When I worked at a local office, I used to walk to a nearby restaurant for lunch and watch a movie on my iPhone while eating. But now, I eat more at home or with a buddy, so the opportunity doesn't really present itself to watch anything with the iPhone. What about you? Do you prefer to use the iPhone as one of your main video sources or would you rather watch video on something bigger like an iPad or regular television? Let us know in the poll.
I went on a business trip out of the country recently, and before I left I checked with AT&T to find out what my international phone rates were looking like. Once I regained consciousness, I told my family that I would get ahold of them with FaceTime anytime I needed to talk.
And that's what I did, but after using it for a bit it became … awkward. But why? Let's talk it out after the break.
A week or so back, I tweeted about a statistic I had seen online. The premise was that the average iOS customer spends around $150 on apps. At the time, I joked that I probably spent more than that in a few months, but then I started thinking about it. Frankly, it kind of festered in my head for a bit. Why does that number seem low to me?
So to get it out of my head, I decided to put it to a poll. Please select from the options on the right, and then we can check back on the results later to see how much our readers spend per year.
Whenever you buy a product, you always run the risk of something newer, bigger and better coming along sometime soon. But with Apple products, most of the time you have a general idea when the next big thing will be on the shelves, because they follow a fairly predictable pattern.
But then the expected release date for the iPhone 5 came and went and here we are with no idea when (or if) the iPhone 5 will make an appearance in 2011. Sure, all signs are that it's coming out in September, but with Apple, no one can ever be sure.
So what do you do if you need a phone now but believe a new one should be out any day now? Let's talk about that after the break.
In this Quick Look, we're highlighting Western Cyprus Travel Guide. The developer describes Western Cyprus Travel Guide as an independent guide to Western Cyprus, featuring the best restaurants, hotels, historic sites, scenic walks, shops, vineyards, outdoor activities, car and boat hire, annual events and luxury villas.

Ever since the iPhone was first released, all of the talk has been about who's going to win the smartphone wars. Originally, it was a 3-horse race between RIM, Android and iOS (With Windows Mobile following along somewhere in there), but now it looks more and more like RIM is out of the picture, or will be soon. That's unfortunate, because even though I'm no longer a BlackBerry user, it's best for everybody that RIM stays in the game.
But why? Wouldn't it be better for Apple to crush the competition and become the No. 1 OS in the land? No, not really. The more competitive the market is, the more innovations will come out for consumption, and the better we all will be as a result. Don't believe me? Let's hash it out after the break.

Last week we talked about syncing your iPhone, and that got me thinking about the current iPhone syncing situation in my close family. I'm a Mac guy, and my mother is a recent convert as well, so we both sync our iPhones to our Macs. But my father and my wife both use PCs to do their syncing, and I don't see that changing anytime in the near future.
Conventional logic says that our reading audience is going to skew primarily to the Mac side of things, but I'm curious: Do you sync your iPhone to your PC or your Mac? Place your vote here, and check back often for the results.
The other day, I wrote a post about how the iPhone 5 needed to be a full redesign for a multitude of reasons. Again, this started me thinking about what exactly Apple could do to top the iPhone 4, because even though it has some pretty obvious flaws (see: antenna), it's still the best cell phone I've ever owned by far. Even though I'm just one of those guys who buys the new iPhone per routine, the buying public needs a reason why the latest phone is better than the last one. I started to wonder what the killer feature in this next version could be, because there's not really much left to do other than continue to keep up with technology.
After much debate, I couldn't really come up with a firm, definitive answer. Instead, I came up with a few options, some of them more likely to happen than others. Let's talk about them after the break.
We're happy to announce that we have chosen five winners, who will each receive a free copy of Ben the Bodyguard for the iPhone! The winners are:

Filipina women have a reputation for providing men with unique dating opportunities, all but absent in their home countries. For many men, the Philippines represents a second chance to date a variety of young, feminine and cute women. This southeast Asian country symbolizes the fountain of youth for older men who seek younger companions for sex and relationships. However, the appeal to Filipina women is not just relegated for older men. Younger men are known to travel to the Philippines in search of exciting sexual conquests with the local women. Many of these men boast about a "rock star effect" with Filipina women.
It seems as though this country has an allure for all men. Southeast Asian girls are more feminine and sweeter than western women in general. Western countries have become a sexual purgatory for many men. However, does the hype match up with the reality of Filipina women.
I recently completed a long stay in this tropical country. This article will provide you with the latest assessment of dating Filipina women based on my recent experience. From this analysis, I will provide insight into whether reality matches the myth.
Let's commence our discussion on the physical traits of Filipina women.
The Beauty of Filipina Women
The looks of Filipina girls vary considerably. It is easy to categorize them as the standard Asian issue women that you meet in the West. However, it is important to understand how history has influenced the genetical pool in the Philippines. Spanish and American influence have been strong in the Philippines. Men from these counties have left their genetic imprint on this nation of tropical islands.
In fact, I regard Filipina women as the Latinas of Asia. Filipina women have assumed some of the physical traits from the Spanish including a tan complexion and curvy bodies. The asses on average are fuller and bigger compared with other Asian women like Vietnamese.
There is no one size fits all in the Philippines. Filipinas also referred to as Pinays, have different looks depending on the region. In the northern region such as in Manila, the women are lighter in complexion and tend to be taller. Further south in cities like Davao, girls are shorter and darker in skin tone. A general appraisal of Filipina women would be petite but curvy women with a tan complexion.
The average Filipina will not be stunning. In fact, most Filipina women are average to below average in physical appearance. However, what sets the Philippines apart is the sheer volume of cute, young, feminine women.
Personality traits of Filipina women
Why do some many men retirees relocate to the Philippines?
Besides having a plethora of cute women, the personalities of the local women are the true magnet. Men coming from western nations, relish in a culture that respects traditional male and females roles. Filipinas embody the feminine qualities that our forefathers took for granted. They are highly nurturing for starters. There is a reason that some many Filipina women choose nursing as a profession. Filipina women take a natural role in caring and looking after others. They do it with such nonchalance that appears endemic to their disposition.
Filipinas have a strong work ethic. They study and work hard. However, their true commitment is to their family. Even after working long days, they always have fuel in the tank to be loyal and committed mothers, wives and daughters.
Second to their humble and nurturing personality is the ease of communication. All Filipinos speak at least basic English. Men who have been in the international dating game know that the most prominent barrier to a relationship with foreign women is communication. Unlike Russian women for instance, it will be easy to communicate with Filipinas.
English mastery is half the battle in developing a rapport and comfort with women abroad. English speaking levels will vary. The upper class speaks English like Americans. Nevertheless, almost all Filipinas speak English well enough for solid commutation.
Attitude on sex
The attitude on sex from a Filipina perspective is not easily summarized. The topic of sex in the Philippines is nuanced and complicated. Having spent the past three months in the Philippines, I can assure our readers that the sex life of an expat here is fulfilling as in any country. In my vast word travels, I have not discovered a country where a man can have so much access to sex with cute, feminine women. Nevertheless, sex in the Philippines is not without complications.
Catholic guilts regarding sex is alive and well. Most Filipina girls are raised to be virgins until marriage. Families place a high emphasis on monogamy and traditional family values. Many women indeed to succeed in fulfilling society's prescription for a moral abstention to premarital sex. However, Filipina women are highly sexual and flirtatious. Despite their Catholic upbringing, they thoroughly enjoy physical pleasures. Their sexual interested seems to peak when they meet a cool foreign man.
The Philippines is full of hypocrisy and paradoxes. Sexual behavior is no exception. Despite being a conservative Catholic country, single men can enjoy a plethora of sexual experiences that can be mind-blowing. One of the chief reasons for this unique access to sexual experiences is the "White God" factors. Our readers have probably heard whispers of this politically incorrect trend in Asia. While most likely decreased from the pinnacle a decade ago, Filipina women do in fact, hold White men to occupy the highest level of the social hierarchy.
Most Filipina women aspire to marry a man of European descent to have Caucasian offspring. This is not the case for every woman, and less prevalent in the upper economic class, but it is a cultural phenomenon.
Although I didn't directly witness it, competition in the Philippines has increased over the past few years. More and more older men with resources are flocking to this country for greener pastures. Younger men are also coming in droves to experience the "rock star effect." The increase in foreign attention has influenced the sexual marketplace. Men can no longer expect to seduce cute women easily with just their passport as sexual market place currency. Younger men are at an advantage in the nightclub scene. However, Filipinas are wise to their intentions. Many women exercise caution and actually prefer older men, who are more likely to provide a stable long-term relationship.
Most Filipina women have marital intentions, thus develop a preference for older men. Money does play a role in their intentions. The Philippines is a poor country where there is a large disparity between the rich and poor. Seeking an older, financially sound man for a relationship is a practical choice.
Online dating
Prior to my visit to the Philippines, I thought that the Dominican Republic was the undisputed king for meeting women online with ease. However, I soon learned about the countless opportunities to meet cute, sweet, friendly girls in the Philippines is staggering. As with all international online dating, selecting the right dating app is of critical consequence. Men need to be wary of online scams, fake profiles, and good old fashion gold-diggers.
Fortunately, I came across Filipino Cupid, which is the most reputable site for meeting Filipina women online. Filipina Cupid boasts over 2 million female users. Filipina women join Filipino Cupid almost exclusively to meet foreign men. There is an excess of sweet, young, attractive women. It is the only dating website that I have actually received more messages from women then I sent out. It is feasible to set up 2-3 dates per day if one wishes. In addition, to being a great site for casual hook-ups, there are also many women who seek marriage.
Meeting Filipina Women During the Day
A close second to using Filipina Cupid would be Daygame. Women during the day are cheerful, friendly and approachable. This is the best way to meet normal Filipina women who are not vested in online dating. Expect a Filipina girl to be initially shy and awkward when you first approach her.
However, don't let her timidity dissuade you from continuing the chat. Meeting strangers during the day is not normal in the Philippines. However shy she appears, always take her phone number. More times than not, she will warm up over texting.
Pro tip: Do not inject the topic of sex early on. Filipina women are sexual but shy at first. Over-sexualizing the conversation will likely scare her off. Save the sex talk until after you have sexually consummated the relationship.
Filipina Nightlife
Meeting women at nightclubs is a mixed bag. As I stated previously younger men tend to do best with Night game. Older men should stick with Daygame and online dating. There are a lot of hookers and professional gold-diggers in nightclubs. To run effective night game in the Philippines, men will need a social circle to prove legitimacy to upper-class women.
There is also a big learning curve on discovering which venues will have normal women and the best nights for going. This will take significant time in the country to run optimal night game for shorter stays, I advise sticking with Filipina Cupid, Daygame and reserving nights for dates.
Red Flags
As previously discussed, the Philippines has a high poverty level. Even educated, hard-working Filipinas struggle economically. Be on guard for women who ask directly for money. Astute women often ask indirectly through appealing to your empathy and generosity.
Some women will attempt to extract money from foreigners under the disguise of helping her sick relative. Men need to be prudent and exercise sound judgment. There is often a thin line between generosity and being taken advantage of. A small percentage of Filipinas have nefarious intentions, but they do exist.
The Best Cities for Meeting Filipina Women
The Philippines is a beautiful country with over 7,000 islands. Exploring the remote and off-the-beaten islands with a girlfriend is an amazing experience. Before you arrive at that point, you will want to concentrate your efforts in on the following three cities:
Manila The capital city is not only the logistical starting point to visit the Philippines, but it will provide you with access to the most beautiful women in the country. Women from all over the country come to Manila to work and study. Some of the upper-class neighborhoods like Makati will provide sound logistics for meeting women at malls, nightclubs and scheduling dates.
Cebu is more navigable than Manilla and less of a hustle and bustle life. The women on average will not be as cute, but there are vast opportunities to meet women in Cebu, particularly on Filipino Cupid. Older men seem to do very well in Cebu.
Davao Further south in the country, women are more conservative. Davao is a solid city to stay for long periods of time, especially if you are looking for a long-term relationship. The women in Davao are less interested in casual hook-ups, preferring long-term relationships.
Closing Thoughts
My time spent in the Philippines has reaffirmed the notion that Filipinas are some of the most beautiful women in Asia. In addition, to their sweet and feminine dispositions, Filipinas have an exotic mix of Asian and Spanish blood. They have an interesting mix of sexual conservatism combined with an exceedingly higher interest in dating foreign men. The good times are certainly not over, despite the increased competition. It is still one of the easiest places to meet beautiful, sweet, and nurturing women who are suited for long-term relationships.
The Philippines has something to offer for every man. For the young player, a varied sex life is at his disposal. Older men have a second chance in life to connect with a younger, more nurturing woman to serve as a quality partner. Finally, online dating with Filipino Cupid is an essential tool that all men must try. Due to the sheer volume and quality of the women online who are eager to meet foreigners.
In short, the Philippines has become more competitive, but my experience taught me that reality still comes very close to matching the myth.

Its a lovely animation for sure
I like the art and the character designs, but the gameplay is extremely rough and there's no way to really avoid the smackdown from enemies. It's got potential, with some fine tuning it can be a fun little game.
the game seems too tough currently because of these factors.
1. enemy reach is greater than yours.
2. enemy hit speed is really fast.
3. life is too low considering the above factors.
4. you only have one life so basically after 5 guys if you even get that far youre at 1 or 2 bars and basically screwed.
idk with this current difficulty it would make it more balanced if you had a projectile weapon but just brawling against these enemies is wayyy too difficult.
game wont load for me
This game looks good though I think the hit detection is a little spotty? Also had it freeze on me.

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. 24 Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
We are all in the same boat! None of us are able to stand before our Creator blameless. But Jesus came so that we can stand before our Father "right in his sight". His covering speaks to all we ever have or will do that is not honoring to him. This is the Good News of the Gospel. That we have LIFE in Jesus and FREEDOM in his precious speaking blood.
Lord, we are so incredibly grateful for what you have done for us. We want to be in right relationship with you. Without your free gift of grace, we would be lost for an eternity. Thank you for standing in the gap for us. We love you, Amen.

text: Mirage News Mirage News Mirage News Business June 10, 2019 1:48 pm AEDT Date Time Share Whatsapp Twitter Facebook Top end of property market leading way to recovery Comments Off on Top end of property market leading way to recovery Following dramatic drops in property prices in Sydney and Melbourne's top end of the market, they are now leading the way to the recovery. This has been demonstrated over the weekend which saw preliminary auction clearance rates, as published by CoreLogic, leap from the doldrums. While both capital cities took a nosedive last year and have been hovering around the 50 per cent mark for the past few months, this weekend saw Sydney's rise to 66.1 per cent and Melbourne's to 64 per cent. RiskWise Property Research CEO Doron Peleg said this showed a clear trend of improvement. "Clearance rates exceeded the 60 per cent mark and this is strongly aligned with the expected stabilisation in the property market," Mr Peleg said. "Labor's loss at the Federal election eliminated the number one risk to the property market and this, combined with the high likelihood of interest rate cuts by the RBA this year, the introduction of the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme and APRA's proposal to remove the 7 per cent 'stress test' replacing it with a 2.5 per cent buffer, will support the bottoming of the Sydney and Melbourne markets by the end of the year and then a gradual recovery." He said the top end sub-regions (Statistical Areas Level 4 – SA4s) of Melbourne led the market with the Inner-East delivering 72.5 per cent preliminary clearance rate and the Inner-South 68.4 per cent. "Both these areas experienced material price reductions in the recent downturn with houses in Melbourne's Inner-East dropping by 17 per cent in the past 12 months," Mr Peleg said. "While the lower end of the market showed more resilience in the recent downturn, the top end went down significantly, and we are seeing a major change in the trend." Greville Pabst Property Advisory and Chairman of WBP Group, Greville Pabst said the Inner-East and South areas of Melbourne had been the hardest hit over the past 18 months. "Our valuers have reported price weakening in the range of 15-20 per cent, particularly for properties that are in the $2 million-plus price range and other sub-sectors of the market such as new apartments that were previously sold off-the-plan," Mr Pabst said. "Whilst the greatest falls have been experienced in inner-Melbourne, this is where the recovery will begin and prices within this inner circle are expected to outperform the general market over the next three to five years." Mr Pabst said the western Melbourne house market was also another opportunity for growth, driven by affordability where the median house price in the $500,000 to $650,000 range was well below the Melbourne median. "This area, in particular, is attracting strong population growth and infrastructure investment," he said. "Regionally, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo will continue to perform strongly supported by Government grants, first home buyer and stamp duty exemption schemes. Infrastructure spending, job creation and affordable housing is expected to underpin growth in regional Victoria for the next five years." Mr Peleg said CoreLogic figures showed while Melbourne West, with a 59 per cent auction clearance rate, and the Outer East, with 61.5 per cent, were performing reasonably well, the results at the top end of the market were well above these. He said a similar trend could be seen in Sydney with the top end delivering strong auction clearance rates and all six sub-regions delivering around or more than 70 per cent, including City & Inner South at 75.6 per cent; North Sydney & Hornsby at 73.2 per cent; Inner West with 72.3 per cent; and Eastern suburbs with 71.7 per cent.

Although underresourced & primarily volunteer-based, we endeavour to provide the community with real-time access to true unfiltered news directly from the firsthand sources. Our goal and mission is to provide free and alternative access to impartial information, fighting media monopolization and adhering to honesty, neutrality, fairness, transparency and independence in collection and dissemination of information. It is a bumpy road with all sorties of difficulties. (Media ownership in Australia is one of the most concentrated in the world (more on this!). Since the trend of consolidation is and has historically been upward, fewer and fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media in our country. According to independent assessment, about 98% of the media sector is held by three conglomerates. This tendency is not only totally unacceptable, but also to a degree frightening).

By Lt. Corinne Sims, USN
When I was 14 years old, my brother left for U.S. Navy boot camp. At the time I had no idea what that meant other than my annoying older brother finally left the house. Well, as it turned out, I missed him terribly and when it came time for his graduation, I was beyond excited to see him and hear about the great adventure he was embarking upon. We headed to Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, and during our visit I saw some amazing young Sailors marching in formation. I was mesmerized at how they worked together to move as one cohesive unit. It was at that moment I decided to join the U.S. Navy. I wanted to learn how to march and be a part of a team just like I had seen at my brother's graduation. When we got home I went straight to my brother's recruiter and told him I wanted to join. Of course, at 14 I was way too young, but he had the next best thing for me. He said, "Try the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets and see how you like it."
So I did. I joined the Sea Cadets and never looked back. From the start of my journey with the Sea Cadets, I knew I wanted to be the one standing in front of the division, preparing the team for inspection and leading them through our drill weekends. Of course, you can't start out being in charge and I quickly realized I had to learn to be a follower before I could be a leader. I diligently listened, observed and learned from everyone in my division — the officers there to guide us, the cadets in charge, and even those who were younger and quick to tell us when we were wrong. At boot camp I learned what it was really like to be a part of a team and to accomplish tasks that could only be completed with everyone's cooperation.
Being a part of the Sea Cadets also afforded me great opportunities, like taking part in an exchange program with Japanese students, sponsored by a World War II Japanese Kamikaze pilot rescued by one of our ships. We went camping and learned survival and navigation skills. We participated in countless ceremonies, parades, where we were able to thank veterans who sacrificed so much for us and taught us what it really meant to serve. Inspired, I studied hard to complete my correspondence courses and pass the advancement tests. As I earned positions of real responsibility and leadership, I finally became the leading petty officer, standing in front of my division preparing them for inspection. All of these experiences were to prepare me for the real challenge ahead — enlisting in the U.S. Navy.
When the time came to seriously start talking with the recruiter I was sure of two things: first, I wasn't ready for college and second, I wanted to be a civil engineer. In addition to my parents, I brought my Sea Cadet commander (who else would I trust to help me make such a huge decision?) with me to talk to the recruiter about all my options and the best plan to reach my goal. I decided to enlist as a Fire Controlman and went off to boot camp. We hadn't been there for two days and my Recruit Division Commander came to me and asked if I was a Sea Cadet. Puzzled, I asked her how she knew and she quickly replied, "I can tell by your confidence in leading your shipmates." It was then I realized how much more of an impact the Sea Cadets had on me. She made me the master-at-arms of the division where I stayed for the duration of boot camp.
From there things only got better. I graduated in the top of my class from Fire Control School and quickly earned a reputation of being a leader on my ship. I continued to bolster the skills and lessons I learned in Sea Cadets as I studied hard and advanced quickly. Once on shore duty, I decided it was time to pursue my second dream of becoming a civil engineer. I applied for a commissioning program called "Seaman To Admiral-21." The program allowed selectees to complete their bachelor's degree free of charge and commission as an Ensign upon completion. I knew the Civil Engineer Corps was the only option for me so I went for it. I was selected, completed my bachelor's of civil engineering and was commissioned in 2010. My dream had come true. I am a U.S. Navy civil engineer.
Since commissioning, I have had the opportunity to lead Seabees and coordinate their movements around the world. I went to Afghanistan to teach Afghan leaders how to serve their communities by providing their citizens basic needs like fresh water for consumption, farming techniques and the building of safe housing. Now, I work on the largest Navy base in the world ensuring the Atlantic fleet receives the best possible service in order to deploy and protect everything we have worked so hard for.
None of my dreams would have come true if I hadn't been in the Sea Cadets to learn how to be a part of a team and lead a team. I still have more goals accomplish and milestones to reach, but I know where it started — the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets — and for that I will forever be grateful.

Agents fees for selling a property to your tennant?
sailorjo posted a topic in Landlords forumMy letting agent approached me about a month ago with a request from my tennant as to whether I would consider selling him my property. We have since agreed a price and appointed solicitors with the agents acting as a go between. The agents very belatedly (yesterday) sent me through a sole agency sales agreement for signature, and are now seeking their full agents commision on the sale of the property. Whilst they have acted as a go between, I never asked them to sell the property for me. Reading the sole agency agreement I don't see that I need to sign it, as I already have a sale agreed. Can anyone advise whether the agents can force me to sign the agreement and if they are entitled to any commision? I fully accept that they have introduced the purchaser to me, but that was 8 months ago as a tennant, for which they received commision for their services as letting agents. All that they have done this time is email queries between a tennant and the landlord. Many thanks for any advise

When you login to a Check Point firewall or device over either web or SSH, you are authenticated in the same way. The different authentication methods are
- Local user account
- External authentication server for a local account
- External authentication for a non-local account
Adding a local user in GAI
This is the simplest way and often the easiest method of adding a user and authenticating. Begin by logging into the WebUI. The standard is HTTPS over port 443
- Go to User Management > Users and click "Add" to set up a new user
- In the next window you can select options for the user
Login Name: This is the username used when logging in
Password: Password
Real name: To identify users easier
Home directory: Home directory, this will be /home/<USERNAME> as default
Shell: This is the standard shell when you login. Default shell is clish. If you change it to /bin/bash remember that the user will be able to run commands with root privileges if he has UID = 0
UID: The default is 0, which means that you will have the same permissions as root if you get into the /bin/bash shell. However in order to get into that shell you must either have that set as your standard shell, or know the expert password.
You can also select if the user can login to either Web or SSH or both, as well as assign one or more Roles. The Roles determine what permissions you have to run commands and modify configuration.
Adding a local user in GAiA - Using clish
clish is the default shell when connecting to the Check Point device over SSH. clish works in a very similar way as when modifying configurations in a switch or router.
Adding user
# add user <USERNAME> uid <UID> homedir <HOME_DIRECTORY> # set user <USERNAME> password # add rba user <USERNAME> roles <ROLE> # save config
Deleting user
# delete user <USERNAME>
So using local users is easy, but let's see what the pros and cons are :
Advantage: Easy to setup
Disadvantages: Static passwords on each device means a lot of work to change them all if you have many devices
There is no password expiration set as default
If a user quits it's a lot of work to find everywhere where the user has accounts and delete them
If a new user joins the team it's a hassle to create accounts for him on all devices
These disadvantages often lead to teams managing the devices to use the admin account for everything, and share the password, since it is easier. This is of course bad for several reasons.
Sharing the account means that you cannot determine who did what from the logs. A shared password is more work to change, as everyone needs to be informed, and often means that it will be changed less frequently, if at all.
According to PCI-DSS 8.5.8 it is stated:
8.5.8 Do not use group, shared, or generic accounts and passwords, or other authentication methods.
Password policy for local accounts
Here you can setup the password policy for local users
Roles are permissions sets that you can assign to a user.
Each Role has two types of permissions.
Commands = Commands that can be executed in CLI
Features = Part of the configuration. If a user does not have the NTP feature then the user will not see the NTP part in WebUI and cannot change it in CLI either.
There are three pre-defined Roles, adminRole, cloningAdminRole and monitorRole with different permission sets.
Authentication Servers
Configure if you want to use an external authentication server, either for non-local users, or local users who authenticate remotely
RADIUS Servers: Here you can define your RADIUS servers, which IP, port and timeout as well as shared secret.
Network Access Server (NAS): The IP that should be recorded in the RADIUS Access Request as the IP of the gateway. If nothing is selected here it will use the source IP address of the packet.
Sometimes when packets go via NAT the source IP of the packet can change. Then it can be good to have the true source IP recorded inside the RADIUS Access Request.
RADIUS Users Default Shell: This is the default shell for non-local users.
Super User UID: This is the UID for non-local users when entering expert mode. This should be 0 in most cases. The only other option is 96, which is the UID of the "_nonlocl" built in user. If 96 is selected the user will not be able to run any commands from expert.
If you are unable to select 0, then check sk98958 or sk97206.

This is Moody instruMental Music from the Heartwashed collection. Heartwashed is also known as Heartwashed: Exodus to Genesis. This collection of Moody instruMental Music contains my attempts at making avant-garde music. (That sounds cool - avant-garde...oooooh.) Avant-garde is defined as:
"new and unusual or experimental ideas, especially in the arts, or the people introducing them."
Hey, I'm just making music as it comes to me. This stuff tends to be more "in-your-face" and rough, but the emotions are heavy and a bit raw. The instruments attack hard, but the music allows the feelings to run deep. I think I have some good mood changes in this collection.
About my notes: It's always funny writing out notes to myself about this Moody instruMental Music that I make. It's even funnier when I read what I write years later. These notes aren't meant to make a whole lot of sense. I'm just trying to capture something about the music at the time that I create it.

Match report:
The last match of the first round of Mining League fixtures, and the first real clue summer was finally here, as we started the match on a Perranporth field bathed in sunlight. I had lost the toss and they had elected to bat – although the fading light is usually the problem at the end of the game, famously here it is the setting sun which shines directly into the eyes of the sea facing batsmen and fielders. Although we have had some close games this season, the reality was we had only won 1 and thus earned a miserly 2 points. I was very keen to improve on this, and we opened with Farrar and Botha. Both good spells, with Dave being unlucky not to pick up a couple of wickets, and Ettienne getting 2 (with multiple near miss edges it must be said), but their top order batsmen weren't being prised out easily despite the very variable bounce. Right, I thought, I will send in Evans from one end, nice and straight and consistent to try and tie them down, and Suleman from the other, a bit of spin out of the sun to bamboozle them I thought. Hmm. The best laid plans and all that. For some reason Steve decided that he did not want to annoy the groundsman by scuffing up the wicket, and sent down full toss after full toss. He loves a bit of advice, does our Steve, and several no balls and boundaries later the ball was still flying around at waist height, with calls asking him to see if he could try and hit the deck being received with the usual aplomb. The 2 balls he did get to pitch promptly got him wickets – imagine if more had bounced!! Mudassar from the other end was turning the odd ball a mile but was getting a way with a lot of streaky leg side deliveries. We finished off with a very useful 3 overs from Bishop, making a welcome comeback from injury, and the final total was an acceptable but gettable 101.
Mithchelmore and Patwardhan opened for us, with Ash failing to trouble the scorers after being caught off a gift ball, and Mudasser fell early too after his great knock last week. The weather smiled on us, with cloud now obscuring the sun making life a little easier, although colder. Ian was clearly relishing throwing off the rust, and with Phil having a great anchoring innings at the other end the run was progressing exactly on target. Poor Bish was then adjudged LBW from probably the only straight ball he received, and had to sit in the stands while a series of gift bowlers sent down what I could only describe as dolly-droppers. Well, they were dolly-droppers from where we sitting, but they clearly must have had ferocious turn or something to them, as Steve elected to milk them for a single a ball to get our 5-6 runs an over. Or possibly it was tactical. Or like my cats he was just toying with them. How cruel. A 6 a ball would have been a lot kinder. My goading from the sidelines may have had something to do with the missed heave that had him bowled for 26, and with Phil falling in the 30's, this left Eas and Aru to finish of the last few runs. Off a 10 year old. Which they did. Slowly. While losing a wicket. Meaning Dave had to go in for 1 ball. In the last over.
Unfettered joy! That rarest of commodities, a victory. Joking aside it was a fun game, with a comfortable chase in the end, and we now have 4 points. Special mention must also be made of Phil and Ettiene's fielding – I know they are only young but great commitment diving around in their short positions in front of the wicket has saved us countless runs. Well done boys – keep it up while you can. You too will be old one day….

The return leg against Mt Hawke – strongest side this year in our division, no games lost yet, top of the points table, rolled a lot of the other teams over easily way short of 20 overs they told me – I had been plotting and planning tactics all week. 11 of us will clearly remember losing on the last ball of the last over a few weeks ago to them and I was keen for a good come back. I won the toss and elected to bat, and we got going as various members from both sides drifted in late due to the traffic. Despite a brief 5 minute interruption for rain we made good progress with part 1 of the plan to score as many runs as aggressively as possible so we had a decent total to defend. Helped by a fast outfield and short straight boundaries we steadily accumulated runs despite a couple of wickets falling along the way. A quick 8 by Matthew with two 4s, lots of cheeky singles by Mudasser and a useful 15 by Phil (despite giving them a lot of catching practice out there!) I managed to steer us to 116 for 5 by the end. Although helped by second highest scorer extras at 18, Bunty their captain has to be credited with stopping us passing the 120 mark with some tight bowling at the death. He bowls pretty nifty skiddy leg breaks that are very difficult to get away.
There was a nice half time moment too when we caught up with the guest appearance of Andy Lockyer, and presented him with his Batsmen of the Year award from last year. Looking forward to his return.
Well, the pitch was green and had a lot of variable bounce – was 116 enough to put some pressure on them?? For 17 overs it appeared so. Although they were just about keeping pace with the required run rate for the first half, we were fielding well, holding catches and bowling well and wickets were falling. Everyone had a great spell – Ettiene some nice bounce, Mudasser bowling some unplayable deliveries, Ash and Aru mixing up a couple of tight overs for us to keep the run rate down. A little flurry of wickets around the time Dave came on at the end and suddenly they were needing about 30 off 3-ish overs with 8 wickets down. Was this it? Could we maintain the pressure and score an epic victory?? Of course not – this is Methigion. Dave felt the singles they made while batting made the difference – I am afraid I disagree. We took a lot of cheeky singles too. The difference was in 4 balls. Their rugby playing part timer came in, who usually scores a duck they tell me, came in and mowed agricultural cross batted boundaries. All off great full yorking balls – 3 sixes and a four – 22 runs off 4 balls, and the game was over at the end of the 19th over!!
I will be honest – this is the result I am most disappointed about this year. We played well, with great competitive belief, and we have lost before – it was just the fact that our plans so nearly came off against a strong side. Victory would have been all the sweeter for its rarity against Mt Hawke.
Ahh well, the 3 match winning streak had to come to an end at some stage. We unfortunately remain on only 4 points in the league at this point, but we continue to post decent scores and have competitive games, and I am sure we can snaffle a few more points in the weeks ahead.

Match Report:
Under blustery grey skies Methigion lost the toss and were asked to bat by our hosts. The outfield was verdant and slow, and the wicket was nearly as green and soft as the outfield. Luckily we had the benefit of two sons in the team, and a father Pathwarden amongst the spectators. Despite concerns about being short of players, by the start of the match we had 12, so Richard Thomas very generously stood down and scored. We also had a very welcome visit from Frank Haines, who umpired the second innings for us. Thanks Richard and Frank.
Jason Farrar made a spirited 23, successfully beating the old man's 17 in the first half of the innings. I suspect he could have made 43 had he not been slowed by a rather sluggish batting partner with an eye on his average. Easwaran was the keystone of the second half with an uncharacteristically swashbuckling 31, well supported by Mudassar with 16. A total of 107 for 7, which is better than it sounds, given the difficulty in scoring boundaries through the long grass.
St Day made an ominously brisk start with 25 in the first four overs, then slowed right down thanks to some excellent bowling by young Dan Davis who bowled four tidy overs for five runs, and took one wicket. At 55 for 1 off 12 overs things were fairly evenly balanced. Temporary skipper Gripper fancied his chances on the wet wicket and was lucky to hit the stumps twice in his first over, quelle surprise. The balance tipped Methigion's way. The home team however got going again with some big hits despite wickets falling and expensive overs 15,16 and 17, (two off the captain) left 30 needed by St Day off the last 3 overs for another Methigion defeat. A very exciting passage of play ensued with a couple of run outs, one a direct hit by Jason Farrar, and with St Day needing thirteen off the last over, Methigion won by four runs.
Another thriller, this time with a good result for Methigion; thanks to all who played, particularly Jason and Dan who were almost certainly instrumental in our success.

What is Shading?
Credit: staytint.com
When it comes to semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos, you've probably heard of microblading. With social media's rapid growth in the last decade, microblading's popularity in the US quickly surged, quickly replacing it's passé predecessor, the traditional tattoo technique that left a generation of women with discolored blue, purple or green eyebrows. Microblading has seen mainstream appeal due its hyper-realistic effect created by hairlike strokes cut into the skin.
Fast forward a few years. While microblading was gaining Western demand, a newer and more advanced technique called SHADING (also known as powder, mist, microshading, ombré shading, or stardust brows) was developing in Asia. SHADING differs from traditional tattooing in that it is surface work—meaning, the application is done on the epidermis layer of the skin. The technique is described by its name, with results being powdery with a faded front and a crisp tail, resembling the look of makeup. In only the last 2-3 years, shading brows have started to gain US traction, often converting people with prior microblading work and for good reasons:
So, why has shading brow become the next big thing?
LESS INVASIVE: Shading brows are achieved using a small machine, which disperses extremely fine dots of pigments even into and across the skin in an airbrush or shading technique. Microblading uses a hand-tool that creates incisions or small cuts into the skin.
LESS PAIN & BLEEDING: Shading brows are less painful due to the airbrush-like technique we apply, which creates less trauma to the skin.With shading brows, minimal to zero blood surfaces during the procedure. Some of our clients say that getting shaded brows is a similar sensation to an electric toothbrush pressed against the skin or rapid tweezing; some discomfort is to be expected as a needle is utilized.
LASTS LONGER: Results do vary based on lifestyle, skin type, health, preferences, etc., but a full shading brows session, using high-quality pigments, can last on average 2-3 years.
GREAT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES: Shading brows are great for any skin type ( unlike microblading which is not suitable for those with oily skin & mature thin skin ).
It is the best technique darker skin tone ( from Fitzpatrick skin type 5 +6, picture above ) .Shading technique requires less touch-ups, which costs less in long term
STILL LOOKS NATURAL: While ombré powder brows have a more "filled-in" look, the healed results appear like softly shaded brow pencil or powder. Immediately after the treatment, ombré powder brows can appear more saturated and bold, however, brows will fade minimal 30%, leaving a very soft finish and shape that will allow our clients to quickly groom their brows going forward.

The card reader claimed to be USB 3.0 compatible. The computer in question has USB 2.0 (Lenovo X220). The images in question are all JPG.
I got rid of the problem by copying the photos with another reader.

Well, our first ever contest–create your own School Days-inspired "demotivational" poster–has ended. Thanks to all of you who submitted entries. After looking them over, we've decided on a winner: Owen of Cruel Angel Theses, come on down! Here is his winning entry, and it's (as another blogger on this site would say) siiiiick:
Is it bloody and sadistic? Yes. Did it make me squirm uncomfortably and wonder about the morality of the person who made it up as much as it made me laugh and question my own morality for enjoying it? Yes. Just like the show's final episode did: it fits the spirit of School Days perfectly. All while poking fun and pointing out its very sadism…this puts things in perspective to say the least!
Congratulations and thanks Owen! You will be receiving your prize soon. Stay tuned for another contest coming soon!

Introduced in House (05/21/1992)
Adds a new chapter to Federal veterans' benefits provisions entitled "Veterans' Job Training." Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (Secretary) and, to the extent specifically provided, the Secretary of Labor to carry out a program to assist eligible veterans in obtaining employment through participation in programs of significant training for employment in stable and permanent positions. Requires the program to be carried out through payments to employers who employ and train eligible veterans in such positions. Uses such payments to assist such employers in defraying the costs of necessary training.
Authorizes the Secretary to contract or make agreements with State approving agencies (SAAs) to carry out the duties of the Secretary under this chapter, and to pay appropriate expenses. Directs each SAA to report to the Secretary a certification as to the expenses incurred. Requires the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans' Employment and Training to assist the Secretary of Labor in carrying out this chapter.
Makes eligible for such job training programs veterans who: (1) are unemployed at the time of application; (2) have been so unemployed for at least ten of the 15 weeks prior to such application; (3) submit an application for such program within four years after discharge or release or four years after enactment of this Act, whichever is later; (4) were discharged on or after August 2, 1990; (5) served on active duty for more than 90 days; (6) are entitled to disability compensation (or who, but for the receipt of military retired pay, would be so entitled) for a disability rated at 30 percent or more; and (7) were discharged or released from active duty due to a service-connected disability.
Outlines application requirements for a veteran who wishes to participate in such a program. Authorizes the Secretary to withhold approval of such applications when determined necessary due to limited funds available for the program. Directs the Secretary to furnish to veterans approved for the program a certificate of eligibility for presentation to an employer within 180 days. Limits to 15 months the maximum period of training for which assistance may be provided on behalf of a veteran under this chapter.
Requires an employer, in order to be approved under the job training program, to provide training for no less than 12 months in an occupation in a growth industry or in an occupation requiring the use of new technological skills. Allows for a training program of at least six months when the purpose of this chapter would be met by such program.
Provides for the approval of appropriate employer job training programs. Prohibits the approval by the Secretary of job training programs for employment: (1) consisting of seasonal, intermittent, or temporary jobs; (2) under which commissions are the primary income source; (3) which involves political or religious activities; (4) with any Federal department or agency; or (5) outside of the State.
Outlines application requirements for the approval of job training programs of an employer under this chapter. Authorizes the Secretary to withhold the approval of an employer's proposed program pending the outcome of an investigation as to whether all application requirements have been met.
Provides for payments to employers for approved job training programs provided to qualifying veterans under this chapter. Places certain per-veteran limits on the amount of such payments. Requires pro rata repayment by an employer for unfulfilled periods of job training or employment under the program. Requires an employer to certify to the Secretary the appropriate training and employment of a veteran before receiving such payments. Requires all requests for such payments to be made within two years from the date on which the job training ends. Outlines conditions of employer noncompliance under a job training program under which payments made shall be considered an overpayment due to the United States.
Requires an employer to notify the Secretary of its intention to employ such veteran, and allows the veteran to begin such program within two weeks after such notification unless approval is withheld or denied by the Secretary.
Authorizes an employer to enter into an agreement with an educational institution that has been approved for the enrollment of veterans under which the institution provides the program of job training to eligible veterans. Requires an employer's application to state such intention.
Authorizes the Secretary to immediately disapprove further participation by veterans in a program when the Secretary finds that such previously-approved program fails to meet any of the requirements under this chapter. Requires the Secretary to notify the employer and veteran so affected, and to provide the opportunity for a hearing on such disapproval.
Directs the Secretary to disapprove future participation by veterans in a program under which the Secretary determines that the rate of veterans' successful completion of an employer's programs is disproportionately low due to deficiencies in the quality of the programs. Requires the Secretary to take into account certain data in making such determination. Requires employer notification and opportunity for a hearing in such cases.
Requires to be available the records and accounts of employers pertaining to veterans' job training programs approved under this chapter. Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) monitor employers and veterans participating in such programs to determine compliance; (2) investigate any matter necessary to determine compliance with program requirements; and (3) administer such monitoring and investigative functions via an agreement between the Secretary and the Secretary of Labor for the performance of such functions by the Department of Labor.
Prohibits an employer from being paid training assistance on behalf of a veteran under this chapter during any period of time in which the employer receives any other form of assistance on account of the training or employment of the veteran, including assistance under the Job Training Partnership Act, or when the employer receives a tax credit for the employment of certain new employees.
Directs the Secretary and the Secretary of Labor, upon request, to provide employment counseling services to eligible veterans in order to assist such veterans in selecting a suitable job training program under the chapter. Directs the Secretary of Labor to provide a program under which: (1) a disabled veteran's outreach program specialist is assigned as a case manager for each veteran participating in a job training program; (2) the veteran has an interview with the case manager within 60 days after entering into a program; and (3) periodic (at least monthly) contact is maintained with each veteran in order to aid such veteran in successfully completing his or her program. Outlines situations in which the assignment of a case manager may be waived.
Directs the Secretaries to jointly provide a program of counseling designed to resolve difficulties encountered by veterans during their training.
Directs the Secretaries to jointly provide for an outreach and public information program to inform: (1) veterans of available employment and job training opportunities; and (2) private industry and business concerns, public agencies and organizations, educational institutions, trade associations, and labor unions about available job training opportunities.

Requires coordination of the outreach and public information program with similar Federal programs and programs of public agencies and organizations.
