10:18 a.m. — 1620 GMD. Suspicious Person. Police saw a silver Nissan enter The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort property and followed the driver into the abandoned resort. The man told police he had parked there to go to the beach. He was advised the property was not open to the public and given directions to several nearby beach accesses on Longboat Key.
Sept. 29
Situation under control
2:30 p.m. — Off the Key. Fire. Police responded to a structure fire in Bradenton Beach, but their assistance was canceled prior to arrival.
Crisis averted

Oct. 1
Can-do attitude
10:01 a.m. — Intersection of GMD and Bayview Drive. Suspicious Vehicle. A woman reported a man was taking cans from recycle bins on the side of the road.

Camping's more fun with a friend.
Grab your honey and head for the woods. The doublewide Big Agnes Big Creek 30 Degree Synthetic Sleeping Bag takes care the two of you from spring to fall. A zipper on each side of the bag makes escape easy for either of you, and the extended height accommodates folks up to 6'2".
- Big Agnes sleeping bags leave out the bottom insulation both to save weight and because insulation compressed by your body weight loses most of its insulating value
- Note: bag requires two 20-inch-wide rectangular sleeping pads to be fully insulated (sleeping pads available separately); bag hold two pads in separate sleeves
- The tough, outer nylon ripstop shell features a water-repellent treatment to keep the dew out
- Soft, compressible SL90 insulation insulates even when wet
- Draft collar for each person seals around neck to keep cold air from sneaking in
- No-draft flap in center eliminates gaps that can allow cold air in
- Built-in pillow pockets keep your pillows or a fleece in place
- Interior fabric loops keep your liner in place when you've added one to boost warmth

How would this bag work with 20"x78" long pads?
Grant Kates
Member since
Hey jjsp72421,
Thanks for your question.
According to Big Agnes they list the sleeping pad requirement at 2 - 20x72" pads. so if you got two of those 20" x 78" pads you should be good to go! reference: https://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Bag/bigcreek30 (under specifications)
I hope this helps.
Member since
Actually, 78 inch pads would be too long. They won't fit in the sleeve under the bag

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This has to be one of my favorite pieces of backpacking gear! Big Agnes is known for comfort and that is what you will find in this double bag, very spacious and well constructed. This bag will last us a long time! The bag compresses great into my pack, just be sure to let the bag live in the storage sack provided when you are not using the bag. The sleeping pad sleeves are perfect, keeps your pad under you all night. I use a mummy pad while my lover uses the Big Agnes insulated air core, this set up works great together. We also have neo-air pillows that fit perfectly in the pillow sleeves! I could sleep on this set up forever, it's super comfortable!

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
For couples this is the way to go. Light weight and smart design. I actually prefer the no-pad back. The air core pads are plenty warm. you can be a side sleeper (like me) and still have total warmth. Pad sleeves are perfect and easily accessed, pillow sleeves are brilliant.

can you convert this bag into two separate bags?
Member since
Love this sleeping bag!
Member since
Great product! My husband and I bought it for our 50 mile trip. It was perfect. It kept us warm, was easy to use, just pull it out of the stuff bag and stuff it right back in when your done. I loved the pillow cases, made it easy to just stuff clothes in and use for a great pillow. I would highly recommend it.

Member since
Which compression sack is best for this bag?
Steven Jones
Member since
Stuff size is 9x10, according to BC. Check out Granite Gear, Sea 2 Summit or ALPS Mountaineering stuff sacks here on BC. A Medium or a Large should work.
How thick of a sleeping pad can I fit into...
Member since
How thick of a sleeping pad can I fit into the sleeve? I want to spoil us and buy two 1.5" or 2" thick pads, but don't want to shell out the cash only to find it doesn't fit.
Kirk Haskell
Member since
they both fit fine ou will be all good with either size.
Member since
I put the big Agnes 3.5 inch thick mattress in the sleeve with no problem.
Member since
I used the Big Agnes Q core pads with this bag. (The pad is 4 inches thick!) They fit successfully, but it just took a little more effort to get them in when they were fully inflated, compared to like the Exped, which has a thickness of 2.8 inches. Anything in the 2.5 inch range slides in super easy.
We have the larger Exped 7 deluxe pads...
Member since
We have the larger Exped 7 deluxe pads that are 25" wide instead of BA 20" wide. We lash these together with a Thermarest coupler and I wonder can this double wide bag be used just laying it on top of our 2 mattresses without putting them in the sleeves since I doubt they'd fit.
Ryan Hamilton
Member since
Yes, I just used my BA bag on top of a large air mattress in my back of my truck 2 nights ago. It worked fine.
Member since
If you're not going to put the pads inside the sleeping bag sleeve, I'd suggest looking into different sleeping bags (perhaps cheaper ones), like the North Face Dolomite double!

Member since
Should I go with the mummy style pad or the basic rectangle?
Phil Maher
Member since
A pair of 20" rectangular pads is what you want for this bag.
Clearance Rack Jayck
Member since
I use one mummy and one (dual core) rectangle. My lady is smaller so the mummy fits her fine, it saves on weight and gives me options when going solo.
Almost perfect
Member since
The Big Creek sleeping bag was everything promised and more. I was impressed with the quality construction, the bonus cotton carrying sack (a bit bigger than the included stuff sack), and a few features not mentioned in the website. Plenty roomy for two, and at 6'2" I fit fine.
Don't be shy of the no-stuffing-in-back design. When used with the Big Agnes Air Core pads, it worked brilliantly. There's even a small window sewn in so the pad inflation nozzle is accessible without removing it from the pocket. No sliding around, no falling off the pad, no sleeping bag twisting around your feet.
We were toasty on our first 40-degree night, and this summer-weight bag stuffs smaller than our two previous bags combined. Nice.
One glitch: the drawstring that tightens the hood pulled out in the first five minutes of use. :-( Everything else seems fine and I love this bag too much to return it, so I stitched the drawstring back into place myself.
I recommend sticking with Big Agnes Air Core pads. They're a perfect fit and a quality product themselves. Glad I got 'em.

is this one pouch or 2?
basically want to have sexy time in this, will that work?
to quote the GF - "I don't want to have sex through a hole in a sheet... like the olden times"
Phil Maher
Member since
Full contact sport for this one, Chris. What you're seeing that makes it look like two separate pods is the no-draft flap with a velcro closure.
Angus Bohanon
Member since
In my experience, this'll be way too warm to be inside, and if you're on top of it it doesn't make a difference. But should you choose to go for it, this will not be the limiting factor.

Q & A regarding Player/Staff Registration w/US Club Soccer
Modified on 2013/07/17 11:04 by Administrator — Categorized as: Uncategorized
Here are some questions and answers regarding Player/Staff Registrations: We will continue to bring you updates as we receive them.
Please remember to contact Bonnie to sign up for one of the two upcoming Webinars on July 23 & 30 6-7 pm
Player uploads
Q: Can I upload an entire team with a mix of returning and new players? Yes, but they will also have to upload POB's as we will not know a returning player from new player since the data was not in the original upload by our web provider. If so, will the system "update" the returning player data to include their new jersey number?
A: Jersey numbers were not included in the data we received to import. If they upload now and have a column for the # it will show for players.
Q: If not, then is there a quick way to view the team and update all jersey numbers in one location? (Or do you have to open and view details for each player to change their jersey number?)
A: They can view the official team roster to see what #'s are uploaded. To add the # they would have to view details for each player.
Q: What are the steps to add a "double roster" player to a secondary roster from within our own club? (within our club, several players have agreed to play on the A team and also sub for the B team when needed).
A: Each time they add a player to the website they are issued a player ID#. Players can be moved from one team to another or they can make custom rosters in Team Management. Should they want to card a player to two teams within the organization that is possible, but they will have to pay for 2 player registrations if they choose this option.
Q: What are the steps to add a Double-roster player from another club?
A: Add the player. Don't worry about the dual flag as USCS Admin will review. Dual registration between organizations under GSYSL has been approved to process without the need of an emailed approval for each dual registered player.
Q: Follow up on previous question: Will a player card print for the secondary team?
A: If they have added the player twice to the system for 2 player registrations once processed they will be able to print 2 passcards for each player ID#. OR they can move the player to the second team print his/her card for that team and team roster. Then move the player back to the original team. The second option would not charge them a second registration fee.
Q: On printing team rosters, the instructions say that some players might be labeled as having "No Card", under what circumstance does this occur?
A: If they have not requested the player membership for processing or the request is in processing and not completed yet by USCS. As quick as USCS Admin as processed the player membership the expiration date replaces the "No Card" or previous registration date. No valid birth cert on file? Other? Players uploaded by the data submitted by the league will not allow them to upload a POB as it is grayed out so USCS Admin knows the data was imported from the previous system. Should there need to be a name/DOB change to this data they will be required to send us a copy of the players POB in order to make any updates to the data. All players the organizations add now will need a POB uploaded in order for USCS Admin to process.
Q: Can the roster be printed if not all players have been issued passcards? If yes, does this mean that only those players with passcards are eligible to play?)
A: Players are not covered members of USCS if we have not processed their membership.
One player will not hold up processing the team!
All memberships for players will be processed when reviewed as long as we have the following:
Team age group is correct with the players DOB
Head Coach is currently carded
POB is available (readable) to complete processing
A note will be recorded in the notes section advising the reason a player is pending.
Q: When would I, the registrar, know that a player passcard is not available for a player?
A: The registrar who makes a player / staff passcard request receives an email announcement showing membership has been completed. USCS Admin leaves a Registrar Note for each player or staff pending so they know why and can reply to the note
i.e. if a new POB has been uploaded
Q: I am still unclear on the relationship of Staff Management, the printing of coach pass cards and Risk Management.
What is the best/most efficient sequence of steps to get all of our coaches cleared for Risk Managment and pass cards printed? My understanding so far:
A: Under Staff Management tab, add all coaches not listed
Under Team Management, create the teams not already there and assign the applicable staff
Ask all current coaches to fill out the Risk Management application (no fee) under Resources->Staff Background Check? (the background check is run when passcards are requested in next step) Actually advise staff to fill out the application from the public website if organizations do not want staff to login. [www.usclubsoccer.org -> Registration -> Staff Background Check
"Request" Staff Passcards under Staff Management Passcards/Delete Staff button and this executes background check if expired/new Once the passcard is requested USCS Admin will look for their background check to process.
Print passcards when notified
Notification will be sent out shortly announcing that Coaches and Staff can begin filling out the Staff Background Check forms

Giordana Merino Wool Socks
|(0 Reviews)
Store PriceBuy Now
Product DescriptionWool socks have become a winter staple for us, and we love the stylized fashion of longer cuffs, which are the two main reasons we love Giordana's Merino Wool Socks work not only for our cycling shoes, but our casual shoes, running shoes, even dress shoes. The five-inch cuff helps with both warmth and versatility. As we've written before, wool doesn't have to be scratchy. Merino wool is soft and comfy. But in terms of overall use, durability and ease of care, 100% Merino isn't desirable. These socks are 57% Merino, 40% Polymide, and 3% Spandex. These socks will not stretch out with use and they go great with the rest of your

Tommy Smythe's Master Vignettes
House Tour
Name: Tommy Smythe
Location: Rosedale — Toronto, Canada
Size: 700 square feet
Years lived in: 3 — rented
If you live in Canada and have the slightest interest in design, you know Tommy Smythe. Tommy is the sidekick to Sarah Richardson, one of the most high profile designers and television personalities up north. Besides working together at her eponymous firm, they star together on two of HGTV's most successful programs: Sarah's House and Sarah's Cottage. Tommy regularly appears in print, online and on television offering decorating and style advice. It's a cliche to say that one's space is a reflection of their essence. In Tommy's case, a description of his interior is an apt description of him: engaging, intelligent and urbane.
Tommy collects an array of interesting objects, ephemera and antiques that are artfully presented in his apartment. Banal objects such as matchbooks or pencils (collected from his international travels) are united in vessels that are accessible and practical as well as sculptural and decorative.
Almost all of the furniture in Tommy's apartment is antique and comes from Toronto markets, antiques stores or consignment shops (in addition to many family heirlooms) — further evidence that a truly unique space prioritizes vintage and antique pieces before mass-market contemporary goods. Tommy is an eBay loyalist and has recently started touring Canada as an "ambassador" on behalf of the online auction behemoth. The small black jars in Tommy's collection are made of ebony for the French cosmetic trade during the late 19th and early 20th century.
Inspiration: Aesthetically, I wanted to go in the opposite direction of my previous (very small) apartment that was characterized by dark furniture, accents and walls. I had never had an all white living room and I had been trying unsuccessfully trying to convince clients to follow this idea. When I moved into this apartment (with 11 amazing 6' high windows) it just seemed like the obvious place to finally realize this idea.
Favorite Element: Although I collect an array of things and love antiquing, I am very sentimental about family heirlooms. The tall gilded French mirror belonged to my grandmother, herself a decorator (and collector). Over the course of her lifetime she had several grand residences, each an example of re-invention and always decorated under her direction. When she began to list how she wanted her most precious objects to be distributed amongst her family she said to me "Clearly the tall French mirror will go to Tommy". Clearly!
Biggest Challenge: The spacial arrangement of the apartment was a challenge as the bedroom was very small and the living room was large and awkwardly shaped. I have a strong preference for symmetry and the apartment's unusual layout resisted anything being centered. Also, because this was a rental there were elements that I had to disguise or downplay (instead of ripping them out and replacing) — notably the parquet floor. I used a major boldly graphic striped rug and the eye focuses on that immediately.
What Friends Say: Please let me know when you are moving out! I literally had a waiting list for this apartment as everyone was in love with the giant windows.
Biggest Embarrassment: The landlady's kitchen is directly above the bedroom. In an attempt to lessen the sound, she applied a perforated styrofoam ceiling in the bedroom.
Proudest DIY: Normally when working on an interior with a significant amount of art we will hire a team of professional art installers. I followed my gut and did the salon-style hanging above the couch by myself — totally old-school: no PhotoShop or computer designed mock-up. I leaned the works on the sofa and literally started hammering away. I think because I've lived with many of these pieces for years — whether they be blue-chip contemporary art, framed ephemera or cherished ancestors photos — my intuition was accurate when arranging them.
Biggest Indulgence: In 2003, I went to New York City with $10,000 — a significant amount of my savings at the time — for the Bill Blass estate auction at Sotheby's. He was a major inspiration to me and I was determined to acquire something that he had collected and cherished. The auction's tally quickly spiraled out of control and items that were estimated at $750 were hammering down at $7,500. At the end of the first session a Sotheby's employee recognized my dismay, tapped me on the shoulder and said "Don't worry, we're going to get you something." "Yeah, the catalog!" I answered. Fortunately, during the sale's second session, when more of the smaller items came up for sale, I won a brass magnifying glass and six letter openers. Of course provenance is important, but similar letter openers could probably be found at Portabello market for £50. Regardless, I gave the letter openers to my mentors as gifts and the whole experience was definitely indulgent —it has a meaning that resonates still today.
Best Advice: John Manuel was one of my mentors. He told me that every time you get a paycheck, to always buy one book. Today, I have a serious art and design library of over 1,000 titles that I enjoy and cherish in his memory.
(NOTE: John Manuel was a noted Canadian interior designer. In the 1950's he worked for Brunschwig et Fils and created the fabric "Les Touches". Tommy used it on the pair of wingback chairs in his living room. "Les Touches" is still being made today and remains one of the company's best selling prints.)

perfect in every way
Tommy always makes me laugh on Sarah's shows...
...this apartment is a great reflection of him - whimsical and traditional, yet luxurious.
beautiful place. i love him on the show. he and sarah are perfect foils.
Tommy is awesome!! I love, love, love his brutal honesty, saracasm, wit and of course, his ability to design and decorate!!
I love how his place is so eclectic without looking cluttered. It's refreshing to see a home that has evolved over time; not a matchy-matchy furniture set, dining room set, furniture set, etc. There's a story with every piece. LOVE IT!!
Big fan of his and now of his home. Gorgeous.
I love this apartment building, it's like living in a dreamy storybook, with a fantasy like garden. I love Tommy, he's so cool, has the greatest taste, a hell of a designer, and ofcourse I love Sarah,..seeing the two of them together on the show is a real treat!
tommy, your place is as adorable as you are!
i love tommy--i was so excited to see this house tour! the styling is beautiful.
Beautiful and elegant.
I adore Tommy.
I love Tommy and his home! I need to get myself a Tommy sidekick.....
Tommy's home is sort of and sort of not my taste, nevertheless it's a beautiful apartment.
Masculine, classic, stylish, fresh, crisp...... Should I keep going? It's perfect!
Wow, it's been that long since I've watched HGTV. Well, Tommy love your home, the colors/furniture/collected pieces and how it's all brought together. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing - and if anyone can let me know when this show aires? NY eastern time?? Much appreciated!
I love this one more. Take a few minutes for the video to load, but well worth it. http://tinyurl.com/kqgqys
Love Sarah. LOVE Tommy.
Tommy's expensive tastes are a running joke on the shows he's appeared on. What I'd like to know is if he's had to make compromises based on budget and how he managed to get the look he wanted using his own ducats. The place looks stunning, and I'm hoping for some tips!
I love Tommy :) He is the best part of Sarah's shows and it's so fun to see his apartment. Very interesting, very well done!
Gorgeous! I love the fireplace and all that adorns it. It feels lived in, which I think is wonderful. I love Sarah's House, so it's great to get a glimpse of Tommy's House. :)
I adore Tommy, and now his home. Traditional, whimsical, expensive, yet comfortable and approachable.
Is it just me or does it seem odd that he rents?...Sarah R has MANY homes and Im sure a lot of $$$ does he just rent because he likes rentals?
^^ This was a previous apartment of his. I believe he does own his own home now.
A past house of his was featured in Cdn H&H magazine too. Though it was the home of Tommy and his then-partner. So perhaps the rentals he's had in between were due to circumstances beyond money, not the least of which would undoubtedly be lack of time! Though I don't imagine he makes the same money as Sarah R.
Either way, he sure knows how to make rentals feel like a home.
One of the best shows on HGTV. Tommy and Sarah create some beautiful rooms. FYI. You can follow Tommy on both Facebook and Twitter.
Classy home for a classy guy! ~Tracy
Thanks nerdnik and anmar for the info...And I agree, his rental is beautiful!
not sure what other superlatives can be said about tommy or this place, but the man can put together a vignette.
love it love it
It is wonderful to see a place so bright and modern looking, yet using lovely antiques. Brilliant!
Love this too. If I had tons of money and lived in To, I would definitely hire Tommy and Sarah to decorate for me. It is a polar opposite to his last place which I also loved.
Pack your bags, but leave your stuff - you're moving out and I'm moving in :) My grandmother had a table that she painted a very close color to your yellow round in the living room. She also had the "eye" for what works. Like everything about your place! Thanks for sharing.
I am in LOVE with the large, white top coffee table in the living room. Does anyone know where I can get something similar? I have been without a coffee table for 2 years now on the hunt for the perfect one!
Either Tommy dressed himself (suit vest and jeans) to match his apartment or he designed his apartment to match his clothes. Either way, they're both fabulous! I'm off now to see what else I can find of Tommy's work. He and Sarah Richardson make a terrific duo.
I'm underwhelmed. Navy blue, wood & white. Big deal. No super hero here. The one thing that made him more human to me was the collection of paintings leaning against the bed.
I have that "I'll do it one of these days" pile too.
What a gorgeous place, what crappy photo quality.
Love Tommy, love his aesthetic and wit, and the moment on their show when he tried on the drum major's hat and it looked as though he might disappear? Priceless.
I like people, but I really, really like Tommy's personality. I have always loved modern but am considering antiques as I face moving to Florida. I wish Tommy a good and prosperous life. I am very happy to know of him. I watch Tommy on hgtv. What a sweet man. sincerely, mary
I love the chandelier in the bedroom! I happen to love the parquet floors too *gasp!*
Many people rent for convenience and location, not for lack of affordability.
That bedroom wall color is divine. Who knew something called Pigeon could be so lovely?
Thanks for sharing, Tommy, you apartment is so lovely! I would kill for the "dalmation" armchairs.
I love all Design Inc. shows (and I think it's a hoot how you keep Sarah in check during her house flips). :-)
Great apartment!
I love that big, oversized pillow on the bed in photo #17. It adds character and depth. Looks like something I would do.

Chicago After 3PM: From Big Cities to Small Towns
A subsection of the America After 3PM: From Big Cities to Small Towns Report looked specifically at variations in afterschool and summer learning participation and self care in four U.S. cities: Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York City. While parents in all four cities express significant support for afterschool programs and all have a significant percentage of children in summer learning programs, these cities vary in their rates of self care and afterschool participation. Across the board though, even in urban centers where afterschool typically thrives, too many children go home alone each weekday after school for lack of quality afterschool opportunities. Chicago After 3PM contains an overview of the data on afterschool in Chicago, followed by a description of how the city and state have supported afterschool programs.
Illinois After 3PM
In 2009, Illinois families were surveyed to see how many children are in afterschool programs, how many are unsupervised after school and how these numbers compare to five years ago. America After 3PM provides the most comprehensive and accurate picture to date of what this nation's youth are doing each day after school. With a sample size of nearly 30,000, the report provides an in-depth view of every state in the nation.
Released in May 2010, Special Report on Summer (PDF | Powerpoint) presents summer specific data from America After 3PM and provides state level data on how many kids are in summer programs, how many would be likely to participate and how strong parent support is for programs. Find all you need to know about America After 3PM Special Report on Summer in your state in the Illinois Press Release and in the chart below.
State Level Demand and Support for Summer Learning Programs

**-Other respondents answered "Don't Know"
In Illinois, 750 households were surveyed for this study. Among those households, 37 percent qualified for free or reduced price lunch, 12 percent were Hispanic and 14 percent were African-American. *According to U.S. Department of Education data from 2005-2006, the total school enrollment in Illinois is 2,284,610, which is the foundation for all statewide projections in Illinois.
America After 3PM Special Report on Summer was sponsored by The Wallace Foundation. All data cited in the report are from the 2009 America After 3PM research, which was sponsored by JCPenney Afterschool.

1. Active Directory
See the main Active Directory pages
Information on setting up Active Directory within Oxford is contained in a separate set of webpages. This is essential reading if you are planning to install Active Directory.
2. Activating Windows Server
See the Activating Microsoft Windows Operating Systems page for information on activating Windows Server 2008 and above (volume licence editions of Windows 2003 Server and below do not require activation).
3. WINS, Naming Standards and Network Browsing
See the pages at WINS, Naming Standards and Network Browsing
These pages really are essential reading. Many Microsoft operating systems rely on NetBIOS naming in order to locate domain, servers and clients and every Windows PC must be identified by a unique NetBIOS name. OUCS offers a central WINS Service for name resolution of NetBIOS names. Essential to this service are naming standards designed to prevent name conflicts that could disable networking on clients or servers.
With the advent of Windows 2000, Microsoft introduced the use of DNS for name resolution, meaning that NetBIOS name resolution is not necessarily required. However many systems still make use of NetBIOS names to locate machines, so don't disable this unless you understand the implications.
4. Backing up Using TSM
See the pages at Backing up Using TSM
Oxford has a Hierarchical File Server which can be used for backing up 2000 and 2003 servers, including Active Directory, using the Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client. It is a good idea also to have your own local backup solution.
5. Anti-virus
Oxford University has a site licence for Sophos Anti-Virus software. In addition to a standard local installation, Sophos can be installed onto Windows workstations from a central installation directory on a server so that when the central copy is updated, the workstation installations will automatically update themselves, which can save considerably on support time.
6. Desktop Management
6.1. Application Packaging and Deployment
In a managed desktop environment, application deployment generally needs to be automated. There are many tools and application suites that may be used to deploy applications across multiple computers. Those known to be in use across the University include Group Policy via Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft SMS, Novell Zenworks for Desktop and Altiris Deployment Solution. There are many other products available.
Application installations may need to be customised in order to deploy them via these methods. Broadly speaking there are two main approaches to package customisation; scripting using the existing installer mechanism, or repackaging. They each have advantages and disadvantages, and the method chosen may depend in part on the method chosen to deploy the application. Often a combination of methods is used, depending on the application.

The SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option enables local port scalability for a socket.
- 0x3006
The SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option enables local port scalability by allowing port allocation to be maximized by allocating wildcard ports multiple times for different local address port pairs on a local machine.
Proxy server environments have scalability issues because of limited local port availability. One way to work around this is to add more IP addresses to the machine. Another limitation is that by default, wildcard ports used with the bind function are limited to 64K on a local machine no matter the number of IP addresses on the local machine. Working around this requires the application to maintain their own port pool either with port reservation or by using some heuristics.
To avoid having every application that requires scalability from managing port pools, Windows Server 2008 provides a SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option that maximizes the wildcard port allocation. Port allocation is maximized by allowing an application to allocate wildcard ports for each unique local address and port pair. So if a local machine had 4 IP addresses, a potential limit of 256 KB (64 KB × 4) wildcard ports could be allocated used by wildcard bind function requests.
Using a SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option could unconditionally change the behavior observed by existing applications. In the past when an application binds to a wildcard port, it is implicitly guaranteed that the port that was allocated by bind is not available for use by any other application requests for wildcard binds on the local computer.
To allow for greater scalability and maintain application compatibility, Windows Server 2008 implements the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option in a way designed to minimize application compatibility issues. When the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option is set on a socket and a call to the bind function is made for a wildcard address and port (the name parameter is set with a wildcard address and a port of 0), Winsock will allocate a port for the wildcard address. This allocation will be based on all of the possible IP addresses and ports/per address on the local computer. This allocation will be further restricted to the degree that the wildcard port that was previously allocated can be used by only a single process. So if a wildcard port is allocated with the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option, then this same port can only be allocated on the local computer to the same process (if the other request also sets the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option and there are other IP addresses available on the local computer). This ensures different applications do not see this behavior change for a wildcard bind unless the application specifically requests it.
To have any effect, the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY option must be set before the bind function is called. Any example of how this would be used on a local computer with two multiple addresses is outlined below:
- The socket function is called by a process to create a socket.
- The setsockopt function is called to enable the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option on the newly created socket.
- The bind function is called to do a wildcard bind on the local computer and any available port. After the function call succeeds, the actual port that was used is saved for later use by the application.
- The connect function is then called to connect to a remote IP address. The socket is used by the application as needed.
- A socket function is called by the same process (possibly a different thread) to create a second socket.
- The setsockopt function is called to enable the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option on the newly created socket.
- The bind function is called to bind to another wildcard bind on the local computer and any available port. Even when all ports have been previously allocated, this call succeeds if their are multiple IP addresses available on the local computer since the SO_PORT_SCALABILITY socket option was set on both sockets in the same process.
- The connect function is then called to connect to a remote IP address. The socket is used by the application as needed.

Phoenix police have arrested the driver of a vehicle that slammed into a bus stop, killing a 50-year-old man and injuring another.
It happened about 4 a.m. Monday at the intersection at 27th Avenue and Indian School Road.
According to Sgt. Steve Martos, the vehicle ran a red light and swerved to avoid another vehicle before it crashed into the nearby bus stop. Martos says the driver and her passenger ran off after the accident, but the driver later came forward and called police.
A third person at the bus stop was able to get out of the way of the car before the crash and was not injured. There were about five to six witnesses at the scene.
Police have arrested the driver, 22-year-old Elsa Olivares. They believe drug and alcohol impairment to be a factor in this case. Olivares allegedly admitted to smoking marijuana and drinking.
Olivares has been booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, endangerment and leaving the scene of a fatal collision.
Officers are still searching for the male passenger of the car who took off from the scene. A description of the person has not been released.
The victim was identified as 50-year-old Harry Cleveland. The other victim who was hurt is in serious condition.
Family members of Olivares told FOX 10 she was at a get-together Sunday night and they asked her not to leave, but she got behind the wheel anyway. She is the mother of two young children.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

When the Westminster College swim team arrived for training in St. Petersburg, they could not believe their eyes. Standing poolside at the North Shore Aquatic Complex was a man some might consider an Olympic giant.
The Pennsylvania students would be sharing the water with Michael Phelps.
"We were standing there and we're like, 'That kid looks really like Michael Phelps,'" said Westminster College senior Carrie Whisel. "We were like, 'No he's too short. He's not even going to be here. He didn't say he was going to be here. It's probably not him.' Then of course later on, we find out that was Michael Phelps!"
Phelps, a 22-time gold medalist, was among the Olympians who trained in St. Petersburg Thursday afternoon. Others included gold medalist Allison Rodgers Schmitt.
The students called the opportunity to swim side-by-side with famous athletes inspiring.
"Honestly it is awesome, it's like a swimmer's dream to say you're swimming in the same pool," Westminister College swimmer Amanda Marlow told FOX 13 news.
"They always say swimming is underrated and it's what the Olympic swimmers do that brings such attention to the sport," said Whisel. "It's so cool to be right next to them. We're pushing off the wall and they're just right next to you. It's like pushing me to go faster. It's like pushing the whole team."
The city's Parks and Recreation director says some of the athletes are training for a meet in Austin, Texas later this month. They are part of the 2016 Summer Olympics team competing in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

NI needs corporate tax reduction for property boost
Northern Ireland will be able to capitalise on its competitive advantages over the Republic only if corporate tax is reduced.
That was the message from agent CBRE at a property market briefing to the Northern Ireland Assembly & Business Trust this morning.
Marie Hunt, executive director and head of research at CBRE in Ireland, said that while conditions in the commercial property market in Northern Ireland remain challenging, there was a need to focus on the positives.
She said that occupancy costs in Northern Ireland were at least 50% lower than those prevailing in the Republic and wage costs and house prices are considerably lower, but that many of these competitive advantages would be fully capitalised on only if there is a reduction in the rate of corporation tax in Northern Ireland.
According to CBRE, only 13% of office take-up in Belfast last year came from US companies, compared with 38% of the Dublin market.
The agent said that ensuring that Northern Ireland obtains autonomy to set its own rate of corporate tax and the promotion of the designation of enterprise zones had the potential to significantly boost much-needed foreign direct investment, reduce the traditional reliance on the public sector and create jobs in the region.
Brian Lavery, managing director at CBRE in Northern Ireland, said: "Northern Ireland has a lot of positive attributes. A wide range of small and medium-sized companies from the province are exporting goods and services all over the world. A number of new FDI announcements have been made in the past 12 months, encouraged by a young highly educated workforce, excellent broadband and transport infrastructure and the region's many competitive advantages.
"Rather than focusing on the negatives, which is all too easy in the current climate, we need to focus more intently on promoting the peace and stability message and on the specific areas where we can boost Northern Ireland's profile and prospects. This will reap benefits for the local economy and in turn boost the region's commercial property market."

Weekend Reading: Favorite Cookbooks on Baking Bread
Anyone doing any baking this weekend? We're still playing around with sourdough in our kitchen, which boils down to throwing a cup of sourdough starter in just about everything. (Pizza dough? YES! Muffins? Mmm...we'll get back to you on that one...)
If you're looking for some inspiration, here's a round-up of some of our favorite cookbooks. What are yours?
Some of these books have been with us from our first attempt at pancakes and others have become go-to books for all our baking questions.
Bread Alone by Daniel Leader
This book was our first introduction into sourdough and the world of artisan bread baking! We've used it so much over the years that the pages started falling out and now it lives in the purple binder pictured above!
The Bread Baker's Apprentice by Peter Reinhart
We bought this book when the bread baking obsession took over. It could be a bit overwhelming for absolute beginners, but it's a great resource for refining techniques and learning about the science and history of bread baking.
The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion
We've never had a recipe go wrong from this cookbook. Not only are the recipes delicious, but chapter openers and recipe head notes offer tips and tricks that teach baking fundamentals.
Baking Illustrated by The Editors of Cook's Illustrated Magazine
This is a new addition to our collection, but we can already tell that it will soon be as batter-splashed and chocolate thumb-printed as the rest of our books. Like the King Arthur book, this one aims to teach techniques and fundamentals along with their test-kitchen approved recipes.
The rest of these books are great recipe resources and are in heavy rotation in our kitchen:
The Tassajara Bread Book by Edward Espe Brown
Brother Juniper's Bread Book by Peter Reinhart
The Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum
The Bread Bible by Beth Hensperger
And since we're always ready to covet new baking books, what are your favorites?!

I'm still working with the sourdough too...haven't quite had a perfect loaf yet though. I tried the no knead bread with sourdough, but think maybe it needs to bake a little longer? anyone else try that?
The New York Times Bread and Soup Cookbook (from the '80s, I think).
My all time favorite bread book (so much so that it falls open to my most often used bread recipes) is Beard on Bread. It has a lovely companion book Beard on Pasta which is equally awesome.
The two were originally my fathers books, and they were given to me to use when I bought my own house. Excellent books, all around.
Nothing beats Bread Alone (ours is falling apart too, and the recipes make THE. BEST.BREAD.), although Local Breads is a nice compliment to it...
I've been a long-time fan of The Bread Baker's apprentice, but my new most-used book is "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day" I learned about here at the kitchn. We haven't had to buy a single loaf of bread since I brought that book home, and have been happily enjoying delicious homemade bread every day. Their method really is so easy; as much as I'll still take out my old faves when I want to spend a little time on something special, this book really does allow bread baking to become a daily event, no matter how busy you are.
Oh, goodness! How could I forget "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day"?! Actually, the answer is because I've been using it so much recently that it's become a semi-permanent fixture on my counter and got overlooked when I rounded up my other books!
I checked out King Arthur Flour's Whole Grain Baking from our library and was sad when I had to return it. I only baked the quickbreads and muffins, but the ones I did were delicious and didn't taste at all like "health food." I want my own copy now!
Peter Reinhart's new book on baking whole grain breads is also fantastic! It is a real reference that will continue to be useful.
The Bread Bible (and, really, any of Hensperger's book on bread or slow-cooking) rocks! Lots of info, nicely presented, great recipes. It's a cookbook you can sit down and read.
I loved reading the Bread Baker's Apprentice, but none of the recipes appealed enough to actually try baking them.
When I decided to get serious about bread, I followed the internet consensus to Bread Alone and it has made huge changes. I think Leader's new book, Local Breads, is a great follow-up, because in addition to local specialties, it is a kind of chronicle of all the ways his thinking and baking have changed since Bread Alone was published.
I love the Bread Baker's Apprentice and have had a lot of good results, the new whole grain one is great too.
Also, I have the Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book (Laurel Robertson et al) and have gotten some mileage out of it as well.
I second (or third) the praise for Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I always have a dough waiting in the fridge and we have freshbaked bread on a whim. Everything from fantastic rye to pita and a wonderful brioche that makes the most amazing cinnamon rolls. We are especially big fans of the semolina dough. Makes wonderful baguettes for sandwiches and also great pizza dough.
I brake for bread, and so should you!
I'm glad to see The Tassajara Bread Book in the list! Richard Bertinet's Dough: Simple Contemporary Breads was a good read, too.
Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads is about the most thorough and informative bread cookbook out there.
forgot about Baking with Julia -- a more general baking book instead of a pure bread book, but a favourite nonetheless!
I love Tassajara and the King Arthur whole grain book. I started with the Laurel's Kitchen bread book, but am not so crazy about it anymore. I've checked a couple others out from the library but never found anything that I love.
My current favourite bread cookbook is Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.
bread alone!
has anyone linked to theArtisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day site yet? as a new, aspiring baker, i've been perusing it quite a bit.
oh, and The Fresh Loaf. (and yes, i know these aren't cookbooks : )

Bryan adams, coming back to you. a song for stelena
@kay nice new icon. i need a icon. have you being a fb? theres some girl twittering on about d/e getting married even when i told her, that them pictures where scenes from s1, just changed colour of her dress, n you told her they were fake, she doesnt seem convinced.
@flora, i,ve seen that argumnet about stefan only wants elena because she looks like kat, n damon loves her because she's differnt from kat. i just told them that perhaps they should re watch the episodes, cos am pretty sure it was stefan telling lexi what he felt about elena and kat.
as for that fan not wanting to see s/e sex, just d/e, urghh their little make out session was enough for the whole lofe span of vampire diaries. to be honest even if they gave d/e a shot i dont think that they would ever go that far with them, i mean it could never live up to s/e's 1st time, with d/e i think it would probably be like 3.19. which you know we all like some of that sometimes, but really s/e's sexual realionship is potrayed more beautifully n intermate than d/e can ever. because even this is just another way of showing how different the relationships are.
@emily am going to read your repomses in a min. i couldnt reply to it all cos like i said it wouldnt post anything.
@emily. thank you for reading my fanfic, n reveiwing, its quite hard, plus am not the best speller, but like once i started it couldnt stop.
hi everyone, i couldnt contuine posting last night, cos it just kept putting evrything throught to moderation, even one word.
stefan attuitude isnt if i'm not having her no one is, its more am setting her free, cos theres things i cant give her. plus he was trying to kill klaus so he couldnt hurt elena anymore. n stefans right to tell him he wont have her respect at least not for along time, why should he, he's done alot to elenas close ones. n yes stefan was a monster but he never hurt anymone directly connected to them. plus his emitions were off, his humanity sliding away from him. whereas damon did things by choice, because he could.damon can do good deeds, but then can undo them very qickly. and even in 3,15 when he turned abby so stefan didnt have to, he makes it sound like a game to win elena. he doesnt immply that he;'s going to stop competeting against stefan.

Clare's Big Girl Restyle
My Room
Name: Clare (3)
Location: Wollongong, NSW Australia
When my daughter Clare went into a big bed, I decided it was time for a restyle. I wanted something simple that could be changed as she grows. So I opted to keep the room white and accessorize with lots of colorful textiles, artwork, and bits and pieces.
Apart from the bed, we already had the furniture (an Expedit bookcase and an Eames replica rocker). The bed is an IKEA one I picked up second hand. The counting banner was a thift shop find for two dollars. The reading corner was an addition, which includes the wonderful IKEA Ribba ledge. The lamp belonged to my husband when he was a child, a great vintage piece that has sentimental value. The top of the Expedit bookcase is perfect for keeping all the sentimental items that I want on display but out of little hands.
My next challenge will be decorating baby number two's room....
Thanks, Jenny! Well done!

What a cheerful room!
This is why I love white/light walls--they really provide a lovely calm background for the toys and books, which add color and life instead of being 'curated down' to what looks best.
This looks like a room that a little girl can live in and enjoy. Really nice.
What a gorgeous room!
And yes, I particularly like how white is the perfect backdrop for colorful toys and books.
Love. Wonderful pops of color. Great windows in room. I immediately knew it was an international room - always have great windows!
This is such a wonderfully colorful room! I absolutely adore it.
What a great room! Love that lamp shade and the mix of white walls and colorful furnishings. Just my style. I'm trying to get ideas for how to make something like this work for a slightly older kid.
Does anyone know anything about the side table? Or is it a stool?
Love the room! Lucky kid. As one who is very conscious of the fact that I never screw my Ikea furniture into the wall, even when they say I should, so am careful when using it (no kids here), every three year old I know (and/or their friends) would climb that Expedit in seconds to get what they want from higher shelves. I know they weigh a ton and don't seem like they'd tip, but never underestimate the effect of a child's weight hanging off it when they climb.
Perfectly wonderful!
I am pretty sure its from ikea too.....i think it is a stool..........
I am pretty sure its from ikea too.....i think it is a stool..........
Yes the stool/side table is from Ikea. The expedit certainly in heavy, especially when full. Funnily enough my three year old daughter has never tried to climb on it. The lamp shade is from a shop called Freedom in Australia. If you meant the lamp on the side table, its a vintage one.
Thanks Dream child organics! Love your choice of duvet cover. I almost went for a land of the nod zig zag duvet cover, but decided I like bright cushions instead, so went with plain white. The counting banner is just made of fabric. I think it came out of a pre-school near my home, as I found it at the thift store next door for TWO DOLLARS! It was the perfect find and the perfect colours. As for the other artworks on the wall at the head of the bed. The bird plate is just from Ikea and just stuck to the wall. The LOVE sign is a fabric book that was given to me by my Sister before Clare was born. The circles are just wooden embroidery hoops that I filled with some material I again found at a thrift shop. Always nice to hear some lovely comments on a room that my Daughter and I both love.

HOUSTON (KHOU.com) -- PETA members gathered in downtown Houston Monday to create a floor-length gown made of fresh collard greens for Earth Day.
The organization used the display to spread a "Go Green, Go Vegan" message and passed out leaflets to curious onlookers.
"This is a really fun and upbeat way to grab people's attention and pull them in," said Amanda Slyter, a campaigner for PETA. "We're out here today to get people to thinking about where their food comes from, and the impact that it has on the environment."
Slyter said in order to be an environmentalist it's a great idea to go vegan.
"Over 50 percent of global green house emissions are caused by raising animals for food; over 500,000 of our rivers and streams are polluted by factory farms," she said. "(It) takes about 13 pounds of grain and almost 2,500 gallons of water just to make one pound of meat – that's huge, all those resources could be given directly to people."
For people who find it hard to sacrifice a diet of meat simply for the planet's health, Slyter, a vegan for eight years, suggests considering your personal health too.
"The impacts that being vegetarian, being vegan has on your diet are tremendous, the top diseases that plague our country can be completely reversed, or greatly reduced by eating vegan," she said.
All in all, she said she hopes people will try veganism to help the environment, improve their health and help animals.

RACELAND, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A man is now in jail charged with stealing from students during graduation ceremonies at Raceland High School Tuesday night.
Raceland Police say that during the ceremony, Doran O'Neal, 59, of Raceland, stole about $40 and an iPhone from three purses that were placed in a side room. Officers say the thefts were captured on surveillance video.
Officers went to O'Neal's home to talk with him and say that his 22-year-old son, Justin O'Neal, answered the door. According to investigators, he initially told officers that his father wasn't home before finally admitting that he was home.
Police arrested Doran O'Neal for burglary, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and receiving stolen property charges. His son, Justin, was also arrested on a charge of charge of hindering an investigation.
Investigators say the elder O'Neal used some of the money to buy pizza, beer and pop.
In an interview with WSAZ.com following his arrest, Doran O'Neal admitted to stealing from the graduates, saying he was diabetic and feeling ill and that he needed to eat.
"I was sick and I did a foolish thing," O'Neal said.
According to the police report, O'Neal said he was in the school to get a drink of water. After being asked to leave, police say he returned and went through the purses.
Police also say they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia at O'Neal's home.
Both men are being held in Greenup County Detention Center.

The honeymoon's over - if there ever was one. One month into office, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown is at loggerheads with the legislative Republicans over whether to submit a ballot issue to the voters that would extend the temporary tax hikes for five years.
Even though Democrats have sizable majorities in each house, they are short by three votes in the Senate and two in the Assembly from the full two-thirds vote required in each house by the state Constitution.
Think about the logic: In California, a full two thirds majority is required to place an issue on the ballot to be decided by a simple majority of the state's voters.
All of this highlights the debate of how best to carry out democracy in California. For the legislature's Republican minority, democracy means that the people in their districts have elected their legislators to do what's best as they, the legislators, see it. The fancy term is representative democracy. For Brown and the Democratic majority, democracy is best defined by the people weighing in directly on perhaps the most important potential ballot issue in a decade.
After all, they're the ones who will foot the bill or face the consequences otherwise. Most observers call this participatory democracy.
It's a strange time to be debating the best way to express the people's will, but the bottom line is just that.
In the end, it's the Republicans who will be rolling the dice more than anyone else. If they prevent the issue from going to the voters, there will be howls up and down the state that democracy has been hijacked.
Normally, such cries might be ignored because most legislators come from safe districts where they are protected by huge majorities of their own party.
But that's under the old system where legislators redistricted themselves after the census. The system will change with the Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is likely to create many more competitive districts for 2012. That's when pay back time may occur.
Forget any idea of a honeymoon. Several legislators may be facing a nightmare, depending on what they decide to do on Brown's proposal and how the electorate reacts.

The latest from entrepreneurs, investors, and cutting-edge digital taste makers at South by Southwes
The well-equipped Vizio XVT3D650SV is the first passive 3D TV and provides an intriguing alternative to active 3D models, but subpar 2D picture quality hurts its appeal.
The Vizio E701i-A3 is the best value yet among 70-inch LED TVs.
The bare-bones Toshiba L5200 series offers respectable value for the money with fine picture quality for an edge-lit LED TV.
Albeit expensive and plagued by issues in 3D, the beautifully styled Sony KDL-NX720 outpaces the picture quality of most other edge-lit LED-based LCD TVs.
Vizio told us that its Google TV-equipped VIA Plus TVs, first announced at CES 2011, would be delayed until fall 2012, and will no longer include a full-array LED backlight.
Charging the right price for a very good picture, Panasonic's E60 LED LCD is one of the best values available among midrange TVs.
The midrange LG LA6200 LED LCD TV gets points for looks and smarts, but loses even more due to its picture quality.
Although its lovely frame is packed with well-executed features, the flagship-priced LG LA8600 series LED LCD TV has the picture of a midrange model.
The excellent yet expensive Samsung UNF8000 is a tour de force of LED LCD TV design, features, and picture quality.
The Sony W900A is a fine high-end LED LCD television, with excellent color performance and deep black levels.

Glad you enjoyed the pictures! Most of the posted shots were taken with a Canon D10 or an Olympus TG820. A few of the earlier ones with a Pentax W80.
I would recommend you spend a few more dollars and consider a Canon D20 or something from the Olympus TG800 series. The underwater and above water image quality will be noticeably better than the two you are considering.
I know there have been some highly rated Panasonic and Sony cameras over the last few years, but most ratings/reviews of point and shoot UW cameras never actually test real world performance when snorkeling, but rather use laboratory environments. Canon and Olympus products seem to consistently provide the best snorkeling results.
On Grand Cayman you can rent UW cameras from Cathy Church (no need for the housing when snorkeling). I think you can look on-line for other by mail underwater camera rentals options. Not sure if it is really cost effective, but if it is you can at least test a model before buying.

All over again.
The Brix
Rear 412 Brunswick Street
Guilty as charged - I fell in love with the Brix all over again. Intending to pop by for brunch but ended up running late, we were presented with the lunch menu, which appears to have similar dishes to the Bristot menu presented during the dinner service. The perfect excuse to drop by for brunch in the near future.
Cured Ocean Trout Nicoise Salad ($21)
More accustomed to punchier nicoise salads, the flavour was more subdued in comparison with the vibrant visuals. The ocean trout slivers were fresh, with egg crumbs, sweet and soft potato, an assortment of greens including celery and beans. The dehydrated black olives added flavour to the otherwise lightly dressed starter.
Shallot Tarte Tatin, Banyuls Caramel & Fromage Blanc ($17)
An absolute winner in my book. I caught a whiff of the tarte tatin from the neighbouring table and I couldn't wait for ours to arrive. The glistening golden brown caramelised shallots are so sweet and soft, and even though the pastry that lines the base is soaked with the juices (one of my pet hates is soggy pastry), you barely notice it. It's thin, buttery and tastes so good you want more. Needless to say, it gets even better with the flakier crust. The creamy fromage is light and provides a delicious contrast, as does the dainty shredded mixed greens.
Duck confit ($24)
The picture says it all. The golden skin is delectably crispy, and the duck flesh is beautifully tender and falls off the bone. I wasn't sold by the sauce but the duck confit was riveting on its own.
Flat White
White Peach & Frangipane tart ($14)
With gorgeous hues of pink and purple, the white peach tart was slightly sweet and sour, with a sweet crumbly frangipane filling.
It's a lovely spot for a champagne lunch with the ladies.
