Marketing funds available to assist Scottsdale tourism events
Producers of tourism-driven events in Scottsdale are invited to apply for marketing support funding from the city.
Unemployed rises by 101,000 to 7.6 percent
FAIRFAX, Va. – Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens today issued the following statement on the latest job numbers:
"It is surprising that the number of people reporting they have been unemployed for five weeks or fewer jumped dramatically in May exceeding the level of one year ago. Recent Labor Department weekly unemployment filings created the expectation that the number of recently unemployed should have stayed stable, consistent with an economy that seems to be treading water. The jump in recently unemployed combined with the just released report showing significant decline in the manufacturing sector is just another indication that the five year old promise of economic recovery remains elusive.
"Today's report just reconfirms the idea that the government cannot spend its way out of this economic malaise, and the only path to prosperity lies with ending the Obama Administration's regulatory assault on the private sector job creators."

First, my reaction to the news as a general baseball fan:
Also, my reaction as a Red Sox fan:
The saga is finally over, JD Martinez has finally signed with the Red Sox. It seems like this has gone on a lot longer than it really should have as Martinez and Red Sox GM (he's technically not the GM but we're just going to call him that because he basically acts as the GM) Dave Dombrowski were in a staring contest for the ages and it appears that Martinez blinked first. The deal he's receiving is for 5 years $110M, which is a drop from the 5 years $125M we initially heard the Red Sox were offering and a significant drop from the 7-year $210M deal Martinez was allegedly looking for. I'm not totally surprised that Martinez decided to settle, considering that the first Spring Training game is Thursday (god that feels good to say) and it was pretty apparent that the Red Sox, the only team that still seemed interested in signing him, weren't going to budge. It is worth noting, though, that the contract has an opt-out clause after 2 years, during which he will be making $50M of the $110M of the contract. That pretty much guarantees he's going to elect to use that opt-out clause to try and get a better deal in a couple years. But for the time being, Martinez is just the impact bat the Red Sox needed.
Despite boasting a lot of excellent young talent, the Red Sox finished last in the American League in home runs in 2017, finishing behind weak power-hitting teams such as the White Sox and Athletics of all teams. After David Ortiz's retirement, the Red Sox have been desperately searching for that huge power threat. They were hoping that it would be Hanley Ramirez, as he had hit 30 home runs in 2016. But Ramirez regressed significantly in 2017 and the need for a big bat was further emphasized. Here's how the Red Sox are expected to look come Opening Day in Tampa.
1. Eduardo Nunez-2B
2. Andrew Benintnedi-LF
3. Mookie Betts-RF
4. JD Martinez-DH
5. Xander Bogaerts-SS
6. Rafael Devers-3B
7. Hanley Ramirez/Mitch Moreland-1B
8. Christian Vazquez-C
9. Jackie Bradley Jr-CF
It's worth mentioning that I have Nunez slated as the Red Sox second baseman because Dustin Pedroia is expected to miss the first month or so of the season recovering from offseason surgery. But immediately Martinez makes this lineup significantly more deadly. Last season between the Tigers and Diamondbacks, Martinez hit .303 with 45 home runs and 104 RBI. The leading home run hitter for the Red Sox last year was Mookie Betts with 24. The only other members of the team to hit 20 home runs were Mitch Moreland (22) and Andrew Benintendi (20). Martinez was a poor defender last season, being worth -5 DRS last season in right field, but the Red Sox don't need him to play any defense this season, as they already have three quality defensive outfielders in Benintendi, Bradley, and the #1 outfielder in DRS, Betts. All Martinez will need to do is worry about his at bats.
Martinez will likely serve as the team's cleanup hitter and it will be interesting to see how he does in Fenway Park. Being a right-handed hitter, the Green Monster is going to come into play for him. A lot of balls that might have been home runs in places like Arizona (probably the second most hitter-friendly park in the Majors after Colorado) will be turned into doubles because of it. But take a look at Martinez's spray chart, courtesy of Fangraphs.
That looks like a pretty balanced spray chart to me particularly on balls that he puts in the air. When he hits a ground ball he REALLY favors the third base line, but his home runs seem to be relatively evenly-distributed and it seems that regular fly balls tend to go the opposite way a little more frequently. Considering the Pesky Pole in right is only about 300 feet from home plate, Martinez could steal a couple home runs by keeping that trend up. I think he'll be fine at Fenway based on what that spray chart tells us.
So finally, the wait is over, JD Martinez has signed with the Red Sox. I wish I could say it was fun while it lasted, but that's just not true. It was pretty goddamn infuriating. Let me know what you think of the Martinez signing in the comments section below or on Facebook or Twitter @jimwyman10.

Business base
Financial services, including banking, life assurance and pensions, investment management and asset servicing along with general insurance, corporate finance and brokerage services make up the bulk of Glasgow's strong business and financial services business base. There is also significant growth in business process outsourcing (BPO), shared service centres and professional-service-oriented call centres. There are 3,355 registered enterprises in Glasgow (Scottish Government, Growth Sectors Database, 2016). These enterprises have a turnover of £2.1 billion and a GVA of £1.5 billion (excludes financial and insurance enterprises).
The Bank of Scotland opened in 1685 and the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1727 – evidence of Scotland's long history in banking. Glasgow's first bank was established in 1750. At present, Glasgow is home to major banks including the Clydesdale Bank's European HQ, Tesco Bank, Handelsbanken and Santander.
Insurance and pensions
The insurance and pensions sector, like banking, also has a long history in Scotland.
Scottish Widows set up its first agency in Glasgow in 1819 and is still in operation today. Glasgow is home to many major insurance companies, such as Esure, AXA, AON, Ace Insurance and Aviva. Aviva also has one of its centres of excellence a few miles from Glasgow city centre. The insurance industry in Scotland accounts for nearly 25% of the UK's large insurance-industry workforce.
Investment management
The investment management sector includes a broad mix of large institutional and smaller employee-owned businesses that deliver various investment services to institutional and personal clients globally. In Glasgow, Morgan Stanley is the main investment bank. Barclays Wealth deliver wealth management services, while Maven Capital Partners and Ignis Asset Management administer a range of global investment services.
Asset servicing
Scotland is a major European centre for asset management and servicing, both for the domestic UK market and for global clients. Companies operating in Glasgow include BNP Paribas Securities Services, Morgan Stanley and Santander Asset Management.
There is an increasing amount of crossover between the business services and technology. Glasgow is leading the charge for FinTech with a wealth of talent and a passion for innovation. Glasgow is home to JP Morgan's European software development centre, Dell's technology support centre, Morgan Stanley Institutional Securities and Barclays Wealth Management.
Recent investors Encompass and Cloudwick represent a new wave of FinTech companies choosing to expand in Glasgow.
Business services & legal process outsourcing
Glasgow is home to a variety of business support services, including firms specialising in HR, IT, business consultancy, legal, risk management. BDO Stoy Hayward, Macroberts, Pwc and KPMG all operate in Glasgow along with accounting firms like Ernst & Young and Biggart Baillie.
Legal process outsourcing is a new and growing area for Glasgow; New Galexy and Ashurst have both recently located to the IFSD, which should build a foundation for firms providing similar services to fill the competitive gap.
Shared services and outsourcing
Shared service centres, outsourcing and call centres are a growing sector: more than 90,000 people work in Scotland's 400 contact centres. Likewise, Shell Business Service Centre Glasgow was the first in their chain of six service centres providing a wide range of finance, accounting and other business or customer services to Shell operating companies globally. Similar shared service centres are finding Glasgow an ideal location for varied service industry activities.
These subsectors are expanding to offer more niche sub-subsectors, which may include carbon markets, Islamic finance and a broad range of ICT-related payment and banking technologies, such as electronic payments, e-commerce, trading, security and cloud computing.

Generate Everything from Graffiti to Web Buttons!
Regular readers of this blog will know that I'm a great fan of gadgets. I stumbled across another one a few days ago. The Glassy Button Generator will be of interest to web designers who are in a hurry and those who are aesthetically challenged. Just plug in a few variables, such as foreground and background colours, button dimensions, typeface, font size, etc., and this useful tool will crank out a round-edged glassy looking button for you to grab and save. It even creates rollovers.
I got this great find at The Generator Blog, another bookmark topper. This blog provides daily links to sites that generate all kinds of things from utter nonsense like the Silly Walk Generator, the Bush Speech Generator, and the Graffiti Generator I used to create the illustration for this post. These silly examples are utter time-wasters, but the Generator Blog links to dozens of useful resources too, like the Random Texture Generator and DiscoverySchool's Worksheet Generator.
The Generator Blog is a guaranteed time-gobbler. Check it out. And if you like these suggestions, please consider blogrolling Random Bytes.

Linux Distro To Try: Tanglu
Tanglu is a Debian-based Linux distribution which aims to provide the best desktop experience for regular users and enthusiasts. Compared to Debian GNU/Linux, Tanglu plans to offer a number of user-friendly, desktop-oriented features such as availability of newer software, inclusion of extra firmware by default, and a regular, time-based release cycle.
Tanglu has just released their beta for Tanlgu, Beta 4. The release announcement read:
We are pleased to announce the release of the second development version of Tanglu 4, which includes the KDE, GNOME and Core flavors! This beta release contains many changes - most notably, imports from Debian are frozen now and we ship with our final versions of KDE and GNOME. It also contain the following highlights: * systemd 229 * Linux 4.6 * KDE Plasma 5.6 * GNOME 3.20 We are planning to update Mesa to 12.0 and also update the kernel prior to doing the final release of Tanglu 4. When testing Tanglu 4 Beta, please keep in mind that it is a development snapshot release and still contains rough edges. As always, we ship with less packages than Debian does, due to reduced manpower and transitions that have been done. In case you miss any package you need, please file a bug. It is likely that the packages will be reintroduced anyway very soon, but by filing a bug you can ensure that the package is taken care of. If you experience problems with the Beta release, you might find help on the forums[1] - or simply report a bug[2]. Known issues for the Beta include the live-installer only launching from terminal in the GNOME flavor, and the GNOME flvavor not showing GDM if run in VirtualBox, unless you boot with "quiet splash" removed from the kernel command line.

Aviel Yelinek
Israelis are watching more and more television. During 2011 the average Israeli watched more than 232 minutes of television daily, an increase of 3% since last year and 33% since 2001. Among Israeli households, 89% had a television (75% in Jerusalem), and 53% of households had two or more televisions (28% in Jerusalem). Data for 2011 indicate that Jerusalem residents watched less television than did residents of Tel Aviv or Haifa. Of Jerusalemites surveyed, 41% stated that they do not watch television at all or do not watch regularly, compared with 8% of Tel Aviv residents and 9% of Haifa residents. Forty percent of Jerusalemites reported that they watch up to two hours daily (compared with 58% in Tel Aviv and 53% in Haifa), and 19% of Jerusalemites stated that they watched over two hours daily (compared with 33% in Tel Aviv and 39% in Haifa). Among Jerusalem households, 35% had cable or satellite television subscriptions, which is lower than the figure for Israel (62%), Tel Aviv (66%), and Haifa (70%).
The extent of television watched varies by age group. In general, lower ages watch less television per day, and as the age rises television watching increases. For example, 18% of those aged 20-34 years reported that they do not watch television at all, compared with 13% of ages 35-49 and 10% of ages 50-64 and up. The age group 64 and up had the highest percentage of those who reported watching over two hours daily, at 56%, compared with 35% of 50-64-year olds, 30% of 35-49-year olds, and 31% of 20-34-year olds. The extent of television watching also varies in accordance with degree of religious observance. Among Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox), 88% stated that they do not watch television at all, compared with 13% of those who are observant or traditional, and 4% of the secular population. The data indicate that the secular watch more television – 35% watched over two hours daily, compared with 28% of the observant or traditional population and only 1% of the Haredim.

The LuLac Edition #3200, April 28th, 2016
Yesterday Donald Trump gave a speech on his view on Foreign Policy. The front running candidate for the GOP nomination said that American Foreign Policy essentially begins at home. Trump made the following points:
The United States has to charge foreign governments for aid and will not get involved in affairs not in our best interest.
Trump blasted President Obama for his relationship with Israel. Trump said we should not forget our staunchest and oldest allies in favor of states that are not friendly to us.
Trump called for no more nation building and said the United States under his administration would go into places where we would be welcomed and could win.
Trump tried to link Hillary Clinton to what he called the failed Obama Foreign policy and raised eyebrows with his assertion that he would want to work closely with Muslim who are at risk against violent attacks. Trump also stated that the element of surprise in dealing with adversaries had to be a key component of his policy.
It was measured and was a bit different than the bombast we're used to. However it was thin on specifics as to how he would rebuild relationships with foreign nations.
Yeah what the Cruz campaign needs now are prayers. The Fiorina pick is regarded as a hail mary to get Cruz votes in the upcoming states. But Fiorina is a candidate who brings little to the table. She barely registered when she was running with the other 16. She did well in the debates but never could gain traction. Plus her business affairs are out there for all to see and criticize.
This has been done before. In 1976 Ronald Reagan picked Pennsylvania Senator Richard Schweiker as his running mate in the hopes of securing some Pennsylvania uncommitted delegates. That plan failed when Drew Lewis stood fast with Ford. But unlike Fiorina, Schweiker at least had something to offer.
The announcement got media attention but will have no lasting effect on the race. Plus Cruz is no Reagan and Carly is no Schweiker.
With the luxury of retirement John Boehner the former House Speaker can pretty much say what he wants. Check out what Boehner said about Ted Cruz.
Luzerne County gave Donald Trump 77% of the vote on Tuesday in the Pennsylvania primary. That topped the other counties in the Commonwealth. The Trump message resonated in an area that has heard it all before. Telling. We'll see how it translates in the Fall.
"Children who are exposed to illegal substances before they're born are helpless in avoiding the pain and suffering caused by addiction, and so many infants enter this world without even a fighting chance," Barletta said. "In fact, every 25 minutes in this country, a baby is born having already been exposed to drugs and suffering from opiate withdrawal. These children will pay the price for something they had absolutely no control over �C something they were defenseless against. That's why it's so important we do everything we can to prevent these heartbreaking situations and ensure all children have the protection and care they need."
"Our nation is facing a growing opioid epidemic that is destroying communities, families, and lives, and some of the most vulnerable children and families are suffering its worst consequences," said Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman Kline (R-MN). "This bill is an important part of a much broader effort to address the national opioid crisis. The bill will strengthen protections not only for infants exposed to illegal drugs before birth, but for all children in need of help and care. I'm grateful for the leadership of Representatives Barletta and Clark and for their work advancing this critical bipartisan proposal. We have taken an important step to address a real need, and I look forward to advancing these reforms in the weeks ahead."
This legislation would:
•Require the department of Health and Human Services to review and confirm states have put in place policies required under the 1974 Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA).
•Strengthen protections for infants born with illegal substance exposure by clarifying the intent of safe care plans.
•Improve accountability related to the care of infants and their families by requiring additional information on the incidents of infants born with illegal substance exposure and their care.
•Provide states with best practices for developing plans to keep infants and their caregivers healthy and safe.
・Encourage the use of information made available through other child welfare laws in verifying CAPTA compliance.
CAPTA was enacted in 1974 to coordinate federal efforts to prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect. The law provides states with resources to improve their child protective services systems. In order to receive funds under CAPTA, states are required to assure the Department of Health and Human Services that they have implemented certain child welfare policies. Such policies include requiring health care providers to notify state child protective services agencies when a child is born with prenatal illegal substance exposure, as well as requiring the development of a "safe care plan" to protect these newborns and keep them and their caregivers healthy. A recent Reuters investigation revealed some states are receiving federal funds without having the necessary policies in place, resulting in shocking and deadly consequences.

The Hooligan Element
Ho hum. Do you ever get the feeling that you're in a time machine? I've had that feeling all week, watching riot police renew old hostilities with that most charming of all the social groups, the travelling English football supporter. Of course, there is a case to be made that no level of boorishness justifies attacking people indiscriminately with batons, but this season has seen a real sea change in terms of the number of incidents involving English clubs abroad, and it's time to detach ourselves from the raw specifics of the events and try to figure out what can be done to prevent any further repeats. In the old days, it was easy to work out exactly what had happened, but trying to figure out the truth amongst the rumour, counter-rumour, propaganda and accusations isn't as easy as it used to be.
There is no question that the press release that Manchester United issued to their supporters was ill-worded (as has been noted elsewhere, it made the fundamental mistake of mistaking ultras as merely hooliganism, amongst other things), although there is a case for pointing out that, with the benefit of hindsight, much else of what they said was correct. Much has been made of the United supporters' arrival in Rome, and their congregating in the city centre, flag waving and drinking would, in the ultras' eyes, be regarded as something akin to an act of war, but I simply don't accept this as a justification for random acts of violence against the English in Italy. The Premiership is the most-watched league in the world. Italian ultras are as aware as anybody else that carrying flags, singing songs and wearing replica shirts is simply part of the culture of English football, and nothing more than that. It's not an excuse for stabbing people. Having seen the footage of events within the stadium, what is noticeable is that all of the riot police are on the United side of the divide between the two sets of supporters. United supporters shouldn't have reacted in the way that they did to the provocation of the Roma supporters, but this is no excuse for the indiscriminate baton charging of the Italian police. Consider this thoughtful missive on the Guardian's Sport Blog on the subject:
"I wish we could get away from this silly, outdated stereotype of Italian cities and the Italian people as uniformly sophisticated art lovers who occasionally indulge in a civilised glass of chianti with the evening meal. It is complete nonsense, as a trip around any Italian university town will make abundantly clear. The tanked up locals are just as obnoxious as the tanked up foreigners, and frankly, any urination in the streets by foreigners is just a drop in the almighty ocean or dog and human excrement already present. As for the comment on vandalising art works, well, I despair: believe me, the Italian teenager needs no lessons from anyone on defacing statues and buildings with marker pens."
One gets the feeling (with previous incidents involving Middlesbrough last season, and West Ham this season) that perceived English drunken yobbishness is now being used as an excuse for the behaviour of, well, anyone that isn't English. Having said that, though, the behaviour of a section of Spurs' support in Seville last night was indefensible. The police may have been heavy-handed, but ripping up and throwing chairs would seem to indicate something more nefarious at play. Also, there has been no suggestion of any guilt on the part of the home supporters.
English and Italian clubs are skating on very thin ice here. Feyenoord have already been thrown out of the UEFA Cup this season for crowd trouble which followed them on a trip to France to play Nancy at the end of last year. I would be less than surprised if Spurs were similarly ejected from the competition. With Manchester United, the situation is slightly different. Although their supporters hardly covered themselves in glory, they are, by and large, the aggrieved party. Having said that, though, they've already been involved for what happened in Lille in the last sixteen, so any finding of guilt on their part could have serious repercussions. The Italians, though, have some serious introspection to do. I simply do not accept that the act of wearing a shirt and having had a couple of beers is, in itself, suitable provocation justify being beaten up, having a bottle thrown at you, or being stabbed. If things carry on as they are, it's a matter of time before more innocent people are killed out there or, worse still, that Italy has its own Heysel.

A New Alignment, A New Perspective Underway!!
There is always something... isn't there! I was sooo. popping out of my skin, excited to see the big view thru you yesterday and only got a glimpse, dammit. The glimpse thru all 6 people was the energy system forming around and thru them. Great in and of itself, but with this earth parking her butt up higher, August itself became so intensely flushed in white light, I could no longer see thru it. After my third consecutive connection showing us this enhancement of energy in and thru them, I realized, this is going to be the way of it today. I sat on the couch, half grumbling to myself, I wanna see beyond this moment, hell, we all do. We are now in a higher frequency zone... what's it mean to us, what can we do, where we heading, spirit had already said I will be able to see the seeds planted by you thru readings.. lets see!!
I opened facebook on my phone and started scrolling the news feed... just to distract my mind from bitching a little too much on this heavenly day. I had to laugh out loud when the first thing I seen was:
What true patience is, is knowing that you want it and knowing that it's coming and actually enjoying the unfolding along the way. Understand that you never get it done. So you might as well be patient. You never get it done, because every time you want and receive, you also receive a new perspective from which to want. Life is a constant unfolding of new desires and then a constant alignment to those desires.
Excerpted from the workshop: Larkspur, CA on August 30, 1997
I made bold the part that really not only applied, but gave me that DAH!! moment. Of course, I had witnessed this over and over and over again, every single time we have a shift, large or small, there is an "period of adjustment" that is anywhere from 1-7 days long. The one we are in now is thru the last day of this month. We completely moved into higher, more potent airspace and higher vibrational ground space, which means, our vehicles also became higher vibrational and of course the landscape forward has changed vibrationally. So the August timespace I was seeing even two days ago, is not the same August timespace we will be walking into. We are all adjusting now, new energy, new alignments seeping in, filling out and even my crazy vision antenna has got to acclimate to the higher frequencies of light to be able to see in this new Light.
There is no doubt in my heart that whatever the energies were doing to and thru me yesterday, were in my pineal gland, the melatonin center. I could not go to sleep to save my life. I am in bed by 9pm and out like a light before 10pm. Last night, midnight I was still tossing and turning wondering where my sleep switch was. Needless to say, I am dragging butt this morning. But hey, it's a Kelli in the Raw day today!! (10 am MDT)
So enjoy this time as we are more finely aligned to the desires of our heart and soul (and yes, even our beautiful lower mind) and I adjust to how we are going to see them on your field and what it all means to us!!
I do want to share a little thing that flowed out of my soul last evening when someone asked me "What do you want out of life?" I really never thought about that, not in a very long time. I thought hard... and my mind couldn't come up with an answer. I have more in my life than I ever thought possible. So, needing a reply, I just let my soul type thru my fingers and loved the reply so much I wanted to share it with you. It absolutely true for me, obviously or my soul would not say it lol: To keep waking up everyday, unwrapping the mystery and joy within its presence. To add joy to the day in any way I can and let it take me to the next great mystery/present.
So for today, enjoy the incoming and outgoing energies, keep your eye on the prize... whatever it is.
I love and honor each and every one of you so very very much!!
Big big (((HUGZ))) of wonder and bliss to ALL!!

A new little gadget will allow you to measure "everything that can be measured about indoors", ranging from temperature and humidity to lighting and air quality, and then stream that data wirelessly to the cloud, where users can access it from any device.
If you really want to optimize the indoor environment in your home or workplace for the health and comfort of those living or working there, CubeSensors might be the right tool for the job, especially for people who like to use better data for making decisions.
CubeSensors are small environmental sensors powered by a rechargeable battery that will continuously monitor the local environment for temperature, light, air quality, noise, humidity, barometric pressure, and even vibrations. The devices are designed to fit unobtrusively in any room, and are small enough to be located in a wide range of locations.
The sensors stream the collected data to the cloud, allowing users to see historical trends, analyze the data, or view the current conditions in the room from the web or smartphone app. CubeSensors can also send alerts for user-defined conditions (i.e. high temperatures detected), as well as use the collected data to make suggestions for improving the environment inside the home or office.
"Put one in each room in your office or home, and get accurate and timely information about your indoor environment. You can:
- understand when and why people start feeling drowsy at a meeting
- measure why noise makes some uncomfortable and unproductive
- know when and where to aerate rooms or office, adjust your temperature or setup quiet zones
- understand effects of temperature and air quality on your sleep"
CubeSensors are available for reservation now, but won't ship until sometime this summer. The price for two cubes and base station is $249, and for four cubes and a base station, the price is $349.

Residential sales recorded through the MLS® System of the Southern Georgian Bay Association of REALTORS® came in well above year-ago levels in January 2015.
Home sales numbered 135 units in January, up 26.2 per cent from the same month in 2014 and the best start to the year since 2004.
The Southern Georgian Bay Association of REALTORS® comprises two distinctive markets. Home sales in the Western District which includes Wasaga Beach, Collingwood, Clearview Township, The Blue Mountains, Municipality of Meaford and Grey Highlands increased 39.1 per cent on a year-over-year basis to 96 units.
Home sales in the Eastern District encompassing the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene, the surrounding communities of Elmvale, Port McNicoll, Victoria Harbour, Coldwater, Port Severn, Honey Harbour and Tiny, Tay, Springwater, Oro-Medonte, Severn and Georgian Bay Townships totaled 39 units in January. This was an increase of 2.6 per cent from last January.
"With both the Eastern and Western districts pulling in the same direction in January, the strong sales numbers we've been seeing since last May continued to start the New Year," said Kevin Woolham, President of the Southern Georgian Bay Association of REALTORS®. "Probably the most interesting detail from the January numbers was the large number of high-end transactions in the Western district which caused the average sale price to jump."
The number of new residential listings in January 2015 was 359 units, down 19 per cent from a year earlier. New listings were down in both the Western and Eastern Districts.
There were 1,379 active residential listings on the Association's MLS® System at the end of January 2015, down 9.7 per cent from year-ago levels.
There were 10.2 months of inventory at the end of January, down from 14.3 months at the end of January 2014 and below the average for this time of year as well.
The value of all residential transactions in January was $45.4 million, up 41.9 per cent from a year earlier.
Sales of all types of properties numbered 157 units in January, an increase of 25.6 per cent compared to the same month in 2014. The total value of all properties sold in January 2015 was $52.4 million, up 41.6 per cent from last January.
The above information is from a press release issued by the Southern Georgian Bay Association of REALTORS®.

We have sun protection in the pano roof, but the kids would be baking under the rear window and that doesn't seem tinted at all. Does anyone have plans for what kind of third-party screens or something to put up there, or should we expect TM to provide something? Thoughts?

James Bond may have liked his dirty martinis shaken (not stirred!), but how about a martini that's just a little cleaner? Organic alcohol, made with ingredients only grown on organic farms and processed in a dedicated distillery, is free of pesticides or fertilizers normally found in its conventional counterparts. With its supposedly "cleaner" makeup, is this booze worth the switch?
Going Pour-ganic — The Need-to-Know
Certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, organic alcohol must use production methods without residues that can potentially pollute air, soil, and water. This means that organic alcohol is produced from products free of pesticides and fertilizers, chemicals that, when ingested frequently, can potentially increase the risk of cancer other health risks How sustainable agriculture can address the environmental and human health harms of industrial agriculture. Horrigan, L., Lawrence, RS., Walker, P. Center for a Livable Future, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland. Environmental Health Perspectives 2002 May;110(5):445-56..
According to Dr. Adolfo Murillo, President and CEO of organic tequila producer Tequila Alquima, chemicals used to speed up alcohol production can leave salts and heavy metals that might make it through to the final product. Organic producers like Murillo try to eliminate these chemicals at all stages, from the field to fermentation and bottling. Murillo believes that because organic alcohols lack such compounds, drinkers will tend to feel diminished hangovers. Though more research is needed to measure the effect organic booze can have on reducing hangovers, some evidence suggests gulping down a cocktail free of added chemicals could leave a lighter sting the morning after.
Besides providing a buzz with less chemical fuzz, producers like Murillo argue organic alcohol production is also more sustainable, forgoing substances that can harm soil. Looks like that next drink's impact could go beyond a happy night out.
Sustainable Sipping — Your Action Plan
With the billion dollar organic foods industry on a fast rise, organic alcohol is making its way into many bars and liquor stores across the country. And while making the switch to organic may potentially be the more environmentally friendly and healthy choice, there can be too much of a good thing. Besides being a little pricier than its inorganic counterpart, making that umpteenth drink organic won't fully prevent a nasty hangover the next day.
Research also suggests frequent and high ingestion of alcohol— organic or not— can increase esophageal cancer risks as well as cause liver damage Alcohol consumption and oxidative DNA damage. Hirano, T. Department of Life and Environment Engineering, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, The University of Kitakyushu, 1-1 Hibikino, Wakamatsu-ku, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka 808-0135, Japan. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 2011 Jul;8(7):2895-906.. It's also unclear exactly how much of those potentially toxic compounds normal alcohol actually contains. Switching to organic, however, might help prevent chemical residues from landing in a drink (and possibly agricultural fields), possibly providing a "cleaner" (but just as fun) alternative. But as always, please drink responsibly!
"Organic Alcohol is made by following the same set of strict guidelines set by the USDA for all organic foods. This means the alcohol is produced from organically grown grains, grapes, or other products and are free of synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, GMO's as well as herbicides. Ultimately the benefits of drinking organic alcohol are completely dependent on frequency of alcohol consumption, which varies widely from person to person. For those who only have 1-2 drinks per month, then the type of alcohol is not significant in the scheme of things. On the other hand, for those who have higher intakes of alcohol, conventionally grown or non-organic products that contain pesticides or chemicals pose more of a health risk during pregnancy or in children. It is also advised to drink alcohol in moderation (1 drink a day for women and 2 drinks for men) to prevent negatively impacting health. The major benefit of organic alcohol, like most organically grown foods, is that it does support the environment. Drawbacks include higher prices and it can be much harder to find in stores."

Live In The Past
I'm not one for living in the past, but when you can take something from the past and learn from it, that's a good thing.
Now, I know that what I'm going to say here will be very controversial. It will have many Christians fired up and angry with me. Maybe you'll think I'm just too fanatical. (more…)
You Choose This Day
It blows my mind how "high tech and low information" we can be as a society today.
The outcry against "Hobby Lobby," winning a victory to not have to provide a pill to it's female employees, that would KILL a child in it's mothers womb has caused a sea of misinformation.
They haven't stopped women from taking birth control pills or even stopped providing them to their employees, EXCEPT the kind that kills an embryo after it's living inside the womb.
The liberals, including a woman liberal who will probably be running for president, have been spewing the most blatant misinformation possible about this entire issue.
And the worst part is, some Christians have "bought into the lie," right along with the lost world! Here's why…

The Salvation Myth Taught In The Church
The time comes when you must know the Word of God for yourself and not go by what you've heard from many false teachers. Your life depends on it!
Even sincere pastors who don't know the Word of God probably taught you wrong too. Why, because it's a "doctrine."
Every "denomination" has their own "doctrines" that they expect to be followed. They won't allow the Bible to get in the way of what they believe and teach.
I won't allow the "worlds mindset" or even the "so-called" church to get in the way of what the Word says about anything!

Child Friendly Satan?
This recent story about the satanists asking Oklahoma for permission to put their statue up may sicken you like it does me!
It may seem absurd – or given the moral state of the nation, appropriate — but the grounds committee for the Oklahoma State Capitol, the Preservation Commission, has been asked by The Satanic Temple, a group from New York, to place a privately funded statue of Satan, complete with pentagram and two fawning children at Lucifer's knee, on the Capitol grounds near a monument of the Ten Commandments. (more…)
Are You Willing To Hear?
The Book of Revelation is a "foretelling" of events soon to come on the whole earth, but before that series of events was foretold to the Apostle John, Jesus had several messages He communicated to the churches and the church overall.
This is what these next few podcasts will be focused on because they are still the messages Jesus wants to communicate to His church. His body. His beloved.

Grace For What?
Everyone is talking about the "Gospel of Grace…"
We have more TV preachers and pastors of large churches talking about the age of Grace we live in, but I hear a lot of people twisting the message too.
Just like Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, "There's nothing new under the sun." ("That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun." Ecc 1:9)
And just like the early church experienced the "ungodly mixed in with the "godly," we have the same thing in these "last of the last days" church as well.
Many people have deceived themselves in thinking what the Grace of God is for… Jude felt it so necessary to warn the saints in the early church, that he changed his letter to remind them what God's Grace is really for.

Are We Different Than Them?
Some people try and teach "replacement theology" and others place more emphasis on the Old Testament than the New Testament, but the reality is, God gave us the entire Bible to learn from.
It's ALL God's Word speaking through men who recorded everything God wants us all to know. The Holy Spirit has been involved with mankind throughout history.
God has two favored groups. Yes, the Bible says, God is no respecter of persons, but it does not say He is not partial to His people.
The Jewish people and the Church both have a different "covenant" with God. Both have the favor of God and both share "promises" God has made to them.
In this podcast, I hope if you're a believer in Jesus Christ, that you learn the lesson from the Israelite's mistakes.

How to arrange for help:
Peace Haven exists to minister to pastors and missionaries during their time of need. You may be passing through difficult times in your ministry, marriage, relationships, or in your walk with God. If you are a pastor or missionary in need of help and feel you could benefit from the ministry of Peace Haven, please reach out to us for an initial consultation. We will discuss your situation with you and together determine if Peace Haven can meet a need. You can contact us either by phone or email.
Peace Haven is a non-for-profit organization that is funded by people and churches who believe in our ministry and want to give back to pastors and missionaries who are in need. Because of those faithful contributions, there is typically no cost to our guests for our services. Your stay with us, as well as any counseling and/or coaching services, have been generously paid for by others. Usually the one cost we ask you to cover is your transportation to and from our location.
It is important that you know your stay with us, as well as those things discussed during counseling and coaching, is confidential and will not be shared with others (other than as may be required by law). Often times churches and/or mission organizations are involved in making arrangements for their leaders to connect with us. In those instances, rest assured that Peace Haven does not report back to the church or organization regarding the outcomes of your stay.
If you know of someone who you think may benefit from our ministry, please don't hesitate to contact us for more information. We would be happy to discuss how Peace Haven could help. Better yet, you might try giving them a gentle nudge to visit our website. Sometimes they just need a little encouragement from someone who cares - someone like you - before taking that first step. We always appreciate your referrals.
Contact Information by Location:
While both of our locations are available to pastors and missionaries regardless of their proximity, our Camano Island location is more conveniently accessible to people on the West Coast and our Pomme De Terre location is more conveniently accessible to people in the Midwest.

View the Facebook Event HERE
Atrium Arts Gallery presents "From Research To Artwork" an exhibit on Sienna Morris's Numberism work, featuring a glimpse into her research process and work from her lab.
Sienna recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund and build a science lab in her studio. Her current focus is studying the body, with an emphasis on the brain and eyeball. This gallery show will feature beautiful microscopy from her lab as well as the brand new never before seen sketches from her notes in the lab!
Come to the opening night of this gallery exhibit to meet the artist, explore Sienna's sketches, reference microscopy, and use one of her lab's own microscopes while enjoying original, limited edition and paper prints from her Numberism series.
The show will also feature music by Lucia Fasano.
The exhibit will run for the month of July. Gallery hours outside of opening night will be released soon.
Sienna Morris created the technique "Numberism" in 2008, drawing realistic images entirely with tiny numbers and equations by hand. Her ongoing Math and Science series focuses on illustrating the beauty of the scientific world in its natural setting, showing others that science and math are beautiful, accessible aspects of our lives. Sienna is self taught in both art and science and uses her Numberism technique as a learning device through her personal education.

I haven't posted in some time, but couldn't let a RNWMV tradition pass without comment. Every year since I began this blog in 2006, I have marked Earth Day by posting this cartoon, the creation of one of America's greatest philosophers, Walt Kelly, artist and writer of the comic strip, Pogo. Since the first Earth Day in 1971, the phrase, "We have met the enemy and he is us" has become part of the American lexicon.
Forty four years after the first Earth Day, it is hard to be terribly optimistic about the idealistic goals of the Earth Day movement. The "Green" movement has grown steadily, but faces a situation where change might be "too little, too late". See, for example, this article from the current issue of Scientific American, Have We Passed the Point of No Return on Climate Change?
Although, over the years, the enemy has coalesced into the climate deniers, politically, the "Green" movement has it's supporters, including President Obama and the Democratic party, who have become increasingly willing to call out Republicans who remain vocal climate change deniers.
Politics aside, perhaps the most hopeful sign for Earth Day, 2015, is that investors are now making money by going green. Forbes has a list of solar and clean energy exchanges that are easily beating the S&P 500.
The Earth Day Network is still alive and well. It would be worth your time to visit their site and see how you could contribute while there is still time.
Update: President Obama uses Earth Day to talk about climate change.

REM 8.0 Review | The Best Sleep Supplements
REM 8.0 is a natural sleep supplement that comes in flavors and supports healthy bone strength. Sleep supplements can help the many people who suffer from insomnia, without requiring them to seek a doctor for prescription drugs. Continue reading this article to find out why REM 8.0 did not make our list of Top 10 Best Sleep Supplements.
The Benefits Of REM 8.0
These are the key benefits of REM 8.0:
- Improved quality of sleep
- Reduced time it takes to fall asleep
- Helps you feel more refreshed when you wake up
What Is REM 8.0?
REM 8.0 is a product made by the company Formutech Nutrition. It is used to help people get a full night's sleep, and especially beneficial for people who suffer from a sleep disorder. Sleep supplements like REM 8.0 are very useful for athletes and bodybuilders who find difficulty falling asleep.
If you are trying to achieve the maximum results possible from a workout, which you should be, getting a full night sleep is crucial. I understand that it's not really an option for many people, due to conditions like insomnia. Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, and affects many people throughout their life. When insomnia becomes a chronic condition, it can begin to cause a long list of problems in your everyday life.
Your body requires sleep in order to help you be yourself. Many people become extremely irritable and crabby when they are lacking the amount of sleep that they need to operate at their best. Losing productivity in your day can be disastrous depending on your job, and can make you far less passionate than you would usually be. However, these are just the beginning of your problems.
People who suffer from insomnia find themselves getting sick far more frequently than those who have healthy sleep schedules. This is because your body requires a certain amount of time every night to be able to replenish and refuel itself, providing you with a healthy immune system. If your immune system weakens due to lack of sleep, you can definitely expect yourself to feel the many negative effects that come with a lack of rest.
How Does REM 8.0 Work?
REM 8.0 works by using a blend of many different ingredients that are all meant to help improve your workout performance as well as improve your quality of sleep. Many of these ingredients are very commonly found in male enhancement supplements, as well as sleep supplements.
These ingredients work to help increase the amount of specific neurotransmitters and hormones that can all provide your body with different benefits. GABA is responsible for acting as a natural tranquilizer, and many of the ingredients in this blend help increase the amount of GABA your brain utilizes.
Some of these ingredients include natural herbs which can help benefit your overall health.
REM 8.0 Ingredients
These ingredients are all included in REM 8.0: Phenibut, GABA, Glucuronolactone, MACA Magnesium, L-Phenylalanine, L-Theanine, 5-HydroxyTryptophan, Zinc, Quercetin, Vinpocetine.
Phenibut: This natural form of GABA is able to cross the blood brain barrier, making sure that your brain can relax during periods of stress and anxiety. Phenibut has been shown to be habit forming, so it is important not to take this product everyday.
MACA Root: Maca root is a superfood that is found in the Andes mountains. It has many different benefits that can help improve your overall physical and mental health.
L-Phenylalanine: This ingredient helps improve mood and boost your overall health.
L-Theanine: This amino acid is commonly found in Green Tea Leaves. It helps relax the brain and help with anxiety, while also counteracting effects of caffeine.
Vinpocetine: Vinpocetine is the active ingredient in the periwinkle plant, and can help reduce anxiety levels while supporting memory.
The Pros
- Easy to use
- Helps support healthy workouts
- Good blend of ingredients
The Cons
- Does not work for many people
- Not heavily reviewed
- Groggy mornings
The Final Verdict On REM 8.0
In conclusion, REM 8.0 is a decent sleep supplement for bodybuilders, but cannot compete with some of the other brands we have reviewed. The blend of ingredients in sleep supplements is extremely important in terms of quality and quantity of each one, and I believe that we have found the best of the best. Review this list of Top 10 Best Sleep Supplements to find the best natural sleep aids available.

Yes, my husband is Aussie. And in Australia Father's Day always falls on the first Sunday of September. Good thing about handmade cards for men is that they tend to be simple - less the feminine effects (flowers, embossing, frills and flourishes, etc) that is. Therefore, this is another simple card without any technical gadgets rather than just your scissors, trimmer and scoring board.
1. Make card base from cardstock. Blue/grey
2. Make a while panel smaller than the card base.
3. Affix washi tape lines across the panel.
4. Cut neck tie from scraps. Adhere to panel
5. Stamp Happy Father's Day sentiments
6. Adhere panel to card base.

Western Power sell-off nothing short of 'pork barrelling'Wednesday 30 Nov 2016
The Barnett Government's announcement to sell-off 51 per cent of Western Power is a flawed move that amounts to little more than "pork-barreling".
The Australian Services Union and Electrical Trades Union slammed today's announcement, saying the government was attempting to hoodwink the community and sell them a utility they already owned.
Under the plan, the government will sell 51 per cent of Western Power to pay off $8 billion of the state's debt, with a portion to be set aside for mum and dad investors and another reserved for Australian sharemarket float.
The Next Generation Account would be created with $3 billion from the sale proceeds of Western Power to fund investment in schools and TAFE facilities, transport infrastructure and improving the reliability of electricity supplies in country areas.
Australian Services Union Branch Secretary Wayne Wood said the Liberal-National Government was effectively trying to sell WA taxpayers the same valuable asset they already owned.
"Colin Barnett and Brendon Grylls want West Australian mums and dads to buy shares in a company they already own," Mr Wood said.
"They want to sell a public asset owned by everybody to fund pork-barreling in Liberal and National marginal seats.
"Colin Barnett floated Alinta when he was Energy Minister, saying it would be owned by mums and dads. Alinta shares quickly ended up in corporate hands and gas prices have gone up ever since.
"Barnett has chosen a float, because he thinks this will help him spin privatisation as a positive thing. The reality is privatisation will still result in higher prices, fewer jobs and cuts to maintenance budgets, as the majority private owners push for bigger profits.
"Privatising Western Power means jobs and apprentices will be cut in the pursuit of profit. But, it also means less funding for police, nurses and teachers because the State Government will lose half of the profits Western Power generates each year."
Mr Wood said the partial sale of Western Power was the government's way of trying to make the sale of a key West Australian utility more palatable to the WA community.
"Selling our assets is flawed economic management," he said.
"At the end of the day, it will still mean higher prices and less reliable services because private companies are only interested in one thing – profit.
Mr Wood said the government's promise of extra jobs was nothing more than "rhetoric".
"It's hard to believe that the sale of Western Power is going to create jobs, and we wont be hoodwinked by this government. The reality is that if Western Power is sold, jobs will either be cut or go offshore because labor is cheaper," he said.
"This isn't a plan for jobs, when the fact is that any new jobs created by projects funded from the sale, will only be for a limited time before workers are back on the scrapheap."
Mr Wood vowed to relentlessly ramp up the Use the Power campaign against the privatisation of Western Power, saying it would become a major issue for the March State election.
Use Your Power has campaigned heavily since 2014, raising awareness that the privatisation of
Western Power would result in bigger power bills, fewer jobs and apprenticeships and cuts to preventative maintenance. This would mean longer waits to fix faults and an increased risk of bushfire.

IMac :: How To Transfer Files To External Hard DriveOct 15, 2009
I have an IMAC and I am having problems transferring video files I download to my external hard drive. I had trouble playing the files at first because it was not readable with Quicktime. I downloaded VPN and it played with VPN. I don't want to save those files on my computer so I would like to transfer it to my external harddrive. When I try to drag it over, it won't let me drop it in. I am new to the MAC world. Is there a way to choose where it will save itself right before you download like there is on windows.

Process for Felony Review
What types of convictions must be disclosed? You only have to report felony convictions within the last five years. You must report all felony convictions within the last five years, even if they did not occur in Kansas or you were told they did not appear on a background check. You DO NOT have to report pending felony charges or convictions that have been expunged or pardoned.
Why do I have to report my felony conviction? By law, the Board of Cosmetology may consider your felony conviction in deciding whether to grant your application for a license.
The Board requires you to submit the following:
The application, forms and court documents should be sent to the Board in the same envelope.
Incomplete submissions will be returned.
What is the Felony Conviction Disclosure Form? This form provides the Board with information about your conviction in enough detail to permit the Board to make a decision regarding your application.
What is the Felony Conviction Monitoring Form? This form provides the Board with information regarding your conviction from the monitoring agency. If you are currently serving probation, parole or are on post-release supervision, you must have your monitoring agency complete this form.
How do I obtain court documents? Court documents can be obtained at the Courthouse from the Clerk of Courts in the County conviction. If, for some reason, the documents are unavailable, you must provide a letter from the Court stating the documents are not available.
What if my conviction was in another state? It may take some time to obtain your court documents. Most states require that you submit your request in writing along with a payment in order to obtain records.
What does the Board consider when determining whether to grant a license? In determining whether to grant your application for a license, the Board considers the following:
What happens next? After the Board receives your application, forms and court documents, your file will be reviewed by the Board's Disciplinary Panel. If the Board approves your application, your license will be issued. If the Board does not approve your application, you will receive an Order stating the reasons for denial.
What if I receive a Summary Proceeding Order refusing to issue my license? As explained in the Order, you must request a hearing if you want the Board to reconsider its denial of your application.
How do I request a hearing? If you want to request a hearing, you have 15 days from the date printed on the Certificate of Service in the Order to submit your request to the Board office. Make a written request and send it to the Board office by mail, fax, or email. The request can be a simple sentence: "I, NAME, am writing to request a hearing on Case Number ______." Sign your name at the bottom.
When are hearings held? Hearings are typically held at the Board office on the second Monday of each month.
What happens at the hearing? The Board's Disciplinary Panel will hear your statements. You must demonstrate to the Panel that you have been sufficiently rehabilitated to warrant the public trust. You will explain your felony conviction, your rehabilitation efforts and why you should be granted a license.
If you are unable to read any of the information contained on this website, please contact the Kansas Board of Cosmetology. We will be happy to assist you.

Author: Jacob Glaser
Publisher: Walter Foster
Release Date: Dec 2011
Pages: 32
From a zombie straight out of a horror flick to a boogeyman who lurks in the deep corners of the imagination, readers can bring to life a frightening array of dark creatures with this in-depth guide. Talented fantasy artist Jacob Glaser instructs with clear, step-by-step demonstrations and engages the reader by providing the "history" of each character. Several projects also share the secrets to enhancing a final drawing with digital coloring.
About the Author
Jacob Glaser is a professional illustrator who lives in Long Beach, CA. After earning his BFA in illustration, he worked at several companies as a staff artist and art director before becoming a full-time freelance illustrator. Jacob believes in aliens, ghosts, and all sorts of magical nonsense—possibly because he played Dungeons and Dragons too often in high school.
Drawing Horror is a great little book in a series by well known artist and instructor, Jacob Glaser. I have collected four of these books and found the step by step instructions extremely helpful in gaining skills in drawing. There are around two hundred books in the Walter Foster series, so there are topics for just about every taste. The format of the books are such that you are given the finished picture to study, then images of how to create the picture through the different stages of drawing and painting.
Horror Characters is a great book for learning how to draw a range of monsters, evil characters, creatures and scenes. If you like horror movies and want to create your own images, and then this book will be a great tool for you to begin.
The lessons in this book are; Tools and Materials, The Elements of Drawing, Basic Pencil Techniques, Creating Textures, Perspective Basics, Frankenstein's Monster, Vampire, Witch, Evil Scientist, Succubus, Hell Hound, Man-Eating Plant and Cthulhu. Steps include the first basic sketch of the basic character shapes, then followed by developing the rendering step by step, building up the form with colour and finally completing the painting.
I found the steps quite easy to follow and the basic skills in the first few chapters to be very helpful and would benefit beginner artists.

History has been rewritten Tallent is now Olympic Champion
Jared Tallent will be awarded the gold medal for the 50km walk in London after the Russian winner was disqualified for doping.
Tallent was ecstatic with the result, declaring "History has been rewritten tonight. I am the Olympic champion and justice has been served. I'm very excited to see the result amended and thank all those who have supported me across this journey".
Tallent's personal Olympic medal tally remains at three but he will now have a medal of each colour, with his London gold set to join the silver (50km walk) and bronze (20km walk) he won in Beijing in 2008.
Although the announcement comes nearly 4 years after crossing the line in second at the 2012 Olympic Games, Tallent was still savouring the historical decision.
"For me, this outcome allows me to celebrate a moment that every athlete dreams of and I look forward to sharing the experience with my family, including wife Claire, my Mum, Dad and siblings."
Tallent also becomes the Olympic Record Holder with a time of 3.36.53.

Re: OpenBSD Strange Problem
I have check this with this command sysctl net.inet.ip nad openbsd report is true.
I can surf the net from openbsd box.
You are not logged in. Please login or register.
I have check this with this command sysctl net.inet.ip nad openbsd report is true.
I can surf the net from openbsd box.
Ok - so the next step is to make your firewall wide open.
Configure it to pass all packets with "keep state" also enabled. This will prove that the system works in principle - then you can write the rules to block stuff.
I have pass out all rules for lo0, rl0, rl1 and ral0 and keep state is default in OpenBSD 4.1 for all rules.
I using client to ping my ISP dns server then i verified it with in my openbsd box i issue command pftop and pfctl to check whether got any packet is been block.
Unfortunately, no packet is block.
I not ignore your solution but just want to narrow down the problem and find the solution.
If my sentence cause you uncomfortable, please let me know.
In another forum, someone asked me to change the wireless interface subnet mask from /16/ to /24.
I only have port sentry activated and listen to some ports in order to block hacker before pf firewall do. I will try to off it and see.
Thanks for your help.
I have pass out all rules for lo0, rl0, rl1 and ral0 and keep state is default in OpenBSD 4.1 for all rules.
Do you have "pass in" rules for all those interfaces too? else the packets aren't entering the firewall - which would be the issue
Then how do i write a general pass rules for my internal interface and wireless interface ?
Is it something like pass all ?
to pass all traffic on your interfaces on your system you'd have a rule something like this:
pass quick on { lo, rl0, rl1, ral0 }
This will make your network wide open - but it will prove that communication exists between all network interfaces. From there you can rewrite the rules and block what you want
I have try t pass out all and your rules but still cannot find any clue why i cannot from my client.
I check it with pftop and pfctl , nothing seem block the connection.This make me believe that there must be something else that cause the problem.
This is really a strange problem.
I using PPPOE in my OPenBSD 4.1 box.
Here is some warning for ipv6 using PPPOE :
tun0: warning: 0.0.0.0/.: Change route failed: errno: No usch process
tun0: warning: ff01:7::/32: Change route failed: errno: Network is unreachable
tun0: warning: ff02:7::/32: Change route fialed: Network is unreachable
I get some infor from pfctl also.
Here it is.
states :
all icmp 184.108.40.206:2570 <- 172.16.10.10 0:0
all udp 184.108.40.206:53 <- 172.16.10.10:32812 NO_TRAFFIC:SINGLE

all udp 126.96.36.199 <- 172.16.10.10:32813 NO_TRAFFIC:SINGLE
I really need to fix this up.
This is really a strange problem.
Thanks for your help.
Any help please.
Why no one is helping me ?
My current description of situation is in post 25

What is the function of these two pf rules ?
pass in on $int_if from $int_if:network to any keep state
pass out on $int_if from any to $int_if:network keep state
Thanks for your help.

pass in on $int_if from $int_if:network to any keep state
pass out on $int_if from any to $int_if:network keep state
Those are for passing in/out internal traffic. First one allows traffic from LAN ($int_if:network) to pass in to $int_if and second rule allows traffic to pass out to LAN from $int_if on the firewall.
Thanks for your help.
My problem has been solved.
