A few days ago, my husband mentioned that I have not made Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip in a long time. He's right-- in fact, I haven't made it since January-- and I did blog about it. This recipe receives a lot of hits on GOOGLE, so it must be a very popular way of preparing this affordable cut of meat. Here it is-- it is always in a triangular shape. I paid about $5.75 a pound, so this cut cost about $13.00. This could easily feed four very hungry people, but as many as six guests. Tri-tip used to be a lot cheaper, but people caught on to this cut of meat and drove up the prices a bit. Bummer.
I decided to make this recipe for Labor Day, and to take new photographs. So, this is a revised and updated version of how to make this popular meal. If you don't live in California, then you might not be familiar with this cut of meat. I found an illustration and info on what tri-tip is on Wikepedia. Essentially, it's from the bottom sirloin.
Tri-tip is really popular in the Salinas Valley (California), where I live. Actually, it's popular all over California! On many weekends, I see barbecues set up in parking lots, selling this meat for fundraisers. Typically, tri-tip is served with ranch style beans (or chili), garlic bread and a salad. A few years ago, my husband and I were returning from a cruise to Mexico and we decided to pull into the coastal town of Santa Maria for lunch. We noticed a BBQ set up in a parking lot, and they sure were doing a brisk business selling tri-tip. Wow! This was the best tri-tip we've ever had.
California Grill masters pride themselves in cooking tri-tip with oak wood. This takes a lot of time, and I don't have oak wood readily available. It's not cheap! When I found this recipe in an issue of Cook's Country Magazine (part of the Cook's Illustrated family) I knew I had to make this. Forget BBQ sauce... this is an amazing recipe! Cook's Illustrated adapted this recipe where you used wood chips, soaked in water. You grill the tri-tip, seasoned only with salt & pepper (the Santa Maria way) and-- towards the end-- you add the wet chips to the coals to give a smoky flavor to the meat. I'm telling you, if you love to eat red meat-- this is to die for! Seriously, it's worth trying.
Christopher Ranch in nearby Gilroy, California-- home of the famous "Gilroy Garlic Festival". You also need olive oil and kosher salt-- not table salt, or it will be totally inedible. Kosher salt only! I love my garlic mincer. It saves time and does the job very well, thank you.
In the meantime, Craig got the coals ready and I soaked some hickory chips in water (I can't seem to find oak chips, but these work fine). I removed the meat from the fridge to bring it to room temperature. I deviated from Cook's Country's recipe instructions-- the recipe says to sear the meat on indirect heat (coals shoved off to one side) for five minutes, and then remove the garlic with a paper towel. Why? Because garlic burns easily and turns bitter. Phooey! That's a hassle, so this is what I did-- and it works great
Over direct coals, the meat was seared for about five minutes on each side-- so it's doesn't have that wonderful crust...just yet. Carefully, the roast is removed from the grill and then damp chips are scattered over the coals. Then, the meat was moved to indirect heat (away from the coals), covered with the vents open and grilled for about 20 minutes. Craig doesn't like rare meat, so we went for 140F-- otherwise, go for 130F if you like it red in the middle.
I was so busy, today, making a sweet potato hash and a Mile High cake (I will post later on in the week) that I never got around to making Pioneer Woman's Ranch Style Beans (or Santa Maria beans, which I should blog about someday). Instead, I toasted some sandwich rolls and ate these as a sandwich. Craig added mayo, fresh lettuce and fresh garden tomatoes. Me? I ate it plain, with a green salad.
This rocks my world. It's rocks my husband's world. We love this. Leftovers make excellent fajitas...but I think these will be in our lunch boxes tomorrow.
I hope you can find this cut of meat where you live. This is it! Just like we devoured in a Santa Maria parking lot. Wonderful memories.
We had a relaxing and wonderful Labor Day.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell all of you....My son moved out! He's almost 21, and it was time for Mama Bird to nudge baby bird from the nest. Yep, he's settling into his own apartment, with a friend. He loves his new place. He's about 10 minutes from home. My son will weep if he hears he missed out on this dinner. I wonder what he's eating? Mac 'N Cheese, no doubt. From a box.
We mom's know how to lure our kids to visit, don't we? I'm sure he'll show up for Sunday Suppers when he grows tired of bachelor cooking.
I hope all of you enjoyed your weekend,

What is a field experience?
The Goals of Field Experience
A field experience has a number of goals:
Slide 1
- To help students become better educators through observation and collaboration with mentor teachers.
- To provide a wide variety of location experiences (urban/suburban, public/private, traditional/Montessori, etc.), and teaching experiences (tutoring, small group instruction, curriculum preparation, assessment, whole group instruction, etc.)
- To convert strategies and knowledge gained from coursework theories into practice.
- To work within the conceptual framework of The University of Akron.
- To provide experiences in real school settings, allowing you to be immersed in the school culture.
- To provide meaningful experiences which can be added to your professional resume.
- To provide a network of professional contacts which may benefit students in eventual employment.
How can we help you?
- What is expected of a field experience student?
- Are there liability issues?
- FAQs about field experience
- Optional field log form
- Field Experience Handbook
FBI and BCI requirements
If you are taking a course that requires field work, or student teaching, you are REQUIRED to have both a current BCI and FBI clearance. This is a mandated requirement from the school districts. The BCI/FBI must have been completed within the past year.
You may NOT take expired documents to your field placement or student teaching sites.
Do not wait until the start of the semester; please handle this immediately so your paperwork is ready for the start of the semester. The state department is saying that it takes 30 days to process. If something shows up on your record, even if it has been expunged, it will take longer to process.
Always request a copy for your own records. You will have to have a copy with you to present to the school district(s) you are assigned to. You do not need to send a copy to the COE or Office of Student Teaching; it is your responsibility to manage your documents.
If you do not have the required documents ready for when your field course or student teaching starts, you may not be able to complete the requirements of the course. The COE and/or Office of Student Teaching cannot waive this requirement and give you permission to start at the school. Once again, this is a mandated district policy.
Please note that if you have a misdemeanor on your record, and ODE says it will not prevent you from obtaining a license, school districts may not accept you in their schools and our office cannot guarantee placement for field and/or Student Teaching.
If you incur a new violation that will be placed on your BCI and or FBI report once you have started the semester, you must report it to the Director of Teacher Education immediately.

FinREC Comment Letter Provides Recommendations to SEC Regarding Money Market Fund Financial Reporting Matters
October 17, 2013
The American Institute of CPAs' (AICPA) Financial Reporting Executive Committee (FinREC) has provided a number of recommendations relating to certain financial reporting matters affecting money market funds in response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed rule, Money Market Fund Reform; Amendments to Form PF.
In its Sept. 16, 2013 comment letter, FinREC agreed with the SEC that U.S. GAAP would not preclude a money market fund with a floating NAV or the ability to impose liquidity fees and gates from being classified as a cash equivalent. FinREC noted that conclusions reached by the Commission about the classification of a money market fund for financial reporting would affect all institutional investors, impacting not only SEC registrants, but non-public entities as well, including certain entities that follow standards established by an accounting standards board other than the FASB. For purposes of clarity and broad understandability, FinREC recommended that the SEC request the FASB codify the SEC's views on the classification of a money market fund as a cash equivalent, and consider other accounting standard setters that should document the relevant views in that accounting framework.
FinREC also expressed the view that the SEC should not require disclosure of sponsor financial statements when an explicit guarantee does not exist and offered several suggestions for purposes of amending Form N-1A relating to money market funds.
In addition, FinREC asked the Commission to consider providing, either in the final release or through supplemental guidance, commentary regarding various financial reporting matters that may arise in the preparation of the financial statements and the notes thereto as a result of adopting such proposals.

3-year trial will test non-virus vaccine's ability to prevent the onset of AIDS in healthy people who subsequently become infected with HIV.
Along with other teams across the US, researchers at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center are recruiting individuals at high risk of contracting HIV for a nationwide clinical trial to investigate whether the combination of two potential vaccines will stimulate an immune response to the virus that causes AIDS.
The study is funded by the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
"We hope that this trial will help us better understand how the immune system may work to prevent HIV/AIDS," said infectious diseases researcher Mamta Jain, MD, MPH, principal investigator of the UT Southwestern effort. "It is with this better understanding of the immune system that we may ultimately find a vaccine that may prevent HIV infection."
Dr. Jain stressed that participants cannot contract HIV from the vaccine.
"This trial may help us better understand why some people develop AIDS and others don't. If you could prevent people from getting sick from AIDS, that's a tremendous accomplishment."
Both components of the combined vaccine, which is designed to produce immune cells called T cells and antibody responses against HIV, have been found safe when tested in animals and hundreds of humans in previous clinical trials.
"The vaccine is composed of man-made proteins that are found in HIV, not the HIV virus itself," Dr. Jain said. "The vaccine cannot cause infection."
HIV is transmitted predominantly by unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner. Although huge leaps in scientific knowledge over the past three decades have led to a much better understanding of the complex disease, preventing its spread has proved much more challenging.
Today, someone in the U.S. becomes infected with HIV every 10 minutes.
The study, known as the HVTN 505 study, is designed to determine whether this new combo-vaccine will reduce the HIV viral load of people who subsequently become infected with HIV, preventing the onset of AIDS.
For the clinical trial, 1,350 volunteers nationwide will be assigned randomly to receive either the combination vaccine or a placebo. Forty to 50 people will participate at UT Southwestern; the next closest site is 650 miles from Dallas at the Alabama Vaccine Research Clinic in Birmingham.
"This is the only HIV vaccine trial in the country enrolling participants, so we are very excited to be part of this endeavor," Dr. Jain said.
Participants in the three-year study:
• Will receive three shots of the research vaccine or a placebo, plus a booster shot, within the first six months.
• And will then return every three months for an HIV test, interview and risk-reduction counseling.
Investigators are seeking to enroll healthy, non-HIV-infected men ages 18 to 45 who have sex with men, and transgender women who have sex with men.
For more information about the clinical trial:
• Call 214-590-0610 or 214-590-0603,
• Or visit www.hopetakesaction.org.

Inner Journey...sublime medicine
Reviewer: Sadhana Kaur Iowa
This Solstice season, I have been journeying with the meditations on Inner Journey. Many Blessings and Gratitude for the healing that is occurring in it for myself, family, and All. Last week, I was asked to do something that went against my Soul, I went unconscious and said yes. Then I got some kind of insect bite and I had an allergic reaction to, that created some hysteria, in reaction to my body's reaction. I did get some medication for this, and I had to sleep for a few days, and after about a week, I am vertical and feeling so much better. The welts from the stings helped me move through some ancient and this life stories, and the meditation was the balm for the inflamed pain releasing. I also said no, kindly to the question asked of me by a family member, consciously, and this brought relief to us all. I have used this CD through out, since all I could do was lie down and heal. So I put the headphones on and listened, slept through it, listened, and then listened some more. I could feel the memories releasing and then I blistered up, and I could feel the vibration of the meditation vibrating them out, and the dipping...the submerging into the Nectar Tank, was so cooling and in every direction...so full of comforting bliss. Coinciding with this solstice clearing will be a new pair of hand made moccassins, to walk on the prairie here. That will be sublime. When the man who makes them was tracing each foot, I felt the Karma and the Dharma, that is part of the Inner Journey meditation, I felt the meditation integrate. You know those moments, when every cell sounds. I closed my eyes to anchor it. He just called and said they were finished, so they will be the solstice symbol in this new way I am walking Home. I am going to continue this meditation until August 5, which happens to be both the date of ceremony for my brother's Deacon Ordination and also 90 days after my 56 birthday this May. I have about 4 more days before I can be in the sun or heat, so I am enjoying this retreat and sharing this with you now. I can't say that I was sick, angry, revengeful, or victim through this. There was pain, and then freedom in the release. Dhiann. Namo, Namo, Sadhana Kaur

Dr. Michael Knepp
Teaching Area(s): Psychology and Neuroscience
Title: Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience
Courses Taught: Neuroscience
I became interested in physiology and medicine in undergraduate school, which led me to the neuroscience degree. I became interested in teaching over a more research-oriented position while working as the psychology teaching assistant coordinator at Virginia Tech.
Professional Accomplishments
One of my professional accomplishments is being one of the youngest to give a symposium talk at the Society for Psychophysiological Research (SPR) a few years ago and having my anxiety and the cardiovascular system talk go over well.
Teaching Style
With my courses, I like to bring in actual research examples into the classroom so students can either read from the source or experience it firsthand. In the neuroscience courses, students read topical articles from the field and discuss them in class. In the advanced courses, each student will lead a day of discussion. I also bring in various processing, construction and language tasks so students can view how everyone processes information differently.
Research and Curricula
I recently completed a study that looks at whether or not students actually read consent forms or not for both online and in-lab studies, and will be conducting an updated version of it this spring. My honors thesis student has submitted her paper on how birth control impacts physiological factors and facial attraction for publication over the winter. The undergraduate research team will be in its second semester in spring 2013 with four students running multiple cardiovascular and neuropsychological studies. As for curricula, I've redone the neuroscience classes to include electrophysiology basic and applied human research labs.
Favorite Building
It's Tolerton and Hood Hall, because I do enjoy the view of the Campus Lakes from my office when the fountains are on.
School Size
I find it's easier here versus the larger schools I have been at to conduct more personalized demonstrations. There are certain types of small projects you can do in these settings to get students some applied field knowledge that you just cannot do at other places.
Preparing Students
Mount Union gives students the skill sets needed not only to pursue a job in their defined major but to open up ways to use what they learned to assist their way through their careers. In our department, the focus is on methodology and getting practical internship and research experience. This approach can give different approaches to thinking and reasoning, which leads to better preparation for the work environment and graduate school.
Research Interests
My primary interest has been the various effects that anxiety can have on the autonomic nervous system, in particular, with outcomes to cardiovascular system regulation. I have been investigating these effects in terms of long-term trait impacts of worry as well as through interactions of anxiety with short-term stressors. I am also interested in how differences in right and left frontal hemispheric function relate with various performance and personality trait variables in college students.
B.S., Neuroscience, University of Pittsburgh
M.S., Developmental and Biological Psychology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Ph.D., Developmental and Biological Psychology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
In our department, the focus is on methodology and getting practical internship and research experience. This approach can give different approaches to thinking and reasoning, which leads to better preparation for the work environment and graduate school.
- If You Could Teach Another Class
- I'd teach general physics or improvisation in theatre.
- Favorite Quote or Motto
- "Don't drive angry."
- Surprising News
- I am a big fan of British television like Sherlock and Doctor Who and older stuff like Fawlty Towers and Spaced.
- If You Weren't a Professor
- I would do mostly likely be doing something either in medicine or cardiovascular and neurological research or maybe be an astronaut if we start boosting NASA's funding again.
- Places to Visit or Things to Do
- Visit Japan—in particular Kyoto and Hokkaido areas. A friend of mine just went home to see family Tokyo and it makes me want to travel there as well.
- Favorite Movie
- The Two Towers
- Favorite Book
- The Caves of Steel
- Hobbies and Interests
- I love watching and playing a wide range of sports including, but not limited to, baseball, basketball, golf, soccer and tennis.

About a year and a half ago, Z. Bear Diapers outgrew Stephanie's home storage space. She and Joe found a space that would fill the need for additional storage and also accommodate a small showroom, and the next phase of Z. Bear began.
"There's so much information online about cloth diapering, it can get really overwhelming really fast," she said. "I wanted to be a local resource so parents can come in and see firsthand the different options that are available."
Stephanie also does cloth diapering consultations at the store, and local customers can pick up orders there as well. She estimates that 85-90 percent of her business is local. "That's what I love," she said.

When I got to work Thursday morning I could tell it was going to be one of "those" days.
Sadie Smeck, our editorial intern, couldn't get onto the Internet. Then Calendar & Directories Editor Mala Blomquist couldn't access any of our internal network drives. Then Marketing Director MaryAnn Ortiz-Lieb called in from a meeting to say she couldn't access her email.
Deep breath.
I called Leon Hauck, who does our IT troubleshooting and he said he'd be over within the hour.
We all looked at each other, baffled. What could we do now? Our email was down, we couldn't get on the Internet and we couldn't access any of our network files. (Our website, which is hosted in "the cloud," was fine.)
I did the only thing I could think to do. I declared a snow day.
Never mind that it was 97 degrees before we even got to work, or that it was expected to top out at 111. We were stuck. We couldn't engage in our typical routines. We needed to think outside the box.
A momentous anniversary arrived this month with little fanfare. It's now been a year since "The Great Office Flood of 2010," when we were forced to evacuate our office for three months as we dried out from a burst pipe in the suite overhead. When we were finally able to move back in, we were so focused on getting back to the business of running the business that we let many non-essential tasks fall by the wayside.
That included the unpacking of dozens of boxes and the sorting through piles of flood-damaged items we just never seemed able to find the time (or mental energy) to examine.
It didn't really bother me until Mala told me that someone had come to our office one day and asked if we were moving. And that made me realize that we were still operating in kind of a triage mentality. We never really settled back into our space. It was almost like we didn't trust the fact that we were staying.
Our "snow day" was a first step toward rectifying that situation. I ran around the office and announced that were were going to use this "found" time to tackle the boxes and piles, get rid of things we didn't need, get ourselves organized. Mala, Solvay and Sadie quickly embraced my plan. Mala grabbed a big box and started filling it with papers for the recycle bin. I dumped a pile of awards, plaques and framed photos on the floor and Sadie and Solvay started mounting them on the walls. Then I dragged 22 years worth of hastily packed RAK history — much of it brittle, stained and rippled by water damage — into the hallway so I could organize it by year.
Snow days are gifts. Moments when time stands still. Times when small moments matter, and memories are rediscovered.
I heard Sadie, who will be a junior in college this fall, talking to 12-year-old Solvay in a nurturing and affirming manner born of their unexpected camaraderie.
"You have a good eye, Solvay!" she said as they decided where to pound nails and place plaques. I heard Solvay talking to Sadie about last year's flood. "I really learned a lot about the magazine's history when the flood happened," she said, a positive memory of a time filled with frantic packing and unpacking, but also with staff members sharing stories about our past.
Snow days are gifts. Moments when overwhelming tasks, like tackling this pile in the corner of my office…
…yield unexpected, and joyful, surprises. Like this picture I found of my two sons, now grown, who were helping me staff a Raising Arizona Kids booth at a big community event so very long ago.

Maybe the guy from 2C could give some advice here. I don't have two accounts to test myself once I do then I might be able assist in more detail as in debugging specific issues.
Maybe the guy from 2C could give some advice here. I don't have two accounts to test myself once I do then I might be able assist in more detail as in debugging specific issues.
Thanks. Yeah he's been quiet for a while
As for a second account, if you do want to get one go for the WebAfrica local top up. R20 will get you a gig that doesn't expire-perfect for testing
I guess I need to setup that account with Default Gateway unticked.Code:Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 196.209.xxx.xxx 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
yeah. You want the default route to be ur international one because u explicitly setting routes for the local account i.e. the non default routes.
if you have two default routes OS normally pushes out on the one with better metric but if they both have the same metric it may be pushing the same data out on both and getting very confused!
Good news: I've been able to split traffic between local and international at the router level.
Bad news for most: I only have an instruction set for linux users. By that I mean the theory has already been covered as to how it should work. But I went about the practicality of setting up the router from a Linux box. I need to tidy up how I did it but when I do (and post it here), you will see why it is specific to Linux users.
Kewl. Let us know what u've done. Keen to see how u got it working.
I suppose I might as well post my findings from the easier part. I followed 2CTelecoms instructions on the previous page:
1. I deleted the existing quickstart profile on the router.
2. Applied, Saved the settings and rebooted the router.
3. When it starts up again (after logging in), it will start you through the 'quickstart wizard'.
4. I clicked on the Advanced tab (ie I did not follow the wizard).
5. WAN --> New Connection.
6. Importantly, I setup the connection as quickstart. I found through experience that the router seems to need a quickstart profile.
7. quickstart is the international connection (ppp0). Set Sharing to Enable and VPI and VCI as 8 and 35 respectively. Enter login details. Everything else you can leave.
8. Apply, Save Settings.
9. WAN --> New Connection
10. Give the connection a name. Since it is the local one I called mine local. This is ppp1.
11. Enable Sharing. Set PVC to 8:35. Untick Default Gateway. Also enter login details of your local account.
12. Apply. Save Settings. Connect. Apply. Save Settings. Reboot Router. (This is overdo I suspect but hey).
13. Your router is now ready to take instructions as to how to split traffic.
If you do not have the routers with problems,
you should be able to do from a command line (linux or windows)
1. telnet 10.0.0.2
2. Enter username --> root
3. Enter password --> <Router Password>
4. Enter shell
5. Enter ifconfig
ifconfig should show ppp0 and ppp1 with IP addresses beginning with 41 and 196 respectively.
Here is the script that prepares everything (I've called it prepare_netroutes.sh)
I've only run it on my Debian install and there is a small problem which entails manually deleting environment variables in setrouter.sh before running it.Code:#!/bin/sh cd ~ curl http://alm.za.net/ip/localroutes4.txt | while read line do [ "$( echo $line | grep \/32 )" ] && line=$( echo $line | sed s/net/host/ ) echo $line | sed s/\$LOCAL/ppp1/ done > ~/newroutes.txt cat ~/newroutes.txt | while read route do export $(ipcalc -m $(echo $route | sed -e 's/^.*net\ \([0-9\.\/]*\).*$/\1/')) echo $route | sed -e "s/\/[0-9]*/ netmask $NETMASK/" done > ~/netroutes.txt rm -f localroutes4.txt rm -f newroutes.txt cat netroutes.txt | grep route > clean.txt cat clean.txt | while read line do echo 'send "'$line'\r"' echo 'expectprompt "#"' done > routes.txt rm -f setrouter.sh cat routerlogin.txt routes.txt dns.txt > setrouter.sh chmod +x setrouter.sh rm -f netroutes.txt rm -f routes.txt rm -f clean.txt
Code:[root:~#] cat routerlogin.txt /usr/bin/expect << EOF proc expectprompt { txt } { expect { \$txt {} timeout exit; eof exit; } } set timeout 60 spawn telnet 10.0.0.2 expectprompt "login:" send "root\r" expectprompt "Password:" send "insert_your_router_password_here\r" expectprompt "cli>" send "shell\r" expectprompt "#"So I have dns.txt and routerlogin.txt in my home directory. you also need to ensure that that the expect package is installed. You need to make sure the script is set to be executable by doing a chmod u+x prepare_netroutes.Code:[root:~#] cat dns.txt send "route add -host 22.214.171.124 ppp0\r" expectprompt "#" send "route add -host 220.127.116.11 ppp0\r" expectprompt "#" send "exit\r" expectprompt "cli>" send "quit\r"
Then what you do is run the prepare_netroutes script. This will create a file called setrouter.sh. Then run setrouter.sh to setup the routes on the router.
You will also need the following 2 files in any directory in your path.
Use this particular ipcalc especially as for instance the one I got for my Debian off the repos didn't work with this script. The ipcalc that works is the one from FC7.
DISCLAIMER: As always, if something goes wrong with your config. it is not my problem. You do this at your own risk.

ok, that all seems straightforward. now we need the issue u had and why u had to use another linux server to fix it.
this solution should be an awsome breakthrough!!
would this mean that the 100wr could effectively do the same as routesentry?
if so would there be any differences or advantages of using either routsentry or the 100wr to split local/int trafic?
just guessing here, but if it works, will the 100wr will loose all routing settings on reboot?
z3r3 - my main OS is always a linux install (whether it be debian, FC or some other variant). That is why my solution is linux based.
Here is the script that prepares everything (I've called it prepare_netroutes.sh)
EDIT: Instructions moved to post above (Post #52)
Last edited by milomak; 21-08-2007 at 11:16 AM.
scud - unfortunately the router seems to lose all that even if I Save Settings after running the setrouter.sh.
That is probably something that must be fixed by firmware. That is, for the routing table not to be erased on reboot.
ok thats kewl. I thought u meant u set up the routing to the various interfaces on linux not that u scripted it thru to the router thru linux.
Based on what u've done its straight forward to make a script for XP. I'll prolly take what u've done and combine in with the spreadsheet macro from that other dude on the forums.
My next step is to get the gpl code from 2C and then compile the script into the image for the device so it isn't lost at bootup. What I might do is see if I can script programming static routes into the device via the interface but I'll have to see about that one.
Last edited by z3r3; 24-06-2007 at 08:35 PM.
z3r3 if you manage to get hold of 2C an get the code please get in touch with me on PM, I'd like to see if I can help with adding those routes on the interface. Also, since I have one of the old (read-fubar) routers that need the second interface set up manually if I figure the local ip issue sorted out I'll post step by step procedures for setting that up as well.
After checking out the cli quite thoroughly (I found a cpl manuals and syntax guides), I can see two problems as far as I can figure:
1) I can only add 30 static routes
2) It has to be an IP as gateway not named connection.
So I guess there's no way to use that cli to setup and save into flash all the routes I need . That pretty much leaves needing to get the GPL code.
Yeah when I was going through the web interface (routing table), I noticed that there seemed to be fewer than the 917 routes in the localroutes4.txt file.
EDIT: Running route -n from the router shows a whole lot more routes. And actually if I save the scripts file from the option to show the routing table (option seems to only come up if you access that page running Konqueror), the resultant file has all the routes so it loads them all no problem.

Founded by close friends Don Clark and brothers Ron and Bill Fenech (each having over 25 years of experience in the RV industry). Although they have lead some of the most successful companies in the RV industry, and are proud of their accomplishments at Keystone RV, they recognized that it was becoming more difficult to stay in touch with the needs of customers, employees, and the products being built.
So, in 2011 they began pursuing their dream of reconnecting on a more personal level with customers and dealers. The result of that pursuit is Grand Design RV. A company designed to create recreational vehicles that provide more features, better designs and unparalleled customer support!

(It is here, dear reader, that you should depart if you have not read the novel and do not want to learn important details of plot and situation, for I shall soon be writing about some of the primary mysteries of the tale........)
One of the ideas propelling the narrative of Under the Dome is that it is a rare person who will not, under the right circumstances, behave in a cruel and brutal way. There's nothing particularly profound about this -- we all know about the Milgram experiments, after all -- but it's one of those ideas that proves particularly fruitful for storytellers. In Lord of the Flies, Golding found a powerful template for such an idea, and King has extended it to the world of adults, although the adults who are self-reflective and try for decency often think back to the shames and cruelties of childhood. Shame for the decent people usually comes as much from complicity as from the commission of crimes: Dale "Barbie" Barbara, the primary protagonist-hero of Under the Dome carries tremendous guilt for having stood by while soldiers under his command tortured and killed a man in Iraq. Barbie's shame mixes at the end with the very different shame of the other protagonist-hero, Julia, who helps evoke a sort of pity from the alien child controlling the Dome by projecting her memories of abasement at the hands of the children who had attacked her in elementary school along with Barbie's memories of Fallujah, and the effect is to cause the alien child to lift the Dome: "She took pity," Julia says, "but she wasn't sorry." The shame wasn't enough to bridge the gap of species and create empathy, but it is enough to evoke pity and a sort of mercy.
There are more implications in the novel's exploration of such emotions as pity, empathy, and remorse, but the one I found most striking was how the reader becomes implicated by the narrative. The people who get their news of the Dome from CNN are observers, just as the aliens are observers, just as we are observers. We take pity and are not sorry, because this is our entertainment. There's a Hitchcockian element to it all -- reading the book, we share some qualities with the aliens who have set the Dome down on the town of Chester's Mill. The Dome is there in the narrative for our entertainment. The characters suffer and die because we read the words that equal their suffering and death: we create that suffering and death in our minds, and we take some sort of pleasure from the imagining. Julia hears the alien child say, "You aren't real," and "How can you have lives if you aren't real?" Julia tries to convince the alien otherwise, screaming out that she is, indeed, real:
--Prove it [the alien child says.]The moment can't help but be metafictional. The words we have read are tools that let us imagine a character named Julia, and that imagined character, like all the other characters in the book, has, indeed, taken our mind. If we have read this far, we want her to live. We have developed more feelings for her than the alien child has, though, because we are capable of more than pity -- our minds have turned the words into characters and situations, and those characters and situations have evoked emotions. We have reached the point in the narrative where we want the tension to be released, where we are ready for an end, and so the Dome lifts ... and a few pages later, the book runs out of words.
--Give me your hand.
--I have no hand. I have no body. Bodies aren't real. Bodies are dreams.
--Then give me your mind!
The child does not. Will not.
So Julia takes it.
Thus, King has made us complicit. We are the alien children. Storytelling is an experiment in cruelty. We could have stopped reading at any point. We did not need to imagine the suffering and horrible destruction -- we could have stopped it. But we wanted to see what happened. We wanted to be entertained, amused, to pass some time with this toy of a tale. Fiction is a safe way to enjoy all sorts of things we'd rather not enjoy in life, because it's all make-believe. How can the characters have lives if they aren't real? It's just a story.
The narrative voice supports the metafiction -- it is not invisible. From the earliest pages, the narrator tells us of things that will happen in the future. By page 37 (of the U.S. hardcover) we can't ignore the narrator, who suddenly steps forward:
We have toured the sock-shape that is Chester's Mill and arrived back at Route 119. And, thanks to the magic of narration, not an instant has passed since the sixtyish fellow from the Toyota slammed face-first into something invisible but very hard and broke his nose.If the narration has been transparent, it has now revealed itself to be, like the Dome, very hard indeed.
The narrator, being a good storyteller, encourages our fun, popping in now and then to let us know that everything is going to get much worse. If we keep reading and are horrified at the carnage, we cannot say we were not warned.
The citizens of Chester's Mill aren't like ants being tortured and killed by sadistic children, as the survivors think. They're like characters in a novel: their misery is the stuff of someone else's entertainment.
Maybe Aristotle was right, and great tragedy produces some sort of purging of pity and fear. If so, Under the Dome is a great tragedy about great tragedy. Scholars have argued for centuries over who benefits from Aristotle's purgation -- the creator, the characters, the audience? We could argue the same for Under the Dome. For centuries, too, people have debated the uses of art and imagination, the morality of imagining suffering and horror, the complicity of narrative voyeurism.
And yet few of us desire stories where the characters do not face obstacles, do not struggle and suffer, because, alien children that we are, we can't help but want to set down Domes and see what happens.

Slate's Summer Movies Issue III
It's a sequel, but we promise it's good.
The sun is shining, the beaches are teeming, the Pop-Ice is in the freezer, and Sacha Baron Cohen's lawyers have been pulling all-nighters. It's time, in other words, for another edition of Slate's Summer Movies issue. This year, we explore the history of blowing up national landmarks on film, compile the zaniest escapes from mortal peril in the original G.I. Joe cartoon, offer tips on how not to adopt a demon child, ask stunt men what their favorite movies are, and complain about the indignities of watching movies outdoors. And the best part of it all? You don't even have to turn off your cell phone to enjoy the show. (In fact, you can read the issue on your cell phone at Slate's new mobile site.) So fire up a tub of popcorn, salt it to your liking, and start surfing.

If you've been reading my blog for a while, I tend to post step-by-step photos on how to recreate the recipe. I didn't really intend to blog this recipe, because I was tired (and hungry). It was dark outside, and I didn't want to set up a light stand in order to photograph. The recipe turned out to be very easy to make, and by the time I took the dish of baked pasta out of the oven-- and I took a taste-- I knew I had to share this.
I subscribe to Fine Cooking Magazine, and I signed up for their "Make It Tonight" newsletter. The star of the show is the "pink sauce". You need canned tomatoes (I used San Marzano), onion, garlic, fresh parsley and red pepper flakes. I pureed the tomatoes in my food processor in no time at all.
Once you saute' onion, garlic& red pepper flakes, you add the pureed tomatoes and 1/2 cup of heavy cream-- and that' s not a lot of cream, considering this recipe makes 8-10 servings. (Next time, I'll cut the recipe in half).
As always, a printable recipe is at the end of this post.

The spinal cord connects the base of the brain to the nerves of the body. It is surrounded by a protective bony canal called the spinal column, also known as the spine or backbone.
A spinal cord injury happens when the spinal column is fractured or when the ligaments holding the spine together fall out of place. The spinal cord within the spinal canal may become bruised or crushed. The damaged nerve pathways cannot properly send messages to other parts of the body, which may cause loss of sensation and muscle control.
The extent of the damage depends on the location of the injury along the spine. A complete spinal cord injury is when the spinal cord is cut all the way through. When this occurs, the patient has no feeling and cannot move below the level of the injury. In an incomplete injury, the patient has some feeling or movement below the level of the injury, and there is little damage to the spinal cord.
Treatment for spinal cord injuries depends on the extent, type, and location of the injury. At UPMC, we typically begin treatment with rest, analgesics and muscle-relaxing agents until swelling and pain have subsided. Corticosteroids are often started within eight hours of a spinal cord injury. Surgical fusion is often necessary to insure proper alignment, and decompression may help improve neurological symptoms in patients with incomplete cord injuries.
To determine the extent of the spinal cord injury, the doctor will test a patient's strength and movement of specific muscles, ability to feel light touch and a pinprick in key areas of the body, and ability to feel pressure at the anus and rectum. CT scans, MRI, and x-rays are all used to identify the problem area.
Symptoms of spinal cord injuries vary depending on the extent and location of the injury. Potential symptoms may include:
Treatment for spinal cord injuries depends on the extent, type, and location of the injury. At UPMC, we focus on preventing further injury and providing rehabilitation for patients with these injuries so they may return to an active and productive life.
Treatment usually begins with rest, analgesics and muscle-relaxing agents until swelling and pain have subsided. Corticosteroids are often started within eight hours of a spinal cord injury, which may reduce neurological damage in blunt injuries. Traction may be used to stabilize the spine or to bring it into proper alignment. In some cases, a rigid neck collar, or metal braces attached to a body harness or weights are used to immobilize the spine and keep the skull from moving. Physical therapy and rehabilitation may begin as soon as the patient's condition is stable.
The type of surgery depends on the extent and location of the spinal cord injury. Specialists at UPMC have extensive training and experience with minimally invasive spinal surgery and state-of-the-art technologies to treat spinal cord injuries. Surgery is often necessary to remove fragments of bone, foreign objects, herniated discs, or fractured vertebrae that are compressing the spine. Surgery may also be needed to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage and pain.

My only rule of thumb is to watch your baby and not the clock. As long as you're both comfortable, let your baby set the pace. Allow him to nurse as long as he wants on one side before switching. That way you'll know that he's getting enough high-calorie hindmilk to help him grow, and that you're maintaining an adequate milk supply.
Remember that for the first few weeks, babies need to nurse at least ten to 12 times in a 24-hour period. It's perfectly normal for a baby to take as little as five minutes or as much as an hour to complete a feeding, assuming that the baby is growing well (gaining 4 to 8 ounces per week in the first three months and growing in length and head circumference). When you allow your baby to set the pace, he develops an internal appetite control that tells him he's full when he's consumed the calories he needs for his growth.
Marathon nursing sessions usually precede a growth spurt. Your baby may feed every 20 to 50 minutes over several hours, rest for a while, and then want another feeding. He may nurse for even longer periods of time; after all, he's getting both nutrition and nurturing. Maybe he just enjoys being in your arms, smelling your skin, and feeling your heartbeat and warmth.
At age 3 months and again at 6 months, your baby might start nursing more frequently, as these are common times for growth spurts. If you allow your baby frequent and unlimited access to the breast, your milk supply will grow to meet his demand for extra calories. If you begin to limit his time at the breast, you'll interfere with the normal course of breastfeeding. After the growth spurt passes, your baby will settle back into a more predictable nursing pattern.
As your baby grows and becomes more proficient at nursing, he may spend only five minutes at your breast, leaving you missing those long nursing sessions.

TigerDirect Apologizes For Unlawfully Detaining Customer For Refusing To Show Receipt
The manager of the TigerDirect that unlawfully detained reader Shaneal Manek for his refusal to show a receipt called him this afternoon and apologized for his store's behavior. Shaneal told The Consumerist by phone that Tony, the store manager, pledged to retrain his staff on proper procedures and that they wouldn't retain the services of the security guard involved in the dispute.
Earlier, we spoke with Tiger Direct Executive Vice President Richard Wallet, who confirmed the receipt dispute incident did occur, and cast doubts on Shaneal's version of the events.
When asked whether the verbal altercation happened as Shaneal described, Wallet said he couldn't be sure as he wasn't there. He said that he found it unlikely that the security guard would taunt and threaten Shaneal as he had met the guard and he "didn't seem that type of guy."
Wallet accused Shaneal of trying to bait the store after being detained a week prior for also refusing to show a receipt. Shaneal said that on that occasion, he declined to show a receipt because he had already waited over an hour for a part to be pulled from the back, some more time at the register, and didn't feel like waiting in a line for a security guard to check his receipt when he was under no legal obligation to show the receipt. On that date, cops were called to intervene, which is store policy whenever there's a possibility of a confrontation with a customer, Wallet told us. He also said the cop told Shaneal to not return if he wasn't going to follow store policy. Shaneal says that that didn't happen.
Wallet also told us that on the date of the most recent incident, Shaneal purchased three items in two separate transactions and stuffed one of the receipts in his pocket and began to walk out of the store with his items. Wallet said the head cashier only saw one of the transactions and that gave her cause to tell the security guard to stop Shaneal. Shaneal told The Consumerist that he was buying items for a friend who wanted his own receipt for record-keeping purposes.
By law, shopkeepers are only allowed to detain customers under suspicion of shoplifting if they actually see the customer hide the item on their person.
Wallet encouraged any customer with a TigerDirect complaint to call him directly at 305-415-2441.
Shaneal told us that he is satisfied with how the situation got resolved and thanked us for posting his story as he felt it otherwise wouldn't have been paid as much attention by TigerDirect. Wallet said he had been fielding phone calls and emails about the issue all morning.

Does anyone speak Russian? The first review of the LG Nexus is now online, coming from the same Russian source that leaked a bunch of photos of the device earlier this week. We are using Google Translate to skim through the article, but you can head over to the source link and check out the pretty pictures right now.
New details from the review include:
- The inclusion of a multi-colored LED noficiation
- There are no pogo pins for accessories
- The micro SIM slot is on the left side below the volume rocker
- The back is completely smooth and glossy, perhaps scratch-resistent glass
- The sides of the device are made from a matte black rubberized plastic
- Size is 134 x 69.2 x 9.2 mm
- Weight is 139 g
Most importantly, the reviewer says "it is too foolish to describe the pros and cons of the device" because it has not been officially announced and they only have a prototype to play with.

Astellas aims for fairway in new health and wellness alliance
Astellas announced a three year partnership with the PGA TOUR as champion of their new Women's Initiative, which includes an Executive Women's Day, an expansion of the PGA Tour's current program, and the new Astellas Pavilion.
Executive Women's Day is a forum for female business leaders on professional, health-related and personal development discussions. Astellas Pavilion is a meeting place available to tournament participants to "engage and learn about wellness issues," the drug maker said in a release yesterday.
Astellas also noted, "The PGA TOUR's commitment to enhancing health and wellness aligns well with the Astellas focus on empowering and encouraging dialogue about the health and wellness issues that are not discussed often, such as overactive bladder."
The focus on OAB is unsurprising given their drug portfolio. Both Myrbetriq, their blockbluster hopeful and an oral extended-release formulation approved in July of last year, and VESIcare, which loses patent protection in 2015, are indicated for overactive bladder. The market for OAB stands at about 33 million right now and continues to grow as the population ages.
And that aging population continues to drive ratings for the PGA TOUR. In 2011, Sports Business Daily reported that 38.2% of the PGA TOUR's demographic was in the 45-64 age group, as was 41% of the LPGA TOUR's audience.
In a statement to MM&M, Astellas said the campaign is not product-focused: "This partnership is not specific to any product. Through this initiative, Astellas aims to help women obtain meaningful health-related and general wellness information," they said.
The drug manufacturer cited a comprehensive campaign around the PGA TOUR's 17 tournament season: "[We] plan to promote it through a 360-degree approach. This includes a combination of in-community and national activities, including traditional media, social media and integration with PGA TOUR properties."
The first Executive Women's Day will be held on February 26th at The Honda Classic Tournament in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

CAMBRIDGE, UK – Oct. 13, 2003 – ARM [(LSE:ARM) (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today announced its new CoreSight™ technology at the Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, Calif. Developed as the most comprehensive debug and trace solution for complete system-on-chip (SoC) designs, CoreSight technology provides system-wide visibility through the smallest port, significantly reducing time-to-market for developers. ARM® CoreSight technology provides the highest standard of debug and trace capabilities and can be leveraged for all cores and complex peripherals. The technology is designed to meet the wide range of needs of embedded developers and silicon manufacturers, such as providing wide system visibility with minimal overhead, thus reducing processor costs.
CoreSight technology builds on the ARM Embedded Trace Macrocell™ (ETM) real-time trace module, which is capable of instruction and data tracing inside a core and adds a wider range of functionality and systems including the tracing of multiple ARM cores, ARM and DSP cores, complex peripherals and busses. CoreSight technology, together with the ARM RealView® development tools, provides the developer with an integrated solution from a single supplier. As with the ARM Embedded Trace Macrocell technology, which is currently widely licensed and supported by the leading tool vendors, CoreSight technology sets the standard for SoC debug around which semiconductors manufacturers and tools vendors can achieve real interoperability.
"In the heavily populated embedded product marketplace, our Partners are always looking for technologies that give them a competitive edge," said William Orme, development systems program manager at ARM. "With the ARM CoreSight technology, Partners are equipped with system-wide monitoring and profiling capabilities in one package, giving them the tools they need to bring products to market quickly and with greater performance and reliability."
ARM CoreSight technology rapidly resolves different software bugs through the simultaneous tracing of multiple cores and AMBA™ bus activity. In addition to halting and testing all cores at once, CoreSight technology provides debug access to AMBA interconnect memory and peripherals without interrupting the processor, for hard real-time developments. For silicon manufacturers, the ARM CoreSight technology's higher compression rates provide a solution that extends debug and trace capabilities into new, higher frequency processor technologies. Using CoreSight technology, manufacturers can lower product cost by reducing the number of pins needed for debug, as well as the silicon area needed for on-chip trace buffers.
Two products, ARM CoreSight technology for the ARM11™ Family, and ARM CoreSight technology for the ARM9™ Family, are available for licensing now, with delivery 1H 2004.
About ARM
