Richard Hibbard wants Wales to learn from their poor start to last year's tournament when they launch their bid for an unprecedented Six Nations title hat-trick.
Wales are red-hot favourites against visitors Italy but they endured a dreadful opening 40 minutes to last season's tournament as Ireland built a victory platform in Cardiff. Hibbard and company then reeled off four successive wins, culminating in a record 30-3 triumph against England that secured the silverware.
"We had one bad half in the entire tournament last year, so we definitely can't start like that again," the hooker said. "It was an accumulation of things last year. We had lost seven games on the bounce and there was a lot of pressure building. But after that [Ireland game] we didn't concede another try for the rest of the tournament."
Sterner tests lie ahead, notably in Dublin on Saturday week and at Twickenham in early March. Hibbard believes this weekend is a chance to put down an early marker.
"We want to go out, do our best and really get our show on the road and let everyone stand back and think 'Wales are here'," he said. "I am excited about the start but it will be a tough, physical game.
"The Italian pack is extremely experienced. They have been around the block a few times, and they have their talisman [captain Sergio Parisse] back, which is key for them."
He added: "We could become one of the greatest teams of all, and I think it is do-able. With the squad we have got here, it is definitely possible. The boys are really excited by the challenge.
"But it is like anybody who is on top, everyone is coming after you, aren't they? So we have got to be especially focused and make sure we win every game. They [the Wales coaches] want us to be comfortable at the top. That is when we will start beating the southern hemisphere teams and winning other things apart from the Six Nations."

First time cruisers!: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by PA Beachlovers
Overall Member Rating
First time cruisers!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Food: We had heard how good food was on a cruise, and was really looking forward to it. The food was good, not excellent in the main dining room, most evenings, we had late dining, the food was not very warm. The selections were adequate and if you didn't like the selections there was always a steak or chicken you could order. The pasta bar was very good, lasagna excellent, but the service was a bit slow, I recieved my lasagna and was twenty minutes till the other one at the same table was served. Breakfast buffet was good, not great, the sit More down breakfast was very good did that two days, would recommend doing that at least one day. Pizza was tasty though we only had it once.
Entertainment: We went to two shows, there signature show, the name of which I can't remember at this time was excellent, I don't like these type of shows and was surprised how good it was. The country show, 8 seconds, was awful, many people walked out including us. We went to three adult comedy shows, they were entertaining but not spectacular.
Boat: There has been a lot written about how bad the Dream rocks, We didn't think it was bad at all, except for the last night and from what we were told were were going through 14 foot waves so some rocking was understandable, but it was not bad enough to make us sick. The Dream is very clean and modern, lots to do all the time and found the overall cruise a good time.
Excursions: We were highly disappointed in the cave tubing in Belize, we were told that the river was too high and dangers of flash flooding by the Carnival guide, yet we talked to other people not booked through Carnival that they did the original excursion. The substitute excursion was ok, but not what we paid for. Cozumel bar hop is a good time. We had never snorkeled before and we snorkeled at Tabyana Beach Carnival excursion, it was absolutely incredible! Beautiful beach and a great coral reef about 30 feet off the beach. Maya Chan in Costa Maya was great except the water had a bad oder the day we were there.
Bottom line, great boat, great time, met a lot of great people! Less

Chapter 468: Another masterpiece of Li Bai!
The next day.
Around 5 in the morning. The sky had not lit up yet.
Zhang Ye could not fall asleep, and after washing up, he went downstairs. He wore a scarf and sunglasses and went for a morning jog around his neighborhood. He ran one big circle around his neighborhood as vapor emitted from his mouth till he could no longer run. He had not exercised in a while, so he couldn't handle the sudden run. The breakfast stall on the opposite side of the road had already opened, so he went there to have breakfast. He also took the opportunity to buy a copy of the morning newspapers at a newspaper stand beside it.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Bean curd and two fried dough sticks."
"Alright, it will be here shortly."
"Thanks a lot."
Zhang Ye pulled out a chair and sat by the roadside. He rubbed his cold, numb hands and began to look through the newspapers. He was stunned after seeing a piece of news on the frontpage of the entertainment section.
Yao Jiancai's attempted prostitution?
Holy sh*t, could it be that Old Yao was detained by the police!?
Zhang Ye was quite lost. No wonder he could not reach Old Yao by phone. No wonder SARFT's decree #43 had his name on it too. So that was the reason, but what was this charge of attempted prostitution? The news said that in a police "raid" the day before yesterday at a particular nightclub, amongst the 40 prostitutes, pimps and clients included Yao Jiancai. However, after reading the article all day, Zhang Ye could not find any real evidence to pin on Yao Jiancai. It appeared as if the police had found a female masseuse giving Yao Jiancai a massage in a room, and after investigations, the masseuse was a prostitute, hence the crime of attempted prostitution was slapped on Yao Jiancai. Of course, this was not written clearly on the newspaper, but Zhang Ye was no fool. He could tell from what he read.
That day, Old Yao had given him a phonecall, inviting him to sing karaoke with him. As Zhang Ye had to stay at home to take care of Chenchen for Rao Aimin, he had not gone. Could it be that it happened then?
Zhang Ye knew Old Yao as a person very well. Well, Yao Jiancai might not be some proper person, and also had the common problem of male lust, and would not shift his eyes away from young ladies, but he was a familiar celebrity that had appeared in many television dramas. Many people knew him, so even if he really wanted to hire a prostitute, he probably did not have the guts to do so. He was most likely just unlucky this time. It was as if his pants were stained brown, so even if it wasn't shit, people would think it was shit! Old Yao sure was unlucky. The newspaper said that he was detained for investigation, and with decree #43 issued, Yao Jiancai was used as an example.
Someone gave him a call.
Zhang Ye put down his newspapers. "Hello?"
It was Xiao Lu's cheeky voice. "Teacher Zhang, it's me. You sure are awesome. I only saw the Celebrity Rankings this morning when I came into the office and we were all discussing this matter!"
"Let me speak a word too." Over there, Hou Ge grabbed the phone over. "Teacher Zhang, everyone is missing you. Are you alright?"
Dafei's voice was there too. "That poem, 'Bamboos on the Rocks' was too well written! Teacher Zhang's literary skill remains the same!"
Hearing the voices of his former colleagues at the Beijing Television Station's Arts Channel, he smiled. "Thanks a lot. I'm fine and am pretty good. I just had a jog and am outside eating breakfast. After I'm done with my meal, so I'll be returning home to have some sleep."
Xiao Lu took the phone over again. "You sure are enjoying your life."
Zhang'er said, "Of course. I have no work to do, and only have time left. Let's meet one day and have a meal together. It's been awhile since we all gathered."
Xiao Lu said, "Sure."
Hou Di added on, saying, "Teacher Zhang, all the best. Hold on and don't drop down the rankings! We are waiting for you to create a miracle!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I was lucky yesterday. The people gave me face and circulated my 'Bamboos on the Rocks'. That caused me to enjoy an increase in popularity. I might not be so lucky today. What is my ranking now? Have I dropped back down to the D-list?"
Xiao Lu said, "Wait a moment, let me see!"
The sounds of the computer keyboard clacking could be heard.
Dafei took over the phone. "It's still not midnight yet, so the rankings haven't be updated. Your ranking is still where it was when it was updated yesterday. Second from the last amongst the C-listers. However, on the detailed page, the numbers have been dropping after midnight. It seemed like it shot up a bit before midnight and then started decreasing. Now you are last on the C-listers. Below you is still that Tang Dazhang, but he's still quite a distance away from you."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye finished his breakfast and paid up. He then went home to take a nap.
He had nothing to do after all. He slept after waking up and woke up after sleeping. He then looked at his watch before going back to sleep.
He slept all the way to night time until Zhang Ye could no longer sleep any further. Sleeping too much gave him a headache. After washing his face with cold water, he was momentarily more awake. He sat in front of the computer and switched on the television to watch the news and surf the internet.
The promotions for the National Crosstalk and Skit Competition were currently in full swing. One could basically see on television, newspapers, the internet news about this competition and its advertisements. Tang Dazhang's face constantly appeared on various media and television. He was probably not the most famous person amongst the judges, as the remaining judges enjoyed a greater esteem than him. For example, there was the oldest veteran artist in the crosstalk world, and a crosstalk artist who had participated in twelve Chinese New Year Galas. Of course, like previous years, the judges definitely had a movie star or singer. It was just not yet announced, and was left as a mystery to whet the appetite of others. In general, this year's Crosstalk and Skit Competition had quite an impressive jury lineup. Just this gold standard of judges was enough to receive the attention of countless number of commoners!
On the web.
With the buzz from last night over, those people, that had been smacked in the face at midnight by Zhang Ye, did not relent. Especially Tang Dazhang's fans and his friends from the crosstalk world. It was as if they could not take this laying down. They had embarrassed themselves greatly yesterday.
A theater's crosstalk actor quipped on Weibo: "@TangDazhang, Old Tang, you will definitely be treating us tomorrow, right? Haha."
Tang Dazhang's disciple, a young crosstalk actor said, "Congratulations Master."
A critic said: "It had profound implications with Teacher Tang Dazhang rising up to the rankings of a C-list celebrity. It is another breakthrough and development for the crosstalk world . It proves that crosstalk has gone from a subculture to something mainstream. It is liked by more and more people!"
There were numerous congratulations.
"Congratulations Teacher Tang. Congratulations to the art of crosstalk!"
"Teacher Tang is creating a brilliant history."
"Back then, crosstalk master, Master Liu failed to reached this level of popularity. For crosstalk to compare with movies or music, it is naturally disadvantaged. It sure wasn't easy for Teacher Tang Dazhang to come this far. Congrats!"
"There will definitely not be a problem today. He will definitely enter the C-list rankings!"
"That's right. The figures on the detailed page shows that Teacher Tang has exceeded Zhang Ye, and has even exceeded him greatly. Today, those fans of Zhang Ye can't remain arrogant anymore! Those who have been banned should know their place. What's the point of popping out all the time? No matter how much you pop out, you can't escape the result of a sharp drop in popularity!"
The rankings had not changed as it was not time for it to be updated. However, from the figures, one could tell that Tang Dazhang had once again exceeded Zhang Ye, pushing Zhang Ye back down to the ranks of the D-listers. The reason why Tang Dazhang's numbers could rise so quickly was mainly because there were advertisements airing on television as well as news portal websites. This exposure constantly made Tang Dazhang rise in popularity. As for Zhang Ye, as he was banned, his popularity was decreasing. One was positive, while the other was negative, so there was naturally a clear difference.
The gap was widening!
It was getting more distant!
Zhang Ye had been overtaken by Tang Dazhang!
The second person on the D-list rankings was a singer who was quite popular. He was also about to chase up to Zhang Ye's ranking, and the difference wasn't that great!
Zhang Ye's fans were silent. They had cheered last night. That sure was a joyful event, as they kept stabbing and smacking the faces of others. Today, none of them said a word, as they still did not know the situation. Actually they knew very well that after Teacher Zhang Ye was banned, his ranking would fall sooner or later.
Seeing how they remained silent, the enemies became more aggressive in their attacks!
"Haha, why aren't they speaking?"
"Weren't all of you feeling powerful yesterday? Weren't you all very arrogant?"
"Zhang Ye is already doomed. Yet, you still can't accept the reality? Do you still not understand the situation? I'm really worried for your intellect!"
"The powers have already announced it. The decree has been passed, yet Zhang Ye still insists on going down his own path. To think he said how he would remain unyielding no matter where the winds blow from? Wasn't this a clear challenge? Then do you think you will enjoy anything?"
"Zhang Ye really doesn't understand the way the world works. When leaders indicate their stance, you have to listen. When the leaders say you are not right, you have to bow your head. What's so hard about that?"
"To survive in the entertainment industry, you have to understand that you have to bow at times, if not, how are you to survive? How can Zhang Ye not even know this?"
"It's make or break, so ignore him."
Actually all along, many people who knew of Zhang Ye's temper found it strange. They wondered why Zhang Ye never accommodated the situations he was placed in. Such a person clearly looked out of place in the entertainment industry!
At almost 11PM.
Suddenly, Zhang Ye's Weibo had an update!
Zhang Ye posted on Weibo: "I had a dream yesterday."
"He has appeared!"
"Zhang Ye has come!"
"Hurry over! See what he has to say!?"
"Am I dreaming? What does this mean?"
Following that, a dream poem appeared!
Poem: "Ocean travelers talk of Yingzhou, yet its mist and waves are hazy – belief in it is hard to find; The people of Yue speak of Tianmu; its red clouds in bright light or darkness might be seen. Tianmu pierces the sky and stretches to the horizon, its power surpasses the Five Peaks and eclipses Chicheng Mountain…."
Dreamed of Mount Tianmu?
This was a poem about traveling immortals?
It was actually in a folk song poem format!
Poem: "On a thousand precipices and in ten thousand valleys, the path is not clear; infatuated by flowers, one leans on a rock; suddenly it is dark. Bears roar and dragons hum, rumbling over precipices and springs; trembling, the deep forests; frightened, the layered summits. Clouds, blackest black, are going to rain; from water most placid, mist rises. Thunder and lightning; hills and mountain ranges are shattered; the stone doors of paradise open with a crash; the dark blue sky is vast and mighty, one cannot see its end; the sun and moon shine brilliantly on gold and silver terraces. A rainbow for clothes, wind for a horse, the Cloud Immortals come down one after another. A tiger strikes the harp, a phoenix rides a chariot; the immortals line up like hemp."
The immortal paradise was vividly described!
Imagery began to open up in front of everyone!
Then the poem had a twist, "Suddenly one's spirit palpitates and one's soul shakes; startled one wakes and takes a deep breath. There is only the pillow and mat when I am awake; gone are the mist and red clouds from before."
The netizens marveled!
After waking up from a dream, so it was all a dream!
Poem: "All earthly pleasures are like this; since ancient times, the myriad things all like water flowing east. One leaves you, sirs – when will one return?"
Was this farewell?
Zhang Ye was bidding farewell with his past?
Then, it was the last two lines of the poem that caused numerous people to have their expressions change!
The final stanza was a nonchalant attitude, "For now, put me amongst white deer in green valleys; one must ride to visit famous mountains. Why should I lower my face and bow for the influential and the rich, and take away my…joyous smile!?"

About the 'Game Changer' Thought Leadership Series
For all of us focused on alliances these are exciting times. Silicon Valley is on fire and we are witnessing a paradigm shift once again. With unimaginable speed and scale, a global digital economy has taken hold and transformed the way we work, interact, and collaborate—and entire value chains are being transformed. The market is rewarding those companies that are able to bring innovation to the edge of the enterprise, and expose it in service channels in myriad forms, like SaaS and PaaS. As a result, both consumers and providers are being forced to a new market definition of products and services and go-to-market strategies. More importantly, it is leading us to game changing business models—which will decide the future winners.
For all of us focused on collaboration models these changes couldn't be more important—these models are dramatically changing also—whether we call them alliances, partners or ecosystems. We want to keep you on top of the changes that affect you professionally, because in this world it's "be disruptive or be disrupted." So we developed the thought leadership Game Changer Thought Leadership Series as part of our new set of program offerings.

Crown Oaks winner Mosheen let the punters down at Flemington today when the short priced favourite was collared on the line by Shopaholic in the Group 3 $150,000 The Vanity (1410m).
Mosheen seemed to have the race well in her keeping when jockey Danny Nikolic let her coast to the front as heads were turned for home but she appeared to be in trouble at the 250m when the challengers started to come.
Craig Williams on Angel Of Mercy was first to attack Mosheen ($1.45 fav) then Dwayne Dunn pushed up the middle of the two fillies and lifted Shopaholic to get her home in a three way photo.
With only a nose and nose separating the three fillies Shopaholic ($14) was able to nudge out the short priced favourite and give trainer Danny O'Brien a good leg up for the rest of the carnival.
"Mosheen was obviously the testing material in the Spring along with Atlantic Jewel but my filly is catching up to them now and she did a very good job," O'Brien said.
"I knew the filly was in great order. She had a nice win first start and has come on super. She got a good ride from Dwayne today, peeled into the right lane, she was tough and applied to the finish."
O'Brien will now head to the Group 2 $180,000 D'Urban Angus Armanasco Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on February 25 and the Group 2 $300,000 Kewney Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on March 10.
"I had a very big opinion of her since she came over from New Zealand. She was travelling well today and I thought I had the Mosheen covered on the home turn and I thought I would pick her up easier than I did and never got to the front until right on the line," Dunn said.

For longtime Death Angel fans, the band's explosive new LP, The Dream Calls for Blood, will be as welcome as a jumbo-size Snickers at snack time; for newbies, it's a crash course in the art of breakneck old-school thrash metal. Helping to set the stage for the Cali veterans are nostalgic Canadian power-metalists 3 Inches of Blood and Boston's Revocation, who offer crystal-clear technical death metal with a fist-pumping edge.

we had to ask the room keeper if he would make some towels animals for my daughter because thats what she saw on 'tv' and by the 3rd night we had to ask
Many of the vacationers found many 'lido' deck staff to be quite rude and nasty
the buffet was not bad....not much if you happen to have a picky eater like mine BUT the head chef was GREAT!!! he was wonderful with her and it really made her feel special she left telling us she was going to marry a chef LOL

We are excited to announce our fourth issue of Hello Mr. and introduce you to our new cover mister, Saeed Jones, photographed by Michael George. Saeed's new book of poetry, Prelude to Bruise, investigates race, sexuality, and his escape from the South. Only after he left for the metropolitan solace of New York City, where he is the LGBT editor at Buzzfeed, did he abruptly realize that digging up his past was his best way forward.
Embracing our histories became a recurring theme in this issue. We reflect on the effects of the classroom through the eyes of two gay educators, one new, the other recently retired. We witness a young man meeting his estranged uncle, musician John Grant, who was disassociated from their family almost 20 years ago and how that experience motivated him to pursue his dream, which now includes collaborations with Sinead O'Connor, Hercules & Love Affair, and music in the acclaimed film Weekend. Similarly, London-based fashion designer Bobby Abley, fled his hometown to explore his passion. Ironically, drawing from childhood classics like The Little Mermaid, his Disney-inspired collections have now become a staple to his identity.
Now matter what our relationship with the past, it is the foundation for who we are. In many ways, this fourth issue marks a return to our roots. In less than two years, Hello Mr. has expanded and evolved in many incredible ways. Through it all, we are constantly considering the mission we set forth to achieve and ultimately how our growth is serving you. It still feels like we're just beginning, and seeing another issue added to the collections on your coffee tables and nightstands is motivation to continue building and moving forward.

Discussion in 'Other Wrestling (US)' started by Prince Bálor, Apr 23, 2016.
That kinda sucks since she is a good talent, but she really hasn't been used that much. I'm okay with her leaving if it means that bring in some other female talent to fill in her place, because we need the Knockout's division to return to what it used to be.
I feel like Velvet is betting on going to WWE to be with Bubba!
It's been known for quite awhile that Velvet was just riding out her contract and had no intentions to re-sign.
Question is where does she go. Does Bubba have enough pull to get her a WWE job or does she end up coming back down the road?
Yeah no shock she's leaving, she was doing nothing at this point and for awhile now. Besides the Knockouts Division needs fresh faces it was time to go. Rayne could be next.
IDGAF she wasn't worth the TV time I skipped over after downloading TNA. Everyone is bailing on TNA, but who cares where she goes?
Nobody's really surprised at this given that she's bumping uglies with Bubba Ray Dudley. And at this point I apologise for that mental image. We all know where she'll most likely end up, provided Bubba has enough pull. But then again, does anybody really care about Velvet Sky anymore?
Meh, I don't really care about her tbh. I think they could put that money towards some different talent.
It is sad to see so many familiar TNA faces leaving though. I guess TNA's new signings (Pepper Parks, Cherry Bomb etc.) from the indies who I haven't seen much of could evolve into memorable characters like EC3 and Spud but I'd like to see TNA try to combine getting indie wrestlers who might not necessarily be on the WWE's radar with actually picking up anyone who WWE releases because they are loaded with talent, although that depends on TNA's finances, I suppose.
Mehhhh another TNA loss... What else is new in the world?

Mohali, March 26: Pakistan Captain Shahid Afridi is itching to go hammer and tongs at the Indian batsmen in Wednesday, March 30's semi-final encounter between the two sides. In so doing, he plans to stop batting maestro Sachin Tendular from reaching his much-anticipated 100th international century.
"Sachin will have to wait until after the World Cup for his 100th international century because we are not going to allow either him or any other Indian player to play a big innings," Afridi told a newspaper.
Tendulkar has been in prolific form in the World Cup and
completed 2,000 runs in the tournament earlier in this edition. He has also notched up a total of 18,000 runs in one-dayers in the previous game against Australia. He needs just one more hundred to complete 100 international centuries, the first by any batsman.
Afridi went on to say that he is certain that Pakistan will come out tops in the semi-final. "It is a game of cricket and both teams can lay claim they will win the semifinal but given our current form, I am confident we can beat India," Afridi said.
Afridi also conceded that his team was very much looking forward to facing India. "The players wanted this clash and we are looking forward to it. We know the expectations are high but at the end of the day, I have told the players that the team which controls and keeps its nerves in such a high tension match will prevail."
Afridi also felt that the pressure on India would be far more in the semifinal as compared to Pakistan as they would be playing in front of their home crowd.
"Normally whenever both teams play, there is great pressure because of the high expectations of the people but this time India are playing in front of their home crowd and the pressure will be greater on them," he said.
The flashy all-rounder minced no words to say his players were not feeling the pressure of having to go and play in India after a gap of nearly four years.
"We have a young team and many of our players have not played in India before but it is not a problem for them because they have become used to playing even home matches abroad. I am confident they can handle the pressures of playing in India."
Afridi, meanwhile, also appealed to the fans not to get overwhelmed by the occasion and to treat this high-profile clash between the neighbours as just another
cricket match.

INFOtrac is a great fit for many businesses. Find out if it's the right choice for you! Are you looking for a INFOtrac demo, technical support, product or pricing information or to simply to compare INFOtrac with competitive options? Quickly get answers and the information you need.
Many companies deal with warranty service issues for the items that they sell. Returned Materials can be a consistent source of frustration. Dealing with the business processes associated with RMAs often requires employees to access historical information to verify an item's warranty status, and determine the method of service, repair or replacement that will be required.
RMA processes can be automated through INFOtrac to reduce the amount of time required to verify and process an item through to completion. In addition, information that is collected from RMA data can allow a company to monitor recurring service issues with its products, and provide quantitative information that can be used in supplier negotiations.
Reports regarding product and supplier RMA frequency can be generated for management and allow for proper the analysis of the RMA activity.
Taking the RMA process further, when INFOtrac is connected to your accounting system, it can be setup to allow employees to enter the serial number of the RMA item, so that INFOtrac can access the original sales order information from the customer's purchase, as well as information from the purchase of the item from the supplier. From here, INFOtrac can have the intelligence to know if the item is under warranty so that it can start the RMA process. This can be a huge time saver, as often the information required in such a process can be difficult to retrieve. Faster results for the customer are but a few of the hallmarks of such an INFOtrac solution.
"RMA Management" is part of the INFOtrac line of products, developed by DSM Data Systems Marketing.

A 14-year-old Sandhurst girl has been charged after a brick was thrown from a bridge over the M3 motorway.
She was jointly charged with a 12-year-old boy from Farnborough with damaging property with intent to endanger life. Neither can be named for legal reasons.
The charges follow an incident on Sunday, May 4, when an object was hurled from Medway Drive side of Fintry Walk bridge in Farnborough.
It struck the roof of an Iveco cargo lorry which was travelling on the southbound carriageway. No one was hurt in the incident.
They were bailed to appear at Basingstoke Youth Court, in Hampshire, today (May 14).

After waiting not so patiently for months, I feel like I can finally announce one of my favorite things, Spring is Springing! And Knitty.com agrees! Today their new issue went live and we welcome their Spring + Summer 2014 collection which features my design and pattern: Carousel!
A whirling dervish of a knit that is not only worked in the round, Carousel can be worn differently by turning it around and around with a neckline that pirouettes according to your whim.
Worked outwards from a center cast on, Carousel is comprised of 4 cabled panels for the front and back. Once these four panels have grown to the appropriate size, each panel is placed on a holder, and the front and back are joined by uniting the matching pairs. Each of the four parts are again worked in the round to create sleeves, a hem, and a collar any way you spin it.
Perfectly symmetrical when finished, the charts may look complicated but once in the rhythm, Carousel flies off the needles. Lightweight and breezy, this is a merry-go-round of a knit, perfect for warmer days.
A really fun piece to knit, and the color is right on trend for the Spring 2014 season.
Sweater: Carousel Pullover, by Julie LeFrancois, available for free in the Spring + Summer 2014 issue of Knitty.com
- Dress: Condesa Maxi Dress, Anthropologie. No longer available.

A Mission Trip to Romania!
A group from our church is going on a mission trip to Romania in June. We have a family that attends our church that is from there and is going to take the group over. They will be building a church as well as visiting an orphanage to help at. It is a 10 day mission trip...and although I would love to go...especially to help at the orphanage...those sweet children....I could never leave my kids for 10 days....that would just be WAY too difficult. However....when they announced the trip...my husband felt the push to go. He has never been away from us that long before....but I really believe God is calling him to go. We have prayed about it and continue to pray about it!
We have to raise at least $1,000 for him to go. I know we can do it...and I am not worried because I know God provides! :) We will be participating in fund raisers with our church and doing some extra work that we can to earn it. Also....my sister has really cute mittens and pottery and things for sale at her etsy shop. And from what she sells, she is donating 10% to Chris's mission trip fund. Every little bit helps and I appreciate her support! (So go check out her stuff...you may find something awesome to have for yourself and in the meantime be supporting my hubby's mission trip!)
I am 100% supporting my husband on this and am super excited for him. I am excited for everything they will be doing in Romania and the lives that they will touch for Jesus! I ask for prayer for us on this...I have never been away from chris for that long before..and it will be hard for us. However, the blessings totally outweigh the negatives! God hears His people and every prayer sent up is really appreciated by both Chris and I. Thanks so much! :)

Praise and Worship
I LOVE praise and worship time. I love to just sing to my heavenly father. (i do NOT have a good singing voice...but I don't think He minds!) LOL One of my favorite things to do during the day is turn on some praise and worship music and just sing out to the Lord while doing my housework, dishes or folding laundry etc. It makes my time soo valuable and meaningful. I really really enjoy it! AND...as a bonus, a lot of the times, my kids will come in and sing and dance along with it as well. There is nothing better for a child to hear than love and praise being sung to our Lord! :)
Some different artists I love to listen to for P and W music are: Jeremy Camp, Third Day, Todd Agnew, Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, the WOW worship music CDs, Point of Grace....oh gosh, i am sure there are a few I am forgetting! LOL But I have to say...spending time in praise and worship really improves the quality of your day! And hearing my kids sing some of the songs just randomly through the day really blesses me.
You know, I don't put P and W music on everyday....I get busy or just don't turn it on...but I think I am going to try to make sure I get some in EVERY day...I think it is a daily dose of love that I need to be giving to our Maker! So....I would love to hear how you have praise and worship and what artists or songs you like! Please share with me!!! :)

Dave Ramsey
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Matthew 6:24
"People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." 1 Timothy 6:9-10
Have you heard of Financial Peace University? It is hosted by Dave Ramsey. It is a 13 week course set up to get you out of debt (it is a GREAT course even if you don't have any debt though). It teaches you how to manage your money in a way that is pleasing to God. HERE is an overview of the 13 lessons (one a week). We just finished up our 13th class last evening at our church. It was awesome. Of all the lessons...the last one is my favorite.
Everything we have belongs to God....we are to be good stewards of the things (and money) we are given or earn. We shouldn't be in debt. We shouldn't be needing a ton of material things. Financial hardships are one of the biggest reasons that couples get divorced. Being on the road to fiancial freedom can not only bring peace for you financially...but it can save your marriage as well. What a blessing! I encourage EVERYONE to check this program out. My husband and I weren't even in a lot of debt...but we learned sooo much from this program! I am telling you that it will change you! If you want to be pleasing to God...make sure you are handling His money and things correctly. This course will bless you. I guarantee it.
If you have any questions...please feel free to ask me! :) Also....if you have already taken this course, i would LOVE to hear your experience with it!
"Then [Jesus] said to them, 'Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.'" Luke 12:15
"I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of contentment in every situation, whether it be a full stomach or hunger, plenty or want; for I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power." Philippians 4:12-13

Her First Sleepover!
M had her first sleepover last night at a friend's house. OK...not her FIRST sleepover because she has had lots of sleepovers at my parents' or my inlaws' houses etc. But this was her very first sleepover at a friend's house! We know and trust the parents...so we were totally good with it...but I was nervous that once night time fell...she would get scared not being somewhere familiar. But we never got a call last night so...I guess she is doing fine. I am going to pick her up later this afternoon. I look forward to hearing how it went....building forts, playing dolls, giggling and such. Oh the fun of being little again!
I am almost in tears though at the thought that my sweet baby girl is now 6 (and a HALF) and in school and having sleepovers. The time just flew by it seems. My boys are growing so fast too. You know, when I was a kid...the time seemed to drag on. LOL I felt like I was going to be a kid forever! But watching childhood from this vantage point makes it seem like it goes in the blink of an eye! I am really cherishing my children's young years! :)
OH~ Great grandma is all moved in to the home across the street and we went and visited with her. I reassured her that I am right across the street if she ever needs me. I will be visiting her often. I didn't stay long yesterday though because I had little J with me and there were other people there with her as well...and it just seemed to be really overwhelming for her....so I will go again here soon. Thanks so much for all the well wishes and shared happiness with me! :)

A Desire To Serve....accompanied by confusion...
I want to be as pleasing to God as I possibly can be. I know I falter in many ways...however...I have been trying and praying and doing the best i possibly can. However...I just feel so confused and unsure about things. I have read many blogs that say women should be dressed modestly. I agree. However....these blogs also say that even jeans are inappropriate! If I had a thin and petite body....I would be thrilled to wear dresses..but I do not..and I would honestly look ridiculous in a dress. I don't wear revealing clothing and I have always thought I dress modest enough. And now I cringe at the thought of displeasing God because I am not being "feminine" enough. I feel so confused.
I usually wear a pair of jeans and a shirt. I don't wear tight fitting clothes or skimpy things. I have always thought of this as being modestly dressed. I want the Lord to be pleased with me....and now I just am so not sure of what to do?
And then the whole homeschooling issue. I have prayed a lot about it and am still going back and forth on it! I just have NO idea what He wants us to do. I want to do what He wants....and I can't decide on which way is better?
I know that our Lord is not a God of confusion...but I just feel so lost on it all. So...if I may...I ask for prayer. I would like a clear head about all the things I feel so confused about and His guidance and direction on things. Thank you so much. I would really appreciate it.
Also...any input you have..i would love to hear. Thank you!!!

An Answer To Prayer!
My Great Grandmother (who is 93) was in a small care home that extended family owns. (So extended...I don't even know them...LOL) My sister has a pic of Grandma HERE. Well, this small care home was far away from all of us....making it hard to go visit her. (And we all LOVE her sooo much!) Our neighbors have a small personal care home right across the street from us. We love our neighbors. They are wonderful and their care home is GREAT! Well, they had an extra room and after much praying and convincing her son (my grandpa) that she needs to be up here closer to all of us...she is being moved!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOO! I am sooo happy!
She will be moving at the first of the month! I can't wait. She hasn't been eating while there and other stuff...and now, she will have visitors constantly and I bet she will eat....now that people who love her can be around her etc.
Another WONDERFUL thing about this is that it is a GREAT way to GLOW from my home! I plan on cooking/baking and taking it over to the ladies who are all there in the care home across the street. Visiting with grandma and all the other ladies will be so wonderful! I should already be going over now...even though grandma isn't there yet....just to show the other ladies some care and love in Christ! Just listening to their stories and things they want to talk about can really show them that you care! If you go to Monica's BLOG she talks about listening to people's stories!
I am so excited to use this as a way to GLOW for Christ! :) I want to encourage everyone who reads this to go to a care home near you somewhere....get to know the people. I know some of them are very lonely and just want to feel loved and cared about. What a great way to radiate Christ's love to those around us!

Menu Plan......Wednesday??
Yes, I know....alot of people participate in the Menu Plan Monday that is organized by the Org. Junkie (link on my sidebar). I, however, menu plan every 2 weeks starting on Wednesday. Chris has 2 jobs and gets paid for one of them every other Wednesday. So, I take $150 of that as cash from the bank and do our grocery shopping for 2 weeks. I menu plan 2 weeks ahead! It is really nice to do....it keeps you so much more organized plus...helps you save money when you go grocery shopping because you know just what you need. I write up my grocery list according to the menu plan!
First off, I want to show you a pic of my newly organized food cupboard. I was going to take a BEFORE pic...but the batteries for my camera were charging...so I couldn't....but here is the AFTER pic!
The white basket at the top holds different snack items that had big boxes....so i put them in there for better storage! Also...notice all the snack foods are up on the top shelf. That is on purpose....so my kids don't just take things without asking....LOL
Here is my new thing i just started. Normally I wrote all my daily menus in my daily planner.....at the bottom of each day. Well, I had this extra family calendar and decided to use it as my menu planner calendar instead! It works well. The columns are labeled at the top: MEAT, STARCH, VEGGIE, DESSERT, OTHER. I hung it inside the door of our food cupboard! That way when making my list up to go grocery shopping....I can look on the menu planner and see what i have in my cupboard all at the same time :) . It works nicely for us!!! I would love to hear what you all do to plan your meals!!! :)

Our first young women's fellowship meeting...
Well...I am thinking the YWF (Young Women's Fellowship) idea that I had talked about in THIS post is a go!!! :) I am so excited. I have so many ideas swirling around in my head. I was thinking about doing a pink/brown theme for our first meeting in February. (I hope i can get this all together by then...LOL) I got my latest issue of Country Living Magazine and on the cover were chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting....PERFECT! So I plan on making those....and maybe trying to find some cheap fabric to use for table cloths. I need lots more ideas.....so if you have any...please let me know. The only thing is that I think I will be paying for stuff out of my pocket...so i am trying to be as frugal and simple as possible while still making it super nice and creative...know what i mean?
As my sister had suggested, I may get a bunch of blank cards and we can all sit around and decorate them to send to people who are going through trials right now in there lives. Or...this meeting may just be an ice breaker type of meeting cuz not everyone in our age group really knows everyone else....and i want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy it. So...again..any ideas you have..please throw them at me and thank you in advance! :)
OH...and just have to throw this in...i redesigned my sister's blog for her. It isn't perfect...but I think it totally suits her and is cute! If you have time...check it out and let me know what you think!!! Also...take a look at the mittens she makes..she has an etsy shop! They are AWESOME! :) Hope you all have a GREAT day!!!

Do you have trouble praying in front of others? I used to. I used to feel unqualified and super uncomfortable praying out loud in front of anyone...including my hubby. I am an extrovert and chatty even..and i just felt completely out of place trying to pray with others.
However, lately, my relationship with God has been growing and getting stronger. At night, I actually lay in bed and pray aloud to Him. I really love praying out loud. When i first started, I felt weird and silly and then I realized that i am talking to my LORD! How awesome is that? We can have a direct talk with the Creator of the Earth!
Chris and I started at the New Year, doing devotions early in the morning together before the kids get up. We lay in bed together (bad breath and all...LOL) and one of us reads the devotion for the day and then we discuss it. Then the other person prays aloud. I realized praying and talking to God shouldn't be an embarrassing and scary thing to do in front of others. It is such a gift to be able to cry out and worship our Creator directly!
Now, I am not embarrassed to pray with anyone. It doesn't take certain qualifications or anything. It just takes a open and loving heart and spirit. I bring this up because I know it is something I have faltered with in the past and as we are on our mission to GLOW and show people Christ's love...there may be times when praying aloud with someone may be needed! I want to encourage you in your prayer time. First...during your own personal prayer time...speak out loud to him. You don't have to yell...but verbally speak to Him. If you don't already, pray aloud with your husband. This is such a wonderful thing to do together and I can't even explain to you how much it blesses Chris and I.
You CAN pray with someone aloud....just talk to God and praise Him and make your requests known to Him. He does listen..and He loves you! Keep reminding yourself of that! (I definitely have to remind myself of that often) Sometimes we are called to pray for someone...bring us out of our comfort zone and show our faith and obedience. So, if you feel God calling you to pray with someone or someone asks you to pray for and with them....you CAN do it!!!
I would love to hear about your feelings on this and if you need prayer....let me know! I will be more than glad to pray for you! Although, i can't be there to pray with you...be assured your name will be written in my prayer journal and prayed over. Blessings to you all! xoxo

Ways to GLOW
I think that sums it up. Giving of ourselves is a way to light up the world for Jesus! So...how can we do this? A few ideas I have come up with (and have as well as plan on implementing) are:
~ Sending letters/cards
~ Sending emails
~ Baking for our neighbors or people who don't bake for themselves
~ Shoveling snow/raking leaves/weeding gardens
~ Cooking a meal for a family with someone who is ill or just had a baby
~ Pray with someone
~ Sew/knit/create something for someone just to put a smile on their face
~ Just sit and talk with someone...sometimes people just need someone to listen
That is my list so far. I 100% plan on doing these things and starting up our young women's fellowship to do it as well. I totally plan on brightening days, putting smiles on faces and making as many people as possible feel loved by Jesus and us women who serve Him! As I do things, I will document it and try to share it with you! :)
I would love to hear any other ideas you all have. I want a variety of things so everyone who wants to GLOW can participate! Thanks so much in advance for any ideas you girls offer up! Blessings!
Look at the beautiful button my friend, Mandie, made for me!!! Isn't it AWESOME??
Thank you so much Mandie!!! I love it! If you haven't yet...you totally need to check out her BLOG! It is fantastic!!!! Also...feel free to snag the button if you want to add it to a post or your blog somewhere!

I am reading the book Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy. It is a wonderful story about the shootings in an Amish Schoolhouse in Nickelmines, PA in October of 2006. I am sure you all remember that day. So tragic and sad....and yet...the Amish forgave. Such a loving spirit they have in their community!
So...as I am reading I come to a place where it says that an acronym that is posted in the Amish Schoolhouses is JOY. Jesus first, Others next, Yourself last. WOW!!!! I absolutely LOVE that! Isn't that just incredibly true?? I mean, I already try to do this in my life...but I just never put it together as JOY. But what a great way to remember when you are tempted to do something that is not pleasing to God...just think of JOY and hopefully it will help you make the right decision! Jesus ALWAYS is first. We must always think and put others before ourselves....and then us last. Maybe some of you have already heard that acronym before...but i hadn't and just thought it was lovely and I wanted to share!
If you are interested in reading a little about the Amish beliefs and how they differ from Evangelical Christians...you can go HERE. Well, i haven't finished the book yet...but I really am enjoying it. It is so touching and such a wonderful reminder of love and forgiveness. Has anyone else read this? I would love to hear your thoughts! :) I hope you have a blessed Tuesday!

Let's Glow, shall we?
**Before we discuss our Glowing for Jesus...I wanted to share this pic with you!
Don't I just have the cutest cowboys? heehee. I love this pic. X is in his chore clothes that he wore when he and daddy went out and fed the animals this morning..and J is still in his PJs...LOL.
**I REALLY want to make the Glow From Your Home idea into something. I think we could visit older folks in their homes or at a nursing home. Chat with them. Bake them cookies. Play games.
We could also send cards to people who are sick, feeling low or just anyone in general. Who doesn't like to know people are praying for them? :)
There are sooo many things we can do. I would love (if you girls want to) if you would all make a post and display the button on it....explain what it means to glow from your home for Jesus. And please link them back to my GLOW post! I would love to see what other people have to say and ideas and really get this globe radiating Christ's love!!!
Do you remember the Young Women's Fellowship i had talked about? Well, I plan on incooperating the Glow From Your Home Idea into that as well!!! Let's really reach out to those around us and let them see our love for them and for Jesus.
Matthew 25:34-40
"Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry, and ye fed Me: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me. Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me."
This is is what Jesus calls us to do. Reach out to others! Remember...what you do for others, you are doing for Him. So if you can..please post about this on your blog and let's get as many people glowing as we can and reaching out in Jesus' name!

Glow From Your Home!
This is a saying, common on Mary Engelbreit art, as well as on my prayer journal.
Bloom Where You're Planted!
I think this can really be a great quote for some of us stay at home moms. Let me elaborate! :) I used to think that since I was a SAHM that I couldn't touch the world for Jesus. I felt like I couldn't do all the wonderful things He wanted me to do. However, I looked up exactly what BLOOM means and here it is:
- To shine; glow.
- To grow or flourish with youth and vigor.
A way I try to glow from my home is sending cards out to people. Just totally random. Just a thinking of you/praying for you card. I send to whomever God lays on my heart. I feel this is one way He can use me.
What are some ways you "Glow from your home"? Can you imagine the effect it could have on unbelievers if we had more homes glowing consistently? If you feel like you can't touch others from your home....you are mistaken. I challenge you to recognize that God planted you where you are for a reason and never forget that. Please sign up on Mr.Linky and share with us how you Glow From Your Home! Also...please take a button to add to the sidebar of your blog so maybe we can get more people glowing for Him!

Prayer Journal
This is my prayer journal (a Mary Engelbreit one, of course LOL). I write in it the things I need to pray for each day so nothing or noone gets forgotten when I go to the Lord in prayer. It really is a valuable tool to keep you focused when praying (at least for me).
Two things I have been praying alot about lately are 1. a young women's fellowship and 2. to homeschool or not to homeschool.
First..at our church we have a Women's fellowship and we meet once a month and have snacks and do games or watch a christian movie or something like that. It is such a great time. But I felt the need (not sure whether to do a bible study with it or just a once a month fellowship time) to get the younger women of the church (like, ages 20-30) together in addition to the Women's fellowship that meets. I think it would be great for us to create relationships and better bonds between ladies of our own age group. I went to my aunt on Sunday (she helps head the women's fellowship) and asked what she thought about that...and she said it was funny i asked because at their last Women's Fellowship meeting they had been talking about something similar! So, I am praying about what God wants to do with this and what the best way to do it is.
And then the homeschool issue. My daughter, M, is the only one in school right now. She is in Kgarten and has a christian teacher and is doing great. The school is pretty small (she would probably have around 100 or so in her graduating class). But homeschooling has been on my heart lately. I don't know if it is God's leading or just my selfish human desire to try and do "the best thing" (in some people's opinion). I am so not sure what to do....so i have been in prayer about that. If I do homeschool....i would start next year. I was not homeschooled. I think there are pros and cons to both sides of it.....but anyway....i guess that is just why I am seeking God's will with it :).
Do any of you have a prayer journal? I know some people have handmade theirs. I like my Mary Engelbreit one though. LOL I would love to hear about or see any you all have...if you want. I hope you all have a fantastic Thursday!!! xoxo

My Latest WIP
Here is my lastest work in progress. It is a Mary Engelbreit cross stitch. I still have a whole other row of boxes to go along the bottom and a few on the left as well! I had started this a while back...but had Christmas gifts to get done....so I had put this aside. Now that Christmas is over...I have begun to work on it again! :) I am doing this one to put in my bathroom! You can see some pics of it HERE and here are a couple more recent ones:
My bathroom is still a work in progress itself! LOL But it is coming along well! :) I just love the colors. They are so cheerful! :) Happy Wednesday! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

My Home Organization Binder
So, i have seen many home binders over the internet...and I decided to make one of my own. (I covered our last name though on this pic for obvious reasons). This is where I keep my cleaning plans, meal planning ideas, important phone numbers (family, friends and emergency numbers), recipes for homemade cleaners, and such! I will make sections for Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving as well...to keep them organized and places to write down how we can focus on these holidays with values.....keeping Christ the center of each holiday! :)
Here are a few of the pics I took of it (i didn't take pics of the pages with phone numbers on them...again..for obvious reasons) I am still putting it together as it is a long process! I want to do a section for our budget as well....so we keep each months budget in there for a year so we can refer back to it, see what changes need to be made etc.
First, I started with verses. I printed this out from somewhere online...but all it is is Proverbs 31 (I actually need to do it over for myself and reprint it...but my printer is being difficult lately!) Sorry it is blurry...but you get the idea. You could make your own just by looking up Proverbs 31 in your bible! :)
Then there is a numerous page GRAND cleaning plan! I adapted it from one i found while searching the net. I would love to give credit to the original writer of it...but i can't find the site I got it from....everyone can make their own or find one on the net to adapt for your own home! This is a huge cleaning plan that basically covers every inch of your home.
Then I have my weekly cleaning plan. This helps me keep organized on when to get certain things done. When I am super busy..I don't always follow this to a T...but it is still nice to have an outline to follow when I can!
Then I made a page of homemade cleaners (I will be adding more to my list...homemade cleaners save money and are much better for the environment!) Gosh...I am soo not sure why my pics came out so blurry! Sorry!!
This is a home inventory list. I haven't really filled this out yet..but thought it was a good idea to have one! Then you know what you have...when you got it etc. You can keep warranty info or instruction books for your appliances etc in a folder in this section as well if you want!
Meal Planning! I am a huge supper planner. I plan our suppers 2 weeks in advance. This makes grocery shopping easy. Sometimes, though, i can't think of anything to make...so I made myself a list (that i will continually add to as i accumulate more recipes) of different supper options to choose from! I also put in this section a folder with different take out menus in there and a page of our favorite take out places phone numbers.....this makes them easily accessible when we need them! :)
These pages are from magazines. Cleaning, decorating ideas....stain removal tips etc. Just favorite pages of mine in some of my magazines! I got my idea from THIS blog. Of course, i did my a bit differently but the general idea came from her!
So those are some of my pages of my binder. This pic above though shows my planner. Some people incorporate their daily planner in their binder. I do not. I write my meals for each day in here, chores, bdays, appts, etc all in here! This is a planner i can take places with me and write things in etc. This is just my preference. The binder is big and bulky and i like it just being at home (keeping important info!). Also...HERE is a source for some home notebook printables and ideas. Also...if you google "organizational binder" or something similar...you will come up with a lot of great info!!!
So there you have it. I just wanted to share it with you! Do you have a home binder and/or planner? I would love to hear about it! What are some ways you keep organized?

Too much of a good thing?
So, as some of my faithful readers know, I am a fan of Mary Engelbreit stuff! I just love her art! It is so fun, creative and cute! Along with a lot of her artwork comes different quotes....and this is one of my favorites:
"Too much of a good thing is WONDERFUL!" ~Mae West
Of course, everytime i read this quote...i always think about how wonderful unlimited quantities of icecream would be! LOL Not so good for the waistline though. Then I decided to think about this spiritually. The only true good thing in this world is our Lord Jesus. His love for us, his sacrifice and his care for us. Too much of Him is never enough. Too much of him is wonderful! How truly blessed and loved are we that our God loved us sooo much that He gave His son for us....and Jesus died to save us that we may live eternally with Him in Heaven. What a wonderful Father we have! So....if I change that quote around a bit with how I see this quote spiritually....it would say:
"Too much of Jesus is Eternal!" ~Katy
Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday! I am grateful for everyone I have met and will meet in blogland!!! xoxo

Sew Happy!
Here is a pic of my sewing machine! Isn't it great?? I just love it..but have NO idea how to thread it at all. (notice the dust around it....showing signs of no use? LOL) I really want to learn how to sew clothes and curtains and much more! The possiblities are endless! My MIL's mom had a machine similar to mine...so she is going to come over and teach me how to thread it! :) I can't wait. I am so excited to make my first creation. Even if i mess it up....i am excited to try it out and practice! Do any of you sew? I would love to know what you have sewn. Also...any tips for a newbie sewer??

Issues configuring a NAT on 4510R
I have a 4510R-E with a Sup engine 6E, running cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz-122-53.SG, and can't seem to get the NAT configured. Every time time I type in ip nat inside on an interface, or try and set up the nat pool, it comes back with an unrecognized command. If I type in ip nat stat, or translations, it will show empty, so I knows of nat, but will not let me configure it. I know it has to be something simple that I am missing. But it is a Friday, and I am kinda tired, and yes ip routing is enabled. Suggestions?
