Teddy Bridgewater Working Out With Antonio Brown
We all have social media. It's one of things for me a blogger that helps get info. Some people think it's creepy, some think it's awesome and then some think it's both. Nothing warms my heart more than a Teddy Bridgewater story. Then couple it with the fact I see him in the videos on my favorite receiver Antonio Brown timeline and it's a jackpot. If you follow Antonio Brown on Twitter (@antoniobrown84) or snapchat then you know he plays hard and works even harder. I hope for Teddy to get even an ounce of AB's work ethic and Teddy will be next level quickly. Trust me, I know Teddy works hard but AB is the best in the world in my opinion when it comes to off-season conditioning. Maybe that's debatable. Then again, maybe it's a product of the creepy, amazing exposure of social media.
Lamar Jackson: #401 Ranked Recruit In His Class LOL (Video From @TheACCDN)
I got home and checked my e-mail. I do this every day after I get home from work and or the gym. I subscribe to the ACC Digital Network on YouTube. I get a lot of messages from them throughout any given day but when it is UofL stuff I post it. I seen the title: Lamar Jackson Is A Beast. It would have been easy to title this story that. It took me exactly 12 seconds into the video to figure out that was an understatement. He was ranked 401st in his class. I had no idea but I felt like that would be enough to grab your attention. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did. I am hungry for Louisville Football and this satisfied my hunger….for the moment.
Cardinals On The NFL Breakout List
USA TODAY posted a list of their predictions for the top 10 breakout players for the 2016 season. 2 of them were former Cards. 1 of them was on his way to super-stardom last year. The other had the potential to be a big star but didn't get an opportunity.
Teddy And Gorgui: March Madness Memories
I was scrolling through Twitter on a March Madness-less Friday. Looking for anything to help take my mind of things. As always, Twitter never let's me down. I see the title: Teddy Bridgewater has fond memories of UofL's March Madness. I was intrigued. 1) I love Louisville 2) I love Teddy 3) I love Gorgui. Win-win-win. Here's an excerpt followed by the link to the full article where he talks in-depth about the Louisville championship run and current Minnesota Timberwolves and former Card Gorgui Deing
55 (Season 2 Episode 3)
This week on 55……….
We talk Cardinal Camo…….YES…..Cardinal Camo. We go over huge upsets and letdown. We go over the wet, wet, win in South Florida and a slew of other great but random things that have happened this week. Glad to have 55 back for you guys after the hiatus last week. Without further adieu, here are the 55 greatest, most ridiculous or random things I have heard, had to debate, or just thought about this past week. This …..is……55.
1) First off I want to wish my mom a speedy recovery. She means the world to me and normally I don't talk about personal issues on 55 but if you get a moment, say a prayer. I put her for #1 because she is my number 1….mushy I know (Don't care)
55 (Episode 21)
This week…..on 55…..
We talk Season Finale. Great season by Shoni as the Women's Basketball run came to an end. Another era ended. We asked you what your Top 25 moments were of this season and you tweeted them to us. In a 2 week time frame that has felt like the worst time frame in our lives, was there a bright spot? Were there 2? Were there 3? (Shoni may agree) The Year Of The Cardinal may have some to an end but it's not the end. It also wasn't the only streak that ended this weekend. So here we go, here are the 55 most ridiculous things I have heard, had to debate, or just thought about this past week. This …..is the season finale of……55.
Here we go……….
1) On Tuesday night, the amazing career of Shoni Schimmel and the unforgettable season of the University of Louisville Women's basketball team came to an end when they lost to Maryland 76-73 at home in the KFC YUM! Center. Shoni scored 31 points and added 5 steals and 4 assists while playing the entire 40 minutes. After a slow start to the 2nd half, Shoni erupted with back to back 3's in the final 30 seconds and had a chance to tie it with one of the best drawn up and executed plays I have seen in my life. It didn't go in. Asia Taylor added 12 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds. Antonita Slaughter scored 16. Thank you Seniors for the great ride and thank you Shoni as I am sure that your jersey will hang from the rafters one day, and this next picture that I've used several times this season will forever remind CardNation of what you are all about.
3) If only there was something Shoni could do within those next few days to lift her spirits and the spirits of CardNation…..
4) Oh Yeah
6) Shoni beat all of the ladies to win the women's title, then beat men's winner Brady Heslip to win the overall championship. Great day had by all…well except Oddysey
8) As @Slaughter_4 said……You mad?
9) #SheMad
10) Moving forward
11) On Thursday I asked you guys to send me your 2013-14 moment of the year so I could include them in this season finale. I got a lot of responses and I can't include the duplicates but here are your top moments of the year.
55 (Episode 19)
This week…..on 55…..
As we come down to the last few episodes of 55, it's only fitting that the end of the basketball season is near too. I just wish there was something to talk about. Oh yeah…we get uk again! So in the spirit of revenge on those we despise more than Digger Phelps (I may have went too far) here are the 55 most ridiculous things I have heard, had to debate, or just thought about this past week. This …..is….55.
1) On Thursday night we opened up our defense of the National Championship with a tough game vs the Manhattan Jaspers, coached by former Louisville asst coach Steve Masiello. I like to believe we played the basketball version of a game called chess. Rick didn't want to embarrass Mass so we played tit-for-tat (lol) and won the game when we needed to. Played smothering defense as well.
3) Well that had the opposite effect than I intended
4) Nevertheless, we move onto our next conquest which are the mighty Billikens of Saint Louis. Top 10 team at times this year, former conference foes…what could scare us about the Billikens?
6) Oh yeah..That was creepy….in more ways then one
7) I digress

I have mixed feelings about this product. I found that this product only works well if applied on damp hair and then blow-dried. It gave my hair a lot of shape and it had a soft textured look that would last for hours. This product says you can use it on dry hair, but when I used it on dry hair, it gave my hair a disgusting texture - it looked and felt sticky and greasy!

It's that time of year again—the leaves are changing, the air is crisp. Kids are planning their Halloween costumes and parents are stocking up on candy. It's the perfect time of year to pull on a cable knit sweater and visit the sprawling gardens at Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial State Park, the subject of our October digital desktop calendar. Located in Waterford, Connecticut, the gorgeous seaside property is featured in New England's Historic Homes & Gardens, a stunning book profiling several historic sites that are great to tour in the fall (and year-round!), as well as breathtaking photography taken by William H. Johnson. Though the mansion itself is closed until Memorial Day, the property's expansive 230 acre grounds are open year-round. For more on Eolia, check out our "Historic Homes in Bloom" blog series.
October is also the ideal month for leaf peeping! Take a look at past posts on the William Cullen Bryant Homestead in Western Massachusetts or Hildene in beautiful Manchester, Vermont, which were both featured in New England's Historic Homes & Gardens. For more great foliage-focused trip ideas, check out the About.com New England Travel website, written by UPP author Kim Knox Beckius, who is an expert on the region's fall colors. Visit her page for information on the best places to view vibrant yellow, dazzling orange, and red leaves.

The DRG Distro
We are happy to report that the DRG is in full swing and work on the first project has already begun in earnest. The DRG Distro, a custom UNIX distribution designed specifically for the DRG community is currently undergoing development and testing. An early prototype is already running on a number of DRG nodes and a limited release edition will be made available to a round of beta testers, partners and supporters over the coming weeks.
The DRG Distro will be made available to the community at no-cost and offer a number of useful services we are all very excited about. While the DRG Distro may be useful as a standalone distribution, it will provide the most benefit when integrated into the DRG Network, which combines DRG insight, analysis and tools to provide actionable intelligence to the Internet security community.
Making up the DRG Distro are a set of tools or modules that can be enabled or disabled based on the operator's preferences/restrictions. Integration into the DRG Network is also a local decision and if selected will enable access to the latest tools, insight and distro updates.
As always, we welcome your feedback and comments.

Kick-off Team
After over 120 that initially expressed interest in DRG, approximately 1/3 were selected for the formal interview process. We have scaled back our initial kick-off team, which resulted in us being able to only place 1 out of 5 interview candidates. We have selected a DRG manager from the list of candidates and that person is spearheading the team building process. Notifications to all remaining interview candidates are going out this week. The initial DRG focus will be on a single project. In due time we plan to grow the team and take on additional projects as originally planned. Stay tuned!

DRG Executive Council
We are pleased to announce that the DRG Executive Council has formed, have already gotten together twice and is off to a roaring start. They are thinking hard and exchanging provoking ideas about what DRG can, should and will become. We expect to have a finalized report from them over the coming weeks. While we wait, allow us to introduce you to them:
Cecil is the Training Manager for the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC). Prior to this, Cecil was a lecturer in the Faculty of Information Technology at the Queensland University of Technology, focusing particularly on internetworking subjects. He has been involved in Internet training and support from the initial AARNET days. Cecil is originally from South Africa, but has lived in Israel and the UK prior to migrating to Australia in 1989. Cecil holds a BSoc and a MSc in Computer Science. Cecil is currently responsible for the development and management of APNIC's training and education activities.
Patrick first started in Network Security at Oxford University where he dealt with incidents such as Code Red, Melissa, Slammer, botnets and more. From there he moved to become the global CERT manager for Deutsche Bank, dealing with both insider and outside security breaches. He is currently Network Manager at Warwick University, ensuring that security gets built into the network from the ground up.
Lari holds an MA in Linguistics and Computer Science from the University of Helsinki. Prior to working for Codenomicon he was employed by the University of Helsinki, the Finnish Security Police SUPO and NBI Finland. While working for the police, he was active in different international security efforts. For example, he has participated in the Interpol Working Party IWPITC-E and the International Botnet Task Force. He is a postgraduate student at the Oulu University Secure Programming Group, OUSPG.
Dr. Kossakowski was instrumental in starting CERTs throughout Europe and promoting their role internationally. Since he learned about trojans and viruses 20 years ago, he tries to prepare for the unexpected; against companies, governments and the common user. He worries about the usage of suspicious executable code and worries about the impact malicious code may have. Recently he has been working on scalable infrastructures to handle the security needs of very large user communities. He has become more obsessed with the management, or lack thereof, of the risks and vulnerabilities in his academic work.
Ben joined Teneros from NeuStar, Inc. (NYSE: NSR), where he was appointed Senior Vice President for Ultra Services, following NeuStar's acquisition of UltraDNS Corporation in April 2006. Ben had been President and CEO of UltraDNS since 2001. He is a proven leader who has earned his outstanding reputation by repeatedly creating sustained value in a number of high-growth businesses. He grew UltraDNS into a profitable, high-growth company that provided infrastructure solutions to over 20% of the Internet and thousands of global enterprises. Prior to joining UltraDNS, Ben was Vice President of Marketing at Edge Connections, where he was responsible for creating and implementing its national brand and deploying a strategy for its service offering. He was responsible for forging key strategic alliances necessary for the company's subsequent long-term growth. As Director of Marketing for Logix Communications, Ben successfully launched the company's CLEC/broadband services in over 20 markets. He has also held highly successful leadership positions in marketing and strategy at MCI Communications and communications consulting firm QSI. Ben serves on the board of directors for a range of messaging and service companies including 3jam Inc. and PeerInfluence, Inc. He is also an investment partner with the San Francisco Arts Fund.

Full Form of PCO :
Public Call Office
PCO Full Form is Public Call Office. PCO is a telephone facility offered in public places to facilitate the public in India. Though these have almost vanished from the streets of major cities, there are still certain places in the cities and small towns where PCOs are found. It is a coin operated pay phone system, which is automated or manned. BSNL is a public sector firm, which organized the largest installations of PCOs all over India.
However, few private sector operations like Tata Indicom, Reliance, Idea, Airtel, etc. who have installed PCOs moderately in public areas. There are two kinds of PCOs – wireless and landlines. Wireless PCOs apply two major technologies such as GSM and CDMA. Tata Indicom and Reliance are pre-paid PCOs with CDMA technology. On the other hand, Idea, Hutch, and Airtel, are GSM based connections.
PCO Full Form – Additional Information
Talking about Public Call Office sure brings back memories from the time when cell phones were rare and every minute mattered. All of it would lead us to a Public Call Office, which will hereinafter be referred to as PCO throughout the article. PCO is a dear term; particularly dear to all those who have gone through the age of no cell phones and a palpable presence of communication gap. One would stand up in a long queue and wait for his or her turn to come.
He or she would dial the number, hope for the call to be picked up, talk for that much time for which he or she could afford the money, and then goodbye. Such were those days when not everything was on the phone and a few seconds away. To those who never used a PCO (or have hardly heard about, which I find surprising), a PCO is a telephone facility which is situated in a public area in countries such as Pakistan and India. PCO is commonly known as the public telephone box in the United Kingdom. In the United States of America, a payphone is a fashionable term for a PCO.
PCOs were installed at the time when personal telephones were luxuries and middle and lower class people found telegram and letters too slow for communication. The working of PCOs has dramatically changed with time, however, with the advent of mobile phones and the incredible increase in their use; PCOs are now becoming things of the past. Nevertheless, they have a history and we shall discuss a few things about them because for many of us, they have been one of the most treasured gifts of technology. So, here are five points about PCOs that everyone should know about. Here we go!
PCOs and India
PCOs were immensely popular in India two decades ago. Now most of them have become defunct. In India, there are both manned and unmanned PCOs currently operational. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (abbreviated as BSNL) is a public sector corporation, which presently has the biggest installation of PCOs across the country. The credit for the introduction of PCOs in India goes to Mr. R. L. Dube, an officer of the department of telecom. As of the year 2006, there were in the neighborhood of 4.2 million PCOs operational in the country. This is as per the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (abbreviated as TRAI).
Apart from public sector networks of PCOs, there are a few private sector telecom companies such as Tata Indicom, Idea, Airtel, and Reliance that have installed a considerable number of PCOs in the country. In the country, there are two categories of PCOs: wireless and landline. The wireless one uses two technologies, namely: Global System for Mobile Communication (abbreviated as GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (abbreviated as CDMA). Airtel and Idea are GSM based prepaid PCO providers. BSNL, MTNL, and Airtel have provided for fixed landline postpaid PCOs as well across the country.
PCOs and Pakistan
As mentioned earlier, PCOs were and are predominately found in India and Pakistan. In Pakistan, the PCOS are operated by the Pakistan Telecommunication Company (abbreviated as PCTL), Telecard, Diacom, and Worldcall. There are other telecom providers holding networks of PCOs across the country. All of the aforementioned companies provide for PCOs that have card based services for domestic and international calls.
PCOs and the United States of America
A handful of telecom companies manage networks of PCOs, also known as payphones, across the country. Such companies include SBC telecom and Verizon. The former operates PCOs which are credit card operated. In the country, there are both manned and unmanned phone booths, with later being more popular in use and establishment.

Facing your fears & new hobbies
On Saturday I actually woke up feeling quite confident and ready to take it on. I decided the best way to face these things is to try and convince yourself that you are going to love it, not hate it. But still, this positive mental attitude wasn't quite enough to quash my trembling knees and pounding heart as I sat on stage watching my co-speaker Natasha of Candy Pop deliver her talk to the 100+ women in the room. When my time came, I must say initially I was nervous, but once I got into my 10 minute talk, I actually started to enjoy it! Perhaps your body can only take up to a certain level of stress before it starts to calm itself down, or you just suddenly realise that its not so scary after all! The adrenalin rush and sense of achievement afterwards was pretty immense, and I was so proud of myself for just going ahead and doing it.
Whenever I was first asked to speak back in January, my initial thoughts were 'how do I get out of this?' - but I am so glad that I decide to challenge myself and do it. A couple of days before the event I seen a tweet from Jane Toft, the editor in chief of The Simple Things & Mollie Makes magazines, which was a quote that simply said: 'Life begins at the end of your comfort zone'. This was so poignant for me at that time before the talk, as I realised that these are the kinds of things in life that really make you feel alive. Those things that genuinely scare you and challenge you to the limit, but afterwards are the most rewarding and exhilarating.
If you were at the talk on Saturday I'd love to hear what you thought! Constructive criticism welcome! Also, a huge thank you to my fellow ' living the lifestyle dream' bloggers, Natasha and Rachelle, it was amazing to be talking with such talented ladies! And thanks to Sian for putting on the event, no mean feat that's for sure!
It was a well organised event with lots of great talks going on, as well as a delicious lunch and one of my favourite things of the day - the Mollie Makes and Homebarn collaboration, where a beautifully styled 'nook' was set up so you could sit down, relax and learn to crochet! Something I've been wanting to learn for ages. Now I say relax, but I'm not sure if I was particularly relaxed as I battled with the crochet hook! But it really is quite the addictive activity, and I've since been glued to YouTube, trying to perfect my granny square!
It definitely was an invaluable experience and I've already signed up for my next public speaking engagement in July! And I hope to share my first completed granny square with you soon!
Whatever it is that scares you in life, just remember the quote: 'Life begins at the end of your comfort zone' - it's now stuck next to my computer screen to remind me never to consider turning down great opportunities again because of my own personal insecurities. I suggest you do the same...!

I honestly loved your talk, you didn't look nervous you looked very at ease. You inspired me so much to believe that if you work hard you can achieve dreams, I am so pleased to have heard you, I have been looking through your mag since cybher, going to put them on my iPad tonight.ReplyDelete
Thanks you for coming xxReplies
thanks again Kara! So great to hear from someone who was in the audience, and that the talk did its job - to inspire! :)Delete
enjoy catching up on the back issues of 91!
You are so inspiring hun, massive respect to you, not sure I could ever be that brave - I'm really looking forward to your talk at Paperfest! Dream big! Awesome pics too! xReplyDeleteReplies
thank you hun! I'm really looking forward to that one now, I think I'll be getting inspired by all you paper girls! ;)Delete
Well done for overcoming your fear, I was so sad not to be able to make it to Cybher - I'm sure your talk was amazing! I am also not one for speaking publicly....probably not helped by the drama teacher at school always shouting at me in assemblies because I wasn't 'projecting' enough. Anyway...rant over ;) well done again and when you master the granny square please help me - I have all the gear & no idea!!ReplyDelete
thanks Ailie, I don't think anyone really enjoys public speaking! But you should definitely take the opportunity if it comes up sometime, I found its really not as scary as it seems.Delete
and def get yourself on YouTube for crochet lessons, there are some really comprehensive ones! xx
Well done on overcoming your fear. But an even bigger well done for taking up crochet! It's the most amazing hobby to have. Once you're hooked on crochet, you're hooked for life. YouTube is great for learning to crochet (that's how I learned). Just remember that there are US and UK crochet terms so make sure you watch a video that is appropriate for how you were taught at the Mollie Makes event. I presume they would have taught you in UK terms...? Natasja (crochetime.wordpress)ReplyDeleteReplies

Ergonomic Mouse
If you're like most people, you probably spend a good deal of time every day on a computer, and much of that time interacting with a mouse. The problem is that a traditional mouse leaves your hand in a non-ergonomic position, which can lead to pain and discomfort. Ergonomic mice are designed to put you in a more neutral position, allowing you to work comfortably, reducing strain, and helping prevent and alleviate long-term repetitive stress injuries. For improved hand, wrist and arm comfort, an ergonomic mouse makes a huge difference.learn more

We've all witnessed the moment when a tough prizefighter becomes a world heavyweight champion. And for Team Corvette, that proud transition occurred during the sixth generation of their vaunted sports car. Sure, there'd been many instances of greatness up to that point: the original Sting Ray, the 'King of the Hill' ZR-1 and even the cult-adored C5 hardtop. But the 2005-2013 line-up, a roster that included this incredible Z06, is when a patriotic muscle car became a world-class sports car. Wrapping Le Mans-inspired athleticism in the sensory allure of brilliant Atomic Orange paint, this brutal Vette offers world-beating performance for about half the price of a stuffy European import. And if you enjoy lapping like a warrior and cruising like a king, it's your chance to step in to the ring!
With only 5,745 miles on its bright digital odometer, this showroom-fresh Chevy is an as-new garage queen that's assembly line perfect in virtually every way. The car's wide-body profile wears $300 of optional Atomic Orange Metallic 2-stage, which does an exceptional job of highlighting trim that's shared with the lauded 427 Convertible and attractive C6 Grand Sport. That trim begins at an aggressive fascia, progresses through a carbon fiber front-clip, and flows into re-engineered quarters. A subtle rear spoiler, cool "Z06" fender emblems and standard HID lighting mix tasteful form with convenient function. And it all adds up to one seriously capable sports car that'll show with the finest classics and run with the fastest challengers!
Like its incredible paint, this Corvette's engine highlights classic Chevy appeal with a virtual lifetime of technological improvement. Twisting 505 SAE-certified horsepower into a massive 470 lb./ft. of tire-shredding torque, the lightweight LS7 rumbling beneath the car's hood is a 21st century testament to the bowtie division's enduring small block V8. Founded in GM's very successful Corvette racing program, the brutal mill utilizes a forged crank, titanium rods, hypereutectic pistons and a high-lift cam to flat out whip pretty much anything with four wheels. A perfect amount of oxygen flows from an isolated filter element through a low-restriction, cross-flag-branded air tube to a familiar GM throttle body. That wind mixes with fuel in a lightweight composite intake on its way to C5R-inspired, CNC-ported cylinder heads, which are built with a combination of titanium and sodium-filled valves. When those valves open, spent gases roar through hydroformed headers, close-coupled catalytic converters and aggressive, vacuum-actuated mufflers. One of the most impressive aspects of the big displacement small block is a competition-bred dry sump lubrication system. And best of all, all that performance happily thrives on everyday pump gas!
Featuring a roster of hardware that was heavily influenced by the C6R, the C6 Z06 hangs an aluminum body structure over 1-piece hydroformed perimeter rails and a carbon composite floor. The car's wide, carbon fiber fenders cover a 4-wheel independent suspension that's complete with GM's impressive Active Handling system. At the center of those bones, a Tremec TR6060 6-speed engages a high capacity clutch to jerk a limited-slip differential and sporty, 3.42 gears. Speed-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering ensures turn-in is light and constantly engaging. At the corners, a Delphi 4-channel antilock braking system clamps 6 and 4-piston calipers on massive cross-drilled rotors. And power pounds the pavement via optional chrome wheels, which spin 275/35ZR18 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar radials in front of 325/30ZR19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar radials.
Behind the doors you'll find an Ebony leather interior that balances modern convenience with a fair amount of style. The car's power-adjustable seats are supple and supportive. A "CORVETTE" branded dash hangs electroluminescent telemetry between a small Head Up Display and optional infotainment, which pipes Navigation, MP3 playback and XM Radio through a 7-speaker Bose sound system. Below that dash, a broad console balances a short-throw shifter between clean carpet, metal foot pedals and "CORVETTE" branded sill plates. In front of the driver, a leather-wrapped steering wheel laps a standard tilt column. And naturally, all the luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar sports car are present and accounted for including: OnStar, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, Universal Home Remote, keyless entry with pushbutton start, power windows, programmable door locks, an auto-dimming mirror, and a standard theft deterrent system.
By now, you already know that this Corvette is an incredible value. But, for good measure, here's a detailed look at the car's original window sticker.

This lovely family cottage is located on Lake Huron, 3 minutes south of Mackinaw City. Away from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough for a quick trip for your evening guilty pleasure of Mackinaw fudge or a fresh churned ice cream cone. Enjoy the incredible views of Mackinac Island, Bois Blanc Island and the Mackinac Bridge from the privacy and comfort of the spacious sun room. With seating for 10, it will be the focal point for your family gatherings. There is space for everyone and the room welcomes you to sit back and relax. Play a game of cards, or tell ghost stories - it's a perfect place to reconnect with your family or friends. The cottage was completely remodeled in 2010 - everything, including appliances, are new.
The Mackinaw House is an opportunity to find peace, tranquility, joy and adventure. With a view of one of the world's most beautiful bridges, and Mackinaw Island which is majestically set between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas our home is a perfect vacation destination. Nestled in Northern Michigan, the Mackinaw House is a safe and charming location for your next visit to the shores of the Straits of Mackinac.
The Mackinaw House is a two story structure with an interior decorated with family heirlooms and paneling made from native species of wood. The first floor is inviting and calming with one bed room, a mud room including a washer and dryer, a full kitchen and dining room, a small den, and a full bathroom. The Mackinaw House is a getaway, a true oasis away from the rat race, with stunning sunrises and a palette of colors at sunset.
The second floor has a rustic feel with log walls in the family room, two bedrooms and a second bathroom. The walls in the bedrooms are a combination of light cheery colors and knotty pine wood. The family room has a television, couch, and an additional dining room table and hutch. There is a very small kitchenette in the back of the family room. The Mackinaw House was built with our own hands with the intention of creating a lake house with that "welcome home" feel. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
They say "location is everything" and you won't find a better location to enjoy all that Northern Michigan has to offer.
If you are interested in star-gazing, the night sky over Lake Huron is beautiful. You can also drive 10 minutes to the Headlands - recently designated as a 'DARK SKY PRESERVE' - one of only 10 locations in the USA! This is given to a few special areas that are free of artificial light. The night sky is breathtakingly beautiful!
In the winter, you can be on the slopes of Nubs Knob or Boyne Mountain in less than 30 minutes. If you prefer snow-shoeing or x-country skiing, the area offers the Headlands, Wilderness State Park or Mill Creek - all minutes away. The beautiful Mackinaw to Midland snowmobile/bike trail is easily accessed from the driveway of the cottage. Interested in a little more adventure? Try a dog-sled ride through the wilderness from a local musher! Also a great base-camp for hunters.
In the spring, birdwatchers gather from all over the country to catch a glimpse of the incredible hawk migration.
Lake Michigan,Historic Fort Michilimackinac and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, the ferry docks to Mackinac Island - are all minutes away.
In the fall, take the color tour through the "tunnel of trees" or enjoy spectacular scenery in the Upper Peninsula, an easy drive across the mighty Mackinac Bridge. There's nothing quite like the sound of bugling elks during mating season at Pigeon River or the mysterious call of the loon on a quiet lake. It's all here! Hunt, fish, hike, canoe, bike – you can do it all or you can just relax by the cozy fireplace with a good book.
A vacation at the Mackinaw House is an opportunity for family fun. There is something for everyone where the waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet. The area is rich in natural beauty, history, and unique opportunities on Mackinaw Island; to visit a place that really is "somewhere in time."
Activities within a few miles include golf, hiking, guided tours, jet skiing, parasailing, bicycle paths, sightseeing, lake cruises, local cuisine, Fort Mackinac, horse- drawn carriage rides, historical treasures, state historic parks, butterfly conservatory, ferry boats, and much more…
Activities within forty-five minutes or less of the house include downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snow mobile trails, the historic downtowns of Petoskey and Harbor Springs and all of the opportunities of music, entertainment, and culture available year – around in Northern Michigan.
Mackinaw Getaways is now able to offer cottage accommodations to sleep up to 40 people. With many cottages to choose from, this is the perfect location for wedding parties, family reunions or other small gatherings. If you're planning a Mackinac Island wedding and need accommodations for your guests, we have the perfect solution.
Enjoy charming cottages, all with fully equipped kitchens (some even include a washer/dryer), screened-in porch, picnic area and firepits for evening campfires with friends and family - all a stones throw from the Mackinac Island ferries. Call us for more information.
We can help you plan a variety of Ecotour packages in the summer and fall. Interested in kayaking the Straits of Mackinac or the Les Cheneaux Islands? How about a guided bike tour or a birding excursion? We can hook you up with an experienced guide (all equipment included) for an unforgettable adventure.
Book your perfect Northern Michigan getaway today!
The beach is rocky so bring your water shoes.
Perfect cottage on the lake, you couldn't ask for anything better than this. The cottage reminded me of my childhood go to grandma's house and spending my summers with her.
The accommodation's were perfect, location was the best, lots of privacy.
I highly recommend the Mackinaw House for your family vacation.
What a wonderful location and a beautiful house! 10 minute drive from the Mackinaw pier. Right on Lake Huron with an awesome view of the Mackinaw bridge. The sunroom was a wonderful room to spend time with friends and family, day or night! We enjoyed every minute there! Would go back in a heartbeat!
We really enjoyed our time at the cabin on Lake Huron. The view is spectacular and the little beach area with fire pit was one of our favorite places to be. It was so nice to have all the local brochures at the cabin, that was really helpful. We did meet Bailey, the neighborhood dog, but since we were all adults and no children to play with, that time was short. Liked hearing the waves at night in the upstairs bedroom. The bunk beds were a challenge for an adult but we made it work. Twin beds would have worked better for our situation. Would definitely come back and will refer this cabin to my friends and family.
Beautiful views of Mackinaw Island and the bridge. Just a short drive from downtown. Loved the tranquility of the cottage location, so homey and plenty of room to gather family and friends.
This house is very charming, with a somewhat unusual, but functional floor plan. We loved the view of Lake Huron, Mackinaw Bridge, and Mackinac Island. We explored the lake with the available canoe, very enjoyable. There were biting flies by the shoreline, but if it was breezy, they disappeared. The enclosed porch area was delightful, however not all of the windows had screens, and one of the screens was bent with a gap. We would have preferred to have a TV downstairs. The laundry room was a huge bonus for us, kitchen was well supplied, and beds were comfortable. Wish the bedrooms had ceiling fans since there is no AC, although there were a couple portable fans provided, and we also brought our own fan.
Our family had a great vacation in this home. It is very large and easily accommodated our group of 9. The upstairs pullout couch was broken, however we had an air mattress which easily solved that problem. The lake views are gorgeous, the fire pit was wonderful to use each night. The house was in a wooded area and felt very private. It's right on the lake, so if you have kayaks it would be a great place to use them. Everything is convenient to Mackinaw City, and 5-8 min drive into town. We would definitely stay here again!

Rafael Benitez steps into the tie looking to guide his team back to winning ways after a 2-0 defeat to defending Premier League champions Manchester City in their last league fixture.
The Spaniard's job has been under question all week despite their 2-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, and the pressures of finishing third from the fans looks to be showing after his midweek rant.
Only nine points behind Chelsea, Steve Clarke's West Brom side have won two games in a row and the former Chelsea player and coach will be delighted if his side can produce the same result as when they met earlier this season.
KICK-OFF: Saturday, 3pm
West Brom 2 (Shane Long, Peter Odemwingie) Chelsea 1 (Eden Hazard), Premier League, November 2012
West Brom 1 (Gareth McAuley) Chelsea 0, Premier League, March 2012
Chelsea 2 (Nicolas Anelka, Florent Malouda) West Brom 1 (Shane Long) Premier League, August 2011
Both Roberto Di Matteo and Andre Villas-Boas lost their last Premier League games in charge of Chelsea to West Brom before getting sacked.
This will be the first time Steve Clarke has returned to Stamford Bridge as a manager of another club.
Apart from their 2-0 defeat to Man City, Chelsea's Frank Lampard has scored in every Premier League game since 20 January 2012.
West Brom have failed to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge since 1984 in the League Cup, when they won 1-0.
Chelsea to win: 1.43
West Brom to win: 9.4
Draw: 5

Instructions 1 Turn your TV off before cleaning to reduce your risk of electric shock.
2 Dust the ventilation slots on your TV regularly to ensure the unit is properly ventilated. Consider an electrostatic duster (like a Swiffer) to capture the finest dust particles.
3 Wipe the TV screen using only new dust cloths, as even fine particles in old cloths can scratch the screen. Choose soft, lint-free cloths for best results. The RCA screen cleaning kit includes appropriate dust clothes.
4 Wet your dust rag with warm water, then wring it out so it is only slightly damp. Use it to wipe away fingerprints and other spots on your screen. Allow the screen to air dry, then wipe away streaks or smudges with a soft, dry cloth.
5 Spray the cleaning solution from RCA's cleaning kit onto a soft cloth; never spray cleaner directly onto the TV or screen. Wipe the screen clean using this cloth, then allow it to air dry. Wipe away remaining streaks with a clean cloth after the screen is dry.

Artificial Synthetic Life was the term for a mechanism that had artificial sentience. An artificial synthetic life-form usually appeared humanoid. These artificial synthetic lifeforms were by law and custom equal in status to humans. There were no Jim Crow laws for artificial synthetic life-forms because that was illegal.
(Note: The background section of this page has most of the same words as the artificial sentience page of Terra Futura to save time.)
There was that many people had about the future. It was Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the 1950s, electronic computers were introduced. Some of these could pick up blocks. Some could play checkers. Some could even solve algebra problems. It was thought that artificial intelligence on the level of humans was not too far away. They were wrong. By 1974, it was clear that many of the predictions of 2001: A Space Odyssey concerning robots were not coming to pass. Enthusiasm peaked again in the 1980s when Japan started the Fifth Generation Computer Systems Project. The goal was to allow computers to speak and reason like humans and to figure out what humans want. The 1990s was supposed to be the deadline. However, the project failed. In 1997, when IBM's Deep Blue defeated chess-champion Gary Kasparov, it became clear that many computers could not think. It was not until the early 21st century that research into artificial intelligence really took off.
Expert systems had the wisdom and experience of a human encoded in them. Heuristics followed a formal, rule-based system. This led to many advances in computer science. Early advances were crude. Some still used the traditional top-down approach like STAIR (Stanford Artificial Intelligence Robot). Others, such as LAGR (Learning Applied to Ground Robots) and ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), used the new bottom-up approach through learning. LAGR, in particular, used a neural network. STAIR, LAGR, and ASIMO still had the intelligence of a cockroach. In 2011, however, IBM came out with a supercomputer called Watson. Watson won the quiz show Jeopardy!, beating the humans by far. After that, Watson's creators started seeking applications for medical purposes. IBM made a deal with the Japanese government over Watson's medical applications. Japan had the biggest problems in the medical industry. Watson revolutionized the medical industry and drove down the cost of healthcare. Eventually, robot surgeons and cooks became possible. Robots fit many different jobs. Heuristics was still only the first step toward true AI. The second involved finding out how the brain works.
Reverse engineering the human brain was not straightforward. The first thing to do was to understand the basic structure of the brain. After a metal rod was driven through the skull of a man named Phineas Gage in a dynamite accident in 1848, Gage went nuts. It became clear that the body and the soul were inseparable until death. In the 1930s, brain surgeon Wilder Penfield discovered that when he touched parts of the brain with electrodes, they were stimulated. At the turn of the century, neuroscientists such as David Eagleman used MRIs to take revealing pictures of the thinking brain. MRIs, however, were incapable of tracing specific neural pathways. A new field called optogenetics solved that problem. By combining optics and genetics, optogenetics could trace specific neural pathways and even control animal behavior. This was controversial and the stuff of jokes. Comedians liked to claim that the military was trying to create mind-controlled insects. There was also fear that humans could be mind-controlled, too. Of course, that was illegal except for medical purposes. By 2030, the basic structure of the human brain was completely understood. This revolutionized the world of brain-computer interfaces. However, optogenetics was only the first step. The next step was to model the brain.
There were two approaches to modeling the brain. One was to simulate the brain using a supercomputer like Blue Gene or Watson. Blue Gene could simulate the brain of a mouse, but not its behavior. Watson, the very same computer that beat humans at Jeopardy!, was about the same when it came to modeling the brain, but, unlike Blue Gene, Watson could simulate a mouse's behavior as well. During World War III, as humans were merging with machines, the US government started a crash program, similar to the Human Genome Project, to model the brain. Not only did the scientists simulate the brain with supercomputers. They also took a second approach: dissection. The scientists dissected the brains of people who died in the war. Both approaches helped to revolutionize artificial intelligence. Even after the brain was completely modeled and reverse engineered, it still took decades to fully understand. When it was fully understood, true AI, a.k.a., artificial sentience became possible.
There were many who feared the day machines became conscious because of movies like Terminator. One way to prevent this was to employ the three laws of robotics that were depicted in Asimov's stories. However, this would lead to enslavement of robots and violate an amendment to the constitution that said that all sentient beings, human or otherwise, had equal status in society. The preferred scenario was Friendly AI, in which robots can harm humans but prefer not to. This was how artificial sentience worked in the late 21st century. How was the difference between sentience and intelligence measured? The measurement was based on the emotion of love. To a set of data, love and all other emotions were illogical. The reason for love was simple. Why keep one partner when you can have many? Intelligence was using data to make decisions. Sentience was the ability to feel, make judgments, and have emotions. Sentient robots were now marrying humans. This was the beginning of artificial synthetic life.
Tech Level: 12 Artificial sentience was what made artificial synthetic life possible. There were two kinds of artificial synthetic life: robots and androids. Robots were defined as those that did not have artificial skin that made them look like humans. Androids, however, were, in appearance, indistinguishable from humans. Both were humanoid. Robots, however, did not have to be humanoid. Some were modular. (Note: Modular robots are not covered on this page.) With robots and androids being created, there was a debate over whether they should be considered equal to humans. The majority opinion proved to be in favor of equal rights for robots and androids. This reflected the laws that had been passed to protect the right of minorities. The majority of courts declared that artificial synthetic lifeforms were sentient and, therefore, had equal protection from the law. This was important as humans were merging with machines.

Sold Out $69.99
2013 vintage is available for $139.99
Achaval-Ferrer Finca Mirador Malbec 2006
Malbec from Argentina
Winemaker's Notes
Finca Mirador's personality shines through the wine, vintage after vintage, with a recognizable and repeated signature. Fermentation took place in a small tank. At dryness, the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barrels, 100% new, where it was then aged for 15 months.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "This has a stunning nose, with a high-toned violet note running through waves of warm blueberry, fig, boysenberry and raspberry compote. The intense palate is superracy, with superb underlying minerality driving the fruit through the long, seamless finish. Flaunts power without ever getting bombastic. Malbec. Drink now through 2018. 818 cases made. "
The Wine Advocate - "The purple-colored 2006 Finca Mirador is sourced from a vineyard planted in the 1940s with yields under one ton per acre. It offers slightly more complexity revealing a splendid perfume of toasty oak, mineral, mocha, violets, black cherry, and blueberry. Round, layered, succulent, and rich, its pure, fruit-filled finish lasts for 45+ seconds. "
Wine & Spirits - "The most approachable of the Achaval-Ferrer single-vineyard wines comes from soils rich in clay and sand. It's a malbec with deep flavors, intoxicating black cherries and violets, all framed in tense acidity. A seductively juicy and fresh match for cassoulet, this will also mature well over the next five years. "

Achával-Ferrer Winery
Founded in 1998, Achaval-Ferrer is a team of friends who dream about great wines. Achaval-Ferrer is also a collection of old vineyards in beautiful places. They are committed to the production of wines that are expressive of their terroir. They are a small winery because this is the key to top quality. Low yields allow the vineyards to express their personality in the grapes. Low intervention winemaking allows the grapes to fully express their vineyard in the bottle. Each of their wines is a different expresson of Malbec: The Mendoza Malbec is about varietal tipicity. Their Quimera blend is about Malbec as the key to complexity and balance. And their Fincas (Single Vineyards) are about how Malbec expresses different soils and microclimates. View all Achával-Ferrer Wines
About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Hey Simon,
9160 port is already authorized. While debugging I executed ifconfig command, but the output was not having "eth1" details.

Do you think it can be a reason?
Do you have your Amazon security policy set to allow that port? If
you were accessing internally before, the internal security policy may
have allowed that traffic, but the default external one doesn't (at
least that is how it worked for my account).
