In all three visits that we paid to his office, he avoids looking at patient and whosoever is accompanying them. One is bound to wonder if he is outright rude or uncomfortable in his own office. As first time parents there are multitude of queries and questions, he is not one of them who pacifies them as he lacks sensitivity. For patients who need to understand why something may be occurring, he will not bother explaining and just say it is normal. Pathetic communication skills. It is difficult to feel any connect with doctor. Only good part is the office has portal and one can leave questions over there and they get answered. But during pregnancy with all the hormones and changes, if you seek a doctor who can provide you guidance and assurance, then he is definitely not right one for you.
Dr. Weinstein delivered my first baby in 2013. I went to him because someone recommended but when I read some of the not so positive reviews at that time (mostly about him not making eye contact and not being mushy), I was a little hesitant. However, I am so glad I chose him. I found him to be very kind, competent and patient. He never rushed me and truly was interested in making me comfortable. Sometimes he ran late to appointments because he never rushed any of his patients. He is such a huge advocate of vaginal delivery, which was a big relief for me; The last thing I wanted was a C-section which many practitioners rush into these days. He never did any tests or sonos unnecessarily. He relies a lot on his experience and expertise. What I like the most is that it is his practice and he doesn't belong to a big group practice. Every time you go in you get one doctor and not a new face. Unless your timing is really bad, you are guaranteed Dr. Weinstein will deliver the baby. He was going to be my choice for the delivery of my second baby as well. Unfortunately, I had to relocate and now that I am looking for a new obgyn, I truly miss him. If you want a doctor who is no-nonsense, competent and a supporter of minimal intervention, I highly encourage you to select Dr. Weinstein.
Finally a Dr. who takes his time. I was a new patient, 46 years old with a few issues going on. Dr. Weinstein was very patient, asked a lot of questions, typed notes in his computer, actually listened to my concerns. He is extremely thorough & knowledgable. He was helpful to change up my medications to get some less expensive ones which can be an ongoing battle. My last Dr. who I really liked was in my exam room the last few years all of 40 seconds. What a nice refreshing change. Dr. Weinstein's bedside manner is great. Easy to talk to and actually has a sense of humor. I have told all my friends about him. He did my surgery & my best girlfriend got to meet him 2 days later. He came in & chatted with us both for about 30 minutes. She really liked him as well & commented on how nice he was. Great Dr., extremely down to earth, I'd highly recommend him.
I really like Dr. Weinstein and his personality. What I appreciate the most is how he actually takes the time to CARE about his patients. I've never seen something like it anywhere else. I really feel like he knows who each person and wants the best for them. His office is also beautiful and conveniently located and his staff is friendly.
I have had a few experiences with his office and they have been pleasant. I like his honesty and concern toward his patients. After my first visit, I told my husband that they only thing I didn't like about him was his lack of eye contact. It was awkward for a professional not to avoid your eyes, but I liked everything else about him. Therefore, I continued my care with him and the more I get to know him, the better the eye contact gets/the less it bothers me. I would recommend him because of his philosophy, experience and I love how you don't have to wait long in his office. Great customer care.
Dr. Weinstein helped me accomplish my dream birth! I had a VBAC (vaginal birth) after 2 c sections! Dr. Weinstein was encouraging, but also strightforward in explaining my chances and options. As an R.N., I found Dr. Weinstein to be a gem among doctors. He actually listens to you and does everything in his power to give you the birth you desire,but keeps close watch over the safety of mom and baby. He explains all testing and results. And as a nurse, one of my favorite things was the ability to get my lab results online through the patient portal. It's really convenient and a quick way to get results and just communicate back and forth with Dr. W and the staff. The wait time in the office was always minimal and he takes a limited number of patients at a time, which means less wait and more time for each patient to have face time with the doctor. The office staff are always friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable. My husband and I enjoyed forming a rapport with Dr. Weinstein and the office staff over the last 10 months. He is not your average OB, he goes way beyond and above average. Not many docs will offer VBAC, twin vaginal deliveries, and turning breech babies!He does all of this on a regular basis, and I'm so thankful! I wouldn't have had a chance at VBAC if he hadn't turned my breech baby at 36 weeks! Truly caring, concerned and safe doctor who I appreciate so much!
I was trying to find a doctor in the Plano/Little Elm/Frisco area and did A LOT of research. I found 20 reviews on Dr. Weinstein with very little negative reviews. Also, he was a huge supporter of VBACs and I was very much interested in having one. Based on this, I decided to go to Dr. Weinstein as my new doctor for my 3rd pregnancy. When I got to the office the front desk staff was SOOOOO nice. They were so nice, in fact that it almost made up for Dr. Weinstein. Almost. I waited about 20 minutes and then went to the exam room. The nurse that came in was also SOOOOO nice and again almost made up for Dr. Weinsteins behavior. She took the normal stats and then said that Dr. Weinstein would call me into his office and talk to me there before the exam. I had read womens reviews about Dr. Weinstein doing this and was looking forward to this. I dont particular enjoy having my legs spread apart while discussing my concerns. It definitely did NOT meet my expectations. In my opinion, Dr. Weinstein comes off like he has a hard time interacting socially so he forces himself to ask questions to distract from this. I say this because he almost NEVER makes eye contact. My mother told me to never trust anyone that cant make eye contact and now I believe her. The eye contact might not have been as disturbing if he actually had bedside manners with his questions. When someone asks questions they usually wait and listen to the answer. Dr. Weinstein NEVER did. He cut me off on EVERY question he asked. I tried not to think much of it but then his attitude pushed me over the edge. He treated me like an idiot. He asked me about my last 2 C-sections. I explained on the 1st C-Section I wasnt sure of the details because I was so out of it and didnt remember. And the 2nd one happened because of the 1st one. I told him that I would tell him what I knew about the 1st one but it would be better if he got the records from my other doctor. So I told him what I could remember. He then shook his head at me and said Well, your answer makes no sense. Why would anyone give you a C-section based on that story? I told him again that I wasnt sure of the details and he snorted and said Well, yeah, thats for sure. He then told me that if I wanted to I could get a VBAC but he didnt recommend it based on my faulty story. I asked if we could wait until he got the details from my other doctor to make the decision and he said Yeah, sure but it sure sounds shady. I was appalled but it didnt stop there. We went into the exam room where he did my exam. He was doing the Pap smear when he asked if I knew my cervix was irritated. I kinda shrugged and said Im not sure how I would know that. He talked to me like I was an idiot and half-rolled his eyes and said You didnt exam your cervix when you felt pain? I told him that I didnt feel any pain so, no, I didnt exam my cervix. He made a noise and said Well. Then he did the sonogram and even before I could see a blob-like baby on the screen (since its so early) he said Well, it looks like youre completely wrong with the due date. This baby is WAY too small to be as far along as you told us. He said this in a way where I felt like he was accusing me of lying to him. I explained that I kept track of my periods and I was fairly regular. He said Well, Im fairly certain youre 6 weeks along. Then after about 5 minutes of trying to find the baby and realizing the baby was crammed in a weird position he said Well you are 9 weeks but that baby is just in the weirdest position. Anyone would have thought you were 6 weeks. No apology for being a jerk and not even an apologetic tone. I have never in life had such a worst first-time visit with any doctor, let alone an OB that I wanted to deliver my child. Needless to say, I will NOT be using Dr. Weinstein to deliver and have instead found an OB in Carrollton that will do VBACs. I wanted to deliver at Baylor Frisco but not with an OB that cant even make eye contact with you while he insults you! I am not sure how he received so many positive reviews- maybe this was a really, really, really bad day? Or maybe no one cares about being cut off while theyre talking and doesnt need eye contact? Not me!
Dr. Weinstein, listens and really partners with you. I was referred to him by myself. I read his web page and he said he takes care of your "physical and emotional needs." I had pain and my last OBGYN said to do a hysterectomy but he could not tell me why he was quick to make this decision. I brought my report to Dr. Weinstein and he said the report I gave him had no evidence that a hysterectomy would get rid of my pain. I had a previous OBGYN who required you to spend 30 min typing everything and your history on their online form but when you asked them a question they gave you the answer they wanted, or did not even ask some of the hard questions we can not ask outloud. Dr. Weinstein is professional and makes you feel comfortable about your body, how it works and what to do when it doesn't. I love this doctor I recommend him to anyone who wants to partner with a doctor to help you make the correct choices for your own health. A !
I would recomend Dr. Weinstein to anyone looking for a good ob/gyn. I am in my late 40's, my children are grown and I was in so much pain, had heavy bleeding, no engery, and many other problems. Dr. Weinstein listened to me and we talked about my options. I decided to have a hysterectomy. He has been wonderful throughout the whole process and easily accessable. If I call his office or send him an email via the patient portal he responds very quickly. His office staff is warm and friendly, Baylor is a beautiful hospital, (the food is even great) and the staff there is wonderful as well. He doesn't over schedule so you don't have a long wait in his office. I am two weeks post-op and I couldn't be happier with my decision and my Doctor!
amazing staff, great doctor! enough said.
When it comes to really wanting to find out what the problem may be there is definitely a lack of concern here. They only want your money or what money you have and do not care if you are in pain at all. Coming from a background where one of the family members was a Charge Nurse at a very well known hospital in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area according to them it is time to change doctors just due to the lack of concern because some people in the USA do not have health insurance and have to pay out of pocket to receive any kind of care and then that care is really not real and it is all in your head. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone that I truly care about. By the way this family member worked at Baylor! Word does get around...
Dr. Weinstein is the best doctor I have been to. He is up front and to the point and unlike many,many doctors he has a sense of humor. Many issues require serious attention in which I received, but if there was an opportunity to lighten the mood he did. I had a hysterectomy and I have felt wonderful. I have five great kids and started having issues that my mother and grandmother had and Dr. Wenstein saved me from the crap they went through. After the surgery I expected horrible pain and I was mainly sore. I took the pain medication for two days just in case and I have had no problems. I would recommend him to anyone who wants an honest doctor and the best results.
I am 57 years old and Dr. Weinstein was the first doctor to ever spend more than 15 minutes talking to me about my health issues. My husband and I sat in his office and talked for over 30 minutes. He cared enough to listen and offer solid, detailed, fully-explained responses. After a year of almost non-stop bleeding getting worse and worse, I was weak, exhausted and frightened. Within a few weeks under his care, my troubles were dealt with. I'm not bleeding anymore, my hormones are getting back to normal and I'm feeling better. It's been 6 weeks now and I feel like a healthy, strong woman again. He's a great doctor!
I moved to McKinney, Texas last year and had seen another gynecologist for my annual exam. At that time, I told her I was always tired. She did not listen; in fact, she was in the room with me for maybe 5 minutes doing a breast exam and Pap smear. She made me wait 1.5 hours in one of those flimsy gowns before she came into see to me.Earlier this year I saw an ad for Dr, Weinstein in Living Magazine so I decided to try a male gynecologist. I could see he was a family man from the photos and I liked what he said about his approach to medicine. I came to his office and the staff was great from the front office person to his nurse.He took me in his office and discussed my problems; turns out, I have heavier than normal periods. Dr. Weinstein did a complete physical exam and lab workup including a rectal exam, which was positive for blood and determined I, had Iron deficiency anemia, as well as a fibroid uterus. He immediately referred me to a GI doctor who performed an evaluation of my intestine within 2 weeks. Turns out, I had four precancerous polyps, which I had removed, and he started me on iron. My vaginal bleeding continued so he did an ultrasound and biopsy. Which showed the location of the fibroids, which he explained were not likely cancerous. He offered medicine to control the bleeding as well as anl ablation and lastly a Robot Assisted Hysterectomy. He gave me written info about each and even invited my husband to come to another visit if there were any questions,My husband came with me and we decided on hysterectomy as I was finished having children. He was very detailed about the risks and benefits. I had a robot-assisted hysterectomy on a Thursday, went home on Friday. Very little pain and I went back to work in 2 weeks.It has been 2 months and I realize both the anemia and bleeding were really affecting my life and that Dr. Weinstein sending me to the colon doctor saved me from getting colon cancer. I thank g-d for helping me find him.Thanks again Dr. Weinstein, My entire family appreciates your help. I wish you continued success with your new practice in Frisco.
Dr. Weinstein is just a down to earth doctor. He talks to you in easy to understand terms and gave me options for my problems.I also liked that he was so interested in his children so much it made it easy to relate to him.

Sophos UTM and Xbox Live NAT issues
In a previous post about the Sophos UTM, I've received some comments about Xbox Live.
I've recently rebuilt my Sophos UTM and found that my backup configuration files were encrypted with a password I couldn't locate… my bad. So I'm rebuilding all of my firewall rules again.
For the Xbox 360 Live and Kinect, there are some quirks that I hope these steps help you overcome.
- Setup a DHCP reservation for your Xbox so that your UTM will create a network definition and the IP will remain the same.
- Create new service definitions for each of the ports listed in the base article here
- Port 88 (UDP)
- Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
- Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
- Port 80 (TCP)
- Port 1863 (TCP and UDP)
- In my UTM, I've named them Xbox Live UDP 88, Xbox Live TCP & UDP 3074, etc. This helps keep your definitions clean and searchable.
- Create a definition group and call it Xbox Live and Kinect (or whatever helps you keep organized).
- Create a new Firewall rule
- Source Xbox 360 -> Services Xbox Live and Kinect -> Destination Any
- Create a new NAT rule
- Rule Type: DNAT (Destination)
- Matching Condition
- For Traffic from: Any
- Using service: Xbox Live TCP and UDP 3074
- Going to: External (Address)
- Action
- Change the destination to: Xbox 360
- Automatic Firewall rule: Checked!
- Save
Save and don't forget to turn on your Xbox 360 firewall rule before testing.
Here are some screen captures that may help show you what these all mean.
Repairing AirPort coverage
I hope this helps someone but I've been chasing a wifi problem in my house for a few days and finally got to fixing it.
Equipment: 4th Gen Airport Extreme (802.11 a/b/g/n; 2.4GHz & 5GHz)
Symptoms: poor range, slow speeds outside of the room the airport was located.
Configuration: I have it configured auto everything across the board, no unique SSID for the 5Ghz network, and nothing customized other than DNS – thanks to DDOS on Charter's DNS servers I swapped in Google and Level 3's DNS servers.
I loaded a free app on my MacBook called WiFi Explorer that displays wifi signals, noise, and occupied channels but the one built into OS X works equally well. I noticed that the 2.4Ghz network was dropping off for 30-45 seconds every minute even though there are devices on my network that require 2.4GHz.
5GHz was solid but as expected it's range was poor and signal strength at the distances I needed it to work in my house were very low.
Started with power cycling the router. No difference. Soft then Hard reset, no change. 2.4GHz just wouldn't stay on.
Launched Airport Utility and reset the AirPort to the factory setting, no difference. So now I'm thinking hardware issue. Of course, this is not under warranty anymore.
The last trick I had available was to roll back the firmware. In the airport utility click on the AirPort Extreme to display the serial number and firmware version. Option click on the version and pick 7.6.3 from the list. The utility downloads and installs the firmware. Really couldn't be more simple.
Bam all is good after the reboot. Both radios functioning at expected levels. So is it a firmware issue or a glitch? So I decided to upgrade the firmware to the latest. The latest does have some good fixes.
After the reboot everything has been solid again. WiFI Explorer shows 5GHz and 2.4GHz on solid and never dropping off. I'm going to chalk it up to a glitch in the firmware that was cleared by reloading the firmware. The only way to do that for these is to rollback then upgrade again. Luckily though in true apple fashion – the utility does all the hard work and maintains your configurations.
Also the iOS utility offers the same functionality, so it's easy to repair these.
Master Images – hidden CPU time bombs
Wrapping up master images has become something virtualization engineers of all product disciplines have to become familiar with. A bad master image can be deployed dozens or hundreds of times – only to find out a simple tweak could have saved you thousands in necessary hardware costs.
Here's a new hidden gem I found and I hope to add to this list as more arrive.
Installing or updating Dot Net
Almost all Microsoft patching includes some form of a dot net update. When this product is updated, it likes to recompile a lot of code to help speed up launching dot net applications – pre-compiling actually does help user perception of application launch speeds.
Typically you run windows update on a server or workstation and dot net installs its updates and queues items in a work list that dot net executes later. This typically happens later in the day or evening and almost always pegs your CPU for a minute to 1/4 of an hour while is pre-compiles code.
Microsoft is pretty clear about this process in this MSDN Blog post.
The problem is, when you're patching master images – you don't want to leave the queued items for each deployed VM to have to execute. Deploy a dozen servers, and now you have a dozen servers with queued dot net jobs waiting to flog your CPUs.
For Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 servers, you can easily kick off these queued items before you wrap up your images for templates by following these simple steps:
- Run a comand prompt or powershell prompt with administrative privlegdges.
- Run this command:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe executeQueuedItems
- Wait for the compiling to finish
- Exit
The blog post above contains other paths for other versions of Windows, but hopefully that helps others.
Sophos Home Firewall with Captive Portal Guest Network using Airport Extreme APs
KISS, keep it simple stupid. An old saying I try to keep in mind when working on a solution. My home network hasn't maintained this zen philosophy.
My most recent setup has been driven by a recent discovery that I can keep my Apple Airport's built in Guest network, as long as I can connect the Airport's to something that can pickup VLAN 1003, the VLAN Apple decided to isolate the users on the guest network so they wouldn't be able to see file or print shares on the main network.
So I decided to build a firewall but the only hardware I had was a bit overkill and didn't want to dedicate the whole thing to this one task. I started with a used Dell OptiPlex 745 micro tower. This little workhorse has a dual core Intel CPU chugging along at 1.8Ghz, it's got the virtualization instructions and 64bit capable. The Dell came with a tiny hard drive and a few gig of ram, but I grabbed a spare SATA drive and purchased four sticks of 2GB RAM from an ebay seller. I also picked up an Intel gigabit NIC to compliment the onboard gigabit NIC.
The Dell runs VMware ESXi 5.5 with a free license. I've configured the VMware host with four networks.
- External network, connected to the vSwitch that uplinks to the Intel Gigabit NIC
- Internal network, connected to the vSwitch that uplinks to the onboard Gigabit NIC
- Guest network, connected to the same vSwitch that uplinks to the onboard Gigabit NIC, but is on VLAN 1003
- DMZ network, connected to a vSwitch that doesn't connect to anything physical, I'll use it for test/dev VMs I create on the host.
I signed up for a free account with Sophos, here so I could download their UTM software. They also provide a generous license for home users that will protect up to 50 IP addresses. It's almost nearly fully functional and includes managed end point protection for up to ten Windows computers. If I really wanted to go nuts, I could buy some Astaro (now Sophos) wireless access points and have them fully managed from this server but I think the Airport Extremes will work just fine.
Sophos offers a prebuilt appliance you can download and just run out of the box, but I think they let their junior assistant's intern build it. It has poor performing configuration choices… and really you're just better off building it from scratch. The .ISO is pretty universal – it'll handle installing on bare metal, virtual, or being installed on Astaro/Sophos hardware appliances.
So going on information from the forums and documentation:
- OS is based on SLES 11 64bit
- 1 CPU, 2 Core
- 4GB of RAM
- 60GB of Disk, using a SAS controller
- 4 x VMXNET3 vNICs – leave all but the internal vNIC disconnected (Intel E1000 vNICs work, too but will consume more resources than the VMXNET3 paravirtual vNICs)
- USB controller (for USB backups)
- Delete the floppy disk drive, serial, and parallel ports
Boot the VM from the .ISO, and go through a few basic questions. It'll handle the disk partitioning, volume formatting, and even installs VMware Tools for you because it identifies itself as a VMware VM and goes that extra step. Once you do the install, you'll have to browse to the server's IP on port 4444. During this final setup you'll be prompted to upload the license file Sophos sends you and answer a few questions about the preliminary firewall rules.
I would recommend checking all of the basic firewall rules – Email, DNS, Web, etc. This will make your start a little easier. Leave the rest of the monitoring, filtering, and all that disabled, it's only going to get in the way.
Now comes the tricky part – matching the physical nics with the virtual networks and vNICs on the Sophos UTM virtual machine. Under Interfaces & Routing, click on Interfaces. You'll see your Internal interface [UP]. Add a second interface, let's start with the Guest network.
- Name: Guest
- Type: Ethernet Static
- Hardware: Pick one
- IPv4 Address: choose an IP for this interface and a net mask to set the size. This IP will be the gateway for everything on this network.
- No other settings need to be changed or enabled
Once you save the interface, you'll see that it's [down]. Edit your VM, and enable the vNIC connected to the Guest network. If the interface doesn't go up, edit it and pick a different eth in the hardware menu. Once you hit it, follow through on the other networks until you have all four up and running.
Now, Sophos UTM comes out of the box ready to support an internal LAN and external WAN. Additional network will require some more configuration, read on.
Network Services
DHCP and DNS needs to be configured for at least the Guest network. You can set it up for DMZ too, if you want. Navigate to Network Services, DNS. In the Global tab, click the folder icon and choose your Guest (Network) and DMZ (Network).
Then switch over to DHCP and click New DHCP Server, and add a new one for the Guest network. The gateway and DNS IP addresses will be the interface IPs you setup earlier, they end in .1.
While you're here – switch to the NTP network service and allow Guest and DMZ to access the NTP server you'll configure later.
Masquerading Rules
The one setting that got me stuck was the NAT settings. Switch to Network Protection – NAT. You'll notice a rule already set for Internal (Network) -> External.
Clone this rule and set it up for DMZ and Guest so they can also connect to the outside world.
Airport Changes
Now that I had a functional firewall, I needed to get the Airport Extreme devices configured. I launched the Airport utility from my Mac (you can do the same from any iOS device) and configured the Airports for bridge mode and turned off the password on my Guest network – the UTM will handle authentication now. Everything else works fine – one of my AEs is a print server with two printers, and a Time Machine backup target with a 2TB USB disk attached… all work fine.
Pro tip: once the AE is in "bridged mode" ,
you lose the ability to use the WAN port for anything. Just use the LAN ports for connectivity back to the Sophos UTM or other Airport Extreme APs the WAN port becomes a LAN port in bridged mode (I had a different experience in previous firmwares, so something must have changed). If you use a switch – make sure it can forward VLAN tagged traffic, most SOHO switches will not. If you have multiple Airport Extreme APs, daisy chain the AE APs to ensure VLAN 1003 packets get delivered back to the Sophos UTM and hang the switch off of the other ports to provide more access ports to your internal devices.
Captive Portal
Okay, this was the icing on the cake for this deployment. Now that I have my guest network isolated on a dedicated interface and VLAN, I can really do some neat stuff with Sophos UTM.
- In the Wireless Protection section visit Global Settings.
- Enable the Wireless Protection, then add the Guest interface to the allowed interfaces.
- Click Apply.
- Visit the Wireless Networks, Access Points, and clean out any auto-configured networks or access points.
- Then click on Hostspots. Enable the Hotspot feature.
- Switch to the Hotspots tab.
- Add a new one, call it Guest Portal or something easy to identify.
- Add the Guest interface to this hotspot and configure the rest of the options for your unique needs.
Tips: The Password of the Day will not be an easy password. It'll be something like ogaleseh35 (that was yesterday's password at my house). This password is good for the day.
You can opt for a Voucher system… which is really powerful. You can limit by time and or consumed bandwidth. I can see myself forcing my kids to use a guest network and only handing out vouchers when stuff is done around the house. You can delegate access to other people so they can log into a user portal on the Sophos UTM and print or PDF additional vouchers.
Additional Features
A few other features I turned on:
- Global IPS, I turned off the IPS for now on my internal network until I can isolate my dumb media devices (smart TVs, etc) and exclude them
- Endpoint Protection (free AV software) – sophos managed end point for Windows (OS X is free, but still not managed yet!)
- Uplink Monitoring – I won't get emailed when it goes down (duh!) but I'll get the down and up alert when the UTM can send email again.
- User Portal – for people to get VPN setup and vouchers for guest wifi
- NTP – accurate time isn't an option any more.
Additional Firewall Rules
Sophos UTM is a true firewall. Nothing gets in or out with an explicit rule. This can be very challenging at home when you have a myriad of different devices. Most devices like Apple TV, Vizio TV apps, and the like catch a ride on port 80 or 443, so if you have web enabled, you're good to go.
Additional rules are needed to allow stuff like MineCraft, Apple Push Notifications, AT&T Microcell, Mumble, Xbox Live, etc… be prepared to spend some time digging around knowledge bases or Googling to find the appropriate ports. Luckily, it's real easy to build rules.
Tip: Use groups for rules that you may need to add different ports or services to a single rule. I made one called Games. Now when I run into another game (or service like Steam) that needs another port allowed out – I can create the Network Service, and just add it to the existing Games group.
I have a rule for Apple. Holy crap they have a lot going on. Most you don't need to allow out or are handled by existing rules.
- iCloud DAV services, iChat, FaceTime, Game Center, yuck… Lots of UDP port ranges, but again these are only allowing these apps OUT – not random internet person reach into your network on these same ports. On the topic of Apple, when watching the firewall logs I forgot they have a Class A IP range… so it may be easiest just to create a Network rule and call it Apple's Network… then you can use that in each rule for apple.
- Xbox Live has a list of UDP and TCP ports that need out, and a NAT rule to allow UDP/TCP 3074 back in
- AT&T's Microcell needs to have https, ntp, and some IPSec traffic allowed out to femtocell.wireless.att.com and after watching it fail – another IP, 126.96.36.199, in AT&T's IP range that wasn't documented. Once that last IP was added to the rule, bam – solid 5 bars.
Final Tips
One last thing that can help your UTM perform better is to disable logging and reporting if you don't need it. I turned off all the reports but after reviewing the rules – the logs can be retained for no less than 1 day. So I chose to disable logging. This caused a problem with troubleshooting the firewall – I couldn't view the live log, it wasn't being generated!
So I turn it on when I want to troubleshoot something, but I'll leave it disabled. I'm not sure how the 5th amendment fits in to a firewall keeping logs of your internet traffic for a year… but if you don't have to save all the data about your network activity – why flog your UTM's storage when you don't have to.
On the flip side, if somethings not working – almost every feature has a Live Log view so you can watch the blocked packets fly by. This is exceptionally helpful.
vCloud Director Failing to Customize Windows 2008 Server
This evening I got an urgent email from a colleague that just got the rug pulled out from under him. His customer decided that the two web servers on the front end of a SharePoint farm he was building couldn't be 2008 R2 because they require 32bit servers. I stayed far away from the "why" – and just wanted to help deliver the "how" as easy and fast as possible.
The problem he ran into was when he deployed two Windows 2008 32bit Enterprise Edition servers… they never customized from the template. Still had the default password, network settings, and host names, just bit for bit clones of the template with a customized answer file waiting to be applied.
Normally, vCloud Director will clone the template, push an answer file to it that contains all the things that have to change to make it a unique server, then kick off a sysprep (in windows) to make it all happen. Within a few minutes your clone is now a new server with your settings already set – ready to run.
Not this time. And to be honest, I don't ever think we deployed a 2008 32bit Enterprise server – so the template may have been broken from day -1.
After digging around in the sysprep logs, I find a break…
SYSPRP LaunchDll:Failure occurred while executing 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iessetup.dll,SysPrep_Cleanup', returned error code 2 SYSPRP RunExternalDlls:An error occurred while running registry sysprep DLLs, halting sysprep execution. dwRet = 2
Okay, so I verify iessetup.dll exists. So why aren't you executing it.
After more digging and some Googling, I think I find the root of the issue… we're missing a registry key.
It appears that when .NET is installed and removed before sys prep – it can remove the RunOnce key, which is used by Sysprep to store some commands using iessetup.dll.
I simply launched our template, added the key, and wrapped it back up. Redeployed the two servers – and bam…
Two 2k8 32bit servers deployed without a hitch. It's now 1:10am and I haven't even touched my other work tonight.

|Issue Date:
|The development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensive drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis(TB) combined with subsequent transmission constitutes a serious threat to the effective control of tuberculosis in several countries. Lisbon Health Region, despite great progresses in TB management still presents a high number of MDR/XDR-TB cases. The development of this type of resistance is the result of adaptative selection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains that acquire and accumulate specific mutations at specific genes. The presently known mechanisms of drug resistance include the modification or overexpression of drug targets, inactivation of drug- activator enzymes and overexpression of drug-modifying enzymes. Although the molecular basis of resistance of MDR/XDR-TB strains circulating in Lisbon has already been addressed in different studies, the dynamics or mode of resistance acquisition that have lead to the different circulating strains is still partially unclear. In the present study we have genotyped and screened a set of 44 MDR/XDR-TB isolates for mutations in tlyA, gyrA, rrs and eis genes. We have determined the most prevalent mutations found in each gene to be Ins755GT in tlyA, A1401G in rrs, G-10A in eis and S91P in gyrA. Two genetic clusters previously known to be associated with XDR-TB were detected, Lisboa3 and Q1, containing 27 and 17 isolates, respectively. Lisboa3 strains isolated in the 90's with the same mutational profile of recent XDR-TB Lisboa3 strains were found, emphasizing the ancient XDR-TB problem in the region. Also investigated was the resistance level conferred by eis G-10A mutations, revealing that eis G-10A mutations may result in an undetectable AMK resistance. We concluded by analyzing the mutational distribution found by genetic cluster that in Q1 cluster two mutations, gyrA D94A and rrs A1401G, were enough to ensure development of XDR-TB from a multidrug resistant strain. Moreover, in Lisboa3 cluster it was possible to determine that the development of kanamycin low-level resistance mediated by eis promoter mutations was at the origin of independent emergence of several XDRTB strains that can be discriminated within Lisboa3 genetic cluster by tlyA mutations.

2012's Top 10 Country Albums
This year's swath of country albums were a diverse collection of contemporary pop, new rough-edged sounds and throwbacks to the genre's roots. Mega releases from the biggest stars filled country radio and vied with underrated albums from new artists and legends. All this made picking a list of the Top 10 albums difficult in spots (I hated having to leave off Lee Brice's "Hard 2 Love") and easy in others (Dwight Yoakam was an obvious number one).
Here's my take on the year's top 10 - records that I've enjoyed from the first spin and have returned to throughout the year. Click here to listen to a Spotify playlist with all of these albums. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

So, there was this moment when we read that "The Firm" was coming to television where we kind of thought that NBC had finally decided to just give up on scripted programming and air an exercise show in primetime. We are exceptionally happy that they haven't gone that route and are instead taking the Tom Cruise-starring film from the John Grisham novel and turning that into a television series. Josh Lucas ("The Lincoln Lawyer") takes on the Tom Cruise role, which actually means little to us because we don't remember the movie or the book so well. We are quite curious to learn all about it again here.

Michigan 41, Illinois 8
Karan Higdon rushed for 106 yards on eight carries. [Bryan Fuller]
We're running out of nitpicks.
Michigan dominated another overmatched foe, outgaining Illinois 561-172, and in the aftermath there was very little to complain about.
Even the Rutgers game featured a slow start from the offense. That did not happen today, as Jim Harbaugh utilized a dizzying array of formations, personnel, and misdirection to conduct a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. Jake Butt finished it off with a screamingly open three-yard touchdown out of the now-legendary "Train" pre-snap look.
Wilton Speight had been a culprit in those previous slow starts, and generally shaky over the last few weeks. Today, he was as sharp as he's been all year, connecting on 16-of-23 passes for 253 yards. He was responsible for the first two touchdowns, the short toss to Butt and a play-action strike to Tyrone Wheatley Jr. from 21 yards out. Neither was his best throw of the day; that would be a 30-yard post route to Amara Darboh he fit between multiple defenders. His numbers could've been even better if a couple close-call deep balls had been hauled in.
"I think Wilton Speight may have had one of his best games of the year," said Jim Harbaugh. "Whether we were going into the wind, with the wind. He was throwing that intermediate, deep stuff—those 30-, 40-yard throws—just on the money."
Speight mentioned that he'd spent the bye week poring over film from the first six games in order to correct mistakes. The hard work showed in his play.
Michigan had a surprise reshuffling of the offensive line, replacing Juwann Bushell-Beatty at left tackle with Ben Braden and moving Ben Bredeson into the lineup at left guard. While Braden got beat for a sack—on a play in which Speight was partially culpable for holding onto the ball too long—the pass protection was generally good, and the run game flourished.
Even with ample garbage-time totes by walk-ons, Michigan averaged five yards per non-sack carry. Karan Higdon led the way with 106 yards on only eight carries, including a weaving 45-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to cap the day's scoring.
"His acceleration, his vision, everything is improving," Harbaugh said. "When he gets to the second level he's got a really good gear to him."
Michigan only had one sack but Jeff George Jr. was under siege. [Eric Upchurch]
Facing third-string walk-on Jeff George Jr., the defense was nearly as dominant as they were against Rutgers. George went 0-for-7 in the first half with an interception when Dymonte Thomas jumped a screen pass one play after Michigan's first failed offensive drive.
"It's about time," Thomas said. This was his first career interception, and apparently the rest of the defense had been rather critical of his hands.
Malik Turner accounted for 86 yards and a touchdown on two catches, both after the game was well in hand. Those two plays accounted for precisely half of the Illini yardage. Turner capitalized on a mismatch with Ben Gedeon on the first. On the touchdown, Delano Hill misplayed a hopeful heave by George to allow Turner to come down with it.
Even the game's most disappointing drives had positive outcomes. Illinois's first big play, a 45-yard run by Ke'Shawn Vaughn out of the wildcat, ended when Jabrill Peppers sprinted him down from the opposite side of the field. The drive ended with a punt four plays later. On the other side, Michigan had two drives stall in Illinois territory in the third quarter; Kenny Allen salvaged both with 23- and 27-yard field goals, a welcome sight given his recent struggles.
The most significant concerns were injury-related. Chris Evans took a nasty helmet-to-helmet hit that knocked him unconscious on his only carry. Harbaugh said after the game that Evans had recovered relatively well by the time he saw him at halftime, but that's obviously something to monitor heading into next week. Khalid Hill went to the locker room after the third quarter and did not return; there wasn't an update on him after the game. Grant Perry sat out the game with what Harbaugh admitted, after some prying, was a disciplinary issue.
Well, there was one other concern. At the end of his presser, Harbaugh asked whether anyone had seen a replay of the late review—on which Harbaugh challenged the spot on a third-down catch with two minutes left, up 41-8. He was outwardly perplexed as to how the officials could get that call wrong. Michigan, of course, managed to overcome this tragic miscarriage of justice by converting the fourth down on a Bobby Henderson dive, then kneeling out the clock.
Now they're on to Michigan State. It's time to right some more wrongs.
"No question about it," Harbaugh said, responding to a question about whether they'd move on quickly to the MSU game. "Big game. Championship game for our team. We celebrate all wins, but we'll get on pretty quickly to our next opponent."

Punt/Counterpunt: Illinois 2016
By Bryan MacKenzie
Ah, Homecoming. That annual tradition when we see the return of long-lost friends who look only vaguely familiar.
"Wait, don't tell me... Illinois, right? Oh, man, good to see you again. How's things with Tim? Still good? Oh... sorry to hear that."
This year's edition may be a nostalgic throwback in several ways. The last time Michigan played Illinois was 2012, when the Wolverines threw Tim Beckman a 45-0 farewell party. The last time Jim Harbaugh stood on the opposite sideline from Illinois was 1986, when he quarterbacked the Wolverines to a 69-13 hamblasting of the Illini. The last time he faced off against new Illinois hear coach Lovie Smith, Harbaugh's 49ers defeated Smith's Bears 32-7 in the game that saw the emergence of Colin Kaepernick as a starter. And the last time Harbaugh coached a game at Michigan Stadium, Michigan State was 2-1 and ranked in the top 25. My, how time flies.
On the other side of the ball, there's a good chance that Jeff George will be under center for Illinois. Not That Jeff George, of course. Not the two-year starter at Illinois who went on to be the #1 overall selection in the NFL draft before pissing off everyone he came in contact with in the NFL. That Jeff George played two games against Michigan, getting outscored 62-19. No, this year's edition is his son, Jeff George, Jr. George the Younger is a redshirt freshman who was a two star greyshirt, and who has yet to see any real action. But now, with Wes Lunt questionable with a back injury (he missed the Rutgers game) and Chayce Crouch questionable with a shoulder injury (he could barely physically throw a football against Rutgers), George may be throwing the first passes of his collegiate career in the the Big House into a Don Brown defense.
So, all things being equal, history would seem to favor Michigan. But oh, good sweet galloping ghosts, nothing about this game is equal. Illinois is coming off a game in which they were outgained by Rutgers. The week before that they lost to Purdue, a team that fired its head coach eight days later and is PURDUE. They are giving up the most yards per pass in the Big Ten. They haven't won multiple road games in a season since 2010. And their backup quarterback this week might be a guy they moved from defensive back... this week.
Michigan, meanwhile, has been an absolute sower of destruction on defense.
- They're in the top 5 in the country in most of the fancystats, including the top overall defense in S&P+ by an unfathomable amount.
- They're #1 the country in scoring defense (10.3 points per game).
- They're #3 in yards per carry allowed (2.86).
- They're #1 in yards per pass allowed (4.6) by more than half a yard.
- They're #1 in total yards per play allowed (3.58) by more than half a yard.
- They're #1 in 3rd down conversions allowed, and have only allowed 10 first downs ALL SEASON.
Oh, and they are also #2 in the country in scoring at 50 points per game.
If you average the scores of those four games I mentioned above, you get something that seems fair, if even generous, to Illinois under the circumstances. But above all, Homecoming is a time to honor the past. Michigan 52, Illinois 10.
by Nick RoUMel
Michigan and Illinois have had some memorable games. Mostly because Illinois isn't always aware they're supposed to suck, and they come in to the Big House to do noble battle. Sometimes they win, others they fall a tad short.
1981 – The Illini were 5-3 and loaded for bear against the 6-2 and 12th ranked Wolverines. They scored the first three times they had the ball behind all-Big 10 quarterback (and future New England Patriot) Tony Eason, roaring to a 21-7 first quarter lead.
Michigan went on to win 70-21. LOL.
1992 – The unranked visitors battled undefeated and #3 Michigan to a 22-22 tie. The Wolverines fumbled ten times, losing six.
1993 – Playing for a second consecutive year in Michigan Stadium, 26-point underdog Illinois stunned Michigan when Simeon Rice stripped Ricky Powers of the football in the final minute and the Illini drove for the touchdown to win 24-21.
1999 – Led by Tom Brady, the #9 Wolverines were supposed to have an easy time against unranked Illinois, and led 27-7 in the 3rd quarter. Illinois stormed back to win 35-29.
2001 – The last time both teams were ranked when they met, #17 Michigan defeated #21 Illinois 45-20. Despite the loss, the Illini won the conference, but lost to LSU in the Sugar Bowl.
2010 – Michigan's 67-65 triple overtime victory was the highest scoring game in the history of the Big Ten - and indeed thrilling to watch, in sort of an icky way - especially when you realized afterwards that we gave up 8 more points in that game than Bo Schembechler's defense gave up in the entire 1972 football season.
2012 – All was right with the world as a loaded Brady Hoke roster shut out Illinois 45-0 behind my all-time favorite Wolverine Denard Robinson. After that game, Hoke's record at Michigan stood at 15-4. From that point forward, his teams went 16-16 before his inglorious firing.
2016 – Illinois is supposed to suck. They are a 28-point underdog to the #3 Wolverines. They sport two wins: against Murray State (the only college named after an accountant) and a truly woeful Rutgers squad.
On paper, today's game is as bad a match as Man O'War vs. Upset. You remember this 1919 horse race, of course. It's the only contest Man O'War lost in his career, to a 100-1 underdog, that gave us a name we still use 97 years later to describe a shocking, unexpected loss.
Illinois is no stranger to being an underdog. (Another language lesson: underdog and top dog come from dog fighting, referring to the relative position of the winner and loser.) The Illini have come into Michigan Stadium before, fearless and irrepressible, and shocked the Michigan sports world. Whenever the odds makers count them out, the Illini rise like ... like ....
... Nah, I just can't do it. Brian, dude, I love you; but you just don't pay me enough.

MGoRadio 2.6: A Very Bo Show
1 hour and 42 minutes
The Store. The Store. The Store.
MGoRadio was recorded before a live retail audience at The Bo Store, 333 S. Main Street. Special guests this week: author/friend of the blog Craig Ross and Michigan great offensive tackle Big Ed Muransky. Also a big thanks to the good doctor, Dustin Meldrun (the one in the yellow cardigan), for bringing us beer.
A big thanks to our sponsors. The show is presented by UGP & Moe's and frankly would not be happening without them; Rishi and company have been on board here from almost the beginning. Shopping with them helps us and supports good dudes. Check out their new Bo Store on Main.
Our other sponsors are also key in the expanding empire: thanks to Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, Liz Crowe, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Defensive Drivers Group, and Tailgater Concierge.
1. Rutgers Postmortem and Looking Ahead
starts at 1:00
After the UFRs our opinion is that Rutgurs urnt gurd. Got to see a Don Brown plan versus Homeless Man's Ohio State. Asiasi blocking: oy oy oy. Attacking Quarters defenses means going vertical with your slot receivers. Teams favored by S&P+ as much as Michigan is over State are 1500-6?
2. Hot Taking With a Cool Craig Ross
starts at 25:44
Three-thousand year old druid Craig Ross joins and tries to make us say the things we're thinking. Keeping LJ Scott's legs fresh for the NFL. Worst case scenario for Michigan is a couple of bad drives for Speight or something, but they can still run the ball and use Peppers to win a punt-a-thon.
3. Remembering Bo, with Big Ed Muransky
starts at 54:34
Ed recounts the Pasadena lace shirt motorcycle incident, and the kinds of things that Bo cared about. Bo didn't allow his linemen to be over 299 pounds, so they were all 287. Ed remembers Jim and John Harbaugh as kids around the locker room—Jimmy deserved to get taped to the locker. Jim Harbaugh as the heir apparent and how things didn't align right away; Jim gets kids these days, he gets football, and he gets the school, and those are all crucial.
4. Gimmicky Top Five Big Ten Traditions that Need to Go the Way of Chief Illiniwek, and Recruiting Roundup
starts at 1:22:15
Most of them have to do with Iowa or programs added since the Original Big Ten lost Chicago. Almost made it through this segment without some Penn State Bad Thing references.
Also Brian pronounces all the prospects who will be on campus this week. Tufele appears like a guy who can play on the DL immediately. We talk about the crystal ball flips made on OL guys, particularly Slaton and the weirdness around there.

Illinois has a relatively legit coach in Lovie Smith, formerly of the Bears, but is still digging out from the demise of the Beck Man era and the brief Bill Cubit tenure that followed. The results have not been pretty. Rutgers, who you may remember cowering in fear for three hours two weeks ago, just outgained Illinois in a 24-7 UI win.
Add "approximately as good as Rutgers" to "probably playing a third string quarterback" and you get the above spread, which is truly massive. Juice Williams and Greg Robinson aren't walking through that door.
Run Offense vs Illinois
Illinois enters with some quality pass rushers... and one of the worst rushing defenses in the country. They're #122 in S&P+ after five straight weeks in which they gave up 200 rushing yards. (UNC was technically at 197, but remove sacks and they're at 204.) The two most recent of those weeks were games against Purdue and Rutgers.
Purdue. And Rutgers.
This has been a holistic collapse. Illinois is tied for 110th in 30+ yard rushes ceded with 7; per S&P they're in the bottom third of the country in adjusted line yards and dismal in run success rate. On the other hand, they have a ton of TFLs. DE Carroll Phillips has 11, but when he's not beating a guy he's losing in a blowout. It's quite a trick to be on pace for nearly 20 TFLs and end up slightly negative to PFF; Phillips has pulled this off. Ace on the Illinois DL:
Smoot is a problem. DTs Rob Bain and Jamal Milan both stood out to me as strong run defenders—I clipped a nice run stuff from Milan and was tempted to add another to the video pile before realizing he isn't in the starting lineup. SDE Gimel President, an Auburn grad transfer, has the size and strength to allow Smoot to move to the weak side. WDE Carroll Phillips is more in the Winovich mold; he provides decent pass-rush, too, though he's more susceptible to getting pushed off the line—his presence forces Smoot to play SDE. Freshman DT Kenyon Jackson looks like a freshman for the most part, but did have a couple nice plays in this game.
Illinois will blitz, stunt, and twist all day to cover up for mediocre nose tackle Chunky Clements, who is a name All-American and iffy run defender. Sometimes they'll slice past Michigan opposition for a TFL. When that doesn't happen Michigan will rip off chunks of yards. Illinois's defensive strategy appears to be "do anything to get the opposition in a passing down," and they will win on that from time to time.
If Illinois is hitting early this could be more of a frustrating slog than you would anticipate given their numbers to date; it is deeply unlikely they can go a full game without cracking and giving Michigan some huge chunk runs. This goes double if Michigan continues to work Jabrill Peppers and his Pepcat package into the gameplan.
KEY MATCHUP: MICHIGAN RUNNING BACKS versus UNEXPECTED CUTBACK LANES AS ILLINOIS GETS AGGRESSIVE. They're going to be there; the Illinois DL is very much a roar-into-a-gap kind of outfit. Isaac's been doing a great job finding the little creases; he could be in for a big game.
[Hit THE JUMP for OH MAN THIS LINE against MICHIGAN'S DL is a THING I SAY EVERY WEEK NOW]

US energy network seen as vulnerable to hackers
The US energy network could be vulnerable to a hacker attack through its interlinked computer systems, causing heavy damage to...
This Article Covers
Risk management
"The whole energy system is being run on a cyber system," Abbie Layne, project manager at the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory, told an electricity industry conference in Houston.

"You can do a lot of damage just through a quick strong strike to that cyber system," she said.
A successful attack on computer networks that support the electricity system could have devastating economic impact if a "cascading" shutdown hobbled the grid of power lines, possibly shutting off the lights in a region.
"If we lose this infrastructure...we could have a lot of damage to our economy," Layne said.
Energy industry experts believe that while a threat to oil tankers, pipelines or power plants remains a frightening prospect, there is no evidence those sites have been targeted.
"To this point, there have been no specific threats to the industry," Gary Gardner, chief information officer at the American Gas Association, told the conference.
Although manuals describing methods to attack natural gas systems were discovered by U.S. forces during raids on suspected Taliban and al Qaeda bases in Afghanistan, Gardner said the industry did not believe a violent attack against an energy installation was the most likely scenario.
Security for power plants, oil refineries and the vast network of natural gas and oil pipelines comes under the jurisdiction of a former Department of Energy unit that was recently moved to the newly created Department of Homeland Security.
Another Homeland Security division handles "cyber," or computer network, security, but that unit remains without a leader despite an extensive search, according to Harris Miller, a security expert and president of the industry umbrella group Information Technology Association of America.
"There is nobody in the Department of Homeland Security in charge of cyber-security," Miller said. "It's a little scary."
The energy sector does have some safeguards to prevent interlopers from gaining access to sensitive systems, Miller said, but it probably falls "in the middle of the pack" compared with other industries.
Still, even the financial industry, which boasts the most secure networks, can be hit by hacker attacks, Miller said.
In January, the "slammer worm" virus infiltrated financial companies' computers systems despite widely available preventive software, and last month hackers accessed about 8 million credit card numbers from a processing company.

The apartment is located in a quiet part in the centre of Budapest, very close to all sight-seeing spots and the river Danube. Supermarkets and bakeries are located just around the corner. We stayed three nights with five persons and found enough space for everybody. Two bedrooms with two single beds, but one without window and one bedroom with a double bed. The apartment quality was fairly okay.
The appearance of the bathroom as well as the separate toilet did hardly match with the pictures shown on the web side. Especially the shower curtain desperately need to get cleaned or removed. The kitchen outfit can be described as poor. Lack of sufficient number of cutlery, plates and glasses comes together with really tiny space to do the dish washing or cooking (two plates), respectively. We missed a dishwasher, too. The provided bed sheets and especially towels where anything else than spotless and can partly be described as filthy, even dirty. Better bring your own linen. For a departure after 10 o'clock a.m. we were asked to pay an extra fee of 10 Euros.
Conclusion: We'll come back to the beautiful city of Budapest but next time we will definitely chose another accommodation.
We stayed in August in this appartment. We arrived on the agreed time, a young man checked us in but he was not very nice. He was in a hurry en did not give much information. The furniture are simple and the beds are not very comfortable. It was also not very clean everywhere. The location is great, the best!!! and i think that is why you should book this appartment. Not for luxury and comfort. All in all we had a great stay and much fun in Budapest, we really recomment the city but if we went to Budapest again i am sure we would book a different appartment.
Beautiful, clean apartament in the center of Budapest. Close to metro, buses, trams etc. It had everything we needed. Excellent for six people. If we visit Budapest again we definitely stay there once more :)
Hi! Very nice and clean apartment. The renovation noise disturbet a bit. The driver didn't spoke English. The housekeeper was helpful again. Everything was still easy and worked well. Would take this apartment again next summer.
Amazing stay! The apartment was perfect and the communication with the owner superb. We even booked transportation from and to the airport in a very short period of time and they managed to arrange it. Absolutely no complains whatsoever!
It's ok
The apartment is in a great location and is pretty good inside.
Apartment is very cozy and pretty, we were realy lucky to spend time there! These people are very helpful, and we really reccomend their apartments. Thanks :)
A very comfortable apartment for a very low prize. Maybe need another shower if 8 people are in.
An apartment very central, close to e everything you could possibly need.
Spotless, perfekt for 6 people due to 3 bedrooms. The host and his crew were easy
and fast to get in contact with. Perfect stay for a good price!

What is the best way to get stuck valve casings and slides off without excessive pressure or pliers?
I know going to the shop and spending the extra dollars is the safe way to go, but anything I should try before spending the money?
What is the best way to get stuck valve casings and slides off without excessive pressure or pliers?
I know going to the shop and spending the extra dollars is the safe way to go, but anything I should try before spending the money?
I assume your talking about upper and lower valve caps and not the casings; or maybe the valves are stuck in the casings. When I start taking apart a horn with stuck slides I start by running warm water through the horn for several minutes. I have a hose that clips over a faucet that I can plug into the receiver and just let it flow with as much pressure as I can. If that doesn't work I soak the horn in warm water for a few hours (realizing things like felts can be damaged in the process). Various snakes can help get the tuning slide free, and a liberal amount of valve oil can sometimes loosen up sticky caps and valves. That's about all I can think of without resorting to tools. I've pulled lots of slides from lots of horns, but when I picked up a classic Couesnon flugel with a stuck 2nd valve that I intended to keep I didn't even mess with it--I took it to the shop--a small price to pay to eliminate the possibility of my damaging the horn.
Anything stuck should be a trip to your local tech, IMHO.....DONT DO what the "experts" on You Tube suggest....rawhide mallets, WD 40......the ONLY thing that gets near my horns are valve oil, slide grease,a polishing rag and my lips!!!! No tools, no chemicals,no brute force.........
Don't screw with it..take it to a shop...if you are really not sure then you could cause more damage to the horn which in turn would cost more to fix. Let the pros handle it.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge
Do a search on this and the other forum for stuck slides, stuck valve caps. I have a set of rubberized pliers for pulling spark plug boots off the plugs and they work great on the stuck valve caps:
Nothing is more contagious or tenacious than music. Once you are exposed it gets inside you and you can never get rid of it. It is also non-discriminating. It can be Ride of the Valkyries, In a Gadda da Vida, the Jeopardy 15 second thinking tune, your most disliked commercial jingle - it doesn't matter. Once triggered, off you go, like it or not.
I agree with sending it to a tech. As an aspiring tech, I often see horns that are screwed up with the "best intentions". The valves and casings are made with soft brass. Any dent or mishaping by using pliers etc. can damage not only the casings outside, but, worse, the interior, and the piston itself. Every time someone tries to do it yourself, the tech hears the "ka-ching" adding up in his register.
Use warm water, so as not to dealquer your horn, and keep at it. If it doesn't work, take it to a tech.

Mfon Udofia's first season at Georgia Tech went as he expected. "I had my ups and downs as a freshman like most freshmen do so it was pretty much as I expected." For Udofia, the ups included playing in the ACC. "I thought I played pretty well but towards the end things started to slow down and I hit the freshman wall." Facing better competition contributed to Mfon hitting that wall.
Having his minutes cut back also contributed to some of the downs for his first season. "When your minutes are cut back it plays mind tricks with you."
At the end of his first season, Mfon sat down with Coach Paul Hewitt to discuss areas of improvement. "We sat down over the summer and he told me where I needed to improve and I've been working hard all summer on those improvements."
One area that Mfon has been working on is his strength. "I've been in the weight room a lot because the ACC is tough and you need an ACC body to play against the Dukes, the Carolinas, and the Wakes." Udofia feels that he's in good condition and has added seven pounds.
The late season run by the Jackets in the ACC tournament helped prepare the freshmen for the upcoming season. "I don't want to get there my freshman year and not get there my remaining three years." The freshmen know they have to work even harder now to get back there each year. "Making the run in the ACC tournament and playing in the NCAA tournament was fun."
Mfon and his teammates are preparing for the upcoming season knowing that they won't have the inside game they had last season. "We've been doing a lot of running because we lost Gani (Lawal) and Derrick (Favors) so we'll have to do a lot of running and be able to defend."
The team has been playing a lot of pickup over the summer working with the new motion offense and pushing the ball up and down the court. The point guards have been the vocal leaders.
The team will be employing more guards this season and they all know they have to get after it. "When we get tired we know we'll have someone who can come in and keep up the pace," said Mfon." We'll have a pretty good rotation.
The team will have two inside men who sat out last season. Daniel Miller and Kam Hosley will be taking the court for the first time in their Tech careers. "They're looking real good," said Mfon. "Kam is coming back from the ACL and he's looking even stronger than before and Daniel sitting out has helped him because he's gotten tougher."
In Mfon's eyes, Kam has been the biggest surprise thus far. "He's been working real hard." Freshman Jason Morris has also fit in well with the team. "He has great size and he can defend." Mfon has advised Morris to stay focused because it's a long season and every game counts.
Mfon and his teammates have been working on a vigorous summer conditioning program. The players got a taste of success in the ACC tournament last season and are working toward getting back to the NCAA tournament again this season.
