This is terrific muesli/granola! I used regular brown sugar and stirred every 20 minutes and it worked out fine. I didn't add the bran, and for nuts I used almonds. I love this mixed into yogurt so I didn't add any dried fruit; I'll add it at serving time when I use this as a cereal. I took the suggestion of other reviewers and added some cinnamon about halfway through the cooking time. Love this - thanks for sharing the recipe!
Let's see, where to begin? First of all I would recommend reading through all of the reviews first. That helped me tremendously. I used a 3-quart slow cooker which was greased first then heated up with the cover on. The recipe was cut in half and I threw in a variety of grains all in flake form: barley, rye, triticale and of course oats. A variety of dried fruit was added: cranberries, raisins, pomegranates, red raspberries, cherries, black currants. Nuts/seeds: almonds, sesame seeds, pepitas, sunflower (forgot to add the Oregon-grown hazelnuts!) Spices: cinnamon, ground ginger, pinch freshly grated nutmeg. (Demerara sugar, too. ) Added all this along with the other ingredients in the list to the crock pot and cooked on HIGH 1 hour. Stirred. Added one more tablespoon of oil. Cooked another hour on HIGH. Stirred. Reduced to LOW and cooked another 45 minutes-1 hour. Perfect. Somewhat crunchy-almost more like granola. Absolutely delicious with a splash of fresh cream from the local dairy farm. Will make again! Reviewed for Australian/NZ Swap #50.
Though this isn't officially out of the crock pot yet, I have done enough sampling to be able to rate it. I must first tell you that I left out the wheat germ so that my husband could enjoy this too, and subbed whole golden flax seed in it's place. Oh, and this is VERY IMPORTANT: I did not preheat my crock pot ahead of time, because many of the newer units have an automatic kill switch that will terminate your crock pot forever as a safety device should you forget and leave it on with little to nothing left in the unit (I know this from experience). When I added the oil to the oats, I also stirred in 2 Tbs. real maple syrup and a pinch more vanilla then the recipe called for. I also added the coconut, and sunflower seeds. Then once the first hour was up, I stirred in some chopped dried apricot, chopped dried apple, dried tart cherries, dried cranberries, cashew pieces, and some roasted cinnamon. Now my house smells heavenly! I will definitely make this often. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe Kathy. Now comes the hard part....I have to share the muesli. Made and reviewed for the 50th AUS/NZ Recipe Swap.
I absolutely love this recipe especially since my 2 college kids ask me to make it by the gallons for them. I modified it to make it gluten free for my daughter. I use the oats, 1 cup each oat bran, coconut, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup flax seeds, 1/2 cup raw sugar, 1/3 cup olive oil and 2 tsp vanilla. Based on other reviews I add 2 full tsp cinnamon after 1 hour and I oil the crockpot before adding the mix. Stirring every 20 minutes or so keeps it from getting too brown in spots. This is fabulous on yogurt. I have found it really easy to order the grains from a farm in Maine, they show up at my door fresh and ready to go.
I will be making this often!! Very easy and very delicious! I used an assortment of nuts and chopped dried fruits - pretty much followed the recipe as stated (did not preheat) except that I added the dried fruit partway through the cooking because I wanted it crunchier and not as chewy. SO good over yogurt! Thanks for sharing!
Perfect!! I may never go back to making muesli/granola in the oven. This is much easier and turns out better. I didn't preheat my slow cooker, nor did I pregrease it. I cooked on high setting for 2 hours, stirring once, then left it another 1/2 hour on the keep warm feature. I also added 2 or 3 tbsp of maple syrup. Thanks for posting!
What an excellent way to make muesli, I love it! And it toasts up beautifully. I did find though that I needed to watch the last hour as if you didn't stir, it would have burnt. So glad I found this as my favourite muesli is extremely expensive. At the moment I am enjoying my muesli each morning with a Byron Bay Ginger juice poured over it instead of yoghurt.
My granola recipe has 8 tbsp of oil for roughly these proportions so I was keen to try a low fat version. I found after two hours the oats had not really changed color in my slow cooker. Not sure if my slow cooker is a problem but I don't think so because it works well for all other recipes and it was quite hot. I ended up adding an extra 4 tbsp of oil and putting it in the oven for around 20 min at 300 stirring frequently. I like the proportions and combination's but my family found it not to be sweet enough. The slow cooker method definitely did not work for me anyway.
This was very good muesli--it reminded me of a gourmet version of the muesli we used to buy in Australia. I couldn't find bran here, so I added extra oats. I added pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chopped almonds. I also sprinkled in some cinnamon half way through (after reading other reviews). Delicious!!
This is a great granola recipe of the fact that you're not heating up your oven for an hour. I cooked mine on low in the crockpot for over two hours and then on high for one hour. I omitted the coconut and sugar to up the health factor. I added chopped pecans and almonds and tossed in about 1/2 cup raisins. Also used the olive oil like you suggested and 2 T. of maple syrup to up the sweet factor a bit. This is a very versatile recipe and I"m glad I tagged for AU RecipeSwap - January~

The food truck revolution seems to be sweeping throughout Perth, with more and more emerging and frequenting popular spots such as the City of Perth Twilight Markets and the Cultural Centre. This progression is exciting for diners and foodies, with cuisines and specialties arising which they might not normally easily access.
It also offers a convenient and cheap alternative to what is affectionately, or rather scornfully, known as 'Perth Prices'.
There's Coxinhas which are fried balls of mashed potato with shredded chicken throughout. I'll definitely be getting this next time because it sounds amazing. There's also Choripan, which are Chorizo hotdogs and Prato Feito ($12), which is what I decided on for my lunch that day after a big internal debate in my head. That chorizo was calling my name longingly!
For those on the run, a word of warning - this order takes about 10 or so minutes to cook up. But if you're not in a hurry, then by all means indulge in this delightful brazilian steak.
There's a great combination of textures and sweet vs savoury flavours. The use of kale works really well here, the fresh green complimenting the other ingredients.
The best part of all are the yam chips, which are starchy, crisp and so moorish. I only wish there was more than just a couple of them! (But that's the greedy fried-things loving side of me.)
I'm sure I'll be visiting this truck again soon, particularly spurred by the desire to try those fried potato balls. Yum!

Man charged after hosting underage party
BIVALVE -- A 49-year-old Bivalve man is facing criminal charges after the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office says he hosted a party for more than 300 people, many of whom were allegedly underage.
At about 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 11, the Sheriff's Office was called to the 21000 block of Nanticoke Road where they allegedly found minors from Salisbury, Delmar, Del.; Fruitland; Snow Hill; Harrington; Milton and Lewes. Deputies reportedly found large quantities of beer and liquor and estimated that most of the crowd were in the 16- to 20- year-old range.
The homeowner John F. Jones, was charged with contributing to the conduct of a minor, disorderly house and furnishing alcohol to a minor. The deputies were not able to accurately count the number of minors because many of the attendees ran away when the police arrived.
He was released on personal recognizance, following an initial appearance in front of the District Court Commissioner.
Man charged with intent to distribute drugs
FRUITLAND -- After a traffic stop in Fruitland at about 6:56 p.m. Aug. 11, a 33-year-old Salisbury man is charged with controlled dangerous substance possession with intent to distribute: narcotics and related charges.
Chaundell Dominic Mills was stopped near the corner of South Division Street and East Main Street by the Fruitland Police Department for speeding, according to charging documents.
After other members of the department and a K-9 partner responded, a probable cause search was done and a portion of a burnt hand-rolled cigarette, suspected marijuana and two digital scales covered in suspected crack cocaine residue were found in the vehicle.
Mills was searched and CDS-related items were not found on him, but after he was put into one patrol vehicle and transferred to another, a bag of suspected crack cocaine was found tucked into the back seat of the first patrol vehicle, according to charging documents.

|Longitudinal split tears of the ulnotriquetral ligament.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20951899 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Unlike tears of the peripheral triangular fibrocartilage or avulsions of the distal radioulnar ligaments, longitudinal split tears of the ulnotriquetral (UT) ligament do not cause any instability to the distal radioulnar joint or the ulnocarpal articulation. It is mainly a pain syndrome that can be incapacitating. However, because the UT ligament arises from the palmar radioulnar ligament of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), it is by definition, an injury of the TFCC. The purpose of this article is to describe the cause of chronic ulnar wrist pain arising from a longitudinal split tear of the UT ligament.

Yankees offered Omar Infante three years, but he wants four
MORE: FA tracker: position players | FA tracker: pitchers | Winter Meetings updates
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Once Robinson Cano signed with the Mariners last Friday, Omar Infante became the best second baseman left in free agency, so a few teams seeking an upgrade at the spot have now turned their focus to him.
Obviously the first name that comes to mind is the Yankees, with Cano's absence leaving a void. The Yankees have offered Infante a three-year, $24 million deal, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.
Infante, however, is seeking four years and $40 million, per Heyman, and a few other teams are still in on the bidding process, including the Royals. There's a decent gap between the Yankees offer and the asking price, too, so there's room to "win" Infante.
Infante, 31, hit .318/.345/.450 with 24 doubles, 10 home runs and 51 RBI for the Tigers last season. He has played all three outfield spots, third base and shortstop at different points in his career, but in the past few seasons he has settled in as an everyday second baseman.
The Royals make sense for Infante, too, as they got the following offensive line from second basemen last season: .243/.296/.304.

Wootton Wawen /ˈwʊtən ˈwoʊ.ən/ is a village and civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England. The village is on the A3400, about 20 miles (32 km) from Birmingham, about 2 miles (3 km) south of Henley-in-Arden and about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) north of Stratford-upon-Avon. The soil is a strong clay and some arable crops are grown, but the land is mainly in pasture. The common fields were inclosed in 1776, but some inclosures had already been made about 1623.[1]
The scenery is wooded and undulating, rising from about 200 feet (61 m), in the south to 488 feet (149 m), in the north-west at College Farm, above Forde Hall. Near here is Mockley Wood, which, with May's Wood in the centre of the parish and Austy Wood near Edstone, is one of the larger blocks of woodland.[2] The older part of the village straddling the A3400 is designated as a Conservation Area because of its open, rural character and many historic buildings.
The toponym "Wootton Wawen" means "farm near a wood, belonging to Wagen". Wagen or Waga is an Old Norse name.[3]
The oldest surviving record of Wootton is from when Æthelbald, King of the Mercians, gave to the Earl Aethilric 20 hides of land for a minster between the years 723 and 737. The first wooden church was built at Wootton as a direct result of this charter of land, (about 2,000 acres (810 hectares)) on which to build a monastery or minster of Saint Mary. The first church may have been burnt and pillaged by Viking invaders, but between about 970 and 1040, Wagen, an Anglo-Danish landowner, established the present church. This land was in the district of the Stoppingas near the river Aeluuinnae, now called the Alne.[2]
The Domesday Book records, "in Pathlow Hundred in Wotton (Wawen) 7 hides. Land for 9 ploughs. 23 villagers with a priest and 22 smallholders who have 6 ploughs. 2 mills at 11s and 8 sticks of eels; woodland 2 leagues long and one league wide. Value £4. Waga held it freely."[4] Waga was one of the witnesses to Earl Leofric's foundation of the monastery at Coventry in the first year of the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042–43). His lands extended beyond those at Wootton Wawen, but, after the Norman conquest of England, Wootton was bestowed by the Conqueror on Robert de Stafford, descended from the de Tonei family and who had fought stoutly with Duke William against King Harold. He made Stafford Castle his principal seat and took his surname thence.[5]
Charles II passed through Wootton on his travels while escaping from England after the Battle of Worcester. Here, the king, disguised as the man-servant of the daughter of one of his supporters, Jane Lane, met with a party of Parliamentarian troopers:
before we came to Stradford upon Avon we espied upon the way a Troop of Horse whose riders were alighted, and the Horses eateing some grass by the wayside, staying there (as I thought) while their Muster-Maister was provideing their Quarters; Mrs Lanes Sisters Husband (who went along as far as Stradford) seeing this Troop of Horse just in our way, sayd that for his part he would not goe by them, for he had once or twice been beaten by some of the Parliament Soldiers, and he would not run the venture again. I heareing him say soe begged Mrs Lane softly in her Eare that we might not turne back but goe on, for that Enemy would certainly send after us to enquire who we were if they should see us turne. But all she could say in the world would not doe, but her Brother in law turned quite round and went to Stradford another way the troop of Horse being there just getting on Horse-back about twice 12 score off, and I told her we did meete the Troop just but in the Towne of Stradford.[6]
Wootton Wawen has always been primarily a farming settlement, but over the centuries industrial activity has included milling; two mills are mentioned in the Domesday Book. Early in the 19th century there was a mill used for papermaking, as it probably was a century earlier – a reference to William Martin, "paperman" of Wootton, occurring in 1717 [1] – but there has also been a fulling-mill for the production of hemp and flax on Wootton Green, and a dyehouse at nearby Blue Hole. There was also a hurdle-making industry in the village for a time. Today the area is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby cities for employment.
Wootton Wawen is part of the Henley ward of Stratford on Avon District Council and represented by Councillors Jem Jones and Stephen Thirlwell, Conservative Party [1]. Nationally it is part of Stratford-on-Avon constituency, whose Member of Parliament since the 2010 election is Nadhim Zahawi of the Conservative Party. It is included in the West Midlands electoral region of the European Parliament, following the 2014 elections the seven members are; Philip Bradbourn OBE, (who died in December 2014) and Anthea McIntyre (Conservative), Neena Gill and Sion Simon (Labour) and Jim Carver, Bill Etheridge and Jill Seymour (UK Independence).
Parish church[edit]
The Church of England parish church of Saint Peter is notable for having the most pronounced Anglo-Saxon work in the county. It is the oldest church in Warwickshire, although much of the present fabric is later. It comprises a chancel with a south chapel, nave, South aisle and on the North the tower embattled and pinnacled. There are also North and South porches the east jamb of the south porch has several votive crosses scored into it.[7] The base of the tower and the first two stages are Saxon with four doorways, the top of the tower is 15th century as are the clerestory, the nave battlements, the north doorway and porch, the middle arch of the arcade, the west window with busts of a king and queen and the east window with a leaf frieze. The tower is the earliest part of the church, preserved in the middle despite restricting views of the chancel from the nave[8] here, is the current site of the altar. The font is an octagonal bowl resting on eight sculptured heads similar to others in the county at Snitterfield and Lapworth.[7] The old oak pulpit and choir screen is 15th century.[7]
The church has a small chained library of 17th-century theological works and some notable monumental brasses particularly the altar tomb of John Harewell and his wife Anna (1505).[7]
The tower has a ring of six bells.[9] The second bell was cast in 1591 by a member of the Watts family of bellfounders of Leicester. The tenor bell was cast in 1719 by Richard Sanders[10] of Bromsgrove.[11] The fourth bell was cast in 1784[10] by Charles and John Rudhall of Gloucester and the third bell was cast in 1803 by John Rudhall[10] of Gloucester.[11]
The treble bell was cast in 1742 by Henry Bagley[10] of Chacombe[11] and the fifth was cast in 1761 by Thomas Rudhall[10] of Gloucester.[11] For a long time the treble was cracked and bolted with iron and then from 1911 the fifth was bound with an iron band around the inscription.[9] The latter repair was by Thomas Bond of Burford, Oxfordshire who at the same time re-hung all six bells.[9] Then in 1955 the two damaged bells were recast by John Taylor & Co[10] of Loughborough, who at the same time tuned the other bells and re-hung all six again.[9]
All canons have been removed and replaced with bolted iron joists for ringing.[citation needed] The 16th-century oak frame with pits for three bells still exists: the posts have moulded corbelling at the tops and are strengthened by curved struts.[citation needed] It has been altered to take four bells, the treble and second being hung to the north of it.[2]
The vicar at the time of the Puritan Survei of the Ministrie in Warwickshire of 1586 was described as mascall (John Mascall 1580–1642)
vicar a precher thogh he be growen Idle negligent & slouthfull. a man defamed & of tainted life he hath two charges beside Wooton videlicet, Henley & Ownall (Ullenhall) he supplieth by his hirelinges : whereof one vpon a rumor of change of religion in mounsiers daies did shave his beard.(Indicative of a reversion to Catholicism) Value xl yearlie.[12]
St Peter's font
St Peter's Chained Library
In the Black Death, bodies from Coventry were transported to the churchyard for burial in an area which has become known as the "Coventry Piece". This ground still cannot be disturbed.[citation needed]
Not long after the Norman Conquest, Robert de Stafford gave the church of Wootton with a hide of land nearby and another hide at "Doversele" to the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter de Castellion of Conches in Normandy which had been established in 1035[2] by his father, Roger de Tonei [2]. They established a small alien priory here: a prior and one monk constituted its community and the church was re-dedicated to St Peter ad Vincula. In 1398 Richard II gave the priory to the Carthusians at Coventry, but the grant was reversed soon after by Henry IV and the monks re-established. It was bestowed with all its possessions on 12 December 1443 upon the Provost and Scholars of King's College, Cambridge, and on 30 November 1447 the Abbey of Conches released all title to the Priory to the college, in whose hands the manor still remains. No trace of the priory buildings remains but they stood between the churchyard and the ancient fishpond that is near the Henley Road.[2]
At the start of the reign of Edward I, Peter de Altaribus was prior. He became involved in a brawl which brought about the intervention of the bishop. The circumstances are related with considerable detail in the episcopal registers of Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester. An inquisition was held at Warwick on the Tuesday after Palm Sunday, 1281, to hear the dispute between Peter de Altaribus, and brother Roger his monk. William the vicar of Wootton, had been summoned to the priory to stop the brawl, and on arrival he met the prior coming out of the hall door whilst inside he found brother Roger sitting in a chair with his nose bleeding. The prior accused Roger of wounding himself in his nose with his own finger; whereas Roger claimed the prior had hit him on the nose, which was corroborated by others who added that Roger did not return the blow. The argument was over Peter's withdrawal of distributions to the poor, lack of hospitality, wasting the priory's goods, and drunkenness. Both were found guilty and excommunicated which after appeal they were absolved and recalled to the monastery of Conches, to receive punishment from their abbot. It is exceptional to find an alien priory subject to diocesan visitation, but this small priory was also visited by Bishop Giffard in 1269, 1284, and 1290.[13]
Historic secular buildings[edit]
Between the mill and the church is Wootton Hall, a large stone building in the Palladian style, mainly built in 1687 but incorporating parts of an earlier, probably Elizabethan, house. It was originally the home of the Carington family. Outbuildings behind the house are possibly the remains of the earlier manor-house.[2] At the end of the Second World War the Hall was in a dilapidated condition and threatened with demolition but was bought in 1958 by Bill Allen, of Allen's Caravans,[3] who developed the grounds into a mobile home park. This development rescued and restored the Hall and revitalized the community.[14]
Other notable buildings include the Bull's Head Inn, situated at the south end of the street, being an L-shaped low building of timber-framing, probably of the 16th century. Inside are wide fireplaces, one with a lintel inscribed M 1697 TH, and open-timbered ceilings, however there is a stone giving the date of the building as 1317. Three of the buildings north of it on the same side, and The Cottage, facing the south end of the village street, have remains of 17th-century timber framing. In a short lane south of the church is the old Workhouse, now a dwelling-house; it is a small timber framed building covered with rough-cast cement and has a gabled north end with a jettied upper storey.
The Manor Farm, at the north end of the village, is built of early-18th-century brick, but the chimneystack of diagonal shafts looks earlier. The west front, slightly recessed between gabled cross-wings, has a doorway with a semi-domical hood carved with palm leaves and a basket of fruit and flowers.[2]
The A3400 provides transport links to the neighbouring settlements, notable Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon and also connects to the M40 motorway northwards at Hockley Heath affording direct motorway access to London. Regular bus services on this road provide transport to Birmingham and Stratford-upon Avon.
The Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon Canal crosses the parish, leaving it near Silesbourne Farm, close to which there was a hermitage, mentioned in 1428 and 1470.[1] It is carried over the main road Stratford to Birmingham road by a cast-iron aqueduct bearing the date 1813.[2] There are moorings and a canal boat marina in Wootton Wawen Basin. The canal was built by William James of Henley-in-Arden, who was a pioneer of the railway system. A cast-iron plaque on the aqueduct records details of the building of the canal.
The Monarch's Way, a long distance footpath which approximates to the escape route taken by Charles II in 1651 after his defeat in the Battle of Worcester, passes through Wootton Wawen.[15]
Wootton Wawen railway station was opened in 1908 on a branch of the Great Western Railway. The route is now the Birmingham to Stratford Line.
The village was referenced in the Yes Minister episode The Right to Know. In that episode, Humphrey Appleby revealed that Hayward's Spinney, supposedly the site of a threatened badger colony, was actually just a rubbish dump used by the people of Wootton Wawen,[16] which differs from the published version where Sir Humphrey says it is used by the people of Birmingham.[17]
Notable residents[edit]
In the Second World War the Russian composer Nikolai Medtner and his wife lived in a secluded house outside Wootton Wawen, where he completed his Piano Concerto No. 3. Author Bill Watkins spent much of his youth in Wootton Wawen, his book, A Celtic Childhood records his boyish adventures in and around the village during the 1950s.[18]

From 1991-1996, I had the unique opportunity to work with one of the most talented still photographers of the 20th Century. When I met Herb Ritts, it was as a gaffer. Joseph Yacoe was one of my clients and a mentor. He got the call to do a Levi Loose Jeans ad in Morocco directed by Herb Ritts. I was asked to organize the lighting for the intense shooting schedule in eight different cities. During this campaign, Herb and I really hit it off. This friendship quickly turned into helping him light all of his still work.
Not only was Herb a great artist, he was also an amazing human being. I learned so much from him in terms of how he talked to the talent and how his demeanor quickly put them at ease. He was so good at relating to others.
When I came on board as Herb's regular lighting director on still shoots, I quickly understood what made him different. Herb was into hot lights. This terminology is big in the still world. It means lights that do not flash and create heat. Herb hated strobes. He loved looking through the viewfinder and seeing the light. He was able to orient a model's face perfectly by being able to see the light, instead of taking a shot, then looking at it. He wanted to stay liquid. "Herb Liquid" was what we called it in the moment.
Traveling all over the world with Herb was absolutely incredible. Some of my best jobs to date have been with him. He inspired me to light, to look at a woman's face and see which is the best side to light. I was blown away with how he would position his light, his HARD LIGHT. It became my mission to know where and when to position the light and from which side was best. Soon Herb did not have to say anything. We became so in sync as artists that he would show up, look at what I had set up and head back to make-up and hair.
One of the last times that Herb and I worked together was in Sweden. We were sent about 150 miles inside the Arctic Circle to shoot an Absolute Vodka campaign with Vogue and Versace. Our two models were Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. We had all become good friends over the years and were shooting at the famous Ice Hotel. It was an insane job in every way – the art, the sets, the conditions and the beauty.
Here are four shots from this amazing shoot in 1996. We only had four hours of twilight and no daylight. The sun never rose above the horizon. For the first shot, we had the luck of a snow storm that whipped up right at the perfect moment.
I encourage all of you to attend Herb's expose, which is at the Getty in LA until September 2nd. This is the last week. The exhibition also offers a screening room featuring Herb's videos and commercial work as a director, as well as a documentary that I was privileged to be part of (embedded below). Herb changed the way I looked at light; he shaped me as a cinematographer, as an artist. I will always miss him.

Be well
What a way to learn. I was lucky enough to assist for one of the great architectural photographers here in New Mexico. Was trying at times. I kept asking questions and learned.
Back to the doc:
It seems that we are so seduced by color. What was that comment? It is not how you shape light but how you shape shadow. The black and white imagery so rich in depths of shadow and light. Plus his smile seemed truly exuberant, he was in his passion. May we all be so lucky.
Thank you for sharing.
Be well
Wow! Great Post as always Shane. It is nice to get a personal glimpse into the experiences and people who helped shape your career, as you do the same for so many of us. Thank you for not only sharing your tips for techniques and workflow, but also for shedding light on what is most important in life, living it to the fullest by getting to know others around us while allowing them to get to know us.
Did this become instinctive for Herb, or did he like to play with the models before you lit?
I am referencing the Madonna images for chin and drop-shadow.
Be well
Thanks for this post Shane!
I went to the Getty this weekend and really enjoyed the exhibition. His art was inspiring but what really struck me about the documentary film is about how everyone described him as a person. Great share! #beagoodpersonfirst
Awesome Post Shane thank you

Aim The role of long-distance dispersal in the Indomalesian, Australasian and Pacific flora is currently hotly debated. The lack of well-resolved phylogenetic trees for Pacific plants has been a major limitation for biogeographical analysis. Here, we present a well-resolved phylogenetic tree for the tribe Aglaieae in the mahogany family, Meliaceae, and use it to investigate the origin, evolution and dispersal history of biotas in this area. The subfamily Melioideae, including the tribe Aglaieae (Meliaceae, Sapindales), is a plant group with good representation in the region in terms of biomass and species numbers, wide ecological attributes and known animal vectors. The family has a good fossil record (especially from North America and Europe). Genera and species in the tribe Aglaieae therefore provide an excellent model group for addressing this debate.
Location Indomalesia, Australasia, Pacific islands.
Methods Results from nuclear internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA analyses of 82 taxa, based on sequence alignment guided by secondary structure models, were combined with evidence from fossils and distribution data. We used strict and relaxed molecular clock approaches to estimate divergence times within Aglaieae. Putative ancestral areas were investigated through area-based and event-based biogeographical approaches. Information on dispersal routes and their direction was inferred from the investigation of dispersal asymmetries between areas.
Results Our study indicates that the crown group of Aglaieae dates back at least to the Late Eocene, with major divergence events occurring during the Oligocene and Miocene. It also suggests that dispersal routes existed during Miocene–Pliocene times from the area including Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo to Wallacea, India and Indochina, and from the area including New Guinea, New Ireland and New Britain further east to the Pacific islands at the peripheries of the distribution range. The origin of the Fijian species dates back to the Pliocene.
Main conclusions Dispersal over oceanic water barriers has occurred during geological time and seems to have been a major driving force for divergence events in Aglaieae, with some old Gondwanan land masses (e.g. Australia) colonized only during recent times. Movement from the ancestral area was predominantly towards the east. Extant Fijian species of Aglaia are monophyletic and share morphological features rarely found in species of other areas, suggesting speciation within an endemic clade. Divergence of living taxa from their closest living relatives took place during both the Miocene and the Pliocene, and peaked in the Pliocene. The present-day distribution of many species in the tribe must therefore have arisen as a result of dispersal rather than vicariance events. Furthermore, colonization from Indomalesia to Australasia and the Pacific has frequently been followed by speciation.

Monday's scouting report: Pirates at Giants
Pirates/MLB Videos
Pirates beat reporter Travis Sawchik's inside look at Monday's game:
• After posting a 1.74 ERA in June, Vance Worley has been less Vanimal-like in July, with a 4.50 ERA. Worley needs a strong start; the rehabbing Gerrit Cole is starting Monday in Triple-A, meaning Cole could easily slide into Worley's rotation spot. Worley will benefit from the left-handed Brandon Belt being out with a concussion. Worley has walked one batter in 20 1⁄3 road innings this season.
• The Pirates will miss Starling Marte (concussion) against the lefty Madison Bumgarner, who has held the Pirates to a collective .661 on-base percentage. Bumgarner will be the fourth straight lefty to face the Pirates. The Pirates have struggled in recent games against left-handed pitching in part because of Marte's absence but also because of the struggles of Pedro Alvarez, Gaby Sanchez and Gregory Polanco against lefties.
The Buzz
The Pirates continue to monitor Red Sox lefty reliever Andrew Miller, according to ESPN. The Tribune-Review earlier reported the Pirates' interest in Miller. Red Sox closer Koji Uehara is thought to be off limits.

I have been using a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless/wired 4 port switch router
model since 2001 with no problems. There are other BFW models that are
all wired 4 and 8 port models too.
Most routers on the market have an Uplink port where you can connect a
hub or switch and daisy chain hubs or switches together where the router
is the gateway device for the LAN and WAN and controls 255 computers
connected in that manner. The router's have a built in switch and from a
home environment stand point, I don't know about some gigabit situation
that's needed in that environment. You can also just plug the hub or
switch into one of the router LAN ports as well to extend the network.

You know nothing about security making that statement as a Windows NT
based O/S such as Win NT 4.0, 2K, XP, or 2K3 can be secured if one knows
what he or she is doing to secure the O/S. I have no problems with
security of any Windows NT based O/S machine on my network. However,
there is some learning one must face in the area and the link is a push.
so if someone could also explain port
> forwarding and other router related queries to me in plain English it
> would be much appreciated.
Also, a router manufacturer's Website Knowledge Base will explain things
to you on how(s) on any of its router models.
In addition, Google (your friend) has plenty of router configuration
articles on the how to(s) on many manufacture brands and models. All you
have to do is search it out.
I suggest that you get a UPS and plug the router into it as the router
doesn't like bad power from spikes from household appliances on the line,
sudden lost of power or blackouts and brownouts. If it happens too often,
the router will go defective if not protected. The router likes constant
and clean power.
A recent email from WatchGuard that I got the other day about NAT
Duane :)
Busting the NAT Myth
By Sig Fidyke, Senior Product Manager, and Scott Pinzon, LiveSecurity
Lead Editor, WatchGuard Technologies, Inc.
Have you ever settled down to dinner, only to be interrupted by
unsolicited telemarketing phone calls? It makes you glad that at work,
your business has a main number other than your desk phone. If necessary,
you can tell the company receptionist, "Unless my boss or my spouse
calls, don't forward any calls to me." Then if telemarketers call the
main number, looking for you, the receptionist terminates their call
without bothering you. In fact, if you wanted, you could keep your desk
phone number completely private so that no one knew it except fellow
employees and close family members.
However, if you achieved that ideal, would you then say, "My private
phone number makes me safe in all regards. Now we can fire the company's
security guards and leave the doors unlocked"? Foolish, right? Yet for
some reason, many people follow that very logic when concluding that a
NAT device is a firewall. This article debunks the myth that a NAT device
is "good enough" security, and explains why you're better off using a
real firewall to protect your network.
NAT Attacks
Network Address Translation, or NAT, works roughly like the receptionist
in our opening illustration. It hides your private, or unregistered,
network addresses from the public. When packets leave your network,
heading for the wild Internet, a NAT device replaces all private IP
source addresses with one public address (usually its own). Since the NAT
box advertises its own address to the world as the source address, all
replies from the wild Internet return to the NAT device, analogous to the
way phone calls to everyone at your company might first come to a main
phone number. And just as the receptionist answering the main number can
redirect incoming phone calls to the desired individual, NAT checks an
internal table to redirect replies to the appropriate computer inside the
network. If an attacker initiates a connection to your network through
some oddball port, like 31337, the NAT box would check its table and
think, "Gee, no one inside this network requested information on port
31337. Now I don't know who to send this packet to." Typically, it then
drops the packet. So, in this sense, NAT-only devices do provide a
modicum of security. (The rest of this article assumes you understand
basic NAT, so if the concept is new to you, before continuing you might
want to read "Using Network Address Translation" and "How and When to Use
Since NAT is designed to do the best it can to allow traffic in, any
security benefits it provides are mere side-effects. Hackers have
developed attacks specifically for NAT devices, such as the following.
Exploiting open ports. For port-based NAT, once a NAT device opens a port
by putting it in the NAT table, all traffic destined to that port is
allowed through to the local computer identified in the table. NAT
substitutes unusual ports for well-known ports, but usually derives its
substitute port numbers from a standard range. Hackers can persistently
keep guessing at which ports NAT has opened until they get through. Since
they use automated programs to do this, the hacker doesn't have to be
overly persistent or lucky -- he just tries a lot of addresses until
something breaks.
Taking the DMZ server. Some NAT devices can be configured so that packets
not matching anything in the NAT table are sent to a specified computer,
rather than discarded. This gives the administrator a chance to ensure
that good traffic is not lost, and to allow a program to work that won't
work through NAT. But it's horrible from a security perspective. It means
the NAT device sends everything through. Once a hacker gets control of
the one computer where everything goes, he can easily access any other
computer on the same network.
Spoof attacks. NAT devices are especially susceptible to spoofing. Anyone
with sufficient technical knowledge, using hacking tools freely available
on the Internet, can put another user's IP address in the "From" (source)
field of packets. Since NAT relies on analyzing addresses, false
addresses compromise NAT devices easily.
Default remote access. Many NAT devices leave a port open to the public
Internet, to allow remote administration. The port is protected by a
password. Hackers circulate lists of open ports and the default passwords
set by the manufacturer of each NAT device. If you haven't changed the
default password protecting your NAT device, knowledgeable attackers can
log themselves in and reconfigure your device. Then they have
administrative privileges, and you don't.
NAT devices were not designed to be true security devices, so they have a
weak security stance. For example, a hacker can send an "anybody there?"
message, called a ping, to millions of addresses. Firewalls recognize
ping and hide themselves. NAT devices respond, letting the hacker know
he's found a live connection. NAT devices don't do any egress filtering,
either. So clearly, a NAT device is not a full security solution.
Firewall Advantages
Don't get us wrong. We like NAT. We think NAT is both cool and necessary.
Our point is that a real firewall offers additional, significant security
improvements on top of NAT. Here are a few.
Authenticating connections. A NAT device checks only the source IP
address, destination IP address, and related port numbers to decide if
traffic is valid. A real firewall goes further. In addition to IP address
and port information, the firewall also checks, for example, the sequence
number of the packet for duplicates or out-of-bound values (hackers try
to recycle an existing packet header with different data inside). Other
firewall verification steps include user authentication, packet content
inspection (e.g., does this HTTP packet really contain HTTP
information?), and checking the IPs against black-listed sites.
Controlling outbound traffic. Any defense offered by a NAT device deals
only with inbound connections. Firewalls offer egress filtering -- the
ability to close outgoing connections. Many Trojans are programmed to
infect a machine, then "phone home" to their creator, using an obscure
outbound port; egress filtering can stop this. Similarly, when worms
infect a machine and seek to spread, egress filtering can prevent your
network from becoming the worm's next launching pad.
Securely handling special cases. True firewalls are aware of, and
support, numerous applications that require special handling. Some NAT
and low-cost "firewall-like" routers basically have to be shut off to
allow, say, NetMeeting or audio/video streaming to function. Real
firewalls handle them securely and without special user requirements. The
firewall first identifies the packets as coming from a special
application. It then rewrites and re-routes the packets compatibly with
both the application and NAT.
Robust processing power. Inexpensive NAT devices typically don't include
the powerful processors required for "deep packet inspection." Even
"firewall-like" routers will typically degrade significantly in
performance if called upon to inspect each packet. Only devices designed
to be a true firewall contain the muscle needed to combine security and
The list of firewall advantages goes on, including detailed logging that
recognizes and records attacks; centralized management; and, in more
expensive firewalls, advanced networking features (such as VLAN support
and Quality of Service), the ability to set different policies for
multiple networks, time-based policies, and more.
We hope you now understand the difference between a good-as-far-as-it-
goes NAT box and the multi-faceted, layered security a firewall can
offer. Though NAT can provide the equivalent of an "unlisted number" for
clients on your network, that falls short of complete security. If you're
serious about protecting your remote users and your network, deploy real
firewalls -- preferably firewalls certified by a neutral third party,
such as ICSA labs. The recent Sasser worm spread wildly even though it
was helpless against firewalls -- which demonstrates afresh that your
network security is only as good as your remote user security. ##
