Low back pain interferes with work, daily activities, and physical
activity. Four out of five adults will experience some level of
low back pain during their lifetime. Take this true/false quiz with
eight questions to see how much you know about low back pain. After
each question, you will find out if your answer is correct or incorrect.
Information regarding ways to prevent and/or manage low back pain
will be provided.
Wear and tear causing changes in the disks of the low back is the
most common cause of low back pain.
Actually, muscle strain or sprain in the low back is the most common
reason for low back pain. The muscles of the lower back provide
the needed strength for daily activities such as standing, walking,
and lifting. Often, low back pain occurs when these muscles are
in poor condition and a forceful movement or overuse causes injury.
Usually low back pain improves within a few days, but if it continues
after 72 hours, you should contact your physician.
Most cases of low back pain are caused by a mild injury and the
pain disappears with home treatment. However, should your low back
pain last several days and continue to be constant and intense,
contact your physician. Symptoms such as weakness, numbness, or
tingling in one or both legs, or symptoms including abdominal pain
or bowel and bladder problems, should be communicated to your physician.
When low back pain begins after minor injury, you may first apply
cold treatment followed by heat treatment.
Experts recommend using cold compresses first after low back injury
to reduce pain, inflammation, and help restore function to the lower
back. A bag of ice, wrapped in a cloth, should be applied several
times until spasm and acute pain subside. At this point, a heat
lamp or heating pad may be used on the lower back for brief periods
(about 20 minutes) to relax muscles and increase blood flow.
Low back pain from injury requires a person to stay in bed without
activity for at least one week.
Lengthy bed rest is not recommended for most people with low back
pain. Experts say that light activity speeds the healing process
and leads to recovery. Any activity that causes the injured back
to hurt more should be stopped, but you should continue to find
activity that is not painful.
Some back problems require medical care by a physician and physical
Your physician may recommend a rehabilitation program in order
to aid you in developing strength in your lower back and abdominal
muscles. Stretching exercises also may increase flexibility. Most
cases of low back pain can be treated without surgery. However,
medical conditions such as a "slipped disk" may require
surgical treatment.
Weight loss, smoking cessation, and a medium-firm mattress may
be on the to-do list for individuals with low back pain.
Carrying too much weight for your frame may be a factor in low
back pain or contribute to back injury. If you are overweight, trimming
down slightly may aid in reducing your low back pain. For smokers,
chemicals in tobacco may cause reduced oxygen levels in your spinal
tissue, thus interfering with the healing process. Regarding a back-healthy
night's sleep, use a medium-firm mattress and pillows for
support, but do not force your neck into a sharp angle.
Pulling heavy objects, rather than pushing, is the best way to
avoid a low back injury.
Actually, the best way to avoid a back injury is to push a heavy
object rather than pull it. Other back-smart moves include:
Strengthening the back through exercise is the leading way to prevent
low back pain and/or injury.
Exercise is the best way to strengthen the lower back. While some
exercises are designed specifically to improve lower back strength,
overall fitness helps improve back strength. Exercise such as walking
or swimming provides physical conditioning required for a healthy
back. Before starting any new exercise program, see your physician
for counseling on the best way to begin.

Turbine wheels are non-directional
Turbine wheels are non-directional
They move air across the car bottom, I believe.
Its for reverse gear.
Seriously though, tires are only rotated front to back but always stay on the same side with radials.
Or maybe you have two left feet.
@ jbunn
The preferred tire rotation pattern is front to rear (same side) and the rear to the front (opposite side). For directional tread rotation pattern, front to rear and rear to front, staying on the same side of the vehicle.
One, two, three, SWITCH!
jbunn is correct. The Model S, at least the Conti performance tires, have directional tread, so rotation is front to rear and viceversa, wheels stay on the same side.
I would prefer that they were directional, namely that they extract air from the bottom of the car
@gianni.terragni, that doesn't really work (much). The bottom of the spinning wheel doesn't actually move at all relative to air (it might even move slower, thanks to pressure difference), while top moves twice as fast as car moves, but the top is quite badly obstructed by all kinds of stuff like suspensions etc so airflow there is pretty much following the car. I think it would be better if the air there should actually stay there so that it doesn't cause turbulence in outside airflow.
For aesthetic reasons I would prefer directional rims too (tires are directional, so rims should be too), at least for summer tires.
The main reason is the aesthetic, as for you. But I like to think that there is also a small, very small downforce at high speeds.
The turbine blades are set to move air in one side and out the other. If you have turbine blades.
I have selected the turbine wheels and this concerns me, so I went and had a close look at the photo gallery on the My Tesla page. In the pictures there they are clearly directional in that all the blades angle into the forward direction (i.e. the opposite sides are mirror images of each other). What makes you say they're non-directional? Were you looking at pictures (which ones?) or an actual car?
Looks like they have changed the tire type at some point. Continental Extremecontact DW is not directional (AFAIK) but the earlier (Yokohama whateveritwas IIRC) that was listed in the page was directional. Or I'm dreaming again.
Based on the reviews in the continental page they seem to wear quite fast.
they're talking about the wheels (rims, blades, hub), not the tire (rubber, treads, etc.)
Every time I go to the Tesla Service Center, you see a good number of folks with the Turbine Wheels in for punctures, or replacements. Apparently, you are getting about 7 to 8k per wheel for tread life. It's why I went for the 19" instead. don't get me wrong, the turbines are gorgeous. I just don't want to spend $2000 a year to replace wheels.
@Brian H, my writing was answer to nickjhowe message which definitely talks about tires. Same thing with mlascano, sagebrushnw and jbunn message. "They" is pretty much just you, gianni.terragni and Geek EV.
Geek EV just managed to submit his message while I was writing mine.
The images in your My Tesla section are computer generated renderings. Might have been a miscommunication between the engineers and the computer artist. It's a significant error that wouldn't have happened in the days of studio photography!
@nickjhowe - Yikes! Doesn't it look "wrong" that way? Does it bother you? I'm guessing not if you never noticed before... On principal, it sounds like it might bother me - I'll have to contact Tesla Ownership and see about changing my order if it does. Time to go locate a real car and take a closer look.
I've just had a closer look at some of the actual photos elsewhere on the site - it doesn't really look wrong like I thought it might. Here's hoping my OCD doesn't get the best of me now that I know it's wrong. :-o
It's not wrong. It's an airflow thing.
@Brian H, what on earth is your background/occupation?
@TINO F, I agree; the right amount of self-acknowledged OCD is a benefit; a tab bit too much is debilitating.
I also assumed they would look correct from either side. I get the air-flow justification; I'm just thankful I cant see them from inside the car while parked!
Sorry, @TINO F, that was meant for @Geek EV.
Small business accounting, and computers. Latterly, online editing.
and don't forget spell checking.
(off topic)
@Brian H, you must have a wide range of clients/industries. Great perspectives.
...and spell-checking.
past tense. Pretty much retired, now.
I had the stock directional wheels on my '94 Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. They were manufactured that way to help cool the brakes. Hopefully in normal circumstances, we'll all be driving with one pedal, regenerating rather than converting forward momentum to heat.
Also, on that Z, the front wheels weren't as wide as the backs. And the tires were direcitonal as well. So tire rotations required exchanging tires but not wheels, independently front & back, and rebalancing each corner.
Using non-directional wheels & tires makes rotations much easier.
As long as while the car is in motion, there's not a significant effect on drag, or cooling the battery pack/inverter/stator, or the climate control heat exchanger, everything should be fine. I doubt there's much effect on any of those.
My 84 corvette had turbine wheels that were designated left and right side. GM said they were designed to cool the brakes and to not get the sides reversed. They also said not to mount aftermarket wheels because the brakes would run hotter. But everyone did, and unless you were on the track. I doubt anyone noticed a difference.
From the corvette forum:
Well, we did an unofficial test at the track. I noticed my buddy's wheels were on backwards and stated they needed to be correct in order for the cooling of the brakes.
He reversed them and had them mounted properly and noticed a huge difference in braking.
The 84-90 were designed to draw air in, where the 91-96 were designed to draw air out.
Sounds like the Tesla Turbines are cosmetic only?
@rwang. I went to local tire store, they called the manufacturer of the tires and said we should get 20-30k out of them with proper inflation.


text: I searched but could not find the answer so here is a thread on the PE400. I just got a 1980 PE400 from a friend to begin a complete restoration. I am totally new to vintage building so can someone please guide me to a good online oem parts source? Also, how would I know if mine is a PE400 or PE400T? The tag on the fork before the VIN # indicates PE400, but I am hoping someone can school me on the differences between the two models so I can be certain to order the correct parts.

A Pew survey released today finds that the number of people who identify themselves as religiously unaffiliated is now 20%, the highest it has ever been and a sharp rise from 15% just five years earlier.
Of course, this does not mean they are atheists or agnostics, whose numbers have shown a more modest rise from 3.7% in 2007 to 5.9% now. Most of the 'nones' say they are 'spiritual' in some way but interestingly about 88% of them say they are not looking for a church to join.
As usual, the young are leading the way, with 32% of those in the 18-29 age group saying they are unaffiliated.
Across the board, in almost all categories, the survey shows a steady decline in religious affiliation and participation in religious activities.

Surely, there's a better way to say "I love you" than with that cliché of Valentine's Day clichés – a heart-shaped box of chocolates?
Indeed, in recent years, chocolate has become one of the great platforms of culinary experimentation – just think of some flavor combinations (chocolate and sea salt, anyone?) that were all but unknown a generation ago. On top of that, chocolate is also a meme of sorts – it's our Valentine's Day cliché, so why not own that fact with a certain wink-wink attitude?
With that in mind, we scoured the chocolate universe for 14 alternatives for Feb. 14. Here's what we found…
A chocolate mustache: If the mustache has become the symbol of our hipster era, a chocolate moustache must be the ultimate in a hipster Valentine's Day statement. Leave it to Target – excuse us, Tarjay – to offer just the very thing (for the reasonable price of $1.99 apiece). Granted, the chocolate in these "mustache lollipops" is not the fancy-schmancy kind, but it's more about the gag than the gourmet aspect. The mustaches come in dark chocolate, milk chocolate and caramel varieties.
Chocolate for your salad? Granted, we don't mind getting a little creative with our salad dressings, but a chocolate vinegar? Actually, Carter & Cavero's dark chocolate vinegar ($10.95-$18.95) is more intended as a dessert sauce – and it indeed adds a nice sweetness and tang to, say, a dish of vanilla ice cream. The New Jersey-based olive-oil company also recommends pairing it with fruits or cheeses. But if it's salad you seek, the company suggests using the chocolate vinegar in tandem with its blood orange-flavored olive oil for a one-of-a-kind vinaigrette.
Chocolate: The novel: Call it cocoa meets chick-lit. Laura Florand's recent chocolate-inspired novels – "The Chocolate Kiss" and "The Chocolate Thief" (both published by Kensington, $14) – detail the chocolate-making scene in Paris and the romance and intrigue that are naturally a part of it. The books also include amusing postscripts – in the case of "The Chocolate Thief," a guide to great chocolate shops in Paris and elsewhere.
Chocolate: The game: New York chocolatier Jacques Torres has turned the sweet stuff into a kind of romantic challenge. On the surface, his "Kissing Game" ($36) looks like a traditional box of quality chocolates (in this case, champagne-infused bonbons). But when you select a chocolate, you'll receive a suggestion – of where (or how) you and your beloved should share a kiss. The directions are fairly playful – "Again and again," "On my eyelid," etc. – but the game does give new meaning to the idea of a chocolate kiss.
Kiss-worthy chocolate: Speaking of chocolate kisses, here's another way to pucker up – with a chocolate lip balm. Eco Lips partnered with Dagoba chocolate on three varieties ($3.49 apiece) – cocoa and raspberry/rosehips, cocoa and peppermint and cocoa and blueberry/lavender. The idea, says Eco Lips, is to take lip care "to the next level."
Chocolate salami: Who says the world of salami is limited to the meaty variety? Not Olympic Provisions, an acclaimed sausage maker based in Portland, Oregon. The company has created a line of chocolate salami – in French, Italian and Spanish styles (a sampler box runs $30-50). Each "sausage" uses chocolate ganache (instead of pork) as the base, and then combines that with flavorings ranging from pumpkin seeds and red wine (in the French version) to candied orange and grappa (in the Italian one). But either way, the result is quite salami-like.
Fear-free chocolate: For those with food allergies or special dietary needs and concerns, Valentine's Day can something of a culinary minefield. Thankfully, a number of companies help make the holiday a fear-free one. Two cases in point: Vermont Nut Free Chocolates offers just that – all things chocolate, from peppermint crunch bark to caramel rose hearts, free of peanuts and tree nuts. And Lucy's has those with gluten issues covered – the company's gluten-free (and peanut and tree nut-free) product line includes chocolate cookies and brownie cakes.
Hot chocolate, er, tea: When it comes to chocolate in liquid form, the winter beverage of choice is usually hot cocoa. But DAVIDsTEA offers several teas flavored with chocolate, including Read My Lips (black tea with chocolate, vanilla, peppermint and red peppercorns) and Chocolate Chili Chai. In fact, the Canada-based tea company has put together a Chocolate Box collection ($29.50) with samples of its chocolate teas.
Plumbing for great chocolate: When you hear the name Kohler, you think plumbing. But the Kohler company of Kohler, Wisc., also makes chocolates. And its take on the classic gooey chocolate-and-caramel treat known as the turtle (Kohler refers to them as the terrapin, a type of turtle) is almost as famous as Kohler kitchen and bath fixtures. Go for a 10-piece terrapin box ($29.95), which includes original, cranberry, java and blackstrap varieties.
When chocolate met Scotch: Liquor-filled chocolates are fairly commonplace. But bonbons infused with the flavors of some of the world's great single-malt Scotches are another thing. Theo, a Seattle chocolatier that champions organic cocoa beans and Fair Trade practices, has created just that. Its four-piece Scotch Box ($11) is a thing of raw, boozy deliciousness – with flavors that range from the smoky (that's Lagavulin Scotch, of course) to the sweet.
Two-cents plain – the chocolate version: Chocolate isn't just for gourmet snobs. How else to explain the fact that even seltzer – aka two-cents plain – now comes in chocolate flavors? Polar Seltzer offers two such varieties in its current winter lineup – a mint-chocolate seltzer and a Boston cream pie one. And this is chocolate without the guilt: The seltzer varieties have zero calories, fat or sugar.
The chocolate bar redefined: These days, the traditional chocolate bar – think Hershey's – has gotten an upscale, full-flavored makeover. Among the gourmet bars we've tried of late that have captured our attention: Swiss chocolatier Lindt has a wasabi bar ($3.85) that manages to deliver just enough of the heat and spice of the Japanese condiment without overwhelming the dark chocolate – in all, a deft and tasty combo. Similarly, Missouri-based craft-style chocolatier Askinosie has a black licorice bar ($9) that makes a sweet, smart case for this unlikely pairing.
A bar of (chocolate) soap: Of course, there's another way to look at chocolate in bar form – namely, as a bar of soap. Actually, YesterYear Soap Company offers what might be called a brick of soap – you slice off what you need as you lather your way through life. And, yes, the company carries a chocolate soap – specifically, a Triple Chocolate Sundae ($22.95) that looks like the densest chocolate fudge you've ever seen, but is surprisingly mild in terms of its chocolate fragrance. The soap comes packaged with a soap cutter and bamboo cutting board.
A chocolate heart – as a cake: The heart-shaped box of chocolates may be a cliché. But what about a heart-shaped chocolate cake? French-born and New York-based pastry chef Francois Payard offers such a treat ($52) – aptly called the Sinfully Decadent cake – layered with mascarpone espresso cream and dark chocolate mousse. And made with love, we naturally assume. Happy Valentine's Day!

Disgraced Lee living on benefits
Disgraced snooker player Stephen Lee is living on benefits after being banned from the sport for match-fixing, a court heard.
Details of Lee's fall from grace came to light after he pleaded guilty to a charge of fraud at Swindon Magistrates Court over the sale of his personal snooker cue.
The court heard Lee, of Birch Gardens, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, agreed to sell his John Parris Ultimate to fan Marco Fai Pak Shek, based in Hong Kong, through Facebook for £1,600.
But despite Mr Shek paying the money into the bank account of Lee's wife, the cue never arrived - and 39-year-old Lee continued to use it.
Lee insisted he had always meant to send the cue but was distracted after becoming "embroiled in a number of difficulties" relating to his professional life.
Earlier this month, Lee was ordered to pay a total of £125,000 in costs after failing in his appeal to overturn a 12-year ban from snooker for match fixing.
The five-time ranking tournament winner and former number world five was handed the ban after a 2013 tribunal found him guilty of fixing seven games in 2008 and 2009.
Today magistrates ordered Lee to pay £1,815 after he entered a guilty plea to the charge of fraud by false representation between July 1 2013 and January 21 this year.
John Fryer, chairman of the bench, told Lee the fine would be deducted from the £133 he receives in benefits every fortnight.
"In arriving at our sentence at this matter, we have taken into account a number of things - your previous good character, you have not appeared before the courts before, and we have given you credit for your early guilty plea," Mr Fryer said.
"We also note that you are on benefits and your income is significantly lower."
Lee was fined £110 for the offence and told to pay Mr Shek £1,600 in compensation, along with £85 prosecution costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
When asked if he could pay the £1,815 fine immediately, Lee replied: "I can't pay that today, no."
Mr Fryer made a collection order for the amount, telling Lee: "If the payments stop, someone will be knocking on your door."
Lee's appeal against his 12-year ban was thrown out by Nicholas Stewart QC earlier this month, with his original costs order also increased from £40,000 to £75,000.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association described his actions as "the worst case of corruption" it had ever seen, while Lee said he was "devastated" by the penalty.
Prosecutor Michelle Hewitt told magistrates Lee offered his personal snooker cue for sale to Mr Shek for £1,600 and agreed for modifications to be made.
"But following the transfer of the funds, the defendant failed to send the snooker cue or make any arrangements for the modifications to be carried out as agreed," Ms Hewitt said.
"When there was no sign of the snooker cue, a report was made to the police. They carried out an investigation and arrested the defendant.
"The defendant was still using the cue as his own personal property."
Following Mr Shek's formal complaint, made to police on January 24 this year, Lee sent the victim an email promising to "personally deliver" the cue to Hong Kong.
The email read: "If you want the cue, you need to drop the charges and I will sign some pictures for you", the court heard.
However, Mr Shek refused to drop the charges and the case against Lee, who has no previous convictions, continued.
Representing Lee, Mark Glendenning said his client had repeatedly apologised to Mr Shek for failing to send the cue.
Mr Glendenning said the sale was arrange through Lee's Facebook page, where he had previously sold items to fans "without incident".
Lee attempted to arrange for work to be carried out on the snooker cue but became distracted with issues in his personal and professional life, he explained.
"Life took over, Mr Lee found himself embroiled in a number of difficulties which have been much publicised in relation to his career and that took a great deal of his time and energy," Mr Glendenning said.
"He accepts in full he should have sent this cue, the difficulty being with his personal life impacting on his professional life.
"There was an intention to send that cue to Hong Kong but things took over and it didn't get there."
Lee, who wore a black t-shirt, black jacket and jeans to court, did not wish to comment to waiting press following the hearing.
However, a message appeared on Stephen Lee's Facebook page stating that he was "gutted".
The message read: "Well the guilty plead was honest as I took the money from a fan and I new (sic) that I had a plan to be out in hong kong in march to meet with him my self and hand the cue over and have a frame with him....."
In reply to a comment of support, he added: "I'm just gutted ......"

In just a short period of time, Jamie Nelson has made a name for herself with the College of Central Florida softball team.
In just a short period of time, Jamie Nelson has made a name for herself with the College of Central Florida softball team.
Nelson was rewarded for her efforts so far this season, as she was named the FCSAA/NJCAA Region 8 Pitcher of the Week.
The freshman from Belleview High has gone 3-2 with a 0.25 ERA.
She has allowed just three runs on eight hits in 28 innings of work.
Nelson has only given up one earned run and has struck out 14.
Her only two losses were in 1-0 games. She concluded last week with a two-hitter in a 6-0 win over Hillsborough.
"Jamie has been pitching lights out for us so far this season and is extremely deserving of pitcher of the week honors for the state," CF coach Kerri Ryskamp said. "Since getting here in August, she has worked hard to continually improve and that hard work is paying off for her. As she gains more and more confidence, we look for her to keep getting better."
MAROTTA NAMED STATE PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Coming into this season, Joe Marotta said he would do anything to help the CF baseball team.
In the early going, Marotta, a sophomore from Port St. Lucie, has done more than his share.
Coming off a 15-strikeout performance in a 2-0 win over Brevard this past Saturday, Marotta earned FCSAA/NJCAA Region 8 Pitcher of the Week.
So far, he has an impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio (12-to-1) and hasn't allowed an earned run.
He's given up just two runs total and was within three strikeouts of tying the single game school record for CF in its win over Brevard.
CF hosts South Florida State on Friday afternoon at 1.
STILL DOMINANT: The CF men's basketball team retained the top spot in the latest FCSAA/NJCAA Region 8 Coaches Poll.
The Patriots took over the top spot last week and received 10 first-place votes and totaled 171 points, one more than No. 2 Northwest Florida State.
By earning 10 first-place votes, CF had more than half the selections for the top-ranked team in the state.
CF won its 16th straight game this past Saturday night in a 92-86 triumph over rival Santa Fe.
A pair of Patriot players received honorable mention in the state player of the week voting.
Eugene McCrory, who set a career-high with 31 points in the win, and Jordan Davis, the first CF player to record a triple-double during the Tim Ryan coaching era, received recognition.
ASCENDING: For the fourth consecutive week, the CF men's basketball team is moving up the national rankings.
The Patriots (23-2, 4-0), owners of the nation's third-longest current winning streak at 16 games, moved up to No. 6 in the NJCAA Top 25 Poll.
CF began its odyssey in the poll four weeks ago at No. 21, before moving up four spots.
From there, the Patriots jumped 10 spots to No. 7, as they made their highest move in the poll since the Ricardo Ratliffe-era.
CF visits Daytona State on Wednesday night.
HUNTER NAMED STATE WOMEN'S PLAYER OF THE WEEK: The driving force behind the resurgence of the CF women's basketball team was rewarded for her efforts Tuesday.
Sarah Hunter, a sophomore point guard out of Cincinnati, earned the FCSAA/NJCAA Region 8 Player of the Week, as she led the Patriots to back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Hunter averaged 26.5 points in two conference wins last week for CF.
Aside from her scoring, Hunter also added 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 steals.
One key element of Hunter's game was that she averaged 21 points per game in the second half of the two victories.
Her 30 points against Santa Fe tied a season-high for a CF women's player, before sophomore forward Katura Harrison scored 31 the following game against Daytona State.

Garland collected his favorite Dodgers
Hershiser, Sharperson among the pitcher's top picks
Jon Garland, a free agent, doesn't yet know which uniform he'll wear for the trading card companies' Spring Training photo shoots next march but, his youth collection featured players from all of the teams that frequently visited Los Angeles to play his hometown Dodgers.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Whom did you collect when you were younger?
Garland: Mostly National League West players. My grandfather, Bill Peralta, had season tickets to Dodgers games. He grew up in downtown L.A. Southern Cal and the Dodgers were his sports teams. San Francisco, San Diego coming in -- those were the teams I saw, and those were players I leaned to, because they're the ones I saw the most.
I probably have some Ozzie Smith cards from his original days with the Padres, but I haven't looked at those cards for 15 years. I used to get stuck on players. Once I got stuck on a player, that was it.
I actually liked playing positions more. Pitching was fun to me. But I liked being involved in the game even more -- hitting, being out on the field making plays. So I got the cards of hitters -- Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell. Will Clark playing first base and his swing -- even though I swing right-handed -- there was still something about it I enjoyed watching. I'm still in awe of that Mitchell bare-handed running catch in the corner. It blows my mind when I see a replay of that now.
My favorite Dodgers I collected were Fernando (Valenzuela), Orel (Hershiser), Brett Butler -- the master bunter -- Steve Sax, Mike Morgan, Mike Scioscia, John Shelby, Mike Sharperson.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Did you appear on Little League cards?
Garland: Yes. It was a picture they made into a makeshift card. I wore glasses then. I wore them all the way through Triple-A.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What was your first Minor League card?
Garland: I believe it was the Rockford Cubbies. That team was owned by the Cubs then. It was a kind of similar uniform to the parent team. Then I was on a Hickory Crawdads card. I have 'em all. I get some Winston-Salem and a lot of Charlotte cards.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What is your favorite big league card?
Garland: I don't know if I really have a favorite. Two or three years back with the White Sox, there was a card that was kind of penciled, like a drawing, not a photo. I liked that. Of course, any cards from the 2005 World Series I'd like.

Roenicke considering options for Cubs doubleheader
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
DENVER -- The Brewers were still unsure Sunday whether they would promote a pitcher or a hitter for Tuesday's doubleheader at Wrigley Field. Major League rules allow clubs to add a 26th man for scheduled doubleheaders.
The decision might not be finalized until after Monday's series opener against the Cubs, because it hinges on the condition of the Brewers' bullpen. Yovani Gallardo will start Game 1 of the twinbill, and right-hander Tyler Thornburg will probably start Game 2 unless he is needed in relief before then.
The Brewers already have one extra arm in the bullpen, leaving manager Ron Roenicke's bench a player short.
"With a four-man bench going into a double-dip, that's not ideal," Roenicke said.
Also under discussion is the condition of some of the team's regulars. Shortstop Jean Segura sat out Sunday's finale in Denver because of a tight right forearm, and Roenicke hinted that Segura could get another game off during the Cubs series. Center fielder Carlos Gomez has been dealing with his own bumps and bruises to both hands and his left shoulder. But he reported to Roenicke on Sunday morning that he is feeling strong, and may be among the regulars who play both games on Tuesday.
Gomez had emerged from a long slump to go 10-for-16 in his last four games entering Sunday.
Segura 'fine,' but sits out Sunday
DENVER -- All-Star shortstop Jean Segura was out of the Brewers' lineup on Sunday, as expected, but he did not need X-rays on the right forearm injury that forced his early exit from the previous night's game.
Segura was struck on the arm by a ball as he swung on an offering from Collin McHugh in the fourth inning on Saturday, and he left the game two innings later after his forearm tightened up.
"He's fine, but I thought about giving him a day [off] somewhere in here," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Today I think worked out well. I really didn't even need to go in and inquire about how he was. I think it's good for him to have a day, and we may do another one."
The Brewers begin a four-game series at Chicago's Wrigley Field on Monday, including a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old Segura leads the Brewers with a .315 average, 57 runs scored and 31 stolen bases. He ranks fourth on the team with six hit by pitches -- a high percentage of which seem to be striking Segura in the hand, wrist or arm.
"It's because he doesn't get out of the way," Roenicke said. "[Carlos] Gomez is the same way. They start their swing -- and I've told them both, on that pitch that's inside, it's not a good pitch to want to swing at. To be able to hit that pitch, you've got to open up early, and it hurts you from all the other stuff. It's really a pitch that, until you get to two strikes, you really shouldn't worry about."
Easier said than done.
"You look at the best hitters in the league, and the best hitters do not hit inside fastballs," Roenicke said. "You can't just keep throwing it there every time, because they're good enough, and they'll cheat and they'll hurt you, but all the good hitters in the game, that's where you have to get them out, is inside [off the plate]. The guys who are really good at it, they don't swing at that."
Last call
• Catcher Jonathan Lucroy's solo home run on Saturday night was his seventh in July, and tied for third most in the Majors for the month behind the Rangers' Adrian Beltre and the Yankees' Alfonso Soriano.
• The Brewers' five stolen bases on Saturday gave them 94 this season, tops in the Majors and on a pace for 148 this season. Last year, the Brewers led the Majors with 158 stolen bases.

There's been a lot of Internet buzz that Kristen Stewart will join the buzz-cut ranks for a movie titled, "An American Girl," in which she would play a Marine.
So is this real or just another Stewart rumor? Gossip Cop can now confirm, via her rep, that it is TRUE!
"An American Girl," to be directed by James Woods, is about a woman who after high school finds herself wasting her life drinking and drugging in a small town in Indiana. During one particular night of boozing, she has sex with a guy in a quarry. "She gets taped doing it on somebody's phone and in a small town," says Woods, "her reputation is ruined and on a drunken whim, she joins the Marines."
Stewart's character sobers up, learns a number of important life lessons as a Marine, and even returns to her hometown, where she rebuilds her life.
Woods, who didn't want anyone else but Stewart for the lead role, adds, "It's a phenomenal story and a slam-dunk Oscar for her." <-- Wait - WHAT?!
Not only is Woods excited about Stewart starring, but her rep told Gossip Cop exclusively, "It is a project that she loves."

I'm happy for her but worried at the same time...can you imagine she shave her head for this movie?? I think that will be my nervous breakdown!!!!ReplyDelete
Good for kristen! This role sounds perfect for her. as for shaving off all her hair....why not? many other actresses have done it. i just hope that the filming for this film starts after the new moon press tour wraps up.ReplyDelete

i root for Kristen no matter what she does...if she wants this role then she can do it...if she does shave her hair off, ill be proud of her for having the courage to. i cant wait to see this movie...Kristen will do an amazing job as usualReplyDelete
TEAM KRISTEN =D ( team jacob)
I don't see why she would shave her head. It's not a requirement in the service. As long as it is kept pinned up above the collar, you can keep it what ever length you want.ReplyDelete

I agree with Lexa, a girl doesnt have to shave their head off when their in the marines/army. I have like 3 friends that are in the marines(girls) and they didnt have to shave their head off but they had to keep it pinned up above the collar.ReplyDelete

OH please don't cut your hair Krisen. For the love of all that is holy. Please. Let it grow. Short hair, no hair, does not suit you! Trust me. No amount of money is worth going bald. Just remember Demi Moore in GI Joe, she went bald and never regained her former popularity. Don't do it! Don't be known as the BALD actress. Kristen, if you read this by any chance, dont do it!ReplyDelete

James Woods is kinda a freak in real life. I wouldn't place any value on what he says. The fact that he says "slam dunk" oscar is just one example of how lame he is. Does he even know what he saying when he says something like that? Then it makes me wonder if Kristen would even be interested in participating in something with someone like him.ReplyDelete
Don't get me wrong people hehe I have nothing against it but we all know Kristen and she takes her role very serious...like Joan Jett? She's really beautiful no matter what but shaving her head is major! hehe just a thought! I'll support her no matter what because she's a great actress! :-)ReplyDelete

Sounds like a great big cliche. Wow how original, shave an actresses head. Reminds me of Britany. I am also sick of drug abusing female characters who find their way in life after a sexual trauma epiphany. And "American Girl" is a trade mark brand name of Movies, books, dolls, clothes,etc for girls.ReplyDelete

Is this the best role Hollywood has to offer her? I guess there have never been any women in the world who have a plan for life and make it work. I hope they have a plan for who this movie is supposed to appeal to cause it sure isn't me. But it does fit about every Oscar requirement.ReplyDelete
Omg! That is so freakin exciting! I cant wait. :)ReplyDelete
Though I think Kristen is a great actress and does the down on your luck, depressed,hates life, cigarette smoking, rocker, grundge-chick, doesn't give a crap, teen angst, roles very well, I would like to see her for once do something completely different from those types of roles. I think she can be versatile but it seems she is being offered the same types of roles and she might be stereotyped into that category. I'd love to see her do something more soft and maybe epic. I think she could be like Wynona Ryder used to be and take roles where she can go from period pieces to contemporary roles. I would love to see her in an epic movie all dressed up and looking feminine and beautiful-kind of like that dream sequence scene where she is running with Edward-I can totally see her doing those types of movies.ReplyDelete
hope she won't shave her head...... ;)ReplyDelete
Will be interesting to see what the time frame on this is.ReplyDelete
I think her next movie is k-11?.After that,who knows.
If Breaking Dawn does not start shooting to this time next year,there would be more than enough time to do both k-11 and american girl before BD filming starts.

URI is part of the core distribution
It's not part of the core perl distribution. It may be part of Activestate's distribution, but that's not the same thing.
We had need of scanning URLs, not generating them. So, I'm embarrased to admin, I completely ignored the generation issue when figuring out a one-line patch and generating the bug report. Generating URLs is more complicated, because you'd need a way to specify whether you're going to emit them into HTML or XHTML. And the W3C recommendation isn't crystal clear on what the rules are. Oh yeah, and tests.
Generating URLs is more complicated, because you'd need a way to specify whether you're going to emit them into HTML or XHTML.
That appears to make no sense whatsoever.
More context. If you're generating a URL to go into HTML, you typically use & to separate paramaters. For XHTML, if you're playing by the rules, you have the option of using & or ;
Surprised me, too, but it's in the W3C recommendation.
But that rule applies to any content you put in XHTML or HTML documents. The fact that it's a URI is a red herring.
Putting entity escaping into the URI processing code is bad distribution of responsibilities. It is the caller's job to put the URI through entity escaping when the output necessitates it.
HTML doesn't require that the amperand (when used to separate key value pairs) be escaped in hrefs; XHTML does.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_12 [w3.org]
Arg. That was supposed to be a preview, and not a post. I'd intended to add that while ensuring correct escape for XHTML is the programmers responsiblity, adding another layer of escaping into the pipeline after URI, rather than having a flavor of URI that knows how to escape for XHMTL, seems to me as thought it's putting the burden into the wrong place.
That makes the least sense yet. If the program is outputting URIs in HTML, it is outputting HTML, and so it has to deal with properly escaping content in other contexts anyway. What differentiates URIs from other content such that piercing the separation of concerns is sensible in their case?
But, like someone else said, the HTML escaping has nothing to do with the fact that it's an URL. Any attribute of a HTML tag ought to be escaped. It is an extra layer on top of the content, but it is not part of the content itself. For example, the content of the attribute bar in the tag <foo bar="a&b"> is "a
Yeah, I agree. It's the impenetrable silence that is a bother. The type of response matters little, as long as there is one.
Heck, even rejecting the bug saying "I don't care, get lost" would be acceptable. At least then I know not to care anymore either and can proceed to evaluate my last-resort options (fork, switch modules, etc) with confidence that such was indeed necessary.

I dont understand why Naruto gets so much hate for getting a little help from ****ing hinata against pain. Also i dont understand why every fight has to have some type of bs about plot no jutsu this and plot no jutsu that and its not just about the main character either!
Fights that get criticized for help in naruto :
Naruto vs Gaara
Sasuke Danzo
Itachi and Sasuke vs Kabuto
Naruto vs Pain
IN other animes, the main character simingly always gets helped but the thing is, in other animes, even in the forums, no one criticizes them!
here are examples
Goku vs Frieza - Piccolo helped Goku charge spirit bomb and gohan distracted frieza while goku came back to life
Gohan vs cell- at the end it was like 10 on 1 and no one ever said anything bout this
goku vs kid buu - vegeta helped him
goku vs vegeta 1- gohan, krillin, yajarobe helped him
goku and vegeta cs metacooler - 2 on 1 fight for the whole fight!
Other animes where the main character gets help is:
Fairy Tail
Sometimes One piece
Rerouni Kenshin (kenshin vs Shishio was huge example!)
Inuyasha (that guy legit never wins without kagome !)
like come on guys, how come other animes dont get hate like this!?
why cant all this hate stop!

What settings are you using? And do you vary the settings during the ride
Thanks fir the help
What settings are you using? And do you vary the settings during the ride
Thanks fir the help
Wow....What bike that has ESA did you hack? What did the sidecar builder (if you had one) tell you to do? What was done to the bike? Front suspension changed? Rear wheel changed?
If you desperately want to continue to use ESA, I would recommend to leave it in "Comfort" and change back and forth between the solo with luggage and the two-up setting, depending on how loaded the rig is.
To be honest, I would put a different shock in that leans itself to sidecar operation - talk to some sidecar builders (Hannigan for example) - and forget about ESA. One of the major advantages of ESA is to be able to adjust the handling when using the cycle as originally intended to: Leaning it into curves.
You have three wheels now, and you manipulate one of them with ESA.
This past winter I moved my Hannigan DS hack from my 2007 R12GS to a 2010 GSA. I picked up the completed rig ten days ago from Claude's shop in PA, and since then have only put 800 miles on it. So take my comments with a grain of salt.
I searched all over New England for a 2010+ GSA without ESA for the reasons EMSimon stated, but in the end the best deal I could find was on a bike with ESA. I figured I'd use it till the shocks were shot, then replace them with a non-ESA Ohlins, Wilbers, Hyperpro etc.
I've been experimenting with the settings and so far the most comfy has been the two up with luggage, set for offroad (the mountain icon). But I was glad to have ESA during a longish stretch on the Interstate when that rhythmic THWAP of the concrete seams became annoying. Flipped it to comfort and it smoothed right out. So while I'm not using ESA as it was intended, I'd respectfully disagree with EMSimon's blanket statement. I think the technology is still a bit new to determine its relative merit with sidecars.
Give me a year and I'll tell you how my opinion morphs after 12k of usage.
'12 R1200GSA for solo rides
'10 R1200GSA with Hannigan dual sport sidecar for rides with Tulliver
Well, except we tend to hug each other like long lost brothers when we meet in some distant place...
'12 R1200GSA for solo rides
'10 R1200GSA with Hannigan dual sport sidecar for rides with Tulliver
Thanks for your reply, I've got a 2009 GS with just a tad over 6K on it. This winter I ordered a M72DX from DMC sidecars. The car itself has electric trim that I'll be able to level the car on the fly depending on the crowning of the road. Additionally I've got a automotive rear wheel for the bike and sidecar
While I was riding the bike itself I utilized the ESA quite a bit in both the solo and two-up mode and never really found it to be lacking.
From what I've read on ESA it was installed to adjust the chassis for the riding style, road conditions, and load.
So you probably are using it correctly as will I
The technology is new, I know some that folks have it and still don't know what it is all about. Just ask a question about it on any of the forum that are out there
In the meantime my sidecar is two miles away, and I've got 3' deep of snow and 100' long to dig out to get to a dry road
Before I can get them connected
Thanks Again
Tell Sarah hello
Well a years has gone by and still riding. I've put close to 4.5K on the rig so far I'm running it in the off-road setting ( large mountain) and alternate between comfy and hard. I drove across the Denali Hwy. the road got pretty rough and I put it in comfy ( it really smoothed out the ride) then took it back to normal and hard depending.
Early this winter
A friend of mine joined me for a ride up to Talkeetna Alaska
I went ahead and bought a new front wheel an put the studs in, it did wonders for control.
A friend of mine came from Whitehorse YT and we drove up to Talkeetna Alaska

Kakash, with kamui.
Gai, 7 and 8 gate.
Hashirama for obvious reasons.
Sasuke, has enough potential with ems and his enton susanoo, to pull off damaging madara.
Orochimaru, that guy has like so many sick jutsus, he should be able to deal some kind of damage, especially with edo tensei.
Kabuto (still has edo tensei right?).
Especially combo's of these people(double team or more than 2 in a team) are able to pull it off.

Margaret Dawson, a new VP of product marketing and cloud evangelism, is the new face of Hewlett-Packard.
She's given to damn the torpedoes, straight-ahead answers, despite being part of an ancient and some would say, stumbling, Silicon Valley company. She gives off an air of certainty where one might expect to find temporizing or irresolution. She even ended a keynote address at Cloud Connect 2013 in Santa Clara, Calif., Thursday with the statement that she recently "joined HP to win," not, she might have added, to become another executive fumbling confused messages.
As if to emphasize the old being replaced by the new, HP chairman Ray Lane, associated with the setbacks that followed the appointment of former CEO Leo Apotheker, resigned moments before Dawson concluded her address. (See our related story on Ray Lane's resignation. ) His move followed an annual meeting two weeks ago in which he and two other board members were opposed for re-election by some factions.
Dawson is cut somewhat from the Meg Whitman style of cloth. In previous jobs, she was used to working directly with the CEO, not only in managing product lines but also in determining an overall marketing message and setting strategy.
When asked in an interview after her keynote what was her responsibility for cloud services at HP, she answered in so many words: all of it. When asked who her team reports to at HP, she said COO Bill Veght, a veteran of the Microsoft effort to enter cloud computing "who's very strategic about cloud." Asked how HP will make headway in cloud services against both startups and established competition, her response is both thorough and determined. HP has "a lot of people who came from MySQL development and Linux communities... We've been involved with OpenStack almost from the beginning," and the company launched its own HP Cloud based on OpenStack infrastructure in three locations, she said.
[Want to learn more about one of the latest implementations of OpenStack, Nebula One? See Nebula One Debuts: OpenStack As Hardware.]
HP's hardware and networking units in the Enterprise Group have a huge stake in seeing HP's converged server and networking architecture succeed as a building block for cloud services, whether public or private. The company's ranks of consultants understand they must convince traditional HP hardware buyers that, if they're building private clouds, to do so with both OpenStack code and HP hardware.
It will be able to do so because "HP will add value and services through the OpenStack platform. We'll drive innovation on top of it," she said.
Dawson said she did her due diligence before joining HP as VP, product marketing and HP Cloud Services evangelist, and was struck by the level of commitment in the ranks. She doesn't disagree with an outsider's comment that HP's message on cloud has left a multi-faceted and not always coherent picture. Within HP, she says, "There's a depth of understanding (of cloud computing) across hardware and software units and across services. I see a lot of value these different groups are bringing to the table."
Asked whether OpenStack will succeed enough to allow these groups to achieve a major share of the cloud market, Dawson looked puzzled for a moment, then responded: "OpenStack is already a viable alternative. It's a perfect platform to support an ecosystem" of third parties, including HP, adding products to it.
"As more and more companies embrace it, my hope is we will drive the entire industry to more openness," she said.
Although Amazon Web Services has an impressive head start, Amazon "is a black box. With OpenStack, IT can say, 'We want to see into this to understand how it's working.' There's nothing that they can't see," said Dawson. There's no comparable way to see into the AWS cloud.
Dawson joins HP from major roles in two small companies, Symform, which built a storage network based on unused disk space on consumers' computers disk drives, and the Hubspan B2B cloud. She previously worked for Microsoft as group product manager for the Internet Security and Acceleration Server, with an engineering team in Israel. She's even done a stint with Amazon.com, opening ecommerce offices for the retail giant in Japan, France and Canada.
Dawson knows that she's back at a large company and that the culture has changed from the do-everything mentality of Symform and Hubspan. The HP Cloud Services unit is going to "need people who have a startup mentality, who can be scrappy, know how to move quickly, do things and ask for forgiveness later because they need to be done," she said. It will also need to understand the needs of other units in the same company and how cloud fits into a larger picture, then elicit support from other units already busy with their own priorities.
"The Cloud Services team has been built to span the startup and big company point of view. That's been a very conscious decision... We all have to be do-ers," she said.
As carrier of the OpenStack flag inside HP, the cloud team will have to find the right measure of advocacy for a major open source code stack, contributions to the code combined with HP proprietary additions on top of it. For Dawson, it will come down to first establishing the need for OpenStack.
"OpenStack is vitally important to the industry ... It's too difficult for companies to integrate and share information. We have to do better around open standards, open APIs, open architecture," she said.
"Amazon is not open," she noted. "If we all continue to play on this proprietary cloud approach, I don't think we'll be doing the customers any service."
"As more and more companies embrace it, my hope is we will drive the entire industry to more openness," she said. "Goodness comes when everything is open."

Report: Chris Christie Is Facing Another Bridge Scandal
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is reportedly ensnared in another bridge-related investigation, this time for the $1.8 billion funding to repair the Pulaski Skyway, which connects Newark and Jersey City. According to the New York Times, a probe launched by the Manhattan district attorney's office and the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating whether Christie's administration misled bond holders to obtain the money for the project. Ironically, this new bridge investigation was spun-off from the ongoing investigation into Bridgegate.
The potential securities law violations, writes the Times, stem from 2010 and 2011 documents wherein Christie's office demands the Port Authority pay for repairs to the Pulaski Skyway—namely using money originally earmarked for a new Hudson River tunnel, a project that was cancelled. But according to the Times, that money couldn't be used for the project:
Again and again, Port Authority lawyers warned against the move: The Pulaski Skyway, they noted, is owned and operated by the state, putting it outside the agency's purview, according to dozens of memos and emails reviewed by investigators and obtained by The New York Times.
But the Christie administration relentlessly lobbied to use the money for the Skyway, with Mr. Christie announcing publicly that the state planned to rely on Port Authority funds even before an agreement was reached. Eventually, the authority justified the Skyway repairs by casting the bridge as an access road to the Lincoln Tunnel, even though they are not directly connected.
Though it would appear that the Port Authority and Christie's office were able to use creative, maybe even deceptive, naming to use the money anyway, possibly to their detriment:
In bond documents describing the Skyway reconstruction and other repairs, the Port Authority has called the projects "Lincoln Tunnel Access Infrastructure Improvements."
The accuracy of this characterization is now a major focus of the investigations, according to several people briefed on the matter. Under a New York State law known as the Martin Act, prosecutors can bring felony charges for intentionally deceiving bond holders, without having to prove any intent to defraud or even establish that any fraud occurred.

~ Jesus loves you ~ Lord bless you ~ Glory to Christ ~
Hey Paul, I had something similar except I was dating one girl and she had 3 roommates in an apt off campus. One Sat night we all decided to stay in due to bad weather. The girls started drinking wine while we were watching an adult movie, which I guess started the "blood to heat up".... two of the girls were dancing with each other, grinding and then kissing... that turned on my gf and she straddled me on the couch and we were getting pretty hot and heavy... the last girl decided to help my gf and we basically got stripped down and it became a 3some then the other 2 girls joined in... I eventually wound up fucking all 4 girls that night. I spent the night with my gf and I was afraid she might be mad the next morning, but she wasn't... said it was a wild crazy time and she had fun... the other 3 also said it was crazy wild and they enjoyed it as well. I never got all 4 at the same time after that, but usually one of them joined my gf and me over the next year. I did have some 1 on 1 sessions with my gf, but her roomies seem to like joining in most of the time.
Nothing better than two handsome young guys fucking you at the same time
When my door sqeaks like that i hit it with WD-40.
Been there, but different outcome. There were 6 of us guys, 8 girls. The other guys left to go to the bar to watch the football games on the big screen tvs. I stayed with the girls because a couple of them looked like they wanted to play... a little more drinking... some girls dancing... they got to kissing each other... it got kinkly with the girls... saw lots of pussy eating ... two of the girls decided I needed to fuck them.... I had a much better time that the other guys, that's for sure
Sort of looks like Rachael Ray! [and yes, I'd fuck and suck little Miss Ray!]
This is sick, obviously trying not to wake her up st points. Just wrong.
Nothing can be greater than a splendid students' tradition to celebrate their exams as nobody can expect into which totally crazy things it can be evolved! This nice company of six rips feels absolutely happy as their exams are over and now they can do everything they dreamt about while preparing for the studies! It's high time to buy as much beer as possible, make themselves comfortable in the warm place and arrange the one of the craziest parties in the world! Three handsome guys and three beautiful gadgets - what else do you need to turn a common kickback into something lewd and really messy? And these people get naughtier and naughtier with every bottle of beer drunk and cigarette smoked!

We were driving by on El Camino and noticed the number of rescue vehicles. Thank you for printing this event and thank goodness the worker didn't seem to be seriously hurt. We would also like to thank the PAFD for the great service they provide.

Sonny - you seem to know something of the facts here - ie when OSHA will be on the site. I would like to talk to OSHA about what I saw on site earlier in the day of the accident. Do you have any idea of how to contact the right person at OSHA or who would know? Thax.

It doesn't come as a big surprise, wherever this Builder(Vance Brown) is involved, accidents will happen due to them pushing the work schedules beyond what is real and acceptable and throwing the safety regulations to the side.

We have worked on many jobs over the years for Vance Brown. They have never asked us to compromise on safety or schedule. They do, however, have high standards of performance for their subcontractors and they reward those companies that meet their standards. They are one of the few General Contractors that we look forward to working for. My prayers are with the injured worker and I am grateful for the excellent firefighters and paramedics who came to his rescue.

The close alliance of the three powerful billionaires Arrillaga and Peery and Stanford exercises a lot of control over our cities, Palo Alto, Stanford and Menlo Park.
Did you notice how the Palo Alto Assistant City Manager promoted the huge, huge, project Stanford plus Arrillaga wanted at 27 University Ave?

Thank you! :)
But how will I know that i've been added ot a usergroup thingy?
When you click User CP, there's Group Memberships at the bottom of left hand-side. Click on that, and again, at the bottom, there's "You're a member of the following groups". You'll see "Gryffindor" there when you're added. Welcome! :)
Hooray! I found the tower!! :)
Dip de dip de dop.... :D
Thank you!:)
What is there to say about the mighty house of Gryffindor that hasn't already been said?
We're a rather diverse group. You've got people like me to people like (Sorry, Katie! You know what I mean!) harrypotterfangirl21. We've got loads of crazy junk going on in our CR, and so much love! And there really aren't as many of us as people think.
Although, I must say, I think more people fudge (no pun intended) their answers to get into Gryffindor than any other house. Please, please don't do this. It'll only end up hurting your forum life more than it helps.
See you around!
-Stubby (With a short message: maybe I'll be back with more.)
Hello all!
*is new and a bit clueless*
I love these forums because you are all really friendly and it is much less cliquey (is that even a word?) than other forums. And I am so proud to be in Gryfindor! I am sorry but we are the best house!
BTW I love random PMs!
hey all oldies and newbies !
just popped in to say GRYFFINDOR ROCKS!
and i'm manu by the way ...
Hi everyone!!
I'm Maria, a proud member of Gryffindor House!
I was absolutely delighted at being sorted as a Gryffie, I was hoping I would be but I wasn't really sure of my result...
I guess I'm a semi-newbie now...sorry it took me so long to post here...
Oldies! All you guys are great you know...*hugs oldies*
Hi! I think this is my first ever post here at Mugglenet.com. To be honest, I haven't really been sure where to start posting at! I just received the results of my Sorting, and I'm a Gryffindor! :D I'm really looking forward to being able to access all the forums that are awaiting me (as of yet, I can't. :(). I really enjoy writing, and I have one HP fic in progress at my own website (one that is for writing in general, whether fan fic or not). I'm sure I'll be introducing myself again in The Great Hall or something, so I won't say too much more here. Just thought I'd take a few moments to tell everyone that I'm looking forward to being an active member here! :D
Hello, Rena!
Welcome to the forums! All of us Gryffies look forward to having you in our wonderful Toaster house! Feel free to PM anyone of us with question, or just random discussions. I know most of us love it. *glares at Katie*
Do I have to have a certain number of posts or something before I gain access to the other stuff that's supposed to be visible once you've been sorted? *is kind of confuzzled*

Hey Everyone,
This is my first post on these forums, and I have to say so far I have loved the sites - especially the walkthroughs. I am pursuing a CS degree from Tufts and cannot wait to get started participating in this forum. Anyway, here is my question:
I set up a server (Win 7, Apache 2.2, PHP5, MySql, Filezilla FTP Srvr) and registered a domain name. After wrestling with it for a while, I finally got everything configured with DNS and the whole 9 yards so that Apache is servicing my domain www.mydomainname.com and serving my Wordpress blog.
Here is the caveat:
The only way to access the FTP server is through the domain name now... Lets say my IP is 184.108.40.206, If I go to ftp://184.108.40.206 the page times out. However, if I go to ftp://mydomainname.com, it connects just fine.
How would I go about it so that my FTP server can respond to requests from the external IP, and not just through requests by domain name?
First, Welcome to SitePoint!
Now, if I understand correctly, you're mixing apples and oranges and getting prune juice.
Are you going this on your WinDoze box? If so, you didn't need to register a domain name, you didn't need to configure a DNS (other than your hosts file and httpd-vhosts.conf for your virtual host) and you certainly don't need an FTP client (you don't want to invite hackers, do you?).
If I guessed wrong, you're being hosted on a shared server (which also infers a shared IP address so you can't access your website via the IP address).
Please clarify whether your "website" is self-hosted or not.
If so, you didn't need to register a domain name, you didn't need to configure a DNS (other than your hosts file and HTTP-vhosts.confor for your virtual host) and you certainly don't need an FTP client. FTP uarname and host and the password site the ip address.
Yes welcom cameronm,
DK accurately describes the scenarios. To understand these a bit differently, if you are hosting on your local network, say your own machine then you currently have this setup to:
Start request in your browser --> Go through Firewall -> Go to public DNS --> Find mydomainname.com (resolves your public I.P.) --> Route back to your firewall --> Route back to the web server on your machine.
What you want is:
Start request in your browser --> Lookup Hosts file (either set in your firewall or in Windows/System32/etc/hosts) --> Route to your web server
In the second scenario you can then add files by using explorer and dropping files in your web directory.
If the server you set-up is on a public server then the ftp may be needed. One of the reasons why connecting to ftp by IP can fail is that when using ftp://188.8.131.52 it assumes that port 21 is being used. However FTP by your host may have been set to a different non-standard port so this could be your issue.
I should clarify a bit more. Sorry about that.
The website is self hosted, by me, on my home server that is on a network where all of the necessary ports are being forwarded correctly. The thing is, I actually WANT two separate groups of people connecting in two different ways. I want it so that regular internet surfers can go to my domain www.example.com regularly, but that people who KNOW about the FTP server would connect via the IP address. The people who will be connecting to my FTP server will have no idea that the domain website has anything to do with the FTP server. The FTP server worked fine before, until I got the domain all set up and now you can only connect to the FTP by actually using the domain name. I guess in sum, I really just want the external IP to be AVAILABLE to connect to specifically via FTP.
In my etc/hosts file, I have www.mydomain.com and my.internal.ip.addressalong with the same but for mydomain.com without the subdomain www.
Any ideas?
I'm typing this on my phone, so please excuse the writing style.
If you ping your public IP, not from your LAN, but from somewhere on the WAN does it resolve? Do you NAT the ftp on port 21?
Not sure how NAT works exactly, although I know it has to do with routing in a way. The ping does resolve when done from elsewhere on the WAN.
UPDATE: It's not just the FTP server that does not resolve by IP (only by domain name), but the web server as well. FTP and HTTP server only accessible via www.mydomain.com and not by IP. Suggestions? I've been pulling my hair out about it but it truly is necessary for my needs.
Hi Cameronm,
Can you please outline what LAN firewall your using and if you can log into the firewall to configure NAT (Forwarding), security, etc...
The local hosts will not have any bearing on if you can connect to http or ftp from the WAN. It really does seem like the issue might lie in the firewall configuration.
First of all - this is awesome. I'm thankful for your guys' help already. SitePoint has really exceeded my expectations across the board. Bigups!
As of current, I have Windows Firewall completely disabled. The only other possible firewall could be in the modem/router. The router that the server is behind isn't actually a router though, it is the Xfinity (Comcast) Wireless Modem (but it also behaves like a switch). The device is standard issue for Comcast and I believe identical to this one: http://gigaom.com/2011/11/21/comcast-broadband-wireless-gateway/
In the actual configuration of that router/modem, I have the ports forwarded (21 and 80) to the server, and even set up the server in the "DMZ."Also, the firewall is set to "low."
Anything else I am missing?
One more thing,
my etc/hosts file looks like this:
192.168.1.2 mydomain.com
192.168.1.2 www.mydomain.com
192.168.1.2 my.ip.add.re.ss.
Any thoughts? This has been driving me up the wall for quite some time now...
Before an Admin whacks you for your bump, please be advised that "bumping" any post is severely frowned upon (forbidden) and will only get you in trouble and eventually banned.
I'm not an expert in these matters but I have several ideas about where the problem exists for you (but not how to resolve it).
Okay, that pretty much exhausts my usefulness.
Well, to be honest I am not sure. I believe Xfinity allows hosting, because like I said it is working fine (both FTP and HTTP servers) when accessed via domain name.
As for the hosts file, I am not sure what you are trying to get at (sorry if it is a simple thing, this is the first time I have tried to do all of this server configuration). I posted above what my hosts file looks like, with mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com fitted with my LAN IP address for the server. Everything I have read about adding to the hosts file indicates that this is the proper way to have it configured.
Finally, the ports I am using are standard- 80 and 21 (and forwarded to my LAN IP in the router config).
Anyone else have any ideas? I would be forever grateful for any suggestions or advice.
Hi cameronm,
Yes, we frown heavily upon bumping threads. Your issues at this point is not clear-cut, therefore those of us reponding are trying to visualize what you have going on, so it may take some time for people to formulate ideas of how to help you.
The being able connect with domain names but not by I.P. is puzzling to me anyway.
The Xfinity Gateway Wireless is a full router; I download the manual an you can see that it replaces the need for a separate router and is really a fancy Access Point/Modem/Firewall/DHCP box. As it is a router, if you want to use a different router then you need to ensure the Xfinity is set into 'bridged mode'.
If I was you, I would not put the Gateway Wireless into bridged mode, I would ensure that I only used the Xfinity as the only router - there is no sense using the extra networking overhead to make use of multiple routers; altough admittedly it is not yet clear to me if you actually have two routers.
I would take the server out of the DMZ. This is a 'drop-your-pants' all ports open mode typically used for game boxes. You need to make use the the Port Forwarding (NAT) and translate you public I.P. to your server's IP. You need to ensure http port 21 and port 80 are forwarded to the correct machines.
In a properly configured basic port-forward scenario like I describe above, it should not matter if you navigate to the server by:
You also need to ensure that the firewall is set to medium security as otherwise your blocking port 21.
You can make the adjustments logging into the Xfinity admin tool. See the user guide that I linked above to see the typical type of settings and warnings.
I am well aware that in theory, the way you outlined is the way the system should behave. That is why I am posting on here
No second router. I thought I explained that above but perhaps not clear enough. I am using the Xfinity one that you downloaded the manual for. It just behaves like a router, modem, and DHCP box like you said. That said, could NAT be the problem?
The ports 21 and 80 are forwarded to my server's LAN IP.
When I remove it from the DMZ, and leave port forwarding with the responsibility of having it accessible it works fine too. Thanks for the tip.
BIG UPDATE: So, finally, and for some mysterious reason (especially because I haven't changed any significant configuration options that I did not document on this thread, I don't believe) the server is now responding to requests by domain name as well as by IP address. However the new caveat: it is only Apache that is responding. For some reason, the FTP server is still not working. When I FTP the domain or IP, I get a login box but it never lets me log in. No error messages, just keeps "connecting" forever. I have Filezilla users set up alright. Is there something I should look into that I might not be aware of?
Again, thank you all for your contributions thus far. If nothing else, the positive vibes of y'all trying to help caused my server to finally come around!
p.s. sorry about the "bump." I honestly didn't know it was poor form. I am brand new to using forums for problem solving and community, and I had only read them in the past and seen bumps, but had no clue that it was considered poor etiquette.
How do you know that port 21 is port forwarded? Are you referring to the port forwarding in the Xfinity? If so, how do you have the ftp ports forward. Specifically do you have your public IP 220.127.116.11 on port 21 --.> forwarded to --> 192.168.2.10 (your server IP) on port 21?
If you have this forwarding set-up then does the ftp have any rules that enforce local network connectivity only?
The reason I'm focussing on the FTP is that if you have the port forwarding set-up correctly and you from the WAN ping 184.108.40.206:21 you should get an reply (providing that ICMP is enabled on the Xfinity). If one connects to the ftp from the WAN using a ftp client like Filezilla what does the session say? Does it connect or does it time out?
I think that the IPs now responding are likely due to the fact that you had the server listed in the DMZ and had NAT port-forwards that route into the local network while the DMZ is outside the local network. Unless you define pinholes between the local network and the DMZ the route would die before getting to the DMZ as the highest security normally takes precedent. By eliminating the server in the DMZ the route now can work.
PS: Thanks for laying out there regarding the bump. It is generally considered poor forum behaviour given that if no one responds in a time-frame you would like, it is your responsibility as an OP to come up with further questions to act as a catalyst for people to either understand or illicit a response. No harm no foul; you've done a good job trying to describe your situation and have demonstrated that you are trying to work through it, so you are doing well
Here is what the port forward settings are inside the Xfinity Router/Modem configuration panel at 192.168.1.1 under Advanced --> port forwarding:
Service Name Type Public Port Private Port Server IP Active FTP TCP/UDP 21 21 192.168.1.2 EDIT XHTTP TCP/UDP 80 80 192.168.1.2 EDIT X
NOTE: I also have port triggering set up for 80 and 21, but whether or not I have those active or not doesn't seem to change anything.
That (above) is how the ports are forwarded. I am not sure about the public IP thing, but it connects to the server fine when you go to http://mydomain.com, or when you go to ftp://mydomain.com. It also works to go to http://188.8.131.52 (my external/public IP), however it does NOT work to go to ftp://18.104.22.168. In fact, I don't even get a FTP login screen, it just times out.
All of the settings on my Filezilla FTP server are default, so I cannot imagine any rules that enforce local network connectivity only.
I think we're close to solving this baby. Thanks again for all of your continued help and support.
Hi Cam,
Have you tried to connect to the ftp using filezilla client rather than through a browser ftp://... ?
I'd like to see the connection attempt that gets logged for every ftp connection that filezilla performs. This may give us a little more info on what is happening to the ftp session.


text: I think the idea of a much more active Mos Eisley is sound, but the execution left a lot to be desired. Like the musical scene in RotJ I feel it somewhat confused the mood of the setting. I'd also put the Jabba scene into this category. Nice idea, poor execution. Could also have done without Fett breaking the fourth wall and looking right down the barrel. A little too cute IMO. For me what didn't work generally falls into two categories; 1) the technology (still) wasn't up to the task (Jabba/Dewbacks) and 2) it altered the tone of the material too much (Greedo shooting first/Vader's "Nooooooooooooooooo!") As I said, the changes I felt worked best were those that were purely effect shots. The Cloud City vistas, the Yavin V establishing shots, etc. etc. Those were improvements in the sense that they enhanced what was already there without detracting from it. It's a fine line though. To this day I'm not sure how I feel about the finale musical number. "Yub-Nub" was hardly a masterpiece and it was nice to get that little montage to add some larger context to what had just happened...but the tone of it just felt off. As for Anakin's force ghost...I can see the logic of it, but I think if that's the way Lucas wanted to go, then he just should have re-shot all of Sebastian Shaw's footage with Christensen. Not that I think he could have pulled it off very well, but at least it'd be consistent.
