There are 7 private schools located in Maine that offer Nordic Skiing as an interscholastic sport.
Beginning in preschool, our weekly swim program at the Casco Bay YMCA is a highlight of our physical education program
John Bapst offers an Accelerated English Program for International Students, which prepares non-native speakers for the same college entrance examinations - the SAT and AP exams - that American students take. Program participants take English and social science classes alongside American students. They also attend a second class daily in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation and receive help in specific class content areas. The John Bapst English Pledge, which applies during the school day and to television and movies on the weekends, is considered important to the student's overall language improvement.

Rob Ryan has been hired by the New Orleans Saints. In New Orleans he will be tasked with turning around the last ranked defense in the NFL. Ryan spent the last two seasons in Dallas but was let go at the end of the season. Ryan quipped that he would be out of work for five minutes and reports circulated that he was set to coach the Rams defensive unit in 2013. Hours later the Rams opted to backtrack and Ryan was again looking for a job. The Saints will transition to a 3-4 defense under Ryan which suggests that the team will aggressively seek defensive players during the draft and free agency.

UP CM takes a dig at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Congress tie-up
Zee Media Bureau
New Delhi: Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhiles Yadav on Monday took a dig at Aam Aadmi chief Arvind Kejriwal for taking Congress` support in the national capital to form the government and said challenges are known only after forming government.
"After forming government one comes to know about the challenges (Sarkar bana ne ke baad chunautiyan pata lagti hai)," Yadav said.
Kejriwal, a civil society activist whose Aam Aadmi Party had stunned mainstream political parties in the recent assembly elections in Delhi, will take over as Chief Minister later this week with the support of Congress, which had ruled the national capital for 15 years in a row before its rout.
45-year-old Kejriwal, a former Indian Revenue Service officer, met Lt Governor Najeeb Jung today and handed over him a letter staking claim to form government after his party`s Political Affairs Committee (PAC) met earlier and decided to take the plunge.
A Magsaysay award winner, a one-time RTI activist and a close associate of Anna Hazare during his campaign for a Janlokpal Bill, Kejriwal will be sworn-in in a public ceremony in the Ramlila Maidan, the venue of Anna Hazare`s anti-corruption movement two years ago.
He said he would table a confidence motion in the assembly and "let`s see what happens". This will be the capital`s first minority government.
Born in Haryana and a resident of Kausambi in nearby Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh, the IIT-Kharagpur graduate in Mechanical Engineering, defeated incumbent Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit in New Delhi by a huge margin of over 25,000 votes.
The Lt Governor told Kejriwal that he would send the proposal of government making to the President for his decision.
Later, Kejriwal said his government would implement all the promises made in the party manifesto. Electricity, water, enactment of Janlokpal and ending VIP culture.
"Our 18-point charter will form the guiding light of our governance. We didn`t ask for support. If parties don`t us, we are ready to face elections again," he said.

Like I said, we go to sleep in deathly silence.
This is because there is no wildlife. I mean NO wildlife at all. We dont see a living thing, there is not even some droppings to show that something is around, no spoor at all and not even birds. It is like riding in the bush, but the only living thing is humans. Every hour or so we would pass one or two solitary figures pushing a bicycle.
The riding is still easy and pleasant.
And the bridges still gives us trouble.
Someone is going to ask, so I might as well tell. That red thing on Narduss bike is an air horn. Why it is there is a long story.
When we planned for this trip I researched as much as was available re Niassa and Cabo Del Gado Provinces. One of the things I came across was a news item about two women who had been caught and eaten by lions in Cabo Del Gado. This was not good.
It was three months before the trip. Further research confirmed that these two women were victims number fifteen and sixteen in the same area. Sixteen people eaten by the same lions in a period of six months! Bloody hell! Why does the whole world not know about this? Here is a pride that preys specifically on humans; it should make international headlines.
Further research brought me to a research paper by Craig Packer. The mind blowing data is that from 1990 to 2004, in the Southern Tanzanian / Northern Mozambique area, lions have attacked over 800 people and killed over 500. What the fuck man? Eight hundred people! Several prides of lion and more than one generation of lions are eating people like they are a food group.
The methods followed by some of these lions was even more upsetting. They climb up the walls of the mud houses and then come crashing down into the house with the roof. We were on bikes, fast-food you know. And we were going to sleep out in the open. Tasty snacks just lying about.
I was less than comfortable with the whole idea I can tell you.
We were going to have to take some sort of preventative measures. Which measures was the question. When you are sleeping in the open you do not have any real options, if a lion is intent on eating you, hes gonna do so.
Here is the funny part. Our prevention plan was first up, air horns, to scare the bastards with noise. That is where this hooter on Narduss handle bars comes in.
If we happen upon a pride of lion lying in the road unexpectedly, hit the hooter and ride straight at them. Except that about twenty km after fitting this magafter, Nardus is suddenly overcome by acute cold finger syndrome. The canister wore through against the mirror stalk and released all the compressed air onto his hand.
At the risk of ridicule I have to tell you about our other measures.
Our first line of defence is some fire crackers that Brian brought. Little bomb thingies that we can throw at them when they circle the fire. Sounds like gunshots.
These lions have also shown themselves to be unafraid of fire, so Brian got hold of an electric fence that are energized by six batteries. I carried this in my bag.
Should the lion just get pissed off by being shocked by our fence, I also had an air horn with me. I would wait for the big boy to be sniffing my tent and then scare the piss out of him.
The noise can of course just excite the bastard, and in light of a hut not being a real obstacle, my tent was never going to be much of a deterrent.
So I was also going to sleep with a can of mace. I could not find anything on whether it is effective on lions, but it is effective against bears and American mountain lion, so the odds are in my favour.
These are only effective at close range though. Studying many videos on the internet of people being mauled by lions, I have noticed that more often than not, the first bite is across the shoulders and chest, where the lion then holds on until the person dies of suffocation or what not.
That is why I will wait until he has me in his jaws and walks away with that cocky walk that they have when they caught something good. Then I will use my good arm to get the mace from my pocket and let him have the full shot straight up his nostril. That will sort him out. There is of course also the chance that he might clamp down on my head, but thats what helmets are for. Ill still get him up the nostril with a blast of hell fire.
Lastly I have my leatherman. Should the mace prove ineffective and things take too long for my sensibilities, Ill just cut my own throat, you dont want to piss him off more by irritating him with a pocket knife.
Narduss finger having defrosted, we continue, still with no sign of any life.
And of course still dealing with these confounded bridges. The biggest problem with these things are that should you try to cross normally, and your wheels do slip in between two logs, you are going to come off pretty fast. This is OK, but if your rider-less bike should topple over, your rims are going to be destroyed. Spokes all over and trip over.
Some leftovers from the war probably.
And some sign of life (or death).
We also move into an area where these beautiful rock domes come straight out of the veldt.
We also come across one or two small villages. In the park. All of them draw water from boreholes like this. And even in the park they still harvest wood.
These granite domes fascinate us.
Finally after 265km of riding in the park we come across the first antelope.
At the same time the terrain starts getting sandy. Lovely. This is more like the Mozambique I know.
Brian likes the sand so much, he lies down in it repeatedly. But he is up as quick as he goes down. He takes that open up thing to a new level.
You know the riding is good when you have blood on your face.
We also now pick up a lot of animal spoor, including elephant. The reason, it appears, is that we are now near the Lugenda river. This being the dry season, the game congregate around the rivers.
When we get to Mecula, the only town in the park, we also drop in to the ranger station. They focus mostly on anti poaching it seems.
The reason we drop in there is that we intend going into the concession areas. Contacting the concession people proved fruitless from South Africa. It also proves fruitless by radio from the rangers. We dont want to be rude and crash through their area unannounced, but the ranger (another ex- South African) says he will keep trying to raise them on the radio.
We figure it thus: in these concession areas are villages, so it is not a case of a sole right of use thing. They do have the sole right to hunt and put up lodges, but we are not conducting business within their area, we are just passing through, so they lose no revenue.
On the way from Mecula to the Lugenda Bridge I have my first off at speed from a DS bike. I came off from the plastic many times at speed , but to date all my offs from a DS was at 30km/h or less.
I am the last rider and as the road is a well made, wide, fast one I sit at a relaxed 100-110km/h. I come upon a tributary with a cement causeway, so I dont back off the throttle. The causeway is low on the river and both the approach and the other side is cut down into the river bank. Too late I notice that my line ends about half a metre above the causeway. All I can do is whack the throttle open and pull to try and get the nose up.
When I land the bike bottoms really hard and it gets thrown back up into the air. In this fashion we fly across most of the causeway and come down right where the other bank rises up with a little 30cm step.
Coming down from the sky the suspension can not deal with this either and we again get thrown into the air going up the bank.
This time my backend comes around to the right, quite far, so I can see my saddlebag. This is the bag that is carrying ten liters of fuel, the other one is empty. I still have hope that I can save it if I can just keep things upright when we hit the ground in this sideways position at speed. I almost make it, managing to stay on top and get the backwheel behind the front.
Unfortunately we are pulled off line so much that we leave the road. This being a river bank the side of the road has a drainage ditch and a wall. When we go into the ditch I know that this is not going to end well. All I can do is try to stay on top as long as I can so that we go down at as slow a speed as possible. I believe we went into that ditch at about 80km/h.
Twice I use my right foot against my better judgment and twice it gets ripped past me and mangled between the ditch and my saddle bag. Then we go down. When the dust settles, it appears that there is no real damage except my right ankle that is good and well sprained. I am lucky.
When I get to the others on the Lugenda Bridge Hennie tells that he got caught out in the same way. He and Nardus was riding abreast with Hennie on my line when he also bottomed, flew, bottomed again and then rode most of the uphill balanced over his front wheel.
Our plan is to turn left just over the bridge and follow the Lugenda through Hunting Area C and Hunting Area B.
This is the bridge.
Its late afternoon and we want to find a place to camp asap. Here we come across, or rather, are seeked out by tstetse fly. Phenominally quick, painfull, aggressive little fuckers. This is what they look like.
These things have evolved to follow and feast on herds of game. They sit patiently and wait for as long as it takes until something kicks up dust. Then they go mental.
Hennie is in front and his dust raises clouds of these things. I can see him surrounded by easily 50 tsetse fly. Behind him I have about 30 travelling with me. He is riding without a shirt.
When you stop you are swamped, they come in under the helmet. The only skin showing on me are a couple of centimeters between my glove and shirt. I get bitten here repeatedly while Im riding at 30 odd km/h. The only times they sit still long enough for you to slap them is when they are feeding. And they bite hard. Remember, they are equipped to go through buffalo hide.
As we look for a place to camp it slowly becomes clear that when you stop and the dust settles, so do they. Thats a good thing, otherwise we would not have been able to stop.
We finally make ourselves at home on the river bank.
That night it feels like being in the bush for the first time. Loads of animal spoor and a hippo that crashes around our camp site during the night.
Sort of ironic, the only place with animals are the hunting areas.
If it makes you happy, how can it be that bad?

Talk:Volume (computing)
|WikiProject Computing
|(Rated C-class)
Volume label[edit]
Volume label directs here, but there's no discussion of it in the article... AnonMoos (talk) 09:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Incomplete description[edit]
The main page of this article lacks a description of volumes used in non-FAT file systems.
The article could be improved if there were a few paragraphs on the usage of volumes in non-FAT file systems. Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 01:39, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
ECMA 167's defintion of a logical volume[edit]
According to sections 5.6, 5.7 of part 3 of ECMA-167 (which is the framework for the UDF standard used in removable media such as DVDs,Blue-ray discs, etc.)
A Logical Volume is defined as: A logical volume is a non-empty set of partitions.
A Partition is : An extent of logical sectors within a volume. (An extent means a set of contiguous sectors)
The above definition for logical volume seems quite different from the one mentioned in this article.Of course, the definition might be only within the scope of the ECMA-167 and UDF documents, but these are major standards, and may still be a cause for confusion. (It certainly caused me confusion,because my idea of what a Volume is, was based on this Wikipedia article)
Any expert on the subject can clarify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 14:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
On an IBM Series/1, under the EDX operating system, the name "volume" referred to a concept which was quite similar to a partition in that it was of fixed size and could not have any sub-volumes (except on floppy disks), and was used as a directory with a fixed number of entries. A "partition", however, was the name given to a segment of the main storage (RAM). --Jost Riedel (talk) 15:15, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
what is a boot volume[edit]
what exactly is a "boot volume"?
the term "boot volume" is used in the article, but it is not defined. -- 15:19, 12 November 2011 184.108.40.206
- One which contains bootstrapping code to start a computet. AnonMoos (talk) 03:48, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Proposed merge with Volume (compression)[edit]
Volume (compression) is an unreferenced stub with content similar to Volume (computing). It could be added in a separate section, or perhaps simply just redirect. Senator2029 ➔ "Talk" 22:01, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
- Please merge it, tbh this article isn't great. It has no citations and its a stub. It would be better to merge with Volume (computing) and create a redirect. Thanks, George (My Talk Page) 17:37, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Do not merge this article, I don't know why this was even suggested the two do not have anything to with each other. I think you need to re-read the articles Senator2029 aside from the names they don't have any relevance to each other. their not the same thing and DO NOT belong together--Nerdbits (talk) 02:12, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- In it's current state Volume (compression) could very well be integrated. The problem is, that the Volume (compression) article is not very detailed, to use an understatement. I believe there is more to say about oompressed volumes, across the different OSes and Filesystems (ZFS to name one). To state that they have don't have any relevance to each other is quit bold. Of course when reading about volumes one wants to read about compressed volumes as well. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 10:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Mount Points[edit]
"Mount points have been left at defaults." What does that mean in regard to the following table ? There´s no column header, that says "mount point."

Like a lot of fantasy players, I'll be waiting on drafting a catcher again this year. Catchers and closers are usually where I want to spend my last few picks or dollars, so I need to squeeze as much value out of them as I possibly can, hoping to hit big on a player that could just as likely end up on the wire in a month. There are a number of catchers who fall in this category, but among them is an interesting bounce back candidate in Tigers backstop Alex Avila.The post Bouncing Back: Alex Avila appeared first on Fantasy Baseball Blog at Razzball.com.

Ignorance can be deadly at any age. It's even more so in later life. This is the time of life when understanding how to get the best health care and your understanding of how to select your insurance coverage is most likely to have consequences.
Positive consequences — if you understand the health care system and how well the insurance you choose to buy pays your health care bills. Or, it can have negative consequences — not understanding how the health care system works; and buying the cheapest insurance only to find it doesn't pay as much toward your care as you "thought"
Health care and later life is more complex than it use to be. Think about it ...
•Technology is playing a greater role in our health care system and how you learn about your health insurance.
•Health professions are changing, i.e., more "hospitalists" (who are they?) more nurse practioners (what do they do?) and more physician's assistants (how are they different from a nurse practitioner?) are seeing more patients in place of the family doctor. Do you know what that means? You should.
•Insurance coverage is relying on the consumer to know what is best for him/her, i.e., Original Medicare Vs Medicare Advantage Plans; Do I really need Medicare Part D? Is the Affordable Care Act my only option?
Then we have the issue of "capacity" or "competency" in later life. Capacity meaning the clinical status assessed by a health care professional in response to questions raised about a person's ability make decisions or perform acts. Competency meaning the legal right as determined by the court of a person to make self-directed decisions or perform self-directed legal acts. (source: 18th Annual Geriatric Medicine Symposium, Dementia: Update on Evaluation & Treatment)
What would you do if a health care team and/or your family labeled you too quickly/incorrectly as being incapable of making your own decisions?
These are all subjects that play an important role in the kind of care and how much care you receive.
If you are an Erie County resident, age 60 and older and don't want to be ignorant about your health care in later life, we have a painless way for you to learn. It's a nine-month course titled "How To Be Your Own Health Care Advocate" It starts April 14 and meets one time per month for two hours. Each class covers two different topics. The course is free, but near perfect attendance is required. There are no tests or quizzes, only surveys used to determine how to make each class better/more interesting than the previous class. In the end, what you get out of it is more knowledge so you can maintain your independence. Call Tina Elmlinger, RN for more information at 419-624-1856 or 800-564-1856.
Ask Serving Our Seniors
Q: I am sensing a difference in my memory, but I don't want to tell my doctor. Is there a test I can do myself to see if I should tell my doctor?
A: There is no self-test. It's unfortunate you feel that way, but your sentiments are common. Let me suggest you call Serving Our Seniors and make an appointment to talk to gerontologist Brenda Hendricks so she can explain signs and symptoms; what's normal and what's not. She will be available 2:15-5 p.m. March 20, at the Serving Our Seniors office.

Engraved Signature, Hand Painted Copper emblishments - Edition of 5 12 x 24 Inches Sublimation on Aluminum plates.
With 121 pages of vivid black and white photography, Obscure takes an in depth look at the architecture, skylines and otherwise inaccessible views of Los Angeles through the eyes of one of the city's most seasoned street practitioners.
"If I had to choose one artist to epitomize the heart and soul of the City of Los Angeles it would be Zes. His work thrives on the pulse and energy of this spread out landscape," Saber MSK/AWR writes in the book's foreword. "His photography is his unique perspective, usually perched many perched many stories above looking down with a birdseye view of the city that many will never see. Zes' photographs are superhuman snapshots."

Three-fifths of Health Information Management Directors in the United States have been in the field for more than 10 years. Pay can fall anywhere from $39K to $107K per year, but median earnings come to around $72K per year. The most important factor affecting compensation for this group is geographic location, followed by the company and tenure. A large number report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a fair number collect dental insurance. Work is enjoyable for Health Information Management Directors, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. Women account for the majority of Health Information Management Directors who took the survey — 84 percent to be exact. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

The health information management (HIM) director is the main person responsible for the coding and medical records departments. Because this individual is in charge of multiple departments, they may oversee a large number of employees depending on the size of their facility. These directors generally work in health care and educational facilities. They are responsible for ensuring the facility complies with all compliance laws and guidelines. The HIM director should be capable of implementing new technologies to increase productivity and workflow. Additionally, they are often in charge of monitoring performance in comparison to competitors and other facilities in the same field.Read More...
HIM directors typically work during regular business hours, although some facilities may require longer hours to ensure proper performance and compliance with laws and standards. These directors generally report directly to the operator or general manager of the facility.
This position generally requires at least a bachelor's degree and three to five years of experience in the medical coding or medical records fields. Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) certification is needed as well. Because this position includes managerial responsibilities, experience managing teams may be preferred. HIM directors must have good working knowledge of HIPAA and Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) laws and regulations.
With a median salary of only $43K (just about half of the top paying company's median), Life Care Centers of America lags significantly in the earnings department.
Survey results imply that Health Information Management Directors put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Medical Records, International Statistical Classifications of Diseases - 10 Coding, Electronic Medical Records, and HIPAA Compliance are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Medical Coding. Those proficient in Electronic Medical Records are, more often than not, also skilled in Medical Coding.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
In general, experience and pay appear to be strongly linked; those with more experience usually bring in higher incomes. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $51K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $66K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Health Information Management Directors who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $74K. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $78K.
With a pay rate for Health Information Management Directors that is 53 percent greater than the national average, New York offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Health Information Management Directors will also find cushy salaries in Atlanta (+15 percent) and San Diego (+13 percent). Location is a huge contributor to overall pay, with Health Information Management Directors in Houston earning a whopping 26 percent below the national average.

How to Start a Mom Blog
So let me take a guess? You have always wanted to start a blog, but haven't because you are too busy {story of my life}. You love to
stalk read other mom blogs, but you've told yourself that you just don't have the time to start your own.
Stop procrastinating. Today is your day to start a mom blog!
Four Steps to Getting the Busy Mom Blogging Today:
- Name your Place {Buy Domain}
- Go Shopping {Purchase Hosting}
- It's Time to Accessorize {Install WordPress}
- Choose your Style {Pick a Theme}
Step #1: Name your Place
It's time to buy a domain! Hopefully by now you have thought about what you want your URL to be. If not, you need to decide before going forward.
I chose http://houseofroseblog.com because http://houseofrose.com was already taken. Spend some time thinking about this part because it's something you won't be able to change easily {without compromising your branding}.
1. Go to Bluehost and click the green "SIGN UP NOW" button.
2. Enter a domain name in the left box under "I Need a Domain Name." Make sure ".com" is selected from the drop down menu beside it. Click the "Next" button.
3. Enter your account information. Make sure that you have a valid email address because this is where they will send your log in info.
Step #2: Go Shopping
Isn't shopping one of your favorite hobbies? I bet you didn't realize that even in creating your own blog…you get to shop!
You need to purchase your hosting. Luckily this won't be a purchase your hubby will fall out of his chair over {like when you brought home your last designer handbag}. This purchase is MUCH cheaper and will only cost you $4.95 a month.
4. Under the Package Information tab you will need to choose your "Account Plan". Click on the dropdown menu and choose the plan that you want. I like to make sure that no other boxes are checked except the "Domain Whois Privacy" box which will keep your personal information private {I recommend that}. *Note: If you are registering a new domain this option is available, but if you have an existing domain it won't show up.
5. Fill in the billing information and click "Next".
On the next page you will be asked if you want to add on any upgrades. I recommend skipping them all. You can continue on to complete your purchase.
Step #3: It's Time to Accessorize
Here we are going to be going over how to upload WordPress to the Server {Bluehost}. This sounds more confusing than it is…but I promise accessorizing as never been so easy.
6. Log in to your Bluehost account {you should have received an email with your user id/password information after purchasing your hosting package}. Click "Control Panel Login" and enter your user id and password.
7. Once logged in…click the WordPress icon under "Website Builders".
8. You will get a window that looks like the one below…just click the green "Start" button.
8. Leave this section as is, with your domain showing in the dropdown menu. Click the green "Check Domain" button.
9. Check the box next to "Show advanced options". Then enter your "Site Name or Title," choose an "Admin Username", "Admin Password" and "Admin Email Address". Make sure you check the box next to "I have read the terms and conditions of the GPLv2″. Click the green "Install Now" button.
There you have it… You are done with the hard part! See, wasn't so hard, huh?
Make sure you remember the information you created to access your site. Your site will look VERY basic right now. You created the site, but you do not have a design yet. Follow below for my favorite WordPress themes.
Step #4: Choose your Style
Some people are traditional, some rustic chic, others contemporary. Just like personal style, blogs need personality too. This is where you will pick a theme.
There are tons of different "free" themes that you can choose from. If you are trying to save money then I suggest just choosing a free theme. I use a premium {meaning that it's paid for} theme.
There are two that I would recommend: Thesis and Genesis. This website runs on Genesis.
That's it!
To log in to your new site go to:
Example: http://houseofroseblog.com/wp-admin. Enter your unique user id/password Begin blogging!

Hi Mandy – I just wanted to stop by and thank you for this article! My husband and I recently started a blog and I had used this post as a reference when setting domain name and hosting. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Emily @ Urban Departures´s last blog post ..The Best Reasons to Travel
Thank you SO much for the instructions on setting up a blog. I recently followed all the steps and it was actually very easy, EXCEPT that I seemed to get lost at step #4. I wasn't sure where to find the Thesis or Genesis templates. Somehow I think I ended up selecting something different…which might end up being fine, but I would like to customize it to my liking and that's where I'm a little stuck! Do you have any tricks up your sleeve you could share?
Love your blog! Thanks for everything…janejones
I have been thinking of going to Thesis but I'm not sure. I have genesis but I don't really know how to do custom stuff with it. Thesis has a skin from SocialTriggers that I think looks really clean. So hmmm… Choices 😉 also I been thinking of moving to blue host from hostgator. Is there affiliate program better?

[…] Start a Blog […]
Thanks so much for these steps, I have the passion – so I went for it!!! Now that I've got the tools, I followed your steps, but I'm stuck at #4. I find all kinds of themes on etsy and they all say this:
First and foremost, this premium premade WordPress theme works for SELF-HOSTED WORDPRESS BLOGS ONLY!
This is confusing for a newbie like me, lol. I have my bluehost account, but also have wordpress – like the steps above suggested. Since I don't have a self-hosted blog where do you find a good theme? I fell in love with a few on etsy but most say it must be self-hosted blog to be compatible. Any suggestions? I'm super excited to build my site so any help in the right direction would be AWESOME!
Ooohh! I am confused by this as well, hoping you get a reply. I have a website up and running but I am still confused by what the difference is. I am assuming I am self-hosted….

Hey Mandy! I recently went to WordPress directly and clicked the link that said to start a blog. It gave me the choice of either starting a free blog or the option of purchasing a domain for $18@year. I chose option B…from there, I chose a free theme and after figuring the widgets out a little, I was ready to blog.
After reading this, it seems like I missed a lot of steps, lol! Can you please help with anything that I missed. And one more thing…I used to blog using blogspot and I was wondering if there were any way to get those older posts from my previous blog, over to WordPress? (Without having to pay).

A method for dynamic assignment of slot-dependent static network port addresses. Under the method, a slot address and shelf address are determined for a card modular platform board installed in a given slot in a shelf. The slot and shelf addresses are used as inputs to return a unique network address. The unique network address is then assigned as a static network address for the board's network port. The unique address may be provided by an address proxy, including a boot server. Firmware and/or software stored on a board may also be employed to obtain the static network address. The address may be obtained from a pre-configured lookup table, or dynamically determined using an algorithm.
1. A method, comprising:
determining a shelf address and a slot address of a board installed in a card modular platform, wherein the shelf address corresponds to a physical shelf of the card modular platform and the slot address corresponds to a physical slot location on the shelf of the card modular platform; and
automatically assigning a static network Internet Protocol ("IP") address for at least one network port on the board based on a combination of the shelf address and the slot address, wherein the static network IP address is automatically assigned by performing operations including:
configuring an address proxy server with an address lookup table containing a unique network address for each shelf address and slot address combination;
sending the shelf and slot addresses from the board to the address proxy server;
querying the address lookup table based on the shelf and slot addresses to retrieve a corresponding network address; and
returning the network address to the board.

4. A method comprising:
obtaining, for a network port on a board installed in a card module platform, a temporary IP (Internet Protocol) address from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server;
receiving an initial boot image from the boot server;
determining a shelf address and a slot address of the board installed in the card module platform by executing instructions in the initial boot image;
sending the shelf and slot addresses to a boot server;
receiving a final boot image along with an IP address from the boot server;
executing the final boot image; and
setting a static IP address for the board in accordance with the IP address that was received from the boot server with the final boot image.

a printed circuit board (PCB) on which a plurality of components are operatively coupled and linked in communication via circuitry on the PCB, including,
a processor;
at least one backplane connector, configured to couple to a backplane installed in a card modular platform shelf having a plurality of slots;
a network interface coupled to a network port; and
at least one of a non-volatile storage device or a mass storage device; and
machine executable instructions stored in said at least one of the non-volatile storage device or the mass storage device, which when executed by the processor perform operations in response to insertion of the board into a slot, comprising:
initializing the network interface;
performing client-side operations in a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) message exchange to obtain a temporary IP (Internet Protocol) address from a DHCP server;
receiving an initial boot image from a boot server;
executing instructions in the initial boot image to obtain the shelf and slot addresses;
receiving a final boot image along with a static IP address from the boot server; and
booting the final boot image,
wherein the static IP address that was received from the boot server is assigned by the final boot image as the static IP address for the network port,
wherein the static IP address is assigned dependent upon the shelf and slot addresses and independent of a media access control ("MAC") address of the PCB.

In a typical card modular platform, a plurality of boards are installed in a shelf having a backplane to which each board is communicatively coupled. For example,
In addition, boards may have common IP addresses in certain configurations. For example, if there is an active and standard by board, it is possible for a common IP address to follow the active board. In case of boards in multiple slots do the same function in a load sharing environment, it is possible to have a common IP address for all those boards where a switch implements load sharing using one of many load sharing algorithms. In that case, the traffic is routed through the appropriate ports to different slots.
One common approach is to employ Ethernet for inter-board communication, as illustrated in
In general, telco equipment and the like need to provide 24-7 availability, thus the use of redundancy in the switch fabric and external core switch. At the same time, each slot within a given shelf will be configured for a particular function. Once configured, the configuration remains the same unless a major event warrants reconfiguration. Redundant boards may be used to provide non-stop service. In case of a failure, automatic fail-over to the standby board takes place and the failed board is eventually replaced. This sequence ensures that the operation is not interrupted.
Among the configuration operations is the assignment of an IP address for each of a board's Ethernet ports. In a typical installation, each slot within a shelf may be configured for a particular function, with the possibility of multiple slots used to perform the same function in a load sharing manner. It is possible that boards in certain slots are loaded with pre-configured set of software, including operating systems, drivers, applications, configuration settings, etc. Furthermore, at least a portion of the boards, such as the system manager board/s, is aware of the functions served by the other boards. Accordingly, it is advantageous to assign an IP address for a replacement board that matches the IP address of the board being replaced. Under this consideration, each board is assigned a static IP address, as illustrated by IP addresses 210, as illustrated in
There are several conventional methods for assigning static IP addresses. On method is to manually configure the board with a pre-assigned address. This is time consuming and error prone. It also requires the board to be up and running prior to assigning an address. Another scheme is to employ a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which is normally used to dynamically assign addresses. However, in this instance, it is desired to assign the new replacement board a pre-determined address. DHCP supports this option via an address reservation mechanism. The mechanism works by knowing the MAC (media access channel) address of the board's network port. The MAC address is entered into a DHCP console or the like, along with the pre-assigned address. When the board is installed, a DHCP message exchange occurs during which the board identifies its MAC address and the DHCP server issues the corresponding pre-assigned address. In a somewhat similar manner, IP addresses may be assigned by an Ethernet switch.
While the foregoing DHCP scheme works for assigning static IP addresses, it has its limitations. For example, a critical requirement for all networks is each node must have a unique network address. Most, if not all, DHCP server configuration schemes do not let the same IP address be reserved for more than one MAC address, and thus one board. As a result, it is not possible to configure IP addresses for replacement boards in advance using a conventional DHCP reservation. It is also more complex to access the DHCP server configuration and make changes as the access to it is limited and could consume more time. Besides, the administrator who replaces the board may not have access privileges to make changes to network configurations.
The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified:
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for dynamic assignment of slot-dependent static port addresses and software images are described herein. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth, such as embodiments in which IP network addresses are assigned, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the invention.
Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
In accordance with aspects of this specification, techniques are disclosed for automatically assigning static IP addresses based on the shelf and slot addresses of respective boards in a given card modular equipment where the equipment could be a single shelf or multiple shelves in a rack. In case of multiple shelves, each slot in each shelf will have a unique slot address. Under the technique, a board does not depend on either a DHCP server, fabric board, or manual intervention for the assignment of an static network port IP address (or addresses for a multi-port board). Rather, a static network address is assigned in a manner that is independent of the MAC address of the board, eliminating the overhead and errors associated with the prior art schemes.
An exemplary technique for obtaining static network port addresses in accordance with one embodiment is depicted in
First, a small portion of firmware 306 is executed on client board 300 to perform early initialization of the board, including enabling basic network communications. For example, to support Ethernet networks, a network interface that supports Ethernet is initialized.
The next set of operations involves an exchange of messages between client board 300 and DHCP server 302 to obtain a temporary IP address. For simplicity, this message exchange is depicted as a DHCP IP address request and a DHCP acknowledge. In practice, the series of communications exchanges comprises the following:
The foregoing illustrates a sequence under which a single DHCP server receives the DHCP_Discover message. Under some circumstances, multiple DHCP servers may receive the DHCP_Discover message, and offer respective IP addresses in response. Under this circumstance, the client board will select one of the offered IP addresses. The net result is that the client board will end up with a temporary IP address 308. The particular address is not important, and will generally relate to the IP address scope allotted to the DHCP server by an administrator. At this point, the client board 300 can communicate with other network entities via unicasts rather than broadcasts.
The remaining message exchanges are between the client board 300 and the PXE server 304 (or a co-located DHCP/PXE server). In general, a PXE server is used to provide bootable operating system (OS) images to network clients, thus removing the requirement of the client needing to store a local OS image and applications on local hard disk drives (HDDs) or flash ROMs (read-only memories. Even if images and applications are stored locally in flash memory or on a local HDD, the same technique may be used to update the OS and image. In addition to this function, PXE server 304 also serves the function of a network address proxy. That is, the PXE server is configured to allocate network address in lieu of a conventional address allocated, such as a DHCP server or a domain controller.
In order to exchange messages with PXE server 304, client board 300 needs to know the PXE server's network address, and a transmission protocol needs to be established. In one embodiment, if the DHCP and PXE servers reside on the same machine, the response to the DHCP request above will contain information needed by the client to start a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) session. TFTP is a simplified transmission protocol that does not require the overhead of more robust protocols, such as the TCP/IP protocol used for most network traffic. If the DHCP and PXE servers are hosted by separate machines (necessitating separate network addresses) and the DHCP server is configured to know the IP address of PXE server 304, the PXE server's address will be included in the DHCP message exchange, such as depicted by a PXE server address 309. The client board 300 will then contact PXE server 304 via PXE server address 309 to obtain information for starting a TFTP session. If the DHCP server does not have address information for the PXE server, the client may broadcast a PXE discover message akin to the DHCP discover message discussed above to locate the PXE server. Upon receiving the PXE discover message, the PXE server will respond with information for starting a TFTP session, including it's network address.
The series of message exchanges between client board 300 and PXE server 304 begins with a PXE download request message sent from the client board to the PXE server via TFTP. In response to receiving the request, the PXE server 304 returns an initial boot image 310 via TFTP to the client board.
Upon receiving the initial boot image 310, the image is executed by the client board, as depicted by a block 312. In general, the initial boot image comprises a generic or common boot image that is applicable for initializing various different types of client boards and is independent of a board's slot number. Included in the initial boot image (or otherwise already stored on the client board) are instructions to enable the client board to obtain its shelf and slot addresses in a block 314. This operation may be performed in one of several manners, depending on the particular board type and/or configuration.
For example, in one embodiment client board 300 is configured as a PICMG 3.0 (PCI (peripheral component interface) Industrial Computers Manufacturing Group)-compliant board. Accordingly, client board 300 sends IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) commands GetAddressInfo and GetShelfAddressInfo over a KCS (Keyboard Controller Style, an IPMI messaging protocol) interface to obtain the slot and shelf addresses, respectively. If a KCS interface is not implemented, similar information may be retrieved through another type of interface, such as a propriety interface.
In further detail, a GetAddressInfo command is sent by the initial boot image on the client board to its own IPMC (IPMI Controller). The IPMC's response contains several fields including one called "Site ID" which is the same as the board's slot number. The response also contains its IPMB (Intelligent Peripheral Management Bus) address, which is used in the "Send Message" command described below. The request and response data are described in Table 3-8, of the PICMG 3.0 specification.
Next, a GetShelfAddressInfo command (as per Table 3-12, PICMG 3.0) is sent by the initial boot image to the Shelf Manager (at 20 h IPMB address) using the "Send Message" command format described in Table 18-9, IPMI V1.5 Specification. The initial boot image on the client board then sends a GetShelfAddressInfo command to its IPMC to fetch response data. The response contains the Shelf Address field.
In another embodiment, client board 300 is configured in accordance with the CompactPCI standard. In this case, the board's OEM (original equipment manufacturer) may define OEM-specific IPMI commands to determine the slot and shelf address to uniquely identify the board in a given facility.
In a block 316, a final boot image is determined for the client board. Unlike the generic initial boot image 310, the final boot image will typically pertain to a particular board configuration or type. In one embodiment, a set of available final boot images is provided to the client board in the initial boot image 310. After the final boot image has been determined, a download request for the same is sent via TFTP from the client board to PXE server 304. The TFTP request also includes slot and shelf address data 318.
In response to receiving the final boot image download request, PXE server 304 retrieves a corresponding image and returns it to client board 300. At the same time, the PXE server determines an IP address (or multiple addresses in the case of multi-port boards) to allocate client board 300 based on shelf and slot data 318. In one embodiment, a pre-configured lookup table 320 is stored by PXE server 304, or otherwise made available for access to the PXE server. For example, in the latter instance a central configuration server may store an IP address lookup table for an entire system that uses multiple PXE servers.
An exemplary configuration for lookup table 320 is shown in
In one embodiment, a final boot image 322 is returned to the client board 300, along with an embedded or attached assigned IP address 324. In another embodiment, the final boot image and assigned IP address are sent as separate TFTP payloads.
The address configuration process is completed in a block 326, wherein the final boot image 322 is loaded and/or executed, and a static IP address corresponding to assigned IP address 324 is assigned by the operating system of client board 300. Henceforth, other system components, such as boards 204A-G, will be able to communicate with the new board via the assigned IP address 324.
Next, determination of the boot source is performed, as depicted by a block 404 and decision block 406. For example, a bootable image may be loaded from a flash device, a hard disk (HD), a CD-ROM, a floppy disk (FD), etc. Once the boot source is determined, the bootable OS image is booted (i.e., loaded and/or executed) in a block 408.
The remaining operations in blocks 410, 412, and 414 relate to obtaining a static network address. In one embodiment, the bootable OS image includes instructions for performing these operations. In another embodiment, firmware stored on the client board includes instructions for performing the operations. In yet another embodiment, the instructions are provided via a combination of firmware and the operating system image.
In block 410 the shelf and slot addresses are obtained. This process is similar to that discussed above for the PXE Server embodiment. For example, GetAddressInfo and GetShelfAddressInfo IPMI commands may be employed for PICMG-compliant boards, or OEM IPMI commands may be used for configurations such as CompactPCI-based platforms.
Next, in block 412, an IP address is determined using the shelf and slot addresses as inputs. In one embodiment, an algorithm is employed to generate the addresses. For installations in which local booting is used system-wide, a single algorithm may be employed to guarantee unique IP address assignment. For example, the shelf address may be used to generate an IP sub-mask, while the slot address may be used to generate the non-masked portion of the IP address. In another embodiment, an IP address lookup table similar to lookup table 320 may be used. In general, a copy of the IP address lookup table may be stored on the client board, locally accessible to the client board (e.g., stored in a component accessible to all boards within a common shelf), or accessible via a network connection. In this latter case, means for accessing the network will be enabled prior to retrieving the lookup table.
The process is completed in a block 414, wherein the network address determined in block 412 is assigned as a static IP address by the operating system. This operation can be performed using well-known techniques particular to a given operating system; accordingly, further details are not provided herein.
The foregoing schemes provide several advantages over known network address allocation schemes. It enables field-replaceable units to readily identify itself in highly dense modular server environments. The network address of a failed board and its replacement are the same, enabling the replacement process to appear completely transparent to other system components. There is no manual configuration required, nor is there any special programming that needs to be made at a DHCP server or Ethernet switch. The scheme is easily scalable, with lookup tables being support both at a local PXE server and centralized server levels.
Firmware for the board and/or persistent data will typically be stored on some type of non-volatile storage device 508. Non-volatile storage devices include, but are not limited to, Read-Only Memory (ROM), Flash memory, Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM), Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), or the like memory. In cases where OS and image sizes are large, for example, IA (Intel Architecture) single board computers (SBCs), the images are stored in volatile memory such as DRAM. In this case, the image is loaded into the volatile memory every time power is cycled.
Each board will include a set of connectors 510 that are used to couple the board to a common backplane or the like. In general, the set of connectors 510 will be compatible with the backboard standard or configuration employed for the platform, and are used to provide inter-board communication paths via the backplane, as well as communication paths to external network entities. The backplane (not shown) will typically provide power to each board (e.g., −48 volts for telco boards), although a power converter such as a DC-DC converter may be provided by a board to ensure appropriate voltage and current levels are available for the various components mounted to PCB 502. A network interface 512 will be provided to facilitate network communication, such as but not limited to an Ethernet network interface controller.
Some boards may provide various types of mass storage, including a hard disk drive 514. Optional mass storage devices that may also be provided include removable machine-readable media peripherals, such as a CD-ROM drive 516, floppy drive 518, Zip drive, tape drive 520, etc.
The machine-executable instructions for performing the various board operations discussed above will generally be embodied as firmware and/or software instructions that are executed on processor(s) 504. The firmware and/or software instructions will typically be provided via a machine-readable medium. For the purposes of this specification, a machine-readable medium includes any mechanism that provides (i.e., stores and/or transmits) information in a form readable or accessible by a machine (e.g., one or more processors 504). For example, a machine-readable medium includes, but is not limited to, recordable/non-recordable media (e.g., a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk storage media, an optical storage media, a flash memory device, etc.).
The above description of illustrated embodiments of the invention, including what is described in the Abstract, is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. While specific embodiments of, and examples for, the invention are described herein for illustrative purposes, various equivalent modifications are possible within the scope of the invention, as those skilled in the relevant art will recognize.
These modifications can be made to the invention in light of the above detailed description. The terms used in the following claims should not be construed to limit the invention to the specific embodiments disclosed in the specification and the claims. Rather, the scope of the invention is to be determined entirely by the following claims, which are to be construed in accordance with established doctrines of claim interpretation.

1858 Three Dollar Gold, MS621858 $3 MS62 NGC. The 1858 three dollar gold was a meager production of only 2,133 circulation strikes plus a handful of proofs, estimated by Bowers at 10 to 14 pieces. He writes that "as the limited mintage suggests, the 1858 is the rarest three-dollar gold piece of the 1850s. So far as is known, all went into circulation and none were deliberately saved." Well-heeled collectors of the day, of course, preferred proof examples to business strikes. The present MS62 NGC example takes a two-toned approach, mellow orange-gold around the peripheries with a distinctive touch of lilac framing the facial features of Liberty. A couple of thin marks on the cheek and into the left obverse field help account for the grade, as does a comma-shaped mark near 6 o'clock on the lower reverse at the rim. The strike is surprisingly sharp on the central details of each side, further enhancing the considerable eye appeal. Census: 3 in 62, 1 finer (11/12).(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 25MC, PCGS# 7978)

Viper team wins engineering award
LIVONIA, MICH. (Oct. 31, 4:40 p.m. ET) — Part of the SRT Dodge Viper's roof line dips down into the rear window glass. It might look like a quirk of design to set the sports car apart from its competitors. Instead, it's one small example of how an engineering team from Chrysler Group LLC and a handful of suppliers worked together to create a new way to integrate electronics into the car — and also shows why the car won the Vehicle Engineering Team Award from the Society of Plastics Engineers.

Storming the field may look like all fun and games, but there are plenty of stories to the contrary. Here are some instances that might make you think twice about rushing the field:
To storm or not to storm: Taking safety into consideration for storming the field
1993: Michigan at Wisconsin
In perhaps one of the ugliest scenes of post-game delirium, Wisconsin fans got trapped behind a fence as Badger faithful stormed the field after a marquee victory against Michigan. The fence eventually collapsed, and the people who fell with it were trampled. Sixty-five fans, mostly students, were taken to area hospitals with broken bones, cuts and bruises.
1994: Wyoming at Colorado State
A security guard with a chest bruise and a fan with a broken ankle were admitted to the hospital after Colorado State fans rushed the field after defeating rival Wyoming. At least six others visited the hospital as well.
2000: Tennessee at Georgia
The storied hedges at Georgia were destroyed when fans stormed the field after the Bulldogs defeated the Vols for the first time in 12 years. Some Georgia fans were on the field in the end zone before the game even ended, forcing the referees to stop the game and push everyone back off the turf. One female student was trampled and sent to the hospital, Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer was tackled, and several student managers were knocked down in the melee. Georgia fans also ripped out stadium seats and caused wheelchair ramps to collapse.

Displaying 1-5 of 5
Rough claims 3 and 4, Kechika River, Sifton Pass, Liard Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada
Miniature, 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.75 cm
Originates from the type locality and is a co-type specimen! A member of the Hollandite Supergroup, this miniature consists of white barite matrix with black veinlets of this rare barium titanium vanadium oxide Ex. Basil R. Halhed and Paulo Matioli collections.
Wheal Carpenter, Fraddam, Gwinear-Gwithian, Cornwall, England, UK
Miniature, 3.5 x 3.0 x 1.5 cm
A rich, classic, specimen of botryoidal, green cornwallite in a boxwork, matrix with quartz, granular massive barite, and goethite from Wheal Carpenter, Fraddam, Gwinear-Gwithian, Cornwall, England, UK. Cornwallite is the arsenate analogue of malachite. British Museum of Natural History label indicating it was collected by Arthur Kingsbury in 1952 and verified via XRD by Mike Rumsey in 2007. A nice specimen with good provenance. Ex. British Museum and Paulo Matioli collections.
Frizington, Cumberland, Cumbria, England
Small Cabinet, 6.4 x 6 x 4.7 cm
The very fine blue Barites from Frizington are true classics. The largest crystal here (3.5 cm) is doubly-terminated, as are a number of the other crystals. The luster is outstanding, and the grey-blue color is both delicate and dazzling in its own way. The Barites rest on a bed of lustrous, curvaceous Dolomite crystals, and these are decorated by thousands of iridescent, micro Specular Hematites. The aesthetics are truly distinctive, and it displays vertically or horizontally. The overall form and shape hides the fact that one Barite on each side, low and out of the way, has been cleaved, although it is hard to spot in the overall 3-dimensional frontal presentation. This piece is that good, that if perfect, it would command several times higher a price. As it is, it still displays wonderfully and looks like it should cost far more. It is a truly classical example of these fine old specimens, in just the right size! Better in person.
Denton, Rosiclare Level, Harris Creek, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
Small Cabinet, 6.1 x 4.9 x 3.0 cm
Tabular, lustrous and translucent, straw yellow, Baryte crystals, to 2.2 cm across contrast nicely with a lustrous and translucent, deep lavender colored cube of fluorite measuring 3.4 cm on an edge. Mined in July 1982 from the northwest edge of the main ore body. Collected by Ross Lillie from a basketball sized pocket. RCL 0340.
Minerva #1, Rosiclare Level, Cave-in-Rock, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
Cabinet, 12.2 x 8.7 x 7.2 cm
Overgrowing a core of fluorite are tabular crystals, to 2.3 cm across, of sparkling, snow-white Baryte. Perched nicely on the Baryte are lustrous and translucent, light amber colored calcite crystals to 5.6 cm in length. This largest calcite is also doubly terminated. From advance mining in northeast drift. This is another really unique, aesthetic specimen from the Lillie collection. Previous dealer price on this was $3500 in the collection sale, and it is frankly worth that, in my opinion (though we amortized most prices downward in making a large deal to bring these to the web.) RCL0215
