Elements of Network Security
The primary objective of a network security system is to, in a cost effective manner, balance convenient access to legitimate users and inaccessibility to attackers. In a nutshell, the goal is to prevent connectivity to anyone intending to cause harm to the network. The harm to which this paper refers can come in the following forms: 1.Application-level security threats, such as e-mail viruses and attachments. 2.Threats to network infrastructure devices.
3.Theft of network connectivity services.
4.Unauthorized access from internal and external sources.
5.Denial of service attacks.
Using a proper network security strategy reduces and, in some cases, even avoids the listed harmful attacks from occurring on a network (Gary, T., et al, Mar. 2002). This paper will discuss such a strategy used by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), as well as the strategy's three primary elements: prevention, detection, and recovery. Prevention
Surprisingly, the most common threat to a company's information assets does not come from the sly and cunning computer hacker that is glamorized by Hollywood movies, but from human error, inappropriate disclosures, and sheer carelessness on the part of the company's employees. Hackers who do intentionally tamper with the company's network often do so because they are tempted by assets they know are poorly protected. Weak security policies present the image that a company does not truly value its assets, which in turn attracts the petty thief and curiosity seeker. Therefore, the preventive element of any network security system should include a strong and enforceable security policy for its employees to follow, re-enforced by a form of technical protection (Control Data, 1999). Firewalls, antivirus programs and packet filtering devices are used to...

Harajuku Arm Warmers
Also found in:
♠ Arm Warmers ♠ Tabbisocks ♠ Wool ♠ Warm! ♠ Autumn ♠ Solid ♠ Cosplay
Many colors, great fit, a staple anyone who ever gets cold hands should have at least one pair. Simple, thick woolly arm warmers with thumb holes. From the labels: "Harajuku chic make you hot!"
One size - should fit small to large hands nicely. About 11 inches from cuff to cuff when unstretched, except for Dark Brown, California Orange, Red, and Dark Cyan which are about 12 inches. These will be shorter once on your arms, usually about 10 inches. These can stretch up to the elbow on some people, but they prefer to hang out midway up the forearm.
Additional Info: The turquoise was very hard to get right in the image, it is a really pretty clear blue with green tones.
Made in Japan.
Fiber Content: 80% acrylic, 15% nylon, 5% wool.
For either blend, hand or machine wash cold water, lay flat to dry. We think these are very soft, but those sensitive to wool may find them itchy.
Label: Tabbisocks
A little extra warmth without bulk is perfect for the cold gym, but I'm finding that I love them as a sleeve extension under sweaters and thermals. If you don't know about arm warmers-- get educated!

The following credited to: On the Issues
Q: In your 1988 campaign you said, "All drugs should be decriminalized. Drugs should be distributed by any adult to other adults. There should be no controls on production, supply or purchase for adults." Is that still your position?
Ron Paul Answer (A): Yeah. It's sort of like alcohol. Alcohol's a deadly drug, kills more people than anything else. And today the absurdity on this war on drugs has just been horrible. Now the federal government takes over and overrules states where state laws permit medicinal marijuana 1 for people dying of cancer. The federal government goes in and arrests these people, put them in prison with mandatory sentences. This war on drugs is totally out of control. If you want to regulate cigarettes and alcohol and drugs, it should be at the state level. That's where I stand on it. The federal government has no prerogatives on this.
Q: But you would decriminalize it?
A: I would, at the federal level. I don't have control over the states. And that's why the Constitution's there.
Source: Meet the Press: 2007 "Meet the Candidates" series Dec 23, 2007
Q: If you are elected president in 2008, what positive and significant legacy, if any, will you leave for Black Americans?
A: I would like to believe that if we had a freer society, it would take care of Blacks and whites and everybody equally because we're all individuals. To me, that is so important. But if we had equal justice under the law, I think it would be a big improvement. If we had probably a repeal of most of the federal laws on drugs and the unfairness on how Blacks are treated with these drugs laws, it would be a tremendous improvement. And also, I think that if you're going to have prosperity, it serves everybody. And if this is done by emphasizing property rights and freedom of the individuals, making sure that the powerful special interests don't control Washington, that the military industrial complex doesn't suck away all the wealth of the country, and then we would have prosperity.
Source: 2007 GOP Presidential Forum at Morgan State University Sep 27, 2007
Q: What policy would you support to guarantee young Black and Latino men a fairer equal justice system?
A: A system designed to protect individual liberty will have no punishments for any group and no privileges. Today, I think inner-city folks and minorities are punished unfairly in the war on drugs. For instance, Blacks make up 14% of those who use drugs, yet 36 percent of those arrested are Blacks and it ends up that 63% of those who finally end up in prison are Blacks. This has to change. We don't have to have more courts and more prisons. We need to repeal the whole war on drugs. It isn't working. We have already spent over $400 billion since the early 1970s, and it is wasted money. Prohibition didn't work. Prohibition on drugs doesn't work. So we need to come to our senses. And, absolutely, it's a disease. We don't treat alcoholics like this. This is a disease, and we should orient ourselves to this. That is one way you could have equal justice under the law.

On the issue of drugs, we have spent nearly five hundred billion dollars on the War on Drugs, since the 1970s. Total failure. Some day, we have to admit it. Today, we have the federal government going into states that have legal medical marijuana, arresting people–undermining state laws–arresting people who use marijuana when they're dying with cancer and AIDS, and it's done with, as a compassionate conservative. And it doesn't work.
What it does, it removes the ability to states to do their things, and also introduces the idea that it's the federal government that will get to decide whether we get to take vitamins, and alternative medical care, or whatever. Most of our history, believe it or not, had no drug laws. Prohibition has been an absolute failure for alcohol. Drug addiction is a medical problem. It's not a problem of the law.

Paul believes in the legalization of industrial hemp. Paul supported HR 3037 to amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana. This bill would have given the states the power to regulate farming of hemp. The measure would be a first since the national prohibition of industrial hemp farming in the United States. He favors the legalization of marijuana.
Source: SourceWatch.org Jan 22, 2007
For the first 140 years of our history, we had essentially no federal war on drugs, and far fewer problems with drug addiction and related crimes as a consequence. In the past 30 years, even with the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the drug war, little good has come of it. We have vacillated from efforts to stop the drugs at the source to severely punishing the users, yet nothing has improved.
The drug war encourages violence. Government violence against nonviolent users is notorious and has led to the unnecessary prison overpopulation. Innocent taxpayers are forced to pay for all this so-called justice. Our drug eradication project (using spraying) around the world, from Colombia to Afghanistan, breeds resentment because normal crops and good land can be severely damaged. Local populations perceive that the efforts and the profiteering remain somehow beneficial to our own agenda in these various countries.
Source: House speech, in Foreign Policy of Freedom, p.159-160 Oct 25, 2001
Loss of hope in the future has driven many to think only of the present, making a drug-induced high the first priority in many people's lives. Young people feel helpless against their government's inability to provide economic prosperity or safety from a nuclear holocaust. Teenage suicide statistics are a frightening revelation of this feeling of hopelessness.
The drug craze reflects the desperate feeling of many. Young people remains skeptical of a generation that kills ten times as many with alcohol as with hard drugs and yet pontificates about the dangers of smoking marijuana. Lack of consistency never contributes to credibility.

Paul scores A by VOTE-HEMP on pro-hemp legalization policies
VOTE HEMP is a non-profit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and free market for Industrial Hemp. Industrial Hemp is non-psychoactive low THC varieties of the cannabis sativa plant. Currently, it is illegal for U.S. farmers to grow Industrial Hemp because it is improperly classified as a "drug" under the Controlled Substances Act. Since changes in law require shifts in thinking and this requires education in the facts, our primary goal is the education of legislators and regulators, farmers and businesses, students and other concerned citizens.

Paul scores +30 by the NORML on drug reform
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 NORML scores as follows:
About NORML (from their website, www.norml.org):
National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Law's mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty.
NORML is a nonprofit, public-interest lobby that for more than 30 years has provided a voice for those Americans who oppose marijuana prohibition. We represent the interests of the tens of millions of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly and believe the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana should no longer be a crime.
NORML supports the removal of all criminal penalties for the private possession & responsible use of marijuana by adults, including the cultivation for personal use, and the casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts. This model is called "decriminalization."
NORML additionally supports the development of a legally controlled market for marijuana, where consumers could purchase it from a safe, legal and regulated source. This model is referred to as "legalization."
NORML believes that marijuana smoking is not for kids and should only be used responsibly by adults. As with alcohol consumption, it must never be an excuse for misconduct or other bad behavior. Driving or operating heavy equipment while impaired from marijuana should be prohibited.
NORML strongly supports the right of patients to use marijuana as a medicine when their physician recommends it to relieve pain and suffering.
Lastly, NORML supports the right of farmers to commercially cultivate hemp for industrial purposes, such as food and fiber production.

I know that most people get off with a fine and probation for first time offense. But has anyone been through this in North Carolina? When does drug testing start? What are the usual terms of probation? supervised or unsupervised? I don't live anywhere near Burlington... so will i be assigned an officer closer to where I live? or is unsupervised probation more likely?

Cover Story: Louanne Roark – A Passion for Service
By: Karen A. Newman
Posted: February 11, 2008, from the February 2008 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 5 of 7"And, I can't say enough about the 10,000 volunteers who support the program or the countless health care professionals who refer patients to LGFB across the country," says Roark. "Each and every one of these supporters makes a positive difference in our ability to reach and serve women, men and teens with cancer. We couldn't do it without them."
Most of the program volunteers are beauty professionals who Roark says are natural educators—a trait that comes through effortlessly in the LGFB programs. "Participants immediately feel it and respond positively," she says. "Every time I attend a LGFB workshop, I always leave feeling grateful for their contributions and hoping that I might be able to emulate even a small percentage of their generosity and kindness. Day after day, they go out of their way to help others—using their own time and sometimes even their own resources to give a part of themselves to make someone else's day brighter and more hopeful."
Of the LGFB participants, Roark says she admires "their resilience, courage and humor in the face of an often frightening and overwhelming illness. Their embrace of life and appreciation of the things that really matter offers an example to each and every one of us to appreciate what we have and those who love and care for us."
A Changing Landscape
While a great deal of effort goes into the participant program, attention is continually being paid to the environment in which LGFB operates, an environment Roark says has changed significantly in the past 10 years. Cancer treatments have become more targeted; early diagnosis is offering patients a greater opportunity for successful treatment. What's more, AIDS, diabetes and heart disease, in particular, now aggressively compete for mind share among consumers and funders alike, decreasing the attention on cancer and cancer support programs such as LGFB. However, cancer diagnosis numbers remain at more than one million new cases each year. "As a result, the need to educate our target audience and the public about our service remains high, so our challenge is to deliver our message and reach our audience in a more crowded, competitive 'market space'," says Roark. The good news is that LGFB stands alone in the programs it offers.
Still, it is against this landscape that LGFB must focus on clearly defining how the program should grow, and creating ways to reach the goals it sets. "Another change we are watching carefully and employing strategies to address is the changing state of information delivery, educational models and cancer treatments to ensure that LGFB remains modern and relevant and continues to offer a service that is [of] high value to participants," says Roark. She and her team are looking at ways in which they can take advantage of technology, and they are considering webcast technology to deliver virtual LGFB workshops to participants in remote or isolated areas. There is much value to being part of the program with other participants, says Roark. "When they sit together in that room, you see magic happen. They are nervous at first and relaxed and laughing in 10 to 15 minutes." They leave knowing there are others they can keep in touch with. Roark believes that virtual program delivery could still give participants that important benefit.

Instead, I find myself subject to troublesome dreams much like doomed Clarence in Shakespeare's Richard III: "O, I have pass'd a miserable night,So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams."
And lately, these ugly sights and ghastly dreams come to me like clockwork: three or four times a week, within a few hours of when I fall asleep.
They are not precisely nightmares; no bloody visions, no phantasms popping out in front of me or monsters chasing me. But they are all the more frightening precisely because of their mundane settings and friendly faces.
Susan, the love of my life for more than half of my life, and I will be having a conversation in our bedroom or kitchen. Simple talk, shopping list stuff. And before I know it, there is a shift. The conversation will go on, but it seems as if there is an undertone of menace. The innocuous words cannot disguise the fact that the longer I stay there, the more danger I'm in from this person, who, I now think, may or may not be my wife after all.
Most recently, I dreamed I was driving late at night on a straight road in a raging storm. I cannot see the road in front of me, do not know if there are any other cars on the road. I know I'm driving slowly, but not slowly enough for the howling winds and slippery road. And I cannot slow down or pull over.
There are people in the back seat who, by the logic of dreams, I know to be my wife and youngest son. It is her hands that reach forward and grab the wheel, presumably to get us safely off the road. It won't work, I try to tell her, but my mouth is too dry to speak. This is where it will all end: in a ditch, in a world of black night and gray snow and sleet. And in each case, I wake up in the wee hours and cannot go back to sleep. Sometimes, the details will fade, and I am left with only the dread.
I'm not one for dream analysis, the psychoanalyst's sandbox of the id. I'm with the boys in the lab on this one: Dreams are nothing more than the brain's flotsam and jetsam being filed away somewhere in the twists and folds of the old gray matter.
And yet, the Bible reminds me that there was a time, before Facebook and Twitter, when God himself was communicating in dreams and visions to beat the band.
There was Ezekiel's vision in the Valley of Dry Bones, and John's special-effects blockbuster ("REVELATION - THE MOVIE: GOD IS COMING ... AND HE'S NOT HAPPY"). Even the beloved Christmas story is filled with dreams - especially for Joseph, who, it seems, did not get a decent night's sleep after Mary became pregnant. Angels came to him in his sleep and told him Mary's child was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Another dream told him to get out of Israel, and still another dream angel told him it was safe to go home.
It is the waking world, though, where I am reminded that love is flesh and blood, and, that, in truth, my love's smile hides nothing at all.

MAX LUCADO writes a story in which he describes a fictional village inhabited by wooden people called Wemmicks, the creation of a wood carver named Eli who lives in a house above their village. The Wemmicks engage in one activity. They give each other STICKERS. If a Wemmick is pretty or talented he or she receives yellow STAR stickers. But if a Wemmick is not pretty or talented, then they are given gray dot stickers. A Wemmick named Punchinello had no star stickers and was covered with many gray dot stickers. One day he met a Wemmick named Lucia who had no stickers at all on her wooden body and when Punchinello asked her how this was possible, she directed him to visit his creator, the woodcarver, Eli. Eli scooped him up into his arms and said, "Looks like you've been given some bad marks."
"I didn't mean to, I tried really hard" said Punchinello. "Oh, you don't have to defend yourself to me, child. I don't care what the other Wemmicks think. Who are they to give stars or dots? They're Wemmicks just like you. What they think doesn't matter, Punchinello. All that matters is what I think. And I think you are pretty special." Eli looked at Punchinello, put his hands on those small wooden shoulders, and spoke very slowly. "Because you're mine. That's why you matter to me." "I came because I met someone who had no marks," said Punchinello. "Why don't the stickers stay on her?" The maker spoke softly. "Because she has decided that what I think is more important than what they think. You see, the stickers only stick if you let them. The stickers only stick if they matter to you. The more you trust my love, the less you care about their stickers. You are special because I made you. And I don't make mistakes." As Punchinello walked home he thought, "I think he really means it." And when he did, a dot fell to the ground.
ALL OF YOU! All of us are PRECIOUS in God's sight. And there is a great freeing power in that knowledge. When we know how priceless we are to God, stickers don't stick and the cell doors in our lives swing open.
Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are GOD'S workmanship — His masterpiece — created in Christ Jesus to do [specific] good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

19Chris Connally
Connally is in his ninth season as the Lumberjack hitting instructor and camp director.
Last season under Connally's watch as the Lumberjack baseball program had a record-setting year from junior shortstop Hunter Dozier, who became the first player in program history to be taken in the first round and the highest Southland Conference selection of any baseball player when he was selected eighth overall by the Kansas City Royals.
In a three-year career, Connally coached Dozier to first-team All-America honors and SLC Player and Hitter of the Year awards in 2013. In his junior season, Dozier led the conference in batting average, slugging percentage, doubles, home runs and total bases in 2013, and finished the regular season ranked among the nation's top five in each category. Dozier left Nacogdoches as the school's all-time leader in both hits and doubles. He also owns the single-season record for multi-hit games and doubles.
In addition to the All-America honors, Dozier became the first 'Jack in program history to be named a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award. He was also a national finalist for both the Brooks Wallace Award (nation's top shortstop), and semifinalist for the Dick Howser Award (top player).
In 2012, the 'Jacks had the best offense in the league for a second consecutive year, leading the SLC in team batting average, hits and doubles. SFA was the only school in conference to hit over .300 as a team, with a team batting average of.301.
Connally has coached a four MLB draftees in his time in Nacogdoches, as Steven Hill and Jared Pitts who were both selected in the 2007, Bryson Myles who was selected in 2011, and Dozier in the 2013 Major League Baseball draft. Hill was named the SLC Hitter and Player of the Year in 2007 and, at the time, left SFA as the school's all-time leader in nearly every offensive category before Myles arrival in 2011. Myles was the conference player, hitter and newcomer of the year in 2011, rewriting the history books in his name after one season at SFA.
Twelve `Jack hitters have been named to the all-conference squad since 2006, including Hill in 2007, All-American Bryson Myles in 2011 and most recently Ricardo Sanchez and All-American Hunter Dozier in 2012. The `Jacks led the Southland in home runs in 2007, mashing 73 to set a new school record. SFA also set a new school record in batting average in 2010, hitting .325. Nearly every SFA offensive record has been claimed by one of Connally's players in the last six seasons.
Prior to coming to Nacogdoches, Connally spent three seasons as an assistant baseball coach focusing on hitting and fielding at the Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth, Texas, under head coach Johnny Miller. While there he was able to tutor a pair of future collegiate players including Louisville shortstop John Dao, and Texas Tech catcher Clayton Snodgrass.
Following his time with TVS, Connally went to the Westside Baseball Academy in Fort Worth, where he served as the hitting director as well as facilitating camp and clinic opportunities.
In 2001, he served as an assistant coach with TCU, where he coached hitting, and worked with the Horned Frog outfielders.
Connally earned a Bachelor of Science degree from TCU in 2000, where he was a standout on the baseball diamond. Connally was a two-time first-team All-WAC athlete who earned All-America honors in 1997. He belted 40 home runs in his two seasons at TCU and set the school's single-season home run record (23) in 1997. Those records still stand today. He followed that up by setting TCU's single-season mark in runs batted in (80) the following year.
Connally's collegiate career began at McClennan Community College where he was a two-time all-conference and all-region selection. He hit 30 home runs during his two seasons at as a Highlander and earned All-America honors in 1996.
He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs organization in 1998 and spent his first season with the Williamsport Cubs of the New York Penn League before moving on to the Daytona Cubs where he would finish up his professional career. While at Williamsport, Connally finished the season tied for the league lead in home runs with 10 and was named to the all-star team.
Connally resides in Nacogdoches.

Aradhana Seth at Chemould Prescott Road Gallery
As a production designer for movies such as The Bourne Supremacy, Don: The Chase Begins and The Darjeeling Unlimited, Aradhana Seth has had to fashion many a home from scratch. So it's somewhat fitting that for her first art show, Seth has created a series of paintings and photographs depicting various rooms of an imagined house. Just as with a real house, Seth suggests you walk around exploring every nook and cranny—her metal canvases, painted in the flat style seen on billboards in villages and towns across the country, are hung in unlikely places (like bathroom doors). Pay close attention and you'll even spy the subtle presence of Seth's famous sibling, author Vikram Seth.

Chicane at Blue Frog
Lower Parel music venue Blue Frog urges us to "get nostalgic" at British electronica act Chicane's gig this Saturday night. Chicane, aka Nick Bracegirdle, is best known for the stream of club smashes he had in the 1990s, including the Bryan Adams-featuring UK No.1 "Don't Give Up".

Florida deputies: Fake cop wanted cheap doughnuts
Charles T. "Chuck" Barry arrested in Tampa area
Published On: Nov 13 2013 01:15:18 PM EST Updated On: Nov 13 2013 01:17:41 PM EST
A Florida man is facing charges that he impersonated a law enforcement officer in attempt to get a discount on doughnuts.
Pasco County Sheriff's deputies say 48-year-old Charles T. "Chuck" Barry tried to use the ploy twice recently at a Tampa-area Dunkin' Donuts.
Deputies say the first time he showed the clerk a badge and a holstered gun, telling him, "See, I am a cop!"
When he returned the next day, the manager wrote down his license plate number.
On Tuesday, deputies set up surveillance at the store and arrested Barry when he returned. They said they found a badge and a .38-caliber revolver in his pocket. He was arrested and later released.
Barry does not have a listed phone number and it couldn't be determined if he has an attorney.

Not to be confused with curly (frisee) or flat leaved endive salad (Cichorium endivia), Belgian Endive or Witloof (Cichorium intybus) is a torpedo shaped accident that happened in Belgium in 1830. The head gardener of the Botanical Gardens in Brussels forgot about the roots left covered in soil in the cellar. He discovered that chicory produced lovely, pale, tight cone shaped heads. It took another few decades before the growing method was perfected but once introduced to the general public, it became as firmly established in Belgian cuisine as 'frites and mussels' or Belgian chocolates. The root of witloof, once dried and ground was used as a coffee replacement during war times, and is often mixed with coffee for a robust flavour, enhancing the 'roasted' taste.
A few facts
With only 1 calorie per leaf, witloof ('white leaf' in Flemish) has a delicious, tangy, unique flavour and is served in most of central Europe as a hot dish, but also used occasionally in a salad. Northern Americans use it almost exclusively raw for dipping, filling or chopped in salads. It is usually served with pureed potatoes, or 'French fries' in Belgium, but boiled will also do.
Very low in sodium, it is a good source of Vit. B6, Vit. C., potassium, thiamin folate, calcium, magnesium, chosphorus and copper.
Its slightly bitter taste is due to intybin, a substance that is a mild appetite stimulant and which is helpful to the digestion and the liver. Witloof is also diuretic and slightly laxative when consumed in large amounts. It is also an excellent source of fibre.
Look for tight heads with yellow to yellow-green tipped leaves. Green tipped leaves indicate heads that have been exposed too long to the light and are more bitter than the immaculate, paler heads. If using raw, taste a leaf if it is bitter. If so, place in a colander and pour over boiling water.
To prepare for cooking: using a small paring knife, carve out a small cone from the base into the core about 1-2 cm. into the core. This is the most bitter part that will become milder with cooking. Trim off about 1 cm. from the tip. Remove outer leaves and rinse if necessary. Sprinkle with lemon juice to preserve the immaculate pale colour.
Do not cook in iron pans.
Stored in cool (6° C), dry conditions and protected form light, they will keep for several weeks.
baked - Usually baked witloof starts off braised until almost done before it finishes off baked in a sauce.
braised - The starting point for many Belgian dishes, lightly brown in butter on all sides, season with a little salt and white pepper, add a little water, light broth or white wine, cover and cook until tender, adding a little more liquid as needed.. Add a pinch of sugar. If you do not use wine, add a few drops of lemon juice. Whole heads (2 small or one large per person) cook in 15-20 minutes, halves 12 and slices between 3-5 minutes. The delicious, caramel coloured, faintly sweet cooking liquid is served spooned over the heads. Use tongs to turn and serve.
salads - Uncooked and sliced as you like it, it has a natural affinity for the blue cheeses, pears, apples, walnuts. Mixes well with other lettuces, except the bitter types. Just a simple vinaigrette or blue cheese sauce compliments its flavour.
sautéed - Whole, halved, quartered chopped, however you prefer it, do use unsalted butter over oils
side dish - Especially good with poultry, all meats. Use a béchamel (white) sauce or cheese.
stuffed - Oh yes! Wonderful...but sauté them first and when cool, slice them lengthways, carefully remove the center core and a few inner leaves if necessary before filling with whatever your fancy. Try chopped ham, moistened in egg bread crumbs a little grated cheese and baked until bubbly. Or fill with piped, savoury mashed potatoes seasoned with nutmeg. Moisten with a little cream and dot with butter or cheese such as blue or a sharp cheddar. Bake until the potato begins to turn lightly brown.
main dish - To large heads, a béchamel sauce, potatoes and a medium dry white wine to accompany is all you will need. Serve a salad as a first course and mixed fruit or an apple or pear dessert.

Code P1211. Bone stock.
Hello Im new to this forum, and i have been researching a problem that i am having. I have not had much luck finding the correct solution. Long story short i was pulling a trailer in new Mexico and my check engine light came on and it was p1211. I continued to drive to California and dropped my trailer. While traveling the light would come and go. I lost a little bit of power in the top end and the truck is also hesitant/hard to start. Even with no load. I continued my trip and went from California to las Vegas. Their i replaced my IPR sensor and had my oil changed. Same code and same symptoms. So i drove on back to indiana and have been trying to trouble shoot this thing here at home. I have done the injector o rings and valve covers and injector wires since returning home. I have also switched the icp sensor out with my other truck and no difference. I used 15w40 rotella 4 my oil change. Im now up 4 anymore ideas. Oh and Im bone stock. Never had a tuner. No tuner or anything. Any ideas anyone? P1211 is my only code. Thank you. Oh and its a 1999 Ford F350 4x4 with the 7.3

Faulty HPOP?
Im not really sure yet. I replaced IPR, injector o rings, uvch and gaskets, changed the fuel pump and cleaned the tank etc. No change. I guess the next thing ill change is the hpop. On my snapon solus i get a IPR reading at 65% sometimes and the light comes and goes still. Im still kinda lost lol i drove it to Mississippi and am on my way home. I still have a loss in power. Mpg isn't horrible tho? Any advice anyone?
I am interested too. Same thing. Under load SES/MIL/check engine light comes on then goes off. No load nothing.
try looking under the post i just put up... having the same issue maybe we can compare notes...
Here's a good Overview for 1211 problems;
P1211, P1212 Ford Powerstroke Diesel
Ford Diesels use oil pressure to drive the high pressure fuel injection system. The engine oil pump not only pumps oil to lubricate engine components, but also pumps oil into a reservoir to be used by the high pressure oil pump.
The high pressure oil pump pulls oil from the reservoir and raises the pressure to the point where it can pop open the injectors. The high pressure pump also increases the pressure of the diesel fuel so it can inject into the cylinders and vaporize quickly.
The oil pressure generated by the high pressure oil pump is regulated by an electric solenoid that is pulsed by the PCM. As this Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) solenoid is powered and de-powered, a small shaft moves back and forth, allowing spurts of oil to flow into the high pressure oil lines The IPR can regulate pressures in excess of 3,000psi. The high pressure oil moves from the pump to the cylinder head through braided steel lines.
The PCM fires the diesel fuel injectors by energizing a solenoid coil in the injector. Unlike gas fuel injectors where the solenoid lifts a pintle off a seat to allow pressurized fuel to flow into the cylinder, the solenoid in Ford diesel fuel injectors allows high pressure oil to flow. Think of this like a doctors syringe. The pressurized oil pushes on the plunger of the syringe to inject the fuel through the injector and into the cylinder. Since the minimum psi required to open the injectors is 400psi, the PCM monitors the actual pressure of the oil going to the injector with an Injection Control Pressure (ICP) sensor. Using data from the ICP sensor, the PCM can adjust the pulse rate to the IPR.
Since the IPR operates off of a pulsed voltage, the amount of ON time versus OFF time is referred to as duty cycle. The high pressure pump can easily achieve pressures in excess of 3,000psi. But its up to the IPR to regulate the amount of pressure going to the injectors. The IPR can regulate a 3,000 psi reading with no more than a 12% duty cycle. Yet, the PCM is capable of providing up to a 60% duty cycle to the IPR. However, once it reaches 50%, the PCM sets a trouble code P1211 or P1212 for ICP above/below normal.
If you receive this code, your first step is to check the oil level in the crankcase. Since the entire high pressure system depends on having enough oil in the reservoir, a drop in oil level of 3 or more quarts can bring the system to a quick stop. Unlike a gasoline engine where the oil pressure sending unit is located in the engine block in an oil gallery, the oil pressure sending unit on a Ford Diesel is located in the top of the high pressure oil reservoir. In other words, Ford wants to make sure the high pressure oil reservoir is getting good oil pressure. If the oil idiot light does not go out the high pressure oil reservoir isnt getting enough pressure. The high pressure pump cannot produce high pressure if its not getting enough oil from the engine oil pump. If the oil level checks out and the oil pressure light goes out, move on to the rest of the checks.
The PCM monitors RPM during cranking. As soon as RPMs reach 150, the PCM activates the IPR to begin regulating oil pressure. At the same time, the PCM starts monitoring the ICP sensor to double check oil pressure buildup. As mentioned earlier, the PCM can command up to a 60% duty cycle for the IPR. But if the PCM is providing maximum duty cycle and the ICP reports either less than 400psi or 2,000-2,500psi, and the engine is not running, it concludes there is a problem (a reading of 2,000-2,500 is a programmed default reading the PCM provides on the scan tool when it believes theres a fault in the ICP). If you see 2,000-2,500psi on the ICP scan tool readout AND the engine isnt running, you should suspect a bad ICP sensor.
If the engine wont start, you can conclude theres a problem in the high pressure system. Either the high pressure pump isnt working, IPR is faulty, or theres a large leak somewhere in the system thats preventing pressure buildup. To eliminate a cylinder head leak from the troubleshooting process, remove the high pressure line from the right side head and cap it with a plug that can hold 3,000psi. Then remove the high pressure line from the left side cylinder head and attach a high pressure (3,000psi or more) gauge to the line. Then crank the engine and watch the pressure gauge. If you get a low reading, the problem is either a faulty high pressure pump or a bad IPR. First you must replace the IPR. If the problem still exists, replace the high pressure pump.
Loss of power, usually after a hard acceleration; Rough idle; Check engine light comes on, DTC P1211:
Intermittent high pressure oil leakage.
This condition usually occurs when the vehicle is cold and the oil is thick. When performing a hard acceleration, the truck suddenly looses power, the check engine light comes on, and once returning to idle the engine runs rough and won't accelerate. Cycling the key may correct the concern, clearing the code from the PCM will correct it temporarily. If you can monitor data stream, at idle the ICP pressure normally is 400-700 PSI and the IPR duty cycle is 9-14%; at cruise, ICP is 700-1200 pSI and IPR is 15-20%; under normal acceleration, ICP is 1200-2000 PSI and IPR is 20-30%; and under WOT accel, the ICP is up to 3600 PSI and the IPR is 35% or higher. When the above symptom occurs, typically the idle ICP reading will be normal, but the IPR duty cycle will be high--over 20% and up to the max 50%. A "blow-by" condition has occured somewhere in the HP oil circuit. If you can get the problem to re-occur with some frequency, the most probable cause is worn or deteriorated injector or IPR o-rings. If the problem is intermittent, it could be a sticking IPR valve. Replace the injector o-rings with the latest-level kits--F8TZ-9229-AA. When replacing the IPR, make sure you get the correct part for the build date/serial number of your engine.
From -> P1211, P1212 Ford Powerstroke Diesel : Rick's Free Auto Repair Advice
Just adding my results in this thread so it may help someone in the future. I got the same code on my new to me 01 7.3. I was driving home and the code came up. I got home, shut it off, went inside to grab a few things went outside and it was real hard to start. I got it started but then had no throttle response. It would idle forward and backward, but then would die out on its own. The next morning I changed the IPR valve and its running good as new now. The IPC sensor looks a little worse for wear too, so I will keep an eye on it and probably replace it in the not so distant future.
Jakeob88 & gunnyrappusmc
I have same problem, runs great when warming up, but after 20-30 min of hwy type continuos driving, it runs bad, barely runs, have p1211 code. I also have old edge programmer, new icp, hard starts when warm/hot, and ipr 65% & icp only like 1010 when problem happening. Clear code & maybe will run good for minute or so then bad again.
After reading Rick's write-up, it seems like bad o-rings, esp since also hard start when warm.
So Jakeob88 & gunnyrappusmc, what was the end fix?
Thanks much!

The Memorial Hermann Center
for Wound Healing
The Memorial Hermann Center for Hyperbaric Medicine
6411 Fannin Street
Houston, TX 77030
713- 704-5900
The mission of the Memorial Hermann Center for Wound Healing and the Hermann Center for Hyperbaric Medicine is to relieve patient suffering in a nurturing atmosphere, encourage hope, and provide comfort and dignity. Our combined mission is to foster a comprehensive program in the field of Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Management which will be a legacy to future health care workers, contribute to the field of medicine, and allow us to leave something behind of ourselves in the form of a visible and productive program.
Our mission is to design and carry out research projects that will increase our knowledge in the field of hyperbaric medicine and wound healing. Research allows personal growth through the learning process and enhances our effectiveness by attendance at scientific meetings. We have chosen to do this particular type of demanding and rewarding work because we enjoy the challenge. We desire personal growth and satisfaction, and wish to provide the best possible patient care. We endeavor to provide a congenial working atmosphere as we strive together for these common goals.
Written by the Physicians
and Staff of the Memorial Hermann Center for Wound Healing and the
|The Wound Center provides state of the art care for difficult to heal wounds of every description including diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, non healing surgical wounds, wounds due to sickle cell anemia or vasculitis, and many other challenging problems. Click here for 'before and after' photos of wounds that have healed.
|The Memorial Hermann Center for Wound Healing was the first Wound Center in Houston. The center began in 1990 under the direction of Dr. Caroline Fife, in close association with Dr. Adelaide Hebert, Professor of Dermatology.
We treat patients with diabetic foot ulcers, peripheral vascular disease, vasculitis, venous stasis ulcers, sickle cell anemia ulcers, non healing surgical wounds, scleroderma, pressure sores, and all other wound healing problems.
We utilize the latest in technology, evaluating patients as appropriate with transcutaneous oximetry in the clinic to assess skin oxygen levels. Wound healing modalities such as Becalpermin (Regranex), semi-synthetic human skin (Apligraf, Dermagraft), negative pressure wound dressings (the V.A.C. by K.C.I. - click here to see photos), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, fluidotherapy, anodyne, and other modalities are available. We also utilize the latest in wound dressings to maintain a moist wound environment conducive to healing, such as hydrocolloids, silver containing products, cadexomer iodine, and others. Patients are assessed by our experienced physicians at the initial visit, and a comprehensive plan is created for each patient. Photo documentation is provided, and patients are followed closely in the clinic until healing occurs.
Sometimes multiple modalities are necessary in order for a patient to heal. It may be necessary to use hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the VAC together (click here to see photos), or the VAC followed by semisynthetic human skin (click here to see photos).
Diabetic Foot Clinic:
Our diabetic foot clinic, in association with the University of Texas Health Science Center department of Orthopedic Surgery, Foot and Ankle specialists, and podiatric foot care experts, offers total contact casting and other off-loading options, and surgical management as needed. We follow a limb salvage protocol which reduces the likelihood of amputation in diabetics with lower extremity ulceration. Click here to see before and after photos.
An aggressive limb salvage program, in conjunction with the University of Texas Division of Cardiology, offers early vascular intervention to patients with vascular compromise. Patients are evaluated with transcutaneous oximetry, and if appropriate, referred directly for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). MRA does not require contrast dye which is toxic to the kidneys, does not require a needle stick of the arteries, and therefore does not have any risk of bleeding or similar complications. The angiograms obtained in this way can be evaluated to determine whether patients are candidates for revascularization either via angioplasty, or via surgery. We are then able to confirm that the procedure was successful by repeating transcutaneous oximetry (see our article by Hanna). If oxygen values are still low, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be useful. See the attached article for a fuller explanation of this protocol.
We frequently participate in trials sponsored by pharmaceutical or wound care companies. We have participated in the research behind products such as Regranex, Apligraf and the V.A.C. Ask if we have any on-going trials. These often have benefits to participants such as fee medical care, or the chance to receive new technology.
|Information Management:
The Memorial Hermann Wound Center was the first in the country to pioneer electronic medical documentation in the wound care, lymphedema, and hyperbaric medicine discipline, going "live" with a computerized system in 1997. The original Wound Care software package is now available through Intellicure.

text: smatt 5pts esanchez...You're point is well taken. I agree that, on paper, this engine sounds one step short of what the car needs. Or maybe it's OK as a base motor. But something more like the Mazda3's hearty 2.3, combined with a good sport suspension package and some beefy rolling stock would give the Astra a fighting chance in the enthusiast portion of this segment. As I said originally, I'll reserve comment until I drive them, but I know GM has many versions of the Ecotec 4 that serve more power than the 1.8-liter they've announced so far, and I hope the Astra gets them.I agree with you: the Mazda3 is the target. Thanks for your comments,MS

The Waltz Dream
1925. Germany. Ludwig Berger. 80 min.
Monday, April 14, 2014, 4:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
The Waltz Dream
1925. Germany. Directed by Ludwig Berger. With Willy Fritsch, Mady Christians, Xenia Desni. A major hit upon its release, Berger's The Waltz Dream is a forerunner to the popular Viennese operetta films of the 1930s. Austrian actress Mady Christians stars alongside German matinee idol Willy Fritsch in this adaptation of the Oscar Straus operetta about a Prince who, after falling for a Viennese girl, becomes obsessed with the city and its customs. Fritsch later starred in the last two silent films of Viennese-born director Fritz Lang—Spione (Spies, 1928) and Frau im Mond (Woman in the Moon, 1929)—and then became a mainstay of operetta films, forming an enduring on-screen partnership with the English actress Lillian Harvey. Together Christians and Berger formed the short-lived company "Länder-Film" before fleeing Germany in the early 1930s. Christians settled in the United States, where she continued to act—including a part in Max Ophuls's Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948)—while Berger directed films in Hollywood, France, the Netherlands, and Great Britain for Austro-Hungarian émigré Alexander Korda's London Films before returning to Germany after the end of World War II. In German; English subtitles. 80 min.

Actually, it's a very cool channel. My wife won't watch videos online and this is a great way for her to check out the new Wii games that we are interested in.
Congrats guys! I love VC:R and this site as well. Clean, great info, good community, etc.
Keep up the great work!
Downloaded this game and am so glad I did. I'm at Day 39 right now. Holy cow it's addicting. Just one more day....
Got 2 Thieves, 1 White Mage, and 5 Warriors. Trying to level up my lower level warriors since I just got the Guild Hall.
Best Wii points I've spent period. This game is terrific.
Yarr! Pirates! Yum!
oops..typo in the subject line. Installment has 2 L's
Yay! I'll join. Although for the most part FB groups are useless But fun nonetheless. It's like some exclusive membership...
Now this looks interesting...
Any way to see the leaderboards from a non-wii (ie firefox)?
This is good to know. I've been holding off on getting anything but this might be a good fit for my wife and I...
Excellent work Dazza! Looking forward to the new site dedicated to WiiWare titles. You guys are still my favorite source for VC info and I'm looking forward to using WWW for my other info!
From what I've seen of the game and video it looks like a < 500 point game to me. True the devs don't get much, but look, it's not much of a game. Even at 500 points say they sell 100K copies. That's 50 MILLION dollars worth of games. Even if big N gets 50% of the payout, that's still 25 million in their pocket.
100K realistic? I think so, especially with the 10+ million consoles sold in the USA alone. That's 1% of Wii owners.
Man, this is sad....
I want Catan! Carcassonne! Undertow!
But no, we get..Eating.
Ah the glorious C64. I spent many hours when I was a freshman in HS playing on the C64. Loved the system. Loved the games. This would be a great VC fit.
I tried the Tower of Goo on EG site and thought it was pretty original. Course I couldn't get my tower higher than 6 meters or so..hehe Hopefully this will be on WiiWare.
Dazza - great work on the WiiWare interviews. There is a lack of good updates on the 'net and I'm glad to see you guys covering this stuff in detail!
Can't wait to read your review/interview on Twist N Paint! That game looks good!
Is WiiConnect 24 that hard to program for? Course I'm not a developer but it seems that a lot of folk drop that out. I imagine network coding on the basic level is pretty easy. Guess the server management, 'achievments', leaderboards, matching, etc is a lot harder. Hmm, wonder if companies could license things like that to speed up dev time?
500 points though looks pretty good. Go indie devs!
Looks like a sweet game. Now to scrounge up some points somewhere...
@ Jogurt - forget Risk! (although that would rock). I'd be happy to see Catan or Carcassonne on WiiWare. (or even one of the other awesome board games out there...)
I'm with Jogurt's comment. I have a SNES, N64, GameGear, GBA, GC, PS2 and now a Wii. I can only have so many hooked up to my TV at once or the wife will blow a gasket.
So I have the Wii and PS2 hooked up. I love being able to sit and play VC games on the Wii without worrying about another console, cartridges, etc.
So for me it's a great deal, especially for consoles I've never owned.
"Do we tell them they need to check our shorts?"
Ugh. I love this game but am so frustrated. Can't get past level 2. Go figure. lol. I just stink.
Hey yeehaw, I tried using a PS2 keyboard with a USB adapter. Didn't work. I got a quick keyboard flash light then nothing.
Wii update came out this morning in the US. Now supports USB Keyboards and updated the Everybody Votes and Internet Channel. Other than that I'm not sure what else was changed/updated. No demo channel though
Ugh. This looks horrible. I am looking forward to Super Spike Volleyball though! Use to play that in college all the time. Love that game.
Hmm, I just bought Super Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door for my Wii/GC the other day. Might have to scrounge up some points to get this soon...hehe..
