Create Xbox Live open NAT, but connected through laptop for wireless?
Does anyone have an idea on how to have an open NAT for Xbox Live when you are sharing a wireless connection with a laptop?
Xbox -> ethernet -> laptop -> wireless -> router
|My System Specs
|12 Jun 2010
Um confused by "open NAT". You have the router specifically for the added security of the network address translation and you want to turn it off? Can you tell us exactly what you want to do?

I think he means stick it in the DMZ... so that the xbox is outside the firewall correct? This can't be done if its hooked into the laptop, it has to be plugged straight into the router. otherwise your laptop will be unprotected too
edit: Well it CAN be done... but that involves just turning off the NAT firewall... and i honestly can't recommend that with a clear conscience
|My System Specs
|12 Jun 2010
I realized that but wondered if he wasn't just trying to bridge the wifi, and Ethernet to provide connectivity. If he truly is trying to put the the Xbox in DMZ he is just asking for trouble. Would be like giving direct access to the bad guys.

The Fed, as expected, raised interest rates by 0.25% to 1.75%. Chairman Powell fulfilled expectations of a more hawkish FOMC, yet quelled concerns of too hawkish a tilt. We believe the Fed continues to risk being behind the curve in raising rates.Read here

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
After a recent spate of complaints that Windows 7 has been shortening the life span of and possibly damaging batteries in laptops after installing the new operating system, the senior Microsoft executive responsible for Windows 7 spoke out Monday.
In a lengthy post on the Engineering Windows blog, Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows Division President Steven Sinofsky told users the problems are most likely due to old or defective batteries.
"To the very best of the collective ecosystem knowledge, Windows 7 is correctly warning [about] batteries that are in fact failing and Windows 7 is neither incorrectly reporting on battery status nor in any way whatsoever causing batteries to reach this state. In every case we have been able to identify the battery being reported on was in fact in need of recommended replacement," Sinfosky's post said.
Although battery life complaints had been trickling out for months, particularly in regard to netbooks, more users of full-function laptops began complaining on Microsoft's TechNet forums in the past few weeks.
A surge of complaints first caught the media's attention in late January. Users complained about receiving the message "Consider replacing your battery," followed by battery failure, in many cases with older laptops but in some instances with brand-new machines and brand-new batteries.

Antipsychotic interactions may raise risk of death in SNF residents, study finds
Nursing home residents with cognitive impairment may face an increased risk of death if they receive an antipsychotic medication along with other drugs, new research shows.
Researchers conducted a study of nearly 60 nursing homes across Europe, as well as in Israel, between 2009 and 2011. The investigation included a cohort of more than 600 residents with cognitive impairment who were being treated with antipsychotic medications.
Nearly half of the residents studied were at risk for a potential antipsychotic drug interaction, according to study results published in the January issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. Those interactions were linked with a higher mortality rate when compared to the group of residents that were not exposed to potential drug interactions.
The study's authors warned that antipsychotic medications "should be used with extreme caution, especially among those individuals receiving concomitant cardiovascular or psychotropic medications."

Haydnas music has been performed continuously for more than two hundred years. But what do we play, and what do we listen to, when it comes to Haydn? Can we still appreciate the rich rhetorical nuances of this music, which from its earliest days was meant to be played by professionals and amateurs alike? With The Virtual Haydn, Tom Beghinahimself a professional keyboard playeradelves deeply into eighteenth-century history and musicology to help us hear a properly complex Haydn. Unusually for a scholarly work, the book is presented in the first person, as Beghin takes us on what is clearly a very personal journey into the past. When a discussion of a group of Viennese sonatas, for example, leads him into an analysis of the contemporary interest in physiognomy, Beghin applies what he learns about the role of facial expressions during his own performance of the music. Elsewhere, he analyzes gesture and gender, changes in keyboard technology, and the role of amateurs in eighteenth-century musical culture. The resulting book is itself a fascinating, bravura performance, one that partakes of eighteenth-century idiosyncrasy while drawing on a panoply of twenty-first-century knowledge.It was described as the aolda temperament in a tuning manual printed in Vienna as late as 1805 by Gall, who contrasts it with the anewa ... Gall (1805/1988), 62a 63. ... aCaprice / pour le Clavecin ou Piano-Forte / par Notes to Pages 103a123 289.

Once upon a time, computers were called "typewriters." They
ran on ink, which got all over the place and stained fingers and clothes.
Sometimes if you typed too fast, the mechanized parts got tangled and required
you to stick your fingers in to set them free. Also, editing was a complete
nightmare. And now, thanks to one crafty
how-toer, you can relive those glory days of techno-yore!
Starting at a mere $499, you can buy a refurbished standard
typewriter fitted with a USB cable to hook into your computer, laptop, or even
iPad (available via the artists' Etsy page–$59 how-to kits are
also available). The keyboard is refurbished from actual old school
keyboards–non-standard keys like the F1 through F12 can be activated via a
special toggle key.
The price for such a gadget is fairly ridiculous, but there
really is something about the feel of a typewriter and the clickity clack of thoughts pouring through fingers. So, if you can
put a price on nostalgia, I guess that is it.
Now we can all Facebook-stalk our friends and download
illegal music just like our grandparents did when they were procrastinating at

This episode was way easy to edit. I think Melanie and I leveled up our talking skills.
The Corpse Bride is a 2005 film directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson. The film is set in Victorian era England where the son of a rich fish monger, Victor, is to be engaged to the daughter of an 'old money' couple named Victoria. The match is a business arrangement. Love isn't even a factor. However, when the two young people meet they hit it off right away. Unfortunately, Victor is so nervous he screws up the wedding reception and after a stroke of bad luck, accidentally marries a dead woman named Emily.
This is a great stop motion film that's surprisingly touching and romantic despite its horror appearance. The Corpse Bride seems like she'd be a horror from the underworld who rises from the dead to exact revenge upon the living, but she's actually a sweet tragic heroine who you really feel for even if she's scary looking.
We tried to do a little more research for this review than normal, and hopefully it shows.

5 simple things to do that will make your Microwave last 50% longer.
Posted by: Nancy Adkins on January 29, 2016
5 Simple Things To Do That Will Make Your Microwave Last Longer.
The Microwave is one of the most used appliances in our homes.
The average family uses their microwave at least 5 times each and every day. When that appliance is no longer working it is a pain to get the things done with out this very useful tool.
The problem is the way we operate it everyday does things that will stop working faster than intended. In fact I probably could open up your microwave oven today, if I was in your house and tell you how long it would last.
5 Simple Things To Do To Make Your Microwave Out Last Its Current Life Expectancy By 50 %
Cover your food when you are heating food. The food will splatter all over the microwave and cause both health dangers and a dangerous situation for your microwave oven.
Use microwave safe items to hold your food. If you use a plate that is not rated for the microwave it can get hot and break causing potential damage. NEVER use metal in the oven it can cause a short and make it where your microwave is
Wipe down after ever use. - Food not only breaks the microwave oven but makes heating things difficult since you have to heat the stuff on the walls as well.
Never run your microwave when it is empty. The waves will fill up the space and break the components in your microwave. I recently ran into a client that had to replace their machine due to this happening. It breaks my heart when I can not help my client protect their appliances and make them last longer.
. Clean the microwave before you use it. - Running a microwave that is dirty regularly will does a few things including lowering life expectancy. I would recommend you clean it a minimum of one time a week and wipe it down after every use.
There Is One Simple Thing That Tells Me More About the Condition Of Your Microwave.
Your Microwave Oven will simply last longer if we clean and maintain it properly. its pretty simple a clean appliance will out last a dirty appliance at least by double.

since the departure of Tom Ford from Gucci & Yves St Laurent there is
no one more important in the world of fashion than the gay German man,
Karl Lagerfeld, and he has been for years.
we loved Tom Ford for his sexy, sassy, in-your-face
Texas-brand of coutour because no one had ever seen this type of work before...
the highly structured tailoring & fit of Gucci to the
extreme luxury of YSL.
i don't know about you, but i can hardly get dressed each day
without wondering what Karl would think of my outfit !!!
but, this time he's trying to be a jewelry and a garment designer
and I just hate it...i mean a girl has got to earn a living now, doesn't she?
from Style.com
By Sarah Mower
It didn't exactly come to Karl Lagerfeld in a vision—more of "an electronic flash in my head at five o'clock one morning. Silver and pastel," he said. "It's the first time in my whole career I've done a collection without black or navy. There's not one gold button."
I love love love the "scarf" at the neck, just beautiful
From the heart-shaped cartoonish hair to the rococo-heeled silver booties, the show was a mix of romanticism, space age, and incredible eye-tricking handwork—as hard to fix in one place as the mercury that seemed to be running through the seams. The clothes ranged from shorts suits to shifts, from frothy, cocooning bubbles to liquid togas. In some places, the embroideries looked like smashed glass or molten metal; in others, jewelry itself became part of the structure: A halter dress was suspended from a crystal choker, and a shoulder strap became almost indistinguishable from a diamond necklace.
not one piece in this collection would be considered "day" wear
all extremely dressed-up, even the suitings...so nothing for us Americans
this time
How to define it, though? Someone backstage suggested futurism. "I hate that," Lagerfeld shot back. "I don't believe in avant-garde clothes for a future that will never happen. Fashion is always now."
OK, just go ahead and KNOW we're all going to need silver accessories
of any kind
collection reminds me so much of the 60's, the Twiggy & Jean Shrimpton glory days
To fully describe a single technique—say, the horizontal bands of mille-feuille chiffon frills, minutely frayed at the edges, each layer hand-tinted in a dégradé way so that they almost look like fur from a few paces—requires an essay, not one of the sound bites Lagerfeld's so adept at tossing out. Chanel now produces six shows a year, and since last October, Lagerfeld has run from beige-y rustic ready-to-wear to khaki and red chinoiserie in Shanghai to this latest declaration that gold is out, silver in—and on with the iced fondants.
If it's hard to keep up, it's a method that certainly works in favor of couture customers, who would rather not buy anything that could be confused with clothes found hanging in a boutique. In its multifarious ways, this fleeting fantasia of prettiness—which in practice takes thousands of craftsperson hours to realize—fulfills that brief. While Karl Lagerfeld hurtles onward into the constant now.

Wayne Justmann: The OG Californian Cannabis Campaigner
Wayne Justmann first became involved in the cannabis legalization movement 30 years ago, after being diagnosed as HIV positive in July of 1988.
Proposition 215, the first state-level medical cannabis legalization victory in the United States in 1996, was spearheaded by many dedicated activists in the San Francisco Bay Area. These included celebrated heroes of the medical marijuana legalization movement such as Dennis Peron and Lynnette Shaw. Despite the leadership of these OGs, many others were invaluable in the pursuit of legal access to cannabis for sick patients twenty years ago. Chief among these players was Wayne Justmann.
30 years of legalizing medical cannabis
Justmann, now 71 years of age and living in San Francisco, first became involved in the cannabis legalization movement in 1989, after being diagnosed as HIV positive in July of 1988.
On the advice of friends, he sought cannabis to treat his disease instead of the pharmaceutical drugs prescribed by his physician.
Chatting to Wayne Justmann
Herb.co recently sat down with Justmann in his San Francisco home to discuss the role he has played in the cannabis legalization movement, and what has motivated him to remain a tireless advocate of medical marijuana for nearly 30 years.
You helped pass Proposition 215 more than 20 years ago. How did you enter the cannabis legalization movement back in the 1990s?
Wayne Justmann:
I was diagnosed HIV positive in 1988. The only medication that folks like me had – because there were not cocktails like today – were really harsh ones. At that time, like everybody else, I wasn't sure if the virus was going to kill me or the medicine was going to kill me.
I had heard that cannabis can help people like me. But I didn't want to go out in the streets to buy it. My friends referred me to 194 Church St. in San Francisco [the city's first cannabis dispensary]."
What did you find?
Love. Compassion. Pretty good weed. And people who were tied together because all of us knew somebody who was dying.
What do you think about the topic of recreational, or 'adult use' cannabis and how it compares to medical consumption?
I don't know what 'recreational' cannabis is. I'm not that smart. I leave that discussion for somebody else. [Holding up a jar of cannabis flowers] I know in this jar is ground up cannabis. I'm not sure if it's 'medical,' but I know it is for me! Because I'm HIV positive!
How has cannabis helped you medicinally for the past 28 years?
It helped me tolerate the HIV medicine. Without it, I'd be vomiting between here and the toilet. I couldn't hold anything down.
None of the pharmaceutical drugs were able to deal with your nausea?
No! I even tried Marinol. It made me sick! It was a chemical that made my stomach really ill. I was swallowing something that I don't think my system agreed to. If I smoke cannabis, I'm fine. If I vaporize, I'm fine. If I eat it, I'm fine.
Some leading doctors claim that cannabis is the best anti-nausea medicine in the world, better than anything that's been synthesized in a lab. What do you think?
I'll second that. But I'm not a doctor. However, I've shared cannabis with hundreds of patients over the years. I saw the relief that this plant gives to sick and dying people. Unfortunately, they're not here to tell their story. But I know what cannabis did for them, because I shared that experience.
One of the most famous and powerful cannabis legalization activists in the San Francisco Bay Area was Brownie Mary. Did you work with her?
Absolutely! She was a doll! She was a doll with a truck driver mouth. A week before she was going to die, no hair, and she was cursing like a sailor in the hospital. She had the courage and compassion, no matter what risks she was facing.
Brownie Mary made medical brownies and took them to sick and dying people in the hospital and got arrested! She wasn't selling them on a street corner! She was a delight.
She was one of the characters that really took penitentiary chances. Because every day, all of us went into that dispensary knowing full well that the federal government could come in and crush us, because we had no protection."
Before Proposition 215 passed in 1996?
Yes, like in the early '90s. We didn't have 215 to do our thing! Raids were going on.
You had balls of brass.
We had something. Our balls were in the conviction in our hearts. It had to be done because we had sick and dying people. Here in San Francisco back then, everybody knew someone who was sick. You went to church with them, you worked with them…
Is it fair to say that it wasn't necessarily about the cannabis, but more so it was about sick patients who were being mistreated by the medical establishment? That they felt, like you, that their medicine was as bad as their disease?
Don't even talk about it! Don't mention AIDS. We had a president, Reagan, who didn't mention AIDS. People didn't know what the hell it was to begin with. People were told not to hug or touch us because of our disease. That's what I went through.
Then the politicians and other leaders wanted to isolate us. Send us to some damn island and get rid of us!
Given your extensive role in the cannabis legalization history of California, what do you think about Proposition 64, which has brought adult use legalization to the largest state in the nation?
When laypeople are asked, what do you think about the legalization of cannabis, it sounds like a pretty good idea to most. But then people like me and Dennis Peron and Eddy Lepp have to ask, at what cost?
My problem with Prop 64 is the same thing with Proposition 19 back in 2010. I didn't support that either. All use of cannabis is medical and it's a plant! So when Prop 64 comes to fruition [in January 2018], do we need 60 pages of legal language to figure out what to do with the plant? No!
I see big government and big money coming in. That's why they added so much detail; to confuse the little guy and make it possible for cities to collect taxes. That's the problem with 64, in my opinion: We're still suffering the hangover from reefer madness.
That began in the 1920s…
And it still goes on. Oh, it's an illegal drug! We have to keep it away from children!
How do we rid society of 100 years of cannabis stigma?
I don't think it will happen. The reason is because advocates have sold their souls down the river to have access to cannabis in dispensaries. They accept things like being limited to growing only six or eight plants at home. And things like 1000-foot setbacks from schools. Advocates have sacrificed too much. We won't get that back.
Many states are setting the bar so high that the small players can't participate.
The small players are gone! In Arkansas, they are allowing only five growers! In Florida, you can't have flowers, you can't vaporize, you can't have edibles. What the hell can you have?!
Minnesota has a medical cannabis program. Wonderful. No medicine, though! This is how much of a joke medical marijuana has become. The legalization movement has gotten to the point that we are legislating silliness.
You've been on the leading edge of the medical cannabis legalization movement for nearly three decades, Wayne. Do you have any advice for Herb.co's readers?
I hope your readers challenge themselves to learn about the plant. Don't fear it. The more you can learn from it, the more you're going to appreciate it. I don't drink alcohol or smoke tobacco, but I'm not going to stop anybody from doing that. Please don't try to prevent me from exercising my right to smoke cannabis.

airport life
If you ask me it doesn't seem like a super nice place to raise a family. (Even a tiny bird family.) But, then again, when your alternative is to build your nest outside the airport in Newark... OK, I admit I don't know much about Jersey, but Newark I'm pretty sure is no milk-and-honey paradise for the small and winged. (Is it?)
Also, airport people eat messy fried food. Crumbs everywhere!
Plus: man, it is pouring out there. Smart birds.
Anyway, I'm headed home; full trip debriefing to come in a day or two, with jetlag and added pictures!

Picture Time
Det Blåser
This morning I did brave the weather to check out Atoklimpen. It's a crazy-looking mountain, traditionally a Sami holy place. ("Ato" means "that there" - a mountain too sacred to be named!) There's a little cottage and a grass hut at the foot of the hill. The cottage looks humble but secretly wields massive political power. It was built in the 1920s, back when the nomadic Sami were forbidden to build permanent structures. They were only allowed to live in tents. They built it anyway, and the fight over the cottage eventually changed the law. Hut power!
The place is still used for corralling herds of reindeer; I took a little stroll along a pathway past the cottage, which was low enough to escape the wind and rain, and came across a mini-herd. More baby ones, hopping around. You're supposed to let them graze in peace and not go too close, but from far away the babies looked pretty cute.
Oh! Most exciting news of the entire trip so far, and I almost forgot! Yesterday, I saw a moose. Up close! It trotted across the highway right in front of my car, at a leisurely pace (but still too fast for me to pull out my stupid camera in time). I think it was a girl: no antlers. It glanced over at me on its way by, then disappeared into these woods:
P.S. A moose! It was not an elk! Sweden gets confused re moose and elk, partly I guess because "moose" translates as "elj" (because I guess moose are called elk in Britain?). Which makes me confused, too. But dang it, I know what I saw. Moose!
Sunday, June 08, 2008
Oh, Swedish beer! How yucky and unbeerlike thou art. Sigh. I bought a can of it at the grocery store (and already the Swedes among you are wailing, "But that's not real beer!" I know, you're supposed to get the good stuff at System Bolaget, but this is regular old Carlsberg 3.5% beer, it should be beer, like I'd have at home, except it has extra flavor of "ew") this afternoon to go with my sandwich for dinner. I'm staying in a pretty little farmhouse in Järvsjö, because I didn't feel like staying in Hudiksvall ("Happy Hudik!" it's called), and because I have a looooong way to drive tomorrow so figured I'd get a head start. I didn't know if this place would be open (turns out it's always open, the guy said, even when he's not around, his neighbors let you in and you leave your money under the pillow in the morning - tooth-fairy honor system) so I stopped for supplies just in case it was going to be a picnic-and-nap-in-the-car night. No worries there. I'm in a big red wooden barnlike house, in a room with one of only two double beds I've ever seen in Sweden (the other is in the room across the hall - usually they're just two teeny beds lined up), with french doors that open onto a little deck that overlooks a wide green river valley dotted with pretty red houses.
Oh, and below the deck there's an immaculate garden surrounded by a tiny red picket fence. Lilacs at the corners. Come on, Sweden. Let up a little.
Yesterday*, in Gävle, which rhymes with a Swedish cussword, for the first time ever I watched the MotoGP while in Europe! (On TV.) It was totally weird. First, I was the ONLY person watching - possibly the only one in all of Sweden; the bar was the only bar in town that seemed to have any televisions at all, which normally would please me. This bar is part of an awful chain called O'Leary's that I tried to eradicate from the previous edition for its pure cheesy obviousness (it would be like reviewing Denny's, except O'Leary'ses are easier to find). But I guess it has its purpose. On the Sunday of the GP race in Mugello, the Gävle O'Leary's opened at 2pm. The race started at 2pm. I waited around the corner until 2:01pm, all casual, then went in, probably looking like I had to pee. The barmaid was sort of mean, but the Hives guitarist in the kitchen understood "motorcycle race" (I don't know the Swedish for race! I know track, but that didn't help), and he knew which channel to put on. I bought a beer and they left me alone. Yeay! But it was odd watching the action without any skreeky boy sound effects around. The silence of the bar made me feel like I had to be quiet, too.
The volume on the TV was up, at least. Hearing the broadcasters in Swedish was funny but sort of disappointing; they never sounded excited about anything. At most, they'd go "oj" (pronounced "oi!" or "oy!" depending) at the really dramatic moments. It took them almost a whole minute to replay Rossi's maneuver into the lead. But there was a better than usual focus on the mid-pack battles. And there was only one commercial break, and all of the commercials in it were motorcycle-related (no Harleys). After the race, you got to see way more of the post-race shenanigans than we normally get. It in fact takes ages for the press conference to come on, because you see everything in real time: riding back to the pits dodging crazed fans, giving and receiving high fives, spraying the champagne, all that. When Rossi and Pedrosa did their mother-tongue speeches, a translater did a voiceover in Swedish. Not as sexy.
* actually a week ago!
OK, now it's Tuesday night. I'm at a hostel in Tänndalen. (I'm not calling them youth hostels anymore. Most people in them are even older than I am. In Swedish they're called "wanderers' homes," which I think sounds nice.) My view through the bedroom window today is almost an exact copy of one of my grandfather's paintings. (A specific one.) Slopy brown hills mottled with leftover snow. In front of that, trees for miles. I think I'm looking at Norway; will check the map later. Since I arrived in Tänndalen, three people have asked me if I was going to Norway, their eyes full of hope and yearning, as if Norway were some mythical beauty forbidden to them. (But they're so close! They could just go!) I'm going eventually, I tell them. (It seemed heartless to admit I'd popped in for five minutes last week.)
Update: Now I'm in Åre. It's a ski-resort town, completely abandoned except for a few dedicated mountain bikers. (This is the kind of mountain biking that requires a dirtbike helmet, knee pads and shinguards; you ride up the ski lift carrying your sturdy little bike, then you ride down at insane speeds on these twisty little tracks full of obstacles like sideways bridges and steeply pitched boulder fields. I've never seen the likes of it before.) Hostel bedroom window has yet another staggering view: trees, mountains, occasional cottages, Icelandic ponies arranged on the green green grass. Today is Sweden's National Day: June 6. It means that on the radio, they play only Swedish music; also, almost everything useful is closed. Same as July 4th in Amurrka, pretty much: listless people sit in their yards on plastic chairs, turning pink, eating and drinking things they never otherwise would, in appalling amounts.
Yesterday was even better. I woke up in Östersund (where the sea monster lives! allegedly) at 7am or so to the sound of inebriated college-aged people dancing in the backs of huge trucks while being driven around the city. It's not something you hear every day, so I had to peek outside and make sure that's what it was. Yep. Traditional Swedish graduation ritual. Loud!
By the time I'd showered and eaten breakfast, dozens of the sad pale creatures were collapsing in little patches of shade from heat exhaustion and too many alcopops. And in bikinis, too!
Anyway. From Åre, I drove to a teensy little hostel in the village of Björkvatten (hard to find on the map - gravel road, etc). This route led me through - yes! - Norway. Instantly, a guy passed me like I was standing still. (He didn't give me the thumbs-up I'm used to getting when this happens. Strange.) The pavement improved, and the house/church dynamic shifted: red church, white houses. Also, SPE, the mountains were definitely cuter.
Photos coming up.
Photos coming up.
Björkvatten's hostel was abandoned when I got there. A note on the door said (I think), "Welcome! Cyclist to Rm 3. Rooms free! Come back later." The grammar eluded me and I couldn't tell if that meant I should come back later or the warden would be coming back later. (On reflection, it clearly meant the warden, but I was tired.) The door was unlocked, which meant I knew I had a place to sleep regardless, so I relaxed, sat at the picnic table on the lawn and read for a while. The cyclist showed up. No warden. Eventually I just picked out a bed; the cyclist reported that the warden showed up at thirteen minutes past one a.m., but I heard nothing. She was there when I woke up, though, so I got the world's tiniest cup of coffee before hitting the road again.
More Norway! This was the most extreme example yet of its superiority: Sweden, gravel road, major potholes, rickety houses. Cross the border, and voila, buttery pavement shaped as if specifically for motorcycles. (I highlighted it on the map!) I actually drove for about 5km down the wrong road just because it was such a perfect road. (Also because I missed the turn.)
Later I went a km or two out of my way to pass through a place called Kyklingvattnet: "chicken water." Mysterious! Saw it on the map and had to investigate. Turned out to be a pair of scraggly-looking houses. No chickens in sight. Hmm.
Also had my first reindeer sighting of the trip! It was right around the Stenenjokk mine, in a landscape that looks totally fake, like some crazy George Lucas planet. (Again, pics coming soon.) The reindeer were a little too far off to photograph, but it was a huge herd, and there were baby ones. Aww.
This is a very Twilight Zone time to be traveling in Sweden. Tourist season doesn't start until Midsummer ("right now everyone is at home in their gardens," one guy told me). Everything I drive past is closed. But it's so warm and sunny out that it's hard to believe nothing is going on. The weather says "summer" but the calendar says "hibernate." If Sweden were a bear it would be very grouchy right now. Meanwhile, museums are closed, roads are under construction, the hostels have dust bunnies. Gangs of snowmobiles loiter in people's yards, totally bored, nothing to do in this weather.
I'm now in a hostel in Saxnäs. Just ate my first hot meal in recent memory, not counting one grillad korv in Ljusdal. (I haven't seen an open grocery store for miles - Swedish miles! - and I ran out of supplies yesterday. Hungry Becky!) Tomorrow: Tärnaby, where the hostel isn't open yet but a new-ish B&B place is waiting for me. Onward!

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
By the spring of 9th grade, I was still sitting on the middle-school quad, awaiting my period or a coveted invitation to Facebook. I had been nursing a girl crush on an older girl since 6th grade, so when she approached my best friend and I to talk about joining the Miss Teen Malibu USA pageant, I desperately wanted to impress with my maturity.
I was a feminist, an aspiring lady of intellectual repute, and steadfast in my convictions (except when it came to oregano joints behind the music room). But then, she sat down. And she laughed. And she said she was doing it as a joke, and wouldn't it be so ironic?
How did she know queen of irony was my greatest ambition?
"I don't know what you're up to later," she said, "but maybe we can go shopping for atrocious dresses, and then this weekend some friends are coming over for a pool party, you should stop by…"
I was sold.
The other girls competing appeared to need little luring. I recognized two from my high school; one had a cameo on "Hannah Montana" and had made the cover of a Nordstrom's Training Bra catalog. Another was on the Varsity Surfing Team. At that point my hair had begun to grow out in a triangle-shaped mound of Jewish curls, and I was combing my bangs over my eyes (which I thought looked pretty sultry, but in reality made me look like a 4'11" prepubescent pine cone). I was the President Polk of the pageant, a dark horse, or maybe just a bad joke.
The pageant required no talent (why bother, when you look this good amiright?). There were three segments: evening gown, fitness (swimsuit) and interview. For evening, I wore a black dress made out of sweat pant material. I was barely passing for 14, so the Goth thing could only help.
I come from an affluent, liberal suburb of LA,which is like a younger, bohemian, black sheep sibling of Beverly Hills. Many in Malibu made bank in the entertainment business and then hermited themselves away in canyon-scaling estates and new-agey beach houses to practice a deeper, more laidback life.
So when Donald Trump's transparently superficial sideshow came to town in the form of a new local beauty pageant, I'm pretty sure everyone was just set against choosing the typical "beauty queen."
Still, when I made top 5 out of 7, I was rising high on seratonin. During the question part of the pageant, I was asked to name five service clubs of Malibu. For some reason, community service when right over my head. I began to contemplate providers of service.
"Every town needs education services, right? We've got some tutoring centers. And we live on the water, so I'm sure we have boating organizations? And I don't know if you've ever read 'Moby Dick,' but the ship becomes a symbol for racial harmony, which is related to yacht clubs, in a way."
Man, I'm shocked no one uploaded that to You tube, I'd surely have more Google hits than Miss Teen North Carolina (#lifegoalz). When I get nervous I start to ramble, and backtrack and giggle, and so I did, getting all flustered and red, which is horrible for me, but a relatively enjoyable experience for an audience. So by the end of what should have been a very basic question, everyone was cracking up at this kid muttering into a microphone in a black sweatpant dress on a high-school stage.
Next up was Brie, who I can describe only as the perfect embodiment of the 21st-century Barbie. Her question was her ideal role model. I was devastated; how did I get the logistical question and she gets the slam-dunk prize? Barbara Boxer, Hilary Clinton, Beyonce, and you're in.
But she froze, and the crowd froze, and the silence caved in until finally someone screamed from the crowd, "Your mom!"
And she went, "Yes. My mom." And that was it really, because she deserved to win, and I was up there like a lingering punch line.
But I made it to top three! Brie and the varsity surfer flanked me on both sides.
For top three, they put you in the "silence box," which means you go backstage and cover your ears while they ask each girl a final question.
"As a young woman, how do you resist peer pressure?"
It was like I soared to the top on Christina Aguilera's wings. "I am beautiful!" I declared. "I know who I am, and I know what I want, and with that comes a very clear understanding of what I don't want. No one can bring me down."
Which was utter bullshit, because my occupation of that stage was completely due to the persuasions of my ultimate girl crush. But the music started, and people threw flowers at me, which I always thought would hurt, but actually felt amazing. Then the announcer said, "Mackenzie Beer, take your first walk as Miss Teen Malibu."
I realized I hadn't done the proper research, because I wasn't sure where exactly to go: offstage? The audience? Is this when I wave? So I did a combination of all three, which was very confusing and finally over, and the director bestowed upon me my prizes, winked and let me know we'd begin extensive training for State toward the end of summer.
Any comic remnant departed my head when that plastic, rhinestone crown dug in, because I gradually began to go pageant crazy. When my friends invited me to go camping in the canyon, I faked sick because I had to work on my walk. Do you know what that entails? Putting high heels on and walking around a room.
I trolled pageant strategy sites, and purchased a pink tulle gown with feathers that flared out like Ursula's eels, a shiny swimsuit with a volleyball of padding that made me an inst-a-C cup.
In the Miss USA system you can pay to compete, even without winning a local title, so my former competitors and I were saddled together once again. I met my roommate for the competition weekend, she hugged me, dropped a pink charm bracelet on my pillow and remarked on the influx of "fat girls" this year.
In Malibu, it may have been cool to be an underdog, but at the ice cream social in the marble ballroom of our Palm Springs hotel, the clear front runners had already bypassed the losers at the to hold court in a tight clique of silk pajamas and pastel hair curlers in the far corner.
The evening of the State Pageant was quite an affair: choreographed dance maneuvers, voice-over speeches, and acrobatic tricks. The evening before, my roommate kissed a gold cross around her neck, and described her gratitude for her faith.
"Surely, you know how conservative the judges are?"
I did not. Did they know I was Jewish? I changed my speech at the last minute to most cheesy and fake tribute to a Lord I never had, and was immediately eliminated.
Since my reign, each Miss Teen Malibu has been about 5'8," PhotoShopped, and tan. Just this year, Brie made first runner up to Miss California. I sometimes wear my sash and relive the glory days, but I am happy to say that my pageant days are long behind me.

The roster of companies interested in acquiring a stake in Hulu is growing. In addition to The Chernin Group (in partnership with Providence Equity), Guggenheim Digital, DirecTV and Time Warner Cable — whose bids were reported on Thursday night and Friday morning — Yahoo, private equity firm KKR and talent agency William Morris Endeavor (in partnership with Silver Lake) have also placed bids, according to AllThingsD and Bloomberg.
AllThingsD reported earlier this month that Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer had met with Hulu executives, but after the company dropped $1.1 billion on Tumblr and another several million for gaming platform PlayerScale earlier this week, it seemed that the company might not go ahead with a bid. But that appears not to be the case — and even after the Tumblr acquisition, Yahoo has around $4 billion in cash to spend.
Bids aren't due until Wednesday, AllThingsD says, so more players may enter the ring before then. What's still unclear is which of Hulu's owners — Comcast, Disney or News Corp — are selling, and how much of the company these bidders are hoping to acquire.

This is a basic HOWTO for setting up a home VOIP system using the excellent FreeSwitch telephony platform and a LinkSys SPA3102 voice gateway. (skip to the HOWTO section if you just want to get on with it)
First of all a quick introduction to FreeSwitch for those who haven't come across it before…
(the following mercilessly wrenched from freeswitch.org)
FreeSWITCH is an open source telephony platform designed to facilitate the creation of voice and chat driven products scaling from a soft-phone up to a soft-switch. It can be used as a simple switching engine, a PBX, a media gateway or a media server to host IVR applications using simple scripts or XML to control the callflow.
We support various communication technologies such as Skype, SIP, H.323, IAX2 and GoogleTalk making it easy to interface with other open source PBX systems such as sipXecs, Call Weaver, Bayonne, YATE or Asterisk.
Okay, so we've established what FreeSwitch does. The one thing it doesnt do is connect you to your BT telephone line, we need a piece of hardware for that. In this case the Cisco LinkSys SPA3102 which again according to the blurb on the Cisco site ….
The SPA3102 Voice Gateway allows automatic routing of local calls from mobile phones and land lines to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service providers, and vice versa.
Why would I want to run a home VOIP system?
Well for one as stated in the product blurb line above you can setup the voice gateway to use a VOIP service provider for making calls from your landlines, this is easy to do and will save you a bunch of cash especially if you regularly make long distance calls.
I have other reasons though some important to me and others just hacks i want to play around with here's a short list
* When I'm working at home I want to be able to make and receive all my landline calls from the softphone I have running on my laptop (I'm using X-Lite) , then i can use my headset which i find most comfortable especially when on long conference calls. Using a softphone on my laptop allows me more freedom to change volume levels which can vary a lot on international conference calls.
* If I'm away from home and with internet access somewhere i want to still be able to answer my home phone.
* I want control of the time of day our phone rings, my daughter Lucy gets put to bed at around 7pm and frequently wakes up when the phone rings in the evening.
* I want control over who rings, with held numbers will go straight to voicemail hopefully cutting out the dreaded sales calls.
* Most of the rest is covered by fun hacks i have in mind
ok discussion over.
(disclaimer this is a UK guide for BT landlines, plus if you break anything don't blame me)
What you'll need
1. a Cisco Linksys SPA3102 (cost £50-£60)
2. An RJ11 socket to BT plug adaptor, Maplins code AR34M
3. An RJ11 plug to BT master socket adaptor with ring capacitor, Maplins code VD36P
4. An ethernet cable
Install FreeSwitch
FreeSwitch needs to be installed on a machine on your home network. You can install it on pretty much any platform Windows,Linux, Mac etc.
Follow the install guide on the FreeSwitch site.
When you have FreeSwitch installed start it up with the default configuration and use a softphone such as X-lite to check the install. In X-lites SIP Acount settings enter the IP address details for the server you installed FreeSwitch on. Use 1001 as the username and 1234 as the password (this is a default account that comes already set up with FreeSwitch), save these settings and X-Lite should register with FreeSwitch. Now dial 3000 on the X-Lite number pad and you should be connected to the default conference call number on your FreeSwitch server.
Setup the Linksys 3102 voice gateway
For this section I mostly refered to Andrew Oakley's excellent setup guide in addition to the FreeSwitch SPA3102 HOWTO however I'm regurgitating bits from both here for the sake of completeness.
Firstly as with Andrews guide i'm assuming you already have a wireless broadband router.
Now get out the instructions that came with your SPA3102, put them in a drawer, do not look at them they are evil and will confuse you (disclaimer – read the safety stuff in there first)
Hooking up all the cabley stuff
Connecting the SPA3102 to your network
Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the SPA3102's ethernet socket.
In a browser go to 192.168.1.1 you should see the SPA3102's web interface, if not check your computer is set to use DHCP to get its ip address.
In Router – WAN Setup change Connection Type to Static IP. Change the Static IP, Netmask, Gateway and Primary DNS to the correct values. For instance, on my networks all computers are 192.168.0.something and the broadband router is 192.168.0.1, so I use 192.168.0.7 as my Static IP, 255.255.255.0 as the netmask, 192.168.0.1 as both the gateway and primary DNS.
click on advanced then WAN Setup again. set Enable WAN Web Server to YES.
Now Submit All Changes.
Unplug the ethernet cable you used and reconnect your computer to your home network.
Use the ethernet cable to connect the SPA's internet port up to a spare ethernet port on your home broadband router.
Now from your browser you should be able to connect to the SPA3102 admin panel by using the static IP address you set. In my case 192.168.0.7
in the SPA web interface Click Admin login – Advanced – Voice – Regional and make the following changes:
Dial tone: 350@-19,440@-22;10(*/0/1+2)
Ring back: 400@-20,450@-20;*(.4/.2/1+2,.4/2/1+2)
Busy tone: 400@-20;10(.375/.375/1)
Reorder tone: 400@-20;10(*/0/1)
SIT 1 tone: 950@-16,1400@-16,1800@-16;20(.330/0/1,.330/0/2,.330/0/3,0/1/0)
MWI dial tone: 350@-19,440@-22;10(.75/.75/1+2)
CWT1 cadence: 30(.1/2)
CWT2 cadence: 30(.25/.25,.25/.25,.25/5)
CWT frequency: 400@-10
Ring 1 cadence: 60(.4/.2,.4/2)
Ring 2 cadence: 60(1/2)
Ring 3 cadence: 60(.25/.25,.25/.25,.25/1.75)
Ring 4 cadence: 60(.4/.8)
Ring 5 cadence: 60(2/4)
Time Zone: GMT
FXS Port Impedance: 370+620||310nF
Caller ID Method: ETSI FSK With PR(UK)
Daylight Saving Rule: start=3/1/7/2:0:0;end=10/1/7/2:0:0;save=1:0:0
now go to admin->advanced->Voice->PSTN and set the following…
Proxy and Registration
Proxy: [FreeSwitch host name or IP]
Subscriber Information
Display Name: PSTN Line
The FreeSwitch user ID
User ID: 1000
The FreeSwitch password for the user
Password: 1234
Dial Plans
If you want a different extension than 1001 to be dialed change it here
Dial Plan 1: (<:1001>S0)
(xx.) basically means dial on the phone line of the SPA3102
Dial Plan 2: (xx.)
VoIP-To-PSTN Gateway Setup
I want incoming VoIP requests to be dialed on the phone line aka: the (xx.) rule
Line 1 VoIP Caller DP: 2
VoIP Caller Default DP: 2
FXO Timer Values (sec)
I read some place to set this to 3 for caller ID to work, but I just wanted it to instantly forward and start ringing ext 1001
PSTN Answer Delay: 0
PSTN-To-VoIP Gateway Setup
set PSTN CID For VoIP CID to Yes so that caller-id is forwarded
FreeSwitch Configuration
FreeSwitch on linux and Mac gets installed under /usr/local/freeswitch by default, im not sure where it goes on Windows so i'll use $FREESWITCH_HOME for examples
Create a file called 00_spa3102.xml in the directory $FREESWITCH_HOME/conf/dialplan/default/
The contents of this file are…
<extension name="To PSTN">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="(.*)">
<action application="bridge" data="sofia/internal/${destination_number}@[IP address of your SPA3102]:5061″ />
Edit the file $FREESWITCH_HOME/conf/directory/default/1000.xml
remove the following lines to ensure the caller id is passed through
<variable name="effective_caller_id_name" value="Extension 1001″/>
<variable name="effective_caller_id_number" value="1001″/>
Now you can start up FreeSwitch with $FREESWITCH_HOME/bin/freeswitch
You should have a softphone such as X-Lite configured with the user 1001 from when you tested your FreeSwitch install earlier.
To test everything is setup correctly dial your house phone from your mobile. The call should come through to X-Lite for you to answer.
Try using X-lite to dial your mobile too, this should also go through.
Next steps
When you have everything working your next steps depend on what you want to acheive. Most of the config you'll need will involve changes to the FreeSwitch dialplan that we created above. A next easy step would be to add a voicemail service, there are examples of doing voice mail amongst many other things on the FreeSwitch Dialplan wiki page

How to choose a long dress color
Decide on the color. Different colors tell people what your personality is, like if you choose a bright red, then people would think you were bold and the centre of attention. If you choose black, sophisticated; blue, confident; pink, fun; purple, bubbly. It's all about what image or mood you want to show. It's also about what color you look flattering in. Some girls look better in blue, some in red. For example, girls with long brown hair and brown eyes might do well to avoid the color yellow. It really depends on your hair color, figure, eye color, face shape, mouth size, and eye size.
Look for special colors. Black and white are classic chromatic options when it comes to special occasions outfits. The first is elegant and mysterious, the latter is romantic and pure.
A red prom dress is perfect if you are looking for a sensual and passionate look, while gold and silver are always a good idea when it comes to party outfits.
Bright prom dresses are modern and eye-catching, but choose only one bright color if you don't want to end up looking like a clown. Or you can always pair a bright purse, jewelry or pair of shoes with a neutral or pastel shade dress.
Shopping for the cheap prom dress
1、Start looking out for the actual dress, now that you know what you want. Ideally, you need to start this stage at around 4 to 5 weeks before the actual event. But, remember, if you see a really nice dress in the window, don't think 'that's the one' and just go in and buy it. You need to shop around because, you might buy that dress and a week later see an even nicer one. Good things come to those who wait but the leftovers to those who procrastinate, so don't leave it too long.
Don't purchase your dress too far in advance, as before big events you can easily lose or gain weight, from stress or something else, such as periods, boyfriend troubles, stress, season (winter versus spring).
2、Try on dresses in a variety of different styles and cuts to find the one that works best for your body. You should already have done the work on the body shape, but here are some additional considerations:
If you have a slim figure, you may look best in a sheath-style dress that shows off your silhouette.
If you are curvy, you may want to consider an A-line dress that will highlight your waist and minimize your hips and thighs.
If you're short and petite, dress shopping may be more challenging; cocktail dresses become full gowns and party dresses become cocktail dresses. However, with plenty of time ahead, you can get these tailored to your size.
If you're looking for a longer dress, look for a short dress that is long on you. It will fit better and will fit you everywhere else without being too long.
3、Choose the dress. Once you have narrowed your choices to one particular prom dress style, try on that style in a variety of different colors and finishes. Although you should already have an idea of the preferred color, it can't help to do a final check for a glamorous shade that brings out color in your face.
When choosing a fabric finish, keep in mind that shinier finishes will tend to show off figure flaws while matte finishes will obscure and diminish undesirable features

Carter Hodgkin particle collision art
Simulated atomic particle collision art by Carter Hodgkin
To me this seems like "corporate art" in that you wouldn't really want it on the wall in your home, but it would look fine on the wall of some business reception area or a setting like that.
Newest 5 Comments
I think it's pretty. Almost floral. If you didn't know the story behind it, you could be forgiven for thinking it was art.
I don't know that its better than fractals, but it sure is a nice alternative to them. It actually reminds me of some of the designs that are coming out on young women's clothing these days...I'd wear it on one of those form fitting chick tees ;)
I think it's beautiful. Better than fractals.
it's funny that you say that it's corporate art, because before I even read your little blurb about that I was thinking about ordering it for my dorm room.
But I guess that's just something that a physics major does...

This is the kind of art that's good for saving to your computer and looking at whenever you want to intrest the mind.

Is there any color on Earth more delicious than Azure Blue? Not in my eyes. This strand of beads are so pretty. The largest round beads are molded with flowers as are the smaller round blue beads. The elongated blue beads are smooth. The small round blue beads are spaced with small clear glass beads. My guess as to age is late 1920s/ 1930s. Wear these on a white blouse or sweater and pow!
DIMENSIONS: 27" long
CONDITION: ready to unwrap, wear and enjoy. Gift worthy
