UDP and TCP Hole Punching: Peer-to-Peer Communication Across Network Address Translators - P2P
Peer-to-Peer Communication Across Network Address Translators
Technical paper explaining circumvention of of NAT restrictions on Peer to Peer traffic. There was a Technetcast or codecon lecture on this a while back, I'll try to find it.
Hole punching is a general-purpose technique for establishing peer-to-peer connections in the presence of NAT. As long as the NATs involved meet certain behavioral requirements, hole punching works consistently and robustly for both TCP and UDP communication, and can be implemented by ordinary applications with no special privileges or specific network topology information. Hole punching fully preserves the transparency that is one of the most important hallmarks and attractions of NAT, and works even with multiple levels of NAT--though certain corner case situations require hairpin translation, a NAT feature not yet widely implemented.

Ok I got it figured out. read carefully.
fyi so if you want don't come back to this post until it's obvious (and it will be) you should.
Feel free to add this to the achievement description OP (recommended really)
How to get Necromancer: It is story related, but it is easily missable as I'll mention.
After an assassination attempt on king henslet by 2 witchers, auches and w/e. Dethmold wants you to enter the memories of the one you kill to find out etc etc. In here one mistake (stepping on a trap, going the wrong way, dying) will throw you out and you have to go back in.
1st is just easy killing some harpies/bandits, pretty straightforward.
2nd is carefully follow the other guy and don't touch any traps, make sure to look at the ground the entire time. You will proceed to have some convo.
<SAVE HERE> you'll find out why.
3rd is your inside the war camp prevalent in ch2. Wait for the 2 guards to start moving, you can move up a tent and hide behind it, and keep following the guard that goes straight (or left you could say) he will turn around 2 times so be careful, line of sight breaks the mission, and I'm not sure if you can re-enter the memories after it breaks this time. once he goes to the fire go to the right and keep going and it should throw you into the next fragment.
4th is just walking straight as the other guy mumbles about some big stuff goin down.
5th is where you are in the kings encapment and fighting. It's pretty easy as your guys are really hax against regular stuff. Just do some rolling and pwn them from behind.
This is where the DING should be, after you kill the last one.
6th, face Geralt, and get owned badly (I wasn't even able to hit him, Shield + swirling sword attack = lolwutpwned.)
Not written the greatest so feel free to rewrite that stuff.. xD

RE: IPSEC + Tunnels posted 09/28/2001
Disagree here - I've tried to make it work and it doesn't - I think the example below COULD work (never tried the approach used), because you have assigned the source address of your IPSec packets as the Tunnel 0 interface ('crypto map ipsec local-address tunnel 0). All the examples I've seen on CCO assign map to both tunnel and real interface. You would never do this in a real world situation as your tunnel addressing would have to be public if on the Internet to ensure IPSec peer-to-peer communications. Your tunnel addressing is typically private... With the route-caching, I've noticed this so far on routers with a dialer interface...(e.g. ADSL), have had to turn off fast switching and it works OK. Also noticed with 7200's that CEF seems to cause intermittent issues.

Some 83 incidents of algae have been reported to environmental authorities so far this year, starving lakes of oxygen and putting native species at threat.
The highest ever number of annual reported incidents was 226 five years ago, but the Environment Agency said this year was an unusually bad one.
Toxic 'cyanobacteria', known as blue green algae, has been recorded along the Welsh coast, in Scottish lochs, infesting the Norfolk Broads, ruining swimming ponds in London and in fishing ponds and streams across the country.
It is not known how many of this year's incidents relate to blue-green algae, but dog walkers and swimmers have spotted "green slime" in country parks, on the surface of reservoirs used for drinking water and even on the underside of bridges.
Thames Water spends £2m every year cleaning up algae from lakes and reservoirs.
The Environment Agency has issued a warning of further 'potential hazards' in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire as more outbreaks are expected.
The algae can cause stomach upsets and skin irritations and can kill pets and livestock. A dog died this year after its owners saw the pet drinking algae from a Wirral beach, while 31 dead animals were washed up on the coast of Brittany after a bad outbreak earlier in the summer.
The Government agency blamed the hot weather and the recent drought, which means the algae can grow faster, for the high levels of algae blooms, along with phosphate nutrients from fertilisers used on farms.
Environmentalists pointed out that there have been cool periods and rain this year, and said the outbreak was made much worse than expected because of pollution from farms and sewage works and water companies taking too much water from the streams.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) estimates that a third of river catchments in Britain are losing wildlife as a result of too much water being taken for households. One of the main problems of "over abstraction" is algae blooms, which starve other life forms of oxygen.
Jack Rhodes, a water policy officer with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), said fertiliser running off farmers' fields, sewage and 'grey water' from washing machines or baths provide nutrients to feed algae and weeds.
The problem is made worse when the rivers are running low as the water moves slowly and the nutrients are more concentrated.
He said the algae blooms will get worse as Britain experiences more hot summers with climate change, unless water management is improved so that households use less water and sewage is treated to a higher standard.
"The algae blooms are undoubtedly down to a combination of over abstraction and an increase in grey water and pollution from farmland," he said.
Both the RSPB and WWF want more water meters in households to reduce consumption and greater controls on water companies and farmers to control pollution.

Pros: Great camera
Music player
Great design on both colours
Cons: 2.5 mm headset jack
no wifi
But overall it is a very good Nokia phone for a begginer in phones and a guy who just needs a phone with a good camera and a music player. I really liked it and the software is great. I recommend this phone to the beginners to the phone world!

While Kristen Wiig has done her share of logical post-"Bridesmaids" roles in films like "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" and "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty," she has also used the opportunities presented by the hit comedy to try and stretch her acting wings. And she dials it way down for "Hateship Loveship," a romantic drama which finds her sharing the screen with Guy Pearce, Nick Nolte and Hailee Steinfeld.
Based on the short story by Alice Munro, and directed by Liza Johnson ("Return"), the film tells the story of the mousy Johanna (Wiig), who signs on to work for the elderly Mr. McCauley (Nolte), who needs a hand caring for his granddaughter Sabitha (Steinfeld), the offspring of his recovering junkie son-in-law Ken (Pearce). And so begins a layered look at a variety of relationships dealing with turmoils big and small, that gets further complicated when Sabitha plays a trick on Johanna to make her think Ken is romantically interested.
It's complex stuff, but as we noted in our review out of TIFF last fall, "Johnson's rigorous and formal approach doesn't allow for any sparks, let alone fireworks" in a story that certainly contains a lot of them.
"Hateship Loveship" opens on VOD and in limited release on April 11th. Watch below.

Ask a German Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Dear Customer, thank you for using Just Answer.

A national settlement permit or a blue card to apply for EU. This requires a university degree, a contract with the German company, an annual salary of 44.800 euros.

However, it is checked whether a German can do this job.
2. If I enter with my mexican passport, how long can i stay as a tourist?
3 Month
3. Do i need to get a VISA to enter Germany?

Compiled ExtJs application throws 'TypeError: Ext.util is undefined' at startup
I've been working on an extjs application for a few weeks now and I'm finally starting to get to a point where I want publish my application. Using Sencha Cmd I've compiled my application into an index.html / all-classes.js without minification. I have a build.bat file the my extjs application root along side with my app.js, in ./app/ are the remaining files of my applications and in ./ext-4.0/ are my ext-js 4.2.1 files.
However, whenever I open the compiled application page in Firefox it throws the following error:
TypeError: Ext.util is undefined
Ext.util.DelayedTask = function(fn, scope, args, cancelOnDelay) {
Whenever I click through I jumps into the all-classes.js to the location where Ext.util.DelayedTask is defined in source in the all-classes.js.
This is head-section my index.html:

Not sure this is the issue, but your locale file should be loaded after the main framework loads.

Lauren Conrad and Fiancé William Tell Look Adorable For Halloween Party (PHOTOS)
Lauren Conrad, aka the DIY queen, has done it again.
The former The Hills star made her own Halloween costume this year, debuting it at the Matthew Morrison Halloween Party at the Warwick Nightclub in Hollywood, California on October 26. The star-studded event was filled with Miley Cyrus costumes (ahem, Paris Hilton), superheroes, and funky facepaint, but we think LC was one of the most creative with her handmade fairy outfit. The gray tulle dress was tied at the shoulders and complete with fairy wings.
Lauren's hubby-to-be, William Tell, went a little more low-key as a doctor. Maybe they were even going for the tooth fairy and dentist look!
Click through the gallery to see Lauren and William out for a night of spooky fun and let us know what you think of their costumes in the comments.

NFL Odds – Houston Texans To Use New 'D' To Crush New York Jets
Written by North Shore Sports, Inc.
We have another great Monday Night Football battle on the NFL odds this week at Bookmaker Sportsbook, as the Houston Texans square off with the New York Jets to close out the first week of the preseason.
NFL Betting Online:
Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX is going to be the site of another Monday Night Football clash between the Houston Texans and the New York Jets. The battle on the NFL odds will be set on Monday, August 15th at 8:00 ET, and there will be live TV coverage on ESPN.
NFL Betting Odds
New York Jets (+3)
Houston Texans (-3)
Over/Under 35
Two seasons ago when Rex Ryan took over the Jets, the hope was that he was going to be able to change around this normally suspect defense to get them to the playoffs. He's done just that in back to back seasons. Now, with the 3-4 in place in Houston and new Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips calling the shots on this side of the ball, the hope is that the Texans can finally get over the hump.
Houston is only a modest underdog this year on the NFL futures odds to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South, and depending on how this preseason goes, things could change dramatically. Though we aren't so sure just how much we're going to see the starters on offense, the defense is probably going to spend some extra time out there on the field in the first half as the team tries to get used to that switch to the 3-4.
Offensively, we know that QB Matt Schaub is one of the best in the biz. We also have confidence in newly resigned backup QB Matt Leinart to get the job done as well. However, once Head Coach Gary Kubiak hands the ball off to often inconsistent TJ Yates, it's anyone's guess what is going to happen. Of course, the Jets can say the same thing about QB Greg McElroy and QB Drew Willy once both QBs Mark Sanchez and Mark Brunell are done in this one.
New York has a history of not really showing a whole heck of a lot on defense in the preseason. The unit has always been good, but there shouldn't be a crazy amount of pressure on Schaub and the Houston quarterbacks, which definitely plays into the Texans' hands on the NFL betting odds.
There are some injury questions for Houston, as WR Andre Johnson, RB Arian Foster, and LB Brian Cushing have all missed some time.
These two don't typically meet each other in the preseason, knowing that they play each other quite a bit in the regular season. The Jets have never lost to Houston, going 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in the five meetings of these rivals.
NFL Odds Picks – Still, Houston is going to want to get this massive season off on the right foot, and we just don't see how it is going to do anything but win this one by less than a TD.
If you're looking for the best NFL odds on the internet, you've come to the right place. When you're ready to cash in big on this clash between the Houston Texans and the New York Jets, Bookmaker Sportsbook is the one stop shop designed just for you!

Well, I think we all saw this coming.
Looks like after "Barack Obama is a vapid celebrity†lost gas and "Obama is a terrorist's best friend†turned more people off than it excited, John McCain is reaching for the oldest Republican attack in the book: â€He'll raise your taxes.â€
McCain set this up in the last debate and is now following through on the campaign trail. I'm sure he'll win a few people over who don't understand Obama's plan and are generally suspicious of a man from a party known for the "tax-and-spend†policies of yesteryear. But despite the problems with Obama's tax plan, the Democrat has so repeatedly pledged to lower the taxes of 95% of Americans that McCain has to accuse Obama as lying OR he has to make the rather complicated argument that Obama's tax-credit reliant plan is fundamentally flawed and will end up causing more problems than it'll solve.
This probably is McCain's best hope of gaining ground before the election. But the inherent complexity of tax policy and the desire for sound-bite ready campaigning is driving McCain to oversimplify and downright deceive in order to make his larger point – and Obama's campaign will pounce on those obfuscations which will in turn be reported in the media and diminish the effectiveness of McCain's attack.
I think Obama has done a superb job of inoculating himself against the "he'll raise your taxes†attack and I think McCain has come to this issue too late to put up a comprehensive attack and a coherent alternative.

Substitute 2 clementines, peeled and sectioned, for the mandarin oranges.
This simple slaw is rich in vitamin A from the coleslaw mix. As a bonus, the slaw mix also teams up with the tangerines for an excellent source of vitamin C.

This was simple and good. I marinated the cabbage and onions in the dressing overnight, then added the mandarin oranges and 1/4 cup slivered onions just before serving. This goes great w/ "Slow-Cooker Thai Chicken Thighs" from this site.
I didn't like the salad with just salad dressing so I mixed in a little Miracle Whip. I added just enough to keep the salad from being too runny. My husband liked it enough to go for seconds.
Very quick and easy. We also added water chestnuts.

02/05/2013, Elliott Key
We departed Key Biscayne today and traveled to Elliott Key, we will spend a few days here then move to Pumpkin Key, then head to Key Largo area. We will post more with pics as we have internet available, all is well, weather is forecast to be more perfect than it is right now and the water is 66 ( I expect the water to start warming up as we head South). The Pic is of Bessie and I on the end of Key Biscayne with the Stilt Houses in the background.
01/31/2013, Key Biscayne to Elliott key and back
We had a great visit with Jason, we picked him up at a boat launch in Miami beach at 1030 AM on 24 Jan and went straight to the boat, pulled the anchor and cruised to Dinner Key where we spent the night. On the 25th, we cruised to Elliott Key which was very nice. the water was crystal clear, we swam some, kayaked and walked on the beach. Jason and I spent some time under the boat replacing the shaft Zinc, the boat was in 5 feet of water and we essentially stood on the bottom and wedged ourselves against the bottom of the boat to take off the old zinc and replace it.
The weather for his entire visit was perfect, 80 degrees, breezy and sunny. Jason tanned up nicely. Kayaking was fun, saw some fish and Bessie saw a 5 foot Hammer Head Shark, I saw but not as good as Bessie, it was swimming right alongside her Kayak about 10 feet off toward the beach.
We the cruised to No Name Harbor, a state park bay on Key Biscayne, stayed here for two days on a weekend which was a bad move but we endured all the Miami ans and their partying. They generally quieted down after 10 so we slept well. After here, we moved back to where we picked Jason up and bid farewell. We returned to No Name and will be heading South to the Keys sometime this weekend (Weather permitting). All systems are working fine, making water, and enjoying the lifestyle; it is quite nice. Took some pics, they are on Flickr (I actually took more than I have been, hard to believe)
01/20/2013, FIU Bay
OK, we are fianlly in Miami, ready to launch for the keys. As my BRO said, it is great to be in FL, on our boat and it is awesome to drive around the boat on the dinghy and look at the rudder and the prop, try that on the Chesapeake Bay, never happen. We are thrilled and Bessie and I mention every day that it is hard to believe we are here. The water is amazing, the Manatees are cool to see and the places to anchor are everywhere. We are meeting Jason on Thursday, early in the AM, a taxi is dropping him where we will be anchored and I'll pick him up for a 5 day cruise around Miami, Key Biscayne, dinner Key and maybe out to Stiltsville and beyond ( all weather dependent). Our cruise today was fabulous from Boca Raton to Miami. The pic I put on the blog is our next home and boat. It has to be pretty neat to own a big home on the water near miami worth probably 5 mil, then own a yacht, tied up out front that is worth 10 mil and then, the yacht obscures the house, that is priceless. We are (obviously) thrilled, having a great journey and admit that this is quite the lifestyle. Boredom has been painlessly absent from our lives on the boat, we are meeting many amazing and nice people so as Bessie said several times, I can't imagine not doing this for a long time. I put one pic up here, and two others on flickr.
We are now in Miami Beach and left FIU Bay on the 24th. Thankfully I put a strong windlass on the boat before we started this journey, AND IT IS STRONG, when we left FIIU bay, the anchor snagged a cable (2 inch diameter cable) and the windlass pulled anchor and cable up to the surface, I unhooked the cable and we were free. Tomorrow AM, Jason arrives, we are looking VERY forward to our time with Jason.
01/19/2013, Boca Raton Lake
Anchored for a night or two, moving South, all is well
01/17/2013, South of Jupiter
We finally left the marina on Wed Jan 16th. We will be heading down to miami to meet Jason n the 24th, our plan is to make a stop in North Lake Worth, then onto Boca Raton and then to Miami. All is wee and it is good to be out on the water again. More to come now that we're back out and heading to the Keys for Feb and March.
12/13/2012, Jupiter FL
We arrived at our new home for the next month, we won't be posting until we leave for Miami in January, Merry Christmas to all.

Children At Risk: Child protection task force faces November deadline
HARRISBURG - The Task Force on Child Protection has a mandate to review state laws and policies regarding the protection of children that is broader in scope than the issues raised so far by the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal at Penn State University.
The 11-member task force faces a Nov. 30 deadline to issue its report to Gov. Tom Corbett and state lawmakers. The task force plans to hold a hearing Thursday.
"We will certainly meet our deadline," said task force chairman David Heckler, the Bucks County district attorney who is a former Republican senator and judge. "There is a substantial consensus on a host of policy issues."
The issues undergoing review by the task force include improving existing laws requiring the reporting of child abuse to authorities, providing training to those required to report abuse, addressing deaths of children through neglect and a technological upgrade for ChildLine, the state-operated child abuse hotline, Mr. Heckler said.
The task force was created by the General Assembly after the arrest last November of Mr. Sandusky, the former football coach, on child sex abuse charges. Mr. Sandusky was convicted of child sex abuse in June and a subsequent outside report was harshly critical of Penn State administrators for not reporting allegations involving Mr. Sandusky to law enforcement. Lawmakers pre-empted the task force in one instance by enacting a law requiring schools to provide training on recognizing child abuse to employees who have direct contact with children and are required to report suspicions under existing law. Mr. Corbett signed the law on July 5. It requires those employees to take at least three hours of training in child abuse recognition every five years. It takes effect in January.
"When I realized teachers had a legal obligation to report their suspicions, but no framework in which to evaluate what they saw, I introduced this legislation to close the policy gap," said sponsor Sen. Pat Vance, R-31, Camp Hill.
The task force is expected to make other recommendations. One will address the need to modernize ChildLine, which receives tens of thousands of calls annually.
"It's a perennial stepchild when the budget is set for (information technology)," Mr. Heckler said.
Another likely area is tougher penalties for individuals covered by the reporting law who fail to report suspected child abuse. Sen. Kim Ward, R-39, Greensburg, chairwoman of the Senate Aging and Youth Committee, has already sponsored legislation to increase criminal penalties for those who "willfully fail in their duty" to report. Mr. Heckler said the task force is also focusing on the incidence of child neglect.
"The number of cases in which kids are neglected to death is chilling," he said.

Jay Newcomb, Director of Service Learning and Dignitas Instructor at Saint Scholastica, will be retiring at the end of the year. It has recently been announced that his position at the Center for Just Living (CJL) will not be replaced due to budget constraints.
Newcomb was a founding member of the CJL. Originally, the room where the CJL is now located was a general meeting place for each club on campus. In 2000, it was redesigned so that the clubs and students using the space could better coordinate, work together, and focus on social activism. Since then, Newcomb noted, "It's been a really important place for getting students involved and to feel comfortable."
As the Director of Service Learning, Newcomb organized Community Day and other community partnerships, such as the Myers-Wilkins afterschool program. He also helped start Scholastica's service-learning trips to Cuernavaca, Mexico over winter and summer break (the summer trip has since been taken over by the Spanish Department).
In addition to Newcomb, the CJL also has student coordinators who help plan events and conduct research when needed. One of these coordinators, Cecilia Molloy, spoke about the upcoming change for the CJL, noting that Newcomb has had a really big impact at St. Scholastica and in the wider community and has really branched St. Scholastica out.
When students learned that Newcomb's position might not be filled, the CJL jumped into action, collecting testimonials from alums and current students. The GCL department and other Dignitas teachers also submitted testimonials supporting the importance of the position. In all, about 37 testimonials were collected, mostly from alums, and passed on to Dr. Goodwin's office. Despite this, administration still decided not to renew the position. Molloy recalled that the decision came as a shock.
Without the position, Molloy fears that a lot of student leaders on campus will be unable to discover their potential. "A lot of community building will go away," she explained. Newcomb had a more optimistic view, noting that Student Affairs would be coming up with a plan to fill the void over the next month. Possible solutions include a part-time presence at the CJL or the distribution of the Director of Service Learning's duties among different departments.
Regardless of what happens next, Newcomb looked back on his role in the Center for Just Living with pride. "For me," he said, "It has been the most rewarding work I've been able to do." As he prepares for retirement, he looks forward to maintaining an active role in the Duluth community and continuing to volunteer.

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Mark Anthony Patrick Kerr, 26, of Carrabane Walk and Michael Anthony Taylor, 45 of Bishop Street, pleaded guilty in January at Belfast Crown Court to possessing the Magnum rifle in the city with intent to endanger life almost three years ago.Kerr also pleaded guilty to possessing a length of commercial detonating cord in suspicious circumstances on the same date on Tuesday, 2 August 2011.Taylor was sentenced to seven years, with three years to be spent in custody and four on licence after his release.His co-accused Kerr was sentenced to six years, with half in custody and half on licence.A prosecution lawyer told Belfast Crown Court that the guilty pleas to having the rifle were accepted on the basis of "second limb possession", in that they were holding the weapon for someone else intending to endanger life or cause injury to property.A charge of possessing the rifle under suspicious circumstances was "left on the books" and was not proceeded against both men.Similarly, in Kerr's case, a charge of possessing the detonating cord with intent to endanger life was also "left on the books".The crown lawyer told Judge Corinne Philpott QC that on 2 August, 2011, police were carrying out a surveillance operation in Derry both on the ground and in the air.He said that night that around 8.02pm police stopped a red Peugeot 406 which was being watched by police who noticed the driver, Kerr, was wearing white gloves."After the car was stopped, Kerr was seen to take the gloves off and put them in his lap," said the lawyer.A search of the car revealed a red holdall bag containing a semi-automatic Remington Model 597 Hornady Magnum .117 rifle."He was taken from the car and indicated that the car belonged to him and said: 'I have been told to drive the car with the bag to the Square.'"The deputy Belfast Recorder was told that Kerr denied being a member of a paramilitary organisation.The court heard that unknown to both Kerr and Taylor, police had mounted a covert surveillance operation that evening and both men were being closely followed by police officers both on the ground and in the sky above Derry.The prosecuting lawyer said that Taylor was observed going into the Abercorn Bar and as he left aerial police watched him walking down the hill.Taylor was later seen by police talking into the passenger window of Kerr's red Peugeot car.Police then moved in, arresting Kerr at the car, and Taylor was detained a short distance away.Judge Philpott was told that Taylor was found to have a green plastic bag with another bag inside complete with tag.The crown lawyer said it was connected to the holdall found in Kerr's car, but during police interview Taylor claimed the bag was thrown at him by a motorist after they had an altercation.During an extensive search of Kerr's car, police recovered a metre-long length of detonating cord which contained the explosive PETN inside.The judge was told that Kerr had no relevant criminal convictions.However, the lawyer said that Taylor was jailed in 1995 at Belfast Crown Court for an explosives offence.The court heard that on 27 January, 1994, Taylor was seriously injured in a bomb explosion in Derry.The force of the explosion knocked down a wall and in a follow up operation, police recovered a Mark 16 mortar and fins which appeared to be in the process of "setting it up to be fired" when the bomb detonated prematurely.Defence lawyers for both Kerr and Taylor said that an expert who examined the rifle said if fired, it was not capable of injuring anyone.Meanwhile, detectives from Serious Crime Branch have welcomed the sentences.A spokesman from the branch said: "We should all be thankful that those in possession of these items were prevented from using them. Police will continue to combat the threat posed by dissident individuals and groups who plan to use violence to further their agendas."We would encourage people in the community to continue to work with us to reduce the threat posed by such reckless individuals so that we can bring them before the courts." © UTV Share Share Share

Haas poised for repeat at Riviera
LOS ANGELES At the Northern Trust Open, where the per capita on moronic, loudmouthed fans seems to be particularly high, Bill Haas got both ends of the spectrum on Saturday.
As Haas strode up the 18th fairway at Riviera Country Club, with a scoring standard bearer walking close by, one guy from behind the ropes said to his buddy, "Look at that. Jay Haas is 12-under."
Thirty years ago, maybe, though Bill's dad, Jay – now starring on the Champions Tour -- never won what was then called the Los Angeles Open.
Then there was the screamer at No. 17 who already wanted to hand Bill Haas the trophy with more than a round still to play. "Back-to-back!" If he was looking for a jinx, Haas got one.
Bill Haas does have a rare opportunity on Sunday. Neither his father nor his great uncle, 1968 Masters champion Bob Goalby, ever captured the same tournament in consecutive years. It's hard to distinguish oneself in such a venerated golf family, but 30-year-old Bill Haas can do so with a second straight victory at Riviera.
Haas won the NTO last year with a birdie on the second playoff hole and has a three-shot lead heading into this year's final round after shooting a stunning 7-under-par 64 on Saturday, when no one else in the field scored better than a 67.
With a win, Haas would join a list of seven back-to-back L.A. champions that includes Macdonald Smith (from the '20s), Ben Hogan ('40s), Arnold Palmer ('60s), Corey Pavin ('90s) and Phil Mickelson ('00s).
The fan was getting ahead of himself with another trophy presentation, but Haas is trying not to.
"It's very difficult in this game to pull away from the field," Haas said. "You've only seen a few guys ever really do that. Guys like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson.
"I think I've just got to try to stay in the moment, don't let my emotions get the best of me."
Haas has some pretty fair talent closely tracking him. In his final threesome will be reigning U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, who is a good friend, and South African Charl Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters winner. Each shot 68 on Saturday.
Also three behind is UCLA alum John Merrick (70), and four back are former world No. 1 Luke Donald (70) and Swede Fredrik Jacobson, whose 1-over 72 included a whiff of his ball in the kikuyu rough at No. 5, leading to a double bogey.
"Bill shooting 7-under is incredible out there," said Simpson. "It was very tough. I felt like my 3-under was pretty good.
"I think Bill is in a position, if he keeps a three-shot lead and goes and plays well again, it's going to be tough to catch him. But with the golf course this tricky, and you get a guy who has a good front nine, I mean, he could be tied for the lead or even in the lead with nine to go."
Haas goes into the final round having played his last 40 holes without suffering a bogey. On Saturday, he failed to birdie Riviera's easiest hole, the par-5 first, and was cruising along at only 2-under for the round through 8. Then he birdied the tough ninth, chipped in from 57 feet for eagle at 10 and birdied the par-5 11th from 5 feet.
"Maybe it helped today that I didn't birdie the first hole," Haas said. "Because all of a sudden you think, 'Oh, I lost a shot to the field.' But I proved today that you can still play a good round not doing that."

10 February 2013

ALICANTE, SPAIN: There is no better way to make your Fed Cup by BNP Paribas debut than by winning the deciding point for your country. That is exactly what local heroine, 20-year-old Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor, knew she would be attempting when she stepped onto the court this morning. A win would send Spain through to the World Group play-offs, and a win was exactly what she delivered. It was an emphatic win at that, defeating Ukraine's Yuliya Beygelzimer 64 62. The tie, played at the Club Atletico Montemar in Alicante ended 3-1 in Spain's favour, after Ukraine won the dead doubles rubber.
"I couldn't ask for anything more. I was a little nervous but I worked hard and took it game-by-game, and I am very happy to have won at home". Torro-Flor's happiness was huge, almost as huge as the faith shown by her captain Conchita Martinez. "She might have been surprised but I had total confidence in her. She has a huge potential and if she starts playing more sensibly in her matches, she will fly up the rankings".
The injury that Lourdes Dominguez Lino suffered yesterday, a muscle strain, could not keep her away from the match which could decide the tie. Her substitution for debutante Torro-Flor answered more tactical questions than physical ones for Conchita Martinez.
What the Spanish captain did not know, however, was that, in the Ukrainian camp, Lesia Tsurenko was forced to pull out after the first day's play. Her replacement, Yuliya Beygelzimer, returned to Fed Cup action after a five-year break, despite having been nominated in three of the last four squads. Having dropped to No. 167 in the world rankings, the signs were there that she was not in the best of form.
The Alicante crowd were chomping at the bit to see Torro-Flor in action, not just because she is a local favourite, but also because she is widely regarded as one of the hottest prospects of women's tennis in Spain. The 20-year-old from Villena, where former world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero's academy is based, made an inauspicious start, making early errors, with most hitting the net.
"At the start, my legs weren't moving, but I loosened it and was able to start playing properly. I had to play with a lot more height because I know that makes these girls less comfortable". The difference in ability was evident and Torro-Flor broke serve to seal the first set, before racing through the second set with ease.
Torro-Flor's first call up to the squad came after reaching her first Grand Slam in Australia and capturing her first title in the doubles in Hobart, following an excellent 2012 in which she was the most decorated player on the ITF Pro Circuit, winning a total of seven titles. She was also only one win away from equalling the consecutive win record of 30. "I'm trying not to think of that, but, if it comes, great!"
Her objective for this year is to break in to the Top 100 in the rankings: "It's going to be a tough year, I know that I have to keep improving and reach a higher level. In the WTA tour the girls are stronger mentally, they don't give in when facing defeat and they maintain a high level throughout every match".
The tie ended with a victory for the Ukrainian doubles team of Olga Savchuk and Yuliya Beygelzimer against the local hero and Nuria Llagostera Vives 63 26 10-5. Spain will know who they will face in the play-off this Wednesday, with the ties to be played on 20-21 April.

Could it have belonged to the 18th-century pirate? PUBLISHED January 14, 2011 0 1 / 6 Blackbeard's Sword? Could this partly gilded hilt have held Blackbeard's sword? There's no way to know for sure, though it was found amid the North Carolina wreck of the Queen Anne's Revenge, the flagship of the infamous 18th-century pirate.Since 1997, archaeologists have been excavating the Queen Anne's Revenge. The sword hilt—found in pieces but reassembled for this picture—is among their latest finds and was revealed to the public this month.(Related: exclusive pictures of Blackbeard pirate relics and gold.)After running aground on a sandbar in 1718 near the town of Beaufort (map), the ship was abandoned but likely remained intact and partly above water for as long as a year before collapsing and disintegrating, according to archaeologist David Moore of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources."In any event," he said, "the pirates would have had ample opportunity to take anything that they thought valuable." The newfound hilt may have been left behind because it was unwanted, or it may have been inaccessible, according to Moore's colleague Wendy Welsh, a conservator on the project.Blackbeard's brief career as a pirate lasted only about two years, but during that time he became one of history's most feared outlaws. Operating in the West Indies (map) and off the coast of colonial America, he struck terror into the hearts of commercial ships' captains and once held the entire city of Charleston, South Carolina (map), hostage.—Willie Drye Photograph courtesy Wendy M. Welsh, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Elegantly Wasted A decorative chain once ran from the hole in the newfound sword hilt's quillon (pictured) to the pommel (not pictured), an ornamental knob at the base of the hilt.Recovered from the Queen Anne's Revenge wreck site in 2008, the quillon could have been made in England or France, according to Wendy Welsh, conservator of the Queen Anne's Revenge artifacts for the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources.Beyond the hilt, only a stump of the blade remains, but Welsh said Jan Piet Puype, a Dutch arms historian, thinks the weapon was probably relatively short and was carried by a gentleman with some status—at least before a pirate got hold of it.Although it could have been used for self-defense, the sword was mainly a decorative accessory and was manufactured sometime between the mid-17th century and the early 18th century, according to Puype.(Also see "Grim Life Cursed Real Pirates of Caribbean.") Photograph courtesy Wendy M. Welsh, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Grabbing History by the Horns Recovered by divers in 2010, two years after the quillon was found, this carved antler formed the sword's handle.Experts hope to determine the antler's origin, which could help pinpoint where the weapon was made, conservator Wendy Welsh said. But, she added, there's "no way of knowing" how the sword ended up aboard Blackbeard's flagship.(Related: "'Blackbeard's Ship' Wreck to Get Protection From Currents, Hurricanes.") Photograph courtesy Wendy M. Welsh, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Archaeology in Bloom Where others see flowers and faces, Queen Anne's Revenge experts see evidence on this pommel. For example, the flowers are irises—aka fleurs-de-lis, the royal emblem of France.Before Blackbeard captured the ship and renamed it the Queen Anne's Revenge, it had been a private French slave ship, the Concorde. The pommel's floral embellishments may be clues that the sword too originated in France.(Related: "Pirate Coast Campaign Was U.S.'s First War on Terror, Authors Say.") Photograph courtesy Wendy M. Welsh, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Deadeye Encrustations cover a newly revealed, 3-foot-long (91-centimeter-long) wooden deadeye, a pulley that would have helped hold sails in place on the pirate Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge.The deadeye survived the ocean waters that claimed most of the rest of the Queen Anne's Revenge because the pulley became overgrown with minerals and was buried for almost 300 years in sand and sediment.Until they can remove the minerals and treat the artifact so it won't deteriorate in air, conservators are keeping the deadeye underwater in a lab tank.(Play a Blackbeard interactive game.) Photograph by Shanna Daniel, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Blackbeard's Staying Power Still underwater at the Queen Anne's Revenge wreck site, this anchor is about 12 feet (3.7 meters) long and 10 feet (3 meters) wide. Eventually it will be brought to the surface, archaeologists say.Divers have been removing artifacts from the wreck site since it was discovered in the mid-1990s. Some of the newest will go on display in June at the North Carolina Maritime Museum for the 293rd anniversary of the grounding of the Queen Anne's Revenge in 1718. (See "'Blackbeard's Ship' Yields New Clues to Pirate Mystery.")Only about half of the wreck site has been excavated, which should leave archaeologists with plenty to do this summer, when excavations should resume this summer, budget permitting.

The nice lady in customer service told me about their special offer of three free magazines and pouch to those who have purchased one of their new handguns between Aug 1st and Oct 31st of this year. She asked if I still wanted to place my order in spite of their free offer, which I did on Aug. 11th. On that same day I sent them by mail the required proof of purchase and form. Springfield notified me by e-mail 2 days later that it had been processed and approved. I received my initial order on Aug 15th and the free magazines and pouch on Aug. 20th. They said to allow 8 to 12 weeks for their free offer. Man, was I surprised, that was fast! Oh by the way it is a real nice firearm! Just had to have it, and had no idea at the time of their generous offer.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he rejects threats by any state that it might take military action against another.
Speaking at the opening of the annual UN General Assembly, Ban said, "Any such attacks would be devastating."
Ban did not specify what countries he was talking about.
In recent months, rising tensions over Iran's nuclear program have included warnings from Israel, a U.S. ally, that it might take military action against Iran if Tehran ignores UN requests to stop uranium enrichment and other controversial nuclear activities.
Western powers accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies.

Now that the Express Yourself event has come and gone (and it was great to see those of you who made it, I wanted to present to you, the faithful readers of UX-Strategy an in-depth view of the event.
We had a great event, with more than 166 people attending – it was a great joy to see how much fun people had, and how engaged both the teams and the party goers were in the problem.
Check out the photostream here: http://flickr.com/photos/tags/expressyourself/
Without further ado…
The Problem Statement:
One of the most profound aspects of the internet is its ability to connect people, share ideas, and share content (particularly video). Ideas, opinions, news, art, and content in general, have never had the freedom and speed of movement they now have as a result of the internet. The internet is the forum of the global village.
The global village has some problems, however. These same characteristics, however, make the internet a decidedly non-child safe environment. Parents are faced with several unsavory options:
- They can throw caution to the wind and hope that their children do not find anything too inappropriate
- They can use software to block entire URLs
- They can use software to log what their children have looked at, who they've spoken to, and what conversations they've had
- Some combination of the above
The Challenge
Your challenge is to design an environment that allows children to share media / content as well as interact socially with each other in a child safe way. A large part of this design challenge is to make whatever experience desirable, rather than simply a forced option. Specific features and functionality should be determined by the needs of the personas (see following pages). While your solution does not need to be functional, it must simulate the experience of each of the personas you've chosen to solve for.
You may assume that Mary has solved whatever issues she was having with blocking her daughter from undesirable sites.
Your solution may use any combination of web (ASP.net, Silverlight) or application (WPF) components.
- The contestants must use Expression and/or Visual Studio to develop their solution
- The contestants may use any additional technologies they wish as necessary, but should be used as supporting technologies only
- The contestants must stop work on their solutions at 7:55p on June 22nd by the watch of the party organizer
- The contestants may leverage conceptual work from other projects, but should not leverage any code or design assets
- Contestants may not collaborate outside of the their team, except with Microsoft support staff
Evaluation Criteria
The contestants will be evaluated in these five areas:
- Satisfaction of Constituent Needs: How well does the needs of the constituencies as defined by the profile? Is the experience appropriate for the audience? How elegant is the experience?
- Satisfaction of the Market: How well does the solution address the market needs? Will the solution work across all of the identified constituencies?
- Uniqueness of the solution: Is the solution unique, differentiated and defensible?
- Technical Excellence: Was the team able to build a working solution (however limited), or is it purely a scripted prototype?
- Aesthetics: How visually appealing is the solution?

Riding with my Son
Well I've none of me on my old bike, as I only ride that 'Billy no mates'. So here's one of me racing in the mid 70's
Me up front on my old Reg Barnett, wheels were given to me by Falcon pro Nigel Dean.
And here's my only old road bike.
Still racing in the over 50s and now I'm the chairman of our club!
And here's a blurry picture of me just about to start this summer just gone.
Awesome Chilipapa - that's inspirational. I've never lived where there was a lot of racing so have to create it in my own mind while training.

Everything in life is about bikes. Except bikes, bikes are about power.
I don't have one of me on my bike, but here is one I found from my previous life...
And this is my bike
