Road Trip Itineraries - The Northern Explorer
Journey through the winterless north on the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, covering both east and west coasts, venturing to the tip of NZ in just 10 days!
1 / 2
Auckland to Wellsford
Before leaving Auckland, take time to discover Waiheke Island, enjoying its vineyards, secluded beaches, thriving art community, great walks, restaurants and captivating views back to the city. Or jump on a relaxing Auckland Habour Sailing Experience with Explore taking in the volcanic peaks and city skyline from the best view in town.
Departing Auckland head northwest, with the first stop on your journey being Kumeu, home to many of Auckland's great vineyards and restaurants. A little further north is Woodhill Forest, a mountain biker's paradise and equally as great for those on foot. Driving from Helensville to Wellsford on hilly rural roads, you're afforded amazing views over Kaipara Harbour and surrounding farmland.
Wellsford to Opononi
You'll reconnect with State Highway 1 briefly from Wellsford to Brynderwyn before heading off on State Highway 12, again along the west coast. Just south of Brynderwyn is Kaiwaka, a small village known for its Dutch cheese; that's surely worth a stop!
Once you hit the coastline on State Highway 12, you'll be rewarded with view upon view of beautiful sandy beaches. Baylys Beach, just west of Dargaville, is one such example and a great place to spend the day and the crystal clear Kai Iwi Lakes are great for camping, fishing and hiking.
The Kauri Coast - Waipoua, Mataraua and Waima Forests - are the largest areas of native forest in Northland. Waipoua Forest has some of the largest and oldest living rainforest trees in the world, including Tane Mahuta - 'Lord of the Forest' - New Zealand's largest living Kauri tree, estimated to be 2,000 years old, 51 metres high, with a girth of 13.77 metres! Join Footprints Waipoua for an intimate encounter to learn how these trees are inter-twined with the lives of local Maori and the important role they play in the eco-system that is the Waipoua Forest.
Just to the north, Opononi and the neighbouring settlement of Omapere are a mass of white sandy beaches in the heart of the Hokianga Harbour - great for swimming, fishing and dune surfing on boogie boards. A little slice of laid-back paradise.
Opononi became famous during the summer of 1955/56 for Opo the friendly dolphin. Opo was a wild bottlenose dolphin who started following fishing boats around the harbour after the death of its mother, and would play with beach balls and other objects and even let people make contact with her. People came from all over the country to watch her.
Activities to try:
- Discover the Bay cruise at the Hole in the Rock, Bay of Islands
- Coastal Kayakers, Bay of Islands
The Far North
There are some absolute must-do's when travelling through the Far North, one of these is 90 Mile Beach (Ahipara to Scott Point), which despite being a sandy beach is actually a highway! Sadly you can't drive your rental vehicle on it unfortunately. Interestingly, the beach is only 55 miles long (88km), early missionaries thought it to be a lot longer when they traversed the beach on horseback in 1800s! Grab a boogie board and ride the Te Paki sand dunes. At low tide, dig for Tuatua (a local shellfish delicacy) which sit just below the surface. Ninety Mile Beach is also a great spot for swimming, fishing and spectacular sunsets.
Back on State Highway 1, drive from Kaitaia to Cape Reinga or Te Rerenga Wairua in Maori, meaning "the leaping off place of spirits" (about 1.5 hours drive). You've now reached the very top of New Zealand, marked by a quaint lighthouse, where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean in a swirling collision of oceanic proportions. Five kilometres to the east is Tapotupotu Bay, a great spot for a rest, picnic or camping.
Cape Reinga to Bay of Islands
The east coast of Northland is renowned for its spectacular, unspoilt beaches - Matai Bay, Karikari Peninsula, Doubtless Bay, Taupo Bay, Whangaroa, Matauri Bay and many others. Don't be surprised if you're one of only a few on the beach because there are just so many amazing spaces to choose from! Check out Coca Cola Lake at the end of Ramp Road on Tokerau Beach where the water is the colour of Coca Cola due to the peat that surrounds it. If you're into diving, the Rainbow Warrior (the Greenpeace boat which was sunk in 1985 to form a natural reef), now lies at the Cavalli Islands and is home to amazing marine life. Hungry? Be sure to visit Mangonui for the best fish 'n' chips in New Zealand!
Bay of Islands
The Bay of Islands encompasses 144 islands as well as Kerikeri, Waitangi, Paihia and Russell and is regarded as a 'game fisher's' and boater's paradise. To truly appreciate this enchanting part of the world take it all in from the end of a 1200ft tow line with Flying Kiwi Parasail, or hit the water and explore the islands with the local experts at Coastal Kayakers. A night or two at the luxurious Waterfront Suites, Bay of Islands, part of Heritage Hotels Boutique Selection, is an absolute must and will make exploring the Bay almost effortless.
Waitangi is the birthplace of New Zealand, home to the historic Treaty House where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, marking the beginning of New Zealand as a nation. The historic buildings, treaty house, waka, grounds and surrounding bush walkways are impressive.
Across from Paihia is Russell, the first capital of New Zealand following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, before it was relocated to Auckland. Russell is a quaint township, with a cluster of tourist shops, bars and restaurants and home to the oldest licensed pub in New Zealand - The Duke of Marlborough - dating back to 1827. It's an excellent place to watch the sun go down, or enjoy a picnic on the beach directly below. Whilst in Russell, check out Christ Church, New Zealand's oldest church originally built in 1835 and still serving the community today. You can catch a passenger ferry from Paihia to Russell, or a car ferry further south from Opua.
Activities to try:
- Flying Kiwi Parasail, Bay of Islands Recommended
- Footprints Waipoua, Northland
Kawakawa to Whangarei
Be sure to stop in Kawakawa, famous for toilets, pies and steam engines! Austrian artist Frederick Hundertwasser designed and built the famous Kawakawa toilets in the late 1980's; they're a work of art that attract thousands each year. The creamed paua pies at a local bakery are to die for and you just have to meet Gabriel, the last steam engine of her kind still operating in New Zealand. Less than 30 kilometres from Kawakawa heading west, not far from Kaikohe, are the Ngawha Hot Springs, where you can bathe in hot mud thermal pools. A little further on at Gumdiggers Park near Awanui, see 40,000 -150,000 year old massive buried kauri trees that have been exposed. (You can also reach the hot springs and the Gumdiggers Park from the State Highway 12 route).
Driving south from Kawakawa at Waiomio, take a side road to the Kawiti Glow Worm cave with amazing rock formations and lush rainforest.
Once you arrive in Whangarei, drive east to Whangarei Heads and spend a day at Ocean Beach, a favourite spot for surfies. Tutukaka, a little further on, is a marine wonderland and rated by National Geographic as one of the "top coastal destinations on this planet"! White sandy beaches, snorkelling or diving at Poor Knight's Islands Marine Reserve and the world's largest sea cave, Riko Riko.
Whangarei to Auckland
At this point consider an eastern detour to the spectacular beaches of Langs Beach, Waipu Cove, Mangawhai Heads and others. Matakana is a bustling village servicing neighbouring farmland and the popular holiday spot, Omaha. Saturday mornings there's a flurry of activity at the village market, packed with local produce and artisan delights.

Contemporary Home by WA Design with Views of San Francisco Bay
Strathmoor House is a project envisioned by Berkeley-based studio WA Design and located in the East Bay hills in Berkeley, California, USA. The main objective of the architects was to create a home that would offer a high level of privacy, while ensuring unobstructed views towards San Francisco Bay: "To establish privacy we introduced a curved shell wall, clad with cement board panels, that conforms to the street edge and presents an opaque textural surface. The shell wall is a study of carefully moderated transparency, both acoustic and visual, with minimal windows set on the module of the cement panels.
Envisioned as a space between the buildings, like an exterior plaza, the entry volume organizes the flow through the home. The experience of this "outdoor space" is enhanced and strengthened by building elements that address the space with raw finishes typical of building exteriors. Rough cement plaster, metal siding, stained concrete floors, and galvanized stairs all provide a seamless transition from the streetside entry through to the view side of the home and a two-story window wall opening to the garden. Facing south, this window wall shines daylight into the surrounding spaces and dramatically opens views to the San Francisco Bay". Check out the photos and if you have any comments regarding this project, feel free to express them.

Requesting Account Information
The sponsor, which must be a faculty or staff member, sends a memo requesting a new account. The account must also be approved by the Controller. The Accounting Services office assigns the account number.
The signature sheet for new accounts is given to the sponsor at the time the account is approved by the Controller. The sponsor of each club will be contacted once a year to verify that they are still the sponsor for that organization. If not, they will need to pass on the new sponsor's name at that time. The sponsor MUST sign the signature sheet and officer signatures are optional. Then the sheet must be returned to Sue Woods at campus box 4021.
When the signature sheet is returned with all the required approvals, the account is set up in the accounting database by Accounting Services.
Checks should be made payable to the student organization. Checks should be endorsed with the name of the student organization on the back. Federal Reserve Bank regulations require that the payee's endorsement be made on the back of the check in the first 1 and 1/2 inches from the left end of the check. Checks should be accompanied by an adding machine tape showing the total of the checks being deposited.
Run tapes on the currency. When you have large amounts of coins you should wrap them.
Total your cash and checks on the deposit slip. When you have the deposit ready, take it to Cashiering Services.
Deposit slips may be purchased from the Office Supply section of the Physical Plant and clubs must provide their own coin wrappers.
Deposits should be delivered directly to Cashiering Services at Plumb Hall 104. Campus mail SHOULD NOT BE USED to send deposits to Cashiering Services. A completed deposit slip should accompany the funds.
When the Cashier's Office processes the deposit, a computer printed deposit receipt will be produced. One copy of this receipt will be given to the individual making the deposit and one copy will be retained by the cashier. You should review the printed deposit receipt to verify the accuracy of the information on the deposit. Check and make sure the account number is correct and that the correct amount was deposited to your account.
Anything sold for fundraising is subject to sales tax. The current sales tax rate is 8.3% . This percent can be verified with Cashiering Services.
The purchase price can either include sales tax or the sales tax can be added to the purchase price. Depending upon the practice followed, the formula for calculating the sales tax varies. The sales tax formulas for:
Purchase price times current tax rate equals sales tax
Example #1
Taxable sales of $35.00
Sales of $35.00 x .083=$2.91 sales tax
Total amount collected for item sold is $35.00+$2.91=$37.91
Purchase price divided by 1+current tax rate equals cost of merchandise
Purchase price less cost of merchandise equals sales tax
Example #2
Sales including tax of $50.00
Taxable sales $50.00/1.083=$46.17
Sales of $50.00-$46.17=$3.83 sales tax
The sponsor signature is required for the check requisition to be processed. If a current signature sheet is not on file, the checks will not be processed. An invoice and/or sales receipts must be attached or an explanation of request must be written on the requisition. Payments to an individual must be accompanied by a Social Security Number. Payments made to an individual may be subject to federal and state payroll tax assessments and may be reportable on a Form 1099. If making payment to a vendor and that vendor's FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) is not on file with ESU, the organization may be responsible for obtaining that information.
An original and 1 copy of the check requisition must be turned in for processing to Accounting Services in Plumb Hall 103M.
If the check requisition is given to Accounting Services by 9 AM, the check may be ready by noon or early afternoon. However, allow two days for check processing in case of computer problems. During enrollment, checks are usually not written. The check can be picked up at Cashiering Services.
Remember NO MONEY NO CHECK! If the check written on the account is going to put your account into a deficit position, the check will not be processed.
Accounting Services needs to be contacted for special handling that is needed. Checks that are lost or remain uncashed need to be cancelled. The sponsor needs to contact Sue Woods at extension 5137 to authorize that cancellation. In the case of a check not needed or a duplicate payment, the original check along with a memo signed by the sponsor will need to be sent to Sue Woods at campus box 4021 detailing the action to be taken.
Deposits that are made to the wrong account or incorrect amounts should be reported to Sue Woods at campus box 4021 or extension 5137. Deposits that should have included sales tax, but the sales tax was left off, need to be corrected. The sponsor should provide a signed memo or email to authorize the correction.
Reports are available on line. Contact Sue Woods at extension 5137 for access information.
Discrepancies should be reported to Accounting Services as soon as possible. A memo requesting the change along with the supporting documentation should be turned in to Accounting Services. The memo must be signed by the sponsor.
Account information can be requested by the sponsor or an officer of the student organization.
You must know the account number to obtain information about the account or the balance in the account.
Requests for information can be made by phone, by memo or in person.

Paulus van Drunen (d. 1538)
Paulus van Drunen (Druynen), a goldsmith and an Anabaptist elder and martyr, was burned at the stake for the sake of his faith with three other Anabaptists, Michiel Stevens of Oosterhout, Jan Blok of Ghent, and Adriaen of The Hague, at Vught near 's Hertogenbosch in the Dutch province of North Brabant on 9 September 1538. They had been muzzled before the execution. Two days later four other members of the congregation at 's Hertogenbosch or Vught, of which Paulus van Drunen was the bishop, were put to death; viz., Neelken (the wife of Paulus van Drunen), Jan van Capel, Lysken (the wife of Jan Blok), and Geertken Erasmusdochter, of Maastricht. The source of van Braght's report in the Martyrs' Mirror was "an old writing" from Friesland. The Martyrs' Mirror speaks of 10-17 persons who died as martyrs at Vught at that time. The history has been clarified by Karel Vos in Doopsgezinde Bijdragen (1917).

Hollywood Reporter parts ways with longtime critic Kirk Honeycutt
As a film critic for the Hollywood Reporter, Kirk Honeycutt has by his count reviewed more than 1,000 movies, covering festivals in Cannes, France; Berlin, Toronto, Park City, Utah; and most recently in Busan, South Korea. But after some 20 years writing for the trade newspaper, the veteran journalist has been let go, and will soon leave the paper.
Honeycutt, who also was a film reporter in his roughly 20-year career at the Reporter, most recently was the paper's international film critic, supervising its overseas reviewers. He served on juries in Athens and Hawaii, prior to his jury work in the inaugural Napa Valley festival, where he judged narrative features. The paper's lead film critic is Todd McCarthy, who joined the Reporter last year after he lost his job at Daily Variety.
In reviewing Pedro Almodóvar's "The Skin I Live In," Honeycutt recently wrote, "…like many lab experiments, this melodramatic hybrid makes for an unstable fusion. Only someone as talented as Almodóvar could have mixed such elements without blowing up an entire movie. He was less impressed with Michael Bay's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," writing, "That a huge worldwide audience is primed for this movie hardly needs stating. But the range of those actually enjoying the onslaught of technology at the expense of human drama might be narrower than (director Michael) Bay, Hasbro or Paramount think.
" I loved working at THR but eagerly look forward to my next adventure," Honeycutt said in an email.
Said a spokeswoman for the Reporter: "We appreciate Honeycutt's contributions during our transition and wish him well in his future endeavors."

Future tractor-trailers, school buses, delivery vans, garbage trucks and heavy-duty pickup trucks must do better at the pump under first-ever fuel efficiency rules coming from the Obama administration.
WASHINGTON | Future tractor-trailers, school buses, delivery vans, garbage trucks and heavy-duty pickup trucks must do better at the pump under first-ever fuel efficiency rules coming from the Obama administration.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department are moving ahead with a proposal for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, beginning with those sold in the 2014 model year and into the 2018 model year.
The plan is expected to seek about a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption from long-haul trucks, according to people familiar with the plan. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to speak publicly before the official announcement, expected today.
Overall, the proposal is expected to seek reductions of 10 to 20 percent in fuel consumption and emissions based on the vehicle's size. Large tractor-trailers tend to be driven up to 150,000 miles a year, making them ripe for improved miles per gallon.
The rules will cover big rig tractor-trailers, "vocational trucks" such as garbage trucks and transit and school buses, and work trucks such as heavy-duty versions of the Ford F-Series, Dodge Ram and Chevrolet Silverado.
The White House has pushed for tougher fuel economy standards across the nation's fleet as a way to reduce dependence on oil and cut greenhouse gas emissions tied to global warming.
The fleet of new cars, pickup trucks and SUVs will need to reach 35.5 mpg by 2016, and the government is developing plans for future vehicle models that could push the standards to 47 mpg to 62 mpg by 2025.
Medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks are much less fuel-efficient than conventional automobiles; the fleet of tractor-trailers typically get about 6 mpg to 7 mpg, while work trucks can achieve 10 to 11 mpg. But they still consume about 20 percent of the transportation fuel in the U.S.
Margo Oge, director of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, told reporters last week the proposed rules would be a "win-win situation for the country, the economy, climate change and energy security." She declined to release details.
President Barack Obama was joined by truck manufacturers in the Rose Garden in May when he said the government would release the first-ever proposed standards for greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency for large trucks this year. Obama estimated then that the fuel efficiency of tractor-trailers could be improved by 25 percent using existing technologies.
"This is going to bring down the costs of transporting — for transporting goods, serving businesses and consumers alike," Obama said on May 21, flanked by executives with Daimler Trucks, Volvo, Cummins and Navistar, and trucking industry and union officials.
The improvements in fuel efficiency will come through a combination of more efficient engines, improved aerodynamics and better tires.
Environmental groups have pointed to a National Academy of Sciences report this year that said the trucks could make broad improvements during the decade through existing technologies. The report found that using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could reduce fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020 while hybrid versions of garbage trucks and buses could see a 35 percent cut in fuel use by 2020.
"Whether you are a company or an individual truck owner, you will be saving money on day one because you'll be saving more on fuel than increased loan payments on a big truck," said David Friedman, research director for the clean vehicles program of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

The best subwoofers give consumers that low end from the movie theater that can only be achieved with a dedicated bass channel. They can also fill in the missing bass element in your stereo system — pair a good subwoofer with some good bookshelf speakers, and you'd got the entire audio spectrum covered.
Luckily there are a lot of manufacturers, like Polk Yamaha, and Definitive Technology that make the best subwoofers affordable to consumers. Here is our round-up of the best subwoofers under $500:
The Bass-Heavy Polk Audio PSW505 Subwoofer
The Polk Audio PSW505 subwoofer is equipped with a 12-inch cone and a MDF enclosure with a one-inch baffle. It features a power saving feature that turns the sub on when it recognizes a signal and then shuts it down after 15 minutes of dormancy. This subwoofer also has a volume switch, phase switch, and it magnetically shielded to prevent any placement issues.
The majority of users at Amazon called this one of the best subwoofers, giving it a five star rating. A couple users mentioned that it's not as crisp and accurate at some other models, but many also note that it's quite a subjective aspect. At times it can also lag behind when using certain sources, causing it to cut out, but this is really when it's being overdriven.
The Polk Audio PSW505 Subwoofer is available at Amazon for $250.
The QD-Bass Equipped Yamaha YST-SW315 Digital Pro Series Subwoofer
The Yamaha YST-SW315 Digital Pro Series Subwoofer utilizes a technology called QD-Bass, which gives this subwoofer a down-firing driver and a pyramid-like shape that reverberates the sound off into four different directions when playing a source. This technology is aimed at allowing more placement options for users. This best subwoofer also includes a volume switch, and a power saving option that shuts it off when not playing a source.
Amazon users love this product, giving it a five star rating on average. One buyer wasn't pleased with the location of the power switch being on the back of the cabinet, though keeping it in the power saving mode really prevents users from having to utilize this switch at all. A couple of buyers also mentioned that it's not the most powerful subwoofer on the market in this price range, but the sound quality is superb.
The Yamaha YST-SW315 Digital Pro Series Subwoofer is available at Amazon for $270.
The ProCinema Definitive Technology ProSub 800 Subwoofer
The Definitive Technology ProSub 800 subwoofer has an eight-inch woofer and a roll-off of 40Hz to 150Hz. It also is equipped with a 300 watt amplifier and an overall frequency response of 20Hz – 150Hz. With a weight of 29 pounds, it's a solidly built subwoofer that utilizes an eight-inch infrasonic radiator. This subwoofer also includes the company's BDSS technology that is designed to give users a balanced double surround system.
Buyers love this subwoofer, praising it for its sound quality and crossover. While some users aren't thrilled with the look and design of the cabinet, it doesn't take anything away from the overall boom and response from this subwoofer.
The Definitive Technology ProSub 800 Subwoofer is available at Amazon for $399.
The Heavy Duty Mirage Omni-S8
The Mirage Omni-S8 Subwoofer has an eight-inch woofer and uses Mirage's Ribbed Elliptical Surround feature, which is designed to minimize noise and reverberation. It's equipped with a high pass filter, a phase knob, and a 400-watt amplifier. The Omni-S8 has a frequency range of 27Hz – 120Hz, and features a down-firing driver.
One of the best subwoofers out there, buyer like its sound quality, durability, and power. Many buyers claim that the sound quality is comparable to much higher priced models, and say the customer service at Mirage is unrivaled. Some buyers have also claimed that the subwoofer is so easy to set up that it takes about five minutes and then it's set, not requiring any further tweaking down the line.
The Mirage Omni-S8 Subwoofer is available at Amazon for $370.

Simpson is one of the few inmates who has his own TV, reports The Post's Richard Johnson, so his friends crammed into his 80-square-foot cell to watch. "If you have the money, you can buy a TV at the inmate store and put it in your cell," Simpson's producer friend Norman Pardo said. There was no shortage of potential guests because he's so popular. "He's like the Godfather of the prison now," Pardo said of the one-time NFL great. Meanwhile, Pardo is hoping to sell a movie, "Unpromotable," about his efforts to rehabilitate Simpson's image after he was acquitted of double murder in 1995. "It shows what it's like to promote the most unpromotable man on the planet," Pardo said.

Two blogs have been added to the list of Texas-linked blogs:
ABT UNK by Amanda. Love the name, which comes from abbreviations commonly seen in family trees. Though only a couple of months old, the blog has a strong start with a roster full of Advent Calendar posts.
Moore History – Deep in the Heart of Texas – by Laura Leigh. How could I not be irresistibly drawn in? It's about Texas, it's about Moores. OK, they're not my Moores, but still…. A recent post deals with library resources in Williamson County, Texas. (I'm hoping someone will do the same for Baylor, Dallas, Collin, Hunt, Grayson, and Fannon.)
Looking forward to reading more from these bloggers!

Thanks for the shout-out, Greta! Isn't it interesting that so many of us are researching Moores in Texas! I am too, but I don't think Laura Leigh's - or yours - are mine either.ReplyDelete
Oh, my, that is odd! My Moores came to Texas from SC. At least we can all sympathize with one another on doing research on families with such a common name. Thanks for dropping by!ReplyDelete
Mine (or more accurately, my husband's) are out of Alabama<-Georgia<-Delaware<-Maryland, so probably not the same. Someone has already traced that family back 10 generations.ReplyDelete

ASADA has tabled with AFL chief executive, Gillon McLachlan, a six-month sanction for Essendon players, on the condition they accept they took performance-enhancing substances in 2011-12.
If Essendon wait until the Federal Court's Justice John Middleton brings down his decision in the club's case that a joint AFL/ASADA investigation was unlawful, the offer will be withdrawn.
ASADA is willing to accept Essendon players were doped and duped and therefore qualify for a WADA "no significant fault" discount, taking the standard two-year ban for use of prohibited substances down to 12 months.
ASADA chief executive Ben McDevitt is also willing to apply the 75 per cent discount which applies to all athletes who concede guilt and whose evidence leads to a doping infraction being issued against another person. Essendon players co-operated with ASADA from the first days of the investigation, when the anti-doping body joined the AFL in order to take advantage of its coercive powers. However, the 75 per cent discount applies to the full sentence, meaning it is an 18-month concession on two years, not one year. That is, six months.
NRL players were effectively offered a three-month ban, with their year-long sanction backdated to November, 2013. Ironically, the AFL and its supporters in Canberra precipitated this. The ASADA Act allows for administrative delays in bringing a case to a conclusion to mitigate a sentence. The joint AFL/ASADA investigation, promoted by senior public servants in the government of Julia Gillard, shifted ASADA's already stretched resources away from Sydney to Melbourne, meaning the Cronulla investigation was effectively placed on hold.
The AFL, by bullying ASADA into producing evidence for an interim report to punish the club, coach James Hird and other Essendon staff, drew resources away from the NRL. The co-operation of WADA is mandatory for all discounted bans and McDevitt may have a difficult task convincing the Montreal-based world body to accept the proposed Essendon ban of six months
A level of co-operation with a national anti-doping body is necessary to sustain discounted sanctions. Essendon, by taking ASADA to the Federal Court, could be perceived to being unco-operative, while Cronulla's board ruled out legal action, irrespective of ASADA penalties. While Essendon players were not a party to the action taken by their club and Hird, they were represented by a leading Melbourne barrister, David Grace QC.
Furthermore, club president Paul Little, has persistently claimed Essendon players are not guilty of taking performance-enhancing substances and has aggravated ASADA by saying publicly it will not communicate with him. It is understood ASADA's initial reticence to meet Little was only prior to the issue of show cause notices to 34 past and present Essendon players, where he deemed it would be a conflict of interest.
All that is required under the ASADA Act, for the anti-doping body to issue an infraction notice, is to establish to its satisfaction that evidence of a doping breach took place. It is presumed in the case of Essendon it is the use of the banned thymosin drug.
ASADA has also requested McLachlan issue a life ban against sports scientist Stephen Dank, the architect of the supplements program at Essendon and Cronulla, although the anti-doping body accepts this is the only common link between the two football clubs.
The Essendon campaign extended over a full year, with multiple injections where, despite the magisterial authority of Hird, players could have been expected to ask after say the fifth needle what were the substances and why was the operation conducted off site and requiring signed informed consent forms.
By contrast, the Cronulla drugs regime was brief and ad hoc, administered after the captain's run final training session, from a corporate box at the club's home ground, with supplements stored amateurishly in an esky. The Cronulla club doctor quickly banned all injections and the program quickly reverted to use of creams and lozenges.
It is anticipated a three-month ban of past and present Cronulla players, where only five (one who has already announced his retirement) remain at the club, will be more palatable to NRL clubs than if the same punishment was applied to Essendon, where more than 20 players remain. Rival AFL clubs will contend the damage done to the AFL brand is greater in Melbourne where the code takes on the status of a civic religion. Essendon, in line for a position in the 2014 semi finals, have major issues to confront in terms of the date a six-month ban begins.

I am finally getting these pictures up of the girls we took over a month ago... I spaced it actually.... Anyhoo aren't these darling girls?!! I just love them so much and was glad I found outfits I wanted them to wear without going out to buy a new outfits for the pictures. We aren't exactly rich and have been on "college student" status earnings. I was also able to get baby pictures with Taylor for FREE! My friend's friend is starting a website for babies and I was asked to be a model for the site! How exciting! Its nothing big really but I had fun! They will go on The Mommy Brand site (not yet running but soon). My mom will be selling car seat canopies, ties for boys and cute dresses for girls. I will post the link once the site is up and running.
This last week we took an afternoon trip to Canandaigua and did window shopping without actually buying anything. We had fun walking around enjoying the nice sunny weather. It was also Brooklyn's last week of preschool for her 3's class. The parents got to go for the last day and be presented with memory books. The memory books are amazing! I was not expecting that at all and now I have pictures of Brooklyn during her whole school year in preschool! She has learned a lot and has had lots of fun. Earlier in the week the class had a swimming day and Brooklyn had so much fun with the big bubbles they had there. I can't believe she will be in the 4's class in the fall!
Sixteen years ago I totally biffed while rollerblading down the Alpine Cemetery near my home (on the sabbath and never again rollerbladed on the sabbath, hahaha). It was actually pretty hilarious and my friends couldn't stop laughing. Well.... I had never fallen again until Saturday morning! Matt and I were both pushing a stroller (each) while rollerblading. Because the stroller kept veering to the right I went with it and rolled the stroller into the bushes on the Erie Canal! I rolled with the stroller and got stuck underneath it...laughing! Brooklyn wasn't hurt thankfully but she cried because it scared her. I got some scratches but nothing like the cemetery hill incident! Hahahaha It was actually so funny and Matt couldn't stop laughing! I wish we had brought the camera but you'll have to envision for yourself how we must have looked after the fall. Of course I was embarrassed as people stopped to help and I pretty much send them on their way... nicely of course! It was a good time nevertheless!
Matt is now in California with a couple of his friends (coaches at the U of R). He got a free trip (thanks to Greg!) to California and so they decided to go see the Angels and Airwaves band. They have been visiting all the different beaches and just hanging out having fun! I miss him lots but I am glad he was able to go!
Enjoy the pictures!
As I was posting this blog, Brooklyn who was supposed to be in bed came downstairs and said, "Mom, I have a gift for you...." I replied, "What gift?" She sweetly said, "Its LOVE". My heart just melted and she came to me and gave me a great big hug... I sure love this sweet angel. She has been telling me the past few days, "Mom, you're the best mommy in the whole wide world!" aaahhhssss... need I say more...
I love this.... I have several pictures of Brooklyn giving baby Taylor a kiss on the top of her head...
My little ballerinas!
Sweet Angel
She is so full of life and energy!
What a model!
Sisters make the best friends!
We are headed to Utah on June 16th! Brooklyn wanted to create another count down chain. She decided she wanted to do a caterpillar!
Last day of 3's preschool. I love the memory book! She did so well and I just love her!
Brooklyn has been playing in her swimsuit, longing for the day for the pool to open! It finally opened over the weekend! We went today and she had a blast! I will post pictures soon.
Brooklyn loves it when we babysit her friends! This is Bella and she comes from such a cute family! She has an older sister Avery who was on a date with her cool mom, rock climbing! I need to be more like Janette! The girls were having so much fun chilling with Matt as he was making them laugh!
Searching for bugs!
Both giving me the evil eye...
A small music shop in Canandaigua (Canandaigua is one of the five finger lakes and is such a beautiful town) of course we had to stop in a look around! Matt is doing well with practicing his bass. He just loves it and practices when he can. He feels lucky that I am deaf and don't tell him to turn it down all the time! haha I love that he is learning something new.
Balancing on the railroad tracks. Brooklyn is pretty good at it!
On our way home we stopped for a vanilla cone at McDonalds. Brooklyn has been having so much fun and in return she gets so tired! She fell asleep with the cone in her hand!
Sweet girl, she has been having so much fun!

Although blogs and newspapers alike have oft posthumously placed a familiar quotation pertaining to compound interest — it being the most powerful force in the universe or man's greatest invention — in the mouth of Albert Einstein, there is no evidence he ever said such a thing. He might have; the sentiment matches what seems to be this particular genius's sense of humor.
Whether he said these words or something similar is relevant only to purists who say serious journalists shouldn't attribute quotes willy-nilly to emphasize their importance. It doesn't change the fact that compound interest should be on the mind of anyone looking to build wealth over time.
Albert Einstein was arguably one of the most brilliant thinkers in the twentieth century. His contributions to physics are well documented. Although being a genius in one genre doesn't guarantee illumination is all other areas of thought, observers can adapt Einstein's philosophies of life and his personality traits into better approaches to money management and life in general. Einstein might have more to offer today's thinking saver than just compound interest.
Albert Einstein was a bit of a rebel. He didn't like the militaristic nature of his schools, where pupils were not encouraged to ask questions, and learning was affected through rote memorization. The young Einstein had no interest in this type of training to blindly worship authority. He believed that humans were given brains so they could do much more than trust received knowledge unquestioningly.
Skepticism is just as important today. Authority figures, like professors who lecture without open discussion and politicians, don't always deserve to be trusted. And from a consumer perspective, we have to resist the temptation to consider salespeople authority figures or experts. Salespeople can cleverly disguise themselves as advisers, and skepticism helps protect people from making poor financial decisions.
Einstein's skepticism and desire to avoid conforming prevented him from getting deeply involved in politics for most of his life. Regarding politics, he said, admitting there is at least one aspect of life beyond his kin, "How an intelligent man can subscribe to a party I find a complete mystery."
Non-conformity also helps in investing. There's often a trend to follow the herd — to buy stocks when it seems like everyone is buying and to sell stocks when it seems like everyone else is selling. Being a non-conformist, investing against the grain, can help investors buy low and sell high. That's the only way to be profitable in the stock market.
The danger of turning to Albert Einstein for insight into how to live one's life is that it's putting him on a pedestal. Based on my reading of his life, mainly from his biography written by Walter Isaacson, he probably would not like to be looked at as a role model. That isn't to say he didn't like attention, as he grew accustomed to the fame he achieved after his theory of special relativity grew in popularity and acceptance. But when he first saw his fifteen minutes, he lamented:
The cult of individual personalities is always, in my view, unjustified… It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them…
It seems Einstein would not be too happy with the way people revere the most popular financial gurus. Fans of gurus will continue to stand up for their heroes despite displays of lack of character and lack of sense. Fans are invested in their heroes; to admit their guru isn't perfect is to admit they wasted time, money, and energy. A superfan perceives an attack on Robert Kioysaki's business practices or a criticism of his sales techniques as an attack on the man and his following. A criticism of Dave Ramsey's approach to financial advice is dismissed without consideration; after all, he's the successful author.
I believe that while Einstein would appreciate the success of popular seminar leaders, radio show hosts, and authors, he wouldn't think highly of those who follow advice without every questioning the concepts on which their philosophies are founded or their intentions.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
Einstein didn't learn about special relativity in school. His breakthrough in the understanding of the physical universe came from his ability to imagine how the world might work, and then ask himself questions and solve problems to determine which theories could be tested. For the most part, he let other scientists worry about the testing part, giving himself room for his thoughts to consider the world in ways no one had considered it previously.
Despite his initial problems with the regimented style of school, Einstein strongly valued the cognitive skills he gained from his later studies. He cited a good college education with providing the type of cognitive skills that allows people to think for themselves and imagine possibilities that have never been imagined. "The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think," Einstein was quoted in the New York Times in 1921.
For Einstein, advanced education is not job training, but training to perform at high levels in any situation, job or otherwise. This agrees with my view on education, with its worth being measured in more than just financial return on investment. Would Einstein feel the same way now, with a college education costing several multiples more than it did in his time, even after taking inflation into account? He clearly sees the importance of cognitive ability and education for growing human capital, which has a positive effect on options for long-term wealth.
Moving to the United States and becoming a citizen of the country was important to Einstein. He saw this nation as a place of freedom and tolerance. He loved the idea that he and others could question authority without fear of reprisal. Einstein also enjoyed the lack of a class system as was prevalent throughout Europe. America provided the opportunity for any individual to succeed.
At the same time, Einstein recognized his moral obligation, and that of his fellow human beings, to contribute to the world around him. Because the individual had so much freedom to build wealth, he also had the responsibility to live in such a way that all of humanity would benefit. Einstein often put his own selfish desires aside when he had the opportunity to encourage human progress. He offered this advice to his relatives: "Use for yourself little, but give to others much."
With this philosophy, Einstein would have embraced frugality. Despite his world travels and, especially later in his life, his ability to command top salaries and fees, he maintained modest living environments. I can't find any information on Einstein's approach to charitable giving, but it's clear that he cared about the world, and he was passionate about some causes, particularly later in his life, and there is a strong chance he supported these causes with the money he collected from his work over the years.
There is no question that Einstein enjoyed the personal freedom to succeed in the United States afforded by the country's capitalist underpinnings. He was prescient, or perhaps just observant, when he noted that "unrestrained capitalism produced great disparities of wealth, cycles of boom and depression, and festering levels of unemployment." In 1949, when Einstein wrote this opinion piece, he could have been describing the most recent global recession, which, as the media won't let us forget, feature record levels of unemployment and increased disparities of wealth.
Albert Einstein definitely leaned towards the socialist end of the economic spectrum, but he always emphasized the important of individual freedom, democracy, and personal liberty. He was not a fan of communism in Russia, nor was he a supporter of German fascism or nationalism. The United States was politically the best environment for him, particularly with his belief that art and science relied on the availability and encouragement of individualism.
From an economic perspective, he seems to have thought there was danger in allowing capitalism to rule completely free from restraint, and he did not like the way that wealthy individuals could use their contributions to sway the direction of political parties.
What we can appreciate from Einstein's philosophy is that society is as important as the individual, and individuals, particularly those who are successful, can help society to a greater extent without sacrificing their success. Also, regulations free from corruption help guide capitalism so that opportunities are available for more citizens.
This economic philosophy doesn't have a direct relationship with money management, but I thought it was interesting to note. Because of individual freedom, cherished by Einstein, we are able to build wealth for ourselves. In some countries, if our parents were poor servants, we'd be poor servants, too, without any economic mobility. We wouldn't be able to build wealth.
Being thankful for these opportunities is certainly one reason not to throw it away by making bad decisions with money. It may be difficult, but financial independence is within reach for anyone who wants it although there can be unavoidable external situations making it more difficult or impossible for some. But for at least those reading Consumerism Commentary, there should be enough opportunity to move towards financial independence.

Everything Happens to Me
by Kenny Werner
Everything Happens to Me Lyrics
Song Meaning
Verse 1
Black cats creep across my path
Until I'm almost mad
I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
Cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains
Verse 2
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measles and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Verse 3
Everything happens to me
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I send an "Airmail Special" too
Your answer was "Goodbye"
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you
Verse 4
Everything happens to me

Sorry to all people reading that this article wasn't posted earlier. I have been under the weather the past week and between school and rest I wasn't able to get on here and write any blogs.
On Tuesday night, the Knicks blew out the Pistons 113-86. The offense was flawless in the first half and the Knicks led by 12 at halftime. Carmelo Anthony and Landry Fields led the Knicks to victory with 25 points and 18 points respectively.
Here are some notes from the game:
- Landry Fields had his best game of the season. He played literally a flawless first half as he was 6/6 from the field (no pun intended) at halftime. He finished the game 7/10 including 4/6 from outside the arc. This is a great sign as Fields' 3 point shooting has been abysmal this season. Over the last 5 games, Fields has shot 43% from outside the arc and has averaged 12.6 points a game. He seems to be playing more comfortably within the offense as well as more confidently.
- Speaking of playing within the offense, Melo had an efficient 25 point performance. He wasn't 10/30 or 9/27 like in games past. He shot 9/14 and 2/3 from beyond the arc. I understand that Detroit was the opponent and they are awful but I definitely have noticed a concentrated effort by Melo to play within the offense. This does not mean that the Knicks cannot run isolation plays to Melo but every time he gets the ball he doesn't need to shoot. I liked how he played on Tuesday. When he had a mismatch, he attacked the rim. I thought he did a nice job of moving the ball. He is skilled enough in spot up situations to not always need isolations to get him going. His first shot of the game was a spot up 3 that he hit. There are ways for him to get his points without screwing up the flow and execution of the offense and I think slowly he is learning that. He will not play like this all the time right away but I think in time he can make this his game. If you watch OKC, Durant doesn't stop the ball. LeBron moves the ball. Dirk moves the ball. Melo does not need to be a ball stopper. I think when Baron Davis comes back the flow of the offense will improve and the Knicks will be able to get Melo some more spot up shots in the offense. I really like his spot up ability and I think he can continue to play like this.
- Amar'e still cannot get going. He was 5/11 and scoring 15 points. I didn't think Stoudemire played poorly but he has yet to have a dominant break out game. It is quite disheartening to see Stoudemire struggling offensively, especially given how great he was last season. He only hit 1/4 from mid-range on Tuesday and still cannot get his jumper going. I thought his shot looked good in Houston on Saturday but it was ineffective on Tuesday. He still does not look explosive to me. It is pretty clear that he still hasn't found his legs but on the bright side I do this he's getting closer. He did not get going Tuesday but over the last few games, Stoudemire has looked a little bit more explosive. I think he's emphasizing getting to the rim on offense and I think thats the right way to go. Until he gets his mid-range game going, Stoudemire needs to find the way to impact the game in other ways and I think he can do that getting to the hoop.
- Bill Walker had 5 fouls in 15 minutes… yikes
- Walker and Renaldo Balkman literally are the best garbage time players in the league. Balkman, who looked like a weird gremlin with a pony tail, was 3/3 in 6 minutes and Walker hit some shots as well.
- Sorry for the short/really late post. I am feeling much better and will writing posts longer and on time now that I'm finally healthy.

Historical Information about Sedgwick County
Sedgwick County was created April 9th, 1889 from the northeastern corner of Logan County. It was named for General John Sedgwick. The route of the Leavenworth and Pikes Peak Express, the first regular stagecoach service to be established leading to the Colorado gold camps, entered the state in what is now Sedgwick County. One of the stations on this route was Julesburg, named in honor of Jules Beni, a French fur trader. For about 6 months in 1867, Julesburg was the western terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad (and had quite a reputation as a wide-open, rip-roaring, wild-west town). The present town of Julesburg was laid out July 2, 1884 by the Union Pacific Railroad Company and incorporated in 1886.
Correction to the above information.
The original route of the L. & P. P. Ex. entered Colorado along the south side of the Republican River in Yuma County. The first stage arrived in Denver on May 7, 1859 and the last on that route arrived on June 7, 1859, when the route was relocated to the Platte River [Julesburg] route. The first stage on the Platte River route arrived in Denver on July 7, 1859.
In October, 1860 the stage line was renamed "The Central Overland and Pikes Peak" and continued over the Platte River route. In February, 1862 the line was sold to Ben Holliday who ran it under the C. O. C. & P. P. name and later changed the name to Holliday's California Express. Sometime in the later 1860s Holliday was bought out by Wells Fargo.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was snowing outside the Eblen Center Monday night as the Lipscomb Bisons arrived for their game against Tennessee Tech.
Unfortunately the cold weather converted into a chilly start for the Bisons.
The Bisons found themselves chasing the Golden Eagles for the majority of the game eventually falling 78-71.
Tennessee Tech went on a 6-0 run to give themselves 16-6 lead just shy of six minutes into the game.
"With the way we started we got behind," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "They got easy baskets and they didn't have to work for baskets in the first ten minutes of the game because they were getting them in transition and on stick backs."
The Golden Eagles and Bisons fought almost basket for basket until the Golden Eagles expanded their lead to 13 with 3:48 remaining in the first.
Sanderson then called a timeout that changed the flow of the game.
The Bisons responded on a 13-0 run out of the timeout to tie the game with 1:16 remaining in the first.
Sophomore forward Brandon Brown started the run with a layup. Senior guard Michael Lusk nailed Lipscomb's first and only three-pointer of the night on the next possession.
Sophomore forward Michael Teller hit a jumper on a second chance opportunity to cut Tech's lead to six. Teller also connected on a jumper on the next possession.
Josh Slater went to the free throw line and connected two free throws following a technical foul on Tech's Daniel Northern.
Teller tied the game on the next possession with a jumper.
Tennessee Tech iced the Bisons run with a three-pointer by Kevin Murphy with 50 seconds remaining in the first half to give Tech a 32-29 lead going into the intermission.
Tennessee Tech maintained a slight advantage throughout the first ten minutes of the second half until sophomore center Adnan Hodzic connected on a reverse layup to give the Bisons their first advantage with 9:49 remaining.
"In the first part of the second half, we were scoring at will, but so were they," said Sanderson. "When we got our offense clicking, then all of a sudden we have to clamp down on them, but we didn't do that."
Hodzic, who did not play in the first game this year against Tennessee Tech, scored a season-high 21 points.
Lipscomb expanded its lead to three points on two free throws by sophomore guard Jimmy Oden.
"When we get up, we have two bad turnovers back-to-back that went to easy buckets for them," said Sanderson. "Those kinds of plays in these kinds of games are back breakers."
Shooting the bonus at the free throw line from early in the second period, Tennessee Tech was able to pull away from the Bisons connecting on 15 free throws in the second period with 14 of those made in the final five minutes.
Oden finished the game with 15 while Brown added 14.
Lipscomb out-rebounded Tennessee Tech 41-39. The Bisons have grabbed more boards than their opponents in each game this season.
Hodzic and Brown brought down nine rebounds each. Senior forward Thomas Pfaff had six rebounds.
Lipscomb shot 42.6 percent from the field while Tennessee Tech connected on 47.5 percent of their shots.
Lipscomb was 1-of-13 from behind the three-point line for 7.7 percent.
"When we are 1-for-13 we have to have someone step up and make some shots," said Sanderson.
Tennessee Tech was 5-of-15 from beyond the arc for 33.3 percent.
Slater, Brown, and Oden had three steals apiece.
Slater was credited with five assists.
Tennessee Tech blocked ten shots. Daniel Northern blocked a game-high six shots.
Lipscomb falls to 2-3 on the year while Tennessee Tech improves to 5-1.
The Bisons travel to Jacksonville, Fla., this weekend for a conference road trip. Lipscomb plays North Florida Thursday at 6:45 p.m. and Jacksonville Saturday at 2:15 p.m.
Jonathan Seamon and Benjamin Seamon, will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network. Free online audio streaming is available at www.LipscombSports.com/sportsnetwork/.

Follow up after brachytherapy (interstitial radiation therapy) for prostate cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My father has undergone brachytherapy (interstitial radiation therapy) in combination with Lupron 5 months ago. We can find no information about the proper screening program to monitor for tumor recurrence. Is monitoring of PSA a useful modality? Should CT/MRI be done regularly? Thank you!
Alan J. Wein, MD, Professor and chair of the Division of Urology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Chief of Urology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Your father's treating radiation oncologist should issue follow up instructions after his brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
PSA monitoring is useful. In general, a periodic PSA should be done every 3 months after brachytherapy. It is not unusual for the PSA to rise and fall over the course of one year following treatment. At one year, the PSA should be less than 2.0 ng/ml. The patient should also be monitored for urinary obstructive symptoms, which can occur just after interstitial radiation therapy. CT/MRI is not generally done unless there is a specific problem.

Uncomplicated Firewall
Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) is a simple frontend for iptables that is designed to be easy to use.
Template:Package Official can be installed from the [community] repository.
You need to include ufw in your DAEMONS array in rc.conf, ideally before bringing up your network interfaces.
Basic Configuration
A very simplistic configuration which will deny all by default, allow any protocol from inside a 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 LAN, and allow incoming Deluge and SSH traffic from anywhere:
# ufw default deny # ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 # ufw allow Deluge # ufw allow SSH
The next line is only needed once the first time you install the package. From there on out, either put ufw in your DAEMONS array in Template:Filename or control it via the standard Template:Codeline script (i.e. Template:Codeline):
# ufw enable
Finally, query the rules being applied via the status command:
# ufw status
Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- Anywhere ALLOW 192.168.0.0/24 Deluge ALLOW Anywhere SSH ALLOW Anywhere
Adding Other Applications
The PKG comes with some defaults based on the default ports of many common daemons and programs. Inspect the options by looking in the Template:Filename directory or by listing them in the program itself:
# ufw app list
If users are running any of the applications on a non-standard port, it is recommended to simply make Template:Filename containing the needed data using the defaults as a guide.
Example, deluge with custom tcp ports that range from 20202-20205:
[Deluge-my] title=Deluge description=Deluge BitTorrent client ports=20202:20205/tcp
Should you require to define both tcp and udp ports for the same application, simply separate them with a pipe as shown: this app opens tcp ports 10000-10002 and udp port 10003
One can also use a comma to define ports if a range is not desired. This example opens tcp ports 10000-10002 (inclusive) and udp ports 10003 and 10009
If you plan using UPnP you should open port 1900
# ufw allow 1900
Deleting Applications
Drawing on the Deluge/Deluge-my example above, the following will remove the standard Deluge rules and replace them with the Deluge-my rules from the above example:
# ufw delete allow Deluge # ufw allow Deluge-my
Query the result via the status command:
# ufw status
Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- Anywhere ALLOW 192.168.0.0/24 SSH ALLOW Anywhere Deluge-my ALLOW Anywhere
Rate Limiting with ufw
ufw has the ability to deny connections from an IP address that has attempted to initiate 6 or more connections in the last 30 seconds. Users should consider using this option for services such as sshd.
Using the above basic configuration, to enable rate limiting we would simply replace the allow parameter with the limit parameter. The new rule will then replace the previous.
# ufw limit SSH Rule updated # ufw status
Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- Anywhere ALLOW 192.168.0.0/24 SSH LIMIT Anywhere Deluge-my ALLOW Anywhere
GUI frontends
Gufw is an easy to use Ubuntu / Linux firewall, powered by ufw.
Gufw is an easy, intuitive, way to manage your Linux firewall. It supports common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured, common p2p, or individual ports port(s), and many others! Gufw is powered by ufw, runs on Ubuntu, and anywhere else Python, GTK, and Ufw are available.
kcm-ufw is KDE4 control module for ufw. The following features are supported:
- Enable/disable firewall
- Configure firewall default settings
- Add, edit, and remove rules
- Re-order rules via drag\'n\'drop
- Import/export of rules
- Setting of some IP tables modules
The module will appear under "Network and Connectivity" category.

SAN JOSE — Keep those scarves, sweaters and slickers handy.
A cold front that moved through the Bay Area Tuesday night and Wednesday morning didn't drop a lot of rain, but scattered showers may pop up across the region for the rest of the day and into the evening, forecasters said, and the Bay Area is likely heading into the coldest night of the season so far.
Tilden Park led the East Bay, showing about .28 inches in the 24 hours leading up to 8 a.m. Wednesday, according to Diana Henderson, a forecaster at the National Weather Service. In the South Bay, Morgan Hill showed a 24-hour rain total of .25 inches.
Even as the scattered showers give way to dry skies Wednesday night, however, "it's gonna get chillier," Henderson said. "Everybody's going to get colder."
Overnight lows will drop into the high 30s and low 40s for much of the region, she added. Temperatures will creep up through the end of the week, with daytime highs approaching 60 degrees and lows probably reaching above 40 degrees.
More rain will move in Saturday night and Sunday morning, Henderson said.

North Korea is at it again. Tensions are worsening now that peace has essentially dissipated between North and South Korea, and this has led to even greater animosity between the U.S. and North Korea. As all one party Dictatorships, Kim Jong Un and his goons are attempting to put on a show and contest the US.
If you�ve watched the news you�ll see North Korea has a million plus men marching in uniform. They have very large military vehicles strolling along with the soldiers that are carrying large rocket launchers, and supposedly they have Nuclear weapons.
With a leader nearly my age, it�s very feasible to believe that North Korea is seriously considering attacking us or our ally in the form of South Korea. But, overall, I don�t see the young Un or his military doing any such thing.
North Korea is a fish in a shark tank. America is the shark. There are many factors that go into the conflict in Korea that date back to the 1950s and even prior. Although North Korea may act tough, they know that we could wipe them like a crab to a tidal wave.
America has the top military technology on earth. We have the strongest military, the strongest navy, the strongest intelligence agency. North Korea�s weapons, vehicles, equipment, and technology are from pre-Cold War era.
They can�t even feed their own people. They have little modern industrialization. There economic output is pitiful. Truth be told, the country has been receiving food shipments from the U.S. for years. If they need more food, they simply provoke us. Eventually we provide the food shipments and they cease provoking us until they need more food or whatever it may be.
Anything is possible, and if we do go to war with them it will not be a war it will be practice. There is no David-Goliath factor. Our military technology, soldiers, equipment, weapons, etc. are all superior and formidable to all of our opponents; especially little ol� North Korea. Yes, China is considered as North Koreas major ally.
Yes, China has a very powerful, efficient, and massive military. China is also one of America�s primary economic partners. Without America, the Chinese would have no prosperity. Their economy would be as it was prior to Nixon bridging the gap between our two countries; basically like North Koreas is now, primitive, inefficient, and isolated.
The Chinese are a smart people, they know America�s capabilities and they also know the importance of our trade relationship. We are dependent upon their exports, but they are dependent on us for things like water shipments; because their water is so tainted from the overwhelming pollution in Beijing in other places due to the rapid industrialization China has experienced.
Literally the Chinese rely on America for fresh water shipments, along with many other things. They would not attack us no matter what North Korea does or does not do. We have greater influence in the IMF, World Bank, and United Nations than all other countries. America, despite its supposed economic and political turmoil, essentially controls the world; and China and North Korea are merely very weak nations, masquerading as powerful foes of America.
Just as his father, Un and North Korea�s military leaders are not prepared to attack anyone except their own people. I honestly can�t wait until the intelligence is revealed showing the concentration camps, the starvation and genocide of the North Korean people going on over there under the incompetent, immature, and soon to be incapacitated leader of North Korea.
It wouldn�t surprise me if CIA doesn�t already have mostly all the secrets of North Korea and its leaders. It is only a matter of time before the international community isolates and sanctions the country to the point of destruction. Get those commies out, install a capitalist leader, a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, and a bi-partisan, three branch government and then allow all the North Koreans to experience prosperity as the South Korean people have.
America is a boot, they are an ant. I�m convinced that when and if a military conflict happens between us once more we will finally put North Korea to rest. Until then, they�ll keep antagonizing America until they get their food and water shipments. Dennis Rodman poses more of threat than the entire country of North Korea.
But honestly, considering those weapons are from prior to the Cold War era, are hand-me-downs from China, and North Korea doesn�t even have the proper equipment to legitimately launch a nuclear attack, I�d say they couldn�t hit the back side of a barn; much less California or Hawaii.

Over the summer of this year, NASA's Swift satellite program detected something that defies our understanding of the universe. Seen was a phenomenon titled a hybrid-gamma ray burst, most likely signaling the formation of a new black hole. As one may surmise, a hybrid gamma ray burst is a combination of two classes of gamma ray bursts, but this specific one, named GRB 060614, exhibited features that could not be explained with a simple combination approach.
Gamma ray bursts are the most powerful explosions in the universe, however they only last for a short time and until recently were hard to detect. The Swift program was designed to detect such bursts. Since the discovery of GRB 060614 many of the world's other telescopes, both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial (Hubble, et al), have spent a large amount of time studying the source of GRB 060614. There are two main types of gamma ray bursts: short bursts lasting less than a second or two, and long bursts lasting longer than two seconds. Gamma ray bursts are often a sign that something else is about to happen or has happened; long bursts are often the result of a massive star collapsing into a black hole which can precede a supernova; short bursts, on the other hand, are often the result of two massive bodies merging. GRB 060614 lasted for a whopping 102 seconds, putting it well into the long-burst range, but it was missing the tell-tale sign of a supernova—which often accompanies a long gamma ray burst.
Through measurements of the photons that reached earth shortly after the burst, scientists have found that GRB 060614 behaved much more like a short-burst blast. However, there is currently no theory of merging massive bodies that would explain a burst of the duration of GRB 060614. This leaves scientists in uncharted territory. Some scientists suggest that this may not be an unprecedented event. By searching through old data of past gamma ray bursts (note: this one actually occurred 1.6 billion years ago, so it is very old as well), they believe they have found other hybrid bursts that defy current explanation but do not have the same amount of follow-up examinations as with GRB 060614. As it stands now, scientists are divided over what this was—a very long short burst, or a long burst without the accompanying supernova. Whichever it is, it provides scientists with a new challenge and shows what happens when new evidence reveals that a currently-held theory cannot explain everything. Scientists are regrouping in search of a new explanation that can encompass both our previous knowledge of gamma ray bursts as well as this newly discovered phenomenon. Even in the face of new evidence, science will continue to explore and seek new understanding.

How to Build an Audience for Your Blog using QR-Codes
Mar 30th
QR-Codes marketing is relatively new, but the Codes themselves originated in Japan but became popular all over the globe due to the amazing things people could do with them. These codes can contain simple text, URLs such as link to your Facebook pages and Flickr photo stream and contact information. They can used to provide quick information to online resources while displaying them on printed material. Bloggers and webmasters can even use them to build an audience for their blog and website as this post will demonstrate.
If you own a blog and you are searching for new and innovative ways to build an audience, you should use QR-Code marketing to enhance it further. These codes can help you bring people to your website just as other marketing techniques do. When QR-Codes are used alongside effective SEO and Social Media, they can work as a catalyst!
You can add the QR-code, which contain a link to your Facebook pages or Twitter account, on your offline ads. Your potential audience will scan these codes using their Smart phones to reach your pages quickly.
You can also add flair to your SEO campaign by using QR Code marketing and encoding links within them. Although search engine crawlers, with the exception of Google, do not read these links now, it is not going to take long before they start doing that as well. For now, you will be telling the search engines that a new image has been added to your blog or website. Google already recognizes these codes. Other search engines will soon recognize these codes and start indexing them accordingly.
You can use QR Code marketing to provide event, competition or contact details. You can also encode a link to Youtube videos. You can use them in hundreds of ways on your pages. All you got to do is to think of innovative ways to engage your visitors using these codes.

Shamrock Cocktail
3 Dashes Green Crème de Menthe. (5ml Brizard White Creme de Menthe)
3 Dashes Green Chartreuse. (5ml Green Chartreuse)
1/2 French Vermouth. (1 oz Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth)
1/2 Irish Whisky. (1 oz Bushmill's Single Malt 10 Year)
Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass.
Departures: First, I don't have Green Creme de Menthe, and sorry, I'm not about to buy any. It tastes the same as the White, it's just green, due to added artificial color. Second, I'm undersizing these dashes. Previously, I was holding out at 2.5ml for fluid dashes, but I know, with that 7.5ml Creme de Menthe, this would just taste like mouthwash.
And in fact, this does just taste like Mouthwash, as it is. There's probably a much better drink here with 7.5ml Green Chartreuse and a wash of creme de menthe. Heck, a spanked mint sprig would be plenty of mint for this drink, and it would come by its green color naturally.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Glad you are enjoying Dilmah in the US, particularly the luxury ranges. We have just received the new Watte range here in Australia and have been appointed to do the PR for Dilmah in Australia. It's good to know the rest of the world also enjoys the single origin leaves.
- njm said...
I've recently heard a lot about Dilmah tea, particularly its migration to the U.S. But I have yet to try it. I look forward to doing so in the near future.
Tea Escapade
- K-Blog said...
As someone who clearly appreicates tea, I think you'll really enjoy Dilmah. It is single origin and is packed in Sri Lanka where it is grown so is incredibly fresh. Dilmah is also the most ethical tea brand, being packaged and marketed all from Sri Lanka to the rest of the world. This means all the profits go back to the workers. Hope you get to try Dilmah soon - keep us posted!
- Nyssaneala said...
I am SO happy to hear this! I drank Dilmah tea every day when we lived in Australia, and I have really missed it.
- titagarh said...
Dilmah is truley a wonderful and refreshing tea. The unblended and freshly packed tea is comparable to none in the market. Once we tried the first sip of Dilmah we never went back again to the tea we drank all this time. Do yourself a favor and try a cup or two. You can buy dilmah online at Amazon.com

I have said it once so I will say it again. If Rex Ryan was in charge of this team, do you think we would have gotten to this stage in the Revis situation?
And don't say "But it was Woody" Then Woody is in charge. There can be only one person in charge.
And for people ho still believe Rex is in charge, I may have to ask the question again. Puppet master or Buffoon. Can't be both.
Seems like we have a "revelation" thread every other day. Good stuff.
A football organization is nothing more and nothing less than a corporate structure. There is only 1 person truly in charge. The one who signs the checks.
Anyone who thinks different is woefully misguided.
We don't know the powers in Jets management. We do know that Revis is only being shopped due to our cap situation. Rex doesn't control that.
You have no idea who's truly in charge.
Mods please change the title of this thread to "I hope Rex is not in charge".
Did you ever think that even Rex has grown tired of his BS? And/or how Revis' knee might factor into things?
Everything with you is black and white. Why can't there be exceptions? There are exceptions to everything. Why can't Rex be in charge AND we still trade Revis? Why can't he be a buffoon and every once in a while make a good decision? Blind squirrels find nuts, broken clocks are right twice a day.
Secondly, we know that Rex is loyal to a fault, players like Eric Smith being around here for long can attest to that, before being released this year.
Why wouldn't this loyalty continue with a player that he has praised so much?
Plus, if he wants to stick around, he needs good players to help him keep his job. Would he want to go into his lame duck season without any good players?
If he feels so secure in his job and feels that he has control over Woody, that leads back to question one.
See, it is a logical cycle.

Remember Rex getting pissed about Revis' situation on Hard Knocks. I even think Rex has his breaking point. And again, the knee is a factor in this. Makes it easier to say goodbye.
Of course Rex needs good players. Every coach needs good players. But he also needs a good team. And paying a CB coming off an ACL injury top dollar makes that hard to do. What Rex needs more than anything is to have a great draft and find a QB. His D got by without Revis.
And Rex is not a lame duck.
Mike Tannenbaum was the only football-man in the Jets organization. Now that he's gone, we have no leadership.
Idzik clearly sucks. Might as well have Rex call the shots.
