Make sure that port 1723 TCP is open to the external adapter on the VPN
server or port forwarded to it if using a NAT device. It is possible the
problem is the firewall/internet router or host firewall in front of the VPN
client. Usually they have an option to enable GRE or it is called pptp pass
through so make sure that is enabled and check the logs on the firewalls for
any helpful information such as dropped traffic at the time on the
connection attempt. Also check the logs via Event Viewer on your VPN server
that may have events that may help resolve the problem. The user of course
needs too be allowed to dial in their user account and your Remote Access

Definition of ceratopsian in English:
A gregarious quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur of a group found in the Cretaceous period, including triceratops.
- Infraorder Ceratopsia, order Ornithischia.
Example sentences
- Within dinosaur families that had relatively similar body types, such as the hadrosaurs (duck-billed dinosaurs) or ceratopsians (such as Triceratops), there is an incredible range of diversity.
- An alternate view, that ceratopsians and pachycephalosaurs diverged from ornithopod dinosaurs in the Late Jurassic, is more consistent with the preserved biostratigraphic evidence.
- The ornithischians ('bird-hipped' dinosaurs) are herbivores, and include the plated Stegosaurus, the armored Ankylosaurus, horned ceratopsians, and duck-billed hadrosaurids.
Early 20th century: from modern Latin Ceratopsia (plural) (from Greek keras, kerat- 'horn' + ops 'face') + -an.

Designer Portfolio: Giò Ponti
Ponti's work is unmistakably modern, with spare, light forms and playful, bold colors. But at the same time, his work is heavily inflected by the past — specifically the Italian Neo-Classical tradition extending back at least as far as the Renaissance, if not all the way back to Ancient Rome.
Although all his work toyed with history and tradition, his output was hardly one-note. Ponti's work could be organic or geometrical, spare or luxurious, functional or purely decorative. Above all, his work always strove to be beautiful, during a century when the definition of that word was often up for grabs. Here is a small sampling of his many designs in various media.
Sources: Last year, Rizzoli published a beautiful monograph on Ponti written by Ugo La Pietra. There is also the Taschen Basic Architecture Series book by Graziella Roccella.
From September 16-30, there will be an exhibition of some of Ponti's works at the Soho store Molteni&C Dada Unifor.

Which developer is at the top of your list?
Warrior, rogue, or mage? If you didn't get that, then this discussion is obviously not for you.
Role-playing games are enjoyable to a majority of gamers simply because of how much power and control a developer gives to its players. You can decide how your character looks and acts in addition to their abilities. You can shape their past, present, and future. They can be a heinous villain, a virtuous hero, or possibly somewhere in between.
It's the allure of wielding the power of choice and ownership of a main character that makes this genre so appealing to gamers. There are some developers that choose to focus on crafting a vast and dynamic world over character development and vice versa. There are others who have been lucky in finding a perfect balance between these two elements.
I would personally pick BioWare because of their compelling narrative, lore, and characters. I would heavily prefer that than to have an open-world game if asked to choose. They might be too restrictive, but Dragon Age: Inquisition looks like they are committed to opening their levels a bit more and making it more responsive to what players do. Quantic Dream came close but I don't think they belong to this genre.

The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Legislature is coming back for the last day of the special session to try to pass a key transportation measure.
Both the Senate and House need a two-thirds support on Tuesday for a constitutional amendment that would divert money away from the state's Rainy Day Fund. The measure would free up at least $840 million a year for Texas roads. Experts say the state needs $4 billion in additional spending to maintain the current network.
Lawmakers have been trying to hammer out a deal for weeks on what Gov. Rick Perry has named a top priority. But conservatives are angry it will not set a minimum balance for the Rainy Day Fund.
Perry has promised to call a third special session if the measure does not pass.

Baseball Defeats UC Santa Barbara 6-3
Feb. 2, 2003
Santa Barbara - San Diego State took advantage of some timely hitting, good pitching and solid defense for the second straight day to defeat UC Santa Barbara, 6-3, Sunday afternoon at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. The win improved the Aztecs to 2-4 n the season while the Gauchos fell to 1-2.
SDSU got its third excellent starting pitching performance of the weekend as freshman Ronnie Lindsey went five innings, allowing a run on four hits while striking out four.
The Aztecs opened the scoring with three runs in the top of the third. With one out, Landon Burt reached on a fielding error by Gaucho shortstop Josh Fulton. Anthony Gwynn followed that with a bloop double to right center to put runners on second and third. Freshman shortstop James Guerrero then belted a triple to dead center field that scored both runners. Guerrero was driven home one batter later on Peter Stonard's sacrifice fly to left.
UCSB got a run back in the third when Josh McCanne's two-out double to left center scored Matt Wilkerson who had doubled earlier in the inning. McCanne had been robbed of an extra base hit two innings earlier when Aztec center fielder Anthony Gwynn made a spectacular diving catch of his blast to left center.
SDSU extended its lead to 4-1 in the seventh without the benefit of a hit. Leadoff hitter Chad Corona was hit by pitch, stole second, advanced to third on a passed ball, and scored on Anthony Gwynn's fielder's choice after pinch hitter Curt Mendoza walked.
However, the Gauchos countered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning off reliever Chris Hartshorn. Center fielder Matt Emerick led off with a solo home run to right field. Catcher Chad Ziemendorf was then hit by pitch, went to second on a ground out and took third on a balk. Two batters later, pinch hitter Matt Stevens hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Ziemendorf and pull the Gauchos to within a run at 4-3.
The Aztecs restored their two-run advantage in the eighth when Rielly Embrey singled home Peter Stonard with two outs. Stonard had walked to open the inning, then advanced on a grounder to first and a fly ball to right. SDSU added an insurance run in the ninth on an RBI single by Guerrero to score pinch runner David Hall from second.
Will Miller pitched the final inning for SDSU to pick up his first save of the year. Anthony Gwynn ended his day with a pair of hits including a double, RBI and run scored while James Guerrero had two hits including a triple and three RBI. First baseman Rielly Embrey also contributed a pair of hits and an RBI to the winning cause.
San Diego State will now have eight days off as it awaits its 2003 home opener against 25th-ranked South Alabama on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 3:00p.m. at Tony Gwynn Stadium.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Traditional, Holiday, Cute, Classic
What are you most proud of? The experiment worked very well! I made these for a Holiday Crafts Boutique and created two lovely holiday decorations with them. For each, I perched the project on a pile of fireplace logs and lightly hot glued them to hold them in place so that it looked as if they were drying by the fire. I wrapped festive holiday ribbon around the log pile and embellished it with silk poinsettias, holly and berries. The final touch was to put a little glue in spots on the logs and sprinkled them with gold glitter. The logs were so popular, I sold them right away!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? It's easiest to needle felt on flat pieces, so I suggest you knit the hat and mittens as flat pieces, needle felt the designs, then seam them with the invisible mattress stitch. Also remember to use wool yarn if you're going to knit something you plan to needle felt, or at least make sure the yarn content is primarily wool or other natural fiber.
Love, love, love!!!!!
Thank you, Rhonda. You are very kind. I hope you'll think about adding needle felted embellishments to your knitting. If you have any questions about it, let me know.
These are so cute. And I love the detail you have put into making these mittens. You are so talent.

Custom leather belts
Leather Is Appealable Over Here!!!
Leather is the most favorite product of the people living here because of the weather conditions and also the high class people just love to wear only branded leather items because they remain for a long time. I also bought my custom leather name belts and custom hand tooled leather belts from Leather4sure offer that inspired me so much that I could not abstain myself from purchasing it because the fine leather that they use in their blts I have not seen these before at any retail store from where I am buying by the years ago but this happened to be most exciting at Leather4sure. custom name leather belts are the best belts.
Pawls Joey
Customized Leather Belts
It was a time when I have to wear these local jackets, customized leather belts and items for my out wears because of the expensive stores that sold their items at high prices but Leather4sure came and solved the problems that people like me were facing. This store has all the items for the people of all the age groups but I like here the most is my personalized leather belts for men that is made of pure & quality leather. Buy custom engraved leather belts.

Ramona For My Girlfriend Is So...
Last day I went to Leather4sure and started searching for the men's clothing items but suddenly came into notice the custom made leather belts. I paid attention to it. I took a personalized leather belt in brown color for my girlfriend and she was so amazed to see this sudden present of belt without any special occasion. Next time I will order custom western leather belts.
Morison Tom
Penchant Of Leather Will Remain...
Leather and its related products I wore in my life influenced me a lot but with the passage of time I cannot restrict myself to only one design or style because I also want to augment my personality with the series of trendy products of leather. I bought my custom leather belts one day from this store when I was just wandering about the quality leather items. I have heard about custom leather belt and personalized leather belts many times and so decided to try this once and giving a one chance to Leather4sure will benefit me for the whole life.

First this should be in openssl-users...
The old oid_section stuff is now obsolete. The preferred method is via the
config module section which then works for all the openssl utility
applications and other config module savvy apps too.
for details and examples. However the OID is already part of OpenSSL so it
doesn't need to be added: it is called "OCSPSigning" though.

Late last month the Kulluk Shell oil rig was run aground on the pristine shores of Alaska's Kodiak Island while it was being towed to Seattle during a ferocious storm. Why would anyone even attempt towing something as dangerously precarious as an oil rig in the middle of a massive winter storm? The reason that the mobile offshore drilling unit was being moved out of Alaska at the end of December, in spite of hurricane force winds and treacherous 40 foot waves, was because Shell was trying to avoid paying a few million dollars in taxes

Jade's Journey Part 1UPDATED 9:44 AM EDT May 23, 2013
They had no way of knowing back in 1996 when they went to China that it would all turn out this well, this beautifully, note for note.Video Transcript
A LOT OF SMILES, HUGS AND MISTY EYES... AS SOME SPECIAL S-C-P-A STUDENTS GRADUATED... INCLUDING ONE MUSICAL PRODIGY WE'VE BEEN TRACKING... JUST ABOUT HER WHOLE LIFE. FROM AN ORPHANAGE IN RURAL CHINA SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO... TO A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA... IN THE HEART OF CINCINNATI LAST NIGHT. WE HAVE BEEN THERE THROUGH "THAT SPAN OF TIME" IN THE LIFE OF A GIRL NAMED JADE. WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON GIVES US A LOOK TONIGHT AT WHERE "JADE'S JOURNEY HOME" BEGAN. (scenes of China overlay music) They had no way of knowing back in 1996 when they went to China (reveal Jade playing cello) That it would all turn out this well, this beautifully, note for note... (cello music up full) Jade Kurlas, now seventeen. Sharing the strings of her story at her Hamilton home and on stages worldwide. The prelude to her remarkable journey had its beginnings 17 years ago and 8,000 miles away when the Kurlas', Dennis and Robin... ("Finally get to see here.") Traveled to China to adopt. WLWT News 5 documented the trip they made with eleven other families... Taking in Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall and an orphanage in Nanning called Mother's Love. This is where abandoned baby girls like Jade are cared for and where the Kurlas' held her for the first time. (interacting with Jade) The crescendo of a spur-of-the-moment decision made enroute to a Jack Kerouac symposium in Manhattan ... ("When we were getting ready to get off the plane, there was a New York Times and it was opened up and it said Chinese Adoption. So, we just looked at each other and said, hey, let's do that and that was it.") (voice of Dennis Kurlas) ("...and here we are right now.") (sister plays piano) "We" includes kid sister Ma-Le-in, who was adopted at Jade's insistence upon return to her native China... At age seven when she performed at the orphanage she had only heard stories about. (Jade Kurlas) ("I remember sitting on the floor and all the little kids were surrounding me and I just played and it echoed throughout the entire room and it was really cool.") Hard to measure the degree of coolness you reach with an impromptu cello solo at the Great Wall. Fitting that her Chinese name, Lim-bow, means "special treasure". Her life would have likely played out in a much different and more limited way... Had Dennis and Robin not embarked on what they now refer to as "Jade's Journey". Their bond with the other families unbroken to this day. (Robin Kurlas) ("We always said that in the beginning when they were young, the get-togethers were for the parents. And then it became for the girls.") (voice of Robin Kurlas) ("The girls are very close. They'll always be close. They'll be in each other's weddings.") (more cello performance from Jade) She selected "Jasmine Flower", a Chinese folk song, for the soundtrack of her story. Tradition tells us the piece celebrates the sharing of beauty. Something the Kurlas' must've felt years ago as the musical scale of their lives changed forever. FOR THEM, SOME OF THE SWEETEST NOTES WERE LAST NIGHT... AT JADE'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION... TONIGHT AT 11... WHERE HER MUSICAL JOURNEY TAKES HER FROM HERE.

WISCASSET, Maine – Custom bike lovers can get everything they need at the new Twisted Iron Customs shop, which offers repair, custom-painting, building whole bikes, roadside assistance and consignment.
The business opened July 22. Owner Michael Benner is planning a grand opening from 11 a.m.to 5 p.m. Sept. 1, featuring rock band No Guts No Glory.
The shop has seven employees, including mechanics Greg Williams and Darron Pierce. Pierce ran his own shop nearby before joining Twisted Iron; he told the Wiscasset Newspaper that Twisted Iron Customs has had more business since it opened than his shop would have seen in an entire season.
Benner credits his highway location for some of the business.

Lady Barons' road trip washed out
The Brewton-Parker College softball team had great practice weather last week, but Faulkner University could not provide the same conditions for the teams' doubleheader scheduled for Friday in Montgomery, Ala.
A make-up date for the Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference twin bill has not been set.
The Lady Barons (15-3 overall, 3-1 GACC) returned to action Tuesday with a home conference doubleheader against Georgia Southwestern State University in their first action since March 7.
They then participate in North Georgia College and State University's tournament Thursday through Saturday in Dahlonega.
Brewton-Parker then travels to Jacksonville, Fla., on March 25 to play Edward Waters College in two games and will next play at home March 28 with a GACC twin bill against North Georgia.

The gray early morning gave way to sunshine Monday as the region's residents gathered at Memorial Day observances ranging from solemn graveside services to parades with cheering crowds.
Boy and girl scouts, fire trucks, politicians, twirlers, bands and more earned the cheers of the crowds, but it was the soldiers — some striding tall, and others riding in cars, but proud just the same —who brought people to their feet.
It was a day for gratitude, and a day for grief, as the names of our war dead were read from town to town, as heads bowed.

Philadelphia Flyers Postgame Notes
NY Islanders 3, Flyers 2 (SO) at Wells Fargo Center
Thursday, February 5, 2015
* Chris VandeVelde recorded his fifth goal in the last seven games. He has seven goals in 15 games since January 2.
* Nick Schultz scored for the second time in three games. He previously had gone 125 games without a goal.
* The Flyers had 18 shots on goal and 32 that did not reach the net – 20 that were blocked and 12 that missed.
* For the third time in the last four games, the Flyers committed just one minor penalty. Tonight they also had one major.
* The Flyers wrapped up their five-game homestand with nine of a possible 10 points. They now embark on a four-game road trip that begins Feb. 8 at Washington and runs through Feb. 15. Their next home game is Feb. 17 vs. Columbus.
PHILADELPHIA -- Cal Clutterbuck scored in regulation and had the game-winning goal in the shootout to help the New York Islanders to a 3-2 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday.
Mikhail Grabovski also had a goal for the Islanders (33-17-1). Goalie Jaroslav Halak made 16 saves; he stopped six of seven shootout attempts.
The win ended New York's three-game losing streak.
Nick Schultz and Chris VandeVelde scored for the Flyers (22-22-8), and Vincent Lecavalier had two assists. Goaltender Steve Mason made 28 saves; he stopped five shootout attempts.
The loss ended Philadelphia's four-game winning streak.
The Islanders trailed 2-0 midway through the second period, but tied the game with two goals in the final 3:12 of the second.
Grabovski got the Islanders on the board with his eighth goal. The Flyers got loose with the puck in their end and the Islanders took advantage. Flyers defenseman Luke Schenn got the puck in front of the goal and tried to backhand the puck into the corner, but Grabovski intercepted it and beat Mason at 16:48 of the period.
With 1:13 remaining in the second, Mason got his blocker on Brock Nelson's shot off the rush from the left side, but the puck went right to Clutterbuck, who scored his fifth goal and first in 19 games to tie the game 2-2.
The Flyers took a 2-0 lead on VandeVelde's goal at 11:38 of the second period. Lecavalier won a battle along the boards and sent the puck to VandeVelde, who started a 2-on-1 rush with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare. VandeVelde held the puck on the right side and beat Halak to the short side, past his glove.
It was VandeVelde's eighth goal and sixth in 10 games.
Philadelphia had six shots in the first period but scored the only goal of the opening 20 minutes.
Josh Bailey and Travis Hamonic collided at the New York blue line and Lecavalier jumped on the loose puck. Lecavalier got low in the zone and tried putting a shot on net, but his attempt hit Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk and went off the side of the net. Lecavalier retrieved the loose puck behind the net and found Schultz pinching in. His one-timer from the slot went past Halak for his second goal.
Schultz has two goals in three games after going 125 games between goals before scoring Jan. 29 against the Winnipeg Jets.

Dana White made the claim that because of your loss to Weidman there is no chance of a super fight between you and either Georges St-Pierre, if he comes back, or Jon Jones. Do you think that's true?
I have 10 more fights. Maybe we can still have a super fight and that's a good question…for Dana. [Laughs.]
For a long time, I have waited for the opportunity to fight Mr. Roy Jones. This is my personal goal and dream.
Earlier, you said you wouldn't fight Jon Jones. Are you still sticking to that?
I don't like the idea, but a fight is a fight.
There's also rumors about a fight with Roy Jones Jr. Are you still trying to make that happen?
Yeah. For a long time, I have waited for the opportunity to fight Mr. Roy Jones. This is my personal goal and dream. I need to talk to Dana about it because this is very important for my legacy.
Why do you say it's important for your legacy?
Because I remember for a long time, I would tell my father, "Dad, look, there's a Roy Jones fight tonight." I recall seeing his movements and people saying he was the best pound-for-pound boxer. I'm a big fan and I like the idea of fighting Roy Jones Jr.
And it would have to be a boxing match, right?
What is it that goes into your preparation process for a fight?
I start my training four months, maybe. The same techniques and team. I go here and there before heading back to Brazil for camp.
Looking back at your career, what was the one of the most memorable fights of your whole career? My first fight in Japan in Shooto 2 against Tetsuji Kato. It was my first belt.
What do you like to do in your down time?
I like to play soccer and paintball. I love paintball.
Do you play video games?
Yeah, I have the PlayStation 3. I just finished the last Tomb Raider.
Being a paintball fan, do you like first-person shooter games?
They're good, but not too much.

You can find no better vehicle than a used 2003 Toyota ECHO in Orange County. This rugged but small car was well known for its low-cost creation, and has challenged many of the fashionable small car makers in Southern California. If you are looking for a car which has a good mileage in gas, and move fast and is still reliable, then you should definitely check out a pre-owned 2003 Toyota ECHO. For many people this car has been a lifesaver, and there are not many cars that you can depend upon to not only look after your family, but also be fuel efficient. As gas prices soar, this is something which is coming to the mind of every car owner, and the Echo is established as a long-standing pioneer in this area. When you want a second-hand car that is worth the money, then you should start looking for dealers in the CA area offering the best price on this machine.
When Toyota launched the 2003 Toyota ECHO, the builders wanted to create a car that was both reliable and yet still exciting to the many young people who drive cars. They created a car which had an aerodynamic feel, including a sleek horizontal line which has become characteristic of the Toyota style. There are new LED lights and a new option of 15-inch wheels which allows you to give your car a little bit of extra height.
The 2-door sedan trim has a 1.5lt engine, with 108 horsepower, not very much compared to some larger cars, but enough to create 6000 RPM. The sedan does not come with any entertainment accessories except a simple radio, although many used Echo vehicles will have had CD or cassette players added. The colors for the 2-door trim include Impulse Red (red), Aqua Ice Opalescent (light blue), Polar White (white), Black Sand Pearl (black), Electric Green (Green), Indigo Ink Pearl (medium Blue), Phantom Gray Pearl (dark silver), Sand Castle Metallic (gold) and Silver Streak Mica (silver). All of these body colors have the shadow gray cloth interior except for the Gold, and only the Silver Streak, the Indigo Ink and the Aqua ice do not have the option of the Ivory Cloth.
The 4-door Sedan has the same color scheme, with the same engine and horsepower. It has a manual transmission as standard, although an automatic can be added it required. There are no power windows, seats or locks with either vehicle, as it is pared down to the most fuel efficient and economic it can be. The 2003 Toyota ECHO has been very popular with those on a budget for this reason, since there is little chance of wasting fuel on air conditioning or power windows. If you are looking for a used car to buy on a tight budget, then you may be able to get some great promotion deals for the preowned vehicle, or perhaps be able to find offers on this car in the California region close to where you live.
Finding a good and reliable 2003 Toyota ECHO in Orange County near to the CA area where you live can be a good idea, because it can help to save even more money. You need to be able to find the right certified dealer, who can help discuss the different elements of the trims with you, and get you to select the used 2003 Toyota ECHO which most matches up with your own needs and wants. In the modern driving era, many people have used the space inside the Echo to install CD players and other parts which are considered necessary to today's drivers. This can leave you with a car which has been put up for sale by owner or private seller, but that has special items added to it. This can cost you more than you expect. If you are living near to the seller in the Southern CA region, then you might be able to get a good deal out of it, but for those living in other parts of California, you may want to look at other alternatives before you buy.
By choosing where in Orange County, CA you want to look for the used 2003 Toyota ECHO, you can focus upon the certified dealers in the region who are able to give you a good deal, or make you offers for the purchase of their vehicle. When you are looking at an Orange County 2003 Toyota ECHO that is for sale, you can sometimes find good deals being offered because the car is no longer needed by the seller, or because they have moved to a larger car. In these cases, what is being sold is a reliable and hardworking car that is also good on fuel efficiency, whether you live in the city or in the country.
We will make our best efforts that posted prices are always accurate however, we are not responsible for any typographical or other errors that may appear on the site.

Not long after the freak October 2011 storm that coated electric lines with heavy snow and left close to 400,000 PPL customers without power, someone identifying him or herself as a PPL employee sent an anonymous note to state regulators.
PPL, the tipster alleged, improperly transferred a repair crew to fix a low-priority outage from an assignment on a high-priority outage.
The policy violation, according to Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission documents, meant about 1,300 customers in the higher priority area were left in the dark about four hours longer than necessary.
Public Utilities Commission documents don't reveal the location of either outage, or what prompted crews to be sent to the lower-priority outage.
But on Thursday, the commission announced it had reached a proposed settlement with PPL to close the investigation with a fine of $60,000 and a promise by PPL to add a provision to its storm restoration procedures instructing personnel not to deviate from the company's guidelines when assigning storm restoration crews.
PPL agreed to the settlement, but did not admit to any wrongdoing.
PPL serves about 1.4 million customers in 29 Pennsylvania counties. A spokesman for the utility did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The PUC is accepting comments on the settlement, and will vote on finalizing it at a future meeting.

This nightstand is tall but I am short but I really like this item. Their are some flaws because of the recycled wood but it looks great.
These Hamden night stands were received in record time. They are sturdy and look just like pictured on the website although the color was a bit darker than visualized. Disappointing that the king Hamden bed does not appear to be available any longer.
We purchased these nightstands to go with the Hamden Bed. They were larger than what I envisioned, but they fit in our space perfectly. They seem very sturdy. They came put together and packaged well.
I purchased two of the nightstands as opposed to spending $200 more on nightstands from Pottery Barn. I really wish I would have spent the extra money! The color in the picture is NOT the color of the nightstand. It is very dark brown. When set next to our bed it does not match, it is clearly a different color.
I purchased both styles of the Hamden dressers (2 tall and 1 wide) and 2 nightstands. I visited a dozen furniture stores and for the quality of this it would have been 20-30% more. Even with the extra shipping costs.
The solid reclaimed wood construction, rich color and beautiful designs of the Hamden collection are fantastic! I am in love with the bed, nightstand, dresser and tallboy... I can't wait for the dining :)

In a first for Rhode Island, Marissa Castelli has snagged an Olympic medal in figure skating. The Cranston native and her partner, Simon Shnapir, turned in solid performances in the pairs division, helping vault the United States to a bronze in skating�s first-ever team event. They did even better last Wednesday in the pairs free skate.
Although the couple repeated as national champions last month, they ranked only 13{+t}{+h} at the 2013 world championship. Both knew that making the medal podium in last week�s pairs event would be a stretch. Yet from the moment they first stepped onto the ice in the team competition, they only improved, twice executing beautiful programs in both the short and free skates, and notching better scores than they ever had. Although they ultimately placed ninth in pairs, it seemed that Ms. Castelli and Mr. Shnapir had been made for the Olympics.
Ms. Castelli graduated from Cranston West High School in 2008. Her mother, Lori Castelli, is an avid amateur skater who first put her child on the ice at age 3. She was athletic and fearless, �a little daredevil,� in her mother�s words.
Both traits are prerequisites for pairs skating, with its dangerous lifts and throws.
Now 23, Ms. Castelli has been skating with Mr. Shnapir, of Sudbury, Mass., for eight years. Though their official plans are unknown, it appears that much more skating lies ahead of them. For now, it�s hats off to both, and a special thanks to Ms. Castelli for making Rhode Island proud.

Can someone describe the Security Architect job
In some instances, I am finding Security Architect jobs with configuring

Toro y Moi on keeping things chill
ANDREW PENKALSKI | Updated 2/21/2013
Electronic act Toro y Moi is a hobby turned job for Chaz Bundick.
Chaz Bundick is Toro y Moi.
Photo by Andrew Paynter
It doesn't make a lot of sense that Chaz Bundick even gives interviews. As the sole conductor of buzz-born electronic act Toro y Moi, the South Carolina native has long articulated that his musical output teeters between that of a hobbyist or at least an incidental professional.
After the runaway success of 2011's "Underneath the Pine," Bundick could have holed his manic attic-funk up in the Carolinas. Instead, he lugged it all the way to Berkeley, Calif., where his longtime girlfriend is completing graduate school. Toro y Moi's third album, last month's "Anything in Return," wears the West Coast transition on its sleeve, with gushier love songs and a more balanced rhythmic palette.
"California definitely changed some things," said Bundick, who performs Wednesday at the Fine Line. "Moving was still hard, like any big change. The weird part is that after this tour I'll go back to California and not South Carolina."
In the wake of a potentially alienating experience, Bundick has become admittedly extroverted. It shows through on the streamlined tracks on "Anything in Return." After two LPs of hiccuping samples, the new material is marked by a newfound seamlessness. The double-time percussion of standout track "So Many Details" slinks around Bundick's melodies, which now sound more interested in keeping shoulders swaying rather than changing a time signature. The fact that his face graces the album's cover also suggests something a bit more traditional.
"I think I sort of wanted to pay homage to classic records where they still had faces on them," Bundick said. "It can come off as gaudy or arrogant to put your face on a record, and I knew I didn't want to do a photo of my face. I wanted a physical piece of artwork that I could hold onto."
There's a small clash of ideals at work here. Bundick the hobbyist has done a fashionable job at downplaying any long-term expectations for Toro y Moi. But the portrait art of "Anything in Return" toys with his persona in a more exposed way. The image suggests that even Bundick — a design student himself — must find his signature Coke-bottle frames somewhat iconic. So where does the line between solitary pursuit and notoriety begin to blur?
"It's why I look up to people like Thom Yorke and David Byrne and even the Flaming Lips. They're big successful artists, but they still keep a perspective on things," the 26-year-old Bundick said. "When it comes to making your hobby your job, you do have to watch your back and be smarter about things. What I try to do is never take it too seriously, because who knows how long I'll be in the spotlight or whatever?"
For now, it seems Toro y Moi's pastiche of danceable exploits can pay Bundick's bills for as long as he desires. He said that grad school may be in his future — a consequence-free attitude few artists can afford. And if Bundick ever does pull the plug on his pet project, he'll have to reconcile with the fact that a lot of other people are now listening.
When: 9 p.m. Wed. Where: Fine Line. Tickets: $15.

Skip to comments.Friendly advice to a pol/pal: Hang it up, Christy
Posted on 10/15/2006 6:10:09 AM PDT by Panerai
Christy, its time to quit the governors race.
Let me be blunt: You are a straw for Deval Patrick. Of course you deny it, but theres an old saying that the best straw is the one who doesnt even know hes a straw.
For anyone unfamiliar with the term, a straw is a candidate in a fight who drains off votes from the main challenger. Basically, a straw splits the anti-vote, so that even if a majority are against a particularly odious candidate, he still slides in. Christy is playing Ross Perot to Devals Clinton.
But this campaign is not a referendum on Christy Mihos. Its about Deval Patrick. There is only one question in this fight.
Are you for Free Em All Deval, or are you against him?
Look, Christy, we all like you. Youre a good guy. Ive had you on my show about a million times; weve been to each others houses; weve gone out to dinner together; one of my best friends is on your campaign payroll.
But the fact remains, your continuing presence in the race is only helping one person, and his name is not Joe Sixpack.
Youve admitted that you would vote for Deval if you werent running. Before the primary, on NECN, Jim Braude asked you flat-out who you would pull the lever for if you couldnt vote for yourself.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.bostonherald.com ...
Can you give party affiliations and a brief explanation for those of us lucky enough to to be from Mass.?
Kerry Healey (RINO), Republican Nominee.
Deval Patrick, Democrat Nominee.
Christy Mihos, Liberal Independent Candidate (though takes votes from the Liberal Republican).
I think Mihos knows what he's doing. Mass. has not had a Democrat as governor in 15 years. Mihos plans to change that.
Why does anybody invite Mihos to the debates? That is the problem.
Did anybody have him in the pool?
Patrick probably insists on it. And the four people invited to this year's debates is better than the five people, including crank candidate Barbara Johnson, who debated in 2002.
>>Christy, my callers are starting to blame me for your campaign, saying I created you.
So Howie may be the Larry King ("c'mon Ross, you should run...") of Mihos? (And we remember what we got when Perot ran in '92).
BTW I think the "speaking truth to power" slogan is right out of JOHN KERRY's playbook
>>Kerry Healey
her positions on gay marriage and abortion prob. give her the RINO label but I'd rather have her there to counterbalance
the Dems (or at least use a "bully pulpit" to go right to the people) than a Dem like Patrick. Better the devil you know
than the Deval you don't (or, actually we're starting to get to know Deval and we don't like what we see)
And as soon as we mention that Patrick does things like try to free a rapist (and several other criminals), the liberals
immediately play The Race Card: Oh! You're just saying this because he's black.
No way...if KMH were a black woman and DP a white man
I'd still go for KMH based on her positions. (Plus she..
lives down the street from me here in Beverly :) )
speaking of the race card: If Patrick were a Republican he'd prob have libs throwing Oreo cookies at him. Just ask
Michael Steele of MD:
>>Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.
(Wash. Times 11/05)
>>Barbara Johnson
Smoker-voiced ind. candidate who once said on WBZ "(Shannon)
O'Brien and (Mitt) Romney are nice people, but they both have their heads up their butts, excuse my French". Once, while on the old "VB's Pleasure Pit" show on WRKO, VB got her to say (at his urging) "Oh VB you're such a dillhole..."
She ran on a court reform platform among other things. Her website says, I kid you not, "BJ for Governor" at the top...
something that must have happened more than a few times
in Arkansas pre-1992... :)
You know in porn "DP" stand for something else, but that's what is going to happend to those who live in MA if Deval is elected.
thought I heard (John) Kerry use it a few times in '04 and maybe even more recently (i have to differentiate here
between Lurch and Kerry Healey...)
"speaking truth to power"
I think this is one of those nonsensical and meaningless phrases you hear from time to time. How many people actually USE this phrase when talking to somebody else ? What does it really even mean ? Of course, it's not nearly as silly as the phrase "special interests."
"And sometimes loving your country demands you must tell the truth to power. This is one of those times."
--John Kerry, 4/22/06
Mihos borrowing J F'n Kerry-used expression (though yes I guess it does go back awhile)
Thanks Howie for sying what needed to be said in public!
I've been emailing Christy's campaign on a regular basis saying pretty much the same things.
We made this guy's fortune by buying his sodas, smokes and lottery tickets and overpaying for bread and milk, and in return, he's going to stab us in the back by knowingly sticking us with a guy who will destroy what little is left in this State.
What does Christy care? He sold the stores and is sitting on a mountain of cash. He'll be headed South along with all the other former MA residents who can afford to get out before the apocalypse.
The name "Christy" used to invoke thoughts of a successful entrepreneur and a guy who fought against the corrupt insanity of our State government. By the time this is all over, it will invoke thoughts of a guy who sold us down the river to satisfy his own need for revenge.
The real problem here is that Romney left the entire state in the lurch by his cutting and running from a 2nd term. Leaving the state to a hapless Lieutenant to carry the banner (when she herself couldn't even win a State Rep seat in your bailiwick of Beverly) is reprehensible. As awful as Jane Swift was, at least she could win her own legislative district in Western Mass.
Of course, at least the latter phrase makes sense. Every mother tells their child to just give peas a chance. :-)
I agree--what Mitt prob. should have done was "train" her to take over, and then once she knew the ropes, resigned to
let her finish off his term. Then when the Big Dig disaster
happened, guess who's leading those press conferences explaining about the bolts, etc.? Mitt "His Hair Was
Perfect" Romney...and Kerry was just told to stand by
and look concerned.
Can Kerry Healey lead this state? I don't know if she's
hapless--she can be capable if properly trained for the job--
but what the heck is Deval Patrick? The "outsider" (no
govt. experience) who is really the ultimate insider
(here comes Billy Bulger! or at least he was seen
conferring with him...)
And yes, KMH couldn't beat Mike Cahill here in Beverly...
but I think she's grown in the job of Lt Gov. Have heard
her interviewed.
...in other words, even if Mitt hasn't really "trained" her to take over, she still sounds a lot more capable than Patrick
would be!
I have a question for you... since you're a MA resident. I'm sure you realize the state GOP there is practically moribund and horrifically statist. When is there going to be a full-fledged, full-frontal assault on reinvigorating the grass roots ? While the state is undeniably 'Rat, it isn't nearly as much as its representation makes it out to be. The GOP ought to hold anywhere from 1/3rd to 40% of the legislature and at the federal level, and it has been stuck at zero on the latter for 10 straight years and barely above 12% or so at the legislative level (and worse, yet, the legislators that ARE there are as leftist, if not more so, than some of their 'Rat counterparts).
for awhile it looked promising when Weld won in '90 and there were as many as 3 Rep. Congressmen (Torkildsen, Blute, etc.;
or was there 2? I forget...)...Joe Malone in as Treasurer,
and there were more State Senators and Reps from the GOP.
There was talk of developing a farm team of promising young talent but it hasn't happened...Mitt worked, from what I've heard, to get some people to run for Rep./Senate seats on both local and national levels but nobody won....
And yes to get elected you do have to be more "moderate"..here.
Dems have a stranglehold on this state. With Patrick
in office the only benefit might be that it'll get so bad that there will be another "Revolution", or maybe not...
Surely Carr understands that Mihos' campaign is fully supported by the Democrats?
One way or the other, the rats will take care of Mihos (wink, nod) if Patrick wins.
Mihos ain't getting out.
No, it was 2 Congressmembers (it would've been 3 had the ultraliberal RINO Silvio Conte in the 1st not died in '91). There were 16 out of 40 Senators and 38 out of 160 Reps. As you well know, thanks to William Weld, the King of the RINO Governors, he completely eviscerated all of the gains by the time he left office, leaving even fewer members that were there under Dukakis. I do know Mitt tried just once, but gave up (and you can't "give up" on party building as a Governor, or you're simply a failure -- one reason I'll never vote for him for President).
The problem for the GOP there is precisely their ideological approach, and it has been a consistent loser. When you have a choice between liberal 'Rats and liberal Republicans, why do you need a Republican party ?
The sad thing is, while the state legislature is something like 88%D/12%R, the people themselves are more like 60%D/40%R.
The debates are a joke. They trot out the 4th place candidate, a carpetmuncher from the "Green Rainbow" party who is right at home wearing a tinfoil hat, to make Patrick look like less of a moonbat. Then Christy is there to attack Healey, and Patrick keeps his mouth shut and walks away looking like a polished turd.
Yup, that's what I wrote in post #23.
The ratio for GOPers to Dems in MA have been ludicrously out of whack for several decades. Of course, going way, way back to 1867, the 'Rats held exactly 10 seats out of 240 in the House (this was before they cut the numbers by 1/3rd in 1978 to 160). It took from before the Civil War until 1949 for the 'Rats to finally win a majority, losing it again in 1953, and winning it back again in 1955 (and have never lost it since). From 1953 to 1963, the numbers for the GOP dropped from over 50% to less than 40%, and from 1963 to 1973, dropped to barely above 20%. From 1979 to 1991, we held a paltry 18-24%. Today we stand at only 1 seat above our lowest number of 20 (in 2002), which is 13% (as you can see, in only a decade, the percentage drop was nearly half).
On the Senate side, it was also GOP controlled from before the Civil War (in 1867, all 40 seats in the Senate were Republican) until 1959. In 22 years, from 1957 to 1979, the erosion was just as dramatic, dropping from 21 seats to 6. In the 1990 landslide, the GOP restored its numbers to what they were in 1959 (the last year it was remotely competitive for control of the body), which was 16 out of 40. In only 8 short years (1993-2001), the numbers plummetted from 16 back to 6, where it remains today (just 15%).
It is very conceivable the GOP could be completely shut out of the legislature as they are at the federal level within a decade, as the 'Rats were back in 1867, and become the first major state outside the South in the modern era to have a one-party legislature.
Christy should drop out. What's important is that Kerry Healey is beginning to climb in the polls, due in part to Patrick's attempting to get early release for a rapist (shades of Willie Horton). She still trails by a large margin, but she's narrowed the gap by about 10 points.
Conservatives need to be aware not of Deval Patrick's inspiring background, but his specific proposals. If you look closely, you'll see that the Deval is in the details.
Unless gerrymandering is ended, The Republicans will be shut out. The Democrat's supposed strength is mostly due to the redistricing plans that they passed in 1980, 1990, and 2000 (and which got progressively worse). Our Republican Governors vetoed the redistricting measure each time, but even then, the legislature overrode them. We need that Common Cause stuff here, but even then, the legislature would probably veto it. Massachusetts is in trouble.
Tell me about it!
Read this -- it proves his ideas for the economy are total socialist rubbish:
Doesn't Massachusetts have referrendums?
Yes, however in 2000, the Legislature voted down a binding resolution that passed with 56% of the vote over the issue of a tax cut.
Of course, MA is the original home of the gerrymander. I'm not sure, however, even if some of that was undone, how much gains could truly be made. I don't think it would even be possible to gerrymander one House seat at the federal level for the GOP. As for legislatively-speaking, I can't imagine the gains would be all that much beyond where they are now. The preeminent problem remains an institutional one within the party, and until that is solved absent of the gerrymandering, the gains will be fleeting, indeed.
It would be possible to draw 4 GOP-leaning seats out of the 9 that MA will have following the 2010 Census. By GOP-leaning I mean that President Bush would have gotten between 47%-50% in 2004, which is a higher percentage than that of Simmons's and Shays's CDs in CT and about the same as Bass's, Bradley's and Johnson's CDs in New England. But, of course, only a GOP-majority state legislature would draw such districts---even if a nonpartisan commission drew the maps, it would likely draw 8 or 9 RAT CDs out of the 9.
In truth, the post-1990 Census map for MA was quite friendly to Republicans, which is why they were able to pick up 2 seats and could have picked up 2-4 others (the CD Meehan won in 1992 had actually voted for Bush in 1988). Weld threatened to veto the map if it didn't meet his specifications, and the RAT legislators were afraid that an impasse (I assume that the GOP had enough votes to stop an override in at least one house) would throw redistricting to the courts, who would likely draw a map that would fail to protect the 4 RAT members with seniority who lived within a few miles of each other (Moakley, Kennedy, Markey, and Frank). The prior year, Weld had similarly shown a partisan bent by scheduling the special election to replace Conte for after universities were on summer vacation in order to aid the GOP candidate, who happened to be a conservative who had lost to Weld in the primary (his last name was Pierce IIRC); the GOP candidate lost by only 53%-47% or so in a very liberal district. Now, we all know that Weld ended up being a worthless RINO who did not move a finger to build the state GOP, but it seems like he at least started off on the right foot before being led astray.
Yeah, I remember you mentioned that before. I would think those would be remarkably contorted designs to get that many seats out of MA (although the current districts are fairly contorted as it is, so maybe they wouldn't be). But as I said, even if we had a shot at drawing the lines, the farm team is so scarce, along with the moribund party apparatus, that such an opportunity would be inherently squandered. It really is remarkable that the GOP was truly staging a comeback in the state only 16 short years ago, but it's like it has been sucked into a black hole ever since.
