Greetings and welcome to the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants!
It is with great honor and humility that I have the opportunity to serve as Executive Director of the Massachusetts Office of Refugees and Immigrants (ORI). As a former refugee from Vietnam, I learned firsthand that adapting to a new country was a tremendous challenge. From acquiring a new language to adopting a new way of life and custom, navigating through my teenage years in the US required all the support available to me and my family. I learned that without the help from our government institutions, local resettlement agencies, and sponsors, my family and I would not have become self-sufficient and be a part of the American dream we enjoy today. We are forever grateful for the support and friendships we have received.
To strengthen the work of ORI, I am committed to support the coordination of state policies and programs that affect and serve immigrants; to promote the full participation of refugees and immigrants in the economic, civic, social, and cultural life of the Commonwealth; and to foster a public environment that recognizes and supports the ethnic and cultural diversity of the Commonwealth.
The Massachusetts Office of Refugees and Immigrants is a federally funded refugee resettlement focused program. ORI is recognized for its dedicated, seasoned professionals that work with resettlement agencies to coordinate the services that refugees and immigrants need such as English language proficiency classes, employment services, cash and medical assistance, foster care for unaccompanied minors, and social adjustment services. I am proud to work with our fine team at ORI. On behalf of the team, I invite you to explore our website resources and available services that aim to help you and those who wish to become a contributing integral part of the rich cultural and ethnic diversity that is our Commonwealth.
This information is provided by the Office for Refugees and Immigrants.

The AT-101 is the result of 4 years development based around the Fairchild 670 Stereo Limiter/Compressor it is a blend of modern technology and traditional construction, the original was developed during the late 50's and has gained a somewhat mythical status, in both recording studios and value. Favored by many recording engineers for its natural uncoloured sound, original units typicaly command high prices.
The AT-101 shares exactly the same circuit and components used in this technology. The aim is to breathe life back into a product that has for many years been unavailable. The goal is to make this unique brand of audio compression equipment commercially available to everybody.
Many attempts have been made to recreate it, mostly by [now] established American manufactures using parts of the circuit and different tubes in a smaller box. The AT-101 brings together 50 years of established technology using state of the art low noise components and returns classical methods of audio compression back to the studio.
Analoguetube.com builds and manufactures the AT-101 using traditional electronic methods with parts that are sourced commercially and that are commonly available. These units have been built by hand as close to the original as possible using standard high quality components and are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for the life of the equipment from the original date of manufacture.
Each unit is shipped with a fully protective foamed-out Peli road case with wheels as standard.
IR-909 is a drum machine for the iPhone inspired by the Roland TR-909. IR-909 features a 16-step sequencer, 4 patterns, 8 different drum sounds and the ability to adjust tempo(BPM) and shuffle amount.

Feral Cats at a Glance
Feral cats, sometimes called "free-roaming" or "alley" cats, are homeless domestic felines who have reverted to a wild state. This happens when cats are raised entirely without human contact, generally as offspring of lost or abandoned cats. Feral cats are not just shy, lost pets; they are extremely frightened of people and typically cannot be touched or handled.
Because feral cats are so afraid of people and cannot be successfully socialized, they cannot be placed as companions and are euthanized at most shelters. An alternative for feral cats that many communities are embracing is called trap-neuter-return (TNR).
TNR involves trapping the feral cats in a humane trap, having the cats spayed or neutered, and then re-releasing them back into the area where they were trapped. Spaying and neutering stabilizes the feral population in the neighborhood and helps reduce many of the behaviors that people may find annoying, such as territorial fighting among tomcats and territorial spraying.
Feral Cat Resources:
· Alley Cat Allies is a national group that advocates for TNR programs.
· Feral Cat Spay Neuter Project provides free feral/stray cat spay/neuter at their clinic in Seattle. Reservations are required.
· Feral Cat Assistance & Trapping will help trap, spay and neuter, and return feral cats.

Hi! And thanks so much for your interest in our family portrait services!
Our team of staff photographers would love the opportunity to work with you and your family. We have sessions available all week long, and even offer both AM and PM time slots to accommodate your schedule.
How much is this?
The value of your investment is based on the photographer's time and talent and we currently offer one simple package for $300. This includes: your photographer for about an hour, lab development and retouching, and all images available for preview in a private gallery for you to choose your final selections.
Do I get the digital copies?
You may choose to purchase high-resolution digital copies of your images, prints, canvases and even albums. You can do this in person in the studio, or online through your personal gallery. It is $500 to retain the access to the Digital Downloads of your edited high res images.
We do offer a print release that will allow you to reproduce images for your personal use – yes, you may print your photos elsewhere. However, many clients prefer not to be bothered dealing with labs and professional photo orders, so we offer a full line of products and we can handle the whole process for you.
Who will be my photographer?
You will be assigned one of our studio photographers for your session. Your assigned photographer has a portfolio available to for your viewing at any time. You will also be speaking to your photographer personally before your session to go over any questions you may have about your session.
Can Ann take my family portraits?
Yes, she can. Her fee is $500 not including the Digital Downloads, That covers her time, lab development and retouching, and all final images in a private gallery to preview.
Her rate is higher?
Yes, of course. As the gallery and studio owner, along with her reputation and experience, clients pay a premium for her talent and experience.
What to wear?
While some may opt for the more traditional white shirts and jeans, over the years we have found that picking 2 or 3 colors that mix well together wind up looking great in photos.
But what if I have to cancel?
All deposits are nonrefundable, however we do understand that you may need to cancel your session due to illness. Please do your best to provide the studio with at least 48 hours of notice so that your time may be made available to other clients.
What if it rains?
Any outdoor portrait entails many variables. Please be open to the fact that blue skys and sunshine don't always make the best photos. The most important thing is that everyone is present and comfortable. We like to make the final call on your session as close to the schedule time as possible in the interest of getting you the best lighting for your portrait.

Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic Police Motorcycle Rodeo
Learn About the MAPMRC
The Mid-Atlantic Police Motorcycle Rodeo was the "brain child" of Corporal A.D. Johnson, a motorcycle police officer with the Prince George's County Police Department, Prince George's County Maryland. In 1979, the first rodeo was held, to build up the skills and working relationships of the motorcycle officers in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Tragically in 1982, Corporal Johnson was killed in an on-duty motorcycle accident. In the spirit of Corporal A.D. Johnson, the organization continues today, heading into its 40th year of operation.

In August, we have a picnic instead of our monthly program (Inning.) This year our picnic will be held on Sunday, August
10, at the Izaak Walton League Lodge, 544 Branch Hill Loveland Rd., Loveland, OH 45140, along the Little Miami River and Bike Trail near Loveland, OH. Our potluck picnic gathering will be around 4:00 pm, but we invite you to come earlier in the day, place your picnic food in the refrigerator, and enjoy the activities that will be available.
Don't delay RSVP for the picnic today!
Bring your own bike (or rent one near Nesbit Park) and bike on the Miami Bike Trail, on your own or join the group ride about 2:00 with Elizabeth. Bring your canoe or kayak (or rent one at the nearby Loveland Kayak and Canoe Livery.) You can paddle on your own or join Sandy at 10:00 for a group paddle. There will also be a group hike/walk along the bike bath which meets at the Izaak Walton league lodge at 3:00. There's a fishing hole not far away – with catfish we hear. It's a lovely location and you may just want to come, visit with folks and watch the river glide by. Horseshoes, Volleyball, Badminton, Lawn *****, corn hole and croquet sets will be available.
We especially invite families to join us. Depending on the ages of your children, they may want to enjoy a bike ride or join you in a canoe. We'll have some games for the young ones, and there's a playground with slides, equipment to climb, and a sand box with toys. Enjoy live music from Queen City Balladeer, Steve Flammer.
Bring something to share for the picnic — appetizer, salad, vegetable, something to grill or a dessert — and your drink. We'll have a hot grill, plates, plasticware, cups, napkins and water.
For more information about the picnic, directions, information on the earlier biking and paddling outings, and to RSVP, contact Elizabeth Durrell at 513-481-1926, or Karen Nagel at 513-542-5259.

You've spent hours (days!) working on your items to sell, taking beautiful photos in just the right light, and promoting them through mainstream media channels. BING! Notification arrives that your item has sold. Time to relax as the work is done, right? Maybe not.
With the move in today's culture away from the mass produced and to the handmade, a personal touch throughout the buyers experience is key. Shipping a beautiful item in an old, reused packaging envelope covered in duct tape immediately detracts from the item inside the package – regardless of how perfectly made that item may be.
Here are a few tips on packaging for success:
- Think Layers: Start from the outside and work your way in. Think of the package as layers – what is the very first impression you want your buyer to have when they receive your package in the mail? Using simple brown paper wrapping and clear tape – and not reusing old, dirty envelopes or grocery store bags – provides a clean base for your packaging.
- Wrap Your Items: Now for the item you've sold. Wrapping items brings back fond memories of receiving gifts wrapped in traditional wrapping paper – and, whether the item is for the buyer or another person – gift wrapping the item is a great way to go. See the photo below; you can wrap in an additional layer of brown paper like Cristina of Handmaid Embroidery, in tissue paper like my quilts, or any other medium you choose. Include your brand if you have one; you can purchase branded ribbon at a very low price from many online sellers.
- Instructions for Use: Is there special care need for your gift? Instead of leaving the buyer to wonder how to clean, hang, wash, etc. your item, include a note with the relevant information. This is another opportunity to give it that personal touch; I include a color catcher along with the instructions for care (and a branded sticker on the bag) so buyers will know how to care for their liturgical quilts.
- Include a Small Token Gift: Unexpected items – no matter how small – included with the purchase always bring a smile to the buyer's face. Cristina includes a small handmade soap with each embroidery item she sells; this extra gift costs little but helps bring back repeat customers.
- Thank You: Don't forget how far a simple "thank you" goes. Thank your customer for purchasing your item. Buyers today have SO many different options when it comes to making a purchase, and thanking them for choosing to shop with you lets them know how appreciative you are!

It's T-2 months to "Your Major." So far you've scouted your major course and identified (and hopefully spent serious practice time improving) the three weakest parts of your game. That will go a long way toward ensuring your success, but there's work yet to be done.
THIS MONTH'S ASSIGNMENT: It's time to dial-in your up-and-down game for the short shots you expect to play in the tournament. If most of your course's greens are guarded by sand, you'll need to tidy up your lofted pitch-shot technique. If, on the other hand, most of the green fronts are clear of hazards, then you need to practice that old short-game stalwart, the bump-and-run.
LOFTED PITCH-SHOT SESSION: Take your two most lofted wedges to a practice area where you can pitch shots over sand. Hit six balls to the flagstick from three spots that force you to carry the shots 10, 30 and 50 yards. Focus on making as short a backswing as you can and then accelerating through the ball to a longer follow-through. Make sure you accelerate past impact for at least one foot. Repeat this drill three times during each session. (Note: If you can't find a place to practice this shot, get two free AlmostGolf practice balls at www.almostgolf.com and hit them at home in your backyard. You'll be amazed at how much they can help your pitch-shot swing.)
BUMP-AND-RUN SESSION: Use the same six-ball drill as above, except this time use a sweeping swing in which your clubhead barely touches the grass (do not take divots) with a 6-iron or a hybrid club. Dialing in your touch on these shots again requires acceleration through the ball, but this time you should also focus on matching the length of your swing to the roll-out distance of each shot—longer back-and through-swings for more roll, shorter back-and through-swings for less roll. (Note: If your major course demands both lofted pitches and bump-and-run approaches, split your practice sessions between the two techniques.)
It's T-minus 2 to your major—time to do serious work. Head to golf.com/yourmajor for more tips on how to be successful in YOUR major.

In preparation for next Sunday's rollout of the new English translation of the Mass, Fr. John Baldovin, SJ, professor of historical and liturgical theology at Boston College's School of Theology and Ministry, offers this in-depth introduction to the changes in the Mass. It's a longish presentation but well worth the time.

A very useful analysis. Thanks for posting it.
6 years 11 months ago
Thanks to Father Baldovan for his excellent explanation of the new English translation of the Mass. A fundamental problem, however, is that with its introduction the Hierarchy ignores the spiritual needs of the Laity ... particularly our younger generation ... and in so doing repudiates the wonderful teachings of Vatican Council II. The new translation quells spirituality for many of us in the pews ... making it harder to celebrate our lives in the Eucharist ... regressing backward instead of growing forward. And the change from 'ALL' to 'MANY' is so hurtful. In light of Vatican II, this Hierarchical mandate, pre-Vatican II style, makes many of us very, very angry!

Great setting powder. Inexpensive. Lots of powder. But limited Shade range. The medium light is perfect for my NC40 skin tone. Sets foundation. Doesn't settle in fine lines. Adds some color but not too much. Does not look chalky or shift the color of foundation. I wish more loose powders had a mechanism similar to bare minerals so that loose powders like this could me transported with ease without spillage. But for the price, its a great powder.

I went to the drugstore looking for L'oreal Translucide, but they didn't have it in my shade, so I bought this instead. It was one of those happy accidents, because I love this powder! In the past, I've used some higher end powders that I loved, including Fusion Beauty loose powder, and Laura Mercier Invisible Setting Powder. I can honestly say that this powder holds its own against much more expensive products! It is silky, lightweight and it just melts right into skin. I have dry skin, but I hate the feeling of sticky foundation, so I love the way this powder sets makeup without looking powdery or dull. I am peach-toned NC20 and I bought this powder in Light 100. My only complaint would be that the Light shade leans *slightly* cool. Yellow toned ladies might like the slight pink tone, however, as it could have a balancing/ brightening effect. Cool toned ladies will probably love this. The pink isn't really noticeable enough for it to be a mismatch for me. This is an otherwise perfect powder.

I decided to pick this product up after searching for a setting powder that doesn't contain parabens and paraffins. Unfortunately, this product does contain Talc. The packaging is really bulky so this can only be used as a setting powder. For blotting, I use another powder... Overall, this product is pretty decent. Keeps my oily skin at bay for about 4-5 hours. I would definitely recommend this for people looking for a cheap setting powder with a limited amount of harsh chemicals. I won't be repurchasing anytime soon because it contains 28.9g of product. This will probably last for years.... And even if I did run out, I would probably find an alternative without Talc in it..
Decent setting powder
Decent oil control (4-5 hours hold up)
A lot of product for $10 (28.9g)
Messy, can only be used as a setting powder due to bulky packaging
Contains Talc
I would recommend this to people searching for a cheap and decent setting powder that can be found at almost any drugstore!

I've been using this loose powder for several years and I LOVE it!! I wear it over a liquid foundation and it goes on and blends so nicely. It covers shine, feels lightweight, and does not look cakey or clumpy at all. I have tried several dept. store loose powders and they don't compare at all. It's my absolute fav!! I wear the Light 100 shade. :)

This is an awesome powder! It works great for oil control, skin evening and it's light and natural looking. I always get compliments when I use it. Plus it's very affordable. However I haven't been able to find it in stores anywhere, I think they discontinued it which is a major bummer.

Love this product! It gives a nice pretty finish to my foundation and suits my sensitive skin very well! It made my super dry cheeks very soft and smooth. The only reason I gave it a 4 not a 5 is that it made my forehead area oily. I have combination skin so it's generally difficult to find a powder that suits my super dry cheeks and oily forehead well. But in the end I will definitely buy this again.

I've been using this the past few days & I'm on the fence about it. I love the finish I have when I set my foundation with it but I'm noticing I've been getting even more oily since using it. I also noticed that by the end of the day I'm about 3 shades darker than I was when I first applied it. It doesn't break me out thankfully. This really has its pro's and con's. I think I'm just gonna use it when I only need to wear makeup for a short period of time so I don't look oily & oxidized.

I was so excited to try this because I have been on a hunt for a good loose powder, based on the reviews I went for this, after trying the NYC that covered nothing! Well, it does make the the skin look pretty nice, but it made my dry, sensitive skin super oily! I looked so shiny after about an hour! Ultimately I am not a fan, on the hunt again!

I use Loreal True Match in 3N and Almay tone 200 is a perfect shade for the pressed powder I have in true match. I even put some on top of it and it was unreal how well the two of them matched in color. That being said, it does darken slightly my foundation and concealer just like the Loreal does. So I think I'm going to exchange it for tone 100. I purchased it to set the concealer I bought and it darkened it. Argg. It does a good job on the face. Not too matte but does take away shine. I already have a powder thats pretty much the same as this one.

Color (I use light) is nice and neutral, and product has a beautiful texture and feels nice on the skin. It also has no offensive fragrance. Unfortunately, it emphasizes fine lines, doesn�t hold up to oil well, and starts looking ragged after a few hours of wear. I think this would be a fine product for young skin, but at 40, I need something that doesn�t make my skin look crepey and older.

(CBS) CENTENNIAL, Colo.- Ari Misha Liggett was arrested early Wednesday morning after police say they found the dismembered remains of an unidentified adult female in the back of his car, CBS Denver reports.
Arapahoe County Sheriff's deputies are investigating whether or not the remains are the 24-year-old's missing mother, whose name has not been released.
Family members became concerned for the welfare of the woman and her son and reported them both missing on Monday. Deputies began an investigation, tracking the pair through credit card transactions.
Around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, deputies watched a vehicle associated with Liggett and his mother being driven through the neighborhood close to their home but were unable to make contact. Twenty minutes later, Greenwood Village Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the car, but Liggett eluded police and crashed his car. Ligget fled on foot and was soon apprehended by an officer.
The dismembered remains of an adult female were found in the back seat of the vehicle he was driving. The remains have yet to be identified and Liggett's mother is still missing.
Liggett remains in custody at the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility without bond pending the filing of first degree murder charges.
The investigation continued at Liggett's home where suspicious liquid was discovered by hazardous materials crews. The liquid is being tested at two different facilities. The area around the home was closed off for several hours on Tuesday evening while the liquid was being removed from the house.
Deputies said the liquid has been contained and is not a threat to surrounding homes.

Matters of the Heart (Sandeep Chowta)
Matters of the Heart and Angels in the Desert are pleasantly lounge'ish and ride on Naveen and Dave Valentin's fascinating flute, respectively, besides Tom Schuman's piano in the latter. The melody in Close Your Eyes is enchanting, made better by Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's Mohan Veena joining Russel Ferrante's piano and topped with William Kennedy drums in the end. Red Drops of Love and Soltude bring back memories of Joao Gilberto, with Dave Grusin's piano having a splendid time with Ricardo Silveira on the guitar in the former, and Rocardo having a free run in the latter!
Jay Beckenstein's sax or Lee Ritenour and Chuck Loeb's guitar? It's tough to pick the highlight in No Degrees of Separation, while Your Temperature Takes Me Places seems to evoke the same aura as George Michael's Cowboys And Angels. Dichotomy Love, the longest song of the album is Deepak Pandit (violin) and Frank Gambale's (guitar) show all the way. Sandeep's Tribute to Michael Brecker has fantastic sax by Eric Marienthal, backed by superb keyboard by Mitch Forman. Mitch is amazing in Love is on the Run as well, collaborating with Miriam Stockley's vocals, while Tom's piano is spellbinding in Akira.
Amy! You Never Let Go has a killer guitar solo by Frank, while the four guitar players in Happiness is a Chemical Reaction produce consistently mesmerizing pieces, with Bradon Fields's sax adding significant value all across! Waiting sees Sandeep's protégé, Sonu Kakkar produce an expansive stunner with strong support from Patrice Rushen in the piano even as you soak into Walt Fowler's stunning trumpet in The Idea of Being in Love. That leaves one with Every Night is Lonely Night and Now & Then, the two tracks that work only intermittently. Sandeep Chowta soars far above his mainstream contemporaries with his effort in Matters Of The Heart.
Keywords: Sandeep Chowta, Matters of the Heart, #300, 300
PS 1: The only other Indian composer who has ventured successfully outside his filmy comfort zone with this level of success and proficiency, as far as I can recall, is Ilayaraja, with albums like How To Name It and Nothing But Wind. Sandeep produced a cracker of a soundtrack for the Nagarjuna starrer Kedi, but it hardly got the exposure or praise it truly deserved. So, I'm really glad he has decided to unshackle this film-dependence and do something completely on his own, with some of the best names in the world of Jazz fusion.
PS 2: My awareness of the Jazz world or the Jazz fusion world is incredibly limited. All I can do is write what I feel when I listen to the album and for someone who is significantly well-versed in that genre of music, this review (a personal opinion, at best) may seem really tame. It perhaps is; but for everyone else sailing in my boat… try this album out!

The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) got their first look at a brand new Lakeland Rustlers men's basketball team, one that is capable of playing a shootout style basketball game, while also being able to lock down under pressure.
In their season debut against the Augustana Vikings, the Rustlers put up 110 points in a 110-61 victory, limiting the Vikings to under 20 points in each quarter. In the follow up game on Saturday night at Lakeland's home opener, the Rustlers came away with their second victory of the season with a 69-53 performance, marking the first time Lakeland has started the season 2-0 since 2011.
"Our team has never won a game by that many points before, so it is a brand new experience for them and myself," said head coach Sheray Thomas. "My guys battled, and at the end of the day we still won. It is early in the season, so there is a lot to do, but I am happy to be 2-0, that's for sure."
Prentice Gardner started his ACAC career off with 25 points on Friday night to lead the Rustlers to victory, and followed it up on Saturday with another team leading 15 point effort. Gardner is shooting 50 per cent from the floor so far, and led the team with 59 minutes of court time between the two games.
Lloydminster native David Salus counted 15- and 14-points in the season openers to give the Rustlers secondary scoring, while combined, six different Rustler players scored double-digit points in the 110-61 victory, while four had over 10 in Saturday night's win as well.
"It's just about gelling together right now," said Salus. "Definitely a team win. That is the thing with this team, pretty unselfish guys. For most of the season we are going to be an unselfish team. At the end of the day, to be 2-0, we are pretty happy with that."
Thomas noted that Lakeland will have to continue to keep their composure if another team goes on a scoring run. Rather than trying to do it all themselves, Thomas wants to see the Rustlers slow down the pace and work as a five-man unit, rather than trying to go at it alone. But with so many new names in the lineup still working on coming together, that will be a constant work in progress. And for now, starting 2-0 is the best confidence booster the Rustlers could ask for as they plan to take on Concordia this weekend.
"I'm definitely happy to be 2-0, rather than 0-2," said Thomas. "But at the same time there is a lot to work on. Concordia is one of the better teams on our side. On the (North) side, there are probably four teams that are pretty even. So next weekend we will see how good we really are."

Entry Credits
What are Entry Credits?
Entry Credits purchase fixed amounts of data in Factom the network.
How to get Entry Credits?
Option #1) Factoids can converted to Entry Credits at a variable exchange rate set by the Federated servers. Read how to convert Factoids to Entry Credits.
Option #2) Purchase Entry Credits directly here.
Are Entry Credits recycled or burned?
Entry Credits are burned.
Entry Credits are not transferable, and can be treated as a product instead of a currency. This is great for institutions who shun cryptocurrency. Cost to use the system is based on usage, independent of Factoid exchange rate. It is used in the voting system. People who use the system have a say in how it is run, not currency holders or people who burn electricity. The Value of Entry Credits as a hacking target is greatly diminished since Entry Credits are not transferable.


text: Don't know if this topic was address recently. I usually do not turn the AC on unless its 79 degrees or higher. The weather has been really cool. The other day was humid so I had the AC turn on. I noticed a funny smell coming out of the vent. This happen again yesterday. I had my car for almost a year now and so far everything has been working great. Does anybody experience this at all? Planning to call Service center to see what's going on.

In enhancing existing management tools and designing new ones for SQL Server 2005—formerly code-named Yukon—Microsoft's SQL Server Tools team followed two guiding principles: "no secrets" and integration. Euan Garden, product unit manager for SQL Server Tools for SQL Server 2005, tells SQL Server Magazine how his team relied on these principles to build database-management functions that are more transparent, more robust, and easier to use.
What are the top new management tools in SQL Server 2005?
We're introducing several new and exciting tools in SQL Server 2005 that will build on what we provided customers in SQL Server 2000. Microsoft's goal is to continue to enhance database-management functions to make them more robust and easier to use.
SQL Server Management Studio, previously called SQL Server Workbench, is perhaps the most visible new tool in SQL Server 2005. Management Studio combines the functionality of Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer, and Analysis Manager into one consolidated tool. Management Studio also provides integrated management of Reporting Services, Notification Services, XML, SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition (formerly code-named Laguna), and multiple versions of SQL Server from the same interface for increased DBA productivity, flexibility, and manageability.
Besides integrating the range of functions and technologies I just listed, we've also tried to address as many customer requests as possible within the new Management Studio environment. We received a lot of feedback about Enterprise Manager, which is a key tool for most of our customers today. And we wanted to make it even more productive. Today in Enterprise Manager, people primarily interact with the UI's dialogs, which pop up and block the rest of the UI, making it difficult to do multiple tasks at the same time—especially when Enterprise Manager is performing a long-running operation such as backup and restore. In addition, we found that many users are running SQL Server Profiler with Enterprise Manager to find out what statements Enterprise Manager is sending to the server so they can run the statements later in batch. To address these issues, we've introduced a new type of dialog that's resizable and non-blocking. The new dialogs also let customers script and schedule their actions, which we believe makes the UI much more transparent. We've also streamlined the SQL calls that request information from the server and replaced Current Activity with a new Activity Monitor. The new Activity Monitor performs more efficient queries, automatically refreshes, and supports sorting and filtering.
Another new tool, the Database Tuning Advisor (DTA), replaces the Index Tuning Wizard (ITW), providing a richer, more scalable experience that leverages the core concepts we introduced in the ITW in SQL Server 7.0. To improve productivity, we've separated the UI from the tuning engine. With this new tool, DBAs can leave a tuning session, close the UI, and come back to it later or have multiple sessions tuning at the same time, each session potentially running against different servers. DTA can also recommend a partitioning strategy.
SQL Computer Manager is a new configuration tool that extends Computer Manager and supports disconnected configurations for all the server products, including SQL Server, Analysis Server, and Reporting Server. Good examples of where disconnected configurations could be useful are in setting service accounts (where changing the password no longer requires a reboot) and in creating and editing aliases. You can also perform these tasks through our Management APIs, which provide transparency and control.
In addition, we received a lot of feedback about how to enhance SQL Server 2000 SQLMail. Listening to customer requests, we felt the right solution was not to try to take the SQLMail architecture forward but instead to start leveraging new technologies such as managed code and SQL Server Service Broker to create SQLiMail in SQL Server 2005. We discovered that customers wanted the following: no requirement to install Microsoft Outlook on their servers, added support for the SMTP protocol, and a simpler way to configure the mail solution. SQLMail still exists in SQL Server 2005, but SQLiMail replaces most of its functionality. The new product works very differently from SQLMail because it's not dependent on Messaging API (MAPI) or Outlook and it works in a range of server environments, such as clustered and 64-bit implementations. SQLiMail also works with a wide range of SMTP servers in addition to Microsoft Exchange. SQLiMail actually goes into a Service Broker queue and uses an external .exe file to send mail from outside the server process.
The last new component I can share is SQLCMD, the new command-line tool that replaces osql and, to a lesser degree, isql. In trying to better understand how we could help make DBAs more productive in the operations and command-line environment, we interviewed and watched lots of them as they did their work, primarily using osql, batch files, and script. With SQLCMD, I think we've created a simple yet effective tool that DBAs will love.
What enhancements have you made to existing tools?
For Profiler, we've added support for profiling and replaying Analysis Services, for profiling Data Transformation Services (DTS), for Performance Monitor correlation, for deadlock visualization, for Showplan extraction, and much more. For SQL Agent, we've done a lot of work on performance and security, and we've added features to support Windows Management Interface (WMI)-based alerts and new subsystems such as DTS and Analysis Services.
Is there a design philosophy that permeates the new and improved management tools?
Our guiding principles for SQL Server 2005 tools are "no secrets" and integration. "No secrets" means that everything we do in the UI should be exposed to users and independent software vendors (ISVs) through an API and that DBAs should be able to work out what we've done and be able to reproduce it more easily. For integration, we built SQL Server Management Studio to aggregate the management of three different components—SQL Server, Analysis Services, and Reporting Services—and several other components. In addition, SQL Computer Manager, Profiler, and Replay work with more than just SQL Server.
Can SQL Server DBAs and developers keep Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer on their desktops and use them as they're getting used to the new SQL Server 2005 tools? And what is Microsoft doing in the toolset for backward compatibility?
We want to make this an easy transition for customers. So if you install SQL Server 2005 alongside SQL Server 2000, existing versions of Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer will continue to service SQL Server 2000 and 7.0. However, if you upgrade to SQL Server 2005, we'll replace the tools. Management Studio also works against non-SQL Server 2005 servers, as does Profiler and other tools.
Will SQL Server 2005 or a future release provide built-in tools for data loading and stress testing?
The tools I use to perform these tasks are DTS or SQLCMD for data loading and Replay for stress testing (this is the same tool we use internally). The new capabilities in SQLCMD make it a powerful tool for batch work, including data loading. And in Replay, you can rerun traces from custom managed-code applications because we've exposed the Replay engine through a series of APIs that let you perform the same actions without having to use the Replay GUI.
Do SQL Server 2005's management tools let you isolate resource-utilization problems, such as excessive I/O, CPU, and memory utilization, and who's causing these problems? Currently, customers have to use undocumented features to isolate such problems—for example, using DBCC SQLPERF with WAITSTATS, IOSTATS, and UMSSTATS options. What is Microsoft doing to help customers tune and analyze SQL Server more effectively?
No matter who or what is causing the resource-utilization problems, the first step to solving them is making sure that the data is available. With the next release of SQL Server, we've focused on providing more information within the servers. For the relational server, you can see this data through a new technology called Dynamic Management Views. These views provide a snapshot of internal structures and states so that you can query, archive, and compare such information. We'll expose this information through a series of reports, but we're also working with tools vendors to help them better expose and leverage this information. Exposing this information will make the server far more transparent and will help customers diagnose many of the issues you list.
Does Microsoft plan on adding a SQL Server "health" application that can evaluate and suggest tuning enhancements and configuration changes?
Today, customers can use the SQL Server 2000 Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) to scan their systems and ensure they're up-to-date. BPA is in beta testing now, but already, we've received positive feedback about its ability to help customers make their systems more productive. In addition, we work closely with the Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) team and, last year, released a major update to the SQL Server Management Pack that's part of MOM. MOM 2005 will feature significant enhancements, including the explicit changes we engineered to support SQL Server. One example is that you'll be able to run diagnostic queries from inside the MOM Operations Console.
A key change that will make the next release of MOM more effective for SQL Server professionals is that it will include fewer SQL rules by default. This might seem like a weird enhancement, but bear with me for a moment. One challenge in an operations environment is prioritizing problems. Because of this, when a warning goes off, it has to be real. In MOM-speak, this means making sure that when we raise an alert, it's valid and critical to the environment. We've also worked on adding SQL Server-specific tasks to the environment.
What have you done in SQL Server 2005 to make it easier for DBAs to manage multiple servers? And realistically, how many servers could one DBA manage for simple administration tasks?
In SQL Server 2005, you have five key tools for managing multiple servers. Some of these tools existed in SQL Server 2000 and have been enhanced; others are new in SQL Server 2005:
- SQL Agent (master and target server—MSX/TSX)—Allows jobs created on one server to run on any number of other servers.
- SQLCMD—We added the ability to connect to multiple servers through a single script.
- Maintenance plans—This great new technology simplifies the creation of complex workflow-based maintenance plans. We've leveraged the rich control flow from DTS to provide the execution engine for maintenance. We generate DTS packages that you can edit and run. All these packages do is generate T-SQL, so you also have improved transparency for maintenance.
- Scriptable dialogs—These new UI elements in Management Studio let you use the UI as a T-SQL generation tool. You can then use SQL Agent to schedule and distribute these T-SQL scripts.
- MOM—As discussed earlier, you can run diagnostic queries and perform more SQL Server-specific tasks.
We know of DBAs managing more than 250 servers by using MSX/TSX today, and our goal is to raise that number in SQL Server 2005.
How are the concepts of authoring and management different from a tools perspective? Several white papers about the new toolset use these terms.
Authoring is writing. Just as this interview is written in English, scripts are written in a variety of languages, including T-SQL, MDX, XML for Analysis (XML/A), XML, XQuery, and so on. We want to provide a rich, consistent, integrated environment for authoring that includes core functionality such as version control, Intellisense, projects, templates, and a range of other features across all languages. Management, in contrast, encompasses the core tasks that DBAs perform, such as backup and restore, user management, and so on.
Both terms emerged from an exercise we did to identify tasks and roles for SQL Server administration before starting work on SQL Server 2005. When we did the task-analysis exercise for SQL Server, we found groups of tasks that fall under the DBA role, and we grouped these tasks into six experiences. To this day, we think about the tools within the context of these six experiences:
- Management—includes core tasks such as backup, restore, and security
- Authoring—writing scripts
- Operations—"lights out" scalability of management; includes SQL Agent, MOM, and SQLCMD
- Performance Tuning and Optimization—includes tools such as DTA, Profiler, and Replay
- Configuration—primarily handled by SQL Computer Manager
- APIs—used to write custom scripts that mirror the functionality provided by the tools I mentioned earlier, including WMI, SMO, and the new trace and replay objects
In a smaller organization, one person may have the experience and ability to perform all these tasks. However, in a larger organization, the tendency is for these tasks and experiences to be spread out across people and even across broader teams.
SQL Server 2005 introduces a new sample database called Adventure Works. What benefits does this new sample database bring SQL Server DBAs and developers?
The Adventure Works sample database, which we've worked on for a couple of years, replaces the Northwind, Pubs, and Foodmart sample databases. Although we'll still supply the scripts for some of these older databases, they won't be installed. When we looked at the range of features in the next release of SQL Server—such as schemas, partitions, SQL Server Service Broker, and the XML data type—we realized we wouldn't be able to build many samples using Northwind and Pubs because their data models aren't rich enough to support our scenarios. Instead, we made an effort to build samples that show integrated solutions ranging from e-business, to financials, to manufacturing, to business intelligence (BI). We feel that Adventure Works greatly enhances our ability to demonstrate new functionality through samples, Books Online (BOL), Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), and other resources.
SQL Server 2005 introduces a dedicated administration connection. What is this connection, and what's it good for?
Think about this problem: You have a runaway query inside SQL Server that's using all the CPU and eating up memory. To diagnose the problem and potentially kill the query, you need to connect and find out what's going on. But because the CPU and memory are maxed out, you can't access the server. In SQL Server 2005, you can connect through SQLCMD by using the Dedicated Admin Connection (DAC) because we reserve a small amount of resources at startup time to let this connection take priority. DAC will be available for troubleshooting only and won't be available for normal queries.
What benefits does SQL Server 2005's dynamic Help bring us? Do the tools provide other functionality to make it easier for people to find information?
The new Help system, which we're sharing with Visual Studio, is a leap forward. Dynamic Help lets you see the Help within the editor rather than having to separately search for the Help item in another window. The new Help search engine also lets you search within BOL and the community for answers.
What three features of SQL Server 2005's new management tools are you most proud of?
I'm proud of many of the features and requests we've incorporated from customers. Our customers feel that we made significant advances with SQL Server 7.0 and 2000, and I'm confident that they'll be just as pleased with the new level of management tools in SQL Server 2005. If I have to get specific, I think I'm most proud of the new dialogs in SQL Server Management Studio, SQLCMD, and SQLiMail. I'm convinced that DBAs will love these tools. However, if you catch me on a different day, when I'm spending time with different aspects of the tools, I could easily give you three different favorites.
Is SQL Server Management Studio really Visual Studio (VS) in sheep's clothing? Will DBAs need to learn VS to be proficient with SQL Server administration, and will they need to license VS?
SQL Server Management Studio uses some pieces of VS, but it isn't VS. And DBAs won't need to install, learn, or license VS to be able to administer SQL Server.
What role does WMI play in the SQL Server 2005 tools world, and how does SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) map to WMI?
We added a WMI provider on top of SQL-DMO in SQL Server 2000. For SQL Server 2005, customers said they preferred the strongly typed, rich object model in SQL-DMO, so we're moving to a series of new management object models in managed code. These models, called Management Objects, come in three specializations: SQL Server Management Objects (SMO), Replication Management Objects (RMO), and Analysis Management Objects (AMO).
We've also added a new WMI provider for configuration. Customers who want to change service-account passwords, client-configuration properties, or other disconnected configuration information can do so through WMI. However, we've also wrapped this functionality in SMO to accommodate customers who want to use only one object model.
Why are you providing a single environment—SQL Server Management Studio—for all query types such as T-SQL and MDX?
We're providing a unified environment for T-SQL and MDX for a couple of reasons. The first is that we want to provide a consistent authoring experience. The second is that a lot of customers work in both languages. For example, if you want to build a data warehouse, you'll end up writing T-SQL scripts and MDX and maybe XML/A. We want to provide a single experience for that customer.
Does SQL Server 2005 provide better tools for debugging and managing source code?
Yes, the next release of SQL Server features a new debugger resulting from our collaboration with the Visual Studio team. And the authoring experience has source-control integration.

Typically our summer camp at Coorg has 60 participants who work in 4 smaller activity groups of 15-18 participants under the care and guidance of trained outdoor instructors. Participants select two of the four activities offered on the program - Rock Climbing, Wilderness Craft, Back Packing, and Ropes Course. They are engaged with the 2 selected activities for 3 days each. The chosen outdoor activities are conducted in the first half of the day. Post lunch, participants engage in activities that include community service, environment awareness or village visits. Late evenings are for informal activities, campfire, and group interaction.
We currently do not have any programs planned for Coorg Explore Program
Please Note: While fun is an important element in our designs, we do not promise a cushioned, luxury holiday. We take utmost care to ensure that children are well fed, remain hydrated and have a comfortable sleep. But being without phones, sharing living spaces, baths, toilets is as much a part of the unfamiliar environment that aids learning as the great big outdoors.

They say that shooing portraits in broad daylight such as high noon is nuts, that it cant be done and that anyone with sense will avoid it like the plague. Most times these experts are correct but one of the things that a professional photographer has to learn is to adapt and make things work out the way they need to. So with that in mind, let me tell you about my weekend of shooting Santa Claus.
I got an email from a acquaintance asking if I would possibly be able to shoot a session involving Santa Claus, families and a public park with four days notice. I had to juggle things but I replied yes, for a small fee and the list of names of the families with their email addresses. Now shooting this event was going to be a royal b**ch since it was going to be a public park and starting at 11AM then running till 1PM. No tent, no cover of any kind. The last four years showed snapshots taken with on camera flash blasting the families to overpower the sun. Last years was pretty underexposed since it had been a grey day and the camera didnt get the settings right.
I decided to raise the bar and execute this event better than anyone there had seen before. I have a very cool Christmas themed muslin backdrop that is pretty decent quality and I have several 20lb sand bags. I also have reflectors but no portable strobes yet. I was bummed but I could not find a battery pack to run my Photogenics or get a small generator on such short notice. So I ended up using my SB800s instead.
I put up the backdrop, doubled it over to keep light from leaking through the back and had the back facing the sun directly to get the most shade I could. I put 25lbs of sand on each leg (ended up with 50lbs before the shoot was over) plus two 10 lb bags clipped to the bottom of the shortened backdrop to keep it from flapping around. I did not care about lighting it separately as there was so much ambient light, I didnt need to. On the SB800, I used a 1/2 cut CTO gell to squash the bluewhite "daylight" look of the flash. I prepped two more flashes with batteries ready to go. I had a spare body prepped and ready to go.
I put Santa in his chair and metered him using my older but reliable Minolta meter, the camera meter gets very confused with this type of shooting so I dont trust the brains of the camera. I then put everything on manual, dialed it in and shot off several images with my 17-55mmF2.8. I ended up going with my 1.4 50mm at F10 and ISO 200. The shadow was just long enough to keep me in shade without too much flare in the lens. The images did need their black points pushed way up as they were flat. I knew that from the first few pictures. I used a gold reflector to throw a dash of golden light on Santa Claus and the clients. The SB800 was dialed down -1/2 exposure compensation to avoid blowing out skin tones knowing that by shooting raw, I can easily dial it in.
You can see here the extreme differences between the sun and shade of the backdrop. I took this with my iPhone to avoid screwing with my numbering sequence on my shooting body.
So I ended up shooting about 40 families over three hours. Everyone had a lot of fun and everyone was blown away by the backdrop. But when I showed off the images, jaw dropped. The images really looked good and nobody believed that they were shot at noon and in a park. The grass was not a problem because 99% of the shots were "head shots" style.
Now that we had the shots, I used BayPhoto's ROES software to make up the Christmas cards. My client was giving away a free Christmas card and we settled on the 4×8 photo card. I used Bay's templates and treatments to make a simple card with a place for my friend to sign his name.
So in the end, with about 400 dollars in studio stuff that I already had from past shoots and 30 minutes of set up time, I was able to produce killer event shots of Santa Claus in a public park at high noon. I did this by using quality parts, by knowing how my equipment works and most importantly, how to work around problems on the fly. Were the images perfect out of the camera? No, they were not. They were flat and washed out even though they were correctly exposed based on the histogram. Thats partial due to the 50mm lens I shot with it. Partial from having to be very careful shooting into the light even though I had shade, there was still some spillover from the top of the background. But with shooting RAW, a few simple adjustments applied to each image and they all snapped into place.
So dont take the common wisdom as gospel like "you cannot shoot portraits at noon" or you can not use onboard flash effectively and so on. When you know your equipment and you know how light works, you can do amazing things when others say you can't. I have a happy client and 50 new possible clients who saw me shoot under difficult circumstances and still nail the shots.

Uber can't seem to shake its racist reputation. A top executive at the company resigned from her position after employees of color accused her of racial discrimination.
Technologies Inc's Chief People Officer Liane Hornsey announced that she was stepping down in an email to staff Thursday, July 5. Hornsey — who had been in the role as one of the ride-hailing firm's top spokespeople on diversity and discrimination issues for 18 months — had been the subject of an investigation into complaints that she discriminated against employees.
Hornsey was accused of having used "discriminatory language and [making] derogatory comments" about Uber Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion Bernard Coleman. She also allegedly threatened former Uber executive Bozoma Saint John, who left the company in June.
Several allegations were substantiated, Reuters reported. However, as the ish hit the fan, Hornsey gave no official reason for her resignation.
The Hornsey scandal is the latest to rock the embattled company, which has been named in several sexual harassment and gender discrimination complaints. The grievances were so widespread that former U.S Attorney General Eric Holder opened an investigation last year.
Uber also came under fire for its handling of the complaints. The company ignored a board-approved recommendation by Holder that its chief diversity officer report directly to the CEO or COO, employees said to Reuters. Also, complaints to Uber's anonymous tip line went unaddressed or were flat out dismissed, especially if race was involved, employees also said.
Uber agreed to pay $10 million to settle a proposed class-action discrimination lawsuit involving more than 400 women and people of color filed by three female engineers in March. One of the women dropped out of the suit to sue the company on her own for gender and race discrimination.

This i Believe
I have heard people say, "Follow your heart or follow your dreams", but do they honestly mean it? Personally I believe you should always follow your heart and not the
heart of others, no matter what the situation. This statement has become my motto because of the lessons I have learned and because of personal experiences in my life.
Throughout my life, I've often asked somebody the big question: "What should I do?" This question usually pertains to a relationship, a friendship or a job. Sometimes I would listen to this advice and then I ended up getting hurt because I followed someone else's heart and not my own. Which makes me ask why do people always ask for help, why can't everyone just listen to their hearts and do what they think is best for them?
As I was growing up, my parents said, "You should be a vet, a cheerleader, a pediatrician or even join the military." Sometimes my friends would tell me "You should dump him, he's not good enough for you, you can find someone way better," or they have said "Stay with her. She is so sweet. She always treats you like a queen." Why did I always ask others what I should do?.. Why couldn't I make up my own mind? Now I realize I was scared or I was too confused. I realize today that the only person's heart I should listen to is my own. The best person to ask about matters of my heart is me.
When I say, follow your heart and not the heart of others, I also mean, follow your dreams! Everyone should do what they feel is best for them. No one should depend on someone else to make up their mind for them.
Following my own motto and following my heart helped me to realize what I want to do for my career. I want to be a masseuse and maybe go into the military to get my education. It is my choice. As far as relationships go, I often don't know what I'm going to do, but I know I will make those decisions on my own.
Now I understand that my relationship problems should be only with whom I choose to be with and myself. Also the job I end up with in my life should be the result of my choosing. I realize I should turn to my heart first. Finally I hope everyone can learn from my saying or motto and follow their heart and not the heart of others.

Is it normal?
7 answers
My friend is having her little girl in about 5 weeks... I am not having my son for 10 weeks.. I am very upset! I want him to go full term and be born on his due date, but I just wanna hold my little man. Is it normal to be jealous of her? I tell my husband all the time, he just laughs at me lol but really I am happy for her I just wish mine was first lol.
answers (7)
It is normal. And those feelings may increase as she gets closer. You may also go early by a week or two, but trust me don't wish the time away. Enjoy these last 10 weeks because they are going to fly by. Your life will change dramatically in ways you can't even imagine once your little man gets here. Enjoy time alone with your hubby, make time to do special things for just the two of you, because unless you have a great and close family support it may be a while before you get to do stuff like that again. See a movie, go to a nice dinner - these are some things that once you have your little man will get put on hold for a while. I know you are happy for her and want your baby so bad, we've all been there and it will come! Hope this helps! :)
Thanks... I do hope he waits til his due date lol.. And me and my husband try to do stuff when we have time off work... Last weekend he rented a room at the hamton and dinner and movie it was amazin =) Thanks
That's probably one thing that I miss, is date night. We live 6 hours from our closest family so they are few and far between we probably get 4-5 date nights a year. Before you have the baby is also the only time when you don't talk about the baby. What he did, didn't do, what he ate, what he likes, dislikes, makes you laugh. It's hard on post baby date nights to talk of anything other than the kids because for us they are our life. You sound like you will be the same way. It sounds silly but you miss those things sometimes. As it got closer to our due dates I couldn't wait for them to get here. That need to see and hold your little one is huge the closer you get. I have a friend who can't have kids, so everytime one of us gets pregnant it just kills her so the jealousy thing I get! I have 2 cousins that are due right around the same time as me, so the race to have one first will be funny! :)
Haha good luck on that =)
yeah lol... I do want him to come on his due date i just wanna hold him lol
I know how you feel.. with our first child, my boyfriends cousin had her little girl 9 weeks before we were due to have ours. And while I was thrilled to be able to go up to the hospital and see them, she is one of my closest friends by the way.. I wanted to be there.. I was so ready to just hold my daughter and be a family.. try not to worry too much abotu it be happy for your friend and know that your time is coming soon! Enjoy the last few weeks of being pregnant, which may seem impossible to do but once I had her I actually missed feeling her move and the baby bump lol.. sounds crazy right? lol I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy and not rush it but having a 15 month old I seem to be the same way wanting my little man to just be here already and I am only 28 1/2 weeks so I still have awhile to wait lol

"As many of us say, it's not if, but when, we would like to really, really quickly so Vernita and I have the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of a married couple," Ewert said.
Those marriage benefits include social security if a partner dies or hospital visitation rights. Gray is living with bone cancer, so those issues hit home.
"Part of the coming out process is hey, I'm an American citizen. I pay taxes, social security. I want to be treated like every other American citizen. That is marriage," Gray said.
Gray has been a gay activist since the 1960s. Her next big challenge is convincing state lawmakers to pass the same sex marriage bill. While it has passed in the Senate, it doesn't quite have the votes in the House.
"The votes are just about there, we have a couple people who are still thinking, but when we put it up we will win," State Rep. Greg Harris, bill sponsor, said.
Harris faces strong opposition from a group of clergy. Bishop Larry Trotter and other African American ministers are aligning themselves with other denominations to lobby hard against the bill.
"Even if we lost the fight, it needs to be on the record we spoke up for what we believe," Bishop Trotter said.
Trotter believes gay marriage is out of line with what is taught in scripture. For Gray and Ewert, the bill is about equality and not religion
"For those in our country who don't want gay/lesbian marriage, they don't have to get one," Gray said.

Lumia 920 or iPhone 5 should've won. The innovation on Lumia 920 is unmatched by any other smartphone. The technology and level of precision of manufacturing of the iPhone are second to none. This award is bogus. The fact that the Lumia 920 swept every other awards except this speaks volumes on how this award can be bought. SGS3 the best smartphone? C'mon, it's just a piece of cheap plastic.

Is there a way to manually delete/block/prohibit only certain portable devices from connecting to my router? I just got internet. I made the fatal mistake of allowing my neighbor to use it. I hadn't given a single thought to the fact that it would use up all my bandwidth, but I also had no idea that they literally put my password in every device they owned. Without telling them (it's a real sticky situation) I would like to be able to block some of their devices, such as their Xbox or their phones (I am unsure as to why they even put it in their phones when they have fine 3g connection in our apartments) from making a connection. Fact of the matter is, I went through Xfinity and got the best/fastest internet they could provide and it's already difficult to establish and keep a connection due to the overuse of bandwidth. Or so I am assuming. Either way I want to do this discreetly.
I'm not sure how you expect to deal with this discretely this way?
You allowed them to use your WiFi. If all of a sudden it stops working on some devices but not all they are probably going to ask you about it. Are you going to tell them "Your Xbox is probably broken"? What if they get a new Xbox and it will "stop working" (be blocked by you) again?
The most discrete way I can think of is knocking at their door and tell them "Sorry guys, but you are using up all my bandwidth. I thought it was no big deal letting you use my WiFi but it is now. Regulate your use or I will have to deny you access".
Selectively blocking things and limiting bandwidth while telling them "sure, feel free to use my WiFi" that's just... bad blood.
You don't deal with something "discretely" (that would mean dealing with it one piece at a time), but "discreetly" (meaning quietly and unobtrusively.)
You can't block a single device at a time, unless you want to "kick" them (temporarily disconnect them) as needed, but you *can* set up a MAC access control list, so that only specific devices can connect via the MAC (Media Access Control) address through your router's control panel, via MAC Address Filtering.

I've been a fan of washi tape for absolute ages now, so I was super excited to hear that Francesca, is stocking them locally. Francesca dropped off a whole load for me to experiment with and as you can see I had great fun! This decorative, adhesive tape is perfect for making gift tags and cards and for adding some excitement to your gift wrapping. I used the tape to decorate three rather plain vases which gave them a pretty lift. The best thing about washi tape is that it tears easily, no need for scissors, and is removable. So you can decorate to your hearts content and when bored simply remove and replace with new coloured tape! As you can see from my photos, Francesca has some gorgeous designs, so do give her a shout if you'd like to order some! Scroll down to the bottom of my post for details.
Washi tapes can be ordered from Francesca. Email: [email protected]
One roll: R35.00 / Three rolls: R100.00 / For orders of 10 rolls or more, roll price drops to R30.00

text: I could not be more pleased with the treatment i received at the clinic in Krakow. My teeth were in a terrible state and i had forgotten how to smile, i was very embarrassed to open my mouth. The dentist very quickly and very professionally repaired all my teeth and gave me back my smile. Now icant stop looking in the mirror and smiling. Having the treatment in Krakow was the best choice i have ever made and it saved me a fortune, i was quoted £7.000 in this country but all i paid in the Krakow clinic was just under £3.000. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of having treatment abroad to chose the Krakow clinic its clean, professional, cheap and the dentist is stunning, which always helps. Once again thank you for everything
