After second baseman Starlin Castro squeezed the line drive for the final out in the Cubs' 4-0 victory Wednesday over the Pirates, teammates danced around the field like the kids they still are.
In the middle of the mania, first baseman Anthony Rizzo lifted Jake Arrieta and put the pitcher over his shoulder for a few steps of frolicking. The man who had carried the Cubs this far was getting a well-deserved ride.
"Three cheers for Jake Arrieta!" a voice in a jubilant Cubs clubhouse yelled.
Three collective claps later, bedlam ensued. Rookie star Kris Bryant sprayed champagne and President Theo Epstein chugged it as teammates hugged and music blared. The pleasure...

Haifa Wehbi [1] has chosen to release her "Ba'oulak Ai Ya Aam" (I Tell You What, People) song on YouTube as the cover single to her new album. She sees it as the most original song in her upcoming album, to be released within days.
Haifa expressed her own vote for "Ba'oulak Ai Ya Aam" composed by singer and composer Said Fares in a completely distinct way. It was penned by poet Haitham Shaaban and musically distributed by Hadi Sharara [2].
Meanwhile, Haifa has wrapped up a photo shoot session that, according to Ana Zahra [3] website, will cause a huge media buzz as Haifa is planning a striking appearance with a new look [4] touted "Miss Universe" for her Album Launch party. Spoilt for choice, Haifa chose more than 8 dresses [5]from the 2013 new collection of the famous Lebanese designer Tony Yacoub [6]. This collection was a labor of love for the designer and its unveiling date was even postponed to give Haifa the time to choose whatever she fancied out of the closet to guarantee her spectacular and exclusive look.
Haifa, who filmed a short clip with Rotana [7] to be aired in the album launch party, for a change avoided the 'busy' OTT (over the top) look favored in the Arab arena, and chose instead a style that could be described as more simple and untraditional.
Share your thoughts on Haifa's new looks and new music here!

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.089 Tuesday, 6 March 2012
Date: March 6, 2012 12:56:21 AM EST
Subject: Laertes, the Superior Fencer?
Has anyone here seen a production or read an interpretation of Hamlet that depicts Laertes as the clearly superior swordsman in the final scene, with the reason for Hamlet's success in the first three bouts being that Laertes, knowing his sword is unbated and envenomed, can't quite bring himself to stab Hamlet?

hiya im 26 and since i had my little girl i always wanted to have breast implants. i had them done on the 27 of march, i was surprised how fast the whole procedure was done, i was in and out of the clinic, the operation took 1hour,and i was back at the hotel that same evening only with strong painkillers,even knowing that my friend was with me i feelt very scared in pain and lonely.
i didnt have no medical suport after my op.. plus on my consultation i told my surgerion i wanted to go to a DD size, and maximo of 650cc , for my surprise when i wake up i had 750cc, i felt even worst knowing that the surgerion done something against my wishes... anyway the recovery was goinging well till the 9th of april, i've been rushed in to hospital in severe pain on my righgt breast and cheast, i had a infection, i've been put on antibiotics for the first twoo days, but the infection started to spread in to my back and ribs, so on the 13th i had my right implant taking out.. now i have to wait up to 4month for my breast to ill and for me to put the new implant.
My problem is i dont know if i can go through all this again, i didnt like the way the clinic treated me, the size and look of my implant, i asked my surgion if it was possible to take my left implant out so i could go to a small size and to put both of my breast at the same time because now i'm walking with a EE left breast and an A on my right breast, but he told me that it was best to wait, leave my left breast in, so they only had to work on my right.... at the moment i feel revoulting, a shame of my body and scared.
i dont leave my house and i dont know what to do, i want to take my other implant out so i can feel more human, more normal.. people say risc of infection is 1 in 1000 well i was that 1, and i regret the whole procedure ..

Log Into My Verizon and make sure that you are Subscribed to the Personal Hotspot. Please note that if you are still on an Unlimited Data Plan for $29.99 like I am, it does NOT include the Personal Hotspot Feature, you can still keep your Unlimited Data Plan and get 2 GB's of Data for the Personal Hot Spot for $20 a Month, but keep in mind that if you go over that 2 GB Limit, it is $20 for each GB that you go over (unlike the $10 GB Penalty for Tiered Plans). To add the 2 GB Hot Spot for Unlimited Data Plans, click on Change Features, and add the Personal Hot Spot for $20, Otherwise if You are on a Tiered Plan click Change Plan and select the 4 GB Plan, the 8GB Plan or the 12 GB Plan (which is $100 a Month, sorry but I don't know the price of the other two plans). :-)

Call *611 is the easiest to add it.
3. Re: Set up personal hotspotKEV815PAN Apr 6, 2012 7:28 PM (in response to gina7239)
For me just clicking a few buttons on My Verizon was better than calling Verizon and waiting for a Customer Service Rep. to answer my call, then again I am a Computer Nerd who prefers to do everything Online so it was probably easier for me than most people to do it online, just to let you know I even recently Activated my new 4G LTE Verizon Wireless 551L USB Modem Online! :-)
4. Re: Set up personal hotspotgina7239 Apr 7, 2012 12:44 PM (in response to KEV815PAN)
When I was changeing features to add hotspot I never found it so I called.
5. Re: Set up personal hotspotKEV815PAN Apr 7, 2012 1:33 PM (in response to gina7239)
I was wrong about one minor detail: the Tiered Plans are 4 GB, 7 GB, and 12 GB, not 4 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB.
6. Re: Set up personal hotspotgina7239 Apr 7, 2012 1:53 PM (in response to KEV815PAN)
But the good thing is if you only use primarily hotspot or primarily reg data it's combIned. And it's I think $10 per gig over.

"For me just clicking a few buttons on My Verizon was better than calling Verizon"
Will you share the buttons you clicked? If you did, that would actually answer the initial question posted by kirill2485 , which so far - no one has done.
I've been clicking around and googling everywhere and I can't figure it out.
I am looking to "enable" personal hotspot on my iPhone 4S from the Verizon website. I am not looking to set it up on my iPhone - that's easy and is not my problem. Please see the original discussion question, which is very clear.
And I'm very sorry, but it's frustrating when people declare their computer wizardry, but then post irrelevant answers to the problem. If it's so easy to click a few buttons, then what are they?

Breadfruit in Downtown Phoenix to Celebrate Fifth Anniversary on May 16
Appleton rum scallops from The Breadfruit in Phoenix
New Times archives
We kind of can't believe it's already been half a decade since the Jamacian restaurant The Breadfruit opened in downtown Phoenix.
See also: - Cheuvront Restaurant in Phoenix to Close at the End of May - Dwayne Allen of Rum Bar Gives a Tasty Tutorial on Rum
To thank customers for the years of loyal business -- because it's not always easy to be a business owner downtown -- they're having a celebration on May 16.
The anniversary celebration on Thursday, May 16 will include a five-course dinner with each course priced at just $5. There will also be $5 punch bowl specials and a complimentary rum tasting.
Of course, it wouldn't be a real party if they didn't also have reggae music, prizes and giveaways. A portion of the proceeds from the night will go to Roosevelt Row CDC, the nonprofit organization that advocates for the arts and small businesses of downtown.

To survey a man completely, never wake him up,
just lightly tap the right angles, efface the snow heaps
and meander the sweaty back alleys.
If you tweak the alfalfa beneath his dungarees it may provide
a pitted scoring
of obsidian, upon which you too could build this dark place
for sitting down, high walled but for you alone lowered,
bloody to let the rain in;
wildflowers, scented evenings of your own
tender fingerings, or some tessellating earrings.
Dress him in vultures and hillbillies,
an old man with a cane, or even a young man.
Dwell inside this man as a teenager.
Oh the gestures that sometimes inform us, and oh the forms a drawbridge
can take,
just before a moat is risen.
Under the unobserving flutterings of a man's eyelashes,
the nightly raisings
of his lunacy-inducing eyebrows,
moisten lovingly the membranes
with cocoa butter or some other lubricant.
Mount the ladder at the backdoor of a staccato-based plaza
erected largely for political killings. There the shadows will be
of two fuzzy stones collected inside a fragile scaffolding. These hang
below an acutely timid sparrow that turns upside down some nights,
while the rest of the world sleepwalks, tethered to a Selle Français.
See if you can identify the jumper
in this picture that resembles mine own dark-eyed,
hazel-haired self,
for whom entry equaled agony.
In the depths of a man's body
a woman rarely imagines herself,
signing in, waiting for affordable housing,
waiting for the lion's tail and fluff to fall off
and form into this delicate veined child's hand
that extends from the time of your girlhood,
when inside you there remained an aversion
to engorged reptilians—
this idea of marrying but remaining vivid—
The little table, wooden, yes, but fitted
with sustaining verbiage, casserole dishes and chickens
prepared by him who leans above the kitchen,
allowing suds to drip softly from his skinny forearms,
down onto the linoleum, which,
although it's been peeled away and painfully absent
all the days of your life, now somehow shines
like the mothering
and tenderness most men never easily utter,
though their rooms open too, onto pavilions
wider than a ranchman's Cadillac,
who never believed you could enter him also,
if you cocked your head distractedly to the left,
and looked furtively into his pupils before whacking.
A layer of warmth under my body
keeps me fat. Glimpses of the future
touched by techno-waves
grind the sofa of my home town.
As a child, I built shopping centers,
listened to commas and pronouns. A newborn lady
smudged the nature of relationships.
Between condoms, municipal whale towers
choked. Imagine pulling
a revolver on television. Once, I owned a collection
of beautiful men on postcards.
During orgasm each one's toes pressed together,
like cigarettes. The syrupy ones lived
outside quotation marks.
Don't freak, but my Tractor is crying,
and then this song came on.
You called me from jail or somewhere else
in the country. I couldn't answer back.
My swim trunks filled with coriander
while the sandbar over the counter
with its touchtone keypad adhered to me—
Strike and reverse that, the sea
rubbed my body. Wichita never
seemed so lonely as each year we swam past,
planning our community farmers' center,
toy that consoles. Nissans all look
alike to me. Glad your brother died
in an abortion, and that no tire
on this entire strip mall ever turns.

Nation & World Briefs
Israeli Mystic Was 104, 106 or 112
To many Jews, he was the celebrity of the century, a mystic with mystique.
No one knows exactly the age of Rabbi Yitzhak Kadouri, who died of pneumonia late last month. The official statements of the Israeli religious party Shas, for which he served as charismatic figurehead and sage, said he was 106 years old. But other accounts spoke of 104 or 112.
Neither was it precisely possible to quantify Kadouri's contribution to the Orthodox canon. Unlike other leading rabbis, he left no great writings and never specialized in founding yeshivot.
Yet, close to a quarter-million mourners, including Israel's chief rabbis and political notables, attended Kadouri's funeral in Jerusalem on Sunday, Jan. 29, bringing the capital to a halt as his coffin was borne through the streets.
Israeli President Moshe Katsav eulogized him as "one of the outstanding leaders of the Jewish people in the past generations."
Kadouri was the first name in kabbalah — a discipline which, almost by definition, fits those who seem more ethereal than others.
Well before the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles began recruiting superstars like Madonna, well before kabbalah was well known outside the secretive circles of Jewish mystics, Kadouri was studying it, prognosticating and even concocting his own talismans.
The Iraqi-born rabbi was an icon to Sephardic Jews, who attributed special powers to even the most mundane items — such as chairs and food — that he touched. Kadouri contributed to this image with a lifestyle at once virile and ascetic. A resident of Jerusalem's impoverished Bukhari Quarter for most of his life, he chain-smoked cheap cigarettes with little apparent impact on his health, and was married twice — the second time when in his 90s, to a woman half his age.
Katsav called him "a symbol and example to all of the repudiation of materialism."
His influence was important to the hordes of politicians who would seek Kadouri's counsel, especially around election time. In 1996, Shas leader Aryeh Deri persuaded Kadouri to endorse the party, and it went on to major gains in the Knesset.
Kadouri's support also helped Benjamin Netanyahu, a Shas ally, win the premiership in 1997.
"What interested him was that the religious parties would help the people of Israel and the Torah world," Deri said.
Israel Continues PA Contacts
Israel's acting prime minister said ties to the Palestinian Authority would continue as long as it is not led by Hamas. Ehud Olmert said the monthly transfers of taxes levied on behalf of the Palestinians by Israel would continue, but on a case-by-case basis, as long as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas remains independent of Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group that won parliamentary elections last month. Addressing a Tel Aviv economic conference, Olmert said that withholding the tax transfers, which he had considered, would only "play into the hands of the extremists."
The Palestinians have several weeks to form a new Palestinian Authority government. Abbas has tried to assuage international concerns by proposing that he keep control of security forces even if Hamas ministers are appointed.
Gaza Farmers to Get Retraining
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem plans to retrain evacuated Gaza Strip settlement farmers. The university announced this week that around 100 farmers evacuated from Gaza would receive advanced training at its Faculty of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Quality Sciences. The government-funded studies begin March 5 and will last between six and 24 months. The project is intended to give the evacuees high-level professional training and help them return to work and re-establish farms.
Settlements Are Really Expensive
Settlements have cost Israelis more than $14 billion, not counting military expenditures, an independent Israeli study said. The study, released last Friday by the Research Institute for Economic and Social Affairs, also said the government spends twice as much on settlements as it does on local authorities inside Israel. The institute, funded by a German group that backs Israel-Arab dialogue, took 18 months to calculate the costs of four decades of settlement in areas claimed by the Palestinians. The government refused to provide assistance. There are about 250,000 settlers now living in the West Bank.
New Genealogical Center Opens
An institute devoted to Jewish genealogical research and study opened this week in Jerusalem. Described as the only one of its kind in the Jewish world, the International Institute for Jewish Genealogy at the Jewish National and University Library, is headed by Yosef Lamdan, a former Israeli ambassador to the Vatican. According to Lamdan, the institute will focus on teaching, research and collaborative projects of practical benefit to family historians. Jewish genealogy has gained immense popularity across the Jewish world over the last two decades, and especially since the rise of the Internet.
Emma Thompson Backs Anne Frank Site
Actress Emma Thompson helped launch a new Web site connected to the Anne Frank museum. Thompson placed her name on a leaf at the Amsterdam museum last week. Visitors to the Web site www.annefranktree.com can attach a story or a poem about what Anne Frank means to them to a cyber "chestnut tree," a replica of the tree that sat outside her attic.

Bertin, R.J.V. and Berthoz, A. (2004) Visuo-vestibular interaction in the reconstruction of travelled trajectories. [Journal (Paginated)]
This is the latest version of this eprint.
Full text available as:
We recently published a study of the reconstruction of passively travelled trajectories from optic flow. Perception was prone to illusions in a number of conditions, and not always veridical in the others. Part of the illusionary reconstructed trajectories could be explained by assuming that subjects base their reconstruction on the ego-motion percept built during the stimulus' initial moments . In the current paper, we test this hypothesis using a novel paradigm: if the final reconstruction is governed by the initial percept, providing additional, extra-retinal information that modifies the initial percept should predictably alter the final reconstruction. The extra-retinal stimulus was tuned to supplement the information that was under-represented or ambiguous in the optic flow: the subjects were physically displaced or rotated at the onset of the visual stimulus. A highly asymmetric velocity profile (high acceleration, very low deceleration) was used. Subjects were required to guide an input device (in the form of a model vehicle; we measured position and orientation) along the perceived trajectory. We show for the first time that a vestibular stimulus of short duration can influence the perception of a much longer lasting visual stimulus. Perception of the ego-motion translation component in the visual stimulus was improved by a linear physical displacement: perception of the ego-motion rotation component by a physical rotation. This led to a more veridical reconstruction in some conditions, but to a less veridical reconstruction in other conditions.

The third and just a good as ever
I am a huge fan of the Splinter Cell series and this doesn't let me down. The game continues the great stealth action with some added twists like using a knife and a palm to the jaw of unsuspecting adversaries. I love most all aspects of the game except the map in the opsat. For being a special operator who has a built in wireless receiver in his head piece you would think he would get some GPS maps or at least a bit more intelligence. Even with that SC III won't let ya down if you like the rush of sneaking by enemies or hanging from a pipe and reaching down and taking um out from th darkness above. I am not reviewing the multiplayer at this time. However, the single player is worth the price or the game alone so any multiplayer thrils will be an added bonus..

Business And Yoga - A Practice Not A Race April 18, 2012
I just finished the last of 5 days on my yoga DVD and my lack of flexibility is depressing. There are moves on this DVD that I cannot even come close to getting into. The guy in the video will have his legs folded over the top of each other, both knees down, lean his entire body over his legs and stretch his arms out in front. When I attempt this move, I have both my knees off the ground and I'm leaning BACK at a 45 degree angle due to tightness in my hips. However, my digital yoga instructor just keeps telling me to "not force it", "listen to your body" and "allow your breath to go into the body". This is against my style of doing things but I have to say the results feel great. I'll be in a stretch and be pushing harder to get a little more out of it when the above mantas come out of the speakers. I relax, breathe and let go and I will feel a release deep in the muscle that will allow me to stretch even more. Coming from a background of football/basketball/baseball the concept of slow incremental gains was not preached. We were told to constantly push ourselves for greater gains to continually maintain our starting position. Evaluating the strategy I implemented for my first 3 1/2 years in business it's apparent that I was simply trying power my way into being successful as opposed to developing my resources to create the perfect conditions for success to proliferate. I was hiring SEO consultants @ 2500 per month because I wanted to rank number one... now. The best explanation is I was the single guy at the bar that was trying too hard to impress the girl (Google). I was trying to show the reasons why she should like me (SEO firms building backlinks from other sites) instead of just being cool with her and asking her what her interests are and what she was into (creating content that will naturally attract links). Today, my business philosophy changed. I'm going to stop trying to force the issue with Google and focus on creating content that is valuable to others on topics I'm interested in. I will build out my community slowly and try to gain one reader at a time to join me in my practice of business.

Spacious, practical and very elegantly designed flats. Completely equipped with first class kitchen utensils, glass and crockery. Really nice spa bath with rain forrest shower and steam bath. Magnificent view from the living room panorama window. Good parking facilities for your car. Good restaurants nearby. That the construction of the complex was not yet completely finalized. The lack of a balcony to enjoy the fantastic surroundings.
The facility was very nice, a great value for the money and a perfect location.
It was brilliant!!!
The staff was friendly and efficient. The room, although quite old, was clean and bed very comfortable. My room was very loud and overlooking the parking lot/offices where lights were on all night. I suppose this was why it was the last room available and for a reasonable price.
The wanderful Spa area with different saunas, Turkish bath, swimming pool, water massages, gym. Good breakfast. The kind hotel's staff. Nothing.
This hotel is gorgeous. Views staggering! Room lovely. Breakfast superb! We ate in the restuarant one night and the meal was fabulous!
Staff were very good and food was excellent. Was not obvious from website that could not walk to cablecar and not that easy to get a bus to the bergstation.

Adult standard drip rate charts are available for vasoactive drugs, anticoagulants, and other medications (amiodarone, argatroban, bivalirudin, diltiazem, dopamine, dobutamine, epinephrine, esmolol, fenolodopam, heparin, integrilin, insulin, isoproterenol, labetalol, milrinone, nesiritide, nitroglycerine, nitroprusside, norepinephrine, phenylephrine, procainamide, and propofol). The purpose of the infusion rate dosing tools are to prevent medication errors, standardized concentrations, and assist the nurse taking care of the patient.
Selection of standard concentrations was achieved by preparing Excel spreadsheets for the commonly order concentrations of each medication. The charts showed the infusion rate for a wide range of patient weights at normal dosing ranges. The spreadsheets were presented to the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and standard concentrations were selected that would meet the needs of most patients, including patients in critical care areas and fluid restricted patients. This process helps minimizing waste due to concentration changes and decreases the chance of medication errors by limiting the number of concentrations in daily use. In the event a patient's needs can not be met by the standard concentration a nonstandard concentration may be ordered.
Copies of drip rate charts (Excel spreadsheets) may be obtained by contacting Marshall Pierce. Note adobe files may be saved to your own computer for later use. The Excel spreadsheets will only be offered for a fee in a password protected version that prevents modification of the files. It you have formatting or other changes that you would like I will modify the originals.

Being prepared and professional will give you the best chance of leaving the courtroom with a favorable outcome.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 17, 2014
Dax Jones, primary attorney of The Jones Law Firm, has released a guide detailing the correct behavior during court proceedings following a speeding ticket. Dax Jones, having years of courtroom experience, knows the in's and out's of courtroom etiquette.
"Being prepared and professional will give you the best chance of leaving the courtroom with a favorable outcome." Dax states, firmly.
His first advice is to prepare what your have to say beforehand. "Winging it," he says, "never works well. A judge responds best to a well-prepared explanation that doesn't waste his time."
In addition to preparing yourself, Dax Jones' article also reminds people to dress nicely. A well-groomed appearance goes a long way in reassuring the court of your respect for them, the law, and yourself.
The blog post also explains that ,while presenting a defense, it is important to phrase sentences that don't indicate guilt. For example, individuals should not state that they were driving 67mph in a 65mph zone. This will be less effective than saying that they were travelling at a speed safe for the conditions and moving at the same speed as the traffic around them.
It is important too, Dax Jones affirms, not to give excuses to the court. This will diminish their inclination to provide a favorable outcome. Excuses such as ignorance of the speed limit, the officer was targeting without cause, and sob stories will not ingratiate individuals with the judge.
The Jones Firm article's parting advice is, "Honesty, clarity, and professionalism are the keys to a favorable outcome of a speeding ticket hearing. Prepare beforehand and conduct yourself well during the trial, and your chances of a good result increase dramatically."

Roughly a year ago, I implemented currency conversion logic in multidimensional cubes using measure expressions (as well as using the Leaves function in MDX). I documented the implementation in a few blog posts:
I have now also implemented currency conversion in a tabular cube using DAX. This blog post covers the implementation in DAX as well as some of the performance issues I encountered and how I resolved them.
Data Model Overview
The tables required for currency conversion in the tabular cube are the same as those in multidimensional.
The diagram below shows the relationships between these tables (ignoring target currency in this tabular cube implementation).
The following is a screen shot of the tabular cube table relationships:
The tables relevant to the currency conversion are Sales, GL Date, Currency Conversion Rate, Currency Code (Source Currency), Currency Conversion Rate Type. The tables grayed out are hidden in end-user client tools.
Currency Conversion Implementation Using DAX
The following measure was added to the Sales table of the tabular model to perform the currency conversion:
Sales Amount USD:=SUMX(CROSSJOIN('Currency Code','Currency Conversion Rate Type','GL Date'),CALCULATE(VALUES('Currency Conversion Rate'[CurrencyRateOv]) * SUM('Sales'[SalesAmountLocal])))
I learned from Marco Russo's PASS Summit presentation (Inside DAX Query Plans) that this formula involves a single scan of a temporary table (single SUMX). The SUMX over a CROSSJOIN is resolved as a single VertiPaq scan using CallbackDataID to compute the multiplication.
When I connected to the cube in Excel and sliced the measure by an attribute with a small number of distinct values, the performance was very good; but, when I selected an attribute with a larger number of distinct values (greater than 5000), the measure never returned a value.
I improved the performance by creating a Calculated Column in the Sales table to store the exchange rate for each transaction (row). It's important to note that Calculated Column values are calculated during processing and not 'on-the-fly' like measures.
The DAX formula for the 'ConversionRate' calculated column is shown below:
=LOOKUPVALUE('Currency Conversion Rate'[CurrencyRateOv], 'Currency Conversion Rate'[DateKey], Sales[GlDateKey], 'Currency Conversion Rate'[FromCurrencyKey], Sales[CurrencyCodeKey], 'Currency Conversion Rate'[CurrencyRateTypeKey], 2)
LOOKUPVALUE performs a lookup of the conversion rate for the transaction based on the GL Date (GlDateKey), Source Currency (CurrencyCodeKey), and the Currency Rate Type (CurrencyRateTypeKey).
The measure to perform the actual currency conversion using the ConversionRate calculated column is:
Sales Amount USD:=SUMX('Sales','Sales'[SalesAmountLocal] * 'Sales'[ConversionRate])
When I connected to the cube in Excel and sliced the measure by an attribute with 7000+ distinct values, the performance was very good.
Although I was disappointed that I was unable to implement this calculation as a measure without the need for a calculated column; I am happy that this alternate implementation delivers excellent performance for the end-users.

Damn that DMZ
# Greeting
Hello friends, I am going for the humbling experience of asking for some
I have monowall set up on a Nokia device with 3NICs. LAN and WAN are set up
fine but as the title implies, I am having problems with setting up the DMZ.
I have followed the monowall tutorial to a tee, and am not having any luck.
I have the DMZ interface set up, and DHCP works on the interface. From a
client on the DMZ network I can ping the GW (the ip addy of the interface)
and I can nslookup (through monowall doing forwarding). This is as far as I
can get. I have gone so far as to set all the firewall rules to allow all
(not for long) and still I get nothing. Dose anyone have any ideas, am I
missing a step or something obvious? Is there any correlation with the odd
mac addy I get for the DMZ interface? Its all f's.
#Additional info
I have included some screen shots if it helps any at:

2004 330CI Radio Problem
Hey everyone I came across your forum while looking for some help with my 04 330CI cont. The navigation screen recently started scrolling while the radio was playing. Subsequently the screen went blank but I still had the radio for a couple of days and was able to switch channels and control volume with the steering wheel. Well now everything has stopped working. I've been researching and ending up buying a new MKIV DVD drive after a repair shop told me that was the issue. I plugged up the new DVD drive today and nothing happened still the same issue. I have no radio, no navigation no nothing. Any suggestions would be helpful.

By Bob Minzesheimer, USA TODAY
NEW YORK The Marine Corps' high-and-tight haircut that gave Anthony Swofford the title of his best-selling memoir, Jarhead, is long gone. His look now is gelled and spiky, with a beard and untucked shirt.
Jarhead, a grunt's iconoclastic memoir of the Gulf War, was a best seller in 2003 even before the 2005 movie, in which Jake Gyllenhaal played Swofford. It prompted magazines to ask Swofford to go to Iraq as a reporter. The former Marine sniper declined.
EXCERPT: Read an excerpt from Exit A
"I didn't want to go into a war zone with a pen and paper," Swofford says over lunch in Manhattan, where he lives. "I didn't want to go into a war zone at all."
It's not a sense of been-there, done-that. Swofford knows that Iraq, which he calls a "colossal debacle," is more complex than his brief combat in 1991, which ended in the sands of Kuwait amid burnt Iraqi corpses.
But rather than report on a new war, he had a novel to write about the aftermath of an old war. Fiction remains his first and enduring love — even if the critical and commercial success of Jarhead remains a hard act to follow.
Swofford's debut novel, Exit A (Scribner, $25), will be published Tuesday. It's a dark love story about two military dependents. It begins at and around a U.S. Air Force base in Japan at the end of the Cold War.
It deals with the aftermath of Vietnam and what Swofford calls the "domestic victims" of any war: the children and spouses of soldiers. And it's about the messy cultural collision between a foreign country and the muscular U.S. military, which Swofford sees as an "American subculture."
That kind of collision, he says, "seems important at this moment" because of the war in Iraq. "It's an undertold story, at least in literature." Military life, he says, is "rather foreign in New York or San Francisco literary circles."
At 36, Swofford looks and sounds more like a professor (he has taught writing at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore.) than the gung-ho Marine he once was. He's polite and reserved, with no trace of the profanities that litter his memoir.
He says he wanted his novel to be different. Jarhead "was very male, very profane and quite violent." He wanted "something softer, more of the domestic side of the world that I knew so well as the son of a military man."
The genesis of a writer
A war baby, Swofford was conceived in the Honolulu Hilton while his father was on his first R&R leave from the Vietnam War.
He grew up on Air Force bases in Japan, California and Ohio, and says he became a loner who made "sense of the world through books." At 14, he read and loved John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, about misfits in Monterey, Calif.
When his family visited the actual Cannery Row, he was disappointed. It had been made safe for tourists: "It sold cotton candy. The book was much more vivid, interesting and dangerous." He started dreaming of becoming a writer.
But first came the Marines. Swofford enlisted at 18. As he writes in Jarhead, a recruiter gleefully reminisced about prostitutes in foreign lands and assured him, "You'll be a fine killer."
He went to war with an M-16 rifle and copies of Homer's The Iliad and Camus' The Stranger. After four years and a promotion to corporal, he was ready to move on, forget the war, go to college and become a writer.
A memoir was not in his plans, but "content dictates form." At 30, after studying at the prestigious Iowa Writers' Workshop, he started Jarhead to help understand the 20-year-old he had been, the soldier who considered himself "less of a Marine and even less of a man for not having killed while at combat."
Swofford was nearly killed, both by the enemy and friendly fire. As a sniper, he had Iraqis in his rifle sights but was called off by a captain. At the time, Swofford was angry and resentful. Now he's thankful. He says he doesn't regret joining the Marines or leaving. "Without that, I'd be a different writer. I'm not sure how, but different." He's more at ease talking about his writing than himself.
Asked whether he has a tattoo, which figures in the plot of his novel, he smiles and says, "I can't answer that." He's divorced, like one of his main characters, and he says the experience influenced his novel, but he doesn't go into details.
Exit A (the title comes from a subway stop on the way to Tokyo) is not autobiographical, he says, except in an "emotional" and "spiritual" sense, "but that can be said of any novel."
The rebellious and beautiful girl in his novel, named Virginia Sachiko Kindwall, is a hafu, half-American, half-Japanese. Her father is a general; her mother died during childbirth. Her Japanese middle name means "happy child," which she is not. It's also the name of Swofford's college girlfriend, Sachiko Tamura. They remain friends and she helped with his research, but mostly, he says, "I made it up."
He prefers to write fiction: "In a memoir, you know the beginning and end of the story you've chosen to tell. With a novel it's a much blanker page. You try to think like a 17-year-old girl who's half-Japanese, half-American, or a 50-year-old general, and make it vivid. A novelist has much more freedom."
The idea for the novel began with a family photo taken at an Air Force base in Japan about 30 years ago. It shows the Swoffords on their manicured front lawn, winners of the base's "yard of the year" award.
"It looks so domestic, and yet I knew that the story was so much bigger and complicated," he says. "Not far from that lawn there were weapons and planes," ready, as his novel puts it, to "strike North Korea with a rain of bombs."
That base has been closed and turned into a peace park. "It's lovely," Swofford says. "Some would say it's antithetical to everything that's military. Some would say peace is the aim of the military."
To him, it's not an either/or: "The road to peace through use of the military is bloody and corpse-filled and takes a long, long while."
Swofford says it's not in his nature to be a political activist, "but if asked, I comment."
In 2003, when Jarhead was published just as the war in Iraq began, he warned, "The most problematic times will come after combat." Now, he says, "there's a lot of blame to go around," including the U.S. generals who failed to publicly voice misgivings until after they retired.
"I am not a strategist," he says, and he hopes that "this is not Vietnam, for the sake of the country and the military." He says that "something may be salvageable. Victory is not the word. Maybe some level of repair can be done to Iraqi society."
He laments that most of the 3,000 and counting U.S. war dead are "poor kids," the products of a "ghettoized military." But he sees no sign of a return to the draft: "The generals don't want angry kids who've been ripped out of college. They want kids like I was, who at 14 (after a suicide bomber killed 220 Marines in Lebanon) had my mother iron a Marine insignia on my T-shirt."
Right place, right time
The Iraq war boosted interest in Jarhead, which critics ranked with Vietnam classics such as Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried and Michael Herr's Dispatches. But had it been published in 2000, he says, "more people would have been worried about the dot-com bust. I was fortunate to become part of a national discussion."
The 2005 movie also boosted book sales (900,000 copies in print, including movie tie-in paperbacks). Swofford remembers his first screening and "how bizarre it was to see this character up on the screen being called Swofford … but soon I was watching it as a writer to see what they had done to my book." He enthusiastically approved.
He'd love to see Exit A become a movie. He may try to write the screenplay and even imagines the casting (Sean Penn as the troubled general) but for now is in the grip of writing another novel.
It, too, has a military backdrop, about two brothers: a successful artist in New York and a Marine officer just back from Iraq. (Swofford's brother, Jeff, died in 1998 of lymphoma at 35 after 12 years in the Army.)
As for his post-Jarhead second act, Swofford knows Exit A will attract more attention and higher expectations because of his memoir. But when it came to the writing, "It was just me, alone in a room. That doesn't change."
The pre-publication reviews have been respectful but mixed.
Kirkus calls it "a well-rounded tale (that) will surprise readers of Swofford's tough-as-nails memoir." But Booklist says "Swofford is much better at rending unfamiliar worlds (military bases, criminal life) than familiar ones (college campuses, relationships)."
His editor, Colin Harrison, a novelist himself who also worked on Jarhead, says, "If people expect Jarhead Redux, that would be unfortunate. This is a novel doing its own thing and should be judged on its own terms and own merits."
Swofford recalls a joint appearance in Portland, Ore., with Barry Lopez, the acclaimed nature writer. Lopez has written 17 books, but is remembered by many for 1978's Of Wolves and Men, and is often asked, "Aren't you the wolf guy?"
Lopez advised Swofford that when he's asked, "Aren't you the Jarhead guy?" to "smile, say yes, then add, 'But I have this new book out …' "

Mormon Missionaries From Utah Thwart Burglars in Arizona
Two LDS missionaries, from Utah, doubled as crimefighters this week, outside their home in Mesa, Arizona.
Missionary Corey Brown says he and his companion observed a man removing laptops and jewelry from their neighbors' house.
As they followed the suspect to his car, on foot, the missionaries called 9-1-1 -- so the police weren't far behind.
The neigbors got all their possessions back, before they even knew it was gone.
Brown says the suspect may have mistaken him for a detective, because he was still dressed in his shirt and tie.

Lea Michele: Cory Has Made My Life So Incredible
By JACKIE WILLIS
July 24, 2013
Just one month prior to the tragic and sudden death of Cory Monteith, the actor's Glee girlfriend Lea Michele was gushing over him in an interview with Marie Claire Mexico.
"It's more interesting having a relationship with someone you work with because we get more attention because we play boyfriend and girlfriend on the show and we are also in real life," Michele, 26, said of her on and off-screen boyfriend (via Pop Sugar). "But he is the best person I know, he has made my life so incredible, and I am so thankful for him and not only to have him as a partner but also as a co-worker."
What an awesome shoot today! Such a pleasure gracing the cover of one of my fav mags! So excited for you guys to see! Xo— Lea Michele (@msleamichele) June 8, 2013
The actress continued, "It is important to have someone that supports you and encourage you, someone that makes you feel that you are unstoppable, that you can do anything in the world because you have him.
Monteith, who passed away on July 13, 2013 at the age of 31, was present during Michele's photo shoot with Marie Claire Mexico. The magazine's editor in chief Ariadne Grant described the day, recalling, "Cory showed up in great spirits and was very nice to everybody there; he even took pictures with whoever asked for it.

Desert Vista is looking for a girls soccer coach after Paul Manoogian stepped down once the Thunder were ousted from the Class 5A Division I semifinals.
Manoogian said he knew before the season started that it was fifth and final season, but decided to keep it to himself.
"I didn't want to make it about me," he said. "We had a good team and I don't think it would have served as motivation or a one more time around the league type thing."
Desert Vista athletic director T.J. Snyder said the search for a replacement is ongoing.
Manoogian guided the Thunder to two state final appearances, two more semifinal appearances and the only regret might the one year (2008) that the postseason run wasn't extended.
"That was probably our most talented team, but we ran into a team of destiny in Mountain Pointe," he said, referring to the Pride team that won state as an 11th seed, including a win over DV in the first round.
Manoogian's reason for stepping down simply came down to time. He is the men's and women's soccer coach at Mesa Community College, the men's and women's golf coach at Gateway Community College and a club soccer coach with the Gilbert Soccer Club.
"It is reaching the point in my life where time is precious," he said.
Manoogian said he was blessed with talented players during his time at Desert Vista and that is what he will remember most.
"We had a lot of good players," he said. "We had 12 players receive Division I scholarships. We were deep and talented. We had some great captains from Cara Miller to Julia Waterhouse and KK Tupponce and so many in between.
"It was a pretty good run."

Cardinal O'Malley presents the 2012 Bishop James Augustine Healy Award to Anthony S. Owens of Roxbury. Pilot photo/Christopher S. Pineo
RANDOLPH -- Friends and supporters of the archdiocese's Office for Black Catholics gathered for their annual Bishop Healy Award Dinner Nov. 3 at The Lantana in Randolph.
The theme for the evening was "Be doers of the word, not hearers only," drawn from the Letter of James 1:22.
"Every year the Bishop Healy Award dinner gives us the wonderful opportunity to recognize some fine people within our community who exemplify qualities that we hold in mind such as strength in leadership, such as strong faith, and a wonderful identity as a Catholic. This year we truly are celebrating two people who are 'doers of the work,'" director of the Office of Black Catholics Lorna DesRoses said, before Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley presented the awards.
The Bishop James Augustine Healy Award is given in honor of the legacy of the first recognized black bishop in the U.S. and is presented to an individual who has exemplified strong, effective leadership and service within the Black Catholic community.
The recipient of the 2012 Bishop Healy Award was Anthony S. Owens.
Owens is a member of St. Mary of the Angels Parish in Roxbury, where he served as a member of the parish council, helped other parishioners create a food pantry, and established a relationship between the church and the Boston Symphony Orchestra -- which linked the church and communities through classical music.

TOWSON, Md. – Graduate student Christian Pastirik scored a game-high three goals, including the eventual game-winning goal in the third quarter, and added an assist as the Tigers (2-5, 1-0) snapped a two-game losing streak with a 9-7 victory over the University of Delaware (5-5, 0-1) in the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams at Johnny Unitas® Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
With the win, the Tigers have now won their conference opener in seven of the last nine years and have beaten the Blue Hens three straight times.
"We're 1-0 in the conference," Towson Coach Tony Seaman said. "Everything we worked on paid off today. We handled the ground balls well and did a good job of holding the ball late at the end of the game."
The Tigers took a quick 2-0 lead in the opening four minutes as Pastirik and senior midfielder Will Harrington scored back-to-back goals.
After junior midfielder John Austin scored with 7:26 left to narrow the Blue Hens' deficit to 2-1, junior midfielder Ben Ganley tallied his first goal of the season to give Towson a 3-1 advantage with 6:07 left in the first quarter.
But, the Blue Hens rallied two goals late in the first quarter to even the score at 3-3 as senior midfielder Martin Cahill and senior attackman Curtis Dickson scored past junior goalkeeper Travis Love.
Pastirik gave the Tigers a 4-3 lead in the opening minutes of the second quarter with his second goal of the game, an unassisted marker past junior goalkeeper Noah Fossner.
However, Delaware responded by scoring two goals in a 41-second span to take a 5-4 lead with 10:48 remaining in the first half. After senior attackman Andrew Unthank scored to even the score at 4-4, Austin tallied his second goal of the game with an unassisted goal to give the Blue Hens their first lead of the game.
Sophomore midfielder Carl Iacona scored an unassisted goal with 8:05 remaining in the second quarter, tying the game at 5-5 and starting a three-goal run for the Tigers. Junior attackman Tim Stratton followed with an extra-man goal to give Towson a 6-5 lead before freshman attackman Matt Hughes upped the advantage to 7-5 by converting a feed from Ganley.
Trailing by 7-5 to start the second half, the Blue Hens scored two quick goals in a 61-second span to tie the game at 7-7. Dickson scored an extra-man goal just 24 seconds into the third quarter before Cahill added his second goal of the game, scoring off a feed from senior attackman Mark Steverson with 13:59 left.
However, it was the Blue Hens' last goal of the game as the Towson defense held Delaware scoreless for the final 28 minutes, 59 seconds.
Pastirik scored with 2:33 remaining in the third quarter to give Towson an 8-7 lead before Harrington followed with his second goal of the game, an unassisted marker with 3:23 remaining in the fourth quarter.
While Pastirik led the Tigers with three goals and an assist, Harrington added two goals as Towson outshot Delaware by a 36-32 margin. Love contributed 11 saves, including five in the second half, to lead the Tiger defense.
Dickson, Cahill and Austin each scored two goals for the Blue Hens, who matched their season low with seven goals.
"It's a great job when you can hold a team like Delaware to just seven goals," Coach Seaman said. "They have some great shooters and Travis came up big when he had to for us today."
The Tigers will host local rival UMBC on Wednesday night at Unitas Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the Blue Hens will face Hofstra next Saturday at 1 p.m.

Suspended Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi Sues For Job Back
I'll sue!
Suspended Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi will legal action against Governor Scott because the Governor refused to give Pizzi his old job back.
Last week, he was acquitted him of federal bribery and corruption charges.
He then asked the Governor to revoke his suspension order, but Scott said no.
Governor Scott says it's a local issue because Miami Lakes elected a new Mayor after Pizzi was suspended.

Regional Reviews: New Jersey
Also see Bob's review of The Play's the Thing
First things first: I've never been much of a Gilbert and Sullivan fan. Their style of music has always seemed too florid and quaint for me, and the presentations I've seen of their operettas have always been too boring to interest me very much.
Well, there's nothing quaint or boring about Pirates!, the new adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance now running at the Paper Mill Playhouse. Pirates! plays fast and loose with the original operetta and turns it into a breezy, lighthearted and very accessible musical comedy.
Gerry McIntrye, Ed Dixon, Liz McCartney, Andrew Varela,
Barrett Foa and Farah Alvin
As reconceived by director Gordon Greenberg, writer Nell Benjamin and musical supervisor John McDaniel, the setting of Pirates! has been transplanted from England in the late 19th century to the Caribbean in the early 18th century, and the Pirate King has been given a red bandanna, a black vest and a hairdo that makes him resemble a certain Pirate of the Caribbean who is now being seen in movie theaters all over the world. His appearance in the show's first moments hints at what fun the show's creators are having with the conventions of Penzance - but there's more cheekiness to come. The heroine, Mabel, has been transformed into a naturalist who first approaches her would-be lover Frederic with a magnifying glass and a butterfly net. ("Take heart," sing her sisters, "she may be weird/But take heart, and be not afear'd.") And Ruth, Frederic's nursemaid, has been changed into a bawdy wench who is anything but the chaste angel Frederic thinks she is. (While this might seem distasteful, it's actually an improvement on Gilbert and Sullivan's dated depiction of Ruth as an ugly, bitter hag.)
The basic plotline is unchanged: Frederic, noble and trustworthy, falls for Mabel, who in this version is smart and sassy. Blocking the way of true love, though, are the pirates to whom Frederic has been indentured to since childhood, as well as Mabel's father, Major-General Stanley. And one new element has been added: a witch's curse that forces the men to remain pirates unless "You find a maiden pure/Whom you're prepared to marry." The curse subplot improves the show, setting up an ending that is more satisfying than the original.
W.S. Gilbert's book and lyrics have largely been rewritten, and some of the changes are extensive; for instance, the Major-General's song ("I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General ...") retains only its first verse, with two new verses added by Benjamin. McDaniel has given many of Sullivan's tunes slower tempos and lowered keys to help drive the jokes home; there are even calypso versions of "Tarantara" and "A Policeman's Lot," delivered by a ragtag group of island natives who get pressed into service to arrest the pirates. But the lack of reverence for the original text actually fits the tone of this production well. Greenberg's lively direction gives the show a jocular spirit that lets us know that no one is taking any of this "pirate curse" nonsense too seriously. Warren Carlyle's choreography brims with energy, making the most of the limited playing space (an onstage orchestra uses up a lot of room).
Best of all, there's a terrific, ingratiating cast that puts across the material with the right blend of archness and earnestness. Ed Dixon is delightfully hammy as the Major-General, stopping the show not just with the "Modern Major-General" song but with a second patter number, "The Nightmare!" (which is actually lifted from another G&S show, Iolanthe). Barrett Foa is totally winning as the fresh-faced Frederic, and Farah Alvin is a Mabel with backbone, charisma and a gorgeous voice. There are also strong comic turns by Liz McCartney, as a very robust Ruth, and Gerry McIntyre, who makes the most of his limited stage time as the Sergeant. Even the ensemble has its standouts; special notice should be made of the young ladies who play Mabel's sisters, who are, as they admit, "awfully good at smiling vacantly." The only disappointment in the cast is Andrew Varela as the Pirate King, who is rather colorless in a role that calls for flamboyance.
Not every modernization Benjamin has added to Pirates! is an improvement; in particular, there are a series of crude and unnecessary gags - one involving vomit, another involving the word "fornicating" - that unfortunately take this show out of the realm of family entertainment. And there are times when Pirates! can get a little too cute for its own good; it's a relief when the show finally slow down a bit in act two for a serious love duet between Frederic and Mabel.
There are sure to be purists who will object to any changes to an esteemed classic; for those people, there are plenty of versions of the original Pirates of Penzance available in video and audio recordings. But if all you're looking for is to be entertained, head to Paper Mill, where this group of Pirates! will steal your heart.
Pirates! runs through Sunday, July 8, 2007. Ticket prices range from $19 to $68, with student rush tickets available, and may be purchased by calling the box office at 973-376-4343, in person at Brookside Drive in Millburn, or online at www.papermill.org.

This text presents an account of the management of changes in universities new and old in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Recent developments in the system of higher education are described, with particular reference to the change from a binary to a unified system in Australia and the United Kingdom. Changes in states and economies during the 1980s and 1990s are examined in terms of their effects on universities and their management. The interviews - 100 in 20 universities - with academic managers and staff representatives across Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom provide the basis for an analysis of how change is being managed. Henry Miller points out that managerialism and the language and methods of the market are permeating the structure and culture of universities and that this raises questions about what are and should be the purposes of universities and how they should be governed.

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Dozens of Congressmen File for Extension on Financial Disclosure Documents
June 15, 2011 | Instead of today, 76 House representatives will sometime this summer release reports on their stock, bond and mutual fund holdings, as well as investments in real estate, ownership interests in private companies and cash, according to a tally by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Blue Dogs and New Democrats Find Friends on Wall Street
November 17, 2009 | Like the health care reform debate, financial regulation legislation has divided members of the same party, opening a rift between liberal and moderate Democrats. But unlike the health care reform debate, where the moderate Blue Dog Democrats have been rabid in their opposition to a public insurance option, a different group has emerged to voice moderates' concerns over financial regulation -- but both are magnets for cash from the financial sector.
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Congressmen Hear from TARP Recipients Who Funded Their Campaigns
February 10, 2009 | The eight CEOs testifying Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee about how their companies are using billions of dollars in bailout funds may find that the hot seat is merely lukewarm. Nearly every member of the committee received contributions associated with these financial institutions during the 2008 election cycle, for a total of $1.8 million.
2006 Election Analysis: Incumbents Linked to Corruption Lose, but Money Still Wins
November 8, 2006 | While voters in some states are still waiting to see who will represent them in Congress, one thing is certain: Money was a clear winner in the 2006 elections. Equally clear was voters' concern about corruption in Washington; officeholders tied to scandal lost in disproportionate numbers.

It seems everybody has a 'Babe of the Day' or some other gimmick to get you to click on their website. Not that there's anything wrong with that. However, we prefer a little class. American forged steel instead of skin. Well, sometimes a little skin…
The Sexy Tractor of the Day was taken in the Sunshine Foods store in Brandon, SD.
Is this tractor plowing into fresh produce? No, actually its a clever decoration and play structure in Brandon, SD. The built in steps make it easy for the younger kids to climb up into the driver's seat, while the teenagers jump right up in one step to entertain their friends. This perfectly placed tractor gives parents a few moments to shop for produce while the kids are occupied playing farmer.
