Firewall for VMware vSphere virtual machines
We have been using VMware vSphere in an environment where VM admins are not to be trusted as they are only customers who purchase resources from us. It might happen that they use their virtual machine and the assigned public IPv4 address to spoof network packets, share illegal materials over various P2P networks or attack other VM guests locally.
VMware offers no solutions for the above problems, the assumption is that ESX hosts are supposed to be inside of a protected corporate environment. Networking is done via virtual switches which only implement little network security.
What we need to prevent:
- MAC, IP spoofing
- Illegal P2P traffic
- Illegal SMTP traffic (spam relays, etc)
What we already have:
- Forged transmit protection: VMware knows the MAC addresses associated to the network interfaces of the VM, so it can drop packets with forged source addresses. (Doesn't protect against IP spoofing)
What we did:
We created a small virtual machine where we installed OpenWrt, a small yet efficient Linux based firewall/router solution for embedded systems.
The VM parameters were:
CPU: 500mhz
Network interfaces: 2
The actual image only took 10MBs which already included every tool we needed.
Then we connected the interfaces between the VM and the outside network, and created a software bridge.
We ran tests on an ESX server (4.0) with a quad core E5420 Xeon CPU.
Initiating a P2P network traffic from the protected VM resulted in 100% CPU pull for the bridge VM, the network troughput couldn't go any higher than 3.5MB/s. Increasing the CPU limit for the VM resulted in linear growth of network troughput. With 1Ghz we had 7MB/s, and without CPU limitation the CPU usage went up to 1.6Ghz maximizing our 100Mbit/s uplink. Turning on and off the firewall with many Layer2,3,7 rules didn't seem to affect the throughput performance. At least we knew that the bottleneck was the CPU and the bridge.
The results were somewhat disappointing so we started to dig further.
Our first guess was that the 32bit Bridge VM didn't use the HW Virtualization Technology in the CPU. To have VMware use the HW method we had to port openwrt to x86_64 CPU. The task was not easy and trivial but we managed to create an image. For our disappointment the results were nearly the same if not worse. Checking through pubications and papers we found that engineers at VMware made SW virtualization better than Intel-VT. URL
In almost every of their benchmarks the software method was faster. Funny thing for Intel.
Bottom line:
We implemented our ideas into the Bridging Firewall VM, changed the port groups of the VMs to be protected and now they are spam, warez and dos-attack free.

LIKE the Energizer Bunny, the Neuberger Museum at Purchase College here just keeps going and going. After a spring and summer packed with attractions, including the June Wayne retrospective, a small tribute to Fairfield Porter, various group shows and, recently, its first biennial of public art, the museum sails into fall with two anthologies, ''Basically Black and White'' and ''Eye to Eye.''
The first is a small group of large paintings compiled by Judy Collischan, the museum's assistant director for curatorial affairs. The second is a large group of relatively small paintings and sculptures assembled by Roy Neuberger, the founder of the museum, and Edward Albee, the playwright, each choosing works from the other's collection.
''Basically Black and White'' is a powerful display made more so by its setting, the museum's vast Theater Gallery. But as a lineup of works by seven contemporaries, some of them lesser-knowns, it seems like a pendant to the main production, an impression confirmed by its title. And, while this honors Mr. Albee for his accomplishments as a writer (in black and white) it makes a strange label for a show that is more poly- than monochrome and, in fact, centers on a magnum opus in color called ''Recollect.''
A work by Denyse Tomasos, a painter born in Trinidad, the roughly 18-by-10-foot canvas is filled with two layers of squares each composed of parallel and crisscrossing strokes in browns, grays, rusty red, pale green and yellow as well as black and white. Applied con brio, the gestures coalesce into a patchwork reminiscent of a giant quilt hung on a line.
The caption reports that Ms. Tomasos has been much affected by African fabrics, but because of the size and rhythm of her pattern, not to mention the muted harmonies of its colors, the viewer needs time in which to appreciate the influence at work -- the warp and woof implied by the brush strokes, the artist's ingenuity in converting craft into art.Continue reading the main story
Heirs to Abstract Expressionism, Melissa Meyer and Louise Fishman, hang on opposite walls, illustrating the movement's yin and yang; that is, the poured images of Jackson Pollock versus the gestural efforts by Willem de Kooning. Ms. Meyer takes her cue from Pollock but treats oil paint as if it were watercolor, marbling pristine white canvases with pools and skeins of gray, blue and pink to produce results as alluring as the marbled endpapers of old books.
Ms. Fishman being a gestural painter, her images inevitably invite comparison with those of Franz Kline. Still, whereas Kline worked like a calligrapher, using a few spontaneous strokes, Ms. Fishman builds up her shapes -- notably those arcing down the ''Iron Sharpens Iron'' canvas, with dabs of impasto, many of them in tones of gray. Hers is automatism with the brakes on.
The curator has the eye and confidence needed to pick good painters regardless of their fame (or lack of it). But when it comes to documentation she leaves viewers in the lurch with captions long on art waffle and short on information. That for James Bohary's ''EEE,'' an alternately matte and glossy arrangement of a few black oblongs in a field of reddish-black, says what would be obvious to even a visually impaired observer -- that the artist ''forces forms to emerge from a cavernous space.'' And, though it mentions that Mr. Bohary's career goes back three decades, the label does not reveal why, in a selection of 1990's art, Mr. Bohary is the only artist represented by works from the 1970's.
This leaves Caio Fonseca, Brad Kahlhamer and Jennifer Kim. An American who has studied and worked in Europe, Mr. Fonseca presents ''10th Street Painting,'' a cream-colored canvas incised with a black diagram. When the lines run from side to side, interrupted by small crescental and angular shapes, they suggest an avant-garde musical score; but when they slant, curve and are punctuated by the occasional red dot, the result hints at a map of the 10th Street neighborhood in Manhattan.
Mr. Kahlhamer makes metaphors for maps -- vertical field of bright impasto through which trails wind, accompanied by words like ''bait'' and ''jack rabbit.'' He is an American Indian, well versed in the landscape of the Southwest and, according to a caption, keeps a ''private, visual diary of traced paths and personal symbols,'' which has something in common with Plains Indian imagery. Still, to get the most out of the resemblance, viewers must overlook the sophisticated veneer of automatism as well as the Pop jocularity of a title like ''17 Franks.''
Most young Asian artists at work in the United States face the almost insurmountable problem of reconciling Eastern and Western traditions. As a painter of Korean descent, Jennifer Kim is one of several who successfully combine the serenity of the first with the expressive possibilities of the second and, in her pictures of rain, she does it by treating the drops as if they were stitches -- colored turquoise in the better of the two canvases -- and laying them on a ground coated with graphite. The image is Asian to the degree that it is almost an ideogram for rain calculated to inspire meditation, yet the way it invites the observer to experience a sensation of getting wet makes it more than a little Western.
On view through Jan. 18, ''Black and White'' is a show reflecting the preferences of one young curator and as such resists comparison with the joint effort of two experienced collectors, one with a taste that sometimes goes beyond 20th-century American art. Accordingly, ''Eye to Eye'' will be covered in a separate review. The information number is 251-6103.Continue reading the main story

heavenly vanilla butter icing
1 cup (2 sticks) salted sweet cream butter, softened
6 to 8 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure Mexican vanilla extract
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of the sugar and then the milk, cream and vanilla. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition roughly 2 minutes, until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency... You may not need to add all of the sugar. If you want colored icing, add a few drops of gel coloring and mix thoroughly. Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled. Icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Makes enough for one 2-layer 9-inch cake or 2 dozen cupcakes*

The all-new Health app has been redesigned to make it easier to find out about your well being and begin reaching your objectives. Last March, the drug maker agreed to pay $25 million to settle charges that it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by making unlawful funds to health care suppliers in China. Technology can also be rapidly evolving, and consumer and healthcare supplier expectations of digital health options are rising as they're exposed to superior innovative options in different sectors akin to retail and banking. This provides to the evidence suggesting that US well being care, at least, is rigged to benefit its high insiders and cronies, and as such, is part of a bigger rigged system. This is one of the finest articles I even have read for checking your well being, giving clear signs if one thing goes unsuitable with your physique. The plan is known … Read More

A Study Of Vietnam's Healthcare System
It's been known there's an investor lawsuit towards Theranos, and Theranos has issued a press launch denying the charges as unfounded. While the overwhelming consensus among health professionals and politicians is Australia's well being system in its current type is unsustainable, making an attempt to reform the system for the long run is akin to herding cats. While facelifts are generally elective and not coated (unless they're part of a restorative process, corresponding to reconstructing your face after surgery or an accident), you might be stunned at some procedures coated by your insurance coverage. When your phone is locked with a passcode or Touch ID, all of your well being and health information in the Health app — other than what you have added to your Medical ID emergency card — is encrypted along with your passcode.

Music City River Retreat is hidden away on a residential street less than a mile from The Grand Ole Opry, Opryland Resort and Convention Center, Opry Mills Mall and great restaurants and bars. You won't even realize how close to the action you are when you are relaxing watching the river and the wildlife in the yard. It is a two story house with an open floor plan that includes the family room, kitchen and eating area. This area has real hardwood floors and is great for entertaining. There is a 52 inch flat screen TV above the gas fireplace in the family room with bose speaker surround sound, cd player, HD cable, blu ray player and WIFI internet connection. The Master Bedroom and a small bedroom are downstairs and there are two bedrooms upstairs. A scene from the film 'Lukewarm' with John Schneider and Jet Jurgensmeyer was filmed here in 2012. The house was also featured in a weather channel show called 'Twist of Fate', season 1 episode 6 and 'The Ellen Show' about the 2010 Nashville Flood.
Bill and I have been married for 10 years and have lived in the Donelson area for 15 years. We designed and built this house in 2008 and have really enjoyed raising our kids here. We have also owned and operated a licensed locksmith company for over five years in this area. We know that anyone that stays here will be able to build great memories with their friends and families.
Bill and Anne Crousser purchased this house in 2008
We fell in love with this area of Nashville because it is so close to everything. We have both always loved the water and just love relaxing on the back porch watching the river.
We fell in love with this property because of the beauty of the river. We bought the land then designed and built the house in 2008. It is a country setting in the heart of the city.
Couldn't have asked for a better house to stay in while in Nashville! The owners are wonderful and the house has everything you need for a fun trip! Great location, hope to go back!
we had a great stay. Everything you could need! Easy to get anywhere local!
The house provided a great stay. It was comfy and just what we needed to enjoy our time in Nashville. ubers to the city were not an issue and we had all the amenities we needed within driving distance. Great stay and great house. Described exactly as listed.
The house is very clean with many amenities… The kids enjoyed fishing at the dock while the adults enjoyed the Jacuzzi . Beautiful view of the River while we enjoyed our coffee .
A beautiful music city home with a nice view of the Cumberland river and plenty of space for the many activities the river retreat has to offer. Our group felt right at home here and we could not have asked for better accommodations. Thank you!
What a wonderful time we had at this river retreat. We came together from all over the country. The airport, city and things to do were all convenient. The house was warm and welcoming with every amenity and consideration from dart games, kayaks, and hot tub to room to spread out, lovely well appointed kitchen and so clean. The hosts made sure everything was in order and then let us have a great time. Thank you
We live on a quiet residential street that is only half a mile from The Opryland Hotel and The Grand Ole Opry House. We also live less than a mile from the Opry Mills Mall that has a movie theatre and many unique stores if you love shopping. We live in an area called 'Music Valley' and there are quite a few unique attractions within a mile of the house. We live 10 minutes from downtown Nashville and of course there are too many places to list that are worth going to visit there! If you bring your boat we have a boat dock and it is only a 10 minute boat ride to downtown on the river! We also live 5 minutes from the Two Rivers Greenway that has a beautiful pedestrian Bridge across the Cumberland River and miles of walking/biking trails. We will be posting pictures on our website and Facebook page and we encourage you to post as well during your stay here.
|Cleaning Fee
|Damage Deposit
100% refund if cancelled 30 days before reservation begins. We will do a two night minimum stay Mon-Wed. If you have more than 12 guests there is a $50 per person fee for each additional guest. If you would like to rent a kayak while you are here let us know so we can add the fee to your reservation. There will be refunds on kayak rental if the weather does not permit or if the river is too high during your stay.

According to data compiled by the Council of Great City Schools and reported in the New York Times, poor white kids do better on standardized tests (the National Assessment for Educational Progress) than black kids not living in poverty, from the Times article:
Only 12 percent of black fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared with 38 percent of white boys, and only 12 percent of black eighth-grade boys are proficient in math, compared with 44 percent of white boys.
Poverty alone does not seem to explain the differences: poor white boys do just as well as African-American boys who do not live in poverty, measured by whether they qualify for subsidized school lunches.
This will cause shock and dismay in the crowd that thinks money is the source of all educational problems. Which is, of course, the same crowd that would benefit if more money were thrown education's way, but that's a matter for another day.
What is resolutely considered as blaspheme, thus preventing any discussion about it whatsoever, is the idea that perhaps, just perhaps, the reason white kids–even poor white kids–perform better than blacks–even non-poor blacks–is that white kids have, on average, innately greater intellectual capability than do black kids. There, I said it.
Intelligence is closely tied to the speed with which the brain processes information. Is it so outlandish to consider that perhaps there are real differences amongst the various races in the speed of neural processes? Does it condemn all blacks to intellectual inferiority because the average black processes information more slowly than does the average white? Of course not.
Even a casual glance around at the world yields the inescapable conclusion, racist though it may seem to some, that the various races excel at different endeavors. Jews of Northern European descent represent less than two percent of the population of the United States, but are far greater than two percent of the population of lawyers, doctors, hedge fund managers, etc. Can their success at these endeavors be strictly attributed to nurture, i.e., their environment? What is substantially different about the environment of a Jewish immigrant from Northern Europe living in Brooklyn, and that of a black child growing up a few blocks away in Harlem? Blacks comprise about twelve percent of the population, yet represent well over half of the starters on professional football and basketball teams. Are we to pretend this is this solely the result of nurture? What about a black's upbringing is so substantially different that he learns to run faster, jump higher, throw and shoot more accurately and hit harder than his white counterpart with whom he played sports in his youth?
If we accept that certain races may, on average, have certain genetic advantages that predispose them to excel in certain areas–e.g., blacks in sports and entertainment and Jews in medicine and law–then why do we refuse to acknowledge that those same genes may be driving different outcomes in the classroom?
Just because a white kid can't run as fast as a black kid, doesn't mean he can't run. Just because a black kid can't compute derivatives as fast as an Asian kid doesn't mean he can't compute derivatives. It's not a death-knell for black intellectual achievement if it is acknowledged that blacks, on average, aren't as quick in the classroom as their white and Asian and Jewish counterparts, just as it does not condemn all white men to mediocrity on the basketball court if we acknowledge that blacks, on average, are quicker to the boards than are whites.
In classroom tests–just as in athletic contests–speed is the difference, and to a certain extent, speed can't be learned. It can be practiced such that the fastest speed attainable by a particular configuration of genes is obtained, and individual configurations of genes are as variable as are individuals. But when we look at averages between races, such as studies like this do, the overall genetic propensities show up. I bet if you took the same group of white kids and timed them in a forty yard dash against the same group of black kids, the average time for the black kids would be lower than it is for the white kids. That's not to say any individual white is slower than any individual black, but when grouped as races, genetic proclivities reveal themselves.
Biologists like to promise that genetics, the source of all the attributes humans possess, may one day provide cures to all sorts of diseases and conditions, yet at the same time they like to claim there are no practical genetic differences across the races. It can't be both ways. Either genes matter or they don't. If genes matter, at hardly much more than a glance, I'm quite sure I share fewer genes with Michael Jordan than I do with somebody else that doesn't look like or play basketball like Michael Jordan (I'm struggling to think of an example of a blue-eyed redhead of average height and weight that's famous–I gots nothing). If genes don't matter, then how come I never made it to the NBA? I played and played and played basketball in my driveway growing up–practically every day after school when it wasn't football season. Why didn't I get any better than I did? Probably the same reason I will never fully understand Einstein's relativity theory, although my chances of understanding Einstein are far better than I would ever have had of making the NBA. From years of testing and experience, I know that I am far above-average intellectually, yet near or slightly below average athletically. My lack of athletic ability owes nothing to a lack of nurturing. When I was a kid, I would gladly have traded a bunch of IQ points for the ability to slam-dunk a basketball.
It is patently absurd to ignore the reality that race matters when compiling overall performance statistics for racial groups. Barring the consideration of intellectual differences across the races in a study that specifically accounts for intellectual abilities according to race (else we wouldn't have the statistics) is tantamount to ruling out a lack of gas being the reason the lawnmower won't crank without even allowing the tank be checked for gas. Differences in intellectual ability would explain all of the results of the study, yet can't even be investigated. We are forced to assume that the tank is not dry, as we keep tinkering with the motor and pulling the lanyard to no avail.

Cubs fans have indeed waited all their lives for this
This weekend is something that a sizable part of Chicago has waited for 71 years to see happen.
Some Philadelphia sports fan set down his sour grapes long enough to call into a national sports talk show on Thursday night, and lament that Cubs fans who claim to have waited "all their life" for this moment are forgetting about the White Sox in the World Series back in 2005. That shows how little a Philly fan knows about baseball in Chicago.
Baseball Isn't Like Football, and That's A Good Thing | World Series 2016
With the World Series kicking off in Cleveland on Tuesday night, it's as good a time as any to consider how different baseball's championship is from football. Why football? Because its title game has become synonymous with a really big event. It's so big the NFL aggressively protects against unauthorized use of the term. Hopefully baseball is a bit more relaxed than that.
Progressive Field Is The Place To Be This Summer
2016 is shaping up to be an interesting year for Cleveland. Not only have the Cavaliers returned to the NBA Finals for a rematch with the Golden State Warriors, but the Indians are right in the thick of things in the American League Central division standings. And with the Republicans bringing their nominating convention to town in July, people from far and wide will be finding their way to the shores of Lake Erie.

When drug labels and explanation of prescribed medications (dosage, instructions for how and when the medication is to be taken, side effects, and food & drug interactions) in standard print, blind and low vision consumers are at a disadvantage. Without clear communication of this crucial information, there are severe consequences for issuing pharmacies as well as blind, low vision and print disabled consumers.
Providing prescription information in an accessible format such as braille, large print, audio, and online ensures that pharmacies are meeting their communication obligations ensuring they meet their legal obligations such as Section 904 and the associated guidelines of The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) as well as meeting the needs of their blind and low vision customers.
T-Base specializes in converting the standard print drug labels and prescription information - issued by both pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies - into a format that can be easily understood by print disabled consumers with accuracy and delivered in a secure and timely fashion. Because of our long history of providing North America's largest banks with accessible account statements, pharmacies can rest assured they are working with an experienced and reputable company who understands private and secure processing and business needs.

With its tenderly human tableaux painted on a golden background, the St. John Altarpiece, attributed to Francescuccio Ghissi (active 1359–1374), was a gem of Italian art at the dawn of the Renaissance. But at some point in the nineteenth or early twentieth century, the altarpiece was sawn apart to separate its nine constituent panels.

We think of the art of ancient Greece as the epitome of serene beauty and refinement, but a new exhibition at the Onassis Cultural Center in New York reveals how often deep, even combustible, feelings were expressed in the artifacts of the Hellenic civilization.
All along the watchtowers at Yale
"From being the homes of great lords in the Middle Ages to being either homes of modern aristocrats or ruins (many castles were destroyed during the English Civil War), castles became both symbols of democracy and warnings to aristocrats that you had to always respect the power of the people."

Fun fact: The Pulitzer Prize winning play Doubt—upon which the film of the same name was based—was written by John Patrick Shanley, who was also responsible for the screenplay behind the dreadful Michael Crichton adaptation, Congo. He was also the writer on the children's'…film…We're Back! A Dinosaurs Story. As a result, I've never known whether or not to respect the man or view him as an object lesson in not knowing when to get up and walk away from a project.
Today, I've reached the point where I would normally get up and walk away from this book. Despite any optimism that I've been expressing here…Despite any insistence that I've had that I'll fix the book's problems in the edit…I've got some serious goddamned reservations about this thing.
It doesn't feel right. Somewhere along the line, I've added all of these different plot threads and narrators on different planets and across disparate time-zones, and I've ended up with this overcomplicated mess of a plot that's so full of holes that nearly a third of my writing this month has been personal notations on what to fix or add later. And, upon review, I can't help but notice that there are very few ideas there about how to fix the problems.
This happens sometimes. A book just gets bloated and overcomplicated. I sometimes wonder if I'm more familiar with it than some other writers because I started doing this young, and had a general philosophy of throwing every idea at the page and seeing what stuck. I thought I had outgrown that, or at least dodged it on account of all of the planning that I had done…But here I am again, sitting at a computer and looking at a manuscript that seems fit for little more than salvage. Doing mental calculations like a butcher: "What characters can I take to use later? What set-pieces can I chop off and slide into that other story that still needs something? Can I grind the plot for backstory sausage on some other book?"
The little voice at the back of my head that hates work and loves videogames keeps telling me to go for it. "Kill your darlings and all that," it says. "Oh, are you going to cry over this book? Give up and replay The Last of Us instead. Cry over something that's actually well written and has characters worth caring about, you bitch."
And, for what it's worth, I keep telling that voice that he's a dick and that I'll replay The Last of Us when I'm good and ready and not so emotionally compromised from last time.
Because—bottom line—I don't want to give up on this book. I want to finish it and publish it, because I know that there's a good book here somewhere. I just…Lost sight of it somewhere in the last few months. And I made a promise to all of you, and to myself, that I would put out the best book I could at the end of this thing. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I also promised you that I would get sloppy at some point and turn into a train wreck of self-loathing.
Welcome to that, by the way. Again.
So. Yeah. I'm going to keep going here. And I'm going to run a few experiments over the next couple of days to see if I can't find something that works better for me. Something that will turn this mess back into the trim, cynical piece of hardboiled sci-fi that I wanted it to be. I'll keep posting as I work, of course, and keep you up to date on any changes. And I'll hopefully be able to pull of a massive train dodge and be able to strip the existing manuscript for parts rather than start from scratch.
Fun stuff, right?

The Link Between Music, Mood, and Motivation
What's your favorite song?
Without knowing you, it would be tough for me to guess, due to the large number and variety of music genres. But it would be safe to assume that your favorite song probably brings about an intense emotional reaction.
When people describe their favorite music, they generally describe it as occasionally giving them "the chills." You've most likely observed this with your favorite music. But the interesting part is that experiencing this phenomenon is not reliant on any one type of music.
Researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute had participants bring in their favorite music. While each participant described an intense emotional reaction, the music genres ranged from classical to jazz to punk rock. With so much diversity, what was responsible for this fundamental emotional response?
The answer, as it so happens, is dopamine. Scientists at McGill University found a direct connection between the elation generated by music and the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Dopamine is a chemical released in the brain that influences emotional regulation, pleasure, and rewards. As reported by Richard Depue, professor at Cornell University: "When our dopamine system is activated, we are more positive, excited and eager to go after goals or rewards, such as food, sex, money, education or professional achievements."
So music is associated with dopamine, and dopamine to motivation, but the music itself is less significant than the emotional reaction it creates. This leads to some powerful implications.
Let's go back to your favorite song. Has it ever given you "the chills" or provided a powerful emotional response? If so, you've just identified one of the most effective methods to release more dopamine into your system, which is a life hack for positivity and inspiration.
So what type of music should you go with to attain these positive emotional reactions? The principal insight from the above research is that it is dependent completely on your tastes. The music can be joyful, gloomy, upbeat, slow, instrumental, classical, rock, or rap. The secret is taking stock of the emotional reactions you receive from different songs and genres.
Once you understand how you respond viscerally to particular songs, you can make use of those songs to elicit the sought after emotional reaction, producing the most effective emotional state for each situation.
For instance, if rock 'n' roll gets you pumped up and stimulated for a workout, you may want to listen to your favorite Metallica album while heading to the gym. In contrast, if you're hoping to loosen up after a stressful day at the office, perhaps the best of Beethoven is the approach to take.
And last, if you have hearing loss, consider that the latest hearing aid technology that can stream music wirelessly from portable devices straight to your hearing aids. This puts you in an exceptional position to make the most of this research.
Simply dial in your favorite tracks on your phone or portable device, send it wirelessly to your hearing aids, and let the dopamine start flowing.
By the way, what is your favorite song? And which songs or music genres elicit strong responses or specific moods for you?

Israel has expressed increasing concern over Tehran's refusal to heed UN calls for it to halt its nuclear programme.
Speaking after Monday's talks, Mr Bush warned that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a "terribly destabilising" force and would have to be isolated by the world.
He and Mr Olmert also discussed Iraq and the Palestinian conflict.
The meeting was Mr Olmert's second at the White House since taking over from Ariel Sharon.
It follows a summer of fighting in Lebanon and Gaza which has forced Mr Olmert to abandon his central policy - unilateral withdrawal from parts of the West Bank.
A recent poll put his approval rating among Israelis at about 20%.
Speaking to reporters after the talks, Mr Olmert said he and Mr Bush had "complete understanding" over their objectives concerning Iran.
Mr Olmert said Israel would not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran and would do everything in its power to stop Tehran crossing the "technological threshold" that would allow it to develop nuclear weapons.
He accused the Iranian government of "fanaticism and extremism", saying it threatened not only the existence of Israel, but also the whole world.
Mr Bush said there had to be "consequences" if Iran moved forward with its nuclear programme.
"A good place to start is working together to isolate the country. And my hope is, there are rational people inside the government that recognise isolation is not in their country's interest," he said.
Economic isolation could be one route pursued by the West, he said.
Mr Bush added that if the Iranians wanted to have a dialogue "we have shown them the way forward", referring to US and European Union demands that they halt enrichment.
Donald Rumsfeld, who resigned as US defence secretary after the Republicans lost US mid-term elections last week, was opposed to any dialogue with Iran.
The man expected to replace him, Robert Gates, has suggested that dialogue could be possible.
Speaking earlier on US television, Mr Olmert said Israel was not looking for a confrontation with Iran and would prefer a negotiated resolution.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for an end to the Israeli state and has described the Nazi holocaust as a myth.
Israel and Western powers say his country's nuclear programme is intended for military use.
An Iranian official said on Sunday that Tehran would deliver a "swift, strong and crushing" response to any Israeli military attack on its nuclear sites, which it says are entirely peaceful in nature.
Israel is widely considered to be the only nuclear armed state in the Middle East, although it has never admitted having the capability.
Mr Olmert has said he does not expect any change in Washington's unstinting support for Israel after control of Congress passed from Republican to Democrat.

About Articles Editor's Blog Write Shop Advertise
Using Visual Thinking
|"Having been led into a discussion of their own ideas, they learned that they do have something valuable to bring to the study of art. They learned that careful observation and respectful discussion can yield fascinating insights."
Because they have been taught that they don't have the right to participate in and enjoy it. They have been taught that art has right answers and wrong answers. Those who get the answers wrong are corrected, mocked or sneered at by those who know the right answers. They conclude that either they just don't get it or the emperor has no clothes. In either case it is not worth risking the embarrassment or frustration of participating in art exploration. They have effectively been shut out.
About two years ago, I volunteered to be an art docent at our favorite local park's sculpture garden. To my amazement, the professor doing the training did not want us to tell people about the artist or about what a work meant. She wanted us to encourage touring groups' exploration of art. We were to facilitate discussion by asking a general open-ended question and eliciting the group's ideas about art. No expert summaries, no corrections.
This method is called Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and it was developed by cognitive psychologist Abigail Housen and Philip Yenawine. It confirms what advocates of non-institutionalized learning believe: Allowing people to learn for themselves is the most effective means of education.
Gradually, the three other docent trainees dropped out of the sessions. I believe they were terrified at being in a position of "authority" without knowing all the answers. What's the point of "leading" a tour if you're not giving information? How could you answer, "I don't know" to participants?
I lead a session of mixed-age children at a housing project after-school program, one of special education fourth graders, several third grades, a mixed-age church group, a group of YWCA board members and a group of college teachers. In each case, the participants answered tentatively at first. There were silences. The participants looked at me expectantly, but I did not give them the evaluation they'd been taught to expect. I had to remind myself not to rush to fill in these silences. When they caught on that I was listening and paraphrasing their own answers (thereby reinforcing, legitimizing and clarifying them), they ventured into further participation. In each case a lively discussion, respectful disagreement and active listening emerged from the group. In each case, I learned something about the art and the individual knowledge and perspectives of participants. It was a fascinating and exciting process to be part of.
A 70-ish man from the church group seemed irritated at first that I would not give answers. He reminded me that I was supposed to be telling them about the sculptures. By the end of this tour, the same man happily exclaimed: "We knew more about art than we thought we did!"
It is important to remember that learning takes time and personal interest. What would the participants have learned if I had simply given them the script about each artist and work: name, date, influences, era, school of thought? They may have remembered a tidbit or two which would have been unconnected to anything else in their lives. They might have been able to show off to friends by repeating some factoid about what an artist said about his work. Soon this would fade and there would be no trace of the session left on their consciousness. This would have been superficial entertainment or, worse, an empty "educational" experience.
|"I try to stop myself from helpfully offering unsolicited information. I have also learned that offering their own ideas back to them gives them permission to continue with a thought or line of reasoning."
Having been led into a discussion of their own ideas, they learned that they do have something valuable to bring to the study of art. They learned that careful observation and respectful discussion can yield fascinating insights. If they wish to find out what the artist was trying to achieve or the technical details of the work, they can seek out this information. If they do seek it out, it will be a self-initiated learning experience, which is the only kind of learning that sticks.
Two mistakes avoided by using this method of "teaching" are: 1) trying to cram all possible information and interpretation into one session and; 2) presuming what the participant can and wishes to get out of the session. Using the VTS method, the docent doesn't know how the discussion will turn out. She doesn't presume to know the background knowledge, worldview or interests of the participants. She doesn't insult their intelligence!
I believe this method can be brought to other areas of learning. It seems obvious that the study of literature can be enriched by using a similar technique. The questions simply need to be altered to address a written text rather than a work of art. But how would it be useful in science? Well, the scientific method is based on detailed observation and keeping all possibilities open. Open-ended questioning would allow participants to discover some scientific phenomena on their own. Once the gate is opened, these same learners could research more in-depth concepts and ideas for themselves.
I often think about how to use this deceptively simple technique in my role as parent. Occasionally, I ask my children what is going on in a piece of art they are examining. I have also learned to refrain from being a know-it-all when they ask questions. Often as not, I will say, "What do you think?" or "We can look that up next time we're at the library." I try to stop myself from helpfully offering unsolicited information. I have also learned that offering their own ideas back to them gives them permission to continue with a thought or line of reasoning. The greatest reward for doing so is that I learn from their observations about the world and they learn to trust and depend on themselves for their own education.

'Sidney' (Reg. No. CV-344, PI 641939), a Russian wheat aphid [RWA, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov)]–resistant, spring, two-rowed, feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) tested as 98BX 44B, was developed and released by the USDA–ARS, Stillwater, OK, and Aberdeen, ID; Colorado State University; and the University of Nebraska. Introduction of RWA to the United States effectively eliminated spring barley, the preferred alternate crop, in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rotations, in eastern Colorado and western Nebraska. 'Otis', a spring barley well adapted to the high dry plains, is susceptible to RWA. STARS 9301B, the first RWA-resistant barley germplasm line released in the United States, has a high level of resistance to the aphid. With RWA resistance from STARS 9301B transferred to Otis through backcross breeding, Sidney outperforms Otis in this marginal production area.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Crude Oil Rises With Equities, Gold Falls on Dollar Rally
Posted on 10 August 2010 by DailyFX
Crude oil got a boost from the continued uptrend in equities, as traders consider recent weak economic data as priced in. Gold fell after the greenback rallied strongly off support.
Commodities – Energy
Crude Oil Rises With Equities
Crude Oil (WTI) – $81.08 // -$0.40 // -0.49%
Commentary: Crude oil advanced $0.78, or 0.97% on Monday, as the commodity followed equities higher. U.S. stocks, as represented by the S&P 500 index, closed at the highest level since May and have been steadily trending higher despite the release of several weak pieces of economic data. The most notable piece of data was last week's nonfarm payrolls report. Though equities and in turn, crude oil, fell on Friday following the report, the rally on Monday enabled the assets to recoup most of those losses. We expect that risk assets will continue to be well-bid, but that crude oil will be contained below the mid-$80's due to abundant supplies.
Technical Outlook: Unchanged from yesterday: "Prices have turned lower from resistance at $82.55, the 138.2% Fibonacci extension of the 6/28-7/6 downswing. Initial support lines up at $79.38, a barrier reinforced by the close proximity of the bottom of a rising channel set from the low in May."
Commodities – Metals
Gold Falls on Dollar Rally
Gold – $1200.85 // -$0.50 // -0.04%
Commentary: Gold finally registered a decline on Monday, its first in ten sessions. The metal lost $4.05, or 0.34%. The rally in the US Dollar was the most likely culprit for gold's latest moves, as gold ETF holdings remain steady at recent lows. In the event the greenback continues to rally, gold will likely continue lower, for other than the USD's recent weakness, there has not been much in the way of support for gold.
Technical Outlook: Unchanged from yesterday: "Prices have taken out the top of a falling channel set from the swing high in June and are now flirting with establishing a foothold above the psychologically significant $1200 figure. Continued gains expose resistance at $1215.47m with a move above that clearing the way for a challenge of the record high at $1265.30."
Silver – $18.32 // -$0.02 // -0.11%
Commentary: Silver shed $0.13, or 0.70% in step with gold. The gold/silver ratio stands at 65.53, well within the 2010 range of 60 to 71.
Technical Outlook: Prices have stalled at resistance marked by the upper boundary of a descending triangle chart formation above support at $17.45 that has contained prices for much of the year (now at $18.51). A break below initial support at $18.17 opens the door for a move to test the $18.00 figure and another run toward $17.45. Alternatively, renewed bullish momentum would expose the $19.00 mark.

I've just been reading a book called "the naked leader", by David Taylor. It's reasonably interesting but also slightly irritating. David has set the book out in such a way that you can read it by jumping from section to section or reading through as normal. I've tried both ways but found myself distracted by the page cues for the next section – if I had been following a different path through the book.
Does that make sense – probably not. Anyway, I gave up! But it did make me think that there are many paths through life and that we choose them!
We choose whether to take the straight road or to follow all the side tracks that crop up in front of us. Sometimes we are distracted by other people, sometimes we are pushed off track by events beyond our control, sometimes we just lose the place – like I did with the book!
If you are constantly being distracted or losing the place or you may not be sure where you are going this would be a good time to invest in our EBook: "How to Get Your Life Back" – our very effective e-book. I was having a conversation with my web-site manager the other night, www.usable.co.nz and he asked about a table of contents for the book. I said there isn't one, because I would like people to work their way through the book and not hop from topic to topic. Each section builds on the previous one and by the time readers come to the "I'm In Control" work book they will have come to know themselves much better and will be committed to making change happen.
Yes, there is more than one way to get your life back on track, but if you want to feel better faster and know you are on the right track, sign up now. You could get your life back!!

I would like to be able to run a report that would list by workstation the shared printers that are connected to it.
This topic was created during version 1.6.

We do not currently support this. However, you can view the printers for each computer by viewing the Complete Profile from the bottom of the General tab of each computer.
Jul 2, 2007 at 9:31 UTC
I have looked at the full profile. Sometimes it does not list the default printer, or the list of printers is not complete. This capability would be great when considering setting up a new server.
Jan 12, 2009 at 5:21 UTC
Looking at the profile has shown the printers, but there are four (for example) on the system I'm looking at right now. I have almost 500 systems on the network and need to find out all printers. I can go through and sort them later, but how can we get a report for the printers (all) on the network and local systems?
May 27, 2010 at 5:10 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
That would be a nice feature to have but pretty complex, I think, to implement.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/3/2013 (1609 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HE committed one of Winnipeg's worst acts of workplace violence and was given a life sentence with no guarantee of release.
But a former Grace Hospital employee who stabbed his boss to death in front of several colleagues has recently returned to the community after spending 14 years behind bars, documents obtained by the Free Press show.
Stephen Underwood, 60, has spent the past few months free on day parole with stringent conditions meant to reduce his risk to society. They include abstaining from drugs and alcohol -- which played a vital role in the attack -- and continuing psychological counselling for ongoing mental-health concerns. Each night, Underwood must also report to a halfway house in the city.
"The board concluded that you had come to understand what drove you to commit your extreme act of violence. Through programs, counselling, self-reflection and maturity, you gained insight into your contributing factors and demonstrated a willingness to continue dealing with your areas of concern," the parole board wrote in a November 2012 decision obtained this week.
Underwood pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the deadly May 1998 attack inside the crowded hospital. He was originally charged with first-degree murder, but the Crown agreed to a lesser plea after mental-health assessments found him fit to stand trial but disturbed enough to raise questions about his intent.
Underwood was given a rare life sentence with no chance of parole for at least 10 years. However, federal officials are under no requirement to release him at any time.
Bill Larson, the Grace Hospital's manager of human resources who had tried to fire Underwood earlier in the day, was stabbed 13 times while he pleaded for his life.
"His final words were 'No, Stephen, no,' " Crown attorney Sheila Leinburd told court at the time. Underwood responded by saying "This won't take long" as he clutched a large hunting knife.
"He was very intent on what he was doing. He was a man on a mission," Leinburd said during Underwood's sentencing. Underwood walked away, placed the knife in its sheath and handed it to a hospital doctor while waiting for police.
Now, Underwood's mission is to get his life back on track, according to the parole board. Underwood has found a job and enjoys support from his wife and children. The parole board previously turned down bids from Underwood to be released between 2008 and 2012 but changed its decision last year when he began showing significant progress, including a much broader understanding of his crime and the damage he caused to Larson's family.
"It is evident that you are using program skills and community supports to assist in managing your risk," the parole board wrote.
Larson had tried to play peacemaker with Underwood hours before the attack. The disgruntled employee had refused to undergo a psychiatric evaluation as a condition of his employment after hospital officials grew concerned about his attitude and relationship with other employees, court was told.
Larson had decided to fire Underwood, but the man became enraged with his union representative and started choking him. Larson broke up the fight and Underwood vented his anger toward his boss, blaming him for the troubles. Underwood left and Larson returned to his office but remained "nervous."
His fears were realized hours later when Underwood returned and attacked him while co-workers watched in horror.
Larson left behind a wife and three grown sons.
Following the killing, defence lawyer Saul Simmonds blamed the Grace Hospital, Underwood's union and medical officials for a complete "system failure," which he believes caused his client's deadly attack.
"This case is a blueprint for disaster," said Simmonds, noting his client had a wife and young daughter and was a loving family man before the tragedy. "He was not some sort of dangerous animal," he said.
He said Underwood had previously been diagnosed as suffering from social phobia and paranoia but required more substantial help than he was given. He said the hospital and union officials only compounded his problems by making him feel like an outcast at work, and said psychiatrists and a psychologist he was seeing failed to get him the treatment he required.

Australian Car Repair Issues? Ask an Auto Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer!
If it's missing on number 6, smoking and running extremely rich then I suspect the number 6 fuel injector is stuck on. The issue may be a mechanical failure of the injector or it could be an electrical problem.
If the injector mechanically sticks open then it will over fuel, this should also cause a long crank time when starting the engine.
If it starts normally then odds are the issue is electrical. If you unplug the number 6 injector you should see the smoke start to subside, but it will take a bit for it to clear up. If unplugging the injector stops it from running rich and smoking then the injector driver is stuck on, either from an internal failure in the engine controller or a short on the control circuit wire between the ECM and injector.

How to fit ceiling lights
A standard single pendant light fitting near the centre of the ceiling can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. As long as you can get to the ceiling void from above without too much disruption, it's not complicated to move a light to wherever you really need it. Alternatively, you can boost your light levels by adding extra pendants which you operate either by the existing switch or by a new one. You'll find that pre-wired lampholder-plus-flex combinations are widely available.

The Alt-Right Becomes New Pop Culture Scapegoat Of The Trump Era
When President Obama was in office, there was no shortage of portrayals in popular culture demonizing conservatives and libertarians. Patriots were regularly cast as hate-filled terror threats in television, video games, movies, and media outlets. In the age of President Trump, a new scapegoat du jour has emerged in the alt-right. The plot to a currently unreleased video game, Far Cry 5 shows how the propaganda narratives are shifting in the age of Trump. The game is set in Montana, a well-known hot spot for patriots as well as the home of the alt right's most infamous provocateur Richard Spencer. The game's villains appear to be an amalgamation of both groups. The cover image for the game depicts a "Last Supper" scene featuring bearded individuals who are crude stereotypes of militiamen with weapons and ammunition strewn about the table. They surround a dapper messiah figure with a hipster beard, presumably the leader of the flock, who looks as if he was modeled directly from right-wing blogger Gavin McInnes. Keep Reading
