Mountain Lion's AirPlay Mirroring feature lets you wirelessly share your entire Mac's desktop on an HDTV, using an Apple TV (second generation or later). Just as with iOS devices, you can use AirPlay to share photos and videos, or even stream games to your TV. AirPlay can also come in handy for giving presentations in a classroom or conference room.
AirPlay Mirroring is designed to work on the following Macs: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and the MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). Here's how to get started.
- AirPlay Mirroring is almost automatic. If an Apple TV is found on your Mac's network, you'll see an AirPlay Mirroring menu item in your Mac's menu bar.
- To use AirPlay Mirroring, click the AirPlay Mirroring menu item, and select Apple TV. If you have more than one on your network, they will all be displayed.
- Start with Apple's automatic resolution optimizer option --"Best for AirPlay" before manually choosing a setting.
- If you find that the top menu bar or the dock is cut off on your TV, try checking "Overscan correction" in system preference.
Bonus Tip: To use AirPlay Mirroring on older Macs, take a look at a $9.99 app, AirParrot, which adds similar functionality for both Macs and PCs.

Books for children have experienced many changes since the classic era of the Little Golden Books or Dr. Seuss series. Today, books for children are a major industry in the world of publishing. Children's books are customized to encompass a variety of subjects and multiple reading levels. Choosing a book from such a large genre can be a daunting task for most parents.
Selecting books for children may seem as easy as visiting the nearest bookstore and grabbing a book from the Children's Literature section. But, with so many options it's important for parents to select a book that benefits their child's particular interests. As a result, consideration should be put into finding and purchasing the right book.
Conducting research will ensure that a child receives a great experience with books. However, it can be difficult to know where to begin among such a vast collection. There are even books to help select the right books for children based on age, interest, reading level, culture and genre.
The Children's Book Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making reading enjoyable for children, is a helpful reference towards finding suitable books for children. They advise that books for children should be chosen according to age, reading level and mental and visual development.
It's also important to be creative when selecting books for children. Children usually have a favorite author or book series. Check local stores, author websites and local schools for book fairs, book signings or special events featuring those types of books.
One type of special event hosted by bookstores is a book reading. Book readings are fun social events that introduce books to children. For example, the newly-released movie about Beatrix Potter, author of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, has resulted in many bookstores featuring readings of her books.
Budget may also be an important factor for parents when selecting books for children. Cheap children's books can always be found, but it is important to make sure that money is being spent wisely. Discounted prices do not always ensure quality reading material.
Children's book clubs are a great resource for finding quality discounted books for children. Popular children's book clubs include the Oprah Winfrey Book Club and Highlights Magazine Online Book Club. However, it's important to exercise caution before joining children's book clubs. Some clubs have rules requiring members to purchase a certain number of books at full price.
The best sources to consult about selecting books for children are children. Talk to children about their interests, watch a child at a bookstore and note the type of books he or she gravitates towards. Age, reading skill level, interests and price will all contribute to narrowing down choices for children's books.
A child's first experiences with literature will be shaped by how books are presented to them. Parents should demonstrate their own passion for reading to their children. Parents will help make children successful in reading and in life by participating in their reading habits.

This month for The Secret Recipe Club, I was assigned the blog Angel's Homestead. On her site you will find a ton of information! Not only will you find some delicious, good old fashion home cookin' type recipes you will also learn about meal planning as well as how to be more frugal. Also, as of the new year you will find many of her recipes are gluten-free which is a big plus for those of you out there who eat gluten-free.
As I perused Angel's Homestead, I found so many different recipes. Each month, it's always so hard to pick from everyone's tempting recipes. I decided I wanted to do something for breakfast. As I looked through the breakfast section on her blog, I came across "Apple Pie Oatmeal." I love oatmeal on a chilly winter morning and I love apple pie just about any time so I decided that was the way to go. Although, I also was very tempted to make Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal. I think I just really like pie!
This oatmeal truly was like eating apple pie for breakfast. All the flavors are there. The sweetness of a little brown sugar, the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg, the slight tartness of apples all swimming together in this hearty oatmeal. It was thick, warm and left our bellies very full. I wasn't sure the recipe would make very much but it was enough to feed 3 people a good, filling breakfast.
One Year Ago: In Pursuit of Warmer Days… Lemon Squares
Apple Pie Oatmeal every so slightly adapted from Angel's Homestead
1 apple, peeled and diced
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1/2 cup water
– Combine the butter and sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until melted and blended.
– Add the apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring, until the apples release their juices.
– Add the oats and cook for about 2 more minutes, until the juices are absorbed, stirring to prevent sticking.
– Add the apple juice and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the oatmeal is thick and the apples are soft.
– Let the cooked oatmeal rest, covered, for 2 minutes. Serve hot.
– Enjoy!

Morning Livestock Report, 10/01/2015
Thursday, October 1, 2015
The $118-121 Northern cash cattle business we'd seen on Tuesday was followed up with larger volumes at those levels again yesterday. I've also heard of some trade in KS at $124. All of this would be down sharply from last week's $128-130 market and down from $150 just eight weeks ago! Futures have reacted as poorly as possible, with nearby Oct LC futures trading down the limit for a second straight day yesterday. But with Oct still at $124+, Northern producers may still view physical delivery against futures as their best alternative for marketing. This threat has Oct futures speeding lower for convergence and the Oct-Dec spread very weak, trading all the way out to -$7.85 at one point yesterday. Beef prices remain under sharp pressure as well with the choice cutout at 18 month lows; beef 90s specifically were down 25 cents yesterday to $2.46/lb; beef 50s down to just $0.38, a multi-year low there. As the entire complex violently adjusts lower (beef, LC, FC, calves, cows, etc), there becomes a new topic we should all closely evaluate - counterparty risk.

Being a slave and pulling from ZoneEdit wouldn't have any > benefit as the public address won't equal the private address. Quite right. > So assuming I understand correctly, yes, please guide me in setting up > a local master zone. Assuming that your local home network uses addresses in the 192.168.0.0/16 range, you have to set up a local name server which will recognize and reply for the following zones: "drew." # "*.drew" are local home network names 192.168.0.* # reverse IP address -> name for home hosts 127.0.0.* # localhost zone (optional) Optionally, you can set up a 'slave' zone for the `mykitchentable.net' hostnames, but this is not obligatory. To set up the local nameserver for the local zones mentioned above, you will need to modify (or create) at least the following files: /etc/namedb/named.conf /etc/namedb/master/drew /etc/namedb/master/drew.rev /etc/namedb/master/localhost.rev /etc/namedb/master/localhost-v6.rev /etc/rc.conf After you finish setting up all these files, you should be able to: * Resolve hostnames of the form foo.drew to IP addresses of your internal home network. * Resolve IP addresses of your internal home network to hostnames of the form foo.drew. * Resolve `localhost' to your 127.0.0.1 address (and its IPv6 equivalent). * Check your new named setup and see that it works as expected * Troubleshoot your setup, i.e. tweak the logging level of named and find out what it logs through syslog 1. Setting up named.conf ************************ The `named.conf' file is the one BIND reads to find out which `zones' to load (a `zone' is BIND terminology for what you may have heard being called a `domain'). The FreeBSD source tree contains a sample `named.conf' file at `/usr/src/etc/namedb/named.conf', which normally gets installed as `/etc/namedb/named.conf' on your system. This file is not used, until you decide to enable the `named' daemon though. The sample file installed as `/etc/namedb/named.conf' includes several commented parts that you can use as examples for writing your own `named.conf' file. After you have finished writing your own `named.conf' file it should contain: * An `options' section, with global options that apply to the way your `named' service works. * Optionally, a `logging' section, with the configuration options that define what is logged, where it is logged, etc. * A `root' zone entry, which points to the root DNS servers. An up to date list is distributed with the FreeBSD source tree, and can be found at `/usr/src/etc/namedb/named.root'. * Optionally, a `localhost' zone entry (for resolving 127.0.0.1 to a hostname of your choise). * Optionally, a `localhost-v6' zone entry (for resolving the IPv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1 to a hostname of your choise). * A zone entry for your internal, home network. 1.1. Global `options' for `named.conf' ====================================== The `options' section of your `named.conf' file defines stuff that tunes global parameters of the `named' service. After removing the stuff that is commented out or an example, the `options' section of the default `named.conf' file looks like this: options { directory "/etc/namedb"; pid-file "/var/run/named/pid"; dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats"; listen-on { 127.0.0.1; }; }; Most of these defaults should work just fine for a standalone `named' server, but you will have to tweak a bit the `listen-on' option to make it work in an internal, home network. The default list of addresses that your `named' server will listen on includes only 127.0.0.1 and this will make it inaccessible to all the machines of your internal network (i.e. all machines that have an 192.168.0.0/24 address). To let all machines of your internal network query the `named' server running on your FreeBSD system, you have to add the internal IP address of the FreeBSD system to that list too, i.e.: listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.0.2; }; -------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: Be carerul not to miss the ';' semicolon after the second IP address. If you do, then the bogus `listen-on' option will cause your `named' service to fail starting (but see section 4 below, ``Troubleshooting named problems'', to see how you can track this sort of problem and fix it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- There are various other options that you can set in this section. The most important is probably the `forwarders' list. This can be used to let your `named' process ask upstream DNS servers, like the ones your ISP is probably already using, instead of going all the way to a root NS for resolving host names and IP addresses. This is quite often a good idea, as it allows your local `named' process to take advantage of the cache your ISP's DNS servers already have, speeding up DNS queries a fair bit. A typical `forwarders' section looks a lot like the `listen-on' list you have already seen above, but this time it lists the IP addresses of the remote servers instead of your own: forwarders { 220.127.116.11; 22.214.171.124; }; This would let your `named' service ask the upstream DNS servers at 184.108.40.206 and 18.104.22.168 for hostnames it cannot resolve locally. 1.2. Setting up a `logging' section =================================== See section 4 further down for information about setting up a `logging' section, and how you can read the log messages your `named' service will write. 1.3. A `root zone' entry ======================== A `root zone' is a list of IP addresses for the DNS servers that are called `root name servers'. If you are not using forwaders, your `named' service will have to query these root name servers for information about the toplevel DNS domains (i.e. "com", "net", "edu", "gr", "de", "fr", etc.) An example root zone entry is part of `/usr/src/etc/namedb/named.conf'. You can typically keep this unchanged: zone "." { type hint; file "named.root"; }; This entry points `named' at the file `named.root' at the directory that is defined as the default directory in your `options' section. Since the default directory is set to `/etc/namedb', this entry refers to the file `/etc/namedb/named.root'. Normally, you shouldn't have to edit this entry in `named.conf' or the `named.root' file. Only change these two if you are *VERY* sure about what you are doing. 1.4. The `localhost' and `localhost-v6' local zones =================================================== The default `named.conf' file that is distributed with FreeBSD includes two zone entries that allow client-systems that ask your DNS server to resolve the IP addresses of `localhost' for both IP and IPv6. These addresses are listed in the usual ``reverse-logic'' order that is used for IP address -> hostname zones in `named.conf': zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" { type master; file "master/localhost.rev"; }; // RFC 3152 zone "126.96.36.199.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA" { type master; file "master/localhost-v6.rev"; }; These two zone entries depend on two files in `/etc/namedb/master' to work properly. To make things easier for you, FreeBSD provides a shell script that can auto-generate these files for you, guessing the proper hostname and domain information from the current hostname of the system (as reported by running the hostname(1) utility). All you normally have to do is to keep the entries shown above in your `named.conf' file and then run the `make-localhost' script in `/etc/namedb': # cd /etc/namedb # sh make-localhost Two new files should appear in `/etc/namedb/master' now: # cd /etc/namedb/master # ls -ld localhost* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 431 Jun 26 07:56 localhost-v6.rev -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 431 Jun 26 07:56 localhost.rev This should be all it takes. You can manually check the contents of these files and make changes to them, but it is probably a good idea to keep them unchanged for now. At least, until you know what the contents of a ``zone file'' look like and what each part means, you should avoid making manual changes to these files. 1.5. Zone entries for your internal, home network ================================================= Now comes the interesting part. You should also add to your `named.conf' file a ``zone entry'' for your internal, home network. This is not so difficult, but there are a few details that you should get right and they are spread across at least three files: * The `named.conf' file, which contains the zone entries for mapping hostnames to addresses and for mapping addresses to hostnames. * A file under `/etc/namedb/master' that contains the actual information for mapping hostnames -> IP addresses. * A file under `/etc/namedb/master' that contains the actual information for mapping IP addresses -> hostnames. 1.5.1. Adding forward and reverse zone entries in `named.conf' -------------------------------------------------------------- The changes that should be done to `named.conf' are related to the following two types of hostname <=> address translations: * hostname of the form `*.drew' => internal home-network address * internal home network address => hostname of the form `*.drew' For these two DNS query types, you will need two zone entries in `named.conf' and two `zone files' in `/etc/namedb/master'. The entries in `named.conf' can be similar to: zone "drew." { type master; file "master/drew"; }; zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa." { type master; file "master/drew.rev"; }; The important points to watch out for while writing these entries are: * The zone name is quoted with double-quote characters * The zone entries refer to files of the form "master/foo", where file `foo' maps to `/etc/namedb/master/foo' * There are two zone entries for the same set of systems, one to map hostnames of the form "*.drew" to IP addresses (the "drew." zone entry), and one to map IP addresses in the IP range 192.168.0.* to hostnames (the "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa." zone entry). * The IP range 192.168.0.* is spelled _backwards_ in the zone entry that maps it to a file and it has an "in-addr.arpa." suffix. The two zone entries are commonly referred to as the `forward' and the `reverse' zone: 1. The `forward' zone is the one that maps hostnames to IP addresses. 2. The `reverse' zone is the one that maps addresses of the form "0.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.", "184.108.40.206.in-addr.arpa.", "220.127.116.11.in-addr.arpa.", "220.127.116.11.in-addr.arpa.", ... "255.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa." to a hostname. You have to manually create the zone files for each one of these zones. It's not too difficult, since you already have at least two sample zone files to read as examples: /etc/namedb/master/localhost.rev /etc/namedb/master/localhost-v6.rev By looking at these two files and reading the next paragraphs, you should be able to create your own zone files too :-) 1.5.2. Creating a forward lookup zone ------------------------------------- A ``forward lookup zone'' is an entry in `named.conf' that points the local nameserver to a hostname -> address map. The smallest zone entry you will typically find in `named.conf' files looks like this: zone "drew." { type master; file "master/drew"; }; After adding this zone entry in your `named.conf' you should also create a file in `/etc/namedb/master' called `drew'. This is the file that will contain the `records' that map hostnames of the form "*.drew" to IP addresses. Semicolon characters `;' can be used to add comments to these files. The semicolon and everything else up to the next newline character are ignored. A small zone file can look like this: $TTL 3600 @ IN SOA bsd.drew. hostmaster.bsd.drew. ( 2006051501 ; Serial 3600 ; Refresh 900 ; Retry 3600000 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Minimum IN NS bsd.drew. IN MX 5 bsd.drew. IN MX 10 linux.drew. localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 bsd IN A 192.168.0.1 linux IN A 192.168.0.2 laptop IN A 192.168.0.3 The format of the ``zone files'' is described online too and in the documentation of BIND[1], but I'll try to explain some of the more tricky details. * The ``$TTL'' line sets the default time-to-live for the records that follow. Setting the TTL to 3600 seconds, like above, means that other name-servers that query your own name-server will ask after 3600 seconds for a new copy of the records. * The '@' special record-name refers to the name of this zone, as it was defined in the `named.conf' file. In the case of the `/etc/namedb/master/drew' zone file, this is equal to "drew." -- as this the name of the zone recorded in `named.conf'. * The SOA record is a bit strange. It defines far too many things in one record, but you can read more about each field at [bind9] * The MX records are optional. You only need them if you plan to set up a local mail server that handles all outgoing email for your internal, home network. * Whenever a host name ends in a dot character `.', the currently defined name of the zone is _not_ appended to the host name. Adding the final dot means that you know what you are doing and that you refer to the host by its fully qualified name. * The most interesting records are the 'A' ones. They define host names for systems in the "drew." zone. The full name of the zone is not repeated as part of each line. It is, rather, implied by the defined name of this zone (in `named.conf' as usual). Whenever you make changes to this zone file, make ABSOLUTELY SURE that you also update the `Serial' field in your SOA record. Otherwise, other name-servers will ignore yours and your own name server will not necessarily reload the information of the zone file. 1.5.3. Creating a reverse lookup zone ------------------------------------- A reverse lookup zone is very similar to a forward lookup zone. The most important difference from the standpoint of someone writing the `named.conf' entry for this zone and the one writing the actual `records' in the `/etc/namedb/master/foo.rev' file is that this zone maps IP addresses to hostnames (reverse DNS lookup). Typically, the reverse zones look like this in `named.conf': zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa." { type master; file "master/drew.rev"; }; After adding this zone entry in your `named.conf' you should also create a file in `/etc/namedb/master' called `drew.rev'. This is the file that will contain the `records' that map IP addresses like "192.160.0.*" to hostnames. Semicolon characters `;' can be used to add comments to these files. The semicolon and everything else up to the next newline character are ignored. A small zone file can look like this: $TTL 3600 @ IN SOA bsd.drew. hostmaster.bsd.drew. ( 2006051501 ; Serial 3600 ; Refresh 900 ; Retry 3600000 ; Expire 3600 ) ; Minimum IN NS bsd.drew. IN MX 5 bsd.drew. IN MX 10 linux.drew. 1 IN PTR bsd.drew. 2 IN PTR linux.drew. 3 IN PTR laptop.drew. Note that this is *very* similar to the forward zone, except for a tiny detail. It contains `PTR' records instead of `A' (address) records. The `PTR' records map numeric addresses to hostnames with the following easy scheme: * The leftmost column of the `PTR' line is a number from 1 to 254. * This number (let's call it "NUM") is prepended to the `zone name' from `named.conf'. * The address "NUM.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa." resolves to the host name listed after the `PTR' text. For example this line: 1 IN PTR bsd.drew. when it is present in the zone file for `0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.' maps the address `126.96.36.199.in-addr.arpa.' to the hostname `bsd.drew.'. Note the trailing dot in the last-column hostnames, to prevent named from adding the current zone name as a suffix to the hostname. Similarly, you can map 220.127.116.11.in-addr.arpa. to "linux.drew." (as shown above), 184.108.40.206.in-addr.arpa. to "laptop.drew." etc. Just keep in mind, that when you need to add a hostname for the IP address `192.168.0.X', you can strip the trailing `.X' number, reverse the parts of the IP address, append `.in-addr.arpa' and then you end up with: 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. This is the zone that you have to add a record for `X' and DNS will care care of doing the mapping for lookups from `192.168.0.X' to `X.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.' for you. 2. Setting up your zone files in /etc/namedb/master *************************************************** If you have read and understood everything so far, then you are ready to set up zone files in your `/etc/namedb/master'. Copy the sample zone files from above, modify them at will and save them under `/etc/namedb/master' using the names configured at the "file" options of the zone entries in `named.conf'. Make sure that you do NOT confuse the `zone name', which is listed right after the `zone' keyword in `named.conf': ==> zone "drew." { and the `zone file name', which is listed as the argument of the `file' option in the zone entry: zone "drew." { type master; ==> file "master/drew"; }; These are two separate things. 3. Enabling named in /etc/rc.conf ********************************* With a fairly recent and up to date `/etc/rc.d/*' collection of startup files, all you have to do to enable the named daemon is to add a simple line in `/etc/rc.conf': named_enable='YES' Then, you can start the `named' daemon by running as `root': kobe# /etc/rc.d/named start If all goes well, you should be able to see the running daemon by using ps(1), pgrep(1) or any other tool you find convenient. The following bash(1) command shows `named' running here: kobe# ps xau | { read head; echo "$head"; grep 'named '; } USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND bind 12168 0.0 0.3 6124 3444 ?? Ss 1:06AM 0:00.05 /usr/sbin/named -t /var/named -u bind kobe# If this didn't work, then read the following stuff about named logging setup and try to find out what `named' writes to syslog. This should help you find out what went wrong. 4. Troubleshooting named problems ********************************* Whenever you have any sort of problem with the `named' daemon, you should first check /var/log/messages for any interesting information, and then you may find it useful to tweak the logging level and output of `named'. The BIND nameserver that is included with FreeBSD supports an extremely customizable logging mechanism. Some may argue that logging is *too* configurable, and thus ends up being confusing, but let's put this aside for now :) Logging is configured by modifying the `named.conf' file, and adding a `logging' section. There are several predefined `categories' of log messages and some predefined `channels' where these messages can be sent to be logged. These are described in the official BIND documentation[*], so I won't repeat them all here. An example of how a `logging' section can be added to `named.conf' is probably much easier to understand than reading through all the BIND documentation for logging tips. Here is what I use for the logging section of the caching named daemon I run at home: logging { category default { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category security { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category xfer-in { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category xfer-out { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category notify { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category update { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category update-security { default_syslog; default_debug; }; category lame-servers { default_syslog; default_debug; }; }; * NOTE: Watch out for missing semicolon `;' characters. Forgetting to add one after the last entry in a { ... } block of named.conf or missing the trailing ';' character _after_ a block is one of the most common bugs in configuration files that fail to load. This can be very annoying, especially if you have to spend several hours before you notice that there is just a tiny missing character that you can add to fix everything! To use this logging section, you can simply copy it into your existing `named.conf' file, right after the global `options' section and then restart `named': kobe# /etc/rc.d/named restart Stopping named. Starting named. If all has gone well, and you have no syntax errors in the logging section you just added, something like the following should appear in your `/var/log/messages' file: kobe# tail -3f /var/log/messages Jun 24 00:06:34 kobe named[12168]: starting BIND 9.3.2 -t /var/named -u bind Jun 24 00:06:34 kobe named[12168]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Jun 24 00:06:34 kobe named[12168]: running Now just stand back and wait for any other messages from `named' that point towards a configuration error or other problem. 5. Making the local nameserver the default ****************************************** Now you are ready to make your local nameserver the default server to be contacted for DNS queries. This is done by updating the `/etc/resolv.conf' file to include something like this: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search drew. nameserver 127.0.0.1 $ Now all DNS-using applications should use 127.0.0.1 for their queries. Similarly, for other machines of the 192.168.0.X network, you should configure a `resolv.conf' file like this: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search drew. nameserver 192.168.0.1 $ 6. Checking your new BIND setup ******************************* If your name server has started without problems, then you are ready to test it. You can use host(1), dig(1) and nslookup(1) for this. You should test that at least the following work correctly: * Lookup of hostname -> address * Lookup of address -> name These are easy to do, if you keep in mind that your `name server' is now 127.0.0.1 (on the name server itself), or 192.168.0.1 (if you are using "bsd.drew." as your DNS server): 1. Testing that 127.0.0.1 resolves correctly to `localhost.drew.' bsd# host 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 18.104.22.168.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer localhost.drew. 2. Testing that `localhost.drew.' resolves correctly to `127.0.0.1' bsd# host localhost.drew. localhost.drew has address 127.0.0.1 3. Testing that `*.drew' resolve correctly: bsd# bash bash$ for hname in bsd linux laptop; do host "$hname"; done bsd.drew has address 192.168.0.1 linux.drew has address 192.168.0.2 laptop.drew has address 192.168.0.3 Useful BIND Resources ********************* [1] Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. ``BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual''. 2000-2005. http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/ , http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/arm93/ , http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/arm93/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#id2564557

But before you pick up that candy heart or bite into that heart-shaped lollipop, take a minute to think about your braces! Unfortunately, many treats we love to enjoy on Valentine's Day are hard, sticky, or loaded with sugar - all of which can spell disaster for braces. To help you celebrate without damaging your braces, we've compiled a couple of braces-friendly recipes that you can cook up with your special someone this Valentine's Day. Heart-Shaped Egg in a Basket This is a simple V-Day spin on a breakfast favorite. To start, you'll need a piece of bread, an egg, and a bit of butter or oil. Butter the bread as if you were about to make a grilled cheese, then cook it in a pan on medium heat until you've browned both sides. Carefully remove your bread and cut a heart shaped hole into the middle, big enough for your egg. Place the bread back down on the pan, then crack the egg into the hole. Let the egg cook through, and enjoy with someone special! Heart Shaped Nutella French Toast Feeling like something a little sweeter for breakfast? First, you'll need an egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup milk, and 4 slices of bread. Crack your egg into a bowl, then add the vanilla and cinnamon and beat until mixed. Stir in your milk until you've got an even mixture. Next, cut or tear the edges of your bread until you're left with a heart shape, then dip your bread into the egg mixture, taking care to coat both sides evenly. Cook both sides of each piece of bread on a lightly greased pan on medium heat until browned, then serve with a healthy heaping of Nutella! Contact Your Bentleigh, Victoria Orthodontist Have more questions about eating with braces or want to come in for a visit? Feel free to call us at (03) 9557 8911, reach out to us at our contact page, or use our easy online form to schedule an appointment at our Bentleigh, VIC office. We can't wait to hear from you, and we look forward to seeing you back at this blog for more tips and info on living with braces!

Guide to living in Northwest Reno
Northwest Reno is all about family living. Resting on the northwest foothills above downtown, you can look forward to an eagle's eye view of the Truckee Meadows. The feel is more mellow than downtown, but you're only, at most, a 10 minute drive away from the hustle and bustle. If you're in the Old University area, you can look forward to affordable living in an older, charming, quaint neighborhood. If you're in the New McQueen part of town (named after McQueen High School), there's ample opportunities for shopping and easy access to anything else you need.
Who lives here?
Taking into account the low unemployment rate (4.6% as opposed to Reno's overall rate of 7.2%), higher income per capita ($35,083 as opposed to Reno's overall average of $26,945), slightly higher housing prices ($260,129 vs. Reno's average of $224,400), low crime rate (33% lower than Reno's average), and high education level achievement (15.2% of residents in the Northwest have completed their Masters as opposed to Reno's overall average of 10%), it's fair to say that the residents of Reno's Northwest consists of mainly well educated, professional families.
Neighborhood FAQ's:
Is this neighborhood easy to walk around or will I want a car?
You'll probably want to own or have access to a vehicle in this part of town. It's a hefty walk to downtown (but doable from certain areas, particularly in the Old University area). Although there are quite a few strip malls and shopping centers, this neighborhood is pretty large, so the odds are you'll want to drive.
What are a few of the favorite businesses that only a local would know about?
There's a plethora of hidden gems in this part of town. You'll find some of the best coffee Purple Bean. You'll also be close to some of the best thai food at Bangkok Express and sandwiches at Beach Hut Deli. Want an amazing place to sit down, relax, and enjoy a pastry, some coffee, and a book? You're in luck with Homage Bakery, family-owned by pastry chef extraordinaire Nicholle Alumbaugh.
Are there many parks and are they dog-friendly?
Reno's Northwest is speckled with many neighborhood parks, but the main attraction is Rancho San Rafael, Reno's 120 acre mecca of fun and enjoyment and the home of the Great Reno Balloon Race. Rancho San Rafael provides a wide range of activities including: barbecue Areas, biking, bird watching, an exercise course, fishing, gardens, hiking, horseshoe pits, horticultural areas, jogging, kitchens, multi-purpose fields, picnic areas, playgrounds, volleyball courts, walking trails, a 3-acre off-leash dog park (complete with a pond and a drinking fountain), and calls itself home to the Wilbur D May Museum and Arboretum.
In the New McQueen area, you're within walking distance to the robust trail system that snakes its way through the neighborhood.
Is parking easy in this neighborhood?
Parking is a breeze in Reno's Northwest. Most commercial areas have expansive unmetered parking lots and street parking is easy too. The only place it gets difficult is around the University. If you're planning on parking there, bring change and your walking shoes. You'll likely need to park in UNR's designated public parking areas as most street parking requires a resident permit.

Also known as Big Battleship orbits planet while Starship Troopers get a pasting.
Another quick SciFi game to play test some rules. Classic Starship Troopers v Bugs and not looking that good for the bugs However a weak Mobile Infantry Force, lots of bugs and A Starship that seemed interested in other things led to a great game.
A short summary - Starship troopers landed, shot bugs and then faced a bug Tsunami. A certain spaceship in orbit could not be reached several times for fire support and the Troopers had to fight and die the hard way. They managed to shoot their way out......just.

It contains a homeopathic compound that supposedly shortens the duration and reduce the severity of cough, congestion, sore throat, nasal and bronchial irritations. If truth be told, I have read almost nothing that supports the efficacy and validity of homeopathy, however, I did find a number of studies that have found some evidence that it's active ingredient (EPs 7630), an extract of extract of Pelargonium sidoides (a plant native to South Africa) has anti-viral properties and can improve immune function (I actually did find some scientific studies supporting this).
Here is some info about Umcka from the website:
- Pelargonium sedoides extract, Umcka's main ingredient, is from a South African geranium plant, and has long been popular in Europe and Africa as a cold and flu remedy.
- Umcka has been proven to be more effective than echinacea, zinc, or even vitamin C for treating upper respiratory infections.
- Umcka products work with the body's immune system to help support the natural defenses fighting cold and flu symptoms.
Its always nice to have a soothing hot drink when you are feeling sick, but Umcka ColdCare can also be taken cold. Its safe for both children and adults and you can take several a day.
So what do I think? Well apparently it can't hurt, and its definitely a better option than NeoCitran, which aside from the OTC meds also contains:
- ascorbic acid,
- citric acid,
- D&C Yellow No. 10,
- FD&C Yellow No. 6,
- flavours,
- malic acid,
- sodium citrate,
- sucrose,
- titanium dioxide,
- tribasic calcium phosphate.
So if you enjoy a hot lemon drink when you are feeling under the weather, this is definitely superior to the conventional drug store products and might lessen the severity and duration of your illness.

Flea addicts would have definitely heard of the STClassifieds R.E.D. Alert Premium Flea that just happened last weekend! To sum it up, it was a common meeting place for the blog-shopping, stall-hopping fashionistas who have a penchant for not just creative and independent online boutiques (at special prices), but also whimisical and vintage handicrafts! I went there on a Sunday and the crowd was just nice – not too crowded, having the ease to walk around freely without all the squeezing and shoving..
First I was ushered to the ST Classifieds booth where I was taught to explore their ST Classifieds webpage…did you know that it costs you absolutely nothing to sell your stuffs at ST Classified? You didn't read me wrong, it's free! It is very easy to navigate around their webpage with no dodgy/spam posts, yay~
Guess which pair was choosen?
Next, I was introduced to the lovely girls behind CommonGoodSociety! Formed in 2012 with an objective of allowing society to shop for design-oriented products at ease; special, well designed but reputables goods are carefully selected by the C.G.S team for your shopping delight! Crown & Co series watches and Happy Socks were specially featured during this flea. I couldn't resist picking up a white/red dial stripes watch for myself and cutsey socks with pink hearts all over for my fats!
Dainty accessories from Korea that I just can't resist!
My pick of the day – Desiree Lace Romper!
Then comes every girl's favorite pastime… fashion shopping at Bonweekend~ A curated womenswear label who recently launched their manufactured line, you may have already seen several famous bloggers featuring their clothing items in instagram! This is definitely one of the rare blogshops who do not restock nor organize backorders to ensure exclusivity and uniqueness for their limited pieces; you have been warned 😉

In the past salsa-verde has been a favorite of mine, it's tangy and great on chicken, eggs and just about everything. I am always looking for new ways to eat light, fresh, healthy meals that are inspired by produce. When I am eating clean, I never really struggle with proteins because I have my standby's that I could (and do) eat practically every day. Sides and salads are a bit harder for me because I can become bored quite easily with salads. I'm not naturally one of those types who just enjoy salad. Honeydew and Avocado "salsa verde" is a fantastic remix of a classic.
Honeydew-Avocado Salsa
This one of a kind salsa recipe is something I found on Pinterest. I guess there is an added bonus to being sleep deprived and pinning at 3 am? This is meant to be served with scallops but it can be served with chicken or tortilla chips. The fresh, crisp flavors are very unexpected but amazingly well balanced.
- 1 cup Avocado, Diced
- 1 Cup Honeydew Melon, Diced
- 1 Teaspoon Lime Juice, Plus Lime Zest
- 1-2 Teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Raw & Unfiltered if Possible)
- Celtic Sea Salt & Pepper
- Dry Oregano & Cilantro, Dry Onion Flake (optional)
Combine lime juice, lime zest, olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss with avocado and honey dew, Add onion flake, oregano and cilantro if desired. Serve cold with your favorite chips or protein!

Dean & Keith Townsend, The Townsend Team
Dean was born in Montréal, grew up on Chicago's North Shore and
spent his childhood summers in the English countryside.
After attending McGill University, he toiled away as a
thermal dynamics engineer by day so he could invest in real
estate by night—buying and selling thirty homes by the age
of forty.
In 2002, escaping a cold Chicago winter, Dean first visited Key
West. Captivated by the island's tropical charms, he
returned to the frozen north, quit his engineering job, sold
his house in Lake Forest, and moved into his first Key West
cottage within a few months. Dean found his place in the
Dean dove into Key West real estate head first, becoming a REALTOR®
shortly after settling in. Between selling houses and
devoting himself to numerous community organizations, he
found time to complete a couple of residential redesign
projects and constructed a new home in Old Town. In
January, 2008, Dean brought his seasoned selling skills and
vast knowledge of the ins and outs of reconstructing and
building in Key West to Doug Mayberry Real Estate.
Dean played a pivotal role in building Doug Mayberry Real
Estate into one of the top producing real estate companies
on the island. A dynamic real estate partnership began

I have a bit of a bone to pick with some of the major retailers….
I'm sure many of you have read about the slump in retail in "bricks & mortar" shops- you only have to look around to see the endless Sale signs to know that retailers are doing ti really tough at the moment.
So they are complaining about the online stores stealing their customers- or are they?
I don't know about you but I have found that many stores are just lacking in basic customer service manners and communication with their customers. Is it too hard to expect someone to help you?
Is it too hard to be given accurate details about products and when to expect them?
At least when you order online- you get a message saying your payment went through, another message saying when it will be shipped, when it has been shipped and how many days to expect before arrival.
This has not been my experience in the last few months in purchasing items from my local stores.
Recently our TV gave up the ghost after yet another blackout in our area. The TV was old but between my partner & I was had quite a few old TV's between us.

A young boy, Quico, has a best friend, Monster – a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth. Quico doesn't fear playing with him, but Monster has a lethal problem: he's addicted to eating toxic frogs that chemically alter his mind. The resulting rampage endangers everyone, including Quico. To save Monster, the players, as Quico, strengthen their friendship with him by solving puzzles together and venturing through a magical, surrealist world. Players must gain familiarity with Monster's emotions, both good and bad, using that knowledge to their advantage as they search for a cure that protects their pal.

Add your grated garlic next and saute for another 2 minutes.
Julienne some fresh basil as a garnish.
Oh - this is fabulous! I love minestrone and this variation is incredible! I'm with you - soup...good soup....knows no season!ReplyDelete
I am Italian and I eat minestrone in summer: the vegetables are fresh and in season, and minestrone taste goods even lukewarm or cold :-).
This looks amazing. I was craving minestrone soup the other day. I didn't feel like making it and the local store that sells homemade soup didn't have any. I ended up with chicken noodle. These pictures though have brought back my cravings.ReplyDelete
Great soup! So full of veggies!ReplyDelete
This is one of my favorite soups ever, your recipe sounds awesome. I love the big chunks of veggies!ReplyDelete
Oh, yum! This looks delicious...so chock full of yummy veggies~ReplyDelete
This looks so good. It's funny as I tell people I don't like soup but I love minestrone and there is one restaurant that I love their chicken noodle. I never make it. I just have two restaurants I order it from. Lol! This makes me want to try making it. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Oh yum! I'll use the vegetable broth and have a feast! Thanks for the great recipe and awesome photos!ReplyDelete
Yum!! I just want to sprinkle some feta on top of there. :)ReplyDelete
This looks so comforting!ReplyDelete
I love soup in the summer, too. Can't help myself! Warm food is good :) I love minestrone and what a great idea for a twist! I will have to try something like this!ReplyDelete
What a fantabulous post this has been. Never seen this kind of useful post. I am grateful to you and expect more number of posts like these. Thank you very much. Pita Way

Doesn't everyone walk into a veterinary hospital hoping for their own "happily ever after" ending?
I mean who wants to get bad news? Right? Don't we just want peace of mind for our inquiring parental worries?
The Fluffy version of "take one of these little pills, get some rest, and call me in the morning," and POOF! everything is all rainbows and unicorns again. (Phew, dodged that one!).
Wouldn't that all be nice? And, yet it doesn't always happen. We don't always start at the finish. Especially in veterinary medicine. Too often we start at the beginning. Is that a problem? Maybe not? Maybe if you have all the time, information and money, in your favor it isn't? But, maybe everyone who walks into a veterinary clinic doesn't have all of these?
What happens if you don't have one, or, two, or maybe any? What then? How do you get your own "happily ever after" without all of the time, money, and options available?
Our job, the whole purpose of Pawbly.com, is to help you get your pet a happy ending every single time. While we cannot be everything to everyone at all times, is to be as much as you need, as often as you need it, and a true friend to your pet at all times.
If the ending is what you are at looking for why don't we start the hard cases at the end?
How do you do this? It means that in some cases you need to talk about the end before you start. This is most imperative in the cases of limited resources, or minimal time to intervene before worst case scenario unfolds and you are left half between broke and "The End."
In many cases a diagnosis can be reached rather quickly. Ask about a diagnosis, even a presumptive diagnosis, as soon as the veterinarian finishes the exam on your pet. This is your beginning. The beginning (examination) should cost you about $50 to $100 US at a vets office or ER.
Ask the vet to list the possible diagnoses for your pet in order of most likely to least likely.
Here is where we need to fast forward to the end IF you have a shortage of 1) Money, 2) time, or 3) ability.
If you don't have the time, money and/or ability I suggest you fast forward to the end.. work backwards, save time and money and approach the case like this;
From the presumptive diagnosis list ask the vet which ones are treatable? Anything that isn't treatable gets nixed. (Now I realize "treatable is a tough word to swallow or accept, but in some cases this is the reality).
START with MOST LIKELY AND TREATABLE. Then start treating. Asking your vet for a "Happy Ever After" can be a negotiated, compromised plan. If you aren't sure how to get there ask for help from your vet. Talk about every option. Write them all down. List them out individually with diagnostics needed, itemized invoice for each, and prognosis if this is the underlying cause to your pets condition. Often being able to visualize each disease as a separate list and prognosis helps make decisions for the road to cured less bumpy.
Always start with "I want to give my pet a Happily Ever After."
Then ask for help getting there within your financial ability. Ask them to minimize steps (if possible) so you have resources for the treatment. A great example is a urinary blockage in a cat, or, an intestinal foreign body in a dog. The diagnosis for each of these often lies simply in an exam and a radiograph (x-ray). From here the treatment options are both surgery. If surgery costs $2,000 and you only have $2,000 just jump to the surgery. Skip the rest of the diagnostics. While it is not always ideal, it may help get your pet their "happily after after!"
Be well everyone.
And please remember, if you need help for your pet we are always available for FREE at Pawbly.com.
For more help on affordable options for your pets care see our other blogs, or the amazing staff of Advisors here at Pawbly. You ask, we answer, your pet wins! always free! You get to win too!

By Nikolas Schreck
40 years ago today, on March 18, 1977, Iggy Pop's first solo album The Idiot was released. From the moment I gazed upon its stark monochrome cover in the racks of the long-gone Tower Records on Sunset Strip on the day of its release, that recording cast a spell on me that endures to this day, and profoundly influenced my music. To celebrate the anniversary of Mr. Pop's powerful solo debut, this slightly abridged sneak preview from my forthcoming memoir, a work in progress:
In March of '77, in the wake of my still ongoing Low high, the long vanished Iggy Pop returned from the realm of the living dead with his bleak comeback solo album, The Idiot.
Even if they were too heavy on electric guitar for me, some of Pop's weirder and moodier work with the Stooges had a certain undeniable, well, raw power, that spoke to me. But this new slice of jaunty gloom and doom was a beast of a different color altogether.
Essentially a Bowie album with Iggy on vocals, it was drenched in the same sinister electronic sludge and harsh menacing ambiance I so loved in Low, only grittier and meaner. As cold as most of Low's music was, it hinted that some human warmth, however damaged, might survive in the bleak tomorrow that was surely coming. The Idiot's dehumanized jaded vocals and broken down robotics had much worse news to impart: the mass produced future the 80s would bring wouldn't work at all.
In 1977, nobody else was singing, as Iggy did, about "Talkin' with Dracula and his crew" let alone having "Visions of swastikas in my head and plans for everyone." Lyrical themes guaranteed to sink their fangs as firmly into my adolescent influence artery as Low had in January, and as Kraftwerk's Tran-Europe Express would a little later in that very same memorable March.
The Idiot's proud advertisement of its spawning in haunted and walled West Berlin's Hansa Studios only added to its appeal to me. I recognized the name Hansa from another much-played soundscape recorded in Berlin, the previous year's Tangerine Dream disc Stratosfear.
The 1920s mythos of sexually depraved anything goes doomed and decadent Berlin cast its powerful spell on me since my childhood. Marlene Dietrich's many bittersweet songs dedicated to the city of her birth were never far from my turntable, along with the Brecht/Weill modernist operas which provided part of the Weimar Republic's soundtrack. The city's particular mood of nightmare angst preserved in the UFA films of the 20s and early 30s had long since shaped my sense of aesthetics. Dr. Mabuse, M, and the Blue Angel were central cultural touchstones. Influences incarnated earlier that semester when I played Cabaret's sinister nightclub Master of Ceremonies in drama class.
That heady backdrop helped me imagine Iggy crooning his disaffected dirges in an artfully monochrome fantasy West Berlin I created in my mind. A desolate war-scorched ruin as grainy gray and cold as the album cover's color scheme. The grim city I invented appealed to my morbidity as the polar opposite of the sunny and vacuous "have a nice day" L.A. I detested. I liked to think I could see an echo of the anguished Expressionist spirit of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari's Cesare the somnambulist in Iggy's stylized pose on the cover.
Through some glitch in my unformed adolescent brain, until The Idiot fell into my hands, I conceived of the Berlin whose cultural legacy so bewitched me as being as lost as Atlantis. An urban void erased from time and space in 1945, no more worthy of visiting than a parking lot where once stood a razed palace. In 1977, Germany's ghostly former capital wasn't hip or trendy in the least. It was a nearly forgotten backwater, save when it showed up as the uninviting setting for the previous decade's already dated Cold War thrillers.
I'd already worn out the grooves of Lou Reed's album Berlin, which certainly made an impression too. But it was the fact that Pop's music was actually recorded there that got me thinking about Berlin as a tangible locale where innovative art was still being created by the last of the bohemians. The Idiot, which I've always seen as the unfairly unacknowledged missing part of what should really be remembered as Bowie's Berlin Quartet was probably the first consciously noticed catalyst drawing me to the city I'd end up spending more of my life in than any other.
I say "conscious", because deeper psychic deposits would later be stirred suggesting that this music and its associations only reawakened some pre-existing karmic connection between my mindstream and Berlin.
Some years later, I learned that Pop and Bowie had only briefly visited Berlin when they recorded The Idiot in 1976. So my fantasy of a "real Berlin" which the album triggered in me was itself only based on the shaky ground of their fantasies of a mythic metropolis they barely knew. But that's okay. I'd discover that Berlin doesn't really exist anyway.
Much of The Idiot, like Low before it, was actually recorded in the Chateau d'Herouville near Paris. But we're dealing here with the potent effect of myth to move the adolescent imagination, not anything so prosaic and ambiguous as fact. Worth noting but rarely mentioned: parts of the haunting Low and The Idiot were recorded in a studio famously rumored to be literally haunted.

This North Yarmouth Maine property has tremendous potential for the savvy investor.
Brett's Team Says:
"251 Greely Rd, North Yarmouth has terrific appeal as a Barn Wedding Venue and the market for this type of event in Maine is hot right now. Great curb appeal, excellent barn, plenty of room out back. Come take a look and have a chat at the town office. Could be a winner."
Considering converting a rural property into a Barn Wedding Venue? Keep these essential components in mind!
1) A Barn! Size and location of the barn will be essential to the venue success. Consider 60-80 people per 1000 square to be a comfortable basis to evaluate a property. In general, depending on layout, size of dance floor and decor for each party, 2000 square feet is a good place to start to ensure you can serve a broad range of potential clients.
2) Privacy for the Wedding Party and Overnight Accommodations: Onsite accommodation for separate preparation of bride and groom and their maids and groomsmen is a must. Also ideal, but not required, is space for at least the bride and groom to stay over night. An onsite wedding suit is a terrific, romantic selling point. At the very least, proximity to hotels, B&B's and Air BnB's should be considered for out of town, out of State wedding guests. A great location will include places to stay that are convenient to your venue and easy to book.
3) Catering Space: An open concept kitchen, connected efficiently to the barn is essential to seamless organization of the event, whether you are doing it yourself, or allowing the wedding party to hire their own service. Plan on upgrades to most properties to make this a central highlight of your venue.
4) PARKING! many venue development plans stop here, as most towns have specific code requirements for public parking lots and you'll need to comply. As an 100 guests equals 50 parking spaces. Your venue may hold 200 guests, but if you can't park them all, the party might be over. Additional acreage and road frontage to accommodate access are key.
5) Permitted Use and Town Approval: Keep in mind that these are two separate issues. The location you are considering may qualify as a wedding venue by ordinance (permitted use), but you will still need to apply for town approval. Most towns code offices will be happy to discuss your idea prior to purchase to help you decide but actual approval will only happen at a scheduled town meeting. Get to know the neighborhood, plan ahead and be ready to address objections in advance.
