter on the dirt-bike forums about 2-strokes making a come-back? ( do you follow Superhunky? ) KTM/Husaberg leads in 2-stroke R&D investment. Yamaha seems to still be committed as they were in the 70's vs. Honda 4-stroke bias; but the YZ line changes at a glacial pace relative to KTM. Husqvarna simply has less R&D funds, so they reuse technology from their emission compliant models: as a result some of the Husqvarna technology is criticized as a little long in the tooth. Comparing the differences between a 20-year old 2-stroke 125cc motocrosser and a current Husqvarna WR125 seems to be appropriate.
125cc 2-strokes are arguably much less expensive to rebuild than their 4-stroke brethren. 125cc 2-strokes are easy to find since most riders are trading-up to 250cc 4-strokes. In California: Green-sticker 2-strokes are the most desirable. I hit CraigsList and discovered that a pre-aluminum perimeter frame Honda CR125 can be found for under $1000.
Is a Japanese 125cc 2-stroke viable for Enduros (F.I.M. E1 class)? For the 'Hobby class' in Europe a used 125cc MX bike modified (lighting kit, protection) for Enduros are very common, and may provide an inexpensive alternative. Note: Although proven on the 250cc engines, the debate continues on the advantage of flywheel weight on the 125cc engines. For similar reasons, a gutless bottom-end that is difficult to improve, FMF doesn't market a Gnarly pipe for the 1/8 liter bikes. Just fan the clutch and keep the revs in the powerband!
The similarities between a 2013 Husqvarna WR125 and a 1992-1997 Honda CR125R are quite revealing:

4th	1.35	1.285

5th	1.18	1.13

6th	1	1

Final	50/13	49/12

The steering geometry specifications, weight, and dimensions imply that the 1997 CR125 was more nimble than the current 2013 WR125. The transmission gear ratios reveal the CR125 had a wider gear ratio range compared to the WR125. I'm not convinced that the 30 lbs. difference in dry weight can be accounted for in the WR125 lighting equipment and kickstand.
Clarke and IMS make larger fuel tanks for both models; the pre '95 Honda CR125 is equipped with a 100/100-18 rear wheel which is a direct swap for the '96+ 19" MX rim; and Enduro equipment (Skid plate, pipe guard, hand guards) are readily available from the after-market. Suspension tuning will get the cartridge forks and rear shock sorted for off-road riding.
When was the last time you rode a sub-200 lbs. bike that revs to the moon; and cost less than a grand? It's just too much fun!
The objective of this effort is to get the 'best bang for the buck': Can you get a great Enduro ride without breaking the bank?: A budget of $2000 or less or do you have to fork out $6000+ for current 4-stroke (or a KTM or Husqvarna 2-stroke).
So this kicks off the 1997 CR125 Project... yes, we've got one! and already have it converted to Enduro spec just in time for the January 20th, 2013 Prairie City Grand Prix.
1998 Husqvarna WR125 received the Marzocchi 45mm USD Cartridge Forks.
1998-2010 CR125/SM/WR/WRE125 share same Wossner piston and Top-end rebuild kits;
1998-2012 CR125/WR125 use the same conrod
Same bore x stroke: but cylinders have different part numbers through the years.
38mm Mikuni TMX. 1999-2012 use same intake manifold.
ProCircuit makes the same pipe for 1999-2004. FMF designed the same Fatty Pipe for 2000-2002 models; 2003-2006
All had 6-speed transmissions. 2000-2011 Clutch is same as 1986-1999 Honda CR125
Brake caliper pad are same rear 1998-2009; Same front 1998-2004 then 2005-2009.
I'll have to leave it to y'all to figure out the significant changes from 1998 to 2013. Here's a link to the evolution of Husqvarna 125cc bikes: http://www.motodacross.com/husqvarna/cr125.htm?a
================================================== ====
$7096 Eye candy: 2012 HM Moto CRE 125R
Utilizes 2007 Honda CR125 frame, porting, NiCaSil cylinder, and transmission with compression ratio bumped up to 12.5:1. Dell'Orto VHST 28 carburetor (same as Aprilia RS125), ignition map selector switch, Acerbis plastics, Blackbird graphics, Vertex pistons, Maestroni expansion chamber, LeoVince silencer, Domino controls, SuperSprox sprockets. Options for Paoili 41mm or Kayaba 46mm USD fork; 'wave' brake rotors, and electric start.
HM Moto choked down the carburetor from a 38mm Mikuni TMX down to a 28mm Dell'Orto VHST to meet Euro 3 emission standards and be street legal. Note the e-start displaced left side kick start and right side chain.
You seem to make a lot of assumptions based on spec sheets.
There is more to a motorcycle than a spec sheet, some bikes look great on paper but shit in the flesh, and some bikes should be crap according to the specs, but seem to work really well.
Ride a 93 bike and a current bike and get back to us.:deal
The CR was not a "shit in the flesh" machine,it was somewhat peaky for enduro but as he says a flywheel conversion may help this problem.I myself would love a real world comparison of the two and actually think his research may be well founded.Outside the usual brakes and rotor upgrade and both machines with no fuel injection I must be missing something that you see?
The most glaring upgrade would suggest suspension, the CR has more travel but might need a re-valve or lighter spring but the components are fairly comparable.
I almost bought a Wr 250 otd for 5500 but I have enough loans and trying to pay my debt down and dont want anymore payments.Hopefully When I do ge tin a better situation They will still be there and affordable for 5700-6000 as I will not pay 8 grand for a dirtbike that wont be worth 2 grand in 3-5 years.THis sport is getting off the knucking futz hook and is getting really really redicoulously unaffordable.I wanted it street legalized and in the peoples republic of nj where there is already to many godamned laws and regulations Im told its a grey area .meaning if you get someone in DMV that doesnt know it will get thru and vice versa.This is too much of a crap shoot for me.They tried to sell me a te 310 Im like Nope dont want a 4 stroke already have an Aprilia RXV and it worries me because if it blows up it will cost6 grand for a new mill which I neither have and neither will pay for .Yes my Ape still runs but if it blows up it will be a very silent and expensive boat anchor sitting in the backof the garage as i will not fix it.maybe Ill stick a cr 500 engine in it:D
Yamaha has really upgraded 2 stroke technology but uses it only on their snow machines not on bikes. Perhaps Husky's new 300 2T in 2014 will get them all thinking about this again. just watch the endurocross circuit or chk out the weekend warriors on Michigan single track. Many of them are still keeping or going BACK TO 2Ts:clap. Why not run a 200 KTM? It seems to meet all your needs and already has good torque.
Those Huskys aren't too far off from their original designs from Cagiva, when was that, the1980s? :lol3
We had a 09 WR125, boosted to a 144 with Eric Gorr porting for top end. Ran great. Suspension was pretty awesome with just proper springs.
Our current "old" bike is a nearly new 1999 KTM 125SX with new gen forks, shock, wheels, brakes and proper valving for GNCC. It does everything very well. It is a rocket too.
If you want the latest development in a mainstream 2t, the new KTMs are it. Bottom line though, the rider makes a bigger difference and a well tuned and fresh older bike can compete. Our 2002 380SX was competeting at a very high level last year and was far too much motor for tight hare scrambles. After the holeshot it was a bear to deal with. That rider is on the old 125 now.
Last time I checked, the WR Huskys were on the list of approved street legal bikes in NJ. :evil
Did you pick the CR over a YZ simply because of the California regulations?
////Love where this is going. I have been thinking about a lightweight 2 stroke to boost my woods smiles to miles ratio.
Conventional wisdom says KDX, but I want a) super lightweight and b) a project!. I've looked at DSing a KX100 - they are only 157 lb (rivaling a trials bike!) but they don't have full size wheels (19/16),
The Husky definitely seems overweight- it's about the same as a KDX200 /220 @ 220 lb. Why bother with the Husky, when you could throw some KX USD forks on a KDX, get a suspension revalve, and have a much more tractable engine ad the same weight for way way less than a new Husky.
The current technology developments on 2-strokes are turbocharging and EFI. We'll throw it electric start :lol3 . In 2009 TM Racing announced they would release a EFI 2-stroke... but as of today TM Racing 125/144 still have the Keihin PWK 38.
Why not run a KTM200? Read on... (besides we already have one but want to constrain ourselves play within the F.I.M. EWC E1 rules).
Examining the current EWC and Extreme series.: The E1 class is dominated by 250cc 4-strokes since 2-strokes are limited to 125cc. E2 class is split between 450cc 4-strokes and 250cc 2-strokes. Similar to E2, EnduroCross has become the domain of the 350 4-stroke.
But in the E3 class and Extreme/Hard series, despite the availability of >450cc 4-strokes, this class is dominated by the 300cc 2-strokes.
Unlike the late 70's and early '80s when there was frequent experimentation through trial & error, and rapid advances in both 2-stroke engine and suspension development, dirt bike technology in the last 20-years has plateaued. Most of the recent developments have focused on utilizing lighter or stronger materials to permit designs with more efficient mass centralization around the engine, or repositioning the motor to improve handling.
2-stroke engine development have been limited since the perfection of 'snail' exhaust chamber design, exhaust power-valves, reed blocks, and flat slide electronic TPS and Accelerator pump enabled carburetors became available and affordable (economies of scale) to the general market. One motorsport that continues to push the development in 2-stroke engines is karting: SwedeTech and link to National Karting News article on the CR125 Moto class.
The new frontier for 2-strokes is in EFI, and turbocharging. EFI R&D is driven by stricter emission regulations. Public perception of emission issues from 2-strokes still favor EFI R&D for 4-strokes. Turbocharging may not be viable for dirt bikes due to additional weight and heat generation. We expected TM to release an EFI 2-stroke in 2009. There's rumour of Husqvarna EFI 2-strokes in 2014.
Honda's release of aluminium twin-spar frames in 1997 followed by Yamaha in 2005 against KTM/Husaberg retention of CrMo single backbone frames imply that the verdict isn't out on the advantages of aluminium frames. Disadvantages are: additional weight to achieve equivalent torsional strength, which resulted in excessive rigidity in the early over-built aluminium frames.
Rising linkage single shock rear suspension have reached the limits of development, and are subject to the 'Law of Diminishing Returns'. Suspension evolution seems to reveal the open-cartridge forks are better suited for off-road, and the closed-cartridge forks are generally preferred in MX. Many of the suspension improvements are already known (reducing unsprung weight, geometries, rigidity, reducing stiction), but availability to the market is constrained by cost. The KYB Pneumatic Fork Spring and associated technologies as used by Fox in MTB shocks, are still pending market response.
I find the GasGas EC300 easier to be a 'lazy rider' over the KTM 200EXC; but that doesn't mean faster. The CR125R sorted out may be a faster woods bike than the KDX200 we've owned; we shall see...
The 1997 CR125R has been described as the most powerful CR125 motor, and is the last year of the 1992-1997 CrMo steel frame, In 1998 Honda adopted the aluminum frame (1997 for the CR250R) and a 5-speed transmission.
The YZ125 is still imported to the US.
I have an 09 husky wr300. Been riding dirt bikes since 1977. I used to have a 87 husky cr250 among many bikes. Have ridden all the more recent bikes, ktm 300, yz 250, honda cr250, gas gas 300 etc. To this day I have not ridden a bike with the suspension/handlnig and stability as my 87 cr250. The power was right there with todays bikes too. It felt hevier than my 09 though for sure. But, unless your a faster intermediate rider or above you can spend maybe 2500 on an older dirt bike. Tune it and get suspension dialed in and you can easily keep up with the rich shlubs all day long on theier 8-9k ktm 300's. Take the money you saved and go to some Steve wise classes or something. My 01 cr250 had that "holy shit" kind of power that would put any of the new bikes to shame. As a matter of fact service honda uses toe 01 motor in its new cr 250's. Newer isn't always better
I could give 2 shits about emissions the way this country is going w jobs is by the time the greens have there way were are gonna be too poor to afford anything forget about green technology at that point.Years ago In my town we had the right to know act,we all called it right to blow act to be funny but when it was over I pulled the health officer/administrator of the town who gave the class.I asked her why Russia hasnt done anything about its pollution problems,she replied the people have to eat first and dont worry about pollution until much much later in the game.I see 10 years later from that class that if we stay on this current socialist over governed path we will be in the same ill fated place.I might be wrong but the middle class cant keep getting cornholed like we are.Ill have to check into the husky wr from another dealer,either they will have it go out the door street legal or it will be no sale.there will be no well maybe or maybe not.
You maybe getting older and can't ride as hard as you used too :wink: :D
Lets see your cr! The light weight had me interested in one but found that the hig revs required cancelled out the two stroke stealth factor needed around here.
That CRE125 you posted sent me on a wild goose chase when you stated it was a honda motor with electric start. It must be a rotax instead like whats used in the 125cc aprilia models.
So when are you going to fill us on on your mods?
A 94 CR125 just popped up locally for $600....tempting.
Sum bitch, best thread I've read in quite a while. I'm no stranger to the smokers, use to race them long before they had silencers on the pipes.....:wink: I recently picked up two $100.00 dirt bikes. The first a 96 RM125 with nothing resembling compression. Threw a top end, fluid swap, carb clean etc and sent it down the road to a local kid.
The second bike is a 98 YZ125. Was barn fresh with plenty of compression. Fluids swap, carb clean.......etc. I think I paid as much for the graphics kit as I did the bike :lol3
Anywho. One thing i've been painfully reminded of over the years is the fun factor is not directly proportianal to the amount of money you spend. On any given day I've at least 20 or more bikes. Including the latest greatest orange bikes. The bikes that were loaded in the back of the van a few hours ago , in preparation for this weeks 2 day moto getaway include the above mentioned 98 YZ125 and a free Chinese 50cc Scooter ( wifeys beater) But hey, My new bikes look super trick parked in front of the shop.............:rofl
The 1997 CR125 with a FMF Turbine Silencer tested quieter (87.1 dB) than my GasGas EC300 with an FMF Q-Stealth silencer. Here's the sound check results from CA OHV sound tests. The 4-strokes are much louder.
The 125 is a blast to ride... it's a 'mini' that demands you ride WFO! and maintain momentum; but sucks on hills and deep mud.
As far as lighweight bikes are concerned. We prefer our trials bikes when it gets really gnarly.
We took the opposite approach - Keep it simple (K.I.S.S.) and not go overboard. This is Project Low Bucks! : http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo.../twofinger.gif We held a yard sale, sold a bunch of spare parts, useless farkles, and used riding gear on CraigsList to raise the funds to purchase this 1997 CR125R also listed on Craigslist. We've kept the project budget under $1000 before the first 50-hrs. top-end rebuild.
We didn't want to be wrenching - we had to go riding!
We discovered that a proper Trials bike with additional fuel range is much more capable; in fact, as the Europeans know, a Trials bike is superior to any other bike in very tight and gnarly tracks. Trials bikes regularly outperformed MX based 250cc 2-st/450cc 4-st in Endurocross and were banned after the 2007 season.
Lessons Learned: When we want to attempt to show up our fellow riders in gnarly terrain and hill climbs; we ride our Trials bikes over our GasGAS EC300, KTM200EXC, or this CR125R. Side note: I still keep a Husqvarna TE450 as a 'desert sled' but prefer a KTM450EXC (RFS) I previously owned; or better yet a Husaberg FE470E which I should have kept; BUT I would never consider taking any of these thumpers into gnarly terrain when I have the lighter 2-strokes.
Here are a few videos that are quite revealing:
