This patent arises from a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/359,822, which was filed on Feb. 22, 2006 (now U.S. Pat. No. 7,633,951) and is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/141,370, which was filed on May 8, 2002 (now U.S. Pat. No. 7,046,671). Both U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 11/359,822 and 10/141,370 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
The present disclosure relates generally to wide area networks and more particularly to Ethernet wide area networks and methods.
Ethernet (IEEE 802.1D(2)) is the technology that dominates the local area networking market. As a result this technology is inexpensive and well known by most users. There has been an interest in using Ethernet technology for wide area networks. Unfortunately the technology purposefully has a number of built-in limitations. For instance, IEEE 802.1D(2) limits the maximum diameter as seven hubs. When the number of hubs exceeds the maximum diameter, the topology updates sent using BPDU (Broadcast Protocol Data Units) packets may never reach their intended nodes. As a result, such nodes may become isolated even though they are physically connected to the network. Another problem arises due to the MAC (Medium Access Control) address awareness requirements. Each bridge node in a spanning tree must be aware of all the MAC addresses and their locations in the spanning tree. In a wide area network (WAN) this results in the storage of huge numbers of MAC addresses and becomes technically and economically infeasible for large WANs. Thus there exists a need for an Ethernet wide area network and method that overcomes these limitations.
An Ethernet wide area network has a number of interconnected network Ethernet switches. A first local area network has a first local area Ethernet switch and is connected to one of the interconnected network Ethernet switches. A second local area network has a second local area Ethernet switch connected to a second of the interconnected network Ethernet switches. The network Ethernet switches include a translation table from a network address to a MAC address. This table allows for translation between network addresses and MAC addresses and this reduces the size of the spanning tree.
After the root node discovers its maximum diameter, the value is recorded at the root node and can propagate to all other bridge nodes on a request basis. The maximum diameter discovery algorithm may be executed periodically depending on the frequency of the network topology changes. In another embodiment, a timer governs the frequency of the execution of this algorithm. In another embodiment, the algorithm is executed every time the spanning tree is recalculated or any new bridge node participates in the bridged network. A delay timer postpones this discovery execution until the spanning tree converges in one embodiment. This avoids unnecessary overload of broadcast traffic on the network. The same diameter discovery algorithm is executed in the WAN to determine the diameter of the WAN.
Any node may request the root node to provide the maximum network diameter via a simple inquiry protocol. A bridge node receives a BPDU propagated from the root bridge that has the root bridge address. A specific inquiry PDU is formed to learn the maximum diameter information from the root. This PDU has a protocol identifier that signals the root of the inquiry and a bridge identifier that identifies the initiating bridge node. The return PDU answers the maximum diameter and forwards it to the originating bridge node of the inquiry.
At each WAN service interface, the maximum diameter of the connecting LAN must be registered with the WAN. The service interface, which behaves as a virtual bridge node, should trigger the diameter discovery with the root node in LAN.
The service interface is responsible to relay and respond to the root node the diameter of the virtual bridge that represents the WAN transparent LAN services. All service interfaces should have updated diameters of the connected LANs. Each service interface may request the diameter from the WAN.
The virtual bridge diameter calculation is based on the following set of parameters according to IEEE 802.1D and IEEE 802.1w: WAN diameters; near-end LAN maximum diameter; far-end LAN diameters; default hello time; maximum bridge transit delay; maximum BPDU transmission delay; maximum message age increment overestimate; and default hold time.
The local address translation function involves mapping a MAC address to a network address (e.g., IP address).
The root node non-competition function is a function that selects a MAC address of a service interface connected to a LAN root node to have a lower priority than the root node.
The translation table is a mapping between a MAC address to a network address (e.g., IP address).
The MAC address re-mapping function includes replacing a source host MAC address at a service interface with an ingress service interface MAC address for an inbound packet. Note an inbound packet is a packet headed from a LAN to the WAN. The MAC address re-mapping function further includes replacing an egress service interface MAC address with a destination host MAC address. This re-mapping function reduces the number of required MAC address that need to be learned. The re-mapping requires the network address of the destination in order to perform the re-mapping.
Thus there has been described an Ethernet wide area network and method that overcomes the limitation that do not allow nationwide or international Ethernet networks. In addition the invention overcomes the size limitations for Ethernet networks.
The methods described herein can be implemented as computer-readable instructions stored on a computer-readable storage medium that when executed by a computer will perform the methods described herein.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alterations, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications, and variations in the appended claims.

What a week!
It's been an incredible week. On our visit to Mom at the hospital on Monday we were told that she was going to be moved to a nursing home on Thursday: Oudtburgh, in Bergen. I had really been hoping room would be found there, since I'd heard so many good things about Oudtburgh from friends who had family members there.
Then on Tuesday morning Caitlan called us at 6:30 to announce that she had given birth to a baby girl -- Lux Avalon Plooster. All had gone extremely well. We planned on going down to Rotterdam later in the day and spent several hours with Cait and Björn and Lux. It was hard to let go of Lux, and almost impossible to stop looking at her.
On Wednesday I spent much of the day preparing to get Mom moved to Bergen: washing clothes, packing and writing up a brief biography of her life for the nursing staff there. Jim printed two large photos of Lux and Cait and brought them in for her. She was simply beside herself. Cait and I thought this birth was something she had really been waiting for, every day. Even before the stroke she kept saying to me, "I have to make it until April," and it seemed so unlikely that she wouldn't. But she must have had some kind of inkling.
Thursday morning we went to the hospital, where Mom was dressed and ready to go. All her things had been packed up. The photos of Lux and Cait were prominently displayed on the table, and the nurses all came in to say good-bye and to admire her beautiful great-granddaughter. The speech therapist came in and had a chat. She said to Mom, "There's going to be a speech therapist at Oudtburgh, too, you know," and Mom answered, rather sarcastically and dismissively, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." It sounded funny and we all laughed, but it indicates how little motivation she has to attempt any rehabilitation.
The wheelchair taxi took us out through the fields to Bergen, which is located near the national dune reservation and very close to the sea. A beautiful spot. We were greeted by Eva, a young woman in charge of my mother's group of residents. There are 180 residents at Oudtburgh, broken down into groups of 10. For every 10 residents there's a small parlor/dining room and kitchen area, where they can eat together and sit. Lots of sun, very quiet and peaceful. We were introduced to some of the ladies sitting around a table, and when Eva asked if any of them spoke English one of them said, "I do!"
Mom's room is small but sunny, with a wooden bed so it doesn't look like a hospital room. Plenty of room to store clothes and other things, a bulletin board and a cabinet with a glass door for knick-knacks. We set up the big photo of Lux right away, which made her happy.
She was completely exhausted, so we got her into bed (she can't do this herself anymore) and she was glad to be there. Then Eva talked with us privately about the details of living at Oudtburgh and showed us around. It's a very comfortable feeling place. The staff don't wear uniforms and it doesn't feel therapeutic. There's a large café, a barber shop, and even a bar. A large garden is being built out in the front, but it's still under construction.
We walked back to the center of Bergen for lunch (about a 15-minute walk) and took the next bus back to Alkmaar.
On Friday we biked out to see how Mom was doing. It's about a half-hour bike ride. She was seated at a table in her little parlor with two gentlemen residents. It's hard to imagine her isolation -- not only can't she speak Dutch, but she can't speak at all. I've read that stroke victims often become depressed if their lives are radically altered. This kind of situation really calls for an inordinate degree of resolve and positive thinking, neither of which she seems to have right now. The people who work in nursing homes are accustomed to this, of course, and they'll certainly have some tricks for energizing a despondent lady. I hope.
We took her to the café so she could eat with us, and we all had sandwiches. She ate part of her sandwich and had a cup of coffee. We suggested taking her for a little walk to see the building, but she didn't want to go. She just wanted to go back to her room and sit. So Jim said, "How about we just see one new thing, and then go back?" and she agreed. So we showed her the bar, which is built like a traditional old Dutch "brown café," panelled in dark brown wood. We told her someday we'd come out later on in the day and have a beer with her, and she really liked that. But she wanted to go back to her room. When we left she looked tearful.
We're going to try to arrange to bring her TV out so she can see some English language programs. I'm glad the rehabilitation work will soon begin. This means a daily program will be created for her so she'll be occupied with the work of getting better. Even if she's dismissive and unmotivated, at least it fills your day!

I was just talking the other day to someone about this thing that happened in our Texas Senate. It's as if the Republican Party has decided to take it's direction straight from the Taliban's play book.
I really thought this whole issue of abortion was behind us. That the people in this country were sensible enough to understand that it is better that abortions take place where it's safe and clean than in back alley underground places.
I thought they understood that Planned Parenthood was a sole source of health care for many people who could not afford it otherwise.
But the good people of this state have lost their minds and their vision. Women have had the right to vote for just under 100 years. I'm no longer convinced that that right is secure.
This photo really does say it all, doesn't it? He's an idiot cowboy who likes to play with guns and believes women should be at home barefoot and pregnant.

He could be driving the right way according to law, but he wrong way for him.

Good one. Like it..............

AIDS-Associated Syndromes (Advances in Experimental Medicine & Biology)
This is the proceedings of the International Conference on AIDS Associated Syndromes held at Irvine on December 7-8, 1984. The purpose of this conference was to bring together investigators who are actively engaged in AIDS research to present their most recent data with regard to etiological agent(s) of AIDS, immunological characteristics of some of the patients in early stages of AIDS and various therapeutical modalities that are available for the treatment of AIDS, early AIDS (persistent generalized lymphadnopathy) or for those who demonstrate asymptomatic acquired immunodeficiency. In the area of etiological agents, the discussions are presented dealing with the questions of whether HTLV III/LAV alone or with other co-factor(s) like EBV or CMV are responsible for AIDS. What is the relationship of these viruses to Kaposi's sarcoma, since Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS cannot be simply explained on the basis of the underlying immune deficiency? Data are presented for HTLV III/LAV interactions with the T4 molecule on the surface of helper T cells. A paper is presented with epidemiologicai evidence for AIDS being an African disease which perhaps was brought to the United States and then to Haiti.

St. Paul Saints celebrating final season at Midway Stadium
Sunday featured the kind of night they'll miss in the industrial part of St. Paul.
As gray clouds hovered over an 80-degree day in the Twin Cities, Saints third baseman Joe Bonfe drove in the tying and winning runs in the seventh inning of a 3-2 victory over Sioux Falls. A 5,953-strong crowd took it in, some intent on the action, others amused by the team's infamous "Usher-tainers," others happy to sip a beer in the outfield and catch up with old friends.
Afterward, fireworks lit up the sky as children ran the bases and people of all shapes, sizes and ages munched on food truck-provided fare.
The independent minor-league baseball club's executive vice president and general manager Derek Sharrer soaked it all in, knowing there aren't too many more evenings like this left on the Midway Stadium docket.
But he wasn't melancholy.
"The nostalgia really leads to excitement," Sharrer told FOXSportsNorth.com. "It's not the kind of nostalgia where you get sad and emotional about saying goodbye."
Barring a hoped-for playoff appearance, Saints fans, players, coaches and staff have between now and the team's Aug. 28 home finale to pay their respects to the old ballpark on Energy Park Drive. Once the season's over, the fun-loving franchise will clear out and turn the property over to the St. Paul Port Authority, which in turn will begin marketing it to real estate investors.
The Saints, meanwhile, will prepare for life in their new, modern digs currently rising out of the ground in Lowertown St. Paul. The $63 million stadium project will feature all the trimmings of an up-to-date, amenities-aplenty venue that vaults the historical franchise into modern baseball times.
But it'll never have the quaint, backward charm of Midway. No crumbling murals, no splintered wooden concession points of sale and themed group outfield seating, no trains passing behind the outfield wall.
Which is why the 22-year-old epitome of minor-league pageantry will spend the year's hottest months honoring its longstanding home field in ways only the Saints can concoct.
"We're just, in general, approaching the entire season as a celebration of Midway Stadium," said Sharrer, in his 11th year as the organization's general manager.
They've branded it "The Last Train to Midway" in recognition of the engines that roll through behind left field, to which fans have customarily yelled "train!" during the Saints' 22-year tenure at the stadium. It began May 16 with a reincarnation of a "Mime-O-Vision" promotion first deployed in 1993, St. Paul's inaugural season, where mimes served as an instant replay mechanism by standing on top of the dugouts and re-enacting the previous play on the field.
Saints lore says the fans that night grew so fed up with the mimes they began hurling hot dogs at them. "It was the top-selling hot dog night in ballclub history," Sharrer cracked.
Fans this time around were more amicable — no wiener slinging.
Unless they make the postseason, the ride will end with the Saints' final home stand Aug. 26-28. Pig mascot Mudonna will be joined by other Minneapolis and St. Paul teams' costumed characters to help her move into her new pen Aug. 27, and another food truck rally and fireworks show will coincide with appearances from local politicians and dignitaries for the team's last home game at Midway on Aug. 28.
In between, promotions from years past will be resurrected. New ones will be promulgated.
Most of them, Sharrer said, will have a Midway-type theme.
On July 12, they'll honor the 2004 Northern League championship team. Aug. 16, they'll give away a vinyl compilation of original, Midway and Saints-inspired tracks by local musicians. Aug. 27, the first 1,500 fans through the gates will receive a lithograph of the 1993 Any Nelson mural that graces the ballpark's outer facade.
Nelson painted the stadium scene shortly before St. Paul began play at Midway, built in 1982 and originally known as Municipal Stadium. More than two decades later, the building's charm has faded against a backdrop of run-down facilities, long bathroom lines and outdated amenities.
Construction of its replacement, Sharrer said, "is right on schedule."
Located on Fifth and Broadway Streets in the heart of Lowertown, the site now reveals the shape of the seating bowl, dugouts and the general shape of the diamond and outfield. Turf will be inserted by this fall, Sharrer said, and the team will move into its new home in February if everything goes as planned.
By this time next year, the Saints will be gathering fans at a new Mecca of minor-league shenanigans.
About 350 people that have held season tickets since the club's inception were given first priority for seats in the new ballpark. The team's ticket office recently finished taking care of all previous season ticketholders — with about a 99-percent retention rate, Sharrer said — and next month will begin marketing season-ticket packages to potential new members.
But the club hasn't "checked out of Midway Stadium yet," Sharrer said. "We wanted to be sure that we did things here at Midway and with Midway that make people feel like we're still investing in their experience."
So on the zany in-game festivities that define this franchise will go. It even added a Von Hanson custom bratwurst stand and a drink menu featuring part-owner John Schumacher's "beer shakes" this season.
Because in the end, Sharrer said, it's the people that have made Midway what it is; not the other way around.
"This is a special place when it's full," he said. "It's a special place when it has thousands of people in it laughing and conversing and having a great time. There's definitely some nostalgia that comes with the experience, but we're also excited to see that experience translate over to the new ballpark.
"The new ballpark is going to deliver the same experience, because it's going to be the same people walking through the gates."

The year has gone by quickly.
Here is the first card that I made, while in Chicago, using bits that I'd brought with me. I decided that the last one of the year should have a similar look to it. I used the map and random letters but instead of a postage stamp I used found negatives.

Spotlight Project
In rural communities in the Andean highlands of Ecuador, most families live with dirt floors in their homes, lacking any type of hard flooring. In addition to being uncomfortable, this living environment poses health risks for families, especially young children and can lead to a host of preventable diseases. In addition to the health concerns, dirt floors are impossible to clean and become even more of a risk during the rainy season which turns the floors to mud. For our focus project, we work alongside local families to install concrete floors in their homes, providing them with a clean and healthy living environment that will transform their lives.
Program Overview
Experience one of the world's most remarkable destinations complete with towering mountain ranges, verdant rainforests and tropical isles on this unique Ecuador & Galapagos summer service program. Explore the incomparable Galapagos Islands, paddle its mysterious caves and canyons and snorkel alongside playful sea lions. Live and work with Andean villagers as together you rebuild their homes to improve their living environment. Navigate the thrilling rapids of the Toachi and Blanco Rivers in the Andean Rainforest. Lead a summer camp for Ecuadorian schoolchildren and partner with a local tree nursery to assist in a reforestation project. Visit the famous Otavalo market filled with native handicrafts and sample typical Ecuadorian treats like potato llapingachos. Appreciate the bounty of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands through the eyes of those who call it home.

Program Details
Quito and Whitewater Rafting
We begin our Ecuador & Galapagos summer service program in Miami where we board a plane bound for Quito, a city surrounded by volcanoes. We explore this breathtaking capital city of the ancient Incan Empire before we receive an orientation in local customs. We also straddle two hemispheres with a visit to the World Equator Line. We travel west where our journey continues on the Rios Toachi and Blanco, which offer us exhilarating rapids through a picturesque rainforest environment.
Otavalo Market & Andes Village Service
We visit the sprawling, colorful native market of Otavalo and can support local artisans by purchasing handicrafts and other goods. We begin our first service project in a rural community in the Andes Mountains. We work alongside the community to improve much needed infrastructure for the school and community members. We'll also have the opportunity to tutor local schoolchildren and take part in soccer games on the community field. Our time here ends with a hike to Lake Cuicocha with the community members. With the impressive Avenue of the Volcanoes as a backdrop, we celebrate all the work we have done.
Quitugo Village Service & Hot Springs
We stop for a relaxing and much deserved soak in the local hot springs, fed by the surrounding volcano. We begin our next service project in the rural Andean village of Quitugo, installing concrete floors in the homes of local families. In our downtime we spend time with the children, teaching English through activities, songs, and play. We find that our volunteering directly and positively impacts the lives of the residents and brings us true insight into Ecuadorian culture.
Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands guarantee an adventure of a lifetime. We swim, snorkel and mingle with prehistoric lava lizards, flamingos, blue-footed boobies, baby sea lion pups, dolphins, and playful penguins. Our evenings are spent exploring the local island communities. We visit the Charles Darwin Research Center and learn about the importance of the islands and the wildlife in our history. Island hopping highlights include kayaking the rocky coastline, visiting a giant tortoise breeding ground, swimming with sea lions at San Cristobal, and snorkeling in the beautiful Tortuga Bay. Our Ecuador & Galapagos summer service program concludes with a flight back to Quito for our final evening celebration and then on to Miami.

Group Journal Excerpts
Below you will find several Group Journal excerpts, written by ARCC students during the Ecuador & Galapagos summer service adventure.
Galapagos Service & Wildlife!
So far, our experiences in the Galapagos have been incredible. On Saturday, we embarked on a beautiful snorkeling adventure.

Common Questions
What is the packing list for this program?
Each program has a specific packing list that has been designed to fit the program's activities, length, climate and cultural differences. Please click here to view the Ecuador/Galapagos: Island & Village Impact packing list.
What is the weather like in Ecuador?
In Ecuador the weather is a lot like Florida in the summer time. During the day it can be hot, sunny and humid (80's-90's) and late afternoons often bring showers, which will cool us off. You will often go to bed with only a simple cover as it is warm enough to sleep without your sleeping bag. While at a higher altitude (Quito) the temperature is a bit cooler (60's). In the Galapagos, the weather will be quite warm and tropical.
What are the service projects like?
ARCC has been operating programs in Ecuador for several years, and we have built relationships with a variety of individuals and small communities who enjoy hosting ARCC student groups. The specific service projects that each group will work on depend on what is most needed in these communities at the time. This year we will be installing concrete floors into the homes of the villagers, partnering with a local tree nursery to assist on a reforestation project, and putting on a summer camp for Ecuadorian schoolchildren.
What kind of health precautions should I take before traveling to Ecuador?
Ecuador is a relatively clean and safe place to travel. However, ARCC does recommend that you take some health precautions before your trip to Ecuador. When you enroll in the program, you will receive more complete information on pertinent travel vaccinations and immunizations. Please also refer to the Traveler's Health section of the CDC website. Our leaders carry a full first aid kit, and are all certified Wilderness First Responders (WFR).
Where do we sleep?
During this program we sleep in a variety of accommodations: a hostel in Quito, small simple hotels in Mindo and the Galapagos, and rustic community buildings in two small Andes villages.
What is the transportation like once we are in Ecuador?
While in Ecuador, we will be travel by private bus with a professional driver and by boat. We will also travel to and from the Galapagos on a commercial airliner.
What is the food like?
We will have the opportunity to sample traditional Ecuadorian cuisine such as chicken, fish, rice, plantains, soups and fresh fruit. We will also be cooking our own meals while we are staying in the rural communities.
How much spending money should I bring?
For Ecuador/Galapagos, ARCC recommends that you bring an additional $225 of spending money. You should bring this money in the form of cash (small bills are best) and also bring an ATM/debit card with you. Ecuador uses the US dollar!
As with any international program, we strongly recommend talking to your bank about its international withdrawal policies to avoid any surprise fees or card cancellations.
Do I need a passport?
Yes, all students traveling to Ecuador need to have a valid passport. Please make sure the passport expiration date is at least six months after you travel. Passport applications are available at the post office. If you do not already have a passport, you should apply for one as soon as you enroll in this program. It normally takes six weeks to process a passport application.
Do I need a visa?
No. US Citizens do not need a visa for this program.
What is the time difference between Ecuador and the Galapagos and the USA?
During the summer, mainland Ecuador is 1 hour earlier than New York and 2 hours later than San Francisco and the Galapagos islands are 2 hours earlier than New York and 1 hour later than San Francisco.
Do I really need to bring a backpack, or can I bring a rolling suitcase on this program?
Although you will not be doing traditional backpacking on this program, it is important that you bring a backpack as your main piece of luggage. During the program the group will be navigating through airports, on and off buses, up and down stairways, and taking short hikes on unpaved paths. The group will be able to move much more efficiently if everyone is carrying their belongings on their back.
Do I need to speak Spanish to join this program?
No. You will be able to participate in all the activities even if you do not speak any Spanish. However, if you study Spanish in school, you will have many opportunities to practice your language skills with the locals you encounter during your program. Having some basic conversational skills will enable you to form stronger bonds with the local people you will be meeting and helping.
What kinds of goods and supplies can we bring to donate for the people we meet?
We have the chance to live amongst some people who have the very basics for survival. With education being a tool to better their lives, basic school supplies are welcomed with open arms. Pens, pencils, notepads, and books are widely accepted. Soccer balls are also an incredible way to cross the cultural border and share smiles. Because of limited space on our vehicles, ARCC would ask that every person bring no more than a gym bag of goods to donate.

Being the culmination of an epic trilogy, could Mass Effect's last episode possibly come up to par to the 9.5/10 reviews from the last two? Not only did it do just that, but Bioware's Mass Effect 3 goes above and beyond given expectations with evolved gameplay, a killer team line-up (literally), and an ending that will leave gamers wanting to play it over and over again.
With Mass Effect: Andromeda coming soon, gamers will want to go back to the roots of the Mass Effect series in order to fully comprehend what we are to be expecting from Bioware's award winning series. In-game content in Andromeda will be very confusing to the gamer if they don't have any background knowledge about the last installments of the Mass Effect title. Mass Effect 3; however may be used as a "guideline" in order to determine whether or not Andromeda is bad, good, or better.
Bioware strives to satisfy the fan's constant hunger of gameplay evolution within Mass Effect 3 through drastic change and improvement from the last two games. According to in-game content and mechanics, it may seem that Bioware didn't want the fans playing the same videogame twice. Bioware has been using the Unreal gameplay engine for years, but with new innovative ideas, they installed the third version of the Unreal engine in the culmination of the Mass Effect series to provide fast-paced RPG action. Unreal v. 3 permits interaction with A.I. teammates in real-time combat situations, allowing the gamer to command and adapt with optimal efficiency in all situations.
If that wasn't enough, we are also given the option to utilize the Xbox 360 Kinect voice command to be able to vocally command your A.I. comrades. AI enemies keep us watching our every move with their new and improved engine coding. They now aren't random AI characters that run straight at you with guns pointed to the sky begging you to take them out. Even on the easiest difficulty in the game, one must be alert in order to survive each battle encounter.
Now, many die-hard N7 fans may think that the new Gears-of-War-style gameplay within this game may be just wrong or out of place, but it was a huge relief knowing that we weren't going to be playing the same game twice. Mass Effect 2 and its improved gameplay was given highly positive reviews, but like all videogames, perfection was not reached just yet. The new integration of in-and-out-of-cover controls with the unlimited sprint ability creates a sense of liberty and realism to the gamer. Bringing something new to the table tells us that videogames have not reached a complete with respect to its progression in improvement. Of course, Mass Effect 3 still has that familiar fluidity in its gameplay from the last episodes, but the new gameplay mechanics are noticeably integrated.
Once again we find ourselves with awesome kick-trash teammates within Mass Effect's plot/storyline that brings the laughs as much as it increases the body count. As Mass Effect tradition goes, new characters were introduced in this last instalment. New characters such as James Vega and the new-and-improved EDI provide new story options, and bring even more opportunities to connect with the Mass Effect universe. New teammates also means new powers in combat, and more adaptability to almost all in-combat situations. New characters open up even more space to explore into their lives and see who they are individually because each Mass Effect character has their own personality and desire. All players are allowed to shape the relationship they have with each Mass Effect character through positive or negative dialogue options. The protagonist gains a certain level of respect from the teammates because of the role that the protagonist has in the plot.
As the series came to a close, many people were in fear of the way Bioware was going to end such an establishment of a videogame, but they were not discouraged. Captain Shepard finishes of his battle against a synthetic race, the Reapers, but he could not do so alone. He must call upon all races of every kind in the universe in order to avoid the apocalypse. In the last two episodes we see the many prejudices that all alien-races have against each other and the human race, but all pride must be set aside for the greater good and well-being of the galaxy. It is up to the player to use persuasion and tact in order to fix galactic problems before such an alliance can be made. Of course, all past decisions in the last two episodes are in play, so if any mistakes were made at any time, the player must learn how to fix it, or move on.
The ending to the trilogy caused as much grief as it caused excitement. The player is confronted in the end with different decisions, and each have distinct consequences. It is up to player to discern which one is the best for the well-being of the galaxy, and if the player isn't satisfied, one must replay the game to get another ending. The ending till this day has been discussed over and over again in forums and reviews because there are so many opinions over it, An alternate ending has been added as well after the game's release, providing another perspective of what the video game's plot. In the end, Mass Effect 3 shows all gamers the true potential that the video game industry has through its evolution of gameplay and storyline. Anyone who is not a fan of N7 will be easily convinced if the chance is given. Mass Effect 3 shows gamers that we are not limited in any sense, especially if our mind is set on progress. With this first trilogy set in stone, everyone in the N7 community are waiting at the front door for Andromeda, and for good reason too.

Use Caution On State College-Savings Plans
February 25, 2000
Parents who want to save for their youngsters' college expenses, and who are tempted by savings funds being run by the states, might want to look into the plans quite closely. And that is not just because the plans of Rhode Island and Connecticut have been thrown into turmoil recently by a scandal involving alleged kickbacks, and federal racketeering and money laundering charges.
Presumably, most state plans if not all others are honest and above board. But annual management fees vary from state to state. And in some states they are unreasonably high, experts say. Over time, these higher fees can significantly reduce the benefits of compounding.
Most participants are unaware that they are not required to save in their owns state's plan -- but can shop around among other states for the best deal.
- Nineteen states offer stock investments for education savings and seven more are in the wings.
- The management fee in Iowa is 0.30 percent, 0.35 in Utah and 0.65 in New York.
- Arizona offers a government bond fund carrying a 1.4 percent fee -- five times what Vanguard charges its Treasury bond-fund customers -- and it charges 1.62 percent for its balanced fund.
- But in Maine and Indiana it is 1.6 percent, and 1.8 percent in Arkansas.
- Although the funds of both Colorado and West Virginia are managed by Citigroup's Salomon Smith Barney unit, which charges a 1 percent fee, Colorado levies as much as a 0.3 percent fee on top of that -- while West Virginia takes nothing.
On a $100,000 account, the Colorado surcharge costs a participant $300 a year compounded. If the eventual recipient is a toddler now, the Colorado plan could drain $10,000 in potential earnings from the fund come college time.

The Defense Department paid contractors $8 billion over five years in bonuses on weapons programs that were often dogged by severe cost overruns, performance problems and delays, the Government Accountability Office said.
The agency, an independent auditor for Congress, reviewed 93 of 597 military contracts in force between 1999 and 2004 that included the possibility of a bonus. Contractors on average were awarded about 90 percent of the bonus money available, the agency said in the draft of a report it sent to the Pentagon and plans to release next week.
For example, Lockheed Martin and Boeing, the two largest defense contractors, received $1.7 billion, or about 91 percent of $1.847 billion available on four major programs, including the Joint Strike Fighter, even as these programs "experienced significant cost increases, technical problems and development delays," the draft said.
Other major programs the agency cited included the Boeing-United Technologies RAH-66 Comanche helicopter, canceled in April 2004, and two other Lockheed programs: the F/A-22 fighter and a satellite system to detect enemy missile launches.

Bonuses paid on these troubled programs ranged from 74 percent to 100 percent of the potential award, the agency said.
"These practices undermine the effectiveness of fees as a motivational tool and marginalize their use in holding contractors accountable," the audit agency said. "They also serve to waste taxpayer funds."
The agency's draft report was sent to Pentagon weapons-buying chief Ken Krieg for comment. Krieg said Monday that he had not seen it.
Domenico Cipicchio, a deputy who is coordinating Krieg's formal response, had no immediate comment, said spokesman Glenn Flood. The agency plans to release its final report by Tuesday.
The audit was requested by Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., and Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, who chair a panel of the Senate Armed Services Committee that oversees weapons-acquisition policy. They asked the agency to review the bonus system after senior defense officials complained that the awards are paid regardless of performance.
The lawmakers could use the GAO report as the basis for legislation to tighten payment procedures.
Boeing spokesman Douglas Kennett said the company "cannot comment on a draft, yet-to-be-released report."
Lockheed spokesman Thomas Jurkowsky said in an e-mailed statement, "Questions about the amount of award fee should be addressed by the customer." Programs such as those cited "have cost, technical and schedule issues in their early stages because of the unpredictability of the technology."

How to Find a Wedding Officiant Who's the Right Fit for You
Following are brief descriptions of wedding ceremonies of interfaith couples I know (all names have been changed) who were married in recent months:
[* Note that either a rabbi or cantor can officiate a Jewish or interfaith wedding ceremony. InterfaithFamily's Jewish clergy referral service refers both rabbis and cantors.]
All of these ceremonies were "interfaith weddings," yet they were all very different. And each rabbi and cantor has different comfort levels and boundaries as to what they will do as part of an interfaith wedding.
One rabbi said to me recently: "I officiate at weddings where one partner isn't Jewish, but they're really 'Jewish weddings.' Essentially I do everything the same as I would do for two Jewish partners, with a few minor changes. I never let clergy or relatives from other faith traditions have any role in the ceremony, and I would never include a New Testament reading or any kind or any reference to or ritual from the other partner's religious tradition."
At the other end of the spectrum, another rabbi I was speaking with not long ago said: "I think it's really important to honor the religious heritages of both partners. I always ask the partner who isn't Jewish if they have a clergy person or other representative from their religion that they want to invite to take part in the ceremony. If not, I encourage them to think about including readings or rituals from their religious tradition that they find meaningful."
Clearly, these two rabbis are on two ends of the spectrum as to how they understand their roles in officiating interfaith weddings—and most Jewish clergy fall somewhere in between. Neither of these rabbis is "right" or "wrong"—but it can be frustrating and uncomfortable for a couple to meet with a rabbi or cantor who falls toward one end of the spectrum when they're really looking for someone who falls toward the other end. Needless to say, this can be uncomfortable for the clergy as well.
So what should a couple do when they're searching to find a rabbi or cantor who is the right "fit" to officiate their wedding?
1. First of all, before even reaching out to clergy, the couple needs to have an honest conversation (or, likely, several conversations) about what's important to them in their wedding ceremony. How does each partner feel about having Jewish clergy? Assuming that they want to have a Jewish officiant, they should decide: Do we want clergy of another faith to participate as well, and if so in what way? Are there rituals from the religious tradition of the partner who isn't Jewish that they want to include? Are there elements of Judaism (e.g., use of Hebrew, mention of God) that they are not comfortable with? Do they want their ceremony to take place before sundown on a Saturday? (Rabbi Keara Stein's blog How To Avoid This Wedding Nightmare offers couples good advice on how to have some important conversations.)
2. Once the couple has had these conversations, they should begin looking for clergy as soon as possible. If a couple doesn't already have a relationship with a rabbi or cantor, they can go to interfaithfamily.com/findarabbi and fill out a brief form with some basic information, and we will email them a list of rabbis and cantors in their area who officiate at interfaith weddings. Among other questions, the online form asks if the couple plans to have clergy of another faith participate in the service—if they do, they will be sent a list including only those Jewish clergy who are comfortable co-officiating weddings.
3. Once they have a list of rabbis and cantors, it's time for the couple to reach out and talk to them. The couple and the rabbi or cantor need to be very clear up front about what their expectations and comfort levels are when deciding if they are going to work together. As I often say when I met with couples (whether both partners are Jewish or they're an interfaith couple): "This is going to be one of the holiest, most special moments of your life. We should ALL be comfortable with the ceremony. If I'm not OK with something that's important to you, I want to help you find a rabbi or cantor that is totally comfortable with what you want. And if you don't feel like I'm the right 'fit' for you, it doesn't mean that I'm not a good rabbi or you should feel badly not working with me, but you should find someone who feels right for you."
The couple should be very clear with the rabbi or cantor about what they're expecting their wedding ceremony to look like. They should also feel free to ask any questions (after all, for most people this is their first time having a wedding, so they shouldn't feel like they need to be an "expert"), and to be honest if there are some things they're not yet sure about. Similarly, the rabbi or cantor should be clear about what they are and are not comfortable with.
Hopefully, when all is said and done, the couple will be very excited about the person they choose to officiate their wedding. Ideally, it will be just the beginning of a relationship that continues not only through the wedding, but for many years into the future.
What's the Right Holiday Greeting?
I have to say that I have mixed feelings about "the holiday season." While I love the beauty of the lights and decorations, it can feel a bit overwhelming and ostracizing to someone who did not grow up celebrating Christmas.
And then what to do when someone wishes me—a Jew—a "merry Christmas"? How to reply?
I have gone through my own evolution on this front. It used to feel very important for me to make a statement that I did not celebrate Christmas, and that in fact, my own holiday of Hanukkah was coming up. When someone wished me a merry Christmas, I used to reply with "Thanks, I'll have a happy Hanukkah." Sometimes I'd say this good naturedly, other times more pointedly, depending on my mood. But what did this really accomplish? Maybe making me feel a little less invisible amidst all the green garlands, but it probably embarrassed the well-wisher more than enlightening them.
Interestingly, being in an interfaith relationship has softened me somewhat and made it easier for me to accept these greetings in the spirit in which they were given. For the first time, I felt like I actually had a personal way to connect to and celebrate Christmas even if it wasn't my holiday. I would celebrate with my significant other's family so I didn't feel so left out. And I didn't feel disingenuous by accepting a "merry Christmas."
So what to say during this time? "Happy holidays" is always broad enough to encompass many celebrations. "Happy New Year" can also work for virtually everybody.
Here are my top tips for Holiday Greetings:
1. Try to accept greetings in the spirit in which they are given. If you are not celebrating Christmas, this can be hard to do, but usually the person offering a "merry Christmas" wants to be friendly. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, see #2.
2. Pick your battles. Pointing out that you or your family celebrate Hanukkah to the cashier in the busy checkout line is not likely to elicit much change on their part. However, if "merry Christmas" is encroaching in your school or work place, consider talking with someone in authority. Call them aside at a calm moment to explain how the good intentions can actually backfire and make those not celebrating Christmas feel invisible or excluded. Offer some alternatives instead.
3. Consider what is causing the sting for you. Sometimes understanding our reactions can help us manage them. I realized that part of my reaction was due to defining my Judaism as NOT Christmas. When I recognized this, I could shift my focus away from what I'm not and onto what I am, and enjoy Hanukkah and the parts of the holiday season that appealed to me.
4. In an interfaith family, know how your partner wants to handle things. Whether you are the Jewish partner or the partner raised in another faith, what feels inclusive and celebratory to you? To your partner? What feels exclusionary? The holidays can trigger people in unexpected ways, so be sure to communicate with each other ahead of time, and be there to back each other up.
5. Communicate clearly with your extended family members. How will you handle family celebrations and gifts? Is it OK for someone to wish you or your child a "Merry Christmas" if you are attending a family Christmas dinner? Is "Happy Hanukkah" appropriate for everyone at the Hanukkah party, even if some of the guests are not Jewish? Sometimes the setting and circumstances matter.
6. Be conscious and considerate. If you do not know what holiday or holidays someone celebrates, ask them, or use a more generic greeting like "Happy Holidays" or "Happy New Year."
7. Enjoy! Amidst the craziness that sometimes engulfs the holidays, and the missteps that are bound to happen, remember what is most important to you during this season and celebrate that.

Don't know if you figured it out yet, but you have to open the properties for the form and in the All tab look for Default View and select Continuous from the list.

Hi, maybe I phrased my question wrongly...
what I meant is how do I populate an unbound form with data from the database and then display it in continuous form view.
So far, I have only managed to populate the form in single form view.
Any help is greatly appreciated

It's all in how you set up your Tables, and the Relationships between them. Then you construct a Query that uses both tables which will more than likely be a One-To-Many Relationship. Then you base your Form/SubForm on that query and your SubForm will have the ForeignKey that ties it to the MainForm. That will be your linking fields.
It's like this: One Table named Orders and one named Vendors. One-To-Many Relationship would be VendorsID as the PrimaryKey in the Vendors table and the VendorsID as the ForeignKey in the Orders Table as one Vendor can have Many Orders. That should get you on your way.
have a nice one,

Hi bud,
That's still not what I meant.
Let me explain my problem.
I am using MS Access as the front end to connect to MS SQL server.
I have a form that will pull data from a view (vwMyData) on MS SQL Server.
My issue here is this:
All along, I have been using bound forms. This makes data pulling very simple as MS Access handles it for me.
However, what I need now is to NOT use a Bound Form. This will mean that I will need to load the data from vwMyData into the form at runtime.
This is easily done if I am using a single form view. The problem now is I need to view the data in continuous form view.
So, my question now is how can this be achieved?
i.e. how can I use an UNBOUND Form that will display all the data from vwMyData in a continuous form view.

"i.e. how can I use an UNBOUND Form that will display all the data from vwMyData in a continuous form view." - as far as I know, you can't. You will need to use some kind of binding, but you can do it at runtime.
What is this binding, then? In my eyes, it means every controlsources of every control contains the name of a field in the recordsource of the form. The recordsource of the form can be either permanently assigned (property dialog), through assigning a table, query or sql string dynamicly (me.recordsource = <your sql, table, query ...>), or you can assign recordset. If I've forgotten, something, please chime in.
For recordsets, check out the following two links

I haven't tried it for continuous forms, though.Roy-Vidar

Cliff Miller had a couple of ideas for a tribute to a special former player when his travel baseball team played in Panama City, Fla., earlier this month.
But after the United States Specialty Sports Association 13-and-under World Series, the coach thought his team best remembered Jordan Ellis, the North Oconee athlete who was killed in a car accident last year, by the way the Georgia Scorpions played.
Miller's team was called the Georgia Redbirds for the past two years, but were named the Scorpions when Ellis played on.
Ellis died last November during his senior year with the Titans. Afterwards, Miller decided to change the team's name back to the Scorpions.
"I talked to the rest of them about Jordan and we dedicated this season to him," Miller said. "Things worked out pretty good for us. We played pretty well and ended up winning."
The Scorpions traveled to Panama City on July 4 to compete in the tournament and won eight straight games to win the 13-and-under tournament, beating out 22 teams for six different states.
They claimed the title with a 12-9 win over the Post 12 Academy Storm in the finals on July 10.
"With the way we had been playing, I knew we had a chance to do well there," Miller said. "I didn't know if we had enough pitching or offense to win the whole thing. You play eight games in five days and your pitchers are limited. You had to be strategic on who pitched and how many innings."
Miller also had Ellis' initials placed on each player's sleeve before the tournament.
The Scorpions had several come-from-behind wins, which Miller said mirrored Ellis' never-give-up attitude. The team averaged 8.4 runs per game and gave up just four runs per game.
The only player on the team that had played with Jordan was Miller's son, but the coach made sure the team was familiar with the type of player Ellis was before the tournament.
"I told them about Jordan, that he was kind of a jokester," Miller said. "He played hard, but he also cut up when games weren't going on. He knew it was a game of failure and that you had to understand that if you hit just three times out of 10, you are pretty successful. That is what we tried to teach these kids."
Miller said that Ellis was a utility player who spent time at both third base and catcher for the Scorpions. The coach said his skill didn't emerge until he made the transition to high school.
"His death hurt North Oconee," Miller said. "He was going to be a standout player and a force on the team. Not having him certainly hurt in the playoffs."
Miller, who has coached travel ball for about 10 years, said that Ellis' ability to change attitudes on and off the field is what he remembers most.
"The thing that stood out the most was he was as hard-nosed as anybody on the field, but as soon as the game was over, he was cutting up with teammates and playing jokes on them," the Scorpions coach said. "He was a happy-go-lucky kid that understood that baseball was a game and was played to have fun."
The Scorpions have played in nine tournaments this year, finishing first in three of them. They have won at least one game in all but two of their tournaments.
Miller thinks the team's success and attitude, which reminds him of Ellis, is the biggest reason for their success.
"They played with the attitude that Jordan played with," he said. "They played hard and didn't make many mistakes. When they did, they didn't let it affect the rest of the game. … If we do a travel team next year, these kids will be playing middle school or high school ball, we will be the Scorpions."

One of the best restaurants in Milton Keynes
Our Restaurant
Cameron's Kitchen offers a modern approach to classic European cuisine, with top quality, fresh seasonal produce at its core.
A New Menu recently launched to reflect a more casual dining, purse & wallet-friendly restaurant, that doesn't compromise our ethos of using top quality fresh produce.
The new menu includes the most popular dishes we've served up over the years with the addition of sourdough pizzas straight from our wood-fired oven so you can choose revamped classics or exciting new combinations, plus a new selection of lighter bites.
Special themed nights and events are held each month and you can still request our unique 5/7 course tasting menus specially crafted by our team of creative and talented chefs.
One thing that will never change is our love and passion for serving great tasting food in a relaxed atmosphere, so now you can have the best of both worlds – enjoying affordable eating out with the option of hiring the restaurant or ordering something special for family and friends celebrations and events.

About Dan Cameron
In 2008, Dan showcased his talents on the first series of Masterchef: The Professionals and clearly impressed the judges, Michel Roux Jnr and Greg Wallace, who backed him all the way to the finals.
In January 2010, Dan opened Cameron's Fine Dining at The Navigation Inn with the intention of relocating, once established, to a standalone venue. Cameron's was a huge success at The Navigation Inn, gaining fantastic reviews and feedback from all who came, and was the first restaurant ever to receive 20/20 from MK Reviews.
Dan then set up his first standalone venue – Cameron's Brasserie in 2011- which has gone from strength to strength and is clearly one of the best restaurants around Milton Keynes.
Cameron's Kitchen history
Cameron's Brasserie opened in July 2011 in Stony Stratford. The idea was to open a business unique to Stony Stratford and Milton Keynes. A casual and informal space but with no compromise on quality of food.
When it opened, Cameron's Brasserie gained huge support and loyal followers, as well as being voted The Foodie Guide's Best Restaurant in Buckinghamshire 2013.
Serious fire damage meant that the restaurant was closed for half of 2014 and the beginning of 2015. It was re-opened in April 2015 with the on-trend name of 'Cameron's Kitchen' – where you can still expect exceptional food and exquisitely planned dishes, carefully prepared by our team of skilled chefs and served by our professional, yet approachable front of house team.
