Bernard Tomic To Skip Australian Open Wildcard Playoff
Former world No.17 Bernard Tomic is in danger of missing the main draw of the Australian Open for the first time since 2008 after electing to skip a wildcard playoff event.
Tomic, who has fallen down to 142nd in the world rankings, would have been the top seed in the draw. Which features 16 Australian players fighting it out with the eventual winner securing a place in the first grand slam of 2018. Tomic must now play in the qualifying competition a week prior to the Melbourne major to have any chance of reaching the main draw.
The 25-year-old had been urged to play in the tournament by Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt. Hewitt and Tennis Australia's Head of Performance, Wally Masur, opted not to provide Tomic with a wildcard into the Australian Open. Instead giving the pass to Thanasi Kokkinakis.
"He's had a tough year and he needs matches and he's got to put himself out there on the line to have a crack at making the Open." Hewitt told The Herald Sun last month.
"We all know the kind of tennis he can play but he has to get back to that level and he also needs to commit to the sport as well and we won't be making any more wildcard decisions until we see what happens in the playoffs."
Hewitt's comments follow what has been a poor season on the tour for Tomic. Overall, he has managed to win 11 out of 31 main draw matches. Out of those 11 victories, only three of them occurred after the Wimbledon Championships. His best results were reaching the quarterfinals of events in Eastbourne and Istanbul.
John Newcombe recently urged Tomic to take a break from the sport amid his lull in form. Newcombe, who won seven grand slam titles during his career, believes the Australian need to take time away and evaluate what he wants to do in the future.
"I think Bernie needs to step away from the game for three or four months and really think about: is this (tennis) what he wants to do?" Newcombe told Fox Sports Australia.
"And if this is what he wants to do, then he needs to find the best trainer he can find and get himself properly fit.
"It's not too late but unless he gets himself fit, it's never going to happen. It's that simple."
There has been no comment from Tomic regarding his decision to miss the wildcard playoff.
Santillan and Rodionova to head play-offs
In Tomic's absence, 20-year-old Akira Santillan will be the top seed. Santillan is currently ranked 145th in the world and won his first Challenger earlier in the year in Winnetka, USA. He will be joined by Alex Bolt, Alex de Minaur and John-Patrick Stewart. Sam Groth, who is set to retire from the sport next year, will also feature in the draw.
"The men's field is a mix of some really impressive young guys who will be keen to make their mark, alongside established and experienced players," Hewitt told tennis.com.au.
"The Play-off format will replicate the Australian Open, with best-of-five-set matches giving the players a real feel for Grand Slam conditions. We've seen some tough battles over the years and I'm looking forward to watching all the boys in action next week."
In the women's draw, Arina Rodionova will be bidding to reach the main draw of the major for the fourth time in her career. The 27-year-old is the top seed and the only players ranked inside the top 150 at 119th in the world.
"We've got some really strong players such as Arina Rodionova, who has traditionally performed well at this event. Arina had a strong finish to her year, ending up just outside the top 100, so she'll be highly motivated," Fed Cup captain Alicia Molik said about the women's draw.
Destanee Aiava, who has won two ITF titles during 2017, will be aiming to reach the main draw for the second year in a row. Aiava has risen over 200 places in the WTA rankings since the start of the year. Other entrants include Anastasia Rodionova, Jaimee Fourlis and Sara Tomic (sister of Bernard).

March was a busy month for the Coral Glades High School cheerleading team as it won three national championships on three consecutive weekends.
The 22-member squad captured the U.S. Spirit National Championship (Junior Varsity Large Division) in Orlando for its final championship March 24-26 as it on competed against teams from across the country.
"We did very well," said Alicia Nigro, who has been the Coral Glades cheerleading coach since the Coral Springs school opened three years ago. "The girls shocked me, not because they did so well, but because they came together and put on a great show. We were in the JV division because we didn't have any seniors."
The Jaguars also won the U.S. Cheerleading and Dance National Championship in Miami the previous weekend at AmericanAirlines Arena and the National Championship in the American Cheerleading Championship in Orlando on March 12-19.
Nigro said the team will hold tryouts this week at the school for next year's team, and more than 200 girls have picked up packets. The Florida High School Athletic Association will sanction cheerleading as a sport for the first time in the 2007-08 season.
"We will have a lot more competition in Florida now because it is now finally a sport," Nigro said. "It is a relief because we have been fighting for years to say it was a sport. How many people can throw each other in the air? How many can do 20 flips in a row?"
The Jaguars also won top honors in the American Cheer Power Open in Fort Lauderdale and took second place in the Miami Heat Spirit Cheer Classic.
Based on their performances at the national competitions, there were 12 All-Star girls selected from Coral Glades to cheer at the 2008 NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii -- Danielle Sarentino, Kelly Donnelly, Chantal Ofsanko, Trudy Smith, Lauren Kistner, Katrine Kassenberg, Christine Keeler, Randi Blanton, Cassandra Cuevas, Kaitlyn Spher, Jocelyn Olmezer and Ripley Thornton.

A state legislator says Gov. Lawton Chiles is having second thoughts about putting a temporary Haitian detention center adjacent to a residential area near Pompano Beach.
State Rep. John Rayson, D-Pompano Beach, said Chiles told him on Thursday that he would try to find another location for the detention center, which would be used only in the event of a mass exodus of people from Haiti.
Last week, Rayson said he was told by state officials that an abandoned warehouse at 1251 NE 48th St. would be one of seven temporary detention centers in South Florida chosen by the state.
The centers likely will be used only if the United States changes its policy and removes the blockade around the Caribbean island that prohibits Haitians from seeking refuge here.
Outraged residents in the Pompano Highlands neighborhood complained last week to Rayson that the center should not be put near a residential area.
On Thursday, Ken Miller, president of the Pompano Highlands neighborhood association, said Rayson`s message was good news.
``Something had to be more suitable than here, next to a bunch of houses,`` Miller said. ``It`s just not the spot for it.``
Rayson said on Thursday he had taken a petition with nearly 700 names to Chiles.
``He told me that he would look into a nonresidential setting,`` Rayson said. ``I think he`ll look for another place.``
Chiles office did not return calls.
Rayson said Chiles was surprised by the uproar from the neighborhood.
``He said he didn`t want to be caught unprepared, like what happened with the Mariel boatlift and with Hurricane Andrew,`` Rayson said.
Florida`s plan, released in January, said the state would take care of the immigrants for only 48 to 72 hours. After that, the federal government would take the refugees to processing centers out of state.

Wine Details
Wine Description
Many say Artadi is one of the most sought-after estates in Rioja and Pagos Viejos one of the most sought-after wines in the world. Decades of intense labor in the vineyards have given famed winemaker and owner Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle the experience and passion for making wines of true excellence. Containing fine aromas and an elegant mouth feel that is fruit-forward on the mid-palate, and supported by round tannins, Artadi's Pagos Viejos is the ideal representation of what an artisanal wine should taste like when carefully made from the old-vine Tempranillo that is grown in Rioja Alavesa. An experience to be enjoyed on special occasions, this wine is dark cherry red in color and is both elegant and aromatic. Containing intriguing aromas of dark chocolate, black minerals, cigar box and fresh coconut, this wine is unctuous and elegant with a very long finish.
International Wine CellarRating: 92/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 122, September/October 2005 ($70; the estate's top Rioja offering from the 2003 vintage) Good full ruby-red. Superripe, slightly high-toned aromas of dark raspberry and licorice. Extremely ripe, rich and sweet, with a remarkably lush texture and early accessibility for Rioja. Here the new French oak gives necessary shape to this almost exotically sweet wine. Probably not for long keeping, but a major mouthfu...

New Car...
I just put down my deposit on a Smart Car. It'll take about a year to arrive and hopefully I'll be settled in one place. It's a decent car, lots of room for two inside, and should be a great car for a non traveling Priest to use for calls. Mine will look like the one pictured above. My first Pastor car was a Ford Festiva, which I dearly loved, and I hope this one will do as well. The Smart Fortwo has good gas mileage 40/45 by 2007 standards, 33/41 by 2008, easy to park, easy on the earth, and fun to drive. A good little city car.
One of the things people may not know is just because I'm skeptical about the global warming hype doesn't mean I'm not an environmentalist in my own way. I feel that taking care of the environment and living on the Earth in the lightest way possible is about respect for God's creation. I like to think that not consuming as much is a way to promote peace in the world. I believe we have a moral responsibility to, as best we can, leave God's creation in at least as good, and hopefully better, shape as we found it. It's just that I guess I'm not "Al Gore" green so much as "Garden of Eden" green, if that makes sense.

Why did the mileage decline from 2007 to 2008 models?
- Fr John said...
They changed the formula used to calculate the mileage.

I must admit that when I saw this post, I laughed as I thought of a SmartCar I saw just the other day - the first one I'd ever seen!
The driver of this car tried (unsuccessfully) to cut off a city bus on Lake St. in Mpls. I just laughed when I saw the vehicle-make label on the back of this teeny car: "Smart."
Not TOO smart, I thought.
They do look sorta cool, though.
- Fr John said...
Yes, for now those who own this car must remember they are ants in a world of very large shoes.
I'm grateful they come in bright colors... : )

MY SON SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT! He is five months old TODAY and he slept through the night last night for the first time. What a wonderful gift for his mama!
Baby is five months old and up to 13 lbs! He gained 1 1/4 pound since we had his 4 month check up and the doc was worried about his weight! She's now happy with his progress and anticipates a big growth spurt between now and his 6 month appointment due to his new formula diet.
Our life is stressful right now. Both of us working full time. Husband's work schedule is all over the place (times and locations). We are balancing three counseling sessions a week (yeah, we each have one now. w00t!). Our house is a wreck due to never being home. But we haven't been this happy and content in years. For the first time in a LONG TIME I can say I love my life, in all its imperfect moments.
I'll post more of a five month update tonight, the first night I'll be at home all night in a LONG time!

I heard about this collection only a few days ago, but I know it's been out for a few weeks. I just haven't found it at any stores near me, but my husband stopped at a store near his work and ran into the display "by accident", called me, and asked if I wanted any of the colors (like he really needed to ask?!). "Any?" I asked him, in a duh-I-want-them-all tone. He laughed, then said "I knew it" and picked me up one of each shade, plus an extra bottle of the shade Waves of Enchantment, per my request (which looks like the winning shade out of the collection).
Let's get right into swatches... and there are a LOT of them (16 pics per shade)!!
Wet n Wild Fastdry Limited Edition Mermaid's Cove Summer 2011 Collection
*click on image to view it larger *
For each shade I show how it looks with studio lighting and with a regular camera flash. Swatches show each shade without top coat and each shade with a top coat (in this case, I used Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat).
For each shade I show how it looks with studio lighting and with a regular camera flash. Swatches show each shade without top coat and each shade with a top coat (in this case, I used Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat).
Waves Of Enchantment
Shade Description: A pink shimmer with lots of golden flecks. This, in my opinion, is the star shade of the collection. Prettier in person than in pics.
Ocean Grotto
Ocean Grotto
Shade Description: A dirty lime green metallic-like shimmer with gold flecks. My second favorite shade in the collection. Prettier in person than in pics.
Shade Description: Micro pink and silver hex glitter in clear, slightly tinted pink base. The pink shade has a slight purple undertone, which is why it takes on a more purple look in the regular camera flash lighting pics. But I would still call this pink.
Diving For Pearls
Diving For Pearls
Shade Description: A pearlized teal shimmer. This does look green in the regular camera flash lighting pics, but I assure you this is a teal shade.
Magic Trident
Shade Description: A pearlized orange shimmer with flecks of gold (shown better in the regular camera flash lighting pics). I have to say, this color orange reminds me more of Halloween than summertime, but I still think it's a pretty shade!
Sea Of Dreams
Sea Of Dreams
Shade Description: A pink-toned dusty lilac with hidden shimmer. In the regular camera flash lighting pics you can see the blue/purple and gold shimmer. In all other photos it just looks pearlescent.
Sea Witch
Sea Witch
Shade Description: A fresh ocean blue with pearlescent shimmer.
*** Ignore the weird bumps on the swatches below. I don't know what happened to that nail! ***
What do you think? Which shade is your favorite?
My favorite is Waves of Enchantment, followed by Ocean Grotto. The Waves of Enchantment shade is a pink version of Zoya's Faye (Faye is a purple with gold fleck shimmer).
As always, these shades apply nicely and dry quickly. I love Wet n Wild polishes, especially their newer ones! They're really getting on board with trendy shades. I'm waiting for a line of holographics to come out. I'm sure it's in the future (at least I hope so).

I love public transportation — usually it's cheap, good for the environment, and offers a safe ride home when imbibing delicious adult beverages.
Unfortunately it's never perfect. Just for fun I made a quick and completely subjective comparison of public transportation among the three cities I'm most familiar with. These comments are my opinions, based on my personal experience only.
San Francisco
|Reliability of service
|Muni only seems to stick to the published schedule in off peak hours. But as long as you use www.nextmuni.com which tracks each bus using a GPS you'll always know when the next one is coming. It's truly the best part about Muni. Every once in awhile this website lists a bus that never shows up.
|You're lucky if an MBTA bus comes within a 30 minute margin of the published schedule and no website or advanced technology is available to let you know if buses are running late. Subway trains are reliable but only get you certain places. Commuter rail is notoriously unreliable with late trains, missed runs, broken air conditioning, you name it.
|King Country Metro Transit runs closest to its published schedule of the three cities. They also offer a website that alerts you if a bus is running late, but I'm not sure if this is based on GPS and from what I hear there isn't' always info for each bus.
|Muni buses and light rail are$2 all the time, which is a bit pricey. Muni needs to spend more time enforcing the thousands of people who jump on without paying.
|Boston comes close to winning this category with buses at $1.25 with a Charlie card and $1.50 with cash but given the reliability of the buses this may still be overpriced. Trains are on par with the other cities at $1.70 with a Charlie Card and $2 in cash. If you are a visitor they don't make it easy to get a Charlie Card – they are only available at certain locations, and definitely not at the airport.
|$2 during peak, $1.75 off-peak, and free in the downtown area. I like their flexible pricing model but it can get confusing, especially when you are on a bus that enters and leaves downtown.
|Muni light rail, bus, BART, Caltrain, and ferry offer very extensive coverage. You can get anywhere on public transit. But because they are all run by separate orgs you have to buy a separate ticket which is a pain and means more transferring and longer commute times. In fact to certain locations it's often more expensive than driving. Translink helps with the multi-agency problem but not the price.
|The coverage is only good if you are going somewhere near a T line. If you live more than 1 mile from the subway you might want a car as the buses don't run that often and are spread far apart.
|I don't have much experience with many bus lines in Seattle but it seemed like pretty extensive coverage to me just from looking at the map. There are many buses within the city and a decent number to suburban areas. However, lack of a major light rail system means longer commute times.
|Friendliness of operators
|The SF operators are not quite friendly as in Seattle, but most have a great take charge, can-do attitude that is really what I prefer on a day-to-day basis when I'm trying to get somewhere. They don't put up with crap, but they don't slam the door in your face either.
|MBTA bus drivers and the green line subway operators always seemed to love to drive away and/or slam the door in my face when I was running to catch a train/bus. When I did manage to get on it was pretty much no-nonsense attitude, not welcoming but not overly rude.
|I recently had a very friendly experience with two different drivers. One went out of their way to help tourists find where they were going and another told us we didn't have to pay when we didn't have exact change. They both had positive attitudes and seem to enjoy their job.
|Getting to the airport
|BART is a great way to get to the airport but expect to pay an arm and a leg. With the latest price increase it $8.10 to get to SFO from downtown. Another $2 to add a bus for me to get to a BART station. Might as well try Super Shuttle for that price. Or use an airport parking service (~$13/day) for a short trip, especially if you are traveling with more than one person.
|The price point is the best at $1.70-$2.00 for a ride on the T, but expect to take 2 lines if you are getting on near the red line and switch to the silver. If you are coming from anywhere else you'll most likely have to take 3 different lines to get there. Lugging around suitcases while switching to all the lines can be a headache, especially at rush hour if the trains are full and people see you coming with a suitcase you might not get on. Cabs are a huge rip off too so either way it's a pain in the ass.
|They newly built light rail (SoundTransit) is a great price at $2.50 to get to the airport. But it's not connected all the way yet so you'll have to take a shuttle from the last stop to the airport until December 2009 (so they say). Add a bus to get to the light rail station downtown and it took us an hour and 30 minutes total. But can't complain much when it was only $2.50.

Question: Do you think the world one day will live as equals
Yes , although it may seem foolish that I believe such perfect future, I do believe it. And like every soulotion there's a catch. Just like the stereotypical highschool there will always be cliques. Prep with Preps, Rebels with Rebels, and even the future criminals. All these united group with be together. And will have to try and keep away from the others or else there will be wars going on everywhere just like in present time. Although the whole world will not be in union this I believe is the closes we can achieve to all of us coming and being one. We , human beings, are just to much of monsters for more.

Can't believe it has been a week since I posted. I have been gone from home since Monday. My sweetie has a job in Southern California which is close to a a good friend of ours, so I hitched a ride with him and we are staying with her for the week. It has been a fun packed week as she needed some help redoing some areas in her home and I got to go to work with her and help with a couple of displays. She has a great little Gift/Antique store in Long Beach, CA ....Aunt Fanny's Emporium. She has started a website, but says it will have more soon. http://www.auntfannysemporium.com/ I don't have a way to put my pictures on today, but check in on Sunday as I will do a post showing all the fun things we did, If any of you know about Home Goods, it involved several trips there.

text: About 2 years ago we were surprised with a litter of babies from our two "female" rabbits. I came across these photos today and it reminded me of how much I loved having all those little babies! I would totally breed rabbits if I could, but really with so many in shelters and being dumped in neighborhoods the only ethical market for them is the meat market, which I don't really have the heart for. Instead I'll just look at pictures and smile.

The Honda Van Nightmare
Posted by: Nebuchadnezzar on February 13th, 2018 @ 4:00PM
I'm never buying Honda Vans again. The transmission went out and over a few years it was $11,000 of repairs on a purchase of $20,000. Now the latest is an oil leak for $960. It seems to be worth maybe $5,000 + the broken windshield.COMMENTS | CARS | DIGG

Katie, Lilly, and I have watched this four times. We love Charlotte's song and the way that Max squints when Charlotte is walking around his head. He is thinking, "Please don't step on me."

You know what? the idea of vampires, werewolves and humans falling in love with each other is an intersting one. It would be like a metaphor for people opposed of interracial marriage, but now its inter species.
Okay, so they are all more or less human, with the not so human having super human powers.
I can deal with that
So why in the fuck did twilight fumble this idea so badly?
simple, instead of catering to vampire-fags, werewolf-fags, you know people who like that shit, goth ect.
they catered to women, aged 14-30
mind you, that is a bigger crowd and WILL make a profit, so if it was done just to make money, good on the writer and movie makers
but i know thats not why it was done, the writer basically wrote her wet dream, as is every womans dream, to be fought over by many men with super human powers.
Fucks sakes women are shallow.
Anyways moving on, I have a better idea for this shit.
Vampires - who act like vampires
Vampires - who are pansies who do not drink human blood and therefore have to hold back the urge to tear people to pieces and are slight weaker than their human blood sucking relatives
Werewolves - who are actually werewolves, you know the half-wolf half man kinda shit, not one or the other
Hunters - humans who hunt (successfully) werewolves and vampires
and finally Vampires, Werewolves and humans fighting other vampires werewolves and humans with modern military equipment.
some of them are using swords and riding dragons.
Thats right, a vampire on a dragon against a human in a fighter jet
and werewolves jumping from fighter jet to fighter jet using samuari swords to slice through the wing before jumping off onto another one.
But enough of the violence and action, lets get back to the point here.
The love story:
if a love story can be described with a geometric shape, then its fucking stupid.
Ever hear of true fucking love nimrods?
where one man loves one woman
where yes other men and women can lust after these people, but basically it wont fucking matter.
Christ, and women get pissed of at me when i cheat, and its their fantasy to cheat with meny men? bitches, fuck off.
How about some interspecies relationships?
Human and Vampire - fuck yes
Human and Werewolf - fuck yes
Werewolf and Vampire - ohmygodwhatthefuckareyouthinking
So there will be basically 6 major characters
Human Male
Human Female
Werewolf Male
Werewolf Female
Vampire Male
Vampire Female
are they all going to be connected, yes of course
these are the heroes of the story, you know, the good guys?
homosexuality? not in this one, that will be saved for another story.
Well maybe, why not some hot lesbian werewolf on vampire action?
Too much? maybe so but why not actually write a story about
homosexuality and interractial relationships are a reality
and yet they are still subject to prejustice, but why?
who the fuck cares, but lets let the extremes fight it out, with a small group of people willing to accept and comprimise for peace.
but the will ultimately kick the shit out of everyone else

IFRS update October 2005 - The state of play
Is your company heading for A&E? Here's our 10-point checklist of the critical areas to address if your conversion project is running behind schedule
Is your company heading for A&E? Here's our 10-point checklist of the critical areas to address if your conversion project is running behind schedule
1 If you are not well into the project by now, get moving
and fast! And if your company doesn't have a December year end, don't be
complacent as time is running out for all companies
Access IFRS – PwC's
IFRS resource centre
2 Accept that your reporting will be different and
acknowledge the need for change auditors cannot fix this as part of their
annual audit work so you will need to take responsibility for the changes
3 Consider all the implications and ensure that you have a
strong message to communicate your investor relations team and directors must
be able to talk stakeholders through your IFRS strategy and the impact of
4 For those companies that have not already presented
interim reports, determine your interim reporting strategy and the options
available to report
5 Involve your business units early many of the detailed
differences may only become apparent when business units are engaged, but these
differences can be significant
6 Seek specialist help in complex areas such as treasury and
share options, particularly if you are short of time you cannot do it all
7 Wherever your conversion requires detailed analysis of
transactions such as lease contracts or the search for embedded derivatives,
ensure your analysis has been thorough, establish an appropriate review process
and make sure the people doing the work understand what they are looking for
8 Don't overlook deferred tax it is a complex area
requiring a thorough review
9 Plan your results presentation format – the way you
present your first results under IFRS will influence how your IFRS conversion
project is perceived
10 Develop a strategy for moving forwards. Only just getting
it right is not sustainable – IFRS will need to be embedded into your systems
and processes

Connect the mini router to the Internet
Cable, Repeater, Modem and Tethering
Note: This doc is update on 2017-11-24 and you need to use firmware v2.264.
Note: Most of the pictures in this instructions are for firmware v2.20. Firmware v2.22 may has slightly different interfaces.
The main UI shows the Internet status, mainly the IP address and protol in the setting area. The data will refresh every several seconds.
You can click the
Internet part in the Settings bar, you will have tools to change Internet settings.
You can now click "Setting" button or the Internet Icon to pop up Internet settings page.
DHCP requires you to connect using Internet cable.
Your main router or ISP should be able to provide such option.
DHCP is the default and most common method to connect to the Internet. You just need to choose
DHCP and click
Static requires you to connect using Internet cable.
Static is required if you want your router have a fixed IP address given by your ISP or in the same subnet of your main router.
The current settings will be automactically filled in the filed. Change it according to your needs, then click
PPPoE is required by many ISP. Generally they will give you a modem and provide you a username and password.
Fill your
username and
password then click
Repeater (WISP)
Note: Please check the Repeater Manager function for more details
Mote: If you use in public Café or hotel, and there is a portal page, you may need to disable
DNS rebind protection. Please refer to Repeater Manager function
Using GLi mini routers, you don't need to have an Ethernet cable to surf the Internet, you can user it as repeater. The most common one is WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider).
In WISP mode, the mini router act as a firewall and protect you from outside. If you are using a public wifi, you need to use this mode.
In the following diagram, your main router has an IP 192.168.1.1. Suppose its netmask is 255.255.255.0, your mini router will have two IP address:
192.168.1.99 which is got from your main router
192.168.8.1 which is created by itself
So all your devices connected to the mini router will be protected by the firewall.
First Click
Repeater tab in
Internet Settings, the router will search for the available SSIDs around automatically. Then choose the one your want to repeat and type your password. The
Mode should be
WISP, then click
Repeater Bridge (WDS)
In other circumstances, you want to connect to your own router which you trust. You don't need a separate network, you can use Repeater Bridge mode. The most common one is called
WDS. To use this mode, your main router has to support WDS. As WDS has different implementation, you'd better use the same GL.iNet router. Consult your main router's manual to check if it has this options.
In WDS mode, the mini router only boost your main router's signal area, not creating a seprate network. There is no firewall between the mini router and the main router.
OpenVPN client function of the mini router will not work in bridge mode.
To use WDS repeater, ensure your main router support WDS, then choose
WDS from mode list. You will have an option to input a static IP, which will be used to access this mini router.
If you know the subnet of your main router, for example in this case it is
192.168.1.x, you can input a static IP, e.g.
192.168.1.99. This static IP should not conflict with any other devices' IP address. Then later you should access this UI at
If you are not sure, just keep the IP address blank so that it will get a IP address from your main router automatically. But you need to find out this IP in your main router's admin UI if you want to access this UI again.
Repeater Bridge (relayd)
In case you are having an old router and it doesn't support WDS, you can use WISP mode then setup a relayd overlay.
Here is detailed instructions of how to do it.
OpenVPN client function of the mini router will not work in bridge mode
3G/4G Modem and phone tethering
Please refer to guide for modem and tethering
Clone MAC
Clone MAC is used especially in hotels, hotspot etc when the server checks your mac address. For example, if you got your smartphone registered on the network, you can clone your smartphone's mac address to the router so that the router can connect.
Clieck the
Clone Mac button and you will have the following interface.
Your current mac address will be displayed in
WAN MAC Address. You can click
Clone to copy your device's mac address or click
Restore to restore the factory set mac.
Don't forget clicking
Apply and wait some seconds for it to take effect.
Custom DNS
You can set up custom dns server for some purpose.
DNS button you will be able to input custom dns. You can input max two dns servers.
Force all clients to use will capture the dns request from all the connected client, for example Google Chrome cast. This option does not need to be used with custom DNS server.
A separate article will be written about DNS.

My mother was always very clear that she loved me but she was also very clear that she despised all that I was. I do not know what it feels like to be mothered, to be safe, to feel cared for, to not be a burden and a disappointment. My mother in law showed me to an extent. It was way cool. But she has a granddaughter that she has raised off and on that will always have priority over me. I do not hold that against anybody. It is what it is.
My mother does not even live next door yet but her poison and venom towards me has me so sin sick I feel like I would rather eternal damnation and forever separation from a God I have loved for the past 10 years over doing His Word.
I continue to read The Word and feel the powerful Truth bouncing off of me and leaving me prayerless as I realize I am not willing to Love Him enough to do what it asks of me. I can not love my enemy. I can not pray for those who curse me. I can not bless those who hurt me. I can not turn the other cheek or forgive 70 times 7.
I understand I do not deserve to be hurt like I have but how can I say I love God and believe in the Cross when I use free will to refuse It's Power? I have heard stories and testimonies of others who have been abused much more than me and they overcame the power of sin and death in their lives. Even if they still fight it, they do not consider eternity in hell as an option over forgiveness and love.
If I were only fighting my feelings this would not be so hard. I believe God's Truth trumps my feelings and emotions. It is my actions that are the problem. I chose to say vile hateful things to the woman who gave birth to me and have no remorse for it later. I even want to do it again and hurt her more. I want her to suffer and feel pain that came from me. 10 years of trying to follow my Lord and this is where I am. Hopeless, heartless and hurting. Unable or unwilling to prove my love to my Jesus by obeying Him. Where the hell am I supposed to go from here? Where the hell. Exactly.

Daphne: I have no profound advice. What I can offer you is a reminder that you are not perfect. Give yourself a break. Pray for God to HELP YOU with your prayerlessness, hatred, unforgiveness, hurt, pain, random acts of insanity. I remember a story in the Bible of a man who wanted to believe but asked Jesus to "help me with my disbelief". God honors honesty. Be honest (as you have been) and try to wait on Him to lead you. The things you are feeling towards your mom are normal emotions. There isn't anything wrong with you. You aren't backsliding. The very fact that you posted this proves that you're struggling. Not that you've lost your faith. We all go thru stuff that makes us feel less than worthy. Trust me, you're worthy. Every "stripe" he endured, every drop of blood he poured out, every single beating he felt, everything proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are worth it to Him. Everything else pales in comparison.
I'll pray for you in the meantime. Hang in there. You are doing the right thing by seeking Him and help.

Right now in my life, there is a certain issue that I'm struggling with. I know what God wants me to do about it, but I'm not yet completely willing to do it because it's extremely difficult and sometimes seems impossible. It's like that verse, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Of course my situation is completely different than yours. I cannot begin to know what you are feeling and going through. But I agree with what Heidi said as far as you are struggling to obey God not rejecting Him and your faith. I don't have any profound advice either, only encouragement. God knows your situation, your heart and your mind more than anyone else can. He is your rock, your strength, your healer, the lifter of your head, your forgiver, and the lover of your soul. Please don't give up seeking Him. Even if everyone else in this world lets you down and fails you... He never will. I'm praying for you Daphne.

There have been times where all I could say was "help" in a very small defeated voice, but He heard, He hears and He did and will continue to answer the cry for help. Just ask, take the gift by the second and if five minutes later you have to cry "help" again, do it, He never grows tired of us because His love is endless.
Call me if you need anything 225-439-7327

Remember that God is still the same great God He was last week...and He is bigger than any storm you will ever walk through. Remember not to limit Him. He still has power you cannot fathom, and though you may not know how to ask, and you may not know what you need, the Spirit intercedes for you as long as you have faith of a mustard seed. Mustard seed magic, baby!
Love you,

Just came by to let you know I've been praying for you. I hope today is better.

I was at a friend's blog today and she asked if there were any blogs that move them to cry and I mentioned yours. More than a couple of times. You state your humaness so profoundly it touches me deeply. I'm praying for ya Daphne. I don't have a clue what God does when we rebel against what He wants from us. I would imagine that He pulls us even closer to Him and loves on us even more. Remember, He is the One that left 99 other sheep to find His lost one. We are all lost sheep at some point, even after we have given our lives to Him. If our actions took us away from God forever we would all be screwed. Remember, His blood, His sacrifice covers all!!! Even when we can't help ourselves from acting like asses. God works in His time not our time. When He is ready to heal you of your anger towards her, he will. Just don't kill her. That's a type A sin and who knows what the hell will happen then! Again, sending all of my prayers to you Daphne to help you get through this.
- I Whisper to God said...
Hi my name is Lorna. I'm the friend that Bub recommended your blog to. I've actually been here before and read a few of your blogs through Bub's link, but today I am going to add you to the blogs I follow.
I have the same hateful relationship struggle and feelings that you do towards my Dad and some not so hateful but struggling feelings toward my mom. God has been working with me on this for a couple of years now. My father is a homeless alcoholic who is the biggest ass I have ever known, so selfish and self centered that he would rather lose it all to continue to drink whiskey on the streets than change. My mom and dad have been divorced since I was four and I actually thank God for that everyday even though I was sexually milested by my stepfather. And that's where I struggle with my Mother. Because I told her what was happening to me and it fell on deaf ears and I at eight years old had to find a way to stop the abuse. which I did, I think with God's help.
When I look back I can clearly see where God placed and put people in my life to help me through. He knew what I needed and he took care of me needs in spite of my free will.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that your feelings and anger are normal. But don't give up on God because he will NEVER give up on you.

Nobody's Got It All Together
You can get the album containing this song (lots of great stuff) along with quite a few other albums - for free! - at noisetrade.com.
What do you think of this song and the thoughts behind it?
Do you find that we as Christians are real with each other, or that we try to act like we do have it all together? If the latter, what can we do to be real with each other so that we truly can encourage one another to love and good deeds?

I've been thinking on this off and on lately. Every time I start a new semester, or a new job, I think about how I can build relationshiops that will lead to spiritual conversations with the new people I'm coming into contact with. And, being vulnerable to other people is a relationship builder....so I've been trying to let other people in. Thanks for sharing.

Recent contributions (Handley 2014, Handley and Limao 2015, 2016, Limao and Maggi 2015, Pierce and Schott 2016) have shown that uncertainty over future trade policy has a real effect on international trade. Two important papers (Handley and Limao 2016, Pierce and Schott 2016) have looked at China's accession to the WTO. This event was characterised by little or no change in the level of US import tariffs on goods from China, but involved a substantial reduction in uncertainty about what the US tariff rate on Chinese goods would be in the future. Both studies use the elimination of pre-existing cross-sectional variation in tariff uncertainty that came with China's accession to identify the impact on important variables. Handley and Limao (2016) find that this reduction in trade policy uncertainty can explain 22-30% of China's subsequent export growth to the US, while Pierce and Schott (2016) document how the reduction in trade policy uncertainty facing Chinese exporters contributed to the sharp drop in US manufacturing employment.
In a new paper, we provide the first empirical evidence that tariff scares – threats to raise tariffs in the future – have negative impacts on trade even when the threatened import tariff hikes never actually materialise (Crowley et al. 2016). Our analysis uses the universe of transaction-level Chinese customs data and focuses on the foreign market entry decisions of Chinese firms in response to antidumping duties, a type of special import tariff permitted under the WTO's contingency provisions and imposed against China by 17 economies over 2000-2009.1 The interesting twist is that we study not how Chinese exports to a country fall when that country imposes a tariff, but rather how entry into new foreign markets by Chinese firms declines when other countries impose these special tariffs.
A tariff hike in one country creates fear that tariff hikes will spread to other countries
Our analysis is based on the phenomenon of 'tariff echoing' – after a tariff hike in one country, another country is likely to raise its tariff on the same product (Tabakis and Zanardi 2016). We examine the global use of antidumping duties because their use in restricting product-level imports is correlated across countries at short time horizons. Tabakis and Zanardi (2016) calculate that the probability of a new antidumping duty for an origin-destination-product triplet among 15 destination countries and 39 origin countries from 1980-2005 is a mere 0.024%. Importantly for our purposes, they also document that the probability of a new antidumping duty in any of 14 destination markets in a given year conditional on a new antidumping duty in a first market in the previous year jumps to 0.721%. Tariff hikes under antidumping policy occur rarely, but if one importing country hikes its tariff, there is an increased probability of a future tariff hike on the same product in other markets around the world.
We begin our empirical analysis by identifying episodes in which a first country receiving exports from China imposed an antidumping duty on a product over 2000-2008. We then identify corresponding product-destination-year observations to which Chinese firms could have exported the targeted product and verify that no subsequent change in the tariff actually took place for the targeted product in these countries. We say that these product-country-year observations were hit with trade policy uncertainty shocks and estimate the impact of these shocks on:
- entry into other foreign markets with the targeted product by Chinese firms that were hit with the tariff in the first destination country;
- entry into other foreign markets with other products by multi-product Chinese firms that were hit with a tariff on one product in the first destination countr; and
- entry into other foreign markets with the targeted product by other Chinese firms that did not face the tariff hike in the first destination country because they did not export the product in question to the country that raised the tariff.
For each of these cases, we estimate a model of new market entry at the product level for individual firms. For the first case, entry with targeted products by firms that were hit with tariffs, we assume these targeted firms update their beliefs about the future tariffs in other markets, but that other firms which export the targeted product and were not hit with tariff increases anywhere do not change their beliefs. The strength of our novel and unique identification strategy is that it identifies the impact of uncertainty shocks across firms while controlling for possible unobserved time-varying fluctuations in product-level supply and demand.2
In case (3) above, we investigate if information about likely future tariff increases spreads from firms that have been hit with new foreign duties to firms that export the same product to other destinations. We exploit firms' geographic locations within China to estimate how news about one country's antidumping duty can influence the export behaviour of firms not directly affected by the foreign policy change. We construct product-level trade policy information shocks for all Chinese prefectures, and find that firms exposed to a more intense trade policy information shock are far less likely to enter new markets. This finding suggests a benefit accruing to exporting firms located in industrial clusters – they acquire valuable information about foreign market conditions.
The scale of non-entry into foreign markets due to tariff scares
We estimate the responses of Chinese manufacturing firms and trading firms separately and use our estimated models to quantify the number of missing firm-product-destination entrants over 2001-2009. Our model implies these missing entrants never materialised because they were discouraged from entering by the threat of antidumping duties (Figure 1). Over 2001-2009, the average number of missing entrants per year is 1,718. The average number of missing manufacturing firms is 1,399 while that for trading firms is 319. The total number of missing entrants grew from 670 in 2001 to a peak of 2,920 in 2008.
Figure 1 Missing Chinese entrants due to trade policy uncertainty, 2001-2009
In Figure 2, we construct counterfactual estimates of the accumulated missing value of trade associated with missing entrants in each year, 2001-2009, under the assumptions that each missing entrant never enters and would have exported the mean value of trade in subsequent years if it had entered. The red hatched bar and the blue speckled area for 2001 indicate that if there had been no uncertainty about trade policy around the world, the 670 missing entrants from Figure 1 (above) would have exported approximately $2.1 billion over 2001-2009. We conservatively estimate the total value of missing trade from China over 2001-2009 associated with the uncertainty created by some countries' use of antidumping policy at $23.3 billion.
Figure 2 Missing Chinese export value due to trade policy uncertainty, 2001-2009
Trade agreements provide certainty over future trade policy and stimulate trade
Finally, we use these models to counterfactually estimate the share of new firm-product entry from China over 2001-2009 that was due to the elimination of trade policy uncertainty that came with China's accession to the WTO. If we assume that the trade policy uncertainty a country faces when it does not belong to a trade agreement is of the same magnitude as the trade policy uncertainty it faces under the WTO's contingency provisions, and that increases and decreases in trade policy uncertainty have symmetric effects on entry, then we can use our model to estimate how much entry by Chinese firms was created by the reduction in trade policy uncertainty that came with China's WTO accession.
Of the actual 116,945 firm-product-destination entrants per year in our sample over 2001-2009, we estimate that 42,163 per year were due to the reduced uncertainty over trade policy caused by China's entry into the WTO. This represents 36% of new entrants per year. New entrants are typically smaller in terms of their total export value than more established exporters, but they contribute substantially to overall export growth.
Returning to the question of the US' trade policy under the new Trump administration, our analysis suggests that the risk of rising trade barriers is likely already discouraging potential exporters around the world from attempting to enter the US market. It appears that the era in which low levels of uncertainty about future trade policy were an important force behind trade growth may now be coming to an end.

I am a leadership junkie. I love to go to leadership conferences, good ones at least. I love to read books on leadership and I love to hang out with leaders. In short, I love learning more about it because I believe that everything rises and falls on leadership.
So it was with interest that I read an email recently which contained a list of things John Maxwell says we can do to become better leaders. I thought I'd share this list here:
Let go of your ego.
The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. They lead in order to serve other people. Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, "Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things, and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things."
Become a good follower first.
Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United State Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first - and why West Point has produced more leaders than the Harvard Business School.
Build positive relationships.
Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. That means it is by nature relational. Today's generation of leaders seem particularly aware of this because title and position mean so little to them. They know intuitively that people go along with people they get along with.
Work with excellence.
No one respects and follows mediocrity. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.
Rely on discipline, not emotion.
Leadership is often easy during the good times. It's when everything seems to be against you - when you're out of energy, and you don't want to lead - that you earn your place as a leader. During every season of life, leaders face crucial moments when they must choose between gearing up or giving up. To make it through those times, rely on the rock of discipline, not the shifting sand of emotion.
Make adding value your goal.
When you look at the leaders whose names are revered long after they have finished leading, you find that they were men and women who helped people to live better lives and reach their potential. That is the highest calling of leadership - and its highest value.
Give your power away.
One of the ironies of leadership is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. You're meant to be a river, not a reservoir. If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

Monday, February 24, 2014
It would be easy to put the boot in given the results of the Fairfax, Morgan (the poll all Labourites swear by) and TV1 polls, but I won't. It's not in the Tory psyche to kick a dog when its down and I can only feel for the 'true believers' (with the exception of the likes of Mr Holden). Been there, done that back in 2002.
So, in the spirit of constructive comment, can I commend the following to that 'nice' Mr Cunliffe ....
* Stop apologising for living in a mansion. You and Mrs C earned the dosh to pay for it. Well done, learn to welcome and celebrate success.
* Forget about your obsession with trying to upstage John Key. He makes his own running. Stupid comments like when you said you could drink him under the table are just that. You demean yourself with such talk.
* And in that respect don't over-egg your achievements. You have sound academic credentials and were a reasonably competent Minister. Focus on that that rather than pretend you were the driving force behind the establishment of Fonterra or that you were somehow God's Gift to the Auckland City Mission.
* Instruct your poodle MPs to cease cuddling up to crimdotcom. You've seen what happened to Norman and the Greens over their dalliance with the Big guy. Look and learn.
* Look across the ditch to where the ALP in Tasmania has cut their ties with the Greens. A Labour/Greens combination scares the bejesus out of many centre voters. You can afford to cut the Greens loose. They can't go anywhere and, when push comes to shove, they will always back you with Confidence & Supply. Instead, forge an electoral alliance with NZ First and the Maori Party and, in doing so, offer Winston the Speakership. Recognise he would enjoy putting the parliamentary screws on National especially given that in the event of you forming a government they would likely remain the largest single Party in the House.. As for the Maori Party, work on the acknowledged fact that their constituency would prefer they went with Labour.
* Rule out Hone as Key did with Peters in 2008 and 2011.
* Don't be spooked by the commentators calling for Goff, Mallard and King to be dumped. They have a wealth of ministerial experience to fall back on. Focus instead on your non-performing MPs ... Adern, Dyson, Little, Moroney, Prasad and Street and, while you're at it, promote Damien O'Connor. He stands head and shoulders over the hangers-on as one of your very few 'good guys'.
* Treat private enterprise as a friend and not the enemy. Private enterprise creates wealth. The Government doesn't create wealth. It's job is to provide an environment where private enterprise can flourish.
* Trash 'rick pricks' at your peril. Most people want to be one.
* Somehow bury your arrogant persona.
Not that you and yours will take the faintest notice of any of this. I see a certain similarity between the disbelieving commentators from the Left on recent poll results and the aircraft pilot flying IFR who refuses to believe his instruments preferring to trust what his inner ear tells him ... and ends up going down, upside down, at a great and ever increasing rate of knots.

And Cameron Slater. Oh wait, that was the other guy, Key...
The Government doesn't create wealth.
The various governments that built the country's infrastructure would no doubt be astonished to hear this.
Somehow bury your arrogant persona.
Key's hasn't caused him any problems, so this one's probably unnecessary.

PM ... so you agree with the other 7.
7/10 ... not bad for an olde school Leftie.
Cameron S. will be delighted/horrified to learn that you consider him to be an MP.
Yep, infrastructure is important but and that's what I meant when I said that the job of Government is to provide an environment where private enterprise can flourish. In that context good infrastructure is a means to an end while flourishing private enterprise is an end in itself. This Government has invested a huge amount into building and rebuilding infrastructure.
As to Key being arrogant and I disagree. But even if it were true you would have to describe him as 'folksy arrogant'. Cunliffe, by any measure is smarmy arrogant. Know which I would prefer.

Archdiocese bankruptcy plan pledges $4M for abuse victims
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee Wednesday will file a plan to emerge from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, and wants to reserve about $4 million for victims of sexual abuse.
The Archdiocese filed its Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2011 in response to claims stemming from the priest sex-abuse scandal. Archbishop Jerome Listecki on Wednesday released a statement saying the reorganization plan is "the next major step toward ending the bankruptcy and returning our focus to the primary mission of the Church."
"It's time for us to get back to what the Church is supposed to be doing," the letter said. "It's time for the Archdiocese to return its focus to its ministry. Outreach to and the support of abuse survivors will always be part of that ministry.
"Nothing I can say or do can change the past. The abuse suffered by survivors sickens me."
The plan pledges therapy for victims of sexual abuse and will give them "whatever unrestricted archdiocesan assets that remain." It also reserves money for legal and accounting fees from the bankruptcy case.
The Archdiocese will continue its legal efforts to make insurance companies responsible for some of the abuse claims. Some of the $4 million in unrestricted money would go toward that effort.
In the Archdiocese's January 2011 Chapter 11 filing, it listed assets of $98.4 million, most of which were either restricted or belonged to other related organizations. The Archdiocese identified $4.6 million in assets that could be applied to a settlement.
The church will have at least $7 million in debt at the end of the case, according to Listecki's letter.
"The Archdiocese has historically operated on a balanced budget, so the burden of paying off this debt will certainly be part of our penance," the letter said. "I wish we wouldn't have had to spend the past three years and millions of dollars on attorneys' fees to get to this point, but now we have a plan that moves us forward."
