hi friends
in my test hyper-v lab, i have deployed SSTP VPN scenario. when my client is secureNET client, SSTP VPN conects without any problem, but when i install firewall client software on this client, SSTP VPN connection cannot be established & terminates
with this error:
"the requested name is valid but no data of the requested type was found."
when in client, i add a route to the destination VPN server & in TMG, set access rule users to all users, VPN establishes. so i noticed that Firewall client application cannot handle SSTP VPN traffic. so why ?
about PPTP protocol i know that because firewall client software cannot handle GRE, but what about SSTP? as i know SSTP doesn't use GRE, so what vpn related prorocol firewall client does not support & cannot handle?
if so is this sentence true to say:
" we cannot control firewall clients SSTP VPN protocol on the basis of username(per user) ?
thanks in advance
scenario details:
VM2 (172.16.1.2)= external SSTP vpn server (also IIS has been installed) with self-signed certificate produces by its IIS
vm3 (192.168.1.3 & 172.16.1.3)=TMG standard SP2 with latest updtes
vm4 (192.168.1.4)= internal domain joined client with firewall client application installed
any help please

Pensioners Denis and Elizabeth Ibison are ready to pack up and move out after 22 years living in the headlights of the Broughton Bypass.
The controversial new road is set to plough through the living room of the couple's neat semi-detached home in Whittingham Lane.
And after a lengthy battle to resist the bulldozers, 79-year-old Denis has confessed: "We can't win, so we're off."
The Ibisons have lived in their home for 55 years and brought up their family there. But now a compulsory purchase order has been issued for land and properties on the line of the bypass, Denis and Elizabeth have admitted they have "reluctantly" agreed a price with Lancashire County Council and will be moving out in the next few weeks.
"We've lived under the shadow of this for 22 years," declared Denis, who is sacrificing his home to make way for a road for the third time in his life. "We've had plenty of sleepless nights.
"I know there's nothing we can do to stop it. It's going to be a massive upheaval at our time of life, but we're going to have to do it.
"Our children have grown up in this house. It has been our family home for more than half a century. But when you live right in the path of a big road development like this you've no choice. It's pointless fighting it.
"We've agreed a price with the council and we have a property lined up just further down the road, so we aren't moving far."

The chief of head Department SBU in Kiev and Kiev region Colonel Stepan Greshchuk
Russian special services are trying to destabilize the situation in Ukraine, creating the so-called pseudohermitian community. This was stated by the chief of head Department SBU in Kiev and Kiev region Colonel Stepan Greshchuk in an interview with "Today".
As noted Greshchuk, nothing to do with the law of Ukraine on local self-government or the distribution of powers between Central and local authorities, these communities do not have, and exist only on paper.
"On behalf of certain individuals who call themselves commissioners of territorial communities, a kind of center are prepared and sent letters to almost all the authorities are local councils with the aim of diverting them from performing their functions. And among the population this will sow confusion in the issue of creating territorial communities. They are involved in your process a separate group of citizens who are conditionally appointed to the posts of heads of land resources and other departments, produce forms, seals and other attributes of power. All this is formal," he told greshchuk.

SBU also aware of the facts of the call for separatism in social networks, but according to the chief of head Department SBU in Kiev in recent times, such cases are rare, mass vote.
We will remind, earlier in SBU reported that Russia is preparing provocations with the aim of organizing early parliamentary elections in Ukraine.

On the non-existence of a Bartlett correction for unit root tests
There has been considerable recent interest in testing for a unit root in autoregressive models, especially in the context of cointegration models in econometrics. The likelihood ratio test for a unit root has non-standard asymptotic behaviour. In particular, when the errors are Gaussian, the limiting null distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic, W, is a certain functional of Brownian motion, rather than chi-squared. Moreover, numerical work has shown that the limiting distribution of W is not always a good approximation to the actual distribution. Consequently, there is a need for improved distributional approximations, and the question of whether W admits a Bartlett correction is of interest. In this note we establish that a Bartlett correction does not exist in the simplest unit root model.

WARSAW — Second acts are supposed to be an American specialty, but the career of Jerzy Buzek, Poland's former prime minister, is proof that the principle has wider application.
Buzek was recently chosen to be the head of the European Parliament — arguably the highest profile international job ever won by a Pole.
In his victory speech, Buzek said: "Today I take over the leadership of the European Parliament, something that I could not have even dreamt of in my country." Neither could many of his compatriots when Buzek left office as head of a deeply unpopular government in 2001.
Buzek, a gray-haired professor from the western coal mining region of Silesia, had been an unexpected choice for government head when the Solidarity Electoral Action party, uniting the former anti-Communist opposition, won power in 1997. The party leader, Marian Krzaklewski, who had no particular electoral program, decided to be a political backseat driver and pushed forward the relatively little-known Buzek.
Buzek, then a rather bland and colorless politician, embarked on major reforms to four institutions: regional governments, and the pension, education and health care systems. The reforms were needed and ambitious, but often badly thought-out — they plunged the country into chaos. Coupled with the fissioning of his party and frequent corruption scandals that plagued his government, Buzek stumbled to the end of his four-year term but he seemed to be finished as a politician.
The center-right party he had led collapsed in the 2001 elections, paving the way for a triumphant return of the ex-Communist left to power, and a defeated Buzek retreated to academic life.
When the ex-Communist government of former Prime Minister Leszek Miller became extremely unpopular thanks to corruption scandals that dwarfed anything seen in Buzek's time, the moderate Protestant began to be more fondly remembered. His ultimate salvation came through the unlikely avenue of European politics, often a haven for political has-beens and never-weres.
In 2004, when Buzek ran in Poland's first-ever vote for the European Parliament, he barely campaigned and still won 170,000 votes — the highest total in the country.
Five years later, Buzek again was the highest vote winner in the country, effortlessly pulling in 393,000 votes. This time around he ran as part of the ruling Civic Platform party, which used the election to promote the idea that Buzek should become the head of the European parliament.
The idea of pushing a Pole to the largely symbolic but very visible post even achieved the seemingly impossible task of uniting Poland's normally fractious political parties behind Buzek. From the ex-Communist left to the right-wing Law and Justice party, all of Poland's European members of parliament voted for Buzek.
"It's very good that a Pole became the head of the European Parliament," Adam Lipinski, the deputy head of Law and Justice and normally a foe of Buzek's Civic Platform, told the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper. "It increases Poland prestige, and besides, Buzek's heart beats on the side of Poland, and you have to take advantage of that."
Buzek's advance is part of a potential wider wave of Poles finding top jobs at international institutions as the country of 38 million takes its place in some of the world's most prestigious clubs. Although Radek Sikorski, the foreign minister, lost his long-shot bid to become the head of the NATO alliance, Marek Belka, a former prime minister, is one of the most senior officials at the International Monetary Fund.
Another former prime minister, the ex-Communist Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, is a serious candidate for becoming the secretary general of the Council of Europe, an organization integrating most of the countries of the continent.
Buzek has now become one of the most popular politicians in Poland, even rivaling the support received by Donald Tusk, the prime minister, in recent opinion polls. He is even being mentioned as a potential candidate in next year's presidential elections, although that seems to be a bit of a long shot.
The man himself seems to have little interest in returning to the Polish politics that almost destroyed him. Using an analogy from his coal mining home region of Silesia, he recently told the Polish edition of Newsweek: "If we call politics a mine, then in Poland I've worked below, and in Belgium and France I'm working up on top. I prefer working up there than working at the mine face."

CLEVELAND (AP) - Mike Wallace's speediest route may have been the one from Miami's locker room to the bus.
Following the Dolphins' 23-10 win Sunday over the Browns, an upset Wallace didn't want to discuss his forgettable debut with his new team. The lightning-fast wide receiver, who signed a five-year, $30-million free-agent contract with Miami in March after spending four seasons as Pittsburgh's over-the-top threat, was visibly upset after catching just one pass for 15 yards.
``Ask coach,'' was all Wallace offered when poked for comment.
Wallace was only targeted on three passes - none in the first half - by second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who completed 16 passes to Brian Hartline (9) and Brandon Gibson (7) in the win. Wallace was signed to help Tannehill, and he'll have 15 more games to live up to his contract, assuming, that is, the Dolphins make him a bigger part of the game plan than they did against the Browns.
The Dolphins won despite gaining just 20 yards rushing. Coach Joe Philbin acknowledged that formula won't work often.
``That's not a good way to live in the NFL, you've gotta have balance,'' Philbin said.
Wallace seemed to put his personal interests ahead of the team, but Tannehill said the speedster helped as decoy.
``They were clouding up on Mike, which was singling up Hartline on the back side, so it's kind of one of those things,'' said Tannehill, who played wide receiver at Texas A&M before switching to quarterback. ``It's frustrating for Mike but then it opens up the other side for Hartline.''
Wallace's situation is worth monitoring, and so will the days ahead for the Browns, who dropped to 1-14 in season openers since 1999 and disappointed a crowd brimming with optimism.
Here are five things to know from watching the Dolphins bash the Browns:
1. TANNEHILL'S TALENT: Miami's young QB displayed polish and poise.
He finished 24 of 38 for 272 yards and one touchdown, a beautifully thrown 34-yarder to Hartline in the third quarter. Tannehill waited for Hartline to make a second move on cornerback Buster Skrine before hitting him in stride down the left sideline.
But Tannehill shined most on Miami's game-clinching, 85-yard TD drive in the fourth. He completed 6 of 7 passes for 78 yards to set up Daniel Thomas' 1-yard plunge.
``Any quarterback's job is to get the ball in the end zone,'' Tannehill said. ``It felt really good, we got into a rhythm.''
2. WEEDEN'S WOES: Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden got treated roughly by Miami's defense and some Cleveland fans.
He threw three interceptions - two on deflections off receiver's hands - and was sacked six times. Weeden was officially hit 16 times by Miami's defense, which teed off on Browns second-year right tackle Mitchell Schwartz and fill-in right guard Oneil Cousins, who was called for two holding penalties, a false start and a hands-to-the-face infraction.
Weeden went 26 of 53 for 289 yards, respectable numbers. But he forced a few passes and heard scattered boos from Browns backers in the final minutes.
3. WAKE-UP CALL: Miami's Cameron Wake spent his afternoon in Cleveland's backfield.
He recorded 2 1/2 sacks, hurried Weeden several times and was arguably the best player on the field. Wake's pressure forced the Browns to keep a running back near Weeden for protection, but that didn't even work.
Wake is the leader of a strong, deep defensive line that includes rookie Dion Jordan, who registered his first career sack in the final two minutes.
``We have a lot of guys that can do a lot of things pretty well,'' Wake said. ``We have guys who can stand up, that can drop, rush the middle, rush the outside.''
4. MISERY LOVES COMPANY: Rob Chudzinski's debut as Cleveland's coach went the same way as it has for his six predecessors.
The Browns have not won in an opener for any of their first-year coaches since Bud Carson in 1989. Bill Belichick (1991), Chris Palmer (1991), Butch Davis (2001), Romeo Crennel (2005), Eric Mangini (2007) and Pat Shurmur (2011) all lost their first games with Cleveland.
The performance may have been an eye opener to Chudzinski and his staff, who have one of the NFL's youngest teams.
``There were points in the game where I thought we were going to get over the hump but we weren't able to do it,'' he said.
5. HOMETOWN HERO: Hartline is from just down the road in Canton, but he made Cleveland look like his backyard.
The former Ohio State wideout took advantage of the Browns' decision to focus on Wallace and finished with nine catches for 114 yards. In addition to his 34-yard TD, Hartline caught three passes on Miami's final TD drive.
``I was just trying to do my part,'' Hartline said. ``We started kind of slowly as an offense. We could have definitely gotten off to a better start. We kind of let the plays come to us, so I was there when the team needed us to move the chains. I had the opportunity to make a big play and I was able to do it.''

Since there is no string type in C how do read in a string? For example:
I want to prompt the user for the name of a file. Using the name of the file I want to open the file.
Since I won't know the name of the file in advance I can't store the characters in an array because I wont know the size of the string. Is there a function that does this that I don't know about?

Well this little beauty certainly surprised me! It is exclusively available at Tesco and fantastic value for money at £34.99.
With promises of upscaling normal DVDs to near HD quality, I was suprised, with such a low price, to find that this player does stick to those promises and provides a very clear picture. Scart lead and remote control are included.
The DVD player upscales standard definition DVDs to 1800p resolution and is compatible with MP3, CD/-R/RW, JPEG, DVD/R/+R/-RW, MPEG-4 and Xvid, extra features include picture zoom.
The DVD player is fantastic to look at, small and compact with a lovely shiny black top surface. Dimensions are 26.7cm x 4.5 cm x 25.8 cm. It has an LCD display which welcomes you and displays what you are doing whilst using, a nice little touch that makes it look very smart. It also has a touch sensitive display as well as the remote control, another smart touch. It certainly looks much more expensive then it is!
Worth noting that although this has a HDMI port, there is no HDMI cable included, so this would need to be purchased separately.
Money well spent!

Bob the triceratops has a new home
Valley City, ND (WDAY TV) - One of Valley City's oldest and boniest residents has a new home.
Bob the dinosaur is all put together tonight at the Barnes County Museum on Main Street. This after a few adjustments to get the big Triceratops through the front door.
It is now the new centerpiece of the Barnes County Museum in Valley City.
Everett Komrosky/ Helping with Bob: "It's awesome, it's big and beefy."
And Bob is more than just a bag of bones.
Alan Komrosky/ Paleontologist-Owner of Bob: "The fact is there's a lot of super glue you put inside these bones so we buy super glue by the case and by the gallon."
Bob is 65 million years old.
Alan Komrosky: "I'm very happy to have it here in Valley City"
Found in western North Dakota 11-years ago.
Alan Komrosky: "It's amazing, and then the fact that this is one of the largest one's ever found too."
Bob is Local dinosaur hunter Alan Komrosky 's baby.
A real modern stone-age family helping put it back together.
It has taken Alan 10 years to dig, clean and assemble Bob.
Alan Komrosky: "You don't get much bigger than this."
Bob the Triceratops has been for sale. A mere $1.4 million. A recent scheduled sale of Bob…
Alan Komrosky: "To Saudi Arabia"
Fell through and so the museum opened its doors...sort of, to Bob.
Initially there was a concern that Bob couldn't even find a home here at the museum. Size matters. At more than seven feet long, Bob's head was just too big. And so, the cabling and iron in the support system was adjusted so Bob could make it through the door.
Alan Komrosky: "It was no small feat"
Today, the last pieces of Bob put in place.Family, like nephew Everett Komrosky helped..
Everett Komrosky; "I don't know, I think it's more fun than going out to the lake and stuff. Like we have time to do it, but I'd rather be here than out there."
Ribs, scapulas.
Alan Komrosky: "Then we can finish with the larger bones"
One of the most complete Triceratops ever found.
Alan Komrosky: "It's been a major project."
One of the largest complete skulls on record.
Alan Komrosky: "It's here now and I hope it's here to stay."
Townsfolk here in Valley City watched Bob take shape.
No one is sure how long Bob will be here. The town wants him to stay. He has been around 65 million years in North Dakota....what's a few more?
Bob, the Triceratops, was found in the Hell Creek formation, on farmland near Bowman, North Dakota.

My neighbor threatned to call CPS on me just because my ds is doing chores pretty much night and day
It's spring break for him (he's 12) and last week I gave him a list of about 100 chores to do. He has all the time in the world to do them and he doesn't even have to do most of them if he doesn't want to, but I said I'd pay him 5-20 bucks for all the different ones.
He just wants this xbox thing and 2 games that cost a ridiculous amount so he's working almost night and day, a lot of time in the yard or on the house.
Now my neighbor just came over and said she knows what I've been doing and she's going to call CPS on me for child slave labor!
What do I Do? Is she crazy or do I stop him from doing so much?
No, there is nothing wrong with a kid working to make money. I think you are teaching him good values, and you shouldn't be ashamed.
He is old enough to explain he was doing the chores for extra allowance to buy Xbox games or whatever exactly it is. If CPS says anything at all they will tell you to cut back the chores to (x number of hours a day) and that's probably the worst they will do if everything else checks out ok.
I'm guessing she's giving him so many to do because, as she stated, he doesn't have to do any of them, but I'm sure some he'd prefer to do more than others so she's giving him the option of chosing.
Quoting Anonymous:
100 chores is excessive, and I'm guessing you already know that.
The last sentence was way too stupid for it not to be a troll, IMO.

Whatever troll.
A 12 year old painting a fence, and clearing weeds has to be a troll?
Don't worry about it. CPS will not take a kid away for doing chores. They will probably laugh, especially since he is being paid. LOL
So now chores is child labor?
Damnit i wish I knew that growing up...
Also, CPS encourages chores.
The last sentence was too obvious. If she's such a good parent to have her kids do chores (for whatever reason i.e. to build a good work ethic or to earn money to pay for a toy) then why would she be so stupid to worry about what a neighbor is saying? Just saying, I think chores are great and every kid should have them. Looks like she was trolling for people to jump on her ass for making her kid a list of 100 chores.
Quoting Anonymous:
Why would you think this was a troll? Because she is a good parent and making her child earn what they want instead of giving it to them? Because the crazy neighbor is saying they will report? What is wrong with you?

Subject: [FreeHelp] Adding another family line to web site +how?
Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 18:44:18 -0700
About a year or so ago, I successfully got a website up on Rootsweb that deals with one side of the family; I'd now like to generate another website that deals with an unrelated family line. Rootsweb allows only one account per customer because of the unlimited space; but how do you add on a whole other site? Is it necessary to make a link on my initial site? Is there a way to put up a free-standing site that doesn't require linking between sites? (which I would prefer.)
Any help greatly appreciated.

Kubota's Image Tools; Actionable Intelligence
Kevin Kubota has been putting together Actions for Photoshop for many years.
His latest releases add to the already incredible artistic inventory he has
made available to photographers and graphic artists alike. Just what are Actions?
Simply put, they are scripts or a series of steps to obtain a certain result.
If you were to create your own Action in Photoshop you would use the New Action
button, name it, and then click on Record as you go through the steps of what
you want to accomplish. You can also create certain "stops" within
the Action script to make adjustments for different images, as some Actions
that might work well with one image might have to be modified with another,
even though you want to obtain the same type of results.
The Kubota series of Actions, or as the company calls them, Image Tools, are easily installed. You insert the CD provided and drag it onto your hard drive, or simply desktop. You then open Photoshop and from within Photoshop the Actions palette. You then click on the arrow in the upper right and choose "Load," then simply open an image and choose the desired Action from the list, which now resides in your palette.
The group we got to play with included Artistic Tools Volume 1, Artistic Tools Volume 2, Sloppy Borders Volume 1, and Production Tools Volume 1. You can check out samples online at www.kubotaimagetools.com, where each set can be downloaded for $99. Briefly, Sloppy Borders includes 100 ready-to-use variations that can easily be customized and Production Tools is great for batch re-sizing, raw conversions, custom sharpening, and more. The Artistic Tools sets are what we will illustrate here.
The Action Sets
To get a sense of how it works we played with a variety of images using Artistic Tools Volume 1. Here's the Actions palette in Photoshop after we loaded the Actions from the Kubota CD. All you do is open the image you want to work with in Photoshop, then click on the Actions desired and off you go.
Layers Creation
The really cool thing about these Actions is that they create Layers and do not mess with the Background image. And because they are in Layers you can work in the Layers palette to customize them, and even work with Layer Masks to modify them as you wish.
Here's the original shot of buildings on New York City's West Side. Here's the image after applying the Black and White Edge Action (above). The Layers palette actually shows the steps in the Action script.

Carrying the torch passed on by Bob Marley himself, original guitarist Al Anderson and original keyboardist and background singer Tyrone Downie have united along with a group of handpicked musicians to honor the history and integrity of Bob's music with The Original Wailers.
Al Anderson (guitar) first joined Bob Marley & The Wailers in 1973, going on to play with Bob until his untimely death in 1981. Al was an integral part of the Bob Marley & The Wailers sound, forever imprinting his guitar solos and production skills on the catalog that has sold more than 75 million records and touched so many around the world.
Tyrone Downie first joined Bob in the mid 70's as a keyboardist, background singer and producer. Tyrone's footprint on the music is unmistakable, and his attention to detail as a producer was also a big part of the Bob Marley & The Wailers sound and success. After Bob's death, Tyrone has stamped his passport in stints with Beenie Man, Black Uhuru, Buju Banton, Peter Tosh, Junior Reid, Tom Tom Club, Burning Spear and Steel Pulse to name a few.
Let these two historically important musicians bring the magic and intensity of the legendary Bob Marley catalog to your next event with their powerful 2013 Grammy nominated 10 piece band, The Original Wailers…
Two Story Zori is a local island band out of Seattle, Washington consisting of 4 members from Guam, 1 from Hawaii and 1 from Vietnam. TSZ Band fuses the pacific islands, showcasing their culture and island reggae music to all in the Pacific Northwest. The band features an ukulele, guitar, drums, bass and keys.
TSZ is heavily influenced by Bob Marley, Katchafire, Rebel Souljahz, Tribal Seeds,Three Plus, Kolohe Kai, The Green and many many more island bands that share the same roots.
Two Story Zori strives to share the music of the islands in the mainland and continue to write original music that we all can groove to.
TSZ looks forward to one day tracing their roots back to the islands and playing for their people of Guam and Hawaii….until then, they are focused on creating new beats that'll make you skank the night away! TSZ always appreciates all of their fans for the love and support and coming to their shows……..Mahalo and Si Yu'us Ma'ase!

Jeff John Roberts (@jeffjohnroberts) of paidContent reports that like the New York Times the Financial Times is now making its content available through Flipboard.
Flipboard, a popular tablet reading platform for lawyers, enables users to draw on their social networks to assemble content from a variety of publications to create their own magazine-like experience.
The move comes as publishers realize how important it is to get their content to where people are consuming it and how they are consuming it.
The Flipboard partnership also reflects the fact that the FT and other publishers are keen to get their stories in as many places as possible at a time when readers are consuming more and more content on mobile.
From Rob Grimshaw (@r_g), the managing director of the Financial Times online:
I think the really interesting aspect to the platform is the way they're giving readers the ability to create a bespoke user experience. I personally think this is going to be a strong strand in publishing and consumption of news in the digital space.
As with the New York Times, which started publishing on Flipboard last year, you still need to pay an underlying subscription to get full access to the Financial Times. Non-subscribers get a very limited view.
What's the relevance to the law? Both law firms as well as traditional legal publishers (Wolters Kluwer, Thomson Reuters, ALM, LexisNexis) will need to start considering getting their stories and content where people are consuming content and in the format people are consuming content.
Neither law firms nor traditional publishers are going to be able to deliver content in an eloquent and effective fashion ala an innovative company like Flipboard can. Lack of resources for law firms, and lack of innovation for traditional legal publishers.
In addition, people consume content today in a curated fashion. It's coming from people they trust via solutions like Flipboard. Articles and stories from one source appear right along side those from another source.
Do you think law firms are going to run content from another firm on their sites and publishing solutions? How about Thomson Reuters doing so for LexisNexis?
Strong relevant content in the law will be every bit as important. It's the way the content is distributed and consumed that's going to change. Change dramatically.

Thanks for catching and fixing that. Apparently my mental state during patch creation was also 'mempty'! Wiki darcs template file updated with mempty. (Turns out mempty was not in scope, so patch sent to import Data.Monoid for man/xmonad.hs, too.) Added a few other updates to doc to make patch generation a little more worthwhile: * Updated ToggleStruts binding for mod-b, and left commented since xmonad-contrib may not be installed, * Used 'modm' instead of 'modMask' in bindings, since that shadowing can be confusing during irc troubleshooting.

Opinion Corner: Celebrating a squirrel? Say it ain't so
There is no greater goal among professional athletes than an opportunity to hoist a championship trophy and know you are among the best in the world. To have that small fortune of diamonds on your ring finger that lets the world know you are the best.
The St. Louis Cardinals front office believes it was more than great players, at the right time, with near-genius management. They decided in part to thank a glorified rat.
That's right, last week the Cardinals World Series rings were handed out, and above home plate on the side is the famous rodent who "captivated" millions.
In case you don't know, I'm writing about the Rally Squirrel, an American gray squirrel that made three appearances last year as the Cardinals rallied to an unlikely World Series Championship.
Well it was really four American gray squirrels that made "history" as the only group of varmints to help lead the way to postseason success. At least that's what a nation of Budweiser adoring rubes like to believe.
I can't believe how many thousands of people were duped into buying a tacky screen printed T-shirt with an acorn-eating rat on it.
Even Topps baseball cards are still fueling the fire of squirrel mania, as Cardinals fans slip further into dissolution regarding all the sheer luck one group of rats can carry.
A 2012 Skip Schumaker baseball card features a picture of the shortstop's ankle, as well as the famous varmint. Asking price on eBay on Monday afternoon? Buy It Now for $80.
Heads up fans! Better store your Rally Squirrel memorabilia next to those old Beanie Babies and my 401(k) and just wait for the value to skyrocket.
Why don't people remember the amazing exploits of Albert Pujols and David Freese? Where's the love for Tony LaRussa and his quasi-insane pitching changes. What about the unstoppable Jason Motte mowing down batters in the ninth with the ease of tying a shoe?
I pulled out more hair watching the Cards carve up Milwaukee due to in-the-clutch at bats and superior pitching. The most annoying thing I remember is the unwavering love for the squirrel.
Why is a group of fans so infatuated with a glorified rat? Is it because they are from St. Louis? Maybe. Or is it because St. Louis won't win another title, in any sport, for at least a decade? I think that's the one.
I may still be bitter, but there is no argument in sports that can't be solved by pointing to the number of championship trophies -- they have 11 -- second-most in the sport.
Back in 2002 we all had to endure being beaten over the head with the Anaheim Angels and their Rally Monkey. But that's California -- Hollywood, Disneyland and all the rest.
St. Louis is the hearty, down-to-earth Midwest. In short, you don't need a gimmick. You're better than that.

|Thanks for adding this deserving peak to SP. Good page, good photos.
Check this out.
"Those approaching from the Castle Creek TH pass Conundrum Hot Springs along the way. Fron the saddle it is a very short climb to the summit."
If I'm not mistaken, is there some missing route beta concerning the climb from the hotsprings to the saddle? Having spent some time in Conundrum Valley/Hot Springs I remember a steep talus laden slope that ascends to the saddle. It looked a bit loose as well, and maybe a good 1500-2000-ft of climbing. It did not look fun at all.
Have you ever been to the hotsprings? I was very unimpressed. To hike 16 miles RT to visit warm pools of slime, seemed a waste of time. These pools of crud are not "hot" they are luke warm, if that.
See Ya.

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich., July 13 (UPI) -- A Detroit-area woman has been charged with killing her son's former girlfriend while her 3-year-old grandson watched, police said.
Neighbors in Highland Park told The Detroit News the woman stood over Milah Perry as she bled to death Monday afternoon and then held off police for several hours. The older woman, whose name was not released, was arrested late in the afternoon.
Ernest Jones said he entered the house after hearing screams and followed a blood trail to the stairs to the basement. He said he saw Perry lying at the foot of the stairs, still alive and saying "Help me" while the other woman stood over her holding the ax up.
"Don't come here, or I'll chop her head off," he said the grandmother told him.
Jones said she told him she would not hurt the 3-year-old.
Friends said Perry, 26, was a student at Wayne State Community College and had two children. They said she was the mother of the 3-year-old and ex-girlfriend of the boy's father.
During the afternoon, the Highland Park Police chaplain led neighborhood residents in prayer, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Wu-Tang Clan is the closest thing rap has ever had to the Beatles. As Please Please Me kick-started the British Invasion and flipped the meaning of rock and roll on its axis, the Wu did the same for '90s New York rap. Featuring nine rappers gunning against the world, decapitating a soundtrack of creaky soul songs sinisterly repurposed by Wu mastermind RZA, 1993's Enter the Wu-Tang and the clan members' first five solo records comprised a hip-hop New Testament of sorts — albeit one that featured a lot more blunt smoking and sounded awesome when blasted in a Jeep. Yet if those albums are '90s rap's Gospels, GZA's Liquid Swords is all Old Testament. The purest distillation of Wu mythology to date, Swords is a prequel to Enter the Wu-Tang — the story of the Clan's Exodus-like wanderings through the burnt-out patches of all five NYC boroughs during the crack-ravaged Reagan years, each verse sketching a whirling world of internecine warfare and decaying, poverty-infested projects. When Swords — which GZA is performing in its entirety on this solo tour — was released in winter 1995, producer RZA declared his intent was to make people shiver in their cars, and more than a dozen years later, its permafrost production batters like gusts of spine-stiffening wind crashing into sheets of freezing rain.

Basic Photoshop question
I'm making a flat ebook cover.
I have the image and know how to add a layer for text to the image.
But what I would like to do is add a simple solid colored layer like a band that would cover the bottom 1/4 or 1/3 of the image and have my text appear in that area so it would show better.
I know how to add the colored layer. But how do I resize it so it only covers part of the image?
Please explain assuming I know nothing..becasue when it comes to PS I know next to nothing. :-)
Thanks, Ron

A 34-year-old Fort Washington man who forced his way into a Bethesda home, sexually assaulted a housekeeper and terrorized two residents at gunpoint was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison plus 220 years.
Kevin Darnell Ray was convicted in April of 14 crimes in the case.
Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge David A. Boynton called Ray "a citizen's worst nightmare" and said: "He's the monster that's lurking in the darkness." The judge said the "only appropriate sentence" was one without the possibility of freedom.
"He certainly isn't a candidate for rehabilitation," Boynton said, adding that he found it "shocking" that Ray had served so little time for past offenses, including manslaughter and armed robbery.
The defendant had an attorney during his trial but sat alone at the sentencing, having chosen to represent himself. Broad-shouldered and with a beard and shaved head, Ray sat impassively while the judge expressed disgust at the crimes. Ray spoke briefly, questioning the prosecution before telling the judge: "I'm good. You can go ahead and impose the sentence." Afterward, he was led away by several sheriff's deputies.
In their sentencing memorandum, prosecutors Peter Feeney and Eric Nee wrote that Ray has cases pending in Montgomery and Prince George's counties and the District on charges that include armed carjacking, rape, assault and bank robbery.
The prosecutors also made their case as to why the events that unfolded in a Bethesda home on Jan. 11, 2012, were so horrific.
About 6:45 a.m., the housekeeper arrived at the home, just north of the National Institutes of Health. She went inside, got a parking permit and opened the door to return to her vehicle. She didn't get far. Ray, wearing a ski mask, put a semiautomatic handgun to her head and forced her back into the house.
Then, according the prosecutors' filing, he forced a female resident of the house, her 14-year-old son and the housekeeper into a bedroom. He pointed his gun at all of them. He ordered the teenager to tie his mother's hands using a bathrobe belt. The boy purposely did a poor job, according to the prosecutors, which angered Ray, who tied the woman's wrists himself. He also tied the boy's hands with a karate belt.
"The defendant then shouted that he would shoot them if they talked," the prosecutors wrote.
Ray stole debit and credit cards. He then forced the housekeeper into a bathroom, where he ordered her to perform oral sex on him, according to prosecutors.
In their court papers, Feeney and Nee cited "overwhelming evidence" from the trial, including DNA analysis and video surveillance of Ray using one of the victim's stolen debit cards to get money from an ATM at the Bethesda Metro station.

LAS VEGAS—We've all heard—and can assume—that prevention is one of the best ways to cut down escalating health care costs. But employers haven't really jumped on the wellness bandwagon. But they should, Sean Sullivan, president and CEO of The Institute for Health and Productivity Management, urged attendees at NAHU's annual conference Monday.
"The hardest thing to change is behavior. You can't just talk about it; you have to actually do it," he said.
Here's how:
Understand that improving employee health also improves business performance. "People sometimes value their health benefits more than they value their job," Sullivan says. Health benefits, as well as prevention and wellness programs, are beneficial to both the employee and the employer. Health is human capital—just like knowledge and skills and motivation, he said. "Health needs to be valued by business—and it will when it's recognized as a demonstrable business value."
Work from the top down. Senior management must make employee health an integral part of corporate vision and values, he said. There are two simple tests for whether commitment to employee health has become part of the company vision and culture. One is if health management programs survived changes in leadership at the top, and two is if employee engagement in health programs remains high without the need for continuing financial incentives.
Share responsibility. Consider looking at wellness programs as a shared responsibility: The employee is responsible for personal behavior, the company is responsible for corporate policies, resources and tools, and the site is responsible for local culture and environment.
Be persistent. Think long-term, and make a long-term commitment. Make sure employees on all levels know what the health goals are.
Know your numbers. On a personal level, keep track of your weight, health numbers, health goals, etc. For employers, use corporate aggregate reports. "You'd be amazed to know that most large employers have no idea how many of their employees have diabetes," Sullivan said. "How can they measure their company's health without these numbers?"
Keep drilling information into employees. Keep giving your employees information—even when it's the same thing over and over again. Sullivan also suggested using mobile messaging, which is quick and easier to access than email marketing.

Dr. Chung has been living and working in Nairobi, Kenya and Hanoi, Vietnam since 2002. At these sites in Africa and Southeast Asia, he has been involved in HIV treatment and care, field epidemiology research, and medical education. He has led several randomized controlled trials on a variety of topic including perinatal transmission of HIV, adherence to antiretroviral medications, and treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among HIV-positive women. In 2004, Dr. Chung co-founded the Coptic Hope Center for Infectious Diseases, an HIV clinic in Nairobi which is one of the largest single-site antiretroviral treatment centers in Africa. He is the Director of the Treatment, Research, and Expert Education (TREE) program which is dedicated to addressing the health needs of people living in resource-limited settings through quality medical care, academic research, training and education. Dr. Chung's current interests include cervical cancer screening and treatment of HIV-positive women, education of health care workers in resource-limited settings through the internet, and HIV treatment of injection drug users in Vietnam.
Addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic by establishing centers that cater to the physical, psychological, nutritional and spiritual needs of those who have HIV/AIDS. The Hope Center, located in Nairobi, currently works with an average of 6,000 patients. The center is unique in that it provides all services free of charge.
Research Interests
Dr. Chung has conducted several randomized clinical trials in Kenya including examining the effects of antiretroviral drugs on breast milk shedding of HIV-1 and the consequences of behavioral interventions on adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). His research has generally focused on perinatal transmission of HIV-1 and delivery of HIV health services in resource-limited settings. Other research studies he is leading or coordinating include the efficacy of cervical cancer screening and treatment among HIV-positive women, the evolution of antiretroviral drug resistance among women exposed to perinatal nevirapine, and the effect of lamivudine monotherapy on chronic hepatitis B among HIV co-infected individuals.
In 2003, Dr. Chung established the Tumaini Project to treat indigent HIV-infected patients with free antiretroviral medications. With sponsorship from the Slum Doctor Programme in Bellingham, WA, he was able to treat over a dozen patients. Seeking a clinical setting to treat these patients, Dr. Chung helped the Coptic Hospital in Kenya establish the Hope Clinic, a free HIV care and treatment clinic. In 2004, this relationship led to a collaboration between the University of Washington and the Coptic Mission to provide free HIV care and treatment to Kenyans with support from the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). By 2009, over 10,000 HIV-infected Kenyans have received medical treatment at the Coptic Hope Center for Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Chung continues to treat patients in Nairobi.
Dr. Chung believes that educating Kenyans to provide care and treatment is necessary to meet the long-term health demands of the country. Towards this end, he conducts case conferences and journal club meetings at the Coptic Hope Center and Kenyatta National Hospital and mentors clinical officers and Internal Medicine residents and medical students at the University of Nairobi. He leads the UW in partnership with the University of Nairobi to teach HIV program management, health economics, and health informatics in an HIV management fellowship based in Kenya. Through this PEPFAR-funded fellowship program, Dr. Chung provides UW courses and lectures to Kenyans through live internet-based learning. Dr. Chung has helped pioneer this use of the internet to deliver UW academic courses to an international audience, building upon the principle that better medical education leads to better patient care.

So What's All The Buzz?
Bitcoins? Ethereum? Words that were barely mentioned last year (2016) by most of the major financial news sites such Forbes, Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Nasdaq, financial sections of the New York Times and Washington Post, etc. This year they're all reporting it constantly. The meteoric rise of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin which was up more than 180% this year. And even more impressive was Ethereum which was up by 2000%! Most analysts believe this is just the beginning of what they see as the financial opportunity of a lifetime.
This site has been receiving tremendous number of requests from our readers for a 'how to' on getting into this lucrative crytocurrency market. Here's our humble attempt to provide an easy 'how to' guide for buying your first bitcoin. Hope it helps! 👍
#1) First, Find an Exchange
The first step is to find an exchange that will accept your fiat currency (USD/EUR/GBP…) with a transfer method that is available to you. There are several such exchanges, some regulated some not, all over the world and it is highly advised that you check for yourself which one you trust with your money. Two of the most popular and convenient-to-use options that you can look into are Coinbase and localbitcoins.com.
COINBASE – Simply Put, The Easiest To Set Up & Use
Whether you're purchasing bitcoins, ethereum, or litecoins, pretty much everyone who buys and sells crypto coins online on a regular basis will tell you that Coinbase is the most convenient and 'easy to setup and use' option available. Currently there are over 8 million users from over 30 countries that utilize the service, including the US, Canada, most of Europe, Australia, Singapore, etc. And that number is still exploding. Payment methods such as credit card, debit card, and bank transfers (ACH) are available. Purchases made via credit/debit cards are usually instantaneous, while bank tranfers (ACH) could take anywhere from 3 to 5 days. Once a purchase goes thru, the coins are deposited into your online wallet at Coinbase. Visit their site for more details..
Localbitcoins.com – The Next Best Thing
Another option is to buy bitcoins with cash using Localbitcoins.com. Depending on the seller/provider, the options vary from a direct person-to-person exchange or making cash deposits at a local bank branch that the seller specifies. Sellers all have customer reviews and ratings so can check to see which seller you feel comfortable working with. Payment methods such as cash, Neteller, Webmoney, Skrill, Moneybookers, PayPal, Western Union and more are available.Like Coinbase, you'll have an online wallet thru your account that you'd open at Localbitcoins. Visit Localbitcoins.com
#2) Next, Get an Offline Wallet As Your Main Storage & Backup
Security: Online vs Offline Wallets:
Although you'll have an online wallet at exchanges such as Coinbase and Localbitcoins, most people prefer to download and store most of their coins to an offline wallet. The reason being that online exchanges have had their share of hacker break-ins in the past. (Mt Gox and Bitfinex for example, were hacked a few years back and most of the coins in these exchanges vanished.). So most bitcoiners feel it's best not to have all their coins sitting at an online exchange for too long. Just in case something like a 'Mt Gox' were to occur again.
Accesibility: Online vs Offline Wallets:
Online wallets that are under exchanges can also have access issues from time to time. Even trusted online exchanges such as Coinbase have had serious 'growing pains' this year in trying to keep up with the growing demand for bitcoins. This created a order 'bottleneck' which briefly crashed the site, making it inaccessible for a short while. And this has happened a few times.). So it's another reason why it makes sense to set up an offline wallet that you have complete access to 100%.
Types of Offline Wallets:
Software Wallet (Desktop or Mobile):
You can easily download the software from trusted sites such as Blockchain.info. For your mobile phone, you can download Blockchain's Bitcoin Wallet for iOS or Bitcoin Wallet for Android. Making transactions via mobile is a snap. These are all free btw. (You should always click on the option to encrypt your wallet once installed. This is very easy to do. It's just an option you'll see on your wallet's control panel.).
Hardware Wallet:
This is hands down the best way to go about storing your bitcoins long term. It is definitely the most secure way to keep it. If, heaven forbid, a hacker ever broke into your PC looking for bitcoins, it could mean adios to your coins. But this becomes impossible with a dedicated hardware crypto wallet. The 3 most popular options for this are Ledger Nano, TREZOR, and KeepKey. The size of a hardware wallet is pretty small. Usually the size of a USB thumb drive or flash drive.
Ledger supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, Dogecoin, Zcash, Dash, Ripple, Stratis, Komodo
KeepKey supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Dash and Namecoin.
TREZOR supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Ethereum Classic and ZCash.
Hope This Helps! 👍

Even in this age of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," Americans still love to hate the rich. So when a guy who makes $6 million a year is caught on tape spitting on a man who wears a blue-collared shirt for a living, it's a sure bet that the spitter's fight for public redemption will be difficult, if not impossible.
That's what's facing Roberto Alomar, the Cleveland Indians second baseman who is widely considered one of the all-time great middle infielders. When the sun sets on his career, Alomar will most likely be remembered more for a regrettable and highly regretted 1996 spitting incident than for any of his on-the-field feats.
Alomar was the John Rocker of the 1996 election cycle, a baseball player who'd done something so socially reprehensible as to call for a national morality check and force political candidates to take sides. The vice presidential contenders of the day, Al Gore and Jack Kemp, sounded off on what a bad example Alomar, then with the Baltimore Orioles, set by spitting in the face of umpire John Hirschbeck. Likewise, both George W. Bush and Al Gore have denounced Rocker, the Atlanta Braves pitcher, for his well-publicized invectives against gays, ethnic minorities and foreigners.
This invites the question: Just when did athletes become America's moral yardsticks? It seems that at some point sports figures were transformed from the faultless giants of weekly newsreels to public dartboards who embody and amplify all that's wrong with society. Sure, other public figures, such as actors and politicians, are also more open to media censure than they were in decades past (just imagine the wreckage that would have ensued had the current Washington press corps been able to sink its hooks into the womanizing ways of JFK), but pro athletes, compared to politicians and entertainers, are less insulated from the press and far less media-savvy.
To see just how high the chips are stacked against pro athletes' generating positive off-the-field publicity, consider the happy ending lurking deep in the shadows of the Alomar-Hirschbeck saga. The season after the spitting incident, Alomar sought Hirschbeck out during a game, shook his hand and apologized. In the years since, Alomar has become a leading benefactor of the charity Hirschbeck established to research adrenoleukodystrophy, the brain disease inherited by his two sons. The player and ump now consider one another friends. During a game May 20, reporters spotted Alomar hugging 13-year-old Indians batboy Michael Hirschbeck, John's son, in the Indians dugout.
But while the spitting incident made national news, inspiring damning op-ed pieces across the land Denver's Rocky Mountain News said the incident proves that "standards for personal behavior have been lowered so far that the bar's in the dirt" coverage of these more typical Alomar activities has been sporadic at best. The image of Alomar spitting, a brief transgression that occurred in a moment of rage, appears to be what will endure.
Professional athletes may have brought much of the censure on themselves by changing their relationship with the fans. "There's a level of intolerance with athletes in general right now because of free agency and the fact that the average person can't relate to the salary professional athletes make," says Richard Lapchick, director of Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society. "Not only are these guys making all of this money, but because of free agency they're always switching teams. It breeds resentment among fans."
Lapchick says a secondary, possibly unintentional, motive may lie behind the press's emphasis of the negative. "There's a political correctness in the press that dictates that white people don't say anything bad about people of color," says Lapchick, arguing that newspaper sports sections and nightly news sports segments offer the media a release valve for reporting the types of racially charged stories that have become taboo. "In the first 80 pages of a newspaper, writers feel they can't report anything that reflects badly on minorities. So on our sports pages we're regularly reading about athletes who commit violence against women, but the stories don't mention that over 8,000 such acts occur across the country each day. Or that the rate of spousal abuse among professional athletes is actually lower than it is for society at large."

The athlete was arrested on Thursday after his girlfriend was shot dead at his home in Pretoria. He has been charged with murder and remains in custody. Model Reeva Steenkamp was reported to have been dating Pistorius for a year. Pistorius, who races wearing carbon fibre prosthetic blades after he was born without a fibula in both legs, was the first double amputee to run in the Olympics and reached the 400 metre semi-finals in London 2012. Police revealed this was not the first time they had been called to the athlete's home. He is due to appear in court again on Friday. © DailyMotion - Thursday, February 14, 2013

Vinehout praised for candor in Leader-Telegram editorial
State Senator Kathleen Vinehout (D-Alma) gets praise from her hometown newspaper for speaking out against the Democratic Party's leadership attempting to force her to accept a bad budget:
Most news releases and columns from state lawmakers repeat the party line so carefully that you know what they say before you even read them … if you read them at all.
But along came state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, this week with a column, "Change the Culture in the Capitol," that is jaw-dropping in its candor and criticism of the way things work in Madison.
"This week members of the Assembly are scheduled to vote on the budget," Vinehout wrote. "Behind the scenes members are told, 'This budget is bad. We need to pass it as quick as possible and get out of town.'
"In the Capitol, the culture is one of a few making the decisions and the many having their arms twisted to go along with the deal," she added.
Anyone paying attention knows Vinehout's analysis is pretty much right on. What's highly unusual is for someone on the inside to admit the hypocrisy her colleagues try so hard to gloss over. It's doubly refreshing coming from someone in the majority party.
We discussed the Vinehout statement against her party's leadership as well as the unusually strong statement to the contrary from Majority Leader Russ Decker's legislative aide Carrie Lynch.
We'll see if the independence of mind for which she is being praised translates into a rejection of the proposed state budget.

Soundkeeper Terry Backer used his impressive, long record as an advocate for healthy marine ecologies to promote a reduction in the commercial catch of Atlantic menhaden. One of the most important fish species in the U.S., menhaden are consumers of plankton and plant detritus and are fed upon by many important species of predatory fish, mammals and birds. The problem is the adundance of Atlantic coastal menhaden has declined almost 90% in the past 25 years. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) recently voted to reduce commercial catch by 25% from 2011 levels, which will help keep approximately 300 million menhaden in the water next year so they can fulfill their fundamental role in the food web.
Backer attended and spoke at public hearings on menhaden in Bridgeport and placed calls to key Connecticut officials which influenced the outcome of the ASMFC decision in the menhaden's favor. According to Peter Baker, Director of the Northeast Fisheries Programs for the Pew Environment Group, Backer gave an "essential contribution to the effort to conserve Atlantic menhaden, which no doubt prompted the ASMFC to carefully consider its position and move toward science-based management of this critical species. . .This was an historic and potentially transformative victory"!

Sympathy for the devils
Before we rush to criticize local governments like the cities of Waukesha and Milwaukee for banning guns in city buildings, let's try to put ourselves in their shoes. I think most of us would cringe at the thought of Miles Kristan, or any of his companions, having a concealed weapons permit. I'm sure if we knew about a few of the local locos we would cringe as well.
Actually, having dealt with some of the local locos in Waukesha, yeah, the thought of them having a gun at city hall makes me cringe.
I understand both sides of the debate, including the city employees who would like to be able to defend themselves. I'm not going to criticize those municipalities that decide to allow permitted concealed carry on the municipal premises, either.
For those that would try to make this a big issue I think they would be better served by a healthy dose of perspective.
(And as I predicted, the issue has been remarkably quiet in Waukesha.)

Colleen Kingeter's Stuffrooms
Mushrooms with Pecorino, Basil, and Garlic
- Ingredients
- step-by-step directions
Colleen Kingeter's Stuffrooms
- 6 Jumbo Button Mushrooms
- Olive Oil
- Salt and freshly Ground Pepper
- Onion (diced)
- 4 cloves Garlic (smashed and minced)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dried Basil
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flavored Breadcrumbs
- 1/3-1/2 cup Pecorino Cheese (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Italian Parsley (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Chicken Stock (plus more as needed)
- Parmigiano Reggiano (shaved to serve)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the stem from the mushrooms, and dig out the flesh from stem's base a to create a well for stuffing. Finely mince the stems and flesh from the mushrooms, and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the onion with a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent, adding the garlic after two minutes. Add the dried herbs and sauté until they bloom, about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Add the minced mushrooms so they brown a little. Toss together and season, cooking another minute or two, until mushrooms have softened, and then remove from heat.
- In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, pecorino, parsley, pepper, and a pinch of salt, and chicken stock. Add the breadcrumb mixture to the pan with the onions and mix everything together until thoroughly combined. Adjust the texture with more olive oil or chicken stock until the mixture has a stuffing consistency.
- Stuff the mushrooms with the mixture, packing well and rounding off the top of the mushrooms with a spoon. Arrange the mushrooms on a lightly oiled baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened. Top with shaved parmigiano reggiano and drizzle with olive oil just before removing from oven to serve.
