The movie version of The Giver hits theaters today. It's followed next weekend by If I Stay. If neither title rings a bell, ask a fifteen-year-old. A long line of young adult (YA) novels and series have made it to the multiplex in recent years, including some big Hollywood hits like The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent, The Hunger Games, and, of course, Harry Potter that were well known to teens and tweens long before Hollywood took notice.
If the studios are looking for the next big thing, maybe they should hold pitch meetings in middle school. Here are our favorite YA novels still waiting for their adaptation to the silver screen.
The Giver is Lowry's best—and best-known—novel, but Number the Stars might make a better movie. Set in Nazi-occupied Denmark during World War II, it tells the story of ten-year-old Annemarie and her family, who protect the girl's Jewish best friend by pretending she is Annemarie's late older sister, a resistance member who had died earlier in the war.
Myers, who died last month at age 76, is the August Wilson of YA fiction. He wrote dozens of books chronicling the lives of young African Americans, usually boys, any one of which would make terrific films: Hoops, Scorpions, Fallen Angels, and its sequel Sunrise over Fallujah. How is it possible that his 1999 book Monster not already a Spike Lee movie? The story of a sixteen-year old charged with murder in a botched drugstore robbery (the prosecutor calls him a monster) is even written in part as a screenplay, and it has never felt more relevant and topical.
A dark and depressing narrative about teen suicide, this isn't a "great" book—but it will make a terrific movie. The story unfolds through the voice of a deceased young woman who has left behind cassette tapes, passed along chain-letter style, explaining to twelve other kids their role in her decision to die. It was optioned several years ago as a vehicle for Selena Gomez, but she'll probably be too old to play Hannah Baker by the time this movie gets made.
Yes, it's already a movie, and a pretty good one, but it's time for a remake—a black and white movie might as well be a homework assignment for the fourteen-and-under set. It's a pity Sam Waterston is now too old to play Atticus Finch. The Gregory Peck role will end up being reprised by Matthew McCaugheney (furthering the McConaissance), Johnny Depp, or, inevitably, George Clooney, but it's still well past time to update this classic for today's teens.
Spinelli is another terrific author largely unknown outside of middle school. His Newberry Award–winning Maniac Magee would be the most obvious choice for film adaptation, but Wringer would be the better one. Every year in Palmer LaRue's hometown, the big annual event is a pigeon shoot. Boys can't wait to turn ten years old so they can become "wringers" and compete to snap the necks of wounded birds. But Palmer is the only boy in town who doesn't want to be a wringer. In fact, he secretly owns a pet pigeon. And he's nine.
Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is the sole survivor of a small plane crash in the Canadian wilderness. He's lucky enough to have a hatchet, but not much else, and must learn to make fire, hunt, and build a shelter while day by day his hope for rescue fades. The book was apparently made into a cable TV movie twenty-five years ago called A Cry in the Wilderness—think Castaway for teens and tweens.
A young orphan armed with a few mementoes from his mother goes off in search of musician Herman E. Calloway in Depression-era Michigan, convinced that the jazzman is his father. Denzel Washington is now old enough to pull off the gruff and irascible Calloway. And who is the kid who stars in the YouTube Kid President videos? He is Bud.
We queried a number of teachers on books they'd love to see turned into movies. A Wrinkle in Time was among the most frequently cited. Honestly? It's wildly overpraised and at times incomprehensible. However, Wrinkle's been optioned by Jennifer Lee, who most recently directed Frozen, so we'll see how she does without Idina Menzel's vocals to carry the film.
And speaking of Frozen, here are a few for Disney to consider:
This modern children's classic—about a young girl living in Manhattan, her family, and her favorite stuffed animal—is ripe for a transition to the big screen. A live action/animated mix, in which Knuffle Bunny is animated but actors play Trixie and her parents, would be perfect. Dad would be an affable shirt-untucked kind of dude (James van der Beek in glasses, most likely). Jessica Alba—an actress now also known for being a mom—would be pitch-perfect as Trixie's mom.
Any Vera B. Williams book is ripe to be made into a family classic, but this tale about a young girl, her grandmother, and her hardworking single mom who save to buy a new chair after a house fire should be first in line. It features great characters, imagery, and a relatable storyline with plenty of feel-good stakes. Quevenzhane Wallis would play the lead, while Jennifer Hudson could play the waitress-mom.
The classic tale of a slightly self-centered but hilariously entertaining young mouse and her family would probably be a better animated TV series, a la Arthur, but any Kevin Henkes book would make for a lively, kid-friendly movie. George and Martha is another book that would probably translate better to TV as well, and should happen.
This political allegory would make a great darkly animated movie (think Coraline or any Tim Burton classic). It would be fun for kids but also engaging for parents, and Sandra Bullock, who read the book over and over again to her on-screen sons in The Blind Side, should voice the mom.
Paging Spike Jonze. The director, who made a divisive adaptation of Sendak's most famous book, should also take on the late author's most controversial, about a young boy's dream journey through a baker's kitchen.

Okay so after all the tall tales of your heroic misadventures on finishing Assassins Creed II, the update that you have been waiting for has yet to arrive, faster than what you've expected. According to crunchgear, it appears Assassin's Creed III will be released on a fiscal year of 2010-2011 and will begin as early as April 2010 . A recent financial release from Ubisoft suggests that this year will be aimed for updates and heightening their seems to be 'downward performance' last year. You can get the pdf version here
Initial information on the 2010-11 line-up
The 2010-11 fiscal year will see a greater number of franchise releases than in 2009-10, including Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction™, a new game in the Tom Clancy™'s Ghost Recon® series, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands™, Driver®, Raving Rabbids™ 4 and a new episode of Assassin's Creed®, which will be the first in the series to have an online multiplayer mode.
Now, Ubisoft didn't specifically said that this will be named as Assassin's Creed III or just a minor revamp of the old version (Sorry, but I really want them to specifically say Assassin's Creed III) But anyway, at least AC fans will be looking forward for something new again, don't they?
We will update you as soon as we get a more lengthy statement for this one.

Tad Gormley Stadium (originally City Park Stadium) is a 26,500 seat multi-purpose outdoor stadium, located in City Park, in New Orleans, Louisiana, named for Frank "Tad" Gormley.[1]
The stadium is home to the University of New Orleans Privateers men's and women's track teams. It is also frequently used for Louisiana High School Athletic Association football games, soccer games[2] and track meets. The stadium features GameDay Grass MT from AstroTurf, a 400-meter all-weather track, three locker rooms, a press box seating 110, and press suite seating for 40.[3][4]
Tad Gormley Stadium was built in 1937 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression. It has been used for football, track & field, and soccer. It played host to the 1992 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials for the 1992 Summer Olympic games held in Barcelona, Spain. The Tulane Green Wave football team played four homecoming games and one non-conference game at the stadium in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2008.[5] This was to provide more tailgating opportunities for fans than at their former regular home stadium, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome (previously known as the Louisiana Superdome). The University of New Orleans Privateers' club football team played in the stadium from 1965-1968 and again from 2008-2011. The stadium was also home to the New Orleans Pelicans (baseball) team from 1958-1959, after the closing of Pelican Stadium in 1957. The New Orleans Riverboat Gamblers of the USL A-League played in the stadium from 1996-1997.
In its early years, the stadium would host high school games in front of sellout crowds with standing-room only crowds surrounding the playing field. The record for attendance was set in 1940 when 34,345 spectators attended a game between Jesuit High School of New Orleans and Holy Cross High School, also of New Orleans. The stadium has also hosted Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) state championship football games.
The last Class AAAA championship game held in the stadium was on December 10, 1971 when Brother Martin defeated New Orleans Catholic League rival St. Augustine 23-0 in front of 25,000. The last title game in the facility was in 1975, when John Curtis defeated Notre Dame of Crowley 13-12 for the Class AA title, the Patriots' first.
On March 28, 1982 the stadium hosted a World Cup tune-up match for the Honduras National Team against the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League.[6] The match ended in a 1–1 draw.[7]
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina flooded the stadium, along with parts of New Orleans. It remained structurally sound, but required major repairs to the electrical and plumbing systems along with the playing field. In 2006, running back Reggie Bush was drafted by the New Orleans Saints. He donated over $80,000 to repair the playing field. In acknowledgement of his generosity, Tad Gormley Stadium's playing field was renamed Reggie Bush Field. The first event held at the newly renovated stadium was an LHSAA high school prep-football game on September 21, 2006 pitting Brother Martin High School versus L.W. Higgins High School.
The stadium hosted another international friendly match on February 4, 2012 between Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire Soccer Club and Honduran soccer club Real C.D. España.[8]
Tad Gormley stadium has also hosted concerts by many famous artists, including The Beatles, Pearl Jam, Journey, and Rage Against the Machine, among others.[9][10]

The Humboldt County Coroner's Office confirmed today that Nina Winogradov, 68, was the woman who died the previous day after being hit by a car while crossing at an intersection about two blocks south of Zane Middle School in Eureka.
Deputy Coroner Trevor Enright said the autopsy results confirmed blunt force trauma was the cause of death.
Eureka Police Department Senior Traffic Officer Gary Whitmer said preliminary information indicates Timothy McTague, 53, of Eureka, was driving a silver 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and struck Winogradov while turning onto S Street.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were believed to be factors in the accident, Whitmer said.
Winogradov was out walking her dog when she was killed, said her husband Dave Silverbrand, who is also a Times-Standard columnist and local television personality. He said Winogradov walked Fiona, a fluffy, white dog with dyed pink ears, every morning.
"It got to be pretty well known around town she was the lady with the pink dog," Silverbrand said, adding that the dog was OK.
Winogradov was described as a humble, low key, determined, proud woman with a wonderful personality by her family.
"For me she was lightning in a bottle," Silverbrand said. "The woman had more energy than 12 people combined, and she had a heart that was open to so many people. She was always reaching out to help people. The thing that's remarkable about her is that she got to be a celebrity in her own simple way."
Silverbrand met Winogradov 20 years ago, he said. She was first a cosmetologist, and then later owned and managed a home for the elderly for a number of years.
"People knew her as my wife, and me as her husband," Silverbrand said. "I think the two of us were a good match for each other because she was very practical and I'm very impractical.
"I taught her how to play. She taught me how to be serious," he said. "I think that was the beauty of our relationship."
Nina Winogradov was a beautiful person, her son Bob Winogradov said.
"She was such a strong woman," Bob Winogradov said. "She took care of housework, ran her business and still found the time to just be there for everybody. Everybody looked at her as an angel."
In her spare time, Nina Winogradov loved to spend time with her family and Fiona, he said.
Leslie Lollich, who used to work with Silverbrand and is acquainted with Nina Winogradov, described her as a very elegant, sweet, hard-working person. Lollich said she saw Nina Winogradov on her morning walks a couple of times a week.
"It's very sad," Lollich said. "It's going to be a big loss for her family."
Nina Winogradov is survived by her husband, Dave Silverbrand, son, Bob Winogradov, daughter, Elvira Torres, and grandchildren Alyssa Winogradov, Marcus Torres and Laticia Torres.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Bernard's Catholic Church, located at 615 H St. in Eureka. The service is open to the public. Flowers can be sent to the church.
"I just had so much admiration for her and her intelligence," Silverbrand said. "I think she was everybody's mother or sister. And she was my best friend."
Lorna Rodriguez can be reached at 441-0506 or email@example.com.

Quote from: app103 on April 27, 2007, 05:31 AMIt's reasons like this that I went for EIDE drives and not SATA. I want to be able to pop them in my other pc if I have to.speaking of which, is there a IDE to SATA converter? so that i can the use the older IDE drives on newer motherboards..
It's reasons like this that I went for EIDE drives and not SATA. I want to be able to pop them in my other pc if I have to.
f0dder, you mean something like this: IDE Hard Drive to SATA port Converter? i don't need an enclosure because i already use one..btw, thanks Carol for pointing out the terms.. i didn't know IDE is now known as PATA..
Yep - thats the sort of thing I meant - but app103's PCI card is a good solution if you have a PCI slot - and probably cheaper if you want more than a couple of drives. I presume the PCI card will run normal ATAPI optical drives too.
You should be able to boot from it - but I'd guess it depends on your BIOS settings (may be worth a look if it doesn't work immediately as there are settings to allow PCI cards to respond to the BIOS)

Install dimmer switches throughout the house and create a safe and comfortable environment for all the members of your family.
By Gene and
Katie Hamilton
Once you live in a house with dimmer light switch controls you forget how limiting a standard toggle switch is. With a touch pad that responds to your finger a light switch is easy to operate - especially if someone in the house has arthritis or a sore wrist - and it gives you control lighting the room. You slide your finger up and the light goes on; slide it down the pad and the light dims.
Use dimmers to control general lighting and for highlighting a favorite art piece or fireplace mantle. Figure on paying an electrician about $160 to replace five typical toggle switches with dimmer switches. Once you have one, you'll want them everywhere in a family friendly home.

John and Lewis Rose
Biography courteously provided by Joyce Riedinger, Delaware County Coordinator.
JOHN and LEWIS ROSE are well-know wagon-makers in the village of Hamden, where they have a firmly established trade. John Rose, the senior member of the firm, was born in 1859 in Sullivan County, New York; and Lewis Rose, the junior member, is a native of the same place. Their father, Austin Rose, who is now living in the town of Hamden, retired from agricultural pursuits, was born in Greene County, New York, in 1815, and although never possessing very vigorous bodily health, still retains the full use of his mental powers, being a bright and active man of nearly four-score years. He has been twice married.
His first wife, Harriet Carley, bore him one child, Edwin L. Rose, who, when a boy of sixteen years, enlisted in the Fifty-sixth New York Volunteer Infantry (see www.56thnyvi.com/photos/thenpart4.htm) , and after the close of the war joined the band of adventurous and enterprising young men who sought their fortunes in the Black Hills. The father was also a soldier in the late Rebellion, having enlisted October 16, 1862, but, after serving a little more than a year, was discharged, coming home in December, 1863, physically disabled. The maiden name of his second wife, to whom he was married in 1857, was Harriet Haines. She was one of four children, two daughters and two sons, born to her parents, Lewis and Lucy (Congdon) Haines, neither of whom is now living. By this marriage the two sons of whom we write were the only children. In politics the father has been a life-long Democrat, and, although not in sympathy with the methods of the Prohibitionists, has never used intoxicating drinks. His wife is a consistent member of the Methodist church.
Tobias Rose, the father of Austin Rose, was for many years engaged in farming in Ulster County, removing from there to Greene County in 1819, bringing with him his wife and six children. Two more children were added to their household, and of these eight children three sons are now living. The parents subsequently returned to Ulster County where both lived until far advanced in years.
The life records of John and Lewis Rose have been very similar, both having left school at an early age to earn something toward their own support, entering the employment of J. B. Gardner at Fallsburg. Lewis began to sandpaper woodwork at the age of eight years, and to do odd chores about the shop. Two years later he was doing mechanical work, receiving twenty cents a day, and boarding at home, his brother John, who was then eleven years of age, getting twenty-five cents a day. After remaining thus employed for five years, they started out as journeymen; and from that time until the present day these sterling mechanics have worked continuously at their trade. They have been obliged to rely solely upon their own efforts, their father coming out of the army, poor, not only in health, but in purse; and the self-reliance thus early necessitated has contributed largely to their success in life. In February, 1885, Messrs. Rose bought out the business of E. B. Buckingham, and have since carried on a substantial trade in this village. They have without doubt had a wider experience in wagon-making than any other one of their years in Delaware County.
John Rose entered the matrimonial estate October 9, 1883, being then wedded to Georgiana Greif, of Delhi. Three children have been born to them, namely: Paul, who was taken away when only three months old; Gertrude E., born April 8, 1892; and Helen, born March 24, 1894. Socially, Mr. John Rose is a Knight Templar, belonging to the Norwich Commandery. He is a sincere worshipper at the Methodist church, and is superintendent of the Sunday-school. Politically, both he and his brother are stanch members of the Republican party. On November 10, 1887, Lewis Rose was married to Gertrude, daughter of John Griffin. Her father came to this country from Germany when a young man, and was here wed to Elizabeth Face, who is now a widow, and resides in Delhi.

Thank you for your question. I am aware of 1 patient who had nipple piercing after breast augmentation and developed a serious life-threatening infection. Her implants had to be removed on an emergency basis, she developed toxic shock syndrome, but fortunately survived.
Of course I cannot prove that her nipple piercing produced this infection but the infection occurred within 10 days of the nipple piercing. At surgery infection, and abscess tracked directly through her nipple through the breast gland and around the implant. She may have had her piercing done under conditions that were not sterile, but I have always cautioned patients if they choose to have nipple piercing that it be done before not after breast augmentation.

MALTA, N.Y. – An early morning fire has completely destroyed
a Dunkin Donuts in Malta.
Officials said the call for the fire on Dunning Street came
in just before 3 a.m. Thursday. Multiple crews responded, and it took several hours
for the fire to be knocked down.
A cause for the fire is still under investigation, but Malta
Ridge Fire Chief said it appeared the fire started in the back of the building
near the ovens.
The owner of the Dunkin' Donuts said he had the building
built ten years ago, and it was recently remodeled.
The store was not open at the time the fire began, but at
least one employee was inside but got out safely.
The restaurant also operated as a manufacturing facility
that delivered doughnuts to surrounding stores. There were also offices in the
back of the building.
The Dunkin' Donuts has been deemed a total loss. The fire
has been put out but crews were still working on hot spots Thursday morning.
Cold weather and ice made it difficult for crews to put out the blaze.

The PreSonus FireStudio is the next generation in FireWire recording systems from PreSonus. Based on the award-winning Firepod, the FireStudio combines superior analog circuit design with new advanced platform technology to deliver enhanced performance for music recording and creation.
The FireStudio is a 26x26 24-bit/96k professional recording system combining eight XMAX Class A PreSonus microphone preamplifiers, up to sixteen channels of optical ADAT input / output, S/PDIF and MIDI input / output, along with the Control Console - a 36x36x18 zero latency mixer/router. The FireStudio also includes the ProPak Complete, a bundle of over 2GB of award-winning recording and production software, virtual instruments, plug-ins, drum loops and samples to get you started making music immediately.
Superior Analog Circuitry - XMAX Class A Preamplifiers
The FireStudio starts with eight custom-designed high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers. Many other companies offering recording interfaces add the cheapest possible microphone preamplifier as an afterthought to the interface. PreSonus knows that the preamplifier is a key component in the sonic quality of a recording. The job of a microphone preamplifier is to boost microphone level signals to line level so that the signal can be converted from analog to digital. This mic to line boost is generally a preamplification of over 400 times the voltage of the original mic level signal. This preamplification stage is one of the most important stages that the signal will go through before converted to digital, and is why a high performance preamplifier is important to achieving great results. A cheap "off the shelf op-amp" type mic preamp that is found in most interfaces translates into thin, noisy and harsh results.
All XMAX preamplifiers are built with the same three elements:
High Voltage - The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Most off the shelf op amp based designs run on power rails of 10V to 18V. Higher voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs and an overall fuller sound.
Discrete - No op amps. Only transistors, resistors and capacitors. Op amps add noise, coloration and harshness to a signal. Discrete designs deliver ultra low noise and transparency.
Class A - When a circuit is running in Class A mode the circuit is always in an "on" state operating at its optimal voltage requirements. Class A mode has zero crossover distortion and delivers purer, clearer and more musical sonics than class A/B designs which are found in most op-amp circuits.
The net result of the XMAX preamp design is high headroom, low noise, wide dynamic range and wide frequency range, and most importantly, musicality and transparency - smooth highs, solid deep lows, and everything in between.
New Advanced Platform Technology - DICE II and JetPLL
The FireStudio is loaded with the new ultra powerful DICE II FireWire chipset delivering 26 channels of simultaneous inputs and outputs at professional-quality 24-bit. The strength of the DICE II chip lies with its ability to easilly handle high channel count at high bit-rate while minimizing latency and load on your computer.

Now's a great time of the year to take your workout outside. Put your running shoes on, grab a jump rope and head to a park to destress with this short and intense outdoor workout:
- Jog for five minutes, then find some stairs.
- Do five minutes of stair climbing, the first two minutes of stepping on every step. During the last three minutes, feel free to skip up as many stairs as you want. Your legs will begin to feel tired. Do your best!
- Give your legs a break by doing pushups and triceps dips on a park bench, alternating exercises three times and doing as many reps as you can manage.
- Jog for another five minutes and find a reasonably comfortable space for some jump roping.
- Jump rope for a minute as quick as you can. Take a 30 second break and do 30 walking lunges. Alternate between jumping rope and lunging for three sets.
- Get ready for your final jog. Push the pace on this last interval and leave about 2-3 minutes to slowly cool down.
Don't forget to stretch!

Worth every penny!While I was hesitant to splurge on a petite tin of candles, when I smelled each scent I fell in love with the crisp and clean scents that were pungent yet not overwhelming. Although they're all packaged together in the adorable hexagonal tin, they manage to retain their own unique scents. Well worth the price! — 9 years, 9 months agochscrt123 | 2 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Now, I don't use these often, but... I've completed my last set of hill repeats of this training plan!!! I ran my repeats on the same section of hill 3 of the past 4 weeks. My plan skipped hills last week, so 3 of 4 was a plan, not a skip. Don't get me wrong, I love hills--especially loved them this morning.
The actual plan is flexible--it just says 8-10 hills. I chose a section that had ~100ft of climbing in 1/3 of a mile, and I race up that thing for the first time on March 19th. It was tough. I blooped about it. I only made the entire section 4 times, and then I cut the distance in half, and then half again to get 8 repeats.
The second time, I made it up the full that hill 6 times.
Today was the third attempt, and I was hoping to complete 8. I was wiped out after 2, wicked tired after 6, but then I channeled me some flying tomato, and finished off 7 and 8. Then I threw in a couple more shorter repeats just because I had a little spare time.
As promised....
I've got to say, I'm felling pretty strong. Now if I could just drop another 10 pounds.
And a note: I bought some New Balance 890s for recovery runs. 44 miles later and I've got a sneaking suspicion that they are the root of my foot pain. What a bummer. They felt really good in the store. Oh well, I hope they work for every-day shoes. 44 miles is just silly.

Troubles with somewhat complicated ASA-SRX tunnels

I have a somewhat complicated setup, we are currently in the process of migrating our office network (replacing our ASA5505 router, renumbering our internal network, moving QA and test equipment out), and I'm having some problems bringing up a working VPN tunnel between the ASA and our new SRX240.
I've attached a diagram. Please try to not view it on a full stomach, or if you have a heart condition. I think there are only 8 different, haphazardly-assigned netblocks behind the "old network" (plus the random /24 transit netblock between the ASA and the L3 switch), but there might be more. I am sticking everything new into the one /19 behind the SRX.
However, because there's gear in all of those networks, a simple route-based VPN isn't going to work for me. Sadface. I considered going the quick-and-dirty route GRE-inside-IPSEC route, but unfortunately you cannot terminate GRE on a Cisco ASA. You -can-, however, terminate it on a 4948, running full IOS - except, for some reason, I cannot reach the old-network L3 switch from any device on the new network.
Currently, as the config works now, I can, from any device in 172.16.96.0/19, ping the inside interface on the ASA (192.168.1.1). I cannot ping the L3 interface on the switch (.14), nor any other device in 192.168.1.0/24. From the ASA, if i do 'ping inside $ip', I can ping anything in 172.16.96.0/19, but I cannot ping from anything else in the old network (including the L3 switch) to the new network.
Normally I would just cable up an interface between the ASA and the SRX, stick both sides on the trusted/inside security zone, slap some routes together and go. However, we have two datacenters (East and West) with an ASA5510 and ASA5505, respectively, that we need tunnels to, and I figured breaking the office is better than breaking a datacenter. Luckily, these will also be renumbered and re-engineered with Vendor-J equipment at a later date - sadly, not this quarter.
I'm pretty sure that to get this working, I'm going to have to move to a policy-based VPN. But I'd like to see it at least pass SOME traffic beyond the ASA before I go into reworking that. Anyone have any suggestions?
Relevant ASA config (There's some random ACL stuff in there, I've been trying different things to convince it to work):
interface Ethernet0/3
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address x.x.x.34 255.255.255.224

Oh, fun! You've come across the "what if my VPN has more than one Phase II SA" use case.
The reason your test case w/ just one SA is not working is pretty simple: You have a proxy-id of 172.16.96.0/19 <-> 192.168.1.0/24, and you do not have a corresponding entry in your new_network_cryptomap.
Cisco ASA is quite strict when it comes to Phase II ids. a) they have to match exactly on both sides, and b) they have to match the traffic you are actually sending through the tunnel.
I have seen nothing in your setup that suggests the need to NAT within the tunnel. You only have one network on the SRX side, which simplifies things greatly.
Therefore, going with a policy-based VPN is a reasonable step to take. You'd just have one line of policy for each SA pairing.
This will work as long as you do not a) NAT any traffic across the tunnel and b) do not static-NAT any of the destination servers on the SRX side on the Untrust interface.
You can get around b) (should it be an issue in your environment) by using a source/destination NAT pair instead on Untrust. Though truth be told I don't think we tested that, but I do seem to remember we were thinking it should work.
If NATs are ruining your day with this VPN, then you do still have another option: Route-based VPNs with NHTB. I'll try and copy/paste the writeup I did on that. No guarantees as to how well the formatting will survive.
The challenge
You have been tasked to set up a VPN between a Juniper SRX firewall and a Cisco ASA/PIX firewall. This can be challenging because of the interplay of NAT and the specific requirements of a Cisco VPN.
- Cisco uses ACLs to define Phase 2 "proxy IDs". Cisco requires that the source and destination IPs of the traffic traversing the tunnel "fit with" the proxy ID of the Phase 2 SA the traffic arrives in. When you have multiple destinations and sources, this can become complex quickly.
- Juniper recommends to use policy-based VPNs for this situation, creating one policy for each source/destination combination. On the Juniper side, proxy IDs are then derived from each policy.
- Policy-based VPNs will cease to function for hosts that have had static NAT applied to them on the Untrust (outside) interface, such as web or mail servers
- Policy-based VPNs cannot NAT the traffic traversing the VPN, as may be necessary when the remote side mandates the use of public IPs or there are overlapping network ranges
Solution: Configure a route-based VPN with NHTB (Next Hop Tunnel Binding)
Route-based VPNs can support bi-directional NAT through the tunnel, and will work for servers that have existing static NATs. Multiple Phase 2 configurations define each of the proxy ID pairs that may be required for the VPN. NHTB and routing select the correct Phase 2 (and thus proxy ID) to use depending on source and destination IP.
NB: This setup positively requires JunOS 10.0r3 or better. JunOS 10.0r2 has defects that breaks the routing in this design.
Example setup
The IP addresses and networks I will use to demonstrate this type of setup are:
- SRX outside interface: 172.16.1.1
- PIX outside interface: 172.16.2.1
- SRX protected network: 192.168.100.48/28
- SRX NAT space for protected network: 10.255.255.48/28
- PIX protected network: 10.255.252.48/28
- PIX protected host: 10.255.252.15/32
- st0 prefix: 172.31.255.1/24
This is close to the simplest setup you may encounter. There is only one source network on the SRX side, and two destinations on the PIX side. This allows for simple static destination NAT. The SRX device will NAT its own network for use through the VPN.
Alternate setups would have two or more source networks, in which case policy-based routing would need to be employed, or may require that the SRX NAT the traffic for the remote network, in which case the NAT clauses would need to be constructed a little differently.
Tunnel interface and NHTB
st0 {
unit 0 {
family inet {
next-hop-tunnel 172.31.255.2 ipsec-vpn CiscoASA-VPN-P2;
next-hop-tunnel 172.31.255.3 ipsec-vpn CiscoASA-VPN-P2-2;
address 172.31.255.1/24;
- st0 has an address of 172.31.255.1/24. Note the large mask: This is to allow for expansion in the future, as each proxy ID will need one "ephemeral" IP address. I have seen configurations with up to 400 different proxy IDs, in which case a /23 would be needed.
- multipoint enables NHTB
- next-hop-tunnel statements bind an "ephemeral" IP address to a specific Phase 2 configuration, and thus specific proxy ID. I call these IP addresses "ephemeral" because they do not actually exist on the Cisco PIX side: They are only used for purposes of NHTB
routing-options { static { route 10.255.252.48/28 next-hop 172.31.255.2; route 10.255.252.15/32 next-hop 172.31.255.3; } }
These routes have two purposes:
- They ensure that VPN traffic passes through st0.0, by routing to its subnet
- They "tie" each destination to a specific proxy ID by specifying the "ephemeral" IP referenced above, in the NHTB setup, as the next-hop for that destination
NB: If we had multiple source networks that needed to be represented in separate proxy IDs, simple destination-based static routing would not do the trick. You'd need to do policy-based routing, and decide the correct next-hop to specify based on both the source and destination IPs. This can quickly get complex: If you have 20 source networks and 20 destination networks, you end up with 400 possible combinations, and thus 400 proxy IDs, 400 Phase 2 entries, 400 next-hop-tunnel statements, and 400 policy-based route statements. To avoid getting into that situation, attempt to keep the number of objects as small as possible, by using subnets instead of hosts, and supernets instead of subnets.
IKE and IPSEC setup

proxy-identity {
local 10.255.255.48/28;
remote 10.255.252.48/28;
ipsec-policy IPSec-Policy1;
vpn CiscoASA-VPN-P2-2 {
bind-interface st0.0;
ike {
gateway CiscoASA-VPN-P1;
proxy-identity {
local 10.255.255.48/28;
remote 10.255.252.15/32;
ipsec-policy IPSec-Policy1;
In this case, 3DES / MD5 is mandated by the Cisco PIX side. When you can choose, AES-128/SHA-1 would be your preferred choice every time.
You see your standard setup for a route-based VPN, with one twist: There are two vpn statements, each defining a separate proxy-identity, bound to the same tunnel interface. Routing, and thus NHTB, will determine which Phase 2 entry is used for any given source/destination IP pair.
Proxy ID is always a combination of the SRX-side (local) network or host, and the PIX-side (remote) network or host. In this case, as we have only one SRX-side source (a network) and two PIX-side destinations (one network, one host), we need only two Phase 2 (vpn) definitions.
nat {
static {
rule-set AHS-NAT {
from zone vpn;
rule 1 {
match {
destination-address 10.255.255.48/28;
then {
static-nat prefix 192.168.100.48/28;
The st0 interface happens to be in the "vpn" zone in this example. A static NAT that translates from one subnet to another has been set up. As these addresses are to be NATed through a VPN, proxy ARPs are not needed.
Variations on this theme may be:
- You need to NAT the remote network, not your local network. In that case, the direction of the NAT is reversed: You'd have a "from zone <local>" statement, instead of "from zone vpn", where <local> would be the zone your traffic that is to traverse the VPN is originating from: This may be trust, or might be dmz.
- One or more of your local assets are already static-NATed on the Untrust interface. As you cannot have multiple static NATs for the same physical host, you would need to create a source NAT / destination NAT pair in this case. JunOS 10.2 would be required if you needed more than 8 source NAT / destination NAT statements (rules) in your rule-set dedicated to the VPN.
- You need to NAT the remote network, not your local network, AND you are sourcing traffic from more than one zone. As with the above scenario, since you cannot have multiple static NAT entries for the same physical host(s), you would need to use source NAT / destination NAT pairs. JunOS 10.2 would be required if you needed more than 8 source NAT / destination NAT statements (rules) in your rule-set dedicated to the VPN.

Yes, the child whacks the cute moles with a plastic mallet and those moles pop back up with a giggle! The moles are dressed with hard-hats if that makes you feel better :).
Lil' Duck was delighted on Christmas morning to find a toy where he could take it out and have some good ol' fun and have the Whac-A-Mole Game light up and giggle back at him. I was pleased to discover that there are various levels of play with a flip of a switch and it does teach the child to listen for their tune rather than just randomly whacking away. Another bonus is the child can play solo or with up to 4 players so this would make a good multi-age game for families.

Flash drives are nothing new to the promotional products industry (you can find Pinnacle's most popular USB flash drives online at The USB Drive Shop) Companies everywhere have been snagging up these little items imprinted with their business' name and logo to give away to customers and to use internally for their own data storage and transfer needs. But it seems that a new wave of USB flash drives is emerging care of a Korean company (the website is all in Korean but it appears to be called EARLYSHOP) that hand makes little flash drives to appear as tiny replicas of different types of food. Yummy.
Anyone who associates their brand with these drives is going to the top of my list.
And a special thanks to Bit Rebels who led me to this delicious discovery.

Can Bariatric Surgery Save On Long Term Medical Costs?
Kirsty at RealSelf on 28 Sep 2010 at 10:50am
Growing up in the United Kingdom, I sometimes take for granted that the National Health System (NHS) covers most medical requirements, including weight loss surgery. It's easy for me to look past the cost of things, because I never see a cost. Sure, a small amount comes out of my paycheck each month; however, that's nothing compared to medical costs or even medical insurance costs in the US.
So, reading an article recently on the amount of money that the NHS could potentially save by providing bariatric surgery to morbidly obese patients got me thinking. Can we really use weight loss surgery as a prevention for other obesity-related illnesses, and would this save us money? The answer is yes. In the UK, it could save the NHS and wider British economy billions each year, says a recent report written by the Office of Health Economics, an independent consultancy, and funded by health firms Allergan and Covidien.
We all know that gaining too much weight isn't good for us and as a result we try to watch what we eat, exercise, and generally maintain a healthy weight. However, for approximately one million people in Britain who are classed as morbidly obese, it isn't that easy.
For those classed as morbidly obese, exercise becomes unrealistic, working is increasingly difficult--meaning more time at home in front of the TV--and food is whatever requires the least amount of effort. Obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes and breathing difficulties become more likely, which puts a bigger strain on NHS resources.
According to Britain's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines, patients with a BMI of 40 or more--or those with a BMI of 35 and other obesity-related illnesses--should be assessed for bariatric surgery. This preventative care would lead to significant medical savings over the life of the patient, according to the OHE study.
So, by giving an obese individual weight loss surgery, we could save billions of pounds per year in GP time, hospital usage, doctors'/nurses' time and drugs.
If we can do this in the UK, the question then remains: Can it be duplicated in countries with huge obesity-related medical costs such as the US?

Believe it or not I am not really State Prior. Kurgan is real State Prior. All hail Kurgan!
The battle is over. I have lost, I had lost from the beginning. There was never a competition. All hail Kurgan!
Sorry to offend his mighty position. I will be forever condemned. All hail Kurgan!
Thank you Victor Kurgan for saving our party. All hail Kurgan!

I was a false Prophet of the Word. All hail Kurgan!
Kurgan, save the ILP from atheism. All hail Kurgan!
I ask for the forgiveness of the WORD and of Kurgan. All hail Kurgan!

wth is a "state prior" anyway? I'm unfamiliar with the term. Does it mean, like, "pre-hangover"?
This defines some RL religious title, of which I am aware. It doesn't explain wth is a state prior in eIreland.
Throw me another.....
Oh, btw, I never answer the Viktor fella any more, so assume I'm talking only to you, Usurper Gerald.
You just answered me Grainne...you are slipping.
State Prior is the one who takes care of all irish souls..good one, heretic one....even those souls who are posessed by SATAN!
State Prior is The Messenger of The Word to all Irish humaans...but will not get stingy to non irish too...
Grainne...to unerstand that one must have a moral code,honor and Faith.
You as Libertad never had and never will have that...so do not bother your little heretic brain...
It's not about Who is State Prior or about Kurgan...latest is irrelevant in this story....it was all about The Word.....
The Word accept the right words about The Word from once false prophet Geraldius.
And as long this article stays unchanged and readable, State Prior and Cleric of The Word will pause his holy crusade...
You guys really aren't doing the idea that everyone on the internet bar Facebook etc are losers and nerds a favour

Theory - Resolving ip address
Hi !
I would like to know how exactly my browser knows how to resolve an ip address when I type it directly in my browser.
I know about dns with name resolution, but what if I type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ?
I cannot understand what is the followed path to the final server in this precise case.
Doubt that it reaches zny dns server before being redirected, since it is not a name resolution but directly an ip resolution..
Any help ?
Only domain names are resolved to IP addresses, not IP addresses themselves. But I'm afraid your question is not specific enough to be answered concisely here (IMO). And there are loads of online doc about this subject:
Then, with more precise questions, you will probably get better answers.
name is resolved, it will be translated to an ip. ip is not resolved, ip is used to find another host.
Hi !
When i type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -> it goes on the root dns, then back to my registrar/hosting provider which has the ip and gives the right to go on my website which has a dedicated ip.
But, how can root-dns be aware of where to look at to find the ip ?? There are so many hosting providers !
That is my question. I think we are at the root of the internet with this one.
To clarify : it is to understand, I know everybody use dns, but I need to understand.
When you type IP address in browser window it will connect directly to server with this address, no DNS is used.
DNS does not care about that. the routing table will tell the host where to look for that given ip.
see here: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/...pc_r/48383.htm
But I just cannot imagine that the root servers do requests/memcache request for all the ip's.
What kind of datacenters would it be ?
Bunch of ram ??
Please excuse me for being a numb, but I just open the eyes.
According to some sources, we talk about 13 clusters of 345 machines overall to handle the whole internet traffic.
The ram needed would not fit in 345 machines. Should we understand that each machine is a memcache shard for each cluster ? and that every cluster has the same datas ?
Then we would have problems with wan, so it is not possible.
Meaning that the informations are replicated 12 other times since every request might not hit the same root server ?
why should they handle the whole internet traffic?
see here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/dns.htm
I read in an article this point. It was wrong.
A is asking for my website.
Either he types www.example.com, then his request will go to his isp then, the isp will ask another dns server.
Or he types my ip address (not likely) and skip the dns step, and, if my ip is dedicated, lands on my website.
Like I said, there are multiple (thousands ? millions?) dns servers. Assuming the requests are really fast between servers, it would still take really long time to get the answer the first time.
Should be -much- more than a minute ?!
In case I run my dns server (SOA) on a new website, the very first time someone looks for my website, his isp will contact many dns hosters/registrars and ask for my dns. My registrar/dns host advertises me, telling the world that my dns is no more hosted by them, but at my nameserver that I put in ns1 ns2. Right ?
Many thanks !
1. you can see, it takes less than a second (in general, but sometimes more)
2. not really, your name is registered by your ISP, his DNS will serve your IP. You do not need to have DNS. Also your own DNS will not recognised at all (only if it was registered as "official").
The browser itself recognises valid IP addresses. When it see's one in the URL it does not bother to do a DNS lookup, or in fact what would technicaly be a reverse DNS lookup. The browser goes direct to the IP.
i.e. my router is 192.168.1.1. HTTP://192.168.1.1/admin takes me to the admin page.
HTTP://192.168,1.1 gives me a DNS error as it is not a valid IP therefore the browser has attempted to resolve it.
DNS just translates names to numeric IP addresses. Once you've got that number, DNS, just like a phone book, is out of the picture. When you give your browser a valid dotted quad IP address or anything else that can represent a 32-bit (for IPv4) number, it just puts that number into the destination address field of the IP packet and doesn't use DNS at all.
The following are all equivalent:
The actual order is to look at browsers settings, might be some unique setting like pac file, then hosts file lookup, then it goes out to dns.
It's implemented at browser level by calling getaddrinfo() which takes care of domain names / IP addresses, before opening a socket to 'talk' to the server.

|The business on this is really short, the first 15' right off the ground, where it's just shy of vertical, then the angles kicks way back. Too short to recommend, even though the climbing and rock are good.
By dnaiscool

Frank Hoover was a very active member of the So. Cal chapter of the Rock Climbing Section (RCS) of the Sierra Club, and he was a dear friend of my family. He was also one of the funniest people ever to wear human skin. Always totting a camera, he took early pictures of many of the legendary climbers, like Royal Robbins & Bob Kamps.
That they left an empty bottle of wine on top and christened the pinnacle with its name is of no surprise...Frank did pranks like that all the time. When he was a student at UCLA he climbed to the tip of one of the spires on top of the old Ackerman Student Union Building and tied a hub cap there. It hung in that proud place for a few weeks until the buildings & grounds people finally knocked it off from a ladder...but...that rope remained draped to the spire for decades...it may very well still be there now...I saw it in '83, so who knows?
Frank lives in the high desert north of LA, and he is 90, and has long since retired from his post as a research biochemist at UCLA. Twice he lost his home and all he owned...including countless priceless photographs... to fire, but he always kept his spirits up....and he is still the funniest human who ever lived.
So, when you climb this route and sit atop Paisano Pinnacle, give a little nod to good old Frank Hoover...one of the original Prankster Climbers... and try to think of where they left that darn wine bottle!

Safety of traffic barrier questioned
A local cycling advocate is questioning the safety of a traffic diversion barrier in North Burnaby after a woman apparently crashed into it while cycling early Monday morning.
The 39-year-old Vancouver resident is in hospital after running into the barrier near Esmond Street and Cambridge Avenue.
An area resident called 911 on June 2 at about 5:30 a.m. after discovering a female cyclist lying next to the barrier, say Burnaby RCMP. She was unconscious and showed signs of a severe head injury.
Police believe she was not wearing a helmet nor had any lights on her bike as neither were found at the scene, said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis.
The woman was rushed to Vancouver General Hospital where she remains in serious but stable condition.
Police believe she had been cycling southbound on Esmond and hit the traffic barrier in the intersection. The crash may have happened at around 3:30 a.m., as a neighbour told police that's when they heard a loud, unexplained noise coming from the intersection.
"With summer approaching and the start of better weather, we would like to remind all cyclists of the importance of wearing a helmet with reflective clothing and having proper lights on the bicycle," said Buis in a press release. "The lights on your bike are not only so you can be seen by motorists but also for you to see any obstacles in your path."
New Westminster cycling advocate Patrick Johnstone took exception to the police's focus on helmet and lights.
"@BurnabyRCMP talk helmets and reflective clothing, no mention of dangerous infrastructure there," Johnstone tweeted in reply to a NewsLeader reporter. Accompanying the message was an image from Google Streetview of the intersection, showing the barrier situated diagonally across the intersection in the residential neighbourhood. A reflective sign is located roughly in the centre. There are streetlights about a half block north and south of the barrier.
Doug Louie, City of Burnaby's assistant director of engineering for transportation services, was not aware of the incident until informed by the NewsLeader.
"I can tell you that I am not aware of any record of cyclists or motorists crashing into such barriers in Burnaby," said Louie by email. "The one in question is not new and has been in place for quite some time."
After checking Wednesday morning, he confirmed there are warning signs in place in advance of the barrier, which also has white reflective tape along its entire length.
Louie said he has requested more information on the incident from Burnaby RCMP.
The engineering department will look into the incident to determine whether any changes need to be made to improve safety at the intersection, he said.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Buis had yet to receive an update on the woman's condition or the investigation.
Anyone who may have additional information about the incident is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

I missed this one at SXSW and Toronto, which seems to be a mantra of mine no matter how many films I see at these festivals, but I'm very interested. I thought Keven McAlester's last film "You're Gonna Miss Me" was sort of awesome, a look at rock icon Roky Erickson and his long struggle with mental illness. And there's no doubt that the subject matter of people who are wrapped up in the world of "Dungeons & Dragons" is potentially ripe for the right filmmaker. I'm curious about tone and about how much respect he does or doesn't pay to these people, and now, thanks to Amazon VOD as well as iTunes and Netflix, I'm going to get my chance to find out.
Check out this description:
"From award-winning filmmaker Keven McAlester ("You"re Gonna Miss Me") comes this acclaimed documentary about the lives of ordinary Americans who are consumed and obsessed by the legendary game "Dungeons & Dragons." An evil drow elf is displaced by Hurricane Katrina. A sanitation worker lures friends into a "Sphere of Annihilation." A failed super-villain starts a cable-access show involving ninjas, puppets, and a cooking segment. These are the characters, real and imagined, of Keven McAlester"s documentary, a selection of the Toronto and SXSW Film Festivals.
THE DUNGEON MASTERS will premiere exclusively on Amazon VOD (http://amazon.com/vod) on February 12. Shortly after that, it will launch on iTunes and Netflix.
You can add the film to your Netflix queue here: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Dungeon_Masters/70108785."
I'm getting ready to add a Netflix account to the house specifically for the streaming service. I don't really need or want DVD rentals (trust me, I've got plenty to keep me busy at any given moment), but I've said for years how I'd use a streaming service like this if there was one, and I've just been dragging my feet.
If the description didn't convince you, the fine folks over at Cinetic sent over an exclusive trailer for you, which you can see below, or in a larger form here:
Looks good, and if I check it out soon, I'll absolutely do a QuickFix review of it. And if you end up seeing it and loving it, let me know, particularly if you're a D&D fan past or present.

Roasted Black Bass with Mussels Panzanella
Panzanella is a summery Italian bread salad traditionally made with tomatoes and basil. For this seafood variation, we tossed in mussels as well.
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July 2009
For the Mussels Panzanella
- 2 pounds small mussels, preferably Prince Edward Island, scrubbed well and debearded
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 1/2 cups fresh basil, any combination of regular, purple, or Thai, stems reserved, plus more for serving
- 6 slices rustic Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
- 2 pounds mixed tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
For the Black Bass
- 4 skin-on black bass fillets (5 ounces each)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Make the mussels panzanella: Heat a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add mussels, wine, peppercorns, and basil stems. Bring to a vigorous simmer. Cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer mussels to a bowl as they open. Discard any unopened mussels. Let cool. Remove from shells. Continue to cook broth until reduced by half. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve; discard solids. You will have about 3/4 cup broth.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush bread with olive oil, and toast on a baking sheet until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Tear into 3/4-inch chunks.
Combine mussels, broth, bread, basil, olive oil, tomatoes, vinegar, zest, and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the black bass: Cut 3 slashes in skins of each fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 2 fillets, skin sides down. Cook until flesh is browned and opaque around edges, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook for 1 minute more. Add 1 tablespoon butter, and heat until melted and foamy. Spoon over fish continuously for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining oil, fish, and butter. Serve over mussels panzanella. Garnish with basil, and drizzle with olive oil.

South Coast Botanic Garden
In 1956, a mining company sold some unproductive facilities to the County of Los Angeles, thinking it had taken everything worth taking from the land. The county wanted to reclaim the site as a natural habitat, but civic demands at the time dictated that it become a sanitary landfill. Then, in 1961, a group of private citizens headed by Frances Young convinced the Board of Supervisors to reclaim the site as a botanic garden. By April of that year, the one-time mine and former landfill bloomed with more than 40,000 donated trees, shrubs, and other plants, officially completing its rebirth as the South Coast Botanic Garden.
Today, the garden's 87 acres of land support more than 200,000 plants representing more than 2,500 different species, including 100 extremely rare mature plant specimens and globe-spanning plants from Australia and Africa. The robust growth sprawls across several theme gardens, including a dry-soil cactus garden, a traditional Japanese garden sculpted around centuries-old stone lanterns, and a Mediterranean garden inspired by the sultanates of antiquity. The diverse plant life provides shelter for an equally diverse population of birds and bugs, with 200 avian species spotted each year, matching the 200 yearly squeals from grown men who encounter a particularly large beetle.

The double agent who helped foil an al Qaeda plot to blow up a US-bound plane was a British national, possibly of Saudi origin, American officials have said.
The UK intelligence services played a central role in the operation that thwarted the plan to send a suicide attacker onto an aircraft with an underwear bomb, they added.
The foiled plot ended with the explosive device being delivered to the FBI, which is examining it.
The investigation involved MI5 and MI6, officials added.
The Obama administration had reportedly been under heavy pressure not to disclose the role of British authorities in the investigation.

" Address: Vazon Bay / Castel / GY5 7BF "
Crabby Jacks is a lovely family restaurant right opposite Vazon beach. Because of this it is always busy in the Summer. Many families go for lunch or an evening meal after spending a day in the sun with the children. It is a great way to end a family day out.
The food is always served quickly and you can either eat in with the restaurant or takeaway which has a different menu. The takeaways menu has a large variety, I have never had a takeaway from here, I always use the restaurant. Some things available to order are pasta dishes, steak and other meat dishes, stuffed mushroom, pizza, soup, burgers. Unfortunately on the takeaway menu there is no deserts, that's the best bit!
The restaurant serves starters, mains and deserts which includes steaks, pizzas, fish, garlic bread, chips, nachos, salads, curries, anything you could ever want. I usually have a Margarita pizza, which like all their dishes is homemade. It tastes delicious and I have never had any problems with their food.
My favorite part of the meal, the desert, includes brownies, ice cream, apple pie, fruit. I like the warm chocolate brownies best with runny chocolate sauce drizzled all over the top, yum yum.
Most of the dishes cost between £7 and £10 which is quite reasonable for what you get.
Crabby Jacks is another one of the few restaurants on the island that welcome children. The children's menu includes starters, mains and deserts like the rest of the menus. This is nice that children can have starters from their own menu as well. These include melon, tomato soup, bacon and cheese potato skin and prawn cocktail for £2.95 each. The mains are chicken bites, hot dog, bolognaise, fish and pizza (with a choice of toppings), these are £4.50 each. There is only one desert which is ice cream and a chocolate flake (£2.25) but they could always choose of the adult menu.
Indoors are plenty of seating for tables of two to ten but it can be busy during school holidays and the summer. Outside are some tables for anyone who likes to sit in the sun and watch the sea. Personally I prefer to eat indoors as I don't like the insects flying around when I am eating.
One thing I did used to like about the outdoors is the play area. As it is outdoors it can only be used in dry weather but it is still nice to have. It used to be a swing and a climbing frame but last year they knocked it down and started all over again. The space is now used a lot better so more fits into the area. The floor is made of a soft tarmac looking type floor and has a large crab picture (this is Crabby Jack). Not only does it look nice but it is a soft safe landing if children fell. There is a climbing frame for younger children with a slide, steps, a tunnel and some poles. This is lovely and brightly coloured in red, blue, green and yellow. The other climbing frame for older children has monkey bars and other bars everywhere for swinging off which children love to do (just like little monkeys!) Some smaller things outside are a dolphin shaped seesaw for one, a skateboard on springs for balancing and a pirate ship. I love how the sea theme fits in with the rest of the restaurant. This area is safely enclosed so children can be left alone in it and won't be able to escape.
Although this restaurant is right opposite the beach it is very clean and you hardly ever see sand inside as it is cleaned up. The toilets and tables are always hygenic which is just what you expect.
There are no stairs so it can be accessed by wheelchair users or push chairs and there is a large car park outside.
Crabby Jacks is open from 12 noon until late every day and is a great restaurant for everyone, whatever age.

The Verdi Album
Sony Classical 88765492042
Verdi: La forza del destino: O tu, che in seno agli angeli (10:41)
Jonas Kaufmann, tenor; Parma Opera Orchestra / Pier Giorgio Morandi
It was with Verdi that the leading tenor of our time, Jonas Kaufmann, made his international breakthrough in 2006 when he sang Alfredo Germont in La Traviata at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. For Kaufmann, the Verdi bicentenary in 2013 will be dominated by performances of works by the great Italian opera composer, including this debut album for Sony Classical. His choice of arias demonstrates the remarkable breadth of Kaufmann's musical versatility and expression.
