- Restart "Network Location Awareness" service
- Restart "IP Helper" service
- "netsh dnsclient show state" (inside/outside office)
- "netsh interface httpstunnel show interfaces" (connected/not connected)
But this time nothing seems to help. The error message (this time) were: Interface Status: IPHTTPS interface deactivated.
It mentions: You should try using netsh to disable Teredo.
For example, if you execute the following command: "netsh interface teredo set state disable". You will in fact disable Teredo. Provided that your IP-HTTPS solution is working, the Direct Access client will then switch over to IP-HTTPS. You can verify this using the following command: "netsh interface httpstunnel show interfaces". Now, to re-enable Teredo you would use the following command: "netsh interface teredo set state default".
After that everything went fine again. Strange thing however we don't use Teredo at all, but still this can be the solution! ;)

Rappers Going HollywoodJuly 23rd, 2010 by @E_Wish1 | Hip-Hop/Rap, Miscellaneous |
It seems over the last 10 years or so that many successful rappers have begun acting. Common and Ludacris are the most notable ones who have appeared in films such as "Wanted" and "Just Wright" (Common) and "2 Fast 2 Furious" and "Crash" (Ludacris). However, recently many rappers are starting to do the same.
T.I. has appeared alongside Denzel Washington and Common in "American Gangster" (2007) and will star in "Takers" which hits theaters next month. He has also appeared in an episode of Entourage and we will likely seem him in many more feature films in the near future as he has taken his talents from the radio to the big screen.
Scott Mescudi known by many as "Kid Cudi" does not have much acting experience and has only released one album so far. He is currently working on another one which is set to hit stores in September of this year. However, he has experimented with acting a little bit. He has appeared in a handful of episodes as "Domingo Dean" in the popular HBO series "How to Make it in America." Though his role was not a big one, he proved here that he too can be a successful actor while release platinum albums.
Many other rappers have also had some success in acting. Andre 3000 from Outkast and appear alongside Mark Whalberg in "Four Brothers" and Will Ferrell in "Semi-Pro", among others. 50 Cent and Eminem have appeared in movies which are based off their rise to music prominence in "Get Rich or Die Tryin" and "8 Mile".
Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube have also had his fair share of movie appearances and many more rappers in the near future could do the same. With the entertainment industry offering many opportunities to these young artists, there is no question that more will follow what their successors have done.

Last night's BBC interview from a high-security prison with Babar Ahmad, who is wanted for extradition to the US on terror charges, confronts the government, yet again, with a case full of embarrassing questions for the Metropolitan police. And for the justice minister, Ken Clarke, it highlights the challenge of how to justify holding a man in a maximum security prison for eight years when he faces no charges in the UK.
Clarke may be quietly praying that next Tuesday the European court of human rights will rule that Ahmad cannot be extradited to the US, and British courts therefore can after all hear the case.
Ahmad had no illusions that the interview was his "last chance to convince the authorities," and he directly asked the director of public prosecutions to put him on trial in the UK here and now, as his family have requested on countless occasions.
At the centre of the US case against Ahmad is evidence that was not seen by the British legal authorities before it was sent to the US – a situation described in parliament last week by both the Conservative MP Dominic Raab and the Labour MP Andy Slaughter as Kafkaesque (and reiterated by Green MP Caroline Lucas in last night's BBC programme). They are certainly not the only ones wanting to know why that happened.

Rocketship Education is a network of charter schools that started in San Jose California in 2007. They currently have locations in Nashville, Milwaukee and Washington DC in addition to their thirteen California bay area schools. Rocketship educates in a unique style.
There are three pillars that all Rocketship charter schools are built on. The first pillar is personalized learning. Each student learns at a different speed and level. Rocketship charter schools embrace each student as a unique individual that requires a specific educational plan to help them academically strive. The second pillar that Rocketship utilizes is talent development. Each student and staff member brings a unique set of talents to the educational table. It is important to embrace the specific talents of each educator and of each child. These talents can help the individual grow both academically and socially. The third pillar that Rocketship embraces is parent power. Parents are the best advocate for their children's education. Rocketship encourages parents to be involved in their child's education both inside and outside of the classroom. Parents who are involved and present in their child's school will help to grow their child's academic progress and the progress of the educational facility.
With the 2017-2018 school year coming to an end there are many ways that Rocketship students can prepare for the end of the year. Some students may have fallen behind in the beginning of the year due to absences or personal struggles. Rocketship encourages their students to come into the last half of the school year refreshed and eager to meet educational goals. Rocketship prides themselves on time management and adjusting personal goals to help students feel pride in their work. Students who work under a adjusted time frame will feel less stressed out over school work and will experience a sense of accomplishment when tasks are completed. The sense of accomplishment will create students who enjoy school work and completing goals. Students who learn how to work under time managed tasks can slowly take on more tasks. This type of mentality will create a child that is eager to learn and thrive in their educational environment. As the school year comes to an end Rocketship charter schools will continue to adjust to each student's individual needs to provide quality education in a controlled and comfortable environment.

Sahin: 'Really enjoyable game'
Dortmund - Nuri Sahin was in fine spirits following Borussia Dortmund's resounding 5-1 win over SV Werder Bremen - their second successive away victory in the league.
Borussia Dortmund
Bremen's players, meanwhile, felt they could have no complaints with the result after being thoroughly outplayed by Jürgen Klopp's team at the Weser-Stadion. bundesliga.com rounds-up the thoughts of the main protagonists from Saturday's highest-scoring encounter...Manuel Friedrich: I wanted to give the club something back. I was signed up late last year pretty much as a stopgap and just wanted to help out from the start in any way possible. But then I had one or two below-par games and being a fairly self-critical kind of person, I was extremely disappointed. Hopefully I've been able to repay some of the faith that's been placed in me.
Nuri Sahin: That was a really enjoyable game and when we're enjoying ourselves, these kind of results can be the outcome. Winning so convincingly is extremely important for us, we've finally managed a clear-cut success on the back of a dominant performance. That's good for our self-confidence, especially with such a busy few weeks coming up.
SV Werder Bremen
Nils Petersen: It was a fully deserved win for Dortmund. It's no excuse that we were playing against a very strong opponent today. We put in plenty of effort, but we made too many individual errors. We've missed the chance to get a few bonus points today, but this was a different defeat compared to the one in Augsburg - we can look at ourselves in the mirror and say 'we gave absolutely everything'.
Ludovic Obraniak: I imagined my debut for the club to go a little differently. I'm very disappointed. We were playing against one of the best teams in Europe, but they were better in every department: they played better than us, and they were also better physically and tactically. We have to work hard in training next week as three points against Gladbach are vital.

Kaiser Permanente Colorado Partners with incentaHEALTH on Nation's First Community-Wide Program That Offers Rewards for Positive Results
DENVER — April 25, 2011 – A new program launching this week in metro-Denver promises to reward people with cash incentives for achieving healthier lifestyles. Weigh and Win, a partnership between Kaiser Permanente and a local health technology company, incentaHEALTH, is the nation's first community-wide program offering cash rewards and prizes to individuals who achieve or maintain a healthy weight.
Weigh and Win will be available for free to all Coloradans ages 18 and over. Individuals who sign up for the program will participate in quarterly photographed weigh-ins at kiosks stationed conveniently throughout the Denver-metro area and receive cash incentives for positive results. Participants will have access to a variety of online coaching tools to help them reach their goals.
"We know that being overweight or obese has serious health consequences. It not only increases the risk for chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, but there's also a tremendous cost to our communities," said Jandel Allen-Davis, MD, Kaiser Permanente Vice President of Government and External Relations. "Kaiser Permanente is committed to improving the health of all Coloradans and this program builds upon our extensive work to increase healthy eating and physical activity."
Weigh and Win is just one example of how Kaiser Permanente is committed to comprehensively fighting the obesity epidemic by making the healthy choice the easy choice through environmental and policy change. In addition to providing evidence based weight management strategies and health education programs to its 535,000 members in Colorado, the organization is a founding funder of LiveWell Colorado, the only statewide non-profit dedicated exclusively to leading a collaborative fight against obesity. To date, LiveWell has reached more than 130,000 children at 1,087 schools and more than 700,000 people with community-wide strategies.
"The Weigh and Win partnership is to be applauded for finding ways to encourage people to make healthier choices," said Chris Urbina, executive director and chief medical officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "We appreciate partners like Kaiser Permanente and our many community partners who help people achieve healthier lifestyles through better nutrition and increased physical activity."
Weigh and Win introduces a cost effective and population based approach to behavior modification. Community partners are stepping forward to support and promote the program and to encourage participation. Community partners to date include: Denver Health, LiveWell Colorado, Metro Mayors Caucus, Colorado State Library, kiosk location sites, and many retail locations offering prizes.
While this is the first time the program has been applied to a community at large, similar initiatives have achieved notable results in workplace settings. In corporate deployments of the incentaHEALTH program, the average employee loses 6 percent body weight (12 pounds for a 200 pound person) and 40 percent of participants stay in the program for one year.
According to Todd McGuire, chief technology officer and co-founder of incentaHEALTH, for a community-based weight management program to succeed at reversing the obesity crisis it must contain four components:
There is an urgent need for community-based programs that address the growing obesity crisis in Colorado. While Colorado has long been known as the "leanest" state, obesity rates are climbing faster than the national average. Currently, more than 55 percent of Colorado adults are overweight or obese.
"Municipalities have a responsibility to provide services and amenities that facilitate an active and healthy lifestyle. In Commerce City, we have built 27 miles of recreation trails, partnered with community non-profits to create three neighborhood gardens, and offer recreation programs that serve more than 12,000 children annually. Our city council is committed to further investments, because wellness helps achieve our vision of a quality community for a lifetime," said Mayor Paul Natale.
Weigh and Win kiosks are stationed at the following locations:
Additional kiosks will be added in the coming months in Colorado Springs, Glendale, Lakewood and Broomfield.

I shan't cite the source, because I can no longer remember where I read it, but it applied mostly to women, and specifically stated that blue-jeans indicated emotional frailty and low self-esteem.
Conversely, wearing a hat showed happiness and contentment.
There is a direct correlation between wearing clothes and happiness.
In public.
Most of us can't feel truly happy outside if we're naked.
Especially in San Francisco.
Not when it's less than fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
Even with a hat.
Other than that, I'm not sure that the author mentioning the research understood the causal relationship. Wearing clothes indicates primarily that one wishes to pass among strangers without offense or embarrassment. The blue-jeans may be the only pants that fit, and the hat more often than not has something to do with the head.
I'm just guessing here, but it's an educated guess.
If I were the only person naked, I probably wouldn't be too happy.
Unless I was alone.
Or there was another person equally disgarbed, and no one else.
Nudity among the multitude has scant appeal.
In a crowd of people, wearing clothes seems advisable.
A happy hat is a splendid choice, but it cannot stand on its own.
It's different at home.
Being bare can be pleasant alone.
But it's much more fun with another person.
Hats are optional at that point.
But soft fuzzy blankets, OR cups of tea, are not.
Try it; you'll be surprised how much you like bare skin and warmth.
I suggest a strong black tea with milk and sugar.
It is indeed extremely nice. Milk tea: potent pleasure.
Caffeine and company. That is the true recipe for happiness.
The warm fuzzy blankets boost self-confidence.
Feel free to twiddle your toes.
While wearing a hat.
You really do not need a hat, but it adds a note of gaiety to the event.
I have a dashing fedora for precisely such occasions.
As well as a selection of fine teas.
NOTE: Readers may contact me directly:
All correspondence will be kept in confidence.

Before going any further, let's put it straight right from the start, it takes a lot of efforts, energy, determination and time to become a top WordPress developer. If you think, this is just a few steps process, you know very little about web design. It's a daunting task that requires expertise and professionalism from a designer. You can install WordPress cms, read some tutorials, learn how to customize themes, but these all won't necessarily mean that you'll get the title of a top WordPress designer. You can become an expert, but on a larger scale, you'll be just an average person with some commonplace skills.
Reasons to become a top developer
If you get yourself involved in WordPress development, why not strive to be the best? There are too many experts and average specialists on the market, and very few professional web designers who are capable to work with total dedication. If you become a top notch WordPress website designer, you will have the following benefits:
- decent salary, bigger than any other average designer can earn;
- great audience;
- a freedom of choice what projects to agree on and what to decline;
- have great impact in the industry;
- to some extent shape the future of WordPress.
If you firmly decided to be one of the best, you'd have to find at least one hour a day to learn more about WordPress content management system. Don't like learning and reading? Unfortunately, that's a compulsory path to success with no other ways around it. You will have to master your skills all the time by learning and reading more about WordPress. Eliminate all the things that distract your attention, and spend at least one hour reading and taking notes about WordPress cms.
Speak to the right people
When they say that we become very much alike to those people who we spend a lot of time with, they actually don't boggle. Planning to become a top notch WordPress web designer? Join a few communities where highly qualified designers like to hang out and share their knowledge. Read what they say, attend various conferences, follow them on Twitter, read their interviews and so on and so on. Always look for a new channel to get valuable information and learn something new. A good idea would be to use what they recommend and provide them with a feedback. By doing so, you will have a great interaction, an option to fix your own errors yourself and personally grow.
Read new material
Use all the sources to read new material about WordPress and don't forget to experiment. Try to always practice what you've learned. Experience on your own projects and try to improve them in every little way. Being a top notch WordPress designer means a lot of experiments, practice and knowledge. These are the key drives that may bring an average designer to the top of design industry. But you should be ready to demonstrate true ambitions and dedication. Otherwise, you'll never leave the comfort zone, remaining to be just an expert, a designer with occasional projects.

Australian Open PHOTOS: Bouchard stuns Ivanovic, meets Li Na in semis
Canadian teenager Eugenie Bouchard kept her poise in the biggest match of her life to oust Ana Ivanovic in a three-set thriller and set up an Australian Open semi-final against China's Li Na on Tuesday.
"It's not exactly a surprise," said the confident 19-year-old, the first Canadian to reach the last four in Melbourne.
"I always expect myself to do well. I'm just happy to have gone through this step. I'm not done. I have a match on Thursday. I'm just looking forward to that."

Bouchard was a match for everything the 14th seed threw at her
Cheered on by "Genie's Army" - the band of young Australians who reward her with a cuddly toy after every victory - Bouchard was a match for everything the 14th seed threw at her and sealed victory after two hours and 24 minutes.

I was emotionally a little bit flat: Ivanovic
Ivanovic, hindered by a hip niggle, was unable to take advantage of the path she had cleared to the final, stunning world number one Serena Williams on Sunday to blow open the top half of the draw.
"I was emotionally a little bit flat," admitted Ivanovic. "I was lacking a little bit aggressiveness that I had in my previous matches.
"I think she has very bright future in front of her. She's very aggressive player. It's sometimes very hard to read her game. There is no really patterns like with other players you have. She's a great mover."

Li Na in fourth Australian Open semi-final
China's Li Na wasted little time in advancing to her fourth Australian Open semi-final with a seemingly effortless 6-2, 6-2 demolition of Flavia Pennetta.
The 31-year-old, who has reached two of the last three finals at MelbournePark, blasted the 28th-seeded Italian off the court in 66 minutes with a strong first serve and barrage of powerful ground strokes.
The fourth seed has raced through the last two rounds at the season-opening grand slam after almost being knocked out by Lucie Safarova in the third round when she had to fight off a match point.
She felt that victory had given her confidence she could win her first title at Melbourne Park.

'I have a lot of confidence, or belief in myself to do well'
"I have a lot of confidence because I was a match point down and I came back to win the match," Li said. "I have a lot of confidence, or belief in myself to do well.
"I wish I could do one more step this year."
Li, who has become a favourite of the Melbourne Park crowd in recent years, revealed why she does not vent her frustration by smashing racquets during matches.
"I feel the racquet is my friend," she said in a courtside interview on Rod Laver Arena, "... she is with me on the court all the time so I have to be friends with her and she can be nice to me."
Pennetta tried to stem Li's momentum by changing her racquet late in the second set but it was to no avail.
The damage had been done earlier in the match with her service game falling apart. She won just 25 of 54 points on her own serve in the entire match.
Her lack of accuracy, with less than 40 percent of her first serves going in, allowed Li to jump out to a 5-0 lead in the first set and 4-0 in the second.
Li clinched victory with a forehand winner.

And we use them a LOT, in the rainy Pacific NW. (Ironically, most people don't use umbrellas. I do. And I also get teased for looking like a tourist. Whatevs.)
Not every girl can relate to this obviously... but I'm only 5'1," and boot heights give me fits! They are almost always too tall for me and cut me off in all the wrong places. (Thank you Lord, for making me short. I know You had Your reasons. And I do hope You explain them to me when I arrive at Heaven's gate. Thanks.)
Anyway, I cut off my wellies so they were the same height as the only other pair of boots that seem to work for my frame, and they were a great height. But er... ugly. I mean, they do look like I cut them off. I knew that a boot sock folded over "just so" would cover that part, so I wasn't worried. A girl does what she has to do. But it did occur to me that they would be just darling with a bow in the back. And that's the part I'm here to share today because you could do this to any pair of rain boots regardless of your height and it would be super cute for little girls too!
So, please ignore the not so even cutting at the edges of my wellies. Just focus on the bow. Mkay? (grin)
Your boots (duh.)
A length of ribbon. I used about 1/2-3/4 of a yard for each bow.
2 grommet sets for each boot (so FOUR total. A front and back piece.) and a grommet maker
Scissors for making a hole in the rubber
(A BandAid in case you slice your thumb like I did. Be warned.)
Fray check
**I started by figuring out where I wanted my two grommet holes on each boot. I pushed the round part of the grommet (that goes into the hole you cut) against the rubber to make a sort of "imprint," and then cut that out roughly with my scissors. And be careful on this part. You don't want to cut a huge hole, just one large enough to push the grommet through eye through. (And don't slice your thumb off.)
Follow the instructions on the grommet packaging to complete the grommet process. If you've never done this before, try it out on a scrap of fabric first so you can get the hang of installing grommets.
Thread the ribbon through and tie in a neat bow. Trim length if needed.
Use fray check along the cut edges of the bow. Let dry. (Which obviously, I didn't do before taking the photos. Ha!)
So fun! These are perfect for kiddo field trips and visits to pumpkin patches, etc.
Go forth and put grommets on things! (grin)
Before I go... I wanted to update you on shop news. Christmas garlands are nearly done and I'm gonna dance a happy dance when I have invoiced and mailed out that last one too! (I am so grateful to your orders and to my helpers. What a blessing.) That said, I'm really not trying to rush any seasons here, but I decided to make as many holiday items available from Oct-Nov this year as possible so that I can once again lock down my shop in early December. I don't have a definite date for that yet but probably around the second week of December, so make sure and get your orders in before then. I sold out of the ball jar towels last week, and I'm going to make a huge batch once these garlands are done, as well as (fingers crossed-hopefully) give thanks napkins and eat, drink, be merry napkins. I have also added a couple of cute holiday items like this vintage ornament print. It's available as a photo print or as a wrapped canvas. (Shown here as a 16x20 size) The canvas is amazing! I'm offering it in a variety of sizes from as small as 11x14" to as large as 24x36." I am going to hang the 24x36" sized one in my house in December. (Oooh I can't wait to decide where it should go!)
There is one more week to use the coupon code "SHOPHAPPY" for 10% off your total order! It expires on October 26th. Click here, to shop!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend friends. Tomorrow is our day of rest.. and I'm going to savor that!

Love the way you've used the stamp set Val, it's a lovely card. Not easy sticking to primary colours is it, hopefully the secondary colours will be nicer to use:)ReplyDelete
Val x
A lovely card, which fits our colour challenge perfectly. Thanks for sharing with us at make My Monday. CazReplyDelete
I actually think the background works perfectlly for it allows the die-cut on the yellow & theose little die0cut panels within it to really stand out against the busyness - if you know what I mean. Unusually fun & I love the way you've layered all those die-cuts for the sentiment. Doesn't the polka dot ribbon work beautifully with those tulip heads & the polka dot vase?ReplyDelete
Paula (PEP)
