Thinking about booking a tee time? We've got the rundown to South Surrey's hotspots if you're a golfer. From challenging courses to beginner par threes and weekend warriors to full-fledged golf junkies there's a fairway for everyone.
An easy 12-minute drive from Highland Park and Glenview, Morgan Creek Golf Club is home to an 18-hole, par-72 course as well as a Golf Teaching Academy and Equipment Fitting Centre. With stunning views of Mount Baker and the Golden Ears Mountain Range, it's the ideal destination to catch the sun's rays and indulge in some our province's super natural beauty. Finish off the game with a refreshing beverage or stay for a full three-course dinner from Morgan's Restaurant and Wine Bar, which overlooks the 6,967-yard course. Both the course and the restaurant are open to the public year-round.
Hazelmere Golf Course was originally built in 1962, but underwent an extensive renovation in 2003. The renovated Hazelmere includes a natural grass practice facility with five target greens and a practice fairway bunker. Located between the US border and Langley and a mere 10-minute drive from the Morgan Heights area, you'll find both professional and amateur golfers teeing off at this 18-hole course or relaxing in the one of the Clubhouse's Panorama, Garden or Fireside Rooms. And Hazelmere offers more than just golf. Boasting four indoor tennis courts, Hazelmere Tennis club is reputed to be one of the finest tennis facilities in the Fraser Valley. Drop the kids for tennis lessons, while you hit the green!
A golf course steeped in history. Peace Portal Golf Course was the pet project of Seattle lawyer Sam Hill. Most famously known for constructing the International Peace Arch, Hill hoped that Peace Portal would become an internationally renowned course. Now in its 82nd year, the 18-hole course receives regular visitors from the lower mainland and the neighbouring US. Border lineup looking a little too long? Grab a coffee at the Clubhouse and practice your chipping at the chipping green.
Meridian Golf Par 3
There's no website for Meridian Par 3, but trust us when we say this is one of the prettiest golf courses in South Surrey. The land for this 18-hole course used to be occupied by a hazelnut farm (an old nut house still stands near the 18th tee). Now, a sea of tall cedars and weeping willows add to the picturesque beauty of the family-run Meridian Golf Par 3. Of course, these majestic trees do make some of the holes a little trickier to see! The course and clubhouse are open year-round, weather permitting.
So go on, grab your golf bag and get ready to drive the range.

Waikiki established its reputation as a getaway when the Moana Surfrider opened its doors in 1901. Today, more than 30,000 hotel rooms are packed in the skyscrapers along the golden sands of Waikiki Beach. At the end of Waikiki, Diamond Head towers as an enduring landmark. West of Waikiki, Pearl Harbor offers a somber testament to history and the victims of World War II.

"Wish I could rate it higher"
If I could rate Hotel Renew on friendliness of staff, location and daily breakfast I would give it a 5. So, why is my rating a 1-2? First of all, when we checked in we had to sign an agreement to pay a daily 'amenity' charge of $15 plus tax – this is in addition to what we paid for our room months ago through Hotels.com. After our stay I checked the […] website and it mentions all the amenities in a list (such as daily continental breakfast, newspaper, wi-fi, etc.) and below the list it says, "Hotel Renew by Aston guests can also reJUVINATE at two nearby resort swimming pools and a full service fitness center. *Please inquire with guest services for more details." At the bottom of the page (below some photos) there is the following, "*All rates are subject to a daily amenity fee of $15 plus tax." So, it turns out that asterisk next to the fitness and pool verbiage is meant for all things on the amenities list – which is very misleading as the assumption would be that 'amenities' are included in the booking price. Add that to the following: • The towel bar fell off in my hands (literally!) • The bath knob fell off in my hands • The room could use some black touch up paint on the banged up shelves an corners • The Attendant at the 'nearby resort pool' told me we could not have towels after the Renew front desk said they provide them • The room was one of the few in Waikiki without a lanai – none available for two bedrooms (admittedly my miss but it was a big one). קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Stayed 2 nights. Room is very clean, everything looks nice and modern and Ikea-ish (it's a compliment). Breakfast was from 7h30am to 9am. Had fruits, pastries, muffins, coffee, pinapple juice, etc...Very nice breakfast selection. Only issue as previous people mentioned is the breakfast area is pretty small so it can fill up pretty quickly at certain […] times. Service by all personnel at the hotel was first rate and they're all very friendly ans accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. Only negative perhaps were the slightly loud air-conditionning unit while it was operating. But I had earplugs so it wasn't a big deal for me. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Excellent hotel in Waikiki"
We had a great stay at this smaller and much quieter hotel than others in Waikiki. Half a block from the beach and MUCH more relaxing than the larger hotels. Excellent breakfast of fruit, juice, and a variety of breads.

"Comfortable quiet hotel"
Hotel Renew is still in Waikiki but at the far end so it's not so crowded. My room was great with a beautiful view of the ocean from the window and a somewhat obstructed but still nice view of Diamond Head. The room was contemporary and comfortable, the staff friendly and accommodating. I loved the pineapple juice when checking in. The continental breakfast […] was fine (stick to the fruit and coffee).

"A great hotel!"
My fiance and I stayed at Hotel Renew for a week and a half and would highly recommend it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We ate the free continental breakfast every day, which helped to cut down on food costs during our trip. The hotel also offered complimentary items to borrow for the beach, such as beach towels, mats, and boogie boards. […] Because our plane left in the evening on our last day in Hawaii, we also took advantage of another free service offered by Hotel Renew, which allowed us to have an hour of complimentary access to one of their hotel rooms to shower, freshen up, etc. This allowed us to fully enjoy the last day of our trip even after officially checking out of our hotel room. The location was also great - close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, bus stops, and bus pick-ups for various tours. We were lucky to get a room with a balcony (which we loved!), which offered partial views of the beach on one side and mountains on the other. Many rooms in the hotel do not have balconies or beach views, however. Overall, we were very pleased with the accommodations and services offered by Hotel Renew. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Priced right but had issues"
First the location is safe and close to the beach. The problem with the hotel is that the rooms are small and there is no mini refrigerator. So if you have leftovers you might as well throw them out. There is only a cooler type fridge. There was also a slight smell in the rooms. There are very few amenities on site. No laundry or fitness room. It seemed […] like the staff was minimal so when I called for someone to being my bags down, no one showed and I had a shuttle to catch. Although the price was right, I would not stay here again. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Great hotel close to the beach!"
I loved staying at Hotel Renew. I was a little worried after reading some reviews, but everything was great. We stayed in a "city view" king room on the 6th floor and it was actually quiet (I do live in an urban environment so maybe this is relative). The hotel is spotless with tasteful modern decor, and the room always smelled really good. It was a […] bit far from the convention center but there is a bus a block away and always easy to get a taxi. I was there for a conference and it was so nice to come back and relax in the cool room after working & playing all day. Here is the thing--it's not a resort so no pool, but the pools at many of the moderately priced hotels are not that great anyway the beach is right there. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Loved it"
Clean and modern. Not big but across from Waikiki beach with multiple beach fun things to rent. Towels and mats were free. Surfboard was $25 for 3 hours or $50 for whole day. Much better deal than at beach. Close to many things. It is end of Waikiki strip so if you can't walk long distance, may want to rent a car. parking is valet and $25 per day with […] anytime acesses. It is end of strip so if you have kuds, tou and your kids can walk about 5 min and you are at Honolulu zoo! Loved all employees, all nice and caring! House keepers were contacted so if you don't leave your room early they may not get to your room. However, they do have one person on site 24 hours and if you just need clean towels and empty trush can, the front can help you with that right away. No pool but I suggest just go to twin tower Hyatt cause they don't care. Morning time gets super crowded, suggest early bird and get your spot or come down and get your food and bring them to our room. Definitely, going back there cause the rate was good, staff were awesome and easy acess to lots of things! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"A single female traveller's pleasant stay."
I arrived about 2pm and was quickly and efficiently checked in. My bags were taken to my room and I was made aware of my room features, all of which worked. The hotel was conveniently placed, not right on the beach but very close and right in the middle of a shopping and dining precinct. It was so easy to walk around Waikiki or to take the trolley buses […] from this location. Its very safe and clean and the beach park day and night is lovely. The hotel serves an adequate breakfast each morning in an informal setting and there is a bar serving drinks and nibbles at night. I enjoyed 2 excellent Mai Tais made by the friendly bartender Kasi who obviously enjoyed his job. My room was quiet, well designed and very comfortable although the view was onto the street. The bathroom was compact and provided the usual bathroom products. The shower pressure was excellent. I recommend this hotel. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

This hotel was awesome. The staff was amazing, the room was clean, the room looked like it does in the pictures, the bed was heaven, the pillows were fluffy and perfect, the bathroom was clean, etc. This is a 3-star hotel, and I think it's because they don't have all the amenities of a 4-star or 5-star hotel, but if it did (i.e. having a pool), it would […] be ranked pretty high. I would stay here again and again when coming back to Waikiki. The location is great, just one block from the beach, and they let you borrow chairs, towels, mats, boogie boards, etc. They greet you at the front desk with cold pineapple juice and a cold lemongrass scented towel (both of which were a surprise, as I've never been greeted at a hotel with either).

"Excellent Staff, Clean Boutique Hotel"
The staff at this hotel are amazing. They are very accommodating and eager to help. When we mentioned that our flight was leaving later than check out, the front desk staff immediately mentioned that they would be happy to store our luggage for us and we would still have full use of beach towels and the facility if we needed. He also mentioned that […] we could check to see if they had a courtesy room available on our check out date, so that we could freshen up before our flight. The greeted every guest that came in and held the door open for them. They also just seemed genuinely happy to be there and were always smiling. These employees deserve to be recognized for their customer service excellence. The hotel itself is exactly what I expected - a nice, comfortable boutique hotel with updated fixtures, modern decor and a very clean feel and look. It felt very trendy and much more inviting than the big-name hotel chains. It appeared to be well kept. The continental breakfast is just miniature pastries and refreshments. I'd call it a snack, rather than breakfast.

"Great Boutique Hotel with lots of Character!"
The hotel is a great find. We'd stayed on Waikiki several times before (Lotus, Aston, Royal Hawaiian) and we'd say this is a great happy medium to all of those locations. There aren't a lot of room, which is great as it limits the amount of people on the property and keeps it intimate. The overall vibe is younger, hipper and cooler than the surrounding […] hotels. The staff is amazingly helpful and extremely pleasant. Always available for suggestions and looking to make the stay a great one. We booked a premium oceanview room and it was perfect. We had room 806 and we had a great view, balcony and comfortable space to relax in. It was also at the end of the hall which made it extra quiet. The location is great as its easy to hit the park for a run, go across the street to the beach, walk to the rest of Waikiki attractions, and even easier to get on the road to hit the highway (you don't have to hit too much of the Waikiki traffic to make it to the freeway). Overall, its really a great find. Its not ultra-luxurious, but its quiet, intimate, hip, and just a fantastic find for the money.

Overall I had a positive experience in this hotel. The decor is very chic and modern at the same time very quaint and cozy. The staff overall was very helpful especially Daniel. They have complimentary continental breakfast in the morning from 7am until 9:30am. Decided to stay a second night and the woman who helped me quoted me a certain price and […] charged me approximately 50 $ more than she quoted. I didn't think about it at the time, but as I went up to my room the math didn't add up. Upon checkout I brought it to the attention of the front desk staff and Daniel offered to make the adjustment. The room was a little on the small side but overall didn't feel cramped. The bed was a king size with a firmer materss which I prefer and the bedding was clean and comfortable. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

I'm sorry the turn rate is down and i know it's not the promiss one, but i had problems at work. We were short of staff and i had to work every day to fill the empty space. The last 10 turns i played them on the run ore befoure i got to sleep, the only thing i done at home thows days.
Now the problem is fixed and i'm sure the turn rate will get back to normal. I hope you are not so disapointed about the game and i cant wait to defeat you, in this game ore the next one.......ore the next one

South Central - Region 3
This region hosts a diversity of broad life zones and habitats from mountain peaks to desert. From the west, the region originates in the high Cascade mountains where more than 100 inches of rain fall annually, supporting tall forests, alpine meadows and glaciers. The "rain shadow" effect created by the Cascades results in progressively drier conditions eastward until the forests eventually yield to arid shrubsteppe. Rainfall in portions of the region can be as little as five inches a year.
The Yakima River and the Hanford Reach of the Columbia River are among the region's more striking water resources. There are many other aquatic habitats ranging from alpine lakes and streams to warmwater lakes and ponds. White sturgeon, summer steelhead, bright fall chinook, and walleye are available in the Columbia River; bass, perch and bluegill may be caught in many local ponds; higher elevation streams host rainbow, cut-throat, and brook trout. The region's lakes offer fair to excellent rainbow and cutthroat trout fishing. While the waters of the region are closed to fishing for spring chinook and bull trout, the region offers many outstanding vantages for viewing these remarkable fish during their fall spawning seasons.
This region offers more than 400,000 acres of department owned land, all of which is open for public recreation. The department has also secured hunter access to an additional 180,000 acres of private land. These lands offer good to excellent hunting prospects for upland birds, waterfowl, and big game.
Our customer service staff will be happy to help you with information about the area's watchable wildlife and other fish and wildlife opportunities in the area. Hunting and fishing regulation pamphlets and other fish and wildlife information is available at the office free of charge.
To drive to this office: from I-82, take exit 34. Continue west on Nob Hill over the viaduct to 24th Avenue (approximately 3 miles). Turn left on 24th Avenue, travel approximately 3/4 mile. The entrance to the office driveway is on the left just past the cemetery tree line. Parking is available.

My two fave dressings.....
For a non fat dressing I use salsa on my salads. Tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, lemon juice. Process so its a chunky consistency.Sometimes I add mango or avocado pieces in the dressing.
For a fattier version...Tahini, garlic (thats up to you, i use it occasionally), dates, lemon (or orange if you want a sweeter version, very yummy) and cilantro. Blend. Add water if you want less thickness.
Hi Michelle. Welcome back. I'm really enjoying just plain old lime juice on my salads at the moment. I was finding the no fat dressings a bit too much flavour, so decided to keep it really simple. Lime juice is sublime...
I'm transitioning too. Today I had 2 green smoothies, an orange, a papaya smoothie, a lot of bananas, a couple of apples, a couple of small rice crackers at work, big salad at night with raw corn, tomato, cos lettuce and lime juice and a tiny bit of pasta sauce I made for my family. Had about 2500 cals all up.
2 quarts of fruit smoothies in the morning
Followed by 1 quart of green smoothies with rotation of the greens during the week a must!
Followed by a vegie snack or fruit snack or both
Ending the day with a humongous salad most of the days.
Lots of water. 8 hours of sleep. Outdoors in the sunshine. Vitamin B-12 (Methylcobalamin only!) patch twice a week.
Salad dressings are a cinch. Make a salad. Ask yourself what fruit or vegie or fruit/vegie dressing would be great on this. Blend those up and pour it on.
Get off the overt fats! No salt!!!! No phakephood (bottled dressings) Everything organic.
Michele, load up on the fruit hon. Vegies are 2ndry to this program and you'll develop an afinity to them soon enough. No worries. Give it time.
Michelle, I can't think of a salad that I make that *doesn't* contain at least one sweet fruit! Usually it's tangelos these days, and in the winter it was oranges. When they're around (summer, yay!) I LOVE mangoes in my salads.
So try a salad like this: ripe juicy tomatoes, mangoes/tangelos/oranges (whichever one you have), cucumbers or zuchinis (cut up small), red peppers cut very thinly, and some sort of sweet greens (baby spinach, romaine, etc). Then once you have everything in there, mix it with your hands really well, kinda squeezing it, so that all the juices of the tomatoes and fruit flow together...mmm! You could even add some extra juice from a tangelo/orange to the salad.
That's is how I like my salads when I make them :). You could also add some cut up dill/mint/basil if you have any around. I *love* dill in my salads.
You could also make some very delish dressings with: tomatoes, tangelos or mangoes, dill or basil, red peppers (this adds thickness, so I usually add quite a bit).
Hope this helped!

Team Makita Suzuki Racing's Ivan Tedesco picked up his first holeshot and his best Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross result of the season after finishing an impressive fourth place at the San Diego, Calif., event at Qualcomm Stadium on Saturday night.
"This was definitely a break-through weekend for me," said Tedesco after the race. "I was able to get some seat time on the Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 during the week and that really paid off. What I'm most excited about is that (Chad) Reed only beat me by about 10 seconds and I know I can improve on that."
Tedesco lined up in the night's second heat race in front of more than 60,000 screaming Southern California fans. He got a great start and finished a strong second place.
"This weekend went a lot better than the previous one," said Tedesco. "My Suzuki was working better after the changes we made during the week. I was particularly happy with my heat race because I got into second place pretty quick, and that was where I finished."
In the 20-lap main event, Tedesco beat all comers and got the holeshot on his Makita Suzuki RM-Z450. The former Supercross and Motocross Lites Champion rode a smooth and consistent race and brought home a fourth-place finish.
"I was as happy with the main as I was with my heat race," said Tedesco. "It was a good race. I got the holeshot on the Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 but was a little slow to get going and I got passed by a few guys. I didn't really get going good until about halfway through the race and by that point, the leaders had too much of a gap on me. Again, it was definitely a break-through weekend for me and it's good to have something to build on."
Team Makita Suzuki Racing will return next week for round eight of the Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2007.

How to check the Hudsonite level?
Guys, I have a 49 Hudson Commodore. I have a few bottles of Hudsonite. How do I check the level on the tranny, and then how do I add Hudsonite to the transmission?
Sodak - Hudsonite is for the CLUTCH, NOT the trans.!
To check the trans. there is a filler plug on the side - just remove it, if nothing comes out stick something like a small screwdriver in to ascertain the height of the oil. If low, add some 'til it starts to flow out of the plug hole.
The only way to check how much Hudsonite is in the clutch is to drain it, which if it hasn't been done for a while, is a good idea!
If not sure how to drain & refill clutch either look in owners manual, shop manual, or ask in here & we'll tell you. -
I believe the crakshaft has to be turned in a certain position to acces the plug and check the level. There must be something in the owners manual as said by Oldhudson (if you do not have it, you can probably find it in the hudson online library)Location : France
T8 et al: there are 2 drain plugs on the face of the flywheel. Right above the starter you will see an access hole.
The 1st thing to do is drop the clutch cover (small sheet metal pan covering bottom of the clutch), this while car jacked up LEVEL, and turn the flywheel (I would use a big screwdriver or a whatever you have, that will fit into the slots on the flywheel ring) & turn the engine over until one of the 2 plugs are straight down then, unscrew the plug, and drain the oil out of the clutch.
I use a measuring cup in doing this to see if there was enough fluid in the clutch (should be 6 oz.). I would also check the viscosity of whatever the last person had used as many will have used an improper fluid (which may be too thin, watery). True Hudsonite has an unusual odor to it; not sure what it is but the purpose of the fluid is to keep the corks in the clutch soft.
After draining the clutch, turn the flywheel until the now open plug hole is lined up with the access hole above the starter. My device for putting fluid into the clutch is a pc. of heater hose, beveled at one end, so as to easily fit into the flywheel access hole (& being rubber won't leak when pushed into/against it) & a small funnel affixed at the other end. After inserting the beveled end of the hose into the flywheel slowly pour the Hudsonite into the funnel.
When finished you then turn the flywheel back down until you can reach up & put the screw back into the flywheel - 6 oz. doesn't nearly fill the clutch so it won't leak out when turned down a ways.
Hope this explanation satisfactory - I can't begin to remember how many times I've done this as the 1st thing I'd do to any "new purchase" was drain & refill the clutch with Hudsonite.
You can drain and refill the clutch on a Hudson without getting under the car and removing the flywheel cover. Look, here's how it's done:
First, using the back button on the starter solenoid, bumb the starter over until the drain plug on the flywheel is in view of the opening above the starter. Then, before you reach in with a socket to loosen the plug, place a rag into the hole just below the plug. This will catch the plug just in case it falls from the socket or your fingers (a suggestion from a 1950's Popular Mechanics article)
Next, REMOVE THE RAG!. Then, bump the flywheel over again until the star shows up in the flywheel opening (bear in mind there are two drain plugs and consequently, there are two stars on the flywheel). Once the star show up in the flywheel opening, this will have the drain plug at the bottom of the flywheel and thus the old fluid drains out (put a small container of some sort to catch the old fluid).
Now, with the old fluid gone, bump over the starter to bring back the flywheel hole. Fill clutch with new Genuine Hudsonite Clutch fluid with whatever funnel device you have for this task. Next, with the clutch filled, place the rag back in below the flywheel hole. Thread the plug back into the hole and tighten. Then, REMOVE THE RAG!
That's it.
REMOVE THE RAG! Dan -
OK, one could do it that way, with rags, but I can't imagine anyone with an old car who hasn't got a hydraulic floor jack.
The original plugs are 11/16", 3/4", or something like that but are thin headed so getting a socket on it while hanging over the edge of the fender & working around the starter solenoid which sits on top of the starter is not easy & if not "straight on" it you can mar the edges of the plug which might be quite tightly put in. To put the plug back in you'll have to insert the plug into the socket & hope it doesn't fall out as you reach down with it, unless you have the hands of a child & can reach thru the inspection hole to get it started!
In 10 min. you can have your Hudson up on jackstands while you glide under the car & can easily remove & re-install the plug, CLEANLY, no rags needed. Plus with a service light by the inspection hole you can see what you're doing whereas you can't when trying to do it from above.
Oh well, to each his own ~ -
Several years ago an old Navy man gave me a pair of sockets. An 11/16 and a 3/4. They have a small ball bearing on opposite flats and a flat steel band around the outside. His stort was that the Navy had them special made for mechanics who worked on PT boats with the Invader engines. The bearings matched a dimple drilled into the flats on the head of the plugs and kept them from falling into the bilges of the boats. I no longe rhave my Hudsons, but I do have those sockets in my toolbox.
Chuck -
TwinH - yes, good idea as most guys would "put a lot of meat" on it tightening it so it wouldn't come loose or leak fluid. I always went underneath armed with a box end, for as I recall, the heads on the original screw quite thin & after all the years edges would be messed up by those using, or trying to use, the wrong size, or adjustable wrenches, etc.

Looks like Zac Brown isn't too thrilled with the state of country music today--specifically, Luke Bryan's new tune, "That's My Kind of Night."
"There's not a lot of the country format that I really enjoy listening to," he told Vancouver's 93.7 JRfm. "If I hear one more tailgate in the moonlight, daisy duke song, I wanna throw up. There's songs out there on the radio right now that make me ashamed to be even in the same format as some other artist."
Zac went on to talk about Luke's new song:
"I love Luke Bryan and he's had some great songs," Zac said, "but this new song is the worst song I've ever heard.
Uh oh...is there a fight brewing?

This is a truly delicious drink, full and flavoursome.
I love a cup when I get back from work, and the world seems instantly a better place!
Jade Porter - Sheffield.
Once you make this up very strong (it's a little hard to judge its strength due to the pale colour of the tea), the guava comes through very sweet and mellow and the kiwi has a little kick to it. Very nice and rounded, good hot and cold.

IPv6 is coming very soon now, so post all your IPv6 news, talk, tips and problems here! EDIT: This site has definitive info on IPv6: www.ipv6.com The name isn't all that surprising, huh? Here's another one: http://ipv6.net And finally, the Microsoft angle: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb530961 Amazing what 10 seconds on google brings up. ANOTHER EDIT: I think the following info is so useful, that I lifted it from a later post I made and then deleted the post. Thinkbroadband has some useful info on IPv6. Here's the best bits: IPv6 test sites These are unreacheable on your standard IPv4 connection. An odd feeling, knowing they're there! If anyone can browse them let us know. http://ipv6.google.com/ http://www.v6.facebook.com/ http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ http://ipv6-speedtest.net Does my ISP support IPv6? These British ISPs do at the moment (19FEB11). Note how the biggest one, BT, is absent: AAISP clara.net Entanet Exa Networks IDNet Get the rest of the Thinkbroadband goodies here.
Actually yes of course, since 1995. I just meant with IPv4 addresses running out now, it's use is finally gonna start ramping up. My ISP is fully IPv6 capable and can give me an IPv6 address any time I want. I wonder if there are any standard consumer routers that support it yet?
IPv4 walks into a bar... An IPv4 address space walks into a bar: "A strong CIDR please. I'm exhausted."
IPv6 walks into a bar... IPv6 walks into a bar, ordered something to drink, but nobody understood him. SCNR
Also, 1. the IPv4 adresses have been registered, this does not mean all registered addresses are in use yet 2. having run out of IPv4 does not mean IPv6 is coming, just that NAT is going to become more ofted used. Be prepared to shed extra $ for a unique IP Or look more CSI *facepalm*
I can reach those sites, but it may not be my ISP. My router, Netgear WNR3500L supports IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. Meaning the router's LAN address and any IPv6 capable computers attached to it get assigned an IPV6 addresss, and then the router auto-detects what the ISP supports and deals accordingly. My ISP, SaskTel, does not appear to support IPV6 on the client side, at least (the router can only get an IPv4 address from the ISP, and displays "connection type: 6to4 tunnel. Router's IPv6 address on WAN: Not Available.) I can deal with SaskTel's little quirks because they don't cap bandwidth. At all. I bought this router with the intention of flashing DD-WRT because it supports open-source firmwares out-of-the box and I was tired of the 2wire unit the ISP provided as a modem/router overheating and overloading but haven't gotten around to installing DDWRT since the router is working so well on stock. (they actually advertise the WNR3500L as being Open-source compatible. For anyone wanting to buy it, note: needs to be the WNR3500L. The WNR3500 is not, to my knowledge, meant to be used with third-party firmwares.) EDIT: ipv6-speedtest.net detects that I'm on IPv4, and tells me so. The other sites just connect like there was no difference.
Australia is on its last batch of 1Pv4 address I heard. IPv6 will bring something like 3 trillion more?
not quite, australian ISP's simply bought out the last IPv4 batches there was available. so we got more leftover than you
ya know, i shoulda checked where you are. aus bought up the last IPv4 addresses available, way more than we actually need. just another step by telstra to make sure they dont have to do any real upgrades for a few more years.
then its probably not compatible. its not a huge deal really, dont forget about NAT and IP tunneling. say, google could have one IPv4 site as a tunnel for all its websites on IPv6 - yes, in the future that may well be slower than native IPv6 but you WONT lose connectivity to websites, just because you're on one side or another.
Tech giants to enable IPv6 on "World IPv6 Day" in June World IPv6 Day "This is a 24 hour event June 8, 2011, from 0000 to 2359 UTC." Test your IPv6 Readinesss! <click to test with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome and other browsers(most should work) Edit: Couple of interesting sites. The NSA's take on router security. Router Security Configuration Guide Supplement - Security for IPv6 Routers Microsoft's take on Home routers. IPv6 Support in Home Routers
I was at an IPv6 summit at a university which had several talks from different companies. One of the important things mentioned was to only use tunneling, NAT or Dual stack as a temporary solution. The idea is to get rid of NAT and have public IPv6 addresses for all your machines. Ill admit it sounds kinda scary to have my machine IP internet wide, but I suppose it still goes through your router/firewall.
it takes us back to the modem days, where port forwards werent needed. i can see the advantages for businesses and whatnot, but i dont really want/need it for mysef. i'd likely stick with one IP and NAT (ISP's will probably charge per unique WAN IP anyway)
I can't see that ever taking hold namely because of the costs to ISPs. Instead of issuing customers a single IP per modem/gateway, they would have to issue one per device. It's pretty obvious how that can be used to screw customers. Not to mention, wireless. I doubt NAT is going anywhere simply because no one wants to give ISPs anymore power than they already have. Very, very few ISPs in North America are IPv6 anyway.
i think part of it might be related to 3G (and whatever comes after it) devices - being behind NAT can screw them over for various applications such as VOIP, so unique IP's makes sense there. the way i see it however, the more devices move over to IPV6, the more v4 IP's open up for legacy devices anyway. the transition will be slow.
Yeah, cellphones, smartphones, etc. are going to keep their own IP address because, think about it, they essentially are Internet gateways. I'm talking businesses and homes where there are multiple stationary computers. Although I could see laptops getting their own IP address with an ISP if wireless WANs improve to a point where there's no need to log into a WLAN. The infrastructure has to be updated before devices can. For example, TV stations had to be broadcasting in digital before it made sense for consumers to buy digital televisions. Likewise, it doesn't make sense to buy IPv6 devices when most routers nor ISPs support it. Someone, somewhere with a lot of influence is going to have to make the push. So far, it hasn't happened.

Mirabella Beauty, Cosmetics, Beauty
Mineral makeup brand Mirabella Beauty launched a DIY video featuring celebrity makeup artist Jasmine Dashtizad. Mirabella, a Beauty" href="http://www.mirabellabeauty.com/">paraben-free, talc-free, and gluten-free makeup brand, has a line of 14 elegant, brushed aluminum handled brushes. In the video, Jasmine shows her recommendation of the 3 must-have brushes for every woman to become their own personal makeup artist.
The first brush is the Foundation Brush. This brush is recommended verses a sponge because it extends the products life. Sponges absorb the product causing product waste. Using this synthetic hair brush will allow woman to avoid any lines of demarcation. It is a multi-use product that works with the Mirabella Diminish Concealer as well.
The second brush is the Face Blender Brush. This large circular brush provides lightweight application of product. The all-purpose synthetic blended hair works well with cream and powder foundation, blush and bronzer. Face Blender gives an airbrush quality, high definition, flawless appearance.
And the final brush is the Eye Blender Brush. This one brush can apply the eye colour with a simple wash of color. Using this brush will allow the product to not crease on the eye and gives smooth coverage. Because of the tapered bristles, the brush will blend the product for you.
Using these 3 must-have brushes will transform how women do their makeup!
The Foundation Brush is $38 MSRP. The Face Blender Brush is $42 MSRP. And the Eye Blender Brush is $27 MSRP. The full collection of brushes and the whole line of Mirabella Beauty makeup is available at mirabellabeauty.com.
Mirabella Beauty is the leading line of cosmetics used by salon and spa professionals, offering high-quality, mineral-based prestige cosmetics that are gluten-free, talc-free and paraben-free. With over 200 contemporary products for face, eyes and lips, as well as professional tools, Mirabella is best known for its wide range of shades with modern colors, quality formulas, the use of innovative technology, and a strong emphasis on education. Mirabella takes the guesswork out of makeup with the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Test to determine the right tonal match for any skin tone.
About Jasmine Dashtizad:
Jasmine's career in makeup took an unconventional path. She became enamored with it as a child as she would sit entranced watching her mother do her own makeup. It was the power that makeup possessed to enhance a woman's strength and femininity that ultimately influenced her decision to become a makeup artist in college. With no formal training, but fueled by an intuitive knowledge of light, color, and balance, she began working with cosmetics and beauty manufacturers to create their advertising imagery. Her work encompasses a wide variety of assignments; print, fashion shows, and music videos. As the National Trainer for Mirabella Beauty, she has assisted the company, developing seasonal collections and new product innovation.
