[How To] Use your QNAP to enable iTunes Home Sharing
Note: This is for x86 only! Sorry, no ARM solution for now!
Like many folks, I have been trying to find the right/affordable solution to enable Apple iTunes Home Sharing feature on QNAP, so that my Apple TV 2, iPad, and iPhone can stream the music & photos & videos. It's especially cool that you can use your phone or iPad as a remote control (downloaded the 'Remote' App from AppStore) to stream whatever the content to anywhere using Home Sharing and AirPlay features.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do it, and you will probably never see QNAP to implement this Home Sharing feature. Part of the reason is that Apple and Movie/Music studios control how you distribute music to your remote/mobile devices. As of today, you must use your PC or Mac to have iTunes running at all time and turn on Home Sharing feature. I think most of the folks think like me that this is not the ideal situation because it's really a waste to just use a dedicated PC/Mac to be a iTunes Home Sharing server device.
To do that, Philippe made this possible, kudos to Philippe. He has done a lot of great work packaging VirtualBox 4.0.8 that allows you to run Windows XP virtual machine inside of your QNAP. Note: this is still in beta. But, so far, I haven't found any issues.
1st, this is for x86 only because VirtualBox does not support ARM.
2nd, it's strongly recommended that you have Dual Core Atom and upgrade QNAP's RAM to 2GB
3rd, go to this thread for instruction on how to install VirtualBox QPKG. viewtopic.php?f=255&t=45982
4th, after VirtualBox is successfully installed, now you can add a Virtual Machine by installing WindowsXP using ISO image.
5th, you must use Bridged mode to enjoy all the layer 2 LAN Home Sharing features. Please go to this thread on how to do this. viewtopic.php?f=255&t=46682
6th, Optimize your Windows XP to very minimum, so that it can keep both Windows VM CPU and QNAP CPU utilization to relatively low. Google search on how to optimize Windows XP. Since this is my dedicated iTunes Home Sharing server, I turned off firewall, I don't intend to use this VM to download anything or browse internet or open any email or documents.
7th, install VNC (optional). I find VNC server response faster and smoother than RDP, especially for the mouse. It's your choice.
8th, install iTunes on your Windows VM. Make sure you have already mapped your Windows VM to QNAP share/Multimedia or your Music folder (Preferably, the mapped Drive letter would match that on your real PC's mapping). Open iTunes, go in to Advance tab under Preference, and tell iTunes's Media Library is not in VM's C drive, but point it to your new mapped QNAP's share/Multimedia folder. Then, close iTunes.
9th, if you have a PC, and if you have been pointing your Media Library to QNAP server, then copy (overwrite) everything (ex: iTunes Music Library.xml, iTunes Library.itl, Album Artwork, etc..) except your music, MP3, Movies, and Podcast (these should be stored in QNAP anyway) into your Windows VM's My Music/iTunes folder.
10th, now open iTunes in your Windows VM, your iTunes should now see exactly what you saw in your real Windows PC.
11th, turn off Home Sharing in your real Windows PC, and then turn on Home Sharing in your Windows VM.
12th, it will take 1 -3 mins for Apple TV/iPhone to discover there's a new Home Sharing Library from Windows VM. Now, you can stream music and videos from Windows VM using Home Sharing to your iPhone/iPad/Apple TV 2, and use your iPhone/iPad as the remote control to your Apple TV as to what album streamed to Apple TV with Photo Sharing from iTunes as well for Screen Saver!!!
13th, enjoy!

so basicly I've played a bit with the EFI entries using the tool efibootmgr, and after a reboot I get the Lenovo splash screen where I normally would be able to press F2 for BIOS/EFI settings and F12 for the boot manager but both don't work anymore. It boots over and over, and the progress bar at the bottom doesn't even finish.
Pressing the OKS key does nothing and just is the same as powering on, and I've disassembled the notebook to look for a BIOS/EFI chip but didn't find any (does it even have one?). What could I do? Any way to completely reset it?
OK someone in the german forums had the same problem, he couldnt press F2/F12 but he could boot Windows which was still installed and reflash the BIOS/EFI, so the hardware is not defect. My OS however is defect so I can't boot into it.
Would it be possible to remove the hard drive so that it would then look for the next possible device to boot from and would, without the HDD, boot from an usb drive? Then I could reinstall Windows, flash BIOS/EFI etc. ...
OK so I've tried all what I said and it doesn't work. I even reinstalled Windows on the hard drive from my desktop computer (disassembled the laptop, put the hard drive into my desktop, installed Win and put it in the laptop again). Doesn't work, so EFI/BIOS seems borked. Anything I can do or is it time to say goodbye?

Have you tried recovering it using this method?
Seems like your situation is exactly the same as in the tutorial.
Hope it works and it would be great to hear from you again and see if that method really works (hardest part might be finding an working XP 32bit...).
Hello... d2kx..
I am having the same problem... did you fix you computer!

If Geno Smith Is On The Board.......
Posted January 19, 2013
Do the Eagles take him? After all of the talk about how Foles doesn't fit the offense do the Eagles pull the trigger? At first glance Smith sort of fits the mold. He has good size for an NFL prospect, he is mobile and was in a high octane offense at West Virginia. Watching him in the game verses Syracuse I wasn't all that impressed with him though. His stats are a little inflated, and he works primarily out of Shotgun. Still after watching all of these rookie and young quarterbacks running some variant of Chip Kelly's offense and make the playoffs had me wondering if the Eagles could afford to pass at the chance of taking the kid. True the team has holes in many areas, but in the NFL you don't win if you don't have the quarterback. The Mike Vick journey has shown us this. When he's good so are the Eagles. When he's bad..... 4-12. I think the Eagles have to roll the dice to keep pace with the division. Get the quarterback if he's there.

At 4 I think Kelly may have to take a chance on him but we don't know who else is out there that Kelly may have some interest in. Maybe he sends his old QB Darron Thomas an invite into camp, maybe their is a young mobile QB he thinks he can work with he can get via trade or later in the draft or maybe he thinks his QB is already on the roster (although I don't see that). If he has a chance to get Geno Smith and passes do the Eagles struggle looking for their guy the next couple years. If he has a chance to get his type of QB this year than that is how he needs to start his first season off whether it's Geno Smith or whoever he thinks it may be.
If I were him I think I would rather go with a passing type QB than a runner. The running guys always seem to breakdown. From Cunningham to McNabb, to Vick the all were lost for extended periods of time due to injuries.not saying Foles is the future. I don't know, but I would take the passer over the runner.
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
name a running qb on any team that doesn't get injured more than a pocket passer qb? Seriously! The running QB crap has been tried in Philly more than every where else in the league. I am so fraking tired of it!!!!
QB s that get/got injured a lot are as follows: Vick, McNabb, rg3, Cunningham, colpepper , Steve young, (who else has been a running QB) not very many more right!!
I know what you mean but I've gotten spoiled with the mobile QBs a bit so I wouldn't mind if Kelly finds another one. It is scary knowing what happened to Griffin III in his first season but so many teams want that versatility anymore it's hard to think about the Eagles without that threat. If Foles turns out to be a good QB than so be it...I'm rooting for him. We just don't know what Kelly actually wants.
I hope Foles can become one of the best. Part is going to be on him and part on Kelly. If Kelly is as smart as they make him out to be then he should find a way to work it out.
EZ I wouldnt call McNabb a running QB. He was a pass first run when you have to QB. I watched film of Geno Im convinced he will be picked early. If the chiefs wont take him I think the Raiders would. If you dont like Vick and apparently you think he sucks, even though other coaches in the NFL are willing to pay for him, who do you sugeest if we cant get Geno. I gave you some names of Qbs earlier that I researched. The kid out of Clemson looks good. Ill look some more. I If we are looking for Qbs then Foles should be ruled out because we need a veteran presence. It wouldnt hurt to hold onto Vick and Foles and get rid of Edwards. Draft that QB and bring him along properly. When Foles goes 1-4 or 0-4 you will go crazy. Vick has ben to the NFC championship and playoffs. He should at least be able to give us a shot for that even with some diminished skills. I would even take an Alex Smith if Vick isnt your guy but show me a name that interests you.
I won't go crazy with an 0 and 4 Foles. An 0-4 Vick would piss me off. I'm going to take Kelly a his word. He says he doesn't need the mobile QB to run his system. Oakland won't draft Smith. Hey invested in Palmer and already have Prior waiting in the wings. If KC doesn't take him he could be there at 4.
Geno Smith will be gone before philly picks, your ex coach would be a fool not to take him first since the Chiefs QB situation is horrible. Besides, you guys need a better O Line because it sucked last year. It all starts up front by giving a QB time to throw and opening holes for the backs.
No Peters, no Kelce, no Herremans...what do you expect? A tackle may still be the way to go though because there is no guarantee Peters comes back from his injury and if he does the Eagles could move the draft pick to the RT spot freeing Herremans to move back inside.
It's funny, because every time you come on and tell us how something will never happen it usually does. LOL. Don't be surprised to see Smith fall on this board some. Maybe the Jaguars snatch him before the Eagles, but I don't think it's a lock Andy Reid drafts the kid.
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
We'll see, and if I'm wrong I'll admit it like a man, so so sorry if my opinion bothers you. I'm still entitled to it just like you are. The Chiefs QB situation is one of the worst in the league, it just makes sense that Reid goes after a QB. If he doesn't then he's a bigger fool than I thought he was before. AHH, and I see there's another comment from the peanut gallery by fartsmella. Now there's a joke for you.
I'm certainly not saying you can not have an opinion. I just find it funny how a matter of fact you can write how something will be, and the opposite usually happens. Don't get mad it happens to all of us. Just ask Mr. Mortal lock. Heck the season before I thought the Eagles could pull 13 victories. I was 5 short. LOL
easyeagle I got more news on chip kelly , thought id let you know....
I noticed. You can slow it down a little bro. I can't keep up.
If Geno is gone. I say we wait til the 2nd or 3rd round and draft Ej Manuel from florida state. He can also do it al
He seems to have what Kelly wants in size and athleticism in a quarterback (was checking out prospects a couple days ago). I just saw that Kelly and staff interviewed him, Tyler Wilson and Ryan Nassib today during the Senior Bowl practices. An interesting fact that I read about Manuel is that Kelly wanted him to go to Oregon but he didn't want to play that far away from his home in Virginia. Could be a fit...I think a website I checked out had him going in the 3rd-4th rounds. We'll see if he climbs after the combine and his pro day.
Ok then ill stop
I hear Joeckel may go 1st to the Chiefs. I think people are starting to doubt Geno Smith. I wonder how far Teo drops? I am not sure drafting another linebacker should be the best choice when there are so many other holes to be filled on defense like corner and safety. They could draft that Alabama corner.
I doubt we take a quarterback at #4 (or #1-20 overall if that were our draft position). I think the Eagles will take a quarterback, but it might not be until the mid/late rounds of the draft.
Depending on what Kelly does with the staff (if we switch to a 3-4) we might be focusing in on DT/NT Star Lotulelei. He's similar to Haloti Ngata, so definitely a good start to improving our defense. CB Dee Milliner will be the top corner in this years draft, so that should also be a consideration with DRC up for free agency and Nnamdi getting older. Then we have to consider if Cole/Graham are suited to be stand up players in a 3-4 alignment. I think they are athletic enough since both played LB in college, but if the Eagles think OLB Jarvis Jones can be the next "Von Miller" I think he could also be a possibility at #4. OT Joeckel is our #1 target regardless of what coaching staff is in place, so if he's there, that's our pick.
Someone will draft Geno Smith in the first round, but I think that he is more likely to be drafted by the Cardinals at #7 or the Jets at #9.
Everyone I hear seems to think Jones won't be that great, but all of you choices seem viable. It just feels good to be at the top of the draft with the great players. It's just a shame they don't have the can't miss QB prospect this season.

File photo of national team at Rafik Harriri airport.
BEIRUT: FIBA confirmed the international suspension of the Lebanese basketball federation Friday, with the national team to be stripped of their chance to compete in the upcoming FIBA ASIA Championship in the Philippines next month. The Lebanese federation failed to meet the latest FIBA requirements, as the deadline for agreement passed without a solution.
FIBA had given Lebanon until 1 p.m. Friday to solve the crisis by withdrawing the legal cases filed by Amchit and Mouttahed against the governing body, as well as all the parties signing the MOU proposed by the Asian federation and the Sports Ministry, but talks to resolve the issue reached an impasse.
Talks to find a solution were centered around withdrawing the legal cases, and in return two members would resign from the governing body to join the other six members who resigned last week. Consequently the federation would be dropped and new elections would take place.
However, things didn't reach a happy ending with both parties exchanging conditions, even after FIBA extended the deadline until 6 p.m. Friday.
"I am deeply sorry to announce the end of Lebanese basketball which has been slayed by politics and sectarianism, as well as the parochial interests," Sports and Youth Minister Faissal Karami said. "We have worked hard to meet the FIBA requests, but unfortunately we haven't found a required response from all the parties, whether from the politicians or the governing body or the clubs concerned.
"We have realized everyone is placing their personal benefits over those of the common good, and we couldn't do more to save the game. There is a dirty political atmosphere in the country and it has ruined everything, including the unity of the Lebanese society," added Karami, who led an attempt to find a middle ground for the parties concerned.
The Lebanese basketball federation informed FIBA late Friday about the results of the meetings, with highest international authority then confirming the ban. Lebanon will now be replaced by Iraq during the upcoming FIBA ASIA Championship.
Elsewhere, the Lebanese national team were adversely affected by the current atmosphere enveloping the game, as they were dealt a narrow loss against Jordan 69-67 during the friendly Jones Cup tournament.
The players and the staff issued a brief statement from Taiwan stressing their anger over the situation.
"We will not play any more games until they go home and leave us to play for our national team. We will stand against those who are hurting our lives, because we all make a living from the game," the statement said.
"We call on President Michel Sleiman and head of the Olympic committee Jean Hammam to act quickly to save the national team and keep our dream alive to qualify for the World Championship."

Barack Obama asked for a new agenda for research into curbing gun violence, and now he has one.
Just one problem: getting a Congress that rejected his plans for tighter gun laws in the wake of the Newtown massacre to provide the necessary cash.
In January, Obama directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to identify pressing questions about reducing deaths and injuries caused by guns. That ended a de facto freeze on such research that had been in place since the mid-1990s, when Congressional allies of the National Rifle Association slashed the agency's annual budget by $2.6 million – the exact sum it had been spending on gun violence research.
Now an Institute of Medicine panel headed by Alan Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has given the CDC a list of priorities for investigation, ranging from the potential of "smart guns" that only their registered user can fire, to the effectiveness of childhood education programmes in reducing violence in later life.
The panel also wants future research to be more rigorous, based on controlled trials or before-and-after studies that can show cause and effect for specific interventions. Many previous studies have simply looked for correlations between policies across different countries or US states and their rates of gun violence, and so have not been able to demonstrate causation.
"We don't just need more research but more rigorous research," agrees Garen Wintemute, who heads the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis.
The big question, however, is where the money is going to come from. Any addition to the CDC's budget would require Congressional approval, and that will be hard to obtain, given the gun lobby's powerful influence. "Everything on this list has been controversial all along," says Wintemute. "That controversy will remain."

New builder, some new tips, and a question
4 Attachment(s)
My wife's been bugging me for years to build her a beehive dome, and got me the FB plans, so I launched into it. So far it's doing pretty well, I'm up to about the fifth course and it's looking good. Using Heat Stop 50 which seems to work really well (I wanted to add sand, but the bag said not to). No forms so far, but I did build a 1/4 round "jig" that hooks onto a piece of rebar that fits into a hole in the central brick that will eventually take a thermocouple. I found that for splitting lots of bricks in half for the dome a cheap hand pumped log splitter works great, not a super straight surface but neat enough for something that won't show and will be mortared over and then immersed in perlite (enclosed dome). I found mine in a junk pile and had to get a new jack for it, but you can get them at Harbor Freight or such for about $100. When you're done building the oven, you can use it to split your wood! Figured out another trick: if you want to hold a small piece of brick to do some fine cutting with a circular saw with a masonry blade, fill something like a cat litter pan with about four inches of wet sand and bed the piece of brick down into it and wail away.
Question: should I do the initial curing before I enclose the dome in the insulation? I've been leaving the dome covered at night (it's down in the upper 30s here at night) with a heater running inside, and there is a LOT of moisture coming out of this thing. Seems I'd like that to escape into the atmosphere and not into the insulation. Speaking of which, there is a place here in the Lehigh Valley (Bethlehem/Allentown area) called Pennsylvania Perlite that has all different grades, big bags, cheap, no silicone. 800 473 7548.
Mike Space
BTW, the gentleman with the camera tripod gave me a good laugh mentioning Whitworth fittings, since I've got a bunch of British cars. Figures we'd be the type building ancient technology like brick ovens.:rolleyes:
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question
Hi Spazio,
Welcome to the forum! Looks like you are doing a really nice job on your oven.
You definitely don't need to add sand to the HeatStop50. It comes ready to go and is just about perfect the way it is.
The log splitter is a great idea. I never would have guessed it would work!
There are two theories on curing with or without insulation. I vote for putting on your refractory blanket then curing. Unless you see some really, really ugly cracks after curing, the blanket stays on and you continue finishing out the build. It's very rare that anyone has to remove the blanket to make repairs. You'll get a few hairline cracks here and there (normal) but that should be it.
Keep up the nice work and keep the pictures coming!
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question
"I vote for putting on your refractory blanket then curing."
I agree with Ken. If you are using a vermiculite/portland insulation layer then put this on first before curing.
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question
Im with these guys... I put on my blanket and vermicrete,, waited then fired....
Great work its looking good....
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question

I may do the curing with just the blanket. My rationale is that I'd rather have the moisture escape into the atmosphere than get trapped in the insulation (loose perlite fill) where it will be more difficult to get rid of, especially since it's getting to be winter soon.
Ok, so I was working on the lintel the other day. I did the angle iron idea, and it was a pain; I would rather have done intersecting arch/dome. Fortunately I'm a pretty ok welder, and made up a double lintel with clips to hold the inner bricks (see photos). It's up a couple of courses from this by now, I'll post new pix soon. Wonder if I should jump this to another thread?
So there I was just getting everything lined up and mortared in place, and the CD in my boombox starts to skip. And skip. And skip. It's driving me nuts, but I can't stop to shut it off. I did, however, have a stack of bricks real handy...
But the cinder block really finished it off.
Poor boombox.:(
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question
Time for a new boombox... everything else is looking good... many people have cured their domes without the insulation and have had no bad effects.... I cured everything for 28 days before my first fire, If you go ahead with the fire,, go low and slow.. now is not the time to rush
Cheers and nice work
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question
My wife has a pizza party planned for January 2nd, and I hope to have the dome closed in today, if the new jig I woke up with in my head works out. Then I'll be going away and leaving it with a small heater running inside it. Probably be about ten days before I start firing it and in the meantime I'll build the enclosure.
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question
Mike looking good. Had a good laugh about the boom box, sounds like something I would do.
I've always done my own work/projects, but rarely wake up thinking about them. Building this oven has me thinking about it all the time. Fun project, the chicken coup we built this spring wasn't as fun, but the chickens sure like it. :)

It's done! (at least the dome). Amazing how quickly it starts going once the hole gets small, though you do spend a lot of time cutting the bricks to fit, which didn't need to be done before. The "cap" took a few hours, but once I had finished fitting the bricks, I took the form away and everything was a "tap fit" and held itself in place. Then I took it apart, mortared everything and cleaned up. I'll be away for a few days, and when I come back I'll finish the chimney and start some curing fires.
BTW, that's the form I made up to hold the top rows in place while I set them. I think my MIG welder was one of the most useful tools I had at my disposal
Re: New builder, some new tips, and a question
hey mike... Looks great.....
Hope you dont mind if i go a bit off topic ??? Are you a welder ??? Im lookin to buy a mig welder and learn to weld.. Is Mig/arc a good place to start and is it difficult ??

Unless you were born ambidextrous—like, say, Jeff Clark, who learned to surf switch-foot to avoid Maverick's beasts at his back—you probably think more about new boards than adjusting your stance. But scientific studies suggest that the way you stand on a board is worth thinking about, and even switching up.
More than right-left dominance, stance is our foundation for balance and the core of our performance—and it can be tweaked. According to David Anderson, a professor at the SFSU Department of Kinesiology, the best ways to determine stance is to "March in place blindfolded. If you turn clockwise, your left leg tends to dominate during stance and locomotion; counter clockwise your right leg dominates."

A Chatham pervert has been jailed for exchanging lewd photographs with a girl in the USA - despite her being over the UK age of sexual consent of 16.
Michael Fewtrell was at first told he could be cautioned or dealt with by magistrates.
But sentencing the divorced 29-year-old father to eight months' imprisonment, a judge told him: "Rightly, in my judgement, you were committed to this court for sentence.
"You thought the law would not affect your activities as your victim was over the age of consent. How wrong you were."
Fewtrell, of Constitution Road, admitted inciting a child to be involved in pornography.
Maidstone Crown Court heard British police received information from the United States Homeland Security Organisation about contact between Fewtrell and the girl in a chatroom.
"You thought the law would not affect your activities as your victim was over the age of consent. How wrong you were..." - Judge Philip Statman
The girl's mother had found messages on a computer at her home in Austin, Texas, in which Fewtrell asked personal questions, such as whether she was a virgin.
Prosecutor Ian Foinette said the mother also discovered explicit photographs "taken at the behest of the defendant". It was made clear to him she was only 16.
"The girl said he asked her to send pictures to him for her birthday in 2012," said Mr Foinette. "At first she refused, then she agreed. She sent them to him and then deleted them from her iPad.
"He was arrested on April 29 last year. He said he thought it was alright to have such exchanges of a sexual nature with someone who was 16 and over the age of consent."
The age of consent to be able to swap naked photographs over the internet is 18.
Tom Stern, defending, said if Fewtrell and the girl were together they could lawfully engage in sexual activity.
"He is not someone who is bracketed as a paedophile," he said, "It is not a pattern of behaviour. He has lost his work and reputation."
Judge Philip Statman told Fewtrell: "The motive was one of pure sexual gratification. I have absolutely no hesitation in saying the custody threshold is well and truly passed.
"The law is framed to protect children. In my judgement this is a case that calls for a sentence which sends out a clear message that those who go into chatrooms and arrange for pornographic photos to be taken and use them for sexual gratification, will go immediately to prison."
A sexual offences prevention order was made and Fewtrell's name will appear on the sex offenders' register for 10 years.

By far the best burgers in the area! The "special sauce" that is on the Tiny Teazer Burgers is phenomenal. You can ask for it on the side and put it on other burgers if you like. Great Cajun fries. Its nice that the if you do delivery... the fries are still decently crispy upon arrival. Super fast delivery, too!
Posted by Amanda on 09/26/2008
Excellent food. A lot of variety on the menu. Very goodlooking and friendly waitstaff. Fast service.
Posted by a.j. on 09/16/2008
Went here with my son. It is our favorite burger spot. The busboy gave us water and asked if we wanted drinks. We both ordered a soda. After waiting about 15 minutes for the waitress she came over for our order. She also asked us for drinks and I told her we already ordered them with the busboy. She asked the busboy and he blatantly lied and told her we didn't order any drinks. And she came back and rudley told me we didn't order drinks. Even though the food was excellent as usual, the service was unpleasant. Don't know if we'll go back!!! Doesn't matter if the food is great.
Posted by Adam on 07/26/2008
The burgers here are insanely good, and there are good people working here too.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/20/2008
I double checked the listing to be sure I was reading about the same place I was looking for. The service here is apathetic at best, but usually spiteful. The decor (and the menu) are obnoxious. The food is only OK. Delivery is fairly quick, otherwise I'd have forgotten this place's name long ago. Maybe I sould eat there more- It's cheaper as I always end up leaving no tip for that kind of service.
Posted by Megan on 04/12/2008
My boyfriend and I eat here all the time. When he first moved to this area we tried a lot of different diners and this one has been the best of them all.
Posted by kathleen on 02/29/2008
This is not your typical diner food and once you experience these vittles you will have a hard time settling for anything less. Enjoy!

Hockey Betting Pick: Los Angeles Kings @ St. Louis Blues Game 1
- Updated: April 28, 2012
The top seed left standing in the Western Conference, the No. 2 St. Louis Blues are going to start their series off against the No. 8 Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, April 28th in what should be a remarkable first game of what could be a great series.
Looking for the best sports handicappers on the internet? Look no further than the Expert Sports Handicappers here at Bang the Book. Click Here to check out the best gambling picks that you'll find anywhere!
The Kings only won 40 games in the regular season, but they have proven here in the playoffs that they are for real and shouldn't be messed with. They are a lot better playoff team than a regular season team, and if the offense can figure out how to keep scratching out two or three goals in these playoff games, Jonathan Quick is going to do the rest. Quick would almost certainly be the Vezina Trophy winner this year if he had a better team in front of him, as a 1.95 GAA is just out of this world. Thus far in the playoffs, Quick has a 4-1 record and a 1.59 GAA. Dustin Brown is paying tremendous dividends with his four goals and an assist thus far in five playoff games, while both Justin Williams and Anze Kopitar have four points as well. Mike Richards, another former member of the Philadelphia Flyers, has a goal and two assists, while Jeff Carter has a pair of helpers. Needless to say, if these players are all coming up big offensively, there is no reason for the Kings to panic, knowing that Quick has the stuff to win in the postseason.
Head Coach Ken Hitchcock knows what it takes to win a Stanley Cup, and that's a great thing considering the fact that his team just won a playoff series for the first time in a decade last week. The Blues have played remarkable defense all season long, and they basically put on the equivalent of the full-court press for basically the full 60 minutes (or whatever is necessary). This is clearly the best fore-checking team in the game, and that is why there is a lot less pressure on the likes of Jaroslav Halak and Brian Elliott. Elliott went a perfect 3-0 in the first round of the playoffs after Halak went down with an injury. Both men have sub-2.00 GAAs here in the postseason, and both had a hand in the Game 2 shutout. Offensively, the team has been a real surprise this year. Chris Stewart hasn't been on the board, and David Backes has just one goal to his credit, but Andy McDonald and Patrik Berglund have been remarkable. Those two have seven goals and eight assists between them thus far in the five playoff games against the San Jose Sharks.
Los Angeles Kings @ St. Louis Blues Pick: We are a bit puzzled by the fact that the 'total' for Game 1 is more or less just hanging around the 5 range. We just don't see how there will be six goals scored in a 60 minute period in this series, and that being said, we have to trust the Elliott and Quick will keep this one beneath the total.

Reporting from Las Vegas—Like residents in many cities, longtime Las Vegans long for what's long gone — the days when a young Wayne Newton crooned "Danke Schoen" and dealers knew players by their first names.
"It was better in the old days when the mob was still here," said Aiko Shono, a 35-year resident of Sin City. "Everyone had a job, everyone was friendly [and] people were not rude."
Over big, juicy steaks and tender lyonnaise potatoes, Shono and her dining companion, Iris Buck, sighed as they reminisced.
"They ripped down all the old casinos that had so much history," Buck said. "It's a real shame. It's not what it used to be when the Rat Pack was still here. And, you know, new is not always better."
Buck and her husband became so disillusioned with all the changes that they left Las Vegas in 1999 for the peace and quiet of Idaho. She comes back once a year on business, and during her stays, tries to recapture at least a little of the city's oft-imploded past.
It's not necessarily easy to find remnants of what old-timers call the city's heyday, but those who know where to look can still find Sin City's unique history, outside the confines of a museum.
Shono and Buck make a point of enjoying dinner at one such spot: the Golden Steer ([702] 384-4470, golden.snapsweb.com), a restaurant with minimal curb appeal just a couple of blocks west of the Sahara resort, the most-recent piece of Old Vegas to bite the dust.
If you enter when it's still light outside, your eyes will need a minute to adjust to the dark wood paneling and burgundy carpet. The Golden Steer looks like something from the set of the movie "Casino," except it looked like this long before the 1995 movie. The Steer opened in 1958, and its appearance has not changed since then.
"The food's excellent, and this is Old Vegas," Shono said. "That's why I come."
Shono has seen plenty of celebrities at the Steer, she said, including Rat Packers Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., whose booths display brass plaques bearing their names. Guests can reserve one of their tables — or, if they prefer, one frequented by race car driver Mario Andretti, actress Marilyn Monroe or the King.
"Elvis Presley's is the most-requested table we have," said server Fernando Camacho, who has worked at the steakhouse since 1978.
"[The rock bands] Nirvana, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, [and] Quiet Riot always ask for [Presley's] table," he added.
Camacho also remembers serving an infamous but regular diner: mob figure Anthony (Tony) "The Ant" Spilotro, a Chicago mobster who made his way to Vegas, where he became part of a casino skimming-embezzlement scheme. He was killed, along with his brother Michael, in 1986. His table is adjacent to the private entrance that was reserved for the gangster and his cronies.
"Anybody who came through that door had to kneel and kiss his ring," Camacho said. "I'm serious. I saw it."
Another Old Vegas dining experience isn't known for its famous or infamous patrons. But at Tiffany's ([702] 444-4459), it seems as though almost everyone at the old-fashioned drugstore lunch counter is a character.
It's inside White Cross Drugs, along a now-seedy stretch of the Strip in the shadow of the Stratosphere, and has been in continuous operation since 1957, except for the five days in 2005 when it closed to film scenes for the movie "Lucky You," which mostly didn't win over critics.
Breakfast at Tiffany's — yes, that's what they call it — is served 24/7. A three-egg cheese omelet with home fries and toast fills a platter and costs $6.95. The priciest item on the menu — a 16-ounce T-bone — is $15.95.
Farther north along Las Vegas Boulevard, visitors can discover another gem from Sin City's earlier days. Downtown, at El Cortez ([702] 385-5200, http://www.elcortezhotelcasino.com), some of the rooms remain just as they were when Bugsy Siegel owned the joint in the 1940s.
"Evolution happens," said Mike Nolan, the hotel-casino's general manager. He's created some new suites with a South Beach vibe, but the original 50 rooms appear much as they did when the hotel was built in 1941. The second- and third-floor rooms — and a barber shop — are reached by the original, creaky stairs; there's never been an elevator in the original wing.

WELCOME to the ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT COMMUNITY: This Patient-To-Patient Community is for discussions relating to Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) which is a hole in the part of the septum that separates the atria (the upper chambers of the heart). This hole allows oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to flow into the right atrium instead of flowing into the left ventricle as it should. This means that oxygen-rich blood gets pumped back to the lungs, where it has just been, instead of going to the body.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) happens without warning and requires immediate treatment. Rarely is there a chance to diagnose it with medical tests as it is happening. Instead, SCA is often diagnosed after it happens, by ruling out other causes of the patient's sudden collapse.
People who may be at high risk for SCA can see a cardiologist (heart specialist) who can decide whether they need preventive treatments. Some cardiologists specialize in recognizing and treating problems with the electrical system of the heart. These specialists are called electrophysiologists (e-LEK-tro-FIH-ze-ah-low-jists).
Doctors use several tests to help detect the factors that put people at risk for SCA. These tests include:

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) July 02, 2014
As July 4th celebrations often include fireworks, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute urges families to celebrate with caution this Fourth of July holiday. The dangers of consumer fireworks include blindness, as well as injuries to the head, face, and hands.
"Fireworks are one of the most dangerous activities, in terms of eye injuries," said Kendall Donaldson, M.D., cornea and external disease specialist at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. "Each year hundreds of people end up with terrible eye injuries and burns from fireworks, and a lot of the victims are bystanders and children. There is just no way to safely use fireworks at home. Even sparklers can permanently damage the eye. Sparklers are not toys and children should not be holding them. The only safe way to see fireworks is to go to a professional fireworks show."
If you plant to attend a public fireworks show as part of your July 4th celebration:
For those who decide to purchase consumer fireworks in states where they are legal, we recommend the following safety tips to prevent eye injuries:
Last year, nearly 5,000 consumers were treated in hospital emergency rooms in the four weeks surrounding their Fourth of July holiday due to fireworks injuries, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). More than half of these reported injuries involved burns to the hands, head and face. Injuries to the eye include burns, lacerations, abrasion, retinal detachment, optic nerve damage and ruptured eyeballs. About 1,000 reported injuries involved sparklers and bottle rockets, fireworks that are frequently and incorrectly considered safe for young children.
If you are injured from fireworks:
Stay safe as you celebrate the Fourth of July.
About Bascom Palmer Eye Institute
Bascom Palmer Eye Institute of UHealth – the University of Miami Health System, is ranked the best eye hospital in the nation, as published in U.S. News & World Report. The Institute demonstrates exceptional expertise in every ophthalmic subspecialty treats more than 250,000 patients and performs more than 12,000 surgeries annually.

6. Will the big bang become an untestable theory?
If a steady expansion continues long enough, a single wavelength of the CMB will be stretched until it is as large as the universe itself. That means any humans still around in a trillion years or so won't be able to detect the CMB at all, says Loeb. "The sense that we have of cosmological studies will be lost, because we won't be able to find any trace of the big bang on the sky," he says. "In the future, we will have a story of the big bang, and we won't be able to verify it. So will cosmology turn into a religion? At least for a trillion years, we won't have to worry about that."
For more big bang excitement, watch Wilson and Loeb speak during a 50th anniversary celebration at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at 1930 EST today (0030 GMT 21 February). More info here, or simply watch it here.

How to store and secure credit card numbers on the LAN

server drives, or are there applications that can be used to encrypt them and keep them safe?
This question hinges on the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). PCI DSS has specific rules for handling, storing, protecting and encrypting credit card data, regardless of a company's size.
PCI DSS is governed by a consortium of five large credit card companies: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB. Non-compliance can lead to fines or being banned from using cards issued by any of the five consortium members. Due to the large share of the market they hold, these five card companies have a lot of clout. Being excluded from using their cards can effectively bar a business from accepting credit cards.
Though following PCI DSS is considered compliance with an industry standard rather than a security procedure, its recommendations are a good starting point for any company handling credit card data.
PCI DSS Requirement 3, which covers the protection of stored cardholder data, is the section most relevant to storing credit card numbers, or personal account numbers (PAN). Section 3.4 specifically mandates that the PAN be encrypted wherever it's stored. The four following encryption methods may be used: strong one-way hash functions, truncation, index tokens and pads, or strong cryptography with associated key management processes and procedures.
Either full-disk encryption, file-level or column-level database encryption may be used. But in all these cases the PAN is the minimum piece of account information that must always be encrypted under any circumstances.
When using NTFS-secured server drives, corporations must make sure logical access is separate from native operating system control, such as local system or Active Directory accounts. As long as the NTFS drive isn't directly accessible by these accounts, an enterprise should be PCI DSS compliant.
PCI DSS doesn't specify encryption strength, but rather specifies acceptable handling of encryption keys in Section 3.5 and 3.6. Among these are that keys are to be stored and distributed securely. As long as these requirements are met, any free or commercial disk or file encryption tool is sufficient.
Despite these stringent rules, PCI DSS allows for a series of what it calls "compensating controls" for companies unable to provide encryption. These compensating controls include putting the cardholder data on a separate network segment, or restricting access to it by IP address, access controls or packet filtering of data types.
In this case, a small company that is unable to encrypt card numbers can attempt to stay compliant with PCI's compensating controls by securely isolating card numbers from their network. So, referring to spreadsheets on NTFS-secured drives, an organization will have to make sure the PANs are securely segregated from the network and can't be accessed by users.
The complete standard with more details can be found on the PCI Security Standards Council website (pdf).

Top 5 WWE Superstars That Will Breakout in 2012
by, 01-08-2012 at 08:57 AM (4453 Views)
What's up IWC, I'll be writing about which WWE superstars will breakout in 2012 and why!
5. TedDiBiase I definately think that Biase will breakout in 2012. The best time will be after Wrestlemania 28, where he can have a new feud with Cody Rhodes, this time a proper build up. He needs to improve his mic skills and he needs to drop his awful gimmick. You know, when his father had the same gimmick, he played it great but with Biase have the same one, I really can't stand it! It was also reported that Vince was going to give him a push for something he did (I can't remember what he did) so a long reign with the Intercontinental Champion (with Rhodes moving onto bigger things) would be good for him and he will hopefully breakout in 2012!
4. Brodus Clay I really have been impressed with this beast in FCW, I think he done well there. I think he can wrestle, Vince McMahon pisses his pants off for big guys, and I think he can prove himself at WWE. He definately should return at the Royal Rumble, where he dominates and gets a decent amount of eliminations. This was mentioned in a thread ( I can't remember who it was) but John Laurinitis is on the phone to Brodus promising he wil have his debut but Clay kicks the office door open and attacks Laurinitis. But I think he should move into the tag team division, to give it a big boost and as a tag team I think he could breakout with his partner, and the partner is........................Look at Number 3
3. Ryback/Skip Sheffield Ha, you really think I like this guy? Hey, don't bash me, like I said Vince pisses his pants for the big guys! I really got nothing to explain, but as I mention earlier, he could be in a monster tag team with Brodus Clay, just to see them in a program, to see them doing something before they move to big things. Crimson and Matt Morgan for example!
2. Drew McIntyre I don't think there is a doubt that this guy will breakout, he is in Booker T's 'Fave 5' which I think Vince McMahon is trying to give us an idea that he is getting pushed. He has also been moved to Smackdown: Another idea. He has the tools to become a World Champion: Charisma, mic skills, a good Scottish accent, and great in the ring. After Cody Rhodes is done with TedDiBiase, McIntyre could be a serious contender to the Intercontinental Champion, thus making a McIntyre/Biase feud. But I really would love to see Biase, McIntyre and Rhodes in a 3-Way!
1. David Otunga This guy has awful and I mean AWFUL ring abilites! I'm actually enjoying his Lawyer gimmick though, I think he is excellent on the mic, he's only getting pushed because of his wife, cause she's famous! I think that he can be in a program with Zack Ryder for the US Champion! But for some reason I really like him, I don't know why, but I do like him (Before you mention it, it is NOT in a gay manner!).
Well you know, guys like Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett have already been breakout stars in 2011 (With Zack Ryder being the winner) so I didn't include them in!
I hope you enjoyed my blog, I'm off for now so bye!

Again, IF your goal is to eliminate the "interactive tax" and go to a zero interactive footprint on your System i, installing the WDHT product and using HATS is a great way to go. It will work for any 5250 program, requires no source code for the target application, and your programs look just like they do in a 5250 environment.
WDHT *allows* you to customize screens without the need for source code using HATS. You don't have to. You just get the advantage of 0 interactive and a browser based deployment. As far as your Lawson applications are concerned, you don't have to do a thing. They'll run in HATS just fine.
Pete and Steve,I totally agree with you, but : we are stuck to MOVEX 10A from Intentia (now owned by Lawson), this is management decision. No own development is done here, only reporting / queries and so on. Decision has already been made to move to an "oracle package" in 2010, which we try to keep on the iSeries platform. So we have to be productive for the next 3 1/2 years and then at least we needto run this machine as an archive for all historical data. Philipp

SHNIDER: Strategic planning: Who is kidding whom?
The biggest buzz words in any business today are "strategic planning."
This includes both for-profit and not-for-profit entities.
One can find hundreds of articles written on the topic. What do businesses really mean? Strategy is typically used to define a company's direction and allocating resources to pursue that particular course of action.
What I see happening in most companies is that everything becomes strategic. The word is used so much that it has no meaning. I use the word in terms of a well thought out idea for direction in the areas of short, intermediate and long term planning.
Strategic planning can be as narrow as one department to as broad as the entire company. Strategic planning is a process that organizations should go through.
The issue I have with strategic planning is that companies spend a great deal of resources, time and money, on either contracting with a company to take them through the process or do it internally and, at the end of the day, they are back where they started.
All of the key players are really excited to get started and are even engaged throughout the process. Where does it cave in? Prior to this point it was just conversation, talk and rhetoric. They realize that to implement, change really has to occur. The key players now know if the new process is to work their roles, responsibilities, activities and positions are threatened-they may change.
With the immediate threat of the above, we now have a stalemate. Each key employee becomes very protective of his or her territory and are threatened by the suggested change.
We also see where some of the players' skill sets do not meet the required needs of the new direction and transformation of the company but they are longtime members of the management team.
A bigger issue are the "sacred cows." These are the employees that can't be touched for one reason or another. Either they are owners, relatives or college buddies that have a close relationship with management. They may refuse to take on different jobs, responsibilities, etc. Now what does the company do? Typically, this prolongs the process and even puts an end to its movement.
Yes, strategic planning is a great tool to understand and move a company forward but, I see too many companies that go through this process and fail. It does not have to fail but the implementation part is key to its success.
I am all for the process and believe it is very healthy for a company to engage and frequently evaluate what is good and what is not working, but I am also a believer that at the start, the protected employees and the issues of territory ownership must be dealt with before the party begins.
It is easy to preach and advocate for change but difficult to execute. The outcome, typically results in a compromise to satisfy those protected workers, which is not the best business decision for the company.
This may put the company at a disadvantage for opportunities, growth and competitiveness but, it is accepted and well rationalized. Let our team help you through this process and identify the issues. There really is no nonsense to the process — just common sense.
