The invention generally relates to authenticating with a resource, e.g., user login for resource access, and more particularly to providing a front-end to process certain authentication requests, such as ones from an extranet, to allow the front-end to facilitate avoiding authentication lockouts.
Corporations and other entities often have bifurcated networks comprised of an "intranet" and an "extranet." An intranet is generally accessible only by the corporation's employees, associates, and machines having authorization to access the intranet. An extranet is generally considered to be a network portion that is not directly part of the intranet, but that is communicatively coupled with the intranet and an external network, such as the Internet, through a firewall or other security barrier. An outsider, e.g. an entity of the external network, seeking access to an externally facing application or intranet resources may contact an extranet server which would prompt the outsider for security credentials, e.g., a username and password for an authorized account, that would be evaluated to determine the outsider's authorization to access the intranet.
Often, the extranet authentication infrastructure maintains user accounts duplicating valid accounts on the intranet to enable intranet users to use outward facing applications by validating against a duplicate set of security credentials. But, while this may enable use of the extranet application by intranet users, significant password synchronization problems may result. In addition, there may be difficulty in propagating new accounts between intranet and extranet servers. One common solution to these problems is to have the extranet application server pass security credentials which are directly validated against an authentication server for the intranet, e.g., the intranet's login server. This configuration removes the risk that the intranet and extranet servers may be out of sync, and other problems.
Unfortunately, by effectively allowing access to the intranet's authentication server from the extranet, the intranet becomes susceptible to attack, such as a denial of service attack. For example, most authentication servers only allow a certain number of improper authentication attempts, such as three attempts, before an account is blocked. Thus, if the extranet is allowed direct access to the intranet authentication server, an external malicious party can block network access for an employee, such as a high level executive, simply by intentionally performing incorrect extranet-based authentication requests. Lockouts may also occur in the process of performing a brut-force password-cracking attempt.
The features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention in which:
An external machine 106 on the external network, such as a client computer, handheld device, etc., may seek access to intranet 104 resources, such as resources of an intranet server (not illustrated), through the extranet 102. The external machine is communicatively coupled with an application 108 that has an external facing interface reachable over the public network. For example, the application may be an "ebusiness" application, business-to-business (B2B) application, accounting program, application for traveling employees, a web server, or other application to which authorized intranet users may require access externally. It will be appreciated that the application may reside on a machine on the intranet, extranet, or external network, with appropriate communication links (or tunnels) provided to allow resource access.
As will be discussed further below, the application 108 is configured to authenticate the external machine 106 (or user thereof), before allowing the external machine access to intranet 104 resources. Towards this end, the application 108 is communicatively coupled with an authentication front-end 110 which operates to receive authentication information, e.g., security credentials, from the application 108 and present the security credentials to an internal authentication system 112 of the intranet, such as a login server or other account authenticator. In one embodiment, the authentication front-end is a proxy for the internal authentication system.
However, rather than simply forwarding the security credentials to the internal authentication system 112, instead the authentication front-end 110 first queries the authentication system to determine login rules and/or a current status for the security credentials to make sure a login attempt does not risk locking out the security credentials due to excessive invalid authentication attempts. For example, if the external machine 106 attempts to access the intranet 104 with a user identifier "Joe" and a password "Secret" as security credentials, the external machine provides these credentials to the application 108, which provides them to the authentication front-end. The authentication front-end then queries the authentication system 112 for information relating to the credentials to determine whether a lockout condition may occur.
Assume a security policy allows three incorrect logins before locking out an account. The authentication front-end may determine, for example, that two previous incorrect attempts have occurred, and thus a third invalid attempt would result in locking out the account. The authentication front-end may then decide to generate a login error to the external machine, as if the security credentials had been provided to the authentication system, but without having actually risked their presentation. Thus, if the "Joe" account is under attack from the external network 100, Joe will nonetheless still be able to log in from the intranet, while leaving extranet access denied. It will be appreciated that various policies or decision systems can be employed to determine if and when to resume extranet access to a particular account. For example, a time out period may be employed, an administrator may be required to review the lockout and approve extranet reinstatement, the account owner may be sent a message requesting the account owner to validate the extranet access attempts when back on the intranet (e.g., the account owner may be requested to acknowledge that the account owner was the source of the extranet authentication failures before extranet access is allowed), etc.
It will be appreciated that various technologies may be employed to allow the authentication front-end 110 to access information relating to the credentials to determine whether a lockout condition may occur. For example, in one embodiment, the internal authentication system 112 is based on a Microsoft Active Directory Server (or equivalent), and the authentication front-end operates as a proxy for the directory server and is thus able to query the directory server for account status information. In one embodiment, the authentication front-end 110 utilizes the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) (see Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 2251-2254) to query the directory server for lockout conditions for the security credentials. In another embodiment, the authentication front-end utilizes the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Telecommunication Union (ITU) X.500 standard to query the directory server. Note that even though the application 108 and front-end 110 are shown separately, it will be appreciated they may be embodied within a single machine 114 or implemented as a single application program (the dashed lines represent potential combination).
In the illustrated embodiment, security boundary 116 defines a boundary between the external network 100 and the extranet 102, and may be implemented with a firewall or other gateway to limit communication between the external machine 106 and the application 108. Similarly, in the illustrated embodiment, there is a security boundary 118 defining a boundary between the extranet and the intranet 104. It will be appreciated that the authentication front-end 110 may operate in conjunction with various authentication protocols, including Radius, Kerberos, and other authentication infrastructures.
After the application 108 provides the security credentials 204, the application forwards the credentials 206 to an authentication front-end 110. Note that the credentials 204, 206, while having different reference numerals, may be the same credentials, e.g., the forwarded credentials 206 may be identical to the received credentials 204; alternatively, the application may alter or change the credentials before forwarding them on, such as to convert or transcode between different authentication systems. Thus, in one embodiment, the application operates to convert or transcode between authentication systems to allow a new incompatible protocol, or an older disused protocol, to be used.
As discussed above for
The authenticator sends a response 210 indicating the current state of the account. For example, assuming lockouts are based on the number of invalid attempts, the response could indicate the account is allowed three invalid login attempts, and that two invalid login attempts have been recorded. If the account is not at threshold risk, then the authentication front-end 110 may present security credentials 212 to the internal authenticator 112. As discussed above, it will be appreciated that the provided security credentials 212 may be received security credentials 204, or modified security credentials. The internal authenticator sends a response 214, which may a grant of access, or a denial of access. This grant or denial will be cascaded 216, 218 with appropriate security credential modifications or conversions, if necessary, back to the external machine.
An external machine 106 seeks to access resources on an intranet, and initiates 300 a communication session with an application having an externally facing interface. In one embodiment, the application may receive contact from both an intranet and an external network, and thus a test is performed to determine if 302 the contact is from an external network. If external, the application responds 304 with an authentication request for the external machine to identify itself, e.g., to proffer security credentials. In response, the external machine provides 306 security credentials.
It will be appreciated that a variety of application programs and/or hardware may be engaged in the exchange of security credentials. For example, the external machine may be a computing device operating an Internet-type browser, and the application may be a public portion of an Internet web server. The browser may contact the web server, receive an instruction to display a username/password dialog box, in response to which a user of the external machine fills in requested credentials and submits the credentials back to the web server. Or, the external machine's operating system may be attempting to establish an encrypted or secure tunnel, and the application may be a publicly accessible virtual private network (VPN) server. Or, well-known authentication systems for use over conventional physically insecure networks may be modified to implement disclosed embodiments. (See
The provided 306 security credentials are then forwarded 308 to an authentication front-end 110 which attempts to query 310 an internal authenticator to determine whether attempting to validate the provided 306 security credentials risks locking out the account identified in the security credentials. If 312 the account is at risk of being locked out, then the authentication front-end returns 314 an authentication error to the external machine without having actually formally attempted to validate the security credentials with the internal authenticator. If 312 the account is not at risk, then the provided 306 security credentials are sent 314 to the internal authenticator for authentication. The internal authenticator responds 318 indicating authentication success or failure. However, it is known even if authentication fails due to a malicious attack from the external network, the account remains accessible from the intranet.
If 302 the communication initiation was not from an external source, then conventional authentication 320 may be performed, e.g., the operations of boxes 304, 306, 316, and 318 without using an authentication front-end to pre-validate login.
Kerberos operates by providing principals (users or services, e.g., of external machine 106) with "tickets" used to identify themselves, and cryptographic keys for securing communication. In one embodiment, Kerberos is modified to recognize zones from which authentication is being attempted, e.g., to recognize authentication over an intranet, e.g.,
Security credentials are received 400, for example, incident to entering a user name and password to login to external machine 106. A test is performed to determine if 402 the contact is from an external source, e.g., the external network. If authorization is attempted from an extranet, a check 404 is performed to determine whether attempting to authenticate the security credentials may result in an account lockout. As discussed above, in one embodiment, a Microsoft Active Directory Server or other device tracking account status data such as login policies, the number of invalid login attempts, etc. may be queried. If pre-authentication is being used, this check 404 is made before Kerberos attempts to pre-authenticate the login, as pre-authentication failure can incur a lockout. In one embodiment, the Kerberos server may incorporate Microsoft Active Directory Server services and be able to directly determine risk of lockout, e.g., the Active Directory Service is acting as the store that contains state data about lockout conditions.
If 406 there is a lockout risk, then an authentication error is returned 408 without actually attempting the Kerberos authentication process. If lockout is not a risk, then authentication may occur normally. That is, the external machine contacts 410 an initial ticketing server such as a Kerberos Initial Ticketing Service (KITS), or, in a Windows environment such as Windows 2000, contacts the nearest Active Directory Key distribution center (KDC). To prevent password guessing, the KITS/KDC may send the external machine pre-authentication data, such as a random sequence that has been encrypted with a secret key associated with the login credentials. When received 412, the external machine must decrypt the pre-authentication data to prove 414 it knows the correct password. After supplying this proof, the external machine identifies 416 to a Ticket Granting Server a server it wishes to contact, e.g., a server having a desired resource, such as a file, directory, etc. The Ticket Granting Server responds 418 with a session ticket including a unique session key that is dual-encrypted with respect to the login credentials and with a secret key for the server to be contacted.
In one embodiment, rather than modifying an authentication system, e.g. Kerberos or another system, instead the invention operates as a wrapper about the system. That is, the invention may be configured to listen on a communication channel typically used by the authentication system, e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP) port 88 for Kerberos, receive an initial contact from the external machine, perform the preliminary check against a lockout condition, and if no lockout is threatened, then tunnel further authentication communication between the external machine and the authentication system.
If 402 the authentication security credentials were not received from the external network, then authentication proceeds conventionally as discussed above, e.g., as if an account were not at risk for a lockout. It will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that the above Kerberos description leaves out many operational details of Kerberos authentication to facilitate readability. It should further be appreciated that the disclosed principles are applicable to most if not all other authentication systems.
Typically, a machine 500 includes a system bus 502 to which is attached processors 504, a memory 506, e.g., some state preserving medium, storage devices 508, a video interface 510, and input/output interface ports 512. The machine may be controlled, at least in part, by input from conventional input devices, such as keyboards, mice, etc., as well as by directives received from another machine, interaction with a virtual reality (VR) environment, biometric feedback, or other input source or signal.
The machine may include or be embodied in embedded controllers, such as programmable or non-programmable logic devices or arrays, Application Specific Integrated Circuits, embedded computers, smart cards, and the like. The machine may utilize connections to one or more remote machines 514, 516, such as through a network interface 518, modem 520, or other communicative coupling. Machines may be interconnected by way of a physical and/or logical network 522, such as the
The invention may be described by reference to or in conjunction with associated data including functions, procedures, data structures, application programs, etc. which when accessed by a machine results in the machine performing tasks or defining abstract data types or low-level hardware contexts. Associated data may be stored in, for example, volatile and/or non-volatile memory 506, or in storage devices 508 and their associated storage media, including hard-drives, floppy-disks, optical storage, tapes, flash memory, memory sticks, digital video disks, biological storage, etc. Associated data may be delivered over transmission environments, including network 522, in the form of packets, serial data, parallel data, propagated signals, etc., and may be used in a compressed or encrypted format. Associated data may be used in a distributed environment, and stored locally and/or remotely for access by single or multi-processor machines, portable computers, handheld devices, e.g., Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), cellular telephones, tablets, etc.
Thus, for example, with respect to the illustrated embodiments, assuming machine 500 includes the application 108 of

Celebrity For Better or Worse, Mostly Better: Celebrity Millennium Cruise Review by Quasi
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity For Better or Worse, Mostly Better
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
We left the hotel at 11:30AM on a charter bus with our luggage; at the port, our leader got porters to take all of our luggage at once so we didn't have to each deal with that. A short fast moving line got us through security quickly, and we were on board inside of 15 minutes, very fast indeed! Our cabins were not ready at that point, but at 1:30 they announced all cabins were clean & ready. Our luggage arrived a short time later. We had a Concierge Class cabin, near mid-ship, nice size room and nice size balcony. The More shower stall seemed to be larger than on previous ships. Our last Celebrity cruise was also in a Concierge class cabin and I swore I would not do it again, but I did. The 4 PM hoer duerves they brought each day were just not very good, nor very many. The fresh fruit & flowers were so-so. cabin had plenty of space and our stateroom attendant Lydia came by to say hello and did an excellent job all during the cruise.
The Millenium is, what, 6 or 7 years old and showing its age. Rust showing through paint a lot of places and the non-skid surface on the top decks was dirty and worn. They pressure washed our balcony and it broke loose a lot of paint flakes. Don't know why, but carpeting in the main dining room was very rough, felt like they had put carpet over a pile of rocks.
We ate morning and noon meals on the 10th deck buffet, which food was so-so. Plenty of help around to bring coffee and tea, but never saw any of them offer to help elderly folks with their trays. Over-all the food on board was disappointing. Lobster is always a highlight in the main dining room, but they even managed to short change us on that; only half of a small tail, two medium size shrimp and a single scallop. Table service was excellent; Luis from Costa Rica & Barbara from Brazil were great.
We attended some of the theater productions, lavishly produced, but enjoyable I guess. Two comedians, one a female who was hard to understand, and a guy who relied on internet jokes and some old Rodney Dangerfield lines for much of his material. All shows TOO LOUD. Same could be said for all of the acts in the lounges; the RedezVous Lounge was a place we would like to have a quiet drink before dinner, but it was too loud to carry on a conversation. I complained; they apologized, and even gave us a bridge tour, but the music remained TOO LOUD. A barbershop quartet and a 3 piece Russian classical group also played here and there; not my cup of tea and they were also too loud!
The ship docked at all ports, no tenders needed, and they handled everything quickly through the deck one midship facility.
I attended several of the so-called enrichment lectures, several being on cruise ships and others on the history of the Caribbean, all these were quite good and enjoyable.
Over all service on the ship was good, at bars, etc. Drink prices continue to go up, soft drinks $2.30 and premium gin & tonic $8.10. On recent cruises we had been upset by the many money-grabs at things that used to be free, but on this cruise, we did not see that. There was just one premium dining room, the Olympic, which was $35 per. We never have patronized those on ships, but it was tempting, given the so-so food offerings in the main dining room.
Overall, we were pleased with the ship and service, but the food was a big disappointment. Less

The newcomers Ekhraaj and Kahraba are both worth noting, especially the latter as she's a half-sister to a Ribblesdale winner, but the safest option could be to stick with WHISPERED. She failed by the narrowest of margins to catch Jiwen, who has since won again, at Nottingham last time and looks capable of opening her account here. Sohar showed some improvement at Newmarket last month, but both Deck Walk and Cardrona took a step backwards on their latest starts. Kalamkas could prove a bigger threat as she looked one-paced over a mile on her debut and will relish today's longer trip.

A lot of people often ask why Hollywood celebrities always look so great, with their thick hair, sparkling white teeth, and flawless, porcelain skin. Well, it is true that a lot of those factors can be attributed to healthy diets, exercise and simply genetics, but they use other means as well. One good way to look and feel great (and increase your energy) is by using vitamins.
Vitamin E is one of the most popular vitamin supplements that celebrities take. Not only is Vitamin E known for reversing and preventing the signs of aging, it also is a very strong antioxidant. Vitamin E is excellent for the maintenance of healthy skin, a healthy heart and blood cells. Many celebrities also use pure Vitamin E oil and moisturize it around their eye area. This is good to stop the occurrence of crow's feet and lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Another popular vitamin for celebrities is LIPObindVits, a daily vitamin supplement. One of the main goals of LIPObindVits is to maintain and keep the immune system strong and healthy. The great thing about this vitamin is that it compacts all of the key, vital vitamins into one easy capsule. This vitamin also offers benefits for those who are currently trying to lose weight or start a healthier diet, as it helps absorb fat solubles.
Collagen caps are another vitamin that is highly popular with celebrities. The reason it's important to supplement your diet with added collagen is that as we age, our body starts producing less and less collagen. Collagen is vital because it maintains healthy skin and connective tissue. Collagen caps also have Vitamin C, which is also beneficial to health because of its promotion of healthy gums, hair, bones, nails, teeth and more. Also, one of the main reasons collagen caps are so popular with Hollywood stars is because they assist fat metabolism.
Zinc is another vitamin supplement that many celebrities endorse. The benefits of zinc include metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and energy, as well as preserving healthy skin. Zinc is also an antioxidant and can help make your body's immune system stronger and healthier. Zinc supplements have a multitude of excellent benefits and everyone should consider trying them.
Vitamins are great, but nothing can be a substitute for getting the real thing. So get lots of sleep, take care of your diet, skin, hair and nails. Although vitamins can help add a lot to your body that it's not getting naturally, it's always best to go about things naturally first.

Vision 2000
oem flow turbine meter
Flow causes the bladed rotor of the VISION® Turbine to turn at an angular velocity directly proportional to the flow velocity of the fluid measured. As the blades pass beneath a magnetic pickup coil, a frequency signal is generated. Each pulse is equivalent to a discrete volume of fluid. The frequency / Pulse output can then be transmitted to local or remote electrical instrumentation.
The large number of pulses generated gives a good resolution. As the mass of the turbine is very small the response time is very short. It is not necessary to install a straight length of pipeline on the upstream side. The simple mechanical construction of the flow sensor VISION 2000 ® guarantees a long lifespan without loss of accuracy. Pressure pulses do not affect the measurement results.

Another Challenge...Will It Ever End?
I've spent much of the past 10 months studying my way through my first year of my Master's degree, and it's almost sucked my life dry. I've been challenged to the nth degree and have faced many bang-my-head-against-the-wall moments, writing papers, exams, group projects, questioning my very existence between this rock and that hard place.
Although my first-year classes finished last weekend, and I'm almost over this academic Matterhorn, save for four papers to write between now and July 22nd, I'm finding my challenges have only yet begun.
I'm pregnant.
Yes, a shock for you, but if only I could have Instagram'ed my stark realization of my apparent disbelief could you truly appreciate the shock value it held for me.
If you knew me, you'd know I'm all about logistics: how things get done, when, how long, who, what, where, when, how....you get the drill. Like a seasoned army general, I plan for the expected and the unexpected, forging my blueprints for appropriateness, completeness, finesse....
....this wasn't in the plan.
And before you barrage me with the whole "did you use protection?" debate, may I comment that this is a moot point, considering that I/we don't remember the what/where/when. (Frankly, it's unfortunate, seeing we may have actually had a great time with the "how", but I guess that's what happens when priorities lie elsewhere.)
So, out goes the plan on losing the extra 15 lbs that snuck up on me on my Freshman-15. Much of my time now is preoccupied with deciding if I'm nauseous because of eating too much or eating too little. My 9-week belly is growing at such a supernatural rate, I may be forced to blow my cover sooner than later, at the risk of being called bloated or, gasp, fat. (Who am I kidding: I'm already there. Ugh.)
Baby #3 (or affectionately referred to as, Better-Be-A-Girl by hubby) is definitely going to rock my world for the next few months. Going to class on weekends, completing coursework, going to work full-time, two kids + one, if you include hubby, all while completing a thesis, nursing/pumping/insomnia, etc, etc....
While challenging, I find myself blessed to have found myself in this situation. Actually, I find it slightly humourous, though perhaps this laughing gas I'm breathing will eventually wear off and I'll find myself needing oxygen instead. Until then, I'll keep chuckling away to keep my spirits up, shaking my head in disbelief to this cockamamie brick wall I keep running into.
Damn logistics. Good thing this ain't a real war.

We stayed for 3 weeks and had our wedding reception here last year. The hotel is in a stunningly beautiful setting with mature gardens and the sunset view from the balcony out to sea though the palm trees is idyllic. Then if you look inland you have a view of the beautiful mountains with the sunlight. This hotel is situated on the best side of the island for the weather, the south and east get any incoming rain and wind and the beaches are also amongst the finest on the island.
The icing on the cake that really makes this hotel something special are the local staff. We were fortunate to become acquainted with Mr Bodhee (who is most knowledgeable of the hotel trade) and his team, their attention to detail was excellent and we were guided through the planing and actual reception etc in a seamless manner. Their attention to detail is something that is sadly missing in so many places today, you are not just another customer, and that makes all the difference.
Having traveled extensively over many decades this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, Jan 14,2006 7:59 AM
Men (women too) and machines converged in one venue for the annual automobile extravaganza, Auto Expo, in the National Capital. And as is the usual norm, several auto majors had significant announcements to make. Like Day One, Day Two of the Expo also saw auto majors unveil some of the most awe inspiring machines.
Tata Motors caused quite a stir with the unveiling of the first Indian limousine on Friday. Ratan Tata, Chairman, Tata Motors, launched the limousine, with top-of-the-line features. Also on display is the X-over, a crossover concept vehicle, which is a family tourer with the looks of a sports utility vehicle.
Speaking at the launch, Tata said, "Tata Motors has just crossed the landmark of 50 years in automobile manufacturing. It has established a firm imprint in every segment of the automobile industry in the country and several markets abroad."
The prime exhibit, the Long Wheel Base premium version of the Indigo XL, is a luxury sedan with a wheelbase of 2650 mm, a stretch of 200 mm and top-of-the-line features. The Indigo Xl is scheduled for launch towards the latter half of 2006.
The company also launched a reconfigured and newly speed entry-level petrol range of the popular new Indica V2 Xeta. The Xeta range is priced between Rs 2.69 lakh and Rs 3.65 lakh.
In another important development, Fiat Group and Tata Motors announced the signing of a pact to cooperate on dealer network sharing, which encompasses the sale of Fiat branded cars through selected Tata outlets throughout India. Tata Motors will manage the marketing and distribution of the Fiat branded cars in India.
Another auto major, Ashok Leyland also unveiled its Inter City Luxura and Newgen Aero. The Inter Century Luxura is a 12-meter long super luxury, intercity coach built on space frame and suspended on air springs. Newgen Aero 4026J is a futuristic offering keeping in mind the expected changes in the Indian commercial vehicle market.
Honda SIEL Cars India (HSCI) showcased the technological might of Honda with a grand display of several hi-tech vehicles, including the much-awaited Honda Civic. In keeping with its theme at the Expo, "Raising the Bar", HSCI gave the Indian public a glimpse of the world's most advanced next-generation technologies – the eco-friendly hybrid "Insight" and the fuel-cell powered "FCX". HSCI is the first company to display these technologies in India.
Addressing the media at the Expo, HSCI President and CEO, M Takedagawa, said, "The Civic you see here will be launched in India this year with some minor modifications to suit Indian tastes and conditions. As part of our efforts to pave the way for the new product, we have already increased our production capacity. We are also in the process of increasing our dealer and service network in the country to reach out to more customers in more cities."

Radon in Water - Lab Testing Kit
Product ID: 1214
Product Description
- Detects Radon in Water Supply at Home, Workplace
- Radon is the Second Leading Cause of Lung Cancer in USA (EPA)
- Highly Recommended if Water Supply Comes from Wells
- EPA Proficient Results
- Results Available Within 2 Weeks After Sample is Received($35.00 Lab Fee Required to Process Detectors)
- Pre-Paid Sample Return Shipping is Included
Price Per Unit:
- Detailed Description
- Instructions
- FAQ's
- Warnings
- Reviews
Our Radon in Water Testing Kit is perfect for identifying the presence of dangerous radon in your water supply. According to the U.S. EPA, over 17,000 homeowners are affected by waterborne radon. That number is way too high.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and is emitted in homes from well water during showering, cleaning, brushing your teeth and doing laundry. Using a patented liquid scintillation technology, our testing kit is sure to help you keep your family safer.
DIRECTIONS Important Note: Please follow the directions carefully. Save the directions and mailing materials. You will need them to send your samples to our laboratory at the completion of the sampling. In the space provided below, record the serial numbers located on the side of the glass sample vials and record the date you are returning the samples to PRO-LAB. We will need this information should you have any questions about your results.
1Choose a faucet that is closest to your home or office water inlet and remove the aerator (if present) with the pliers by turning it counter-clockwise. To avoid scratching the aerator, you may want to use a cloth rag between the pliers and the aerator. Turn on the cold water and allow it to run for 3-5 minutes. (For accurate results, thoroughly flush the water system before sampling or take the water samples immedi- ately following prolonged water use, such as a shower or laundry). While you are waiting for the water to purge, uncap the two (2) glass sample vials.
2Hold a large clean bowl (gallon size) or similar container up to the faucet and slowly fill until it overflows the top of the bowl. (For accurate results, the faucet outlet must be below the water surface with no air bubbling in the water for at least two minutes)
3Turn off the faucet and quickly submerge one of the sample vials and cap into the water as deeply as possible. Immediately cap the filled sample vial while still underwater; making sure that there are no air bubbles inside the sample vial. Repeat this step for the second sample vial.
4Hold each sample vial upside down and check for air bubbles. If bubbles are present, dump the sample out and repeat step 3 until there are no visible air bubbles. (Test results will be compromised if air bubbles are present).
5Completely fill out the location information card. (Analysis can not be conducted unless all of the information is recorded).
STANDARD LAB RESULTS Place the two (2) glass sample vials back into the protective mailing tubes and place them side by side in the bottom of the enclosed pre-paid postage envelope provided. (It will be a snug fit). Next, place the location information card and check, money order (made payable to PRO-LAB) or a credit card voucher for $20.00 (Visa, MasterCard, Amex or Discover only) in the top of the pre-paid postage envelope and MAIL IMMEDIATELY (within 24 hours of the completion of the test).
Within 1 week after PRO-LAB has received your sample vials, we will send you an easy to read evaluation of the radon level in your water, using EPA approved standard method 7500-RN.
Special Note: If you are a New Jersey resident, you must add an additional $10.00 fee (made payable to PRO-LAB) for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Agency's administrative costs.
EXPRESS FAX SERVICE Express fax service is available for an additional $15.00. In order to use the express fax service, you must send the sample vials, the location information card (with a fax number on the back), and the proper payment to PRO-LAB using an overnight shipping company such as Federal Express, Airborne Express or UPS. Send the samples to PRO-LAB®, 1675 N. Commerce Parkway, Suite 100, Weston, FL 33326 (Express samples can only be received Monday - Friday). Within 48 hours of our receipt; you will receive your faxed results.
International buyers are responsible for shipping the specimens back to the lab in the United States. TestCountry is not responsible for failed tests due to delays and/or miscollection of specimens.

This Is Driving Me Nuts! What Is The Word For....
Decorating By gimmesugar Updated 17 Sep 2009 , 4:24am by Texas_Rose
What's that thing called that you put in the middle of a large cake pan to help your cake from rising too much in the middle??? For the life of me I can't remember and I'm trying to order it online . It's like a hollow metal cylinder you place in the middle of the pan, making it look like a bundt pan, then you pour cake batter around it then in the little cylinder. I will be most greatful if someone can tell me!
Baking core? Did I win? What's my prize?
Heating core?
THANK YOU! To both of you! I was dying to order it tonight but didn't think I'd be able to! Your prize is knowing that you totally ROCK!!!
Aww darn, Rylan and I both know we ROCK...we wanted a new KA
Just kidding!
You are very welcome
At least your prize was that YOU rock and that you didn't get a ROCK!!
Exactly Anna, I needed a new KA.
Hey, if you didn't order it yet, a flower nail upside down in the center of the pan will do the same thing, without disrupting much of the cake at all when you take it out.

Analysis of Burning Candle
J.S. Crompton, L.T. Gritter, S.Y. Yushanov, and K.C. Koppenhoefer
AltaSim Technologies LLC, Columbus, OH, USA
Analysis of burning candles is extremely complex; combustion produces a highly non-linear temperature profile through the flame in which local temperatures may exceed 1400 °C. Heat transfer includes radiation, conduction and convection components and the low melting point of the candle wax leads to a phase change that allows mass transport via capillary flow prior to combustion in the flame. ...

Whether you scheduled a C-section or ended up with an unplanned surgical intervention, getting your body back to its pre-pregnancy state is a process of healing and recovery. Exercise can play an important role in restoring your physical well-being after a C-section. Understanding the phases of post-partum recovery will help you plan an exercise program geared to the pace of your internal healing.
Postpartum Morphing
Many changes take place in your body during pregnancy, including increased weight, postural changes, stretched muscles and ligaments and changes to your cardiorespiratory system. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, it can take four to six weeks after a normal vaginal delivery to restore the body to its pre-pregnancy state. Recovery from a C-section can take even longer because the site of your incision must heal completely. ACOG recommends you allow a minimum of six weeks to recover after your C-section before returning to regular exercise.
Out of the Gate
While you will need to postpone vigorous exercise, you can begin light physical activity within a week or two after your surgery. Illinois Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital offers an exercise program for post-C-section mothers that includes gentle exercises and movements geared to reducing pain and adhesions from your surgery, improving posture, strengthening the muscles of your pelvic floor and strengthening your abdominal muscles. During this early postpartum stage, physical therapist Ela Lewis, MSPT, recommends deep breathing exercises, pelvic tilts, hip lifts, pelvic floor strengthening exercises and walking. She notes that exercise should be pain-free.
Green Means "Go" -- Slowly
After six weeks of recovery, your body should have healed sufficiently for you to progress to a regular exercise routine that includes aerobic exercise and resistance training. However, before you begin, consult your physician to confirm that your body is ready for increased activity. Once you get the green light, begin slowly. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts, and listen to your body for signs of discomfort and pain. ACOG recommends you build up to the the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines of 30 minutes daily of moderate-intensity activity, plus two weekly resistance training sessions. If you are breastfeeding, ACOG advises you nurse your baby immediately before exercise to reduce discomfort and minimize the influence of lactic acid on milk acidity.
Ramping It Up
Regaining your pre-pregnancy fitness level is a process that takes time. The IDEA Health and Fitness Association notes that it may take between two to six months or longer for you return to your pre-pregnancy state. Colleen Fitzgerald, M.D., medical director of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Women's Health Rehabilitation, explains that a well-designed exercise program during the first six months postpartum is key to maximum recovery. If you have gradually increased your exercise frequency, intensity and duration by six months postpartum, you should be able to engage in vigorous exercise and sports and enjoy a wide range of recreational activities.

Maybe this one can be sent to the glue factory soon. The vultures are already circling around Keys and sometimes the natural order of this world is the best thing that can happen.
Keys needs to shoot this lame horse. The problem Keys has had is that Keys turned the gun on itself. The mortal wound they suffered last season will spell the end for Keys unless they get a miracle.
