text: I want to test the VOIP Telephony system installed in a IP PBX server behind a NAT router. This NAT router connects to a modem (with NAT as well), and then the modem (with static public IP assigned by the ISP, e.g. 220.127.116.11) directly connects to the Internet. There are several IP phones connect to the IP PBX server. The NAT router is configured as DHCP, and as a gateway (e.g. 192.168.3.1) also for the LAN (the NAT router, the IP PBX server and the IP phones consist this LAN). The IP PBX server and the IP phones all connect to the ports of the NAT router, and are with static local IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.3.10, 192.168.3.11, 192.168.3.12, 192.168.3.13 etc). This is the setup of the VOIP telephony system. I want to make inbound and outbound VOIP phone calls to test the VOIP telephony system. For security, I need to setup the firewall in the IP PBX server (192.168.3.10). But to make it simple as a start (and make it more and more complicated when the simple one works), I plan to just add very simple rules to accept all the incoming and outgoing traffics between Internet and the IP PBX server (192.168.3.10), and forward all the traffic from this IP PBX server (192.168.3.10) to the IP phones (192.168.3.11, 192.168.3.12, 192.168.3.13). The purpose to make the firewall in the IP PBX server as simple as possible is to avoid the possibility that the inappropriate configuration of the IP PBX server firewall lead to the VOIP phone calls failed (there are other reasons could make the VOIP phone calls failed also, e.g. the inappropriate configuration of IP PBX server and the inappropriate of IP phones ......), then I can narrow down the root cause to make the VOIP phone calls failed. Below is the simple firewall I want to setup in the IP PBX server, i.e. accept and incoming and outgoing traffics, and forward all traffics to IP phones, without specifying any source and destination IP addresses and ports. It is much appreciated if you can help to verify whether this simple firewall rules are ok for my purpose. #!/bin/sh # Wipe the tables clean iptables -F # INPUT SIDE iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT # Output side iptables -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT # FORWARD SIDE iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT

Yes, they were visual narrowing devices to slow traffic speeds (50kmh residential road), but the stupid thing is all the road crap, leaves, pine-needles, branches, pine-cones etc. gathers in the bike lane. Street sweepers cannot get in there so the bike-lane conditions become hazardous. I mostly ride just to the right of the white line. Now with the traffic tables it makes the road ride a bumpy one, and at one of the narrowing points, the bike lane is restricted to <120cm, just after a bend, with close roadside bushes

It's not a logo, it's the chalk outline of a deceased bicycle. It is meant as a warning.

From lawmakers to the media, guns have been getting a lot of negative attention lately, but that's only making them all the more popular, says a Pocono Summit auctioneer.
From lawmakers to the media, guns have been getting a lot of negative attention lately, but that's only making them all the more popular, says a Pocono Summit auctioneer.
"This stuff is like gold," Eric Hockman said surveying a table full of colorful ammunition boxes at his Pocono Auction Gallery.
With the re-election of President Barack Obama, "who makes it no secret he's in favor of tightening gun laws," and the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, people have been hoarding guns and ammunition in recent months, Hockman said.
"People are buying everything they can. The price of ammo has tripled," he said.
Gun owners are grabbing up ammunition because they fear potential regulations from the Obama administration will eventually make it difficult to purchase.
But ahead of more stringent regulations, it's this hoarding mentality that has recently made ammo difficult to find, Hockman said.
Higher caliber ammo, such as .45-caliber bullets, are especially in demand.
Six months ago, the average cost of such bullets might be about 20 cents per round. Today it's more like $1, Hockman said.
A 500-round "brick" of .22-caliber ammunition sold for about $15 last year. Now it's going for "between $70 to $200 in some markets," Hockman said.
With firearms fresh in the public's mind, he's anticipating a packed house at a gun action Saturday.
The majority of the auction stock, about 90 percent, comes from the estate of a private Monroe County collector, Hockman said.
He declined to say how many guns were included in the auction, but said the collector had "in excess of a hundred" firearms.
The collection includes an AK-47 rifle; the long, wood-handled "Springfield 03," a rifle most closely associated with the Spanish-American War; a variety of Smith & Wesson handguns; Luger pistols dating back to World War I and some rifles from the Revolutionary and Civil War periods.
"Some of these are such rare collector's items, you'd really have to scour around to find them," Hockman said.
From the outside, it might appear that such behavior is akin to hoarding, but Hockman called it "ambitious collecting."
The guns in this particular collection were very well cared for, and such a collection is obviously something acquired over a lifetime, he said.
The majority of people who attend gun auctions are sportsmen or collectors who travel, sometimes from several hours away, Hockman said.
A similar drive in gun sales was experienced when Obama was first elected, he said.
Hockman sold about 200 guns at a 2009 auction.
Saturday's auction will also include ammunition boxes and a collection of rare hunting knives. As interest in firearms continues to increase, Hockman believes gun auctions will continue to become more popular.
"I think there will be more and more of these collections coming on the horizon," he said.

Lord British! Richard Garriott himself, one of the first video game developers ever comes by to talk about his new game, "Shroud of the Avatar" and how the industry has changed in 40 odd years.

They aren't, but I know alot of graphics hoes who buy a game purely on how it looks and not how it plays... so you could say games with graphics are easier to sell than games with great game play. (Cod being the exception :). Funny even though game play owns graphics
Click on a PS4 thread and see how many comments raise the gameplay over graphics. You'll struggle to find one.
Gameplay is hugely important to a games longevity, once it's in the publics hands, when it matters. I've clocked more time on super meat boy than BF3. But initially you usually generate hype and interest through screens/videos (graphics).
Everyone likes to argue the gameplay > graphics argument, although if you track most gaming conversion these days, it's graphics graphics graphics.
The most important element in a game is the game play, no one wants a game that has bad controls, but at the same time we don't want all games to look like stick man drawings. Graphics or Story would come next. Depending on your taste. I know players who are instantly turned off by a game with mediocre graphics. Regardless of anything else. In other words what's really best for a game does not always reflect what the public wants and so If the public wants another BF game with better graphics. Who are you to tell them any different? Yes, there are those games that don't have mind-blowing graphics and are beloved, but at the end of the day it's bigger and better graphics that drive this industry. If not we'd still be playing 8-bit games.
Graphics show me the industry is moving. Gameplay usually defines the game itself which is why you see the same regurgitated stuff with better graphics year after year.
Simplifying the term isn't helping either... Graphics aren't limited to shiny surfaces and bumpmaps. It defines the whole art style of the game as well.

TACLOBAN, PHILIPPINES—The death toll from one of the strongest storms on record that ravaged the central Philippine city of Tacloban could reach 10,000 people, officials said Sunday after the extent of massive devastation became apparent and horrified residents spoke of storm surges as high as trees.
Regional police chief Elmer Soria said he was briefed by Leyte provincial Gov. Dominic Petilla late Saturday and was told there were about 10,000 deaths on the island, mostly by drowning and from collapsed buildings. The governor's figure was based on reports from village officials in areas where Typhoon Haiyan slammed on Friday.
Tacloban city administrator Tecson Lim said that the death toll in the city alone "could go up to 10,000."
About 300 to 400 bodies have already been recovered, Lim said.
The typhoon barrelled through six central Philippine islands on Friday, wiping away buildings and levelling seaside homes. Most of the deaths and destruction were on Leyte Island, where Tacloban is located.
About 70 to 80 per cent of the area in the path of Haiyan in Leyte province was destroyed, Soria said.
The giant storm was forecast to hit central Vietnam's coast Sunday afternoon.

After arriving in Tacloban on Saturday, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said it was too early to know how many people had died in the storm, which was heading toward Vietnam after moving away from the Philippines.
"The rescue operation is ongoing. We expect a very high number of fatalities as well as injured," Roxas said. "All systems, all vestiges of modern living — communications, power, water — all are down. Media is down, so there is no way to communicate with the people in a mass sort of way."
President Benigno Aquino III said the casualties "will be substantially more," but gave no figure or estimate. He said the government's priority was to restore power and communications in isolated areas to allow for the delivery of relief and medical assistance to victims.
The Philippine Red Cross and its partners were preparing for a major relief effort "because of the magnitude of the disaster," said the agency's chairman, Richard Gordon.
The airport in Tacloban, a city of 200,000 located about 580 kilometres southeast of Manila, looked like a muddy wasteland of debris Saturday, with crumpled tin roofs and upturned cars. The airport tower's glass windows were shattered, and air force helicopters were busy flying in and out at the start of relief operations.
"The devastation is — don't have the words for it," Roxas said. "It's really horrific. It's a great human tragedy."
Defence Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said Aquino was "speechless" when he told him of the devastation the typhoon had wrought in Tacloban.
"I told him all systems are down," Gazmin said. "There is no power, no water, nothing. People are desperate. They're looting."
U.S. Marine Col. Mike Wylie surveyed the damage in Tacloban prior to possible American assistance. "The storm surge came in fairly high and there is significant structural damage and trees blown over," said Wylie, who is a member of the U.S.-Philippines Military Assistance Group based in Manila.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that America "stands ready to help."
Tacloban is near the Red Beach on Leyte Island where U.S. general Douglas MacArthur waded ashore on Oct. 20, 1944, fulfilling his famous pledge, "I shall return," made in March 1942 after president Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered him to relocate to Australia as Japanese forces pushed back U.S. and Filipino defenders.
Tacloban was the first city to be liberated by U.S. and Filipino forces and served as the Philippines' temporary capital for several months. It is also the home town of former Filipino first lady Imelda Marcos, whose nephew, Alfred Romualdez, is the city's mayor.
The president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, said in a message to Aquino that the EC had sent a team to assist the Philippine authorities and that "we stand ready to contribute with urgent relief and assistance if so required in this hour of need."
Weather officials said Haiyan had sustained winds of 235 km/h with gusts of 275 of km/h when it made landfall. By those measurements, Haiyan would be comparable to a strong Category 4 hurricane in the U.S., and nearly in the top category, a 5.
Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are the same, but have different names in different parts of the world.
One Tacloban resident said he and others took refuge inside a parked Jeep to protect themselves from the storm, but the vehicle was swept away by a surging wall of water.
"The water was as high as a coconut tree," said 44-year-old Sandy Torotoro, a bicycle taxi driver who lives near the airport with his wife and 8-year-old daughter. "I got out of the Jeep and I was swept away by the rampaging water with logs, trees and our house, which was ripped off from its mooring."
"When we were being swept by the water, many people were floating and raising their hands and yelling for help. But what can we do? We also needed to be helped," Torotoro said.
In Torotoro's village, bodies could be seen lying along the muddy main road, as residents who had lost their homes huddled, holding on to the few things they had managed to save. The road was lined with trees that had fallen to the ground.
Vice-Mayor Jim Pe of Coron town on Busuanga, the last island battered by the typhoon before it blew away to the South China Sea, said most of the houses and buildings there had been destroyed or damaged. Five people drowned in the storm surge and three others were missing, he said by phone.
"It was like a 747 flying just above my roof," he said, describing the sound of the winds. He said his family and some of his neighbours whose houses were destroyed took shelter in his basement.
Philippine broadcaster ABS-CBN showed fierce winds whipping buildings and vehicles as storm surges swamped Tacloban with debris-laden floodwaters.
In the aftermath of the storm, people were seen weeping while retrieving bodies of loved ones inside buildings and on a street that was littered with fallen trees, roofing material and other building parts torn off in the typhoon's fury. All that was left of one large building whose walls were smashed in were the skeletal remains of its rafters.
Many packed evacuation centres collapsed in Tacloban as the typhoon raged, a police official said. He said he saw a popular mall being looted Saturday by residents who carted away anything they could lay their hands on, including a flat-screen TV, a small refrigerator, food items, clothes and even a Christmas tree. Smaller shops with guards brandishing their pistols were spared, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters.
ABS-CBN television anchor Ted Failon, who was able to report only briefly Friday from Tacloban, said the storm surge was "like the tsunami in Japan."
"The sea engulfed Tacloban," he said, explaining that a major part of the city is surrounded on three sides by the waters between Leyte and Samar islands.
The Philippine television station GMA reported that its news team saw 11 bodies, including that of a child, washed ashore Friday and 20 more bodies at a pier in Tacloban hours after the typhoon ripped through the coastal city.
At least 20 more bodies were taken to a church in nearby Palo town that was used as an evacuation centre but had to be abandoned when its roofs were blown away, the TV network reported. TV images showed howling winds peeling off tin roof sheets during heavy rain.
Ferocious winds felled large branches and snapped coconut trees. A man was shown carrying the body of his 6-year-old daughter who had drowned, and another image showed vehicles piled up in debris.
Nearly 800,000 people were forced to flee their homes and damage was believed to be extensive. About 4 million people were affected by the typhoon, the national disaster agency said.
Relief workers said they were struggling to find ways to deliver food and other supplies, with roads blocked by landslides and fallen trees.
Tim Ticar, a local tourism officer, said 6,000 foreign and local tourists were stranded on the popular resort island of Boracay, one of the tourist spots in the typhoon's path.
The storm's sustained winds weakened Saturday to 163 km/h with stronger gusts as it blew farther away from the Philippines toward Vietnam.
Haiyan was expected to hit Vietnam's coast, making its way to the northern part of the country before likely weakening to a tropical storm.
Vietnamese authorities in four central provinces were evacuating more than 500,000 people from high-risk areas to government buildings, schools and other concrete homes able to withstand strong winds.
"The evacuation is being conducted with urgency," disaster official Nguyen Thi Yen Linh said from central Danang City, where some 76,000 were being moved to safety.
Hundreds of thousands of others were being taken to shelters in the provinces of Quang Ngai, Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue. Schools were closed and two deputy prime ministers were sent to the region to direct the preparations.

Just as happened last year, AC Milan bowed out of the Coppa Italia at Juventus Stadium on a Wednesday night. But rather than it come as another kick in the teeth for a club struggling to emulate the successes of seasons past, this defeat at least came with a few glimmers of hope for the future.
The 2-1 reverse to Juventus came as no surprise, but it would be fair for the Rossoneri looking on to claim they had shown more than enough to have perhaps taken the game to penalties at the very least. And whereas you may expect that it would be some of the senior heads carrying the fight for Massimiliano Allegri's foundering force, it was the young guns who once again gave Milan the drive that has often been missing from their more experienced team-mates this term.
Whilst the likes of Philippe Mexes, Massimo Ambrosini, Marco Amelia, Giampaolo Pazzini and Kevin-Prince Boateng continue to fall short of the mark, it is the very players who you'd expect to be lagging behind who are giving Milanisti cause for hope. Allegri asked for patience after the match, pointing to the presence of three youngsters in the forward line in extra time as an example of where Milan are right now, but in truth it is they who did the talking for him.
With Stephan El Shaarawy (20), Bojan Krkic (22) and M'Baye Niang (18) leading from the front, and Mattia De Sciglio (20) providing another solid show at full-back, Milan's future appears brighter than their current league position would suggest. Last season, the team was packed with old legs, now it is littered with hope.
|NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK | Milan's fab four
El Shaarawy took advantage of an early lapse by Leonardo Bonucci, who had let Boateng bypass him completely, to give the Rossoneri an early lead, chalking up his 17th goal of the campaign in the process. But if Il Faraone's talent has been well-documented thanks to his goalscoring feats, De Sciglio's has been somewhat glossed over. The young full-back may not have an explosive presence in attack, but he can certainly cross a ball when given the opportunity to do so, and defensively he has been as assured as any Milan defender since the day Thiago Silva limped off against Roma in March last year, never to be seen in red and black again.
Bojan has been unlucky of late, with an impressive run in October and November curtailed by further assignments from the bench, but he once again impressed after replacing Pazzini, adding to recent goals against Roma and Siena with a dynamic display which proved once more that he has a dimension which few others in the squad can provide. Revelling in the freedom of a cavalier role, the ex-Barcelona man is still just 22, and could well suit the Diavolo's set-up in the longer term.
Niang, meanwhile, has been the most closely-guarded secret of Milan's young guns since arriving from Caen in the summer, with his off-the-field driving rap earning him more headlines than his football until recently. But after his goal in the previous round against Reggina, the French forward added an excellent display off the bench, with just a slight lack of composure in front of goal letting him down. His vast skill set, excellent drive, lightning turn of pace and clever brain combine to give Allegri plenty of options in how and where to best use him.
With the likes of El Shaarawy and Niang as potential long-term pillars in the strike force, the likely addition of Mario Balotelli – whatever Silvio Berlusconi says, it is bound to happen sooner or later – would leave Milan with three young forwards on whom to base their future around. Add in Bojan as a possible fourth option, and that locks in one department for the foreseeable. Then, it is just a case of finding the right ingredients elsewhere.
And for as long as they can keep finding sturdy individuals such as De Sciglio elsewhere in the line-up, that takes away some of their headaches, allows them the possibility to seriously consider bids for their under-performing first-teamers (if Zenit St Petersburg are really offering €10 million for Ignazio Abate, who was poor again on Wednesday, they should snap their hands off) and gives a much rosier outlook for the seasons ahead.
If Allegri can just get the rest of his team working as a cohesive unit on the training ground, then Milan can surely have a decent run-in during the second half of the Serie A season. Their young stars certainly deserve the support of their more senior team-mates as they attempt to drag the club back off its knees and make an impression on a league that nobody outside of Juventus has really taken by storm so far.Follow Kris Voakes on

NOW there's a funny thing. The bloke standing over by the Sydney domestic airport escalator looks like Bobby Simpson, talks like Bobby Simpson, looks you in the eye like Bobby Simpson and is ... Sir Jack Brabham.
And pleased to meet you, too, Sir Jack. Where can we go to chat?
For a 68-year-old with a whole lifetime spent living on the edge, racing cars to their very extremes and beyond, he looks pretty good. With a substantially unlined face atop blue blazer and slacks, he comes across as the very picture of sleek affluence and it seems the only sign of age is - "Excuse me, what did you just say?" - that he wears hearing aids in both ears.
"See, when I was racing," he says in the first-class lounge a short time later, "we didn't have helmets that covered our ears, so your ears were always filled with the roar of the engines. In my day it was all a lot different."
In his day, too, he was the most famous Australian on two legs. These days he moves fairly anonymously, as others have moved on to centre stage. Even as we speak, I could, if I wish, throw a biscuit into Kate Ceberano's coffee, or wave at Campbell McComas, who has just walked in, or, even better, trip up the passing David Campese - and each of these people is attracting his or her fair share of attention from other awaiting passengers.
For Sir Jack, though, nothing. His name remains famous, of course, but the face not particularly.
"I don't care at all if people know me or don't know me," he says flatly. "What does it matter at all? I'm happy with what I've done and have no particular desire for recognition."
All said in the manner of one who has known fame so well in his time that he refuses to be any further impressed by it, one way or another.
He came to motor-racing fame by a fairly circuitous route - as most race-drivers do, of course - but his was more circuitous than most. The son of a Hurstville greengrocer, he first got behind the wheel of his father's delivery van when he was 12 years old, and liked it well enough, but was not absolutely gripped by it.
"Dad would let me drive the van when I was young, around places where there were no police, off-road and that sort of thing, but it wasn't anything that I got carried away with."
What he was carried away with was fooling around with engines and the like: "When I first left school all I really wanted to be was a mechanic."
THINGS changed, though. Slowly, slowly. When he was about 20 and actually working as a mechanic, a bloke moved in round the corner from them. Johnny Schomberg was an American who'd married an Australian woman, had done a lot of racing in America and was looking to do the same out here. Would young Jack like to help out in rigging up a car to go fast and then double up as a kind of pit crew?
Would he ever.
Together, through that summer of '47, they worked on this old car that Schomberg had bought for the purpose, with Jack stripping it down, building it back up, stripping it down some more, and rejigging it all the way.
Finally the Sydney race season started - on the speedway dirt at Parramatta, the Showground and the Sportsground - and they could get to it.
Things went pretty well. Jack liked fooling around with engines as much as ever, liked being at the race track, liked the whole scene without ever really dreaming of doing any of the driving himself.
One day, however, Schomberg came up to him a bit down in the mouth and said he was going to have to give it away, that his wife had given him the word that she'd had enough of it, that he wasn't going to be able to race the car any more and he was
going to have to stay home ...
"I looked at the car," Sir Jack recalls, "and thought, 'what am I going to do with the car now?' "
He did the obvious. And entered a race the following Saturday as a race driver, out at Parramatta-Speedway-be-there |
Jack was there, and did all right. Came fourth. Entered for the next Saturday night. Came second.
Schomberg gave him lessons between times, out on some mudflats at Tempe, and he got better. On his third Saturday night race out at Parramatta, be damned if he didn't win | Then he entered a full race card out at the Sydney Showground and had three wins in the one night.
His car-racing career proper had begun ...
Again, it seems odd to connect this sleek fellow before me with the young tearaway who went on to be the NSW speedway champion from 1948 to 1951, but that is, after all, several centuries ago in terms of what has happened since
In 1955 he headed off to Europe to get some international experience, again doing well to sweep pretty much all before him. Why was that so, Sir Jack?
"Well you've got to remember that back then the cars were a lot more fragile than they are today, and I always took the attitude that while you've got to have confidence in what you're doing, and your own skill, you've also got to get the car to the finish line, so you had to nurse them as much as possible, and my background in mechanics helped me very much there. I always knew the limits of my car and wouldn't try to always smash through those limits."
BY the second half of the 1958 racing season he had finally made it up to Formula One, and began the 1959 season with some crucial experience under his belt. Now in the big time, he felt good, felt confident, and had a good car to compete with - "a Cooper car with a 2 1/2-litre Coventry Climax engine in the rear" - whatever that means. The third grand prix of the season was at Monaco. Other competitors had concentrated, as always, on getting maximum power from their cars, but on the twistiest, turniest racetrack in all the world, Brabham had more sensibly focused on gearing the chassis and steering so the car would get faster through the turns. The result?
"Princess Grace was young and beautiful," Sir Jack recalls, rather softly, "and she was the one who gave me the winner's trophy. I had always been a sort of a fan of hers and it was a great pleasure to meet her."
Was Prince Rainier there, too?
"Who ...? Oh yes, he was right there, watching me."
More wins followed for Brabham in quick succession and by the end of the year it came down to the last Formula One race of the season, at Sebring in Florida, to determine who would be world champion. From the fall of the flag to begin the race, no fewer than four drivers were in contention, depending on their result in the race, and ...
And racing now | Right from the first lap our Jack kept the hammer down and moved into a forward position, pressing all the way, while still trying to take care of his car.
"That was a race where we had really got our act together - where the car, the engine, the gearbox all came together at the same time and it was all just right for going fast for the whole race."
So he did. Kept going like the hammers of hell, until with only one lap to go he was a clear lap ahead of the driver coming second.
Four hundred metres out, Brabham knew he had it won, (putt putt) knew he'd take the chequered flag, (putt putt putt) knew he would be the new heavyweight "champeen" driver in all the world, (putt putt putt putt) knew THAT HE'D RUN OUT OF PETROL.
"I just couldn't believe it," he recalls. "But I was still hoping that I'd have enough momentum to get over the line, because I was moving at a fair clip."
Closer now. Three hundred metres, 200, 100, 80, almost stopped now, 60, 50... STOP.
WITH the world driving championship now hanging in the balance and his principal rivals roaring up one lap behind him at the rate of some 260 km/h, Jack Brabham did what he had to do.
He got out and pushed.
Other cars were still roaring past, of course, and the wind they created was enough to wobble him on his pins, even as he strained his way forward, but he kept going. Onwards, ever onwards.
With only 10 metres to go Brabham had enough momentum up that the main thing was just to keep steering it straight and out of the way of the continually roaring cars. But the man with the chequered flag had his number all the same - and dropped it, at pretty much the same time as Brabham himself dropped on the tarmac over the finish line.
Making like the Pope after a long flight on a shonky airline, Brabham lay prone in exhaustion on the track for as long as 10 seconds, but was soon lifted to his feet by a cheering crowd clamouring around him and slapping him on the back. Eyes right and all hail the new Formula One driving champion of all the world.
"It was a great thrill," says Sir Jack now. "Of course it was."
And there was more to come.
The following year he won again. Back-to-back world championships, and Bob's your uncle. The name "Jack Brabham" was now synonymous with racing speed. On his occasional returns to Australia the airport would be packed with people wanting to catch just a glimpse of him. Yet while the classic image of being world driving champion usually turns on being with a lot of equally fast women, amid drinking lots of wine and singing lots of songs etc, etc, that was not the way Sir Jack remembers his own experience.
"Basically, I think I always had my head under the bonnet all the time I was world champion. I was too busy getting everything right to worry about all the rest of that sort of stuff and I just kept working away at it. I spent every hour I could on it, and the social side of things got pushed to the side."
A serious man, our Jack, and very committed to the task at hand.
So much so that America's first Formula One world champion, Phil Hill, was recently quoted in a column by the Herald's motoring editor Alan Kennedy, confiding that Jack Brabham was far from being the most popular member of the tour.
"God we hated him when he first arrived," Hill said. "He was so serious, so determined to win. He brought a level of intensity to the sport that hadn't been there before."
Your thoughts, Sir Jack?
"I was brought up in a different school from the other drivers. Here in Sydney, I was brought up on the speedway dirt racing, did hill climbing and road racing and it was a different, tougher sort of background to what they had come from. I guess they didn't like the way I approached things."
AT the end of the 1961 season, where he failed to "three-peat" as world champion, Brabham decided to take a different tack.
"We decided to venture out to build our own company to build and manufacture our own cars, with me still racing them. It was called Motor Racing Developments, we based it in England, and it took a while for us to really get it off the ground, but bit by bit it started to come good and I started winning again, racing my own car."
Well enough that in 1966 he achieved what he considers his greatest triumph, when he won four Formula One races in a row, on the way to becoming world champion for the third time. In a car of his own manufacture - the only time any driver has achieved the feat.
"The great thing was that it was such an Australian effort. Repco built us the engine in Melbourne, we had an Australian designer in Ron Tauranac, all the mechanics were Australians, and it was a really great thrill."
Not to mention his own effort. Having a Brabham car win the world championship did wonders for their manufacturing concern and Motor Racing Development prospered, selling 80 or 90 cars a year around the world at its height.
All up it wasn't a bad story, this rise from driving his father's delivery van to being three-time world champion and successful manufacturer of his own racing cars, and in 1972 the full story was written, a biography entitled When The Flag Drops.
"They actually didn't let me put in the full title of that book."
And what pray tell, was that?
"When The Flag Drops, The Bullshit Stops."
Haw, haw, haw. But on a more serious note, Sir Jack really means it:
"IT used to be like ... that when you were behind the wheel and the flag drops you were really on your own and your whole world was like focused on just winning the race. Everything else was forgotten and I used to just love it."
These days, his life seems to be busy.
He is "near enough to divorced" from the woman he married in 1961, though his family life remains full in keeping track of his three successful race-driving sons and giving them all the benefit of his own racing expertise
Most of the year he lives in Britain, where his business interests remain centred, but he returns to his Sylvania home every Australian summer, still goes in the odd rally race here and there and - "would all passengers for the Qantas flight to Melbourne now board please" - and that'll be your flight now, Sir Jack.
"My what?"
Your flight. Those damn early model helmets have got a lot to answer for, but what the hey. With three world championships to his credit, it's only fair that he has a few enduring souvenirs other than the trophies.

This is my favorite time of year. The frosty mornings and early nightfall naturally bring folks closer to hearth and home. This Thanksgiving finds us at Gordon's sister's home in Ohio, where extended family shares food, fun, and photos from the intervening months since last we met. Then there are the marathon video games while others moan and groan over their favorite football team's latest antics.
All too quickly, we'll pack up and leave for Christmas with the grandchildren out west. They've told me there are already several inches of snow on the ground. Thank heavens I can keep busy in the kitchen frosting cookies and heating up spiced apple juice to warm tiny hands chilled from an afternoon of sledding.
I am so THANKFUL my daughters make it easy for me to be a gramma. When I call to speak with one of the kids, I'll hear their mothers say "Guess what?! Gramma's on the phone! She wants to talk with you!" With an introduction like that, who needs Ed McMahon?
THANK heavens Carrie has continued to recover from her car accident. Here's a pic of the Keele family after Taylor had completed his half-marathon in the central Utah desert.
The Warnick family has grown by leaps and bounds this past year. I don't know how Stacey and Steve keep up with four active boys.
In case you can't tell, Tammy has excelled as a Master Gardner, and this year her writing career has really taken off. She and Jeff love to fish and enjoy the outdoors. Aren't they a cute couple?
Mr. Myrt and I have had a ball crisscrossing the country, doing that on-site genealogy research in libraries and courthouses where microfilming or digitizing crews haven't yet done their thing.
I am thankful for a genealogist husband -- someone who understands why we need to scan Elsie's WWII letters and photos; who helps order manuscript files at the state historical society; and who totally gets that traipsing through an old cemetery is the perfect way to spend a late summer afternoon.
Here we are at the Cozy Inn, a teeny, tiny hamburger joint in Salina, Kansas. People come in and order 36 and 48 of the mini-burgers to go. (We can barely manage 5 between the two of us!) There are perhaps six bar stools at the counter, and the entire thing would fit in a single-wide trailer.
My mind can just imagine my Salina ancestors stopping by back in the 1920s. The owner says the cabinets are original to the facility. I remember Grandma Myrtle's house in Puyallup, Washington had painted wood cabinets like this with those metal twist latches on the lower doors. The upper doors had clear glass insets, with small clear glass knobs.
My plan in the coming months is to show gratitude every day ~ gratitude for health and strength, the love of family, the joy of friendship, and all sorts of tools and resources for discovering more about our ancestors.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
Your friend in genealogy.

Clubfoot is when the foot turns inward and downward. It is a congenital condition, which means it is present at birth.
Alternative Names
Talipes equinovarus; Talipes
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Clubfoot is the most common congenital disorder of the legs. It can range from mild and flexible to severe and rigid.
The cause is not known, but the condition may be passed down through families in some cases. Risk factors include a family history of the disorder and being male. The condition occurs in about 1 out of every 1,000 live births.
The physical appearance of the foot may vary. One or both feet may be affected.
The foot turns inward and downward at birth, and is difficult to place in the correct position. The calf muscle and foot may be slightly smaller than normal.
Signs and tests
The disorder is identified during a physical examination. A foot x-ray may be done.
Treatment may involve moving the foot into the correct position and using a cast to keep it there. This is often done by an orthopedic specialist. Treatment should be started as early as possible -- ideally, shortly after birth -- when it is easiest toreshape the foot.
Gentle stretching and recastingwill be doneevery week to improve the position of the foot. Generally, five to 10 casts are needed. The final castwill stayin place for 3 weeks. After the foot is in the correct position, the child will wear a special brace nearly full time for 3 months. Then, the child will wear the brace at night and during naps for up to 3 years.
Often, the problem is a tightened Achilles tendon, and a simple procedure is needed to release it.
Some severe cases of clubfoot willneed surgery if other treatments do not work, or if the problem returns. The child should be monitored by ahealth care provideruntil the foot is fully grown. See:
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome is usually good with treatment.
Some defects may not be completely fixed. However, treatment can improve the appearance and function of the foot. Treatment may be less successful if the clubfoot is linked to other birth disorders.
Calling your health care provider
If your child is being treated for clubfoot, call your health care provider if:
- The toes swell, bleed, or change color under the cast
- The cast appears to be causing significant pain
- The toes disappear into the cast
- The cast slides off
- The foot begins to turn in again after treatment

Romanov Autumn: Stories from the Last Century of Imperial Russia
Sutton, 2000 - Biography & Autobiography - 287 pages
There is a continuing fascination with the Romanov dynasty that ruled Russia for over 300 years. Charlotte Zeepvat seeks to widen the picture by looking at the lives of members of the family during the last century of imperial rule, a time of contrasts and a period in which the Tsars reached the peak of their wealth, prestige and power, yet also faced the growth of forces which would destroy them. Zeepvat's subjects are the first Nicholas and Alexandra who ruled 100 years before the Revolution; Alexander II; Alexander III; and on to the last Tsar, Nicholas II. The book also looks at the lives of their sisters and brothers, revealing the detail of their daily lives in the palaces which were their homes including Gatchina, Ilinskoie and Alexander Palace, all visited by the author in her role as a tour-leader. Illustrated with her own drawings and photographs, the text provides a wealth of information for anyone interested in the tragic history of the Russian Imperial family.

The Animal Control Division of the Lincoln Lancaster County Health Department urges the public to take steps to protect pets during hot and humid weather, especially if they are kept outside. Overweight, young and older pets are at greater risk for heat-related stress. Dogs with stub or shorter muzzles can't pant very well, which is an important function to help pets cool down.
Recommendations for keeping your pet cool include the following:
If your pet gets overheated, bring the temperature down by soaking the animal in cool water and seek veterinary care. Warning signs include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rates, seizures, vomiting, collapsing or lethargic behavior.
More information on animal ownership is available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: animal control) or by calling 402-441-7900.

Lest you think I'm being a tease, flaunting those savory, mouth-watering cheddar Sheese scones, wipe up that drool off the keyboard and turn on your oven, because the recipe is coming right up!
These cheesy biscuits are so versatile, after you make them the first time, you won't know how you ever assembled a meal without them. So unbelievably buttery, especially for a vegan creation, you won't need any sort of additional spreads or fixings to enjoy them. Perfect for breakfast, tea time, or along side a hearty main course for dinner, I would be hard pressed to find a time that these wouldn't be appropriate. Make a single batch to satisfy your own cravings, but be prepared to mix up more if friends should appear! Left unguarded, every last scone will be gone before you know it; Trust me, I know from experience.
Cheddar Sheese Scones
1 Cup AP Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar
1/4 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup Margarine
1 Cup Grated Cheddar-Style Sheese [or any other solid vegan "cheese"]
1/3 – 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Soymilk
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Sift all of the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the margarine into your flour mixture until it begins to come together as coarse crumbs. Fold in the Sheese using a large spatula, trying not to press or agitate the dough but simply move it in order to integrate the "cheese." Depending on how dry your atmosphere is you may need more or less liquid, so pour in just enough soymilk for the mixture to form a cohesive dough.
Turn the dough out of your bowl onto a silpat- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Pat it into a circle, and cut into 6 equal triangles. Separate the triangles slightly, but if you don't want to bother, it's not completely necessary – Just be prepared to cut them apart after they've expanded some from baking.
Keep a keen eye on your scones, looking for the edges to just begin to turn golden brown before pulling them out of the oven. Bake for approximately 12 – 18 minutes, and let them cool on the sheet afterwards.
I highly suggest splitting them in half and giving them just a moment to warm them in the toaster oven before serving, because nothing says delicious like a hot, toasty Sheese scone.

Bum-off-the-street vocalization meets Barbie doll articulation in Test Drive Unlimited 2's shamble of a narrative, ostensibly meant to draw players into the romantic notion of being a pampered, jet-set dick. Instead, the often unskippable storyline offers little more than a reason to mash the mute button, opportunities for embarrassment when passersby take note of the sorry-ass scenes, and the sinking feeling that developer Eden Games doesn't actually understand its audience. Like, not even a little bit. Read More »

Lots of them, really.
For today though, I'll just focus on the Disneyland perk, otherwise known as,
Our annual passes expire this month and so in order to get the most out of our Magic Kingdom passes we took the kidlets out of school and braved the crowds that ALWAYS SEEM TO BE present there.
We lucked out and the crowds were not the crowded I-just-want-to-get-out-of-here type of crowds. Of course there were lots of people, but nothing like every other day we've gone to Disneyland this past year and wanted to pull our hair out in frustration because it was so densely packed with people.
We had SUCH a nice time.......

Zimmerer, Team Jack Elevate Maxwell Awards
Randy York's N-Sider
Atlantic City, New Jersey – Last weekend's 77th presentation of the Maxwell Club Awards Gala, America's oldest football awards program of its kind, drew a sellout crowd of 1,300 at Revel Resorts. The top collegiate winners were all there, including Alabama Quarterback AJ McCarron (National Player of the Year), Pitt Defensive Tackle Aaron Donald (Bednarik Award) and Duke Coach David Cutlcliffe (National Coach of the Year). But make no mistake. McCarron, Donald and Cutcliffe were just as touched as anyone who watched an inspiring video about Jack Hoffman and Team Jack. When the video ended, former Nebraska fullback C.J. Zimmerer, now a full-time probation officer in Omaha, stepped to the podium to accept his 2014 Rare Disease Champion Award from the Uplifting Athletes organization. If there was any doubt about how well an award like the one that Rex Burkhead and C.J. Zimmerer have both won, would fit into a banquet that honors the best in football at all levels, it ended in Atlantic City. "I've been fortunate to serve the Maxwell Club as president for almost 20 years now, and C.J.'s award shows how much our Board of Directors really cares about the game of football and every single thing that we do with football as coaches and administrators," Ron Jaworski said. "We look at this award as another way to express ourselves as a committee, as a group of people and as the oldest football club in America. Very simply, the Uplifting Athletes Award shows how much we love the people who are involved in the game. There are amazing and wonderful things happening in football, and when you explore and find something like this, it makes you feel good. I personally believe people like to go behind the scenes to see what's there because they know it comes straight from the heart."
Alabama Quarterback Became Team Jack Fan
McCarron, who has led Alabama to two National Championships, could not have agreed more with Jaworski, who once led the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl before becoming one of the most popular and knowledgeable analysts covering the NFL. "I've seen Team Jack, and I think it's just awesome there's an award in college football for something like that," McCarron said. "Everybody tells you that football is life, but it's not. It's smaller than life, and experiences like that help you realize every day how important it is to help someone else." McCarron fits that role. "Things like Team Jack make you realize what a blessing football really is," he said. "It definitely puts things into perspective for me. Football gets plenty of credit everywhere you look, but I think stories like that need to be shared a lot more than they are because a lot of teams are getting what life is all about. With the world we live in now, we just need more exposure for these things that uplift us all." Tony McCarron, AJ's dad, was not surprised to hear his son's support of Team Jack because AJ experienced several special bonds of his own with kids who appreciate him like Jack looks up to Burkhead and Zimmerer. "Football is an important part of AJ's life, but it does not define his life," his dad said. "He is much more than a football player."
Uplifting Athletes Leader Praises C.J. Zimmerer
Scott Shirley, the Executive Director of Uplifting Athletes, could not buy the exposure that Team Jack showcased at the Maxell Club Awards Gala or what was communicated to a live national audience on ESPN3.com. Zimmerer has the credentials to make an impact wherever he goes and whatever he does. He was the first President of Nebraska's Chapter of Uplifting Athletes. He's also a member of the American Football Coaches Association's Good Works Team that was honored at the 2014 Sugar Bowl, plus a second-team Academic All-American and the lead blocker for NU All-America running back Ameer Abdullah. That's an impressive resume, but Shirley says the intangibles are what make Zimmerer such an effective yet quiet leader. "C.J. continues a strong tradition of selfless service to others by using his platform as a college player to expand and promote the mission of inspiring the rare disease community with hope," Shirley said, adding that Zimmerer is a true case of the spotlight finding someone who had no desire to be on a big stage. Whether reluctant or willing, the entire Uplifting Athletes organization believes C.J. showed Nebraska and the rest of the country how an individual can handle those bright-lights moments as the true measure of their character.
Pitt Lineman, Duke Coach Endorse Team Jack
Pitt's Aaron Donald, who came to Omaha last December to receive the Outland Trophy before accepting his Maxell Trophy last weekend, was among those touched with Team Jack and C.J. Zimmerer. "I came to Pitt to develop into a better person," Donald said. "I enjoyed getting better as a player, but it's about more than that. It's about your brothers. I like how a little kid can inspire your whole team. The players are all trying to help the kid, and he ends up inspiring them. That's a big thing in college football." Big enough that both Pitt and Duke are among NCAA schools working with the Uplifting Athletes organization to start their own chapters and join seven Big Ten Conference schools, along with others that include Notre Dame and Florida State. Cutcliffe, one of the closest friends of football's fabled Manning family, was glad to hear that his school was exploring an Uplifting Athletes chapter. "I would certainly be open to that," he said. "We do a lot of work with Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House, so Uplifting Athletes would be a perfect fit for us. I think Ron Jaworski said it best when he said the Maxwell Club is totally committed to the game of football from the ground up. The Maxwell Club celebrates the ultimate accomplishments of football, and what C.J. and Nebraska have done really elevates the game. To me, C.J. is truly celebrating the game and the experience and what's right about football. I'm sure his family and his parents have played a strong part of who he is. College players also get a lot of mentoring and get involved with a lot of partnerships that move them in the right direction, and it's not just the coaches. People forget the great support groups that support college athletes and help them really understand what it takes to do what C.J. and his teammates have done. He's a great example of a selfless player. Being a fullback is the closest you can get to being an offensive lineman, who always puts others first. Fortunately, all of us around the country get to see C.J.'s competitive level at Nebraska, and we also get to see him in another incredible experience like this."
Four Cornerstones of Support Strengthened C.J.
C.J. Zimmerer knows his four cornerstones at Nebraska – 1) head coach Bo Pelini and his staff; 2) Senior associate Academic AD Dennis Leblanc and his staff and Life Skills associate AD Keith Zimmer and his staff; 3) all of the other important areas of the Athletic Department, including medical and nutrition staffs that allowed him to play at the Division I level despite having Type 1 Diabetes; and 4) his family and Kim, his fiance. At Nebraska, life and football have moved so fast that Zimmerer hasn't really taken a strategic snapshot of his overall experience until he saw his role in Uplifting Athletes and how it is woven into the fabric of America's oldest football awards. Last weekend in Atlantic City, Zimmerer got to meet and was honored alongside such luminaries as Peyton Manning (NFL Player of the Year), Chip Kelly (NFL Coach of the Year), and Mike Ditka (NFL Broadcaster of the Year). Imagine 1,300 people at Revel Resorts, one of America's premier properties that hosted the 77th consecutive presentation of the Maxwell Awards Gala. Everyone showed up, even though no award recipient received an honorarium. Believe it or not, it was a fast-moving four-hour banquet because the nation's oldest football club has perfected the art that honors the game of football like no one else. More than three quarters of a century experience helps the Maxwell Club move the chains with the precision of Manning, who shared his wisdom wearing a tuxedo instead of shoulder pads. Mark Herzlick, a former Boston College and current New York Giant linebacker, presented the Uplifting Athletes Award to Zimmerer. A cancer survivor, Herzlick's likeness is the inspiration for the trophy.
Husker Team, Hoffman Family Inspire Each Other
"You don't really understand what it all means until you see a club that's been around for 77 years and how they honor the spirit of the game," Zimmerer said. "It was just such a great honor being around all of these people. Growing up in Nebraska, I never would have even dreamed having an experience like this one. There were so many great people and so many legendary names. It's just such an honor to be a part of it. I was very humbled and happy to represent Team Jack and all my teammates and the love we had and still have for Jack Hoffman, his dad, Andy, and their whole family. They've motivated us every bit as much as we've motivated him. Uplifting Athletes is a great organization. I think it was great for Nebraska Football to get into it on the ground floor and become part of something that will really help kids from all over with pediatric brain cancer. Awareness is a huge thing, and I think that's why Uplifting Athletes is so important to the cause. We're a young organization, but we're trying to spread that awareness to all four corners of the United States. We want to welcome every new Uplifting Athletes chapter that will take on and tackle any rare disease that means the most to them. Once people take notice and get involved, they can do the same good things we've done and continue to do."
The Future: More Chapters of Uplifting Athletes
To this day, a quiet, selfless Omaha probation officer can't believe his teammates selected him to be the president of Nebraska's chapter of Uplifting Athletes. "I didn't know where to turn or what to do, but I was excited to take it all on," he said. "I had a big learning curve and great experience. I grew up a lot working with all of these different organizations. The experience is already helping me in the career that I chose – to help kids who have made mistakes but can still turn their lives around. I just want to thank all my teammates and everyone who's been involved with Team Jack at all the different levels. The cause and the awareness have gone across the country and around the world. But none of it would have been possible without the guidance of Uplifting Athletes. It is one incredible organization, and I can see the day when almost every school in the country has a chapter because it teaches you more about life than you ever thought possible."
