THE Collie Men's volleyball team has won the B-grade men's Coal Cup grand final on Sunday for the first time in the history of the iconic tournament.
The 28th annual Collie Coal Cup tournament was held at the weekend with a total 42 teams participating.
Club president Kyle Hulls said eight teams were turned away this year due to the tournament being at capacity.
"We run the only regional volleyball tournament in WA and it has always been a very popular weekend," Hulls said.
"People tend to dress up outrageous costumes and have a lot of fun playing."
Teams travelled from Albany, Busselton, Bunbury, Perth and surrounds to participate.
Hulls was also a member of the Collie men's B-grade team which won the grand final.
"It was about time a local team picked up a win and I was stoked to be part of it," Hulls said.
"The blokes played so well all weekend and really deserved to win after making it to the grand final last year and narrowly losing."
The other local team, Collie Cops and Robbers, finished third in the women's B-grade after losing the semi-final by one point.
The Coal Cup trophy, which was awarded to the team which showed great sportsmanship, commitment to the game and umpiring duty, performance and uniform, went to the Mighty Swans women's B-grade team.
Women's B – Winner: Kung Who; Runner-up: Mighty Swans; MVP: Lillian Leone, Pirate Booty.
Men's B – Winner: Locals and Leigh; Runner-up: The Avengers; MVP: Leigh Evans, Locals and Leigh.

Written by Heather Hymas
I do not write an opinion column. I write an uplifting column. I attempt to do this through sharing my experiences, my trials, and the lessons I have learned. Living a life with purpose is about finding your own value, seeing the value in others, and realizing that you are not alone. Our purpose on this planet is to connect with others and to help them to also feel valuable and loved. Having said that, I feel compelled this week to write an opinion column. Seems everywhere I turn these days, I see people disconnecting and judging others. This bothers me because as far as I can see, it all boils down to promoting what you love—being passionate about what you believe in—rather than bashing what you hate.
Live and let live.
It is a pretty simple concept really. If you don't like something, don't become engaged in it. Just don't do it. If it doesn't bring you joy or fit within your personal value system, then stay away from it. But do not criticize others choices or seek to take away their right to make them.
Personally, I do not partake in organized religion. I don't believe it is necessary to be religious in order to be spiritual, to have a connection with God, to pray, and to live a good life filled with love.
I feel much more connected when I am out in nature than I do in a man-made building. I can live a life based on helping others and being of service in a multitude of other ways; I do not have to do it through organized religion. Therefore, I promote what I believe. I belong to a hiking group. I encourage others to get out and connect with nature. I share my experiences and my spirituality in other ways.
I do not go around to churches telling people that I think what they are doing is wrong or that my way is better. I don't belittle or judge the way they find a connection or attempt to be of service. You see, even though I may see the inconsistencies and downfalls to certain religious practices, I can also see the positive aspects and the joy it brings to many. If something helps someone to feel connected and makes them want to be a better person, if it brings goodness or joy into their world, then acknowledge that.
I don't have to agree with other people's beliefs to respect them. You don't have to agree with my beliefs to see the value in them. If someone put up a picture of a tree and said, "This is not God!" I would strongly disagree, but I wouldn't be so offended that I felt the need to argue, call them out on it, put them down, or curse their existence. I would say to myself, Hmmm… they find value somewhere else. That is a difference we have, but the fact that we both value a connection with a higher power is good. That is what's important.
Find your value wherever you see fit, but don't disregard mine.
I am happy in my own skin. I love being a woman and all that goes with it. For whatever reason, I was born into a body and gender that feels right to me. But what if I wasn't? What if I was miserable? What if I felt like a man trapped in a woman's body? What if I walked around everyday feeling like I was a fraud—pretending to be something I was not? That negativity and discontent transfers to all of us. Who cares if Bruce Jenner feels better as a woman? Who does it hurt if he chooses to live as a woman? If he feels value and joy in being a woman, then go for it! When his happiness and personal value increases, it can only bring good into the world. If you don't want to change your gender, then don't, but allow others find their joy and purpose without judgment.
Live and let live.
I can already hear some people responding to this column with things like, "So If I want to burn down churches, cut up animals, or rape children, if that brings me joy or makes me feel valued than others should respect that, right?" That is an age-old, worn out argument that comes from very small and closed minds. Of course I'm not saying that. If someone is doing something harmful to others, if their actions degrade humanity or someone's right to live without fear or pain, then obviously it doesn't deserve respect. I believe most of us can agree on the things that are in this class: murder, oppression, discrimination, violence, abuse, etc. These things are just plain wrong, no matter what else you believe in. I am not talking about those things.
I am talking about the lifestyle choices and differences in beliefs that if you make them, do not affect me. Harsh judgments and negativity only create division between us as human beings of value. All of us have the same value and deserve the same respect no matter what underwear I choose to wear, what religion I connect with, what gender I choose to be, what I consider a family, whom I choose to love and spend my life with, what food I eat, what exercises I do, what I consider art or beauty, and where I find peace and joy. If it isn't about you—if it doesn't match up with your belief system—so what? You only deserve the freedom and respect you afford to others.
Live and let live.
Go out and find your truth, your value, and your joy—whatever that may be—and then be passionate about it, promote it to the world, share it, and shine your light. Live.
But when you come across others promoting their passion and their truth, and it is different from yours, don't bash it. Don't judge. Don't spread negativity and hate. Don't look at the differences and decide you need to make one right and one wrong. Let live.
Give others the right and the respect to find their own truth and joy, or else we all lose the right to do so.

A record 371-run partnership between Western Australian teammates Mitchell Marsh and Sam Whiteman lifted Australia A to 522 for nine wickets at stumps on Day 3 of their four-day match against India A in Brisbane. Marsh scored a double century.
Marsh and Whiteman came together on Monday with Australia reeling at 99 for six and resumed play on Tuesday at 126 for six. The partnership ended at 470 for seven, having set the second-highest partnership for the seventh wicket in first class cricket history. The pair batted through the first two sessions without the loss of a wicket as they continued Australia's rescue mission and recorded their own personal milestones.
On Monday, India A declared at 475 for nine, after Naman Ojha slammed a career-best 219 not out. In reply, the Australians lost five wickets in the day's last session with Jasprit Bumrah taking 3 wickets for 42.
However, Day 3 belonged to the Aussie middle-order. Whiteman raised his bat for his maiden first class century before finally departing for 174 (278 balls) off the spin of Karun Nair. Marsh celebrated his first double-ton in style, smashing a six to bring up the milestone. He was eventually run out for 211 (294 balls) with only five overs remaining in the day.
Ben Cutting wasted no time adding to Australia's total. He hit the first ball to the boundary and made a quick-fire 11 from 14 balls before being bowled by Jasprit Bumrah. At close of play, the not out batsmen for Australia A were Cameron Boyce (16) and Chadd Sayers (3).

CALGARY – Winnipeg's Brittany Schussler won the women's 3,000 metres at the Olympic trials for Canada's long-track speedskating team, virtually guaranteeing herself a spot at the Winter Olympics.
"I can't wrap my head around it," Schussler said. "I've been so, so nervous. I knew that that was my spot and that that was my race to win. I can't even believe it — I can't even comprehend —that I'm going to Sochi."
Canada's Olympic long-track speedskating team, which will consist of 10 women and eight men for all disciplines, will be announced on Jan. 22.
While Schussler was elated Saturday, the first day of the trials at the Olympic Oval in Calgary, Jeremy Wotherspoon's Olympic comeback bid took a major hit.

Why Are Greek Credit Event Swaps Still In The Mid 60'S?
As we wait for more IIF announcements about the Greek Private Sector Involvement (PSI), Greek CDS remains bid above 60 points up front. For a contract that is about to be "worthless", this seems to have a lot of value.
Why would Greek CDS still be so well bid?
One answer is stubbornness and stupidity. Maybe the CDS buyers are so convinced that Greece is a mess, that they will bid up CDS in spite of all the efforts by the "authorities" to circumvent a Credit Event. Maybe some buyers really think they are buying Credit DEFAULT Swaps, rather than the Credit EVENT swaps that they are actually buying? In spite of the name, it is not a Credit Default Swap, it is a Credit Event Swap. It is the Credit Event definitions that trigger the contract, and in spite of popular opinion, the word "voluntary" does not appear anywhere in the ISDA definitions.
Neither of those explanations seems satisfactory, although I do think the misunderstanding about what triggers a CDS may play a role. What other explanations are there?
What notional of bonds is really represented by the IIF negotiating team? Of the 200 billion or so of bonds outstanding, how many are truly represented by the IIF? When later today, or tomorrow, Dallara announces an agreement in principle, how many bonds are committed to that deal? I think there is a real risk that the amount of bonds that are actually part of this negotiation is fairly small. We may be disappointed to find out that only a fraction of potential bonds are being obligated to follow the IIF's deal. You would think after all the failing in PSI, they would have ensured that the vast majority of bonds are committed to whatever this IIF led group decides to do, but so little has been done like a "proper deal" that it wouldn't be a shock to find that the IIF and EU have overestimated how many bonds will agree to the deal they agree to.
Even if the IIF deal represents close to 100% of bonds, the CDS could still have value. In many ways, that is truly scary, but here is why the CDS could still have value.
There will be some holdouts. The deal will not receive 100% agreement (of that, I'm 100% certain). These holdouts are most likely to be "evil speculators". That will create a big issue for Greece. Will they pay these holdouts out at par? What a horrible message to send, pay holdouts at par after reducing notionals by 50% for participants. But if they don't want to pay them and reward them for holding out, it is hard to see how they can "screw" them without a default – either failure to pay or some retroactive Collective Action Clause (both of which would be a Credit Event). The Net Notional of Hellenic Republic CDS outstanding is only around 3 billion (less than 1% of the debt outstanding). After the PSI deal is done, the amount of debt would be reduced, but a default on a relatively small amount of holdout debt ($10 million I believe), would cause a Credit Event for the entire amount of CDS outstanding.
Away from the "holdout" scenario is the problem that the deal doesn't ensure Greece doesn't need to renegotiate again in the future. Remember the goal of this is to get debt to GDP to 120% by 2020!!! 120% debt to GDP ratio isn't exactly pristine, and how much can go wrong between now and 2020? The new debt would be under UK law, so it would be much harder to force another "voluntary" restructuring without triggering a Credit Event. The documentation of the new bonds will make it harder for Greece and EU to force through a similar deal in an attempt to once again circumvent triggering a Credit Event. 60 points up front seems like a lot to pay if they really are going to reduce debt dramatically, but the fact that debt will remain high and the new bond covenants will give creditors more power going forward does mean CDS isn't worthless.
There is one last thing that makes Greek CDS retain value. All of the conversations have focused on actual Greek debt. What about debt guaranteed by Greece? How much debt of weak Greek banks has Greece guaranteed? These aren't going away or being reduced and the banks they have guaranteed aren't improving anytime soon. It is hard to account for these guarantees, but they remain outstanding and if are called on and not met, would also be a Credit Event. This is a second order effect, but shouldn't be ignored since the Greek banks have been using Greek Government guarantees as a means of accessing the ECB or Greek Central Bank.
Finally, what else could be going on? One of the original 4 PSI proposals was a commitment to roll into new bonds when old bonds mature. This is very different from an immediate exchange. If someone holds 100 million of bonds due in a year and agrees to the exchange (restructuring, haircut, default) then Greece will have reduced their debt by 50 million. If all they do is agree to exchange when their bonds become due, there is no immediate reduction in Greek debt. I fully expect they are doing an immediate exchange, but watch the fine print as nothing about these negotiations has been straightforward or made sense from a normal deal.
The NPV reduction is another element that needs to be watched closely. The NPV hit will likely be 60% to 75%, but that is irrelevant to Greece. The Notional reduction is primarily what impacts Greece. If the debt notional is reduced from 200 billion to 100 billion, then Greece has reduced debt by 100 billion. It doesn't matter if the new bonds only have a market value of 50 billion, that is the bondholders problem and doesn't directly benefit Greece. Greek bonds already trade at 25% of par, so the secondary market discount doesn't provide a direct benefit to Greece.
So for Greece, the key is immediate exchange (rather than an exchange as bonds mature), and what the actual notional reduction is.
The interest rate is of secondary performance. In the grand scheme of things, a 3% or a 5% coupon on the new bonds doesn't make or break Greece. The coupons seem like a great savings, but the reality is that it isn't much different from the coupons Greece is currently paying. How "low" the coupon is and how helpful it is for Greece, needs to be compared to the average coupon Greece is currently paying and not to where bonds are trading in the secondary market.
What would be impressive? Immediate exchange of all Greek debt with at least a 50% notional reduction, 30 year maturity, and low coupon. Maybe we get that, but I doubt it, and it seems pretty well priced in.
Anything less is likely to disappoint the market as the realization that nothing is fixed sinks in, and that this may not even take near term "hard default" off the table (this PSI is a default no matter how it is spun even if it isn't a Credit Event).

Basketball player Dennis Rodman was born in 1961 in Trenton, New Jersey. Rodman's father left the family when Dennis was fairly young, and his mother struggled as a single parent trying to make ends meet. The family moved to Dallas, Texas, where Rodman and his two sisters spent their formative years. By his own accounts, Rodman's teenage years were not easy; his talents on the court had yet to surface and his small stature at the time led to meager opportunities following his graduation from high school.
A sudden growth spurt in his late teens sparked Dennis's desire to try basketball again, this time as a student at Cooke County College in Gainesville, Texas, for one semester, and then at Southeastern Oklaholma State University, where he excelled as a three-time NAIA All-American. His talents eventually caught the attention of the Detroit Pistons, starting a career on the court first at the small forward position and then later as a power forward. Rodman would go on to play for the San Antonio Spurs, the Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Dallas Mavericks before retiring.
Off the court, Dennis Rodman established a reputation as the "bad boy" of the NBA, with multi-colored hair, tattoos, and piercings. In recent years, Rodman has also appeared in a number of films and on a few television shows, including the reality shows Celebrity Big Brother, Celebrity Apprentice and Celebrity Mole, on which he won the main prize in 2004. Most recently, Dennis Rodman began writing and blogging for OPEN Sports; he has also authored five books, the most notorious of which is his biography, Bad as I Wanna Be (1996.)

text: A man in the village came to deliver an invitation for J to his daughter's sixth birthday party this Saturday. So we were talking about that when J mentioned that another of the (three) girls in his class recently had a birthday party and that J was not invited; he said that the little girl's mother told him that her mother didn't want him there... I felt a little shocked and saddened for J, although in another way I understand, I guess - an indoor birthday with J rushing around and being loud and excited is not what everyone would choose. But... it feels very unfriendly, in such a small community. At the moment J seems unaffected by it but it would only get harder as he gets older and begins to understand. He is going to be in for a fair amount of social rejection in France, generally, of course - and already I have fallen out of friendship with a French woman locally because J was rude to her 9 year old son and he got upset; her thesis is that J is the way he is because I am not authoritarian enough... Some people will understand and others won't and that's just the way it is. Life becomes altered with a hyperactive child; you can't do many of the things that other people take for granted like going to a restaurant with friends or going round to people's houses that are not good friends... I know that social isolation is one of the features of life for these children and it makes me sad. We are not good at welcoming difference. It is hard for others to accept them, one can understand that and yet... they have every right to be loved and welcomed on god's earth!

A civic engagement group led by big-name investors in the tech industry is working to build a social network for politics.
Brigade — which launched in April and is backed and led by Napster co-founder Sean Parker — announced Wednesday that it has acquired the political social network tools Causes and Votizen.
"Overcoming 50 years of declining participation in democracy and feelings of powerlessness, disconnectedness and disenfranchisement by big interest groups and big money takes time, energy and resources," the blog post said, pointing to the "great power in the technology that Causes and Votizen helped build."
In addition to Brigade Chairman Parker, the group is backed by Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff and Silicon Valley investor Ron Conway, who has provided financial backing to Google, PayPal and Foursquare.
Brigade executives include Adam Connor and John Thrall, formerly of Facebook and Yahoo, respectively.
After the acquisition announced Wednesday, Brigade's leadership team will include Votizen executives Jason Putorti, formerly of Mint.com, and Miche Capone, as well as Andrew Noyes, formerly of Facebook and Uber.
In a statement, Parker praised the new leadership additions, touting their "unique understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with civic engagement and advocacy" that will give Brigade "a massive head start in tackling a tremendous challenge."
President James Windon said in a statement that Brigade will continue to grow as it tackles "one of the last areas of our society nearly untouched by technology: civic engagement."
"Today's announcement is just the beginning of an exciting journey for us all," he said.

After defeating one Original Six rival, the Montreal Canadiens look to repeat the feat on Saturday, when they host the New York Rangers. Defenseman Andrei Markov scored with nine seconds remaining in the third period to forge a tie and rookie Brendan Gallagher tallied in the sixth round of the shootout as the Canadiens seized sole possession of first place in the Northeast Division with a 6-5 triumph over Boston on Wednesday. The offensive explosion was a welcome one for Montreal, which mustered just one goal in its previous two contests.
The Rangers certainly know a thing or two about offensive troubles - especially after a lackluster 3-0 loss to Ottawa on Thursday. New York, which has registered a league-low 78 goals, has dropped six of nine (3-5-1) and is tied with the New York Islanders for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers have lost their last seven visits to the Bell Centre.

On October 2nd, 2013, the MLB franchise St. Louis Cardinals announced a football match between Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Argentina, to be played November 18th, at Busch Stadium, a baseball park that is capable of hosting football matches, and has done so already. On May 24th, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 4-3 at the same ballpark, thanks to goals from Edin Dzeko, a Bosnian football favorite. Lionel Messi is rumored to make the trip with the Argentine squad to play the in form Bosnian team.
Bosnia is not a lock to play Argentina however, since it is dependent on the team qualifying for World Cup 2014 in their Group G of European Qualifications. They currently lead the group on a major plus goal differential over 2nd place Greece. Bosnia have two matches remaining, at home to Liechtenstein, whom they outclassed 8-1 in the first encounter, and Lithuania three days later, a team that was also beaten.
Argentina already has qualified for the World Cup and has two more qualifying matches to play, also on Oct. 11 and 15. It is ranked No. 2 in the world behind Spain by FIFA.
Cardinals ownership realizes what an opportunity this is, for everyone involved. "We were going to sit back and take it easy until 2014, but we could not resist the chance to have a game with these two teams," said Cardinals president Bill DeWitt III. "We're aggressively pushing the envelope, but at least we don't have to work this match around the baseball schedule (as the Cardinals did for the Chelsea-Manchester City game.)"
Cardinals ownership understands and respects St. Louis' Bosnian population, honoring the group with a recent Bosnian Heritage Day at the park. The Cardinals are expecting a huge crowd for this matchup, thanks to St. Louis' over 70,000 Bosnians that inhabit the mid-western city. The Manchester City and Chelsea game drew over 48,000 visitors to Busch Stadium, thanks to an appearance from the arguably the best Bosnian player at the moment, Edin Dzeko.
"For us, it's not about Messi, Tevez, Di Maria, or the other Argentine stars, its about our own team coming to the de facto Bosnian-American capital!," said Belma Hajric, a St. Louis native, and football fanatic. "We follow all of our players' games abroad. When Dzeko came to town with City, we packed the house, and this time, its going to be even better."
With a population unofficially at over two hundred thousand in America, Bosnians have carved out their home in the once decrepit neighborhoods of St. Louis, Chicago, Bowling Green, and elsewhere, and made it thriving communities. Unlike other waves of immigrants in the United States, most Bosnians came in a single large wave, fleeing the ethnic hatred and cleansing in their home country in the brutal war of the early 1990s.
Cafes, halls, anything that can hold a large gathering of people often find themselves full to the brink with Bosnian fans on game-day. When Bosnia played in the qualification playoffs in 2009 and 2012 against Portugal, St. Louis saw mini parades all over the city, all local Bosnian support.
When Bosnia came to visit the United States for a friendly match against Mexico, first in 2011 in Atlanta, and again in 2012 in Chicago, the tour saw sold out stadiums, dominated by Bosnian fans, a rare sight in America, where Mexicans can just as easily pack the house.
The game is also a home coming for Stuttgart striker Vedad Ibisevic who began his career in the United States, playing for a local St. Louis High School, Roosevelt High, before going on to play for St. Louis University.
"It'll be special to see players like Vedad Ibisevic, Pjanic, and Dzeko, because living here in the U.S. you don't really get a chance to see them live, so for us this is a special opportunity," said Mirza Ceric, a local business owner.
There will be a presale to Cardinals season ticket holders on Oct. 8, with tickets going on public sale on Oct. 10

Last week, we reported that authorities were considering charging Caitlyn Jenner with vehicular manslaughter for a fatal car accident she caused back in February. Prosecutors are still deciding whether or not to charge Jenner, but the former Olympian just got some news that's arguably even worse than the year of jail time she is facing.
According to Daily Mail, passengers involved in the car crash are now planning to sue Jenner for $18.5 million.
In the accident, Jenner hit the vehicle of 69 year-old Kim Howe, sending her careening into oncoming traffic. Howe's vehicle ended up hitting a Hummer which had five occupants, and these passengers are the people who are now planning to sue Jenner for the pain they went through.
This will come as awful news for Jenner, who has been having a fairy tale summer since announcing her "transition." $18.5 million is A LOT of money, especially for someone like Jenner, who is currently going through a divorce.
We wouldn't be surprised if Jenner would take a year of jail time over paying this hefty sum of money…

Okay, I heard you. Whatever happened to lgbtSr! Well, here it is. But there are some obvious changes. I can't keep up a website the way I did for six years and still be an author, a publisher, an editor, a husband, and have that pesky thing called a job. Last year I was hit with a bad case of shingles at the age of 58 and realized I had to take better care of myself.
But I know quite a few readers miss the columns and information I was providing every week, so here's a working compromise: lgbtSr is a dedicated page on my website. I'll have columns (providing there are contributors), articles and items of interest, as well as announcements and the occasional review.
Folks, I love what I did for six years. But I also want to stick around another twenty-five and that means pacing myself, admitting what I can and cannot get done, and, as in this case, finding working solutions.
I'll send an email out shortly. Those who want to keep getting it will have it when there's new content. Those who don't can simply unsubscribe. I know it's not as impressive as a dedicated website, but it's what I can do and stay sane.

In the past 50 years, the way health care is financed has changed, with private payers and public insurance paying for more care. The California Healthcare Foundation has created this excellent interactive graphic shows who paid for the nation's health care and how much it's costs have shifted since 1960. The tree-map provides an intriguing exposition of the 'relative costs' but as The Economist adds, with regard the 'absolute costs': American healthcare costs increased by roughly 100 times, from $27 billion in 1960 to $2.6 trillion in 2010.
Via The Economist:
Although everything from homes prices to petrol increased a lot over the past half century, America's medical costs grew at an especially hefty rate, from 5% to 18% of GDP. Americans spend about twice as much as Canadians, Germans, French or British. Indeed, the federal government in recent years has begun to spend more on Medicare and Medicaid than on defense.
Among the chart's most arresting stats: the out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs was 96% in 1960; today it is a mere 19%—the federal government pays more than half the costs. Likewise, the feds pay for about half the total cost of hospital care, compared with about one-third when Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980. (And this seemingly "socialized" healthcare spending, it bears noting, predates Obamacare.)

In this tutorial we will learn step by step how to configure IP address in linux . There are different ways in linux to configure IP address. We will show how to configure IP address in linux in different ways. We will use GUI tool nmtui text bases user interface network manager tool
What is IP address?
- An IP address is a set of 4 numbers assigned to each device/system on a computer network.
- Every computer requires IP address to communicate with others over the LAN or WAN.
- In computer network the IP address is a numerical representation of a host address.
For example, the domain google.co.uk would go to the IP address 22.214.171.124 There are four configuration parameters required for Static IP.
- IP Address
- Subnet mask
- Default Gateway or Router
- DNS Server(s)
There are two ways to configure an IP on a host.
- Static Configuration
- Dynamic Configuration
Static IP ConfigurationYou have to assign all these parameters manually.
The IP address will not change automatically. We assign static IP addresses to servers or network resources like printer, router etc. Dynamic IP Configuration Dynamic configurations are handled by DHCP server which assigns IP address automatically. DHCP service on the network provides all these parameters to a system when it joins the network.
DHCP uses DORA process for IP.
DORA Stand for;
D- Discover
How to Configure IP in Linux
CentOS/Red Hat provides two tools to configure the network device/interface.
- Network Configuration Tool
- Network Manager Tool
Network Configuration Tool This is a command line network configuration tool. This tool is used to configure IP address on terminal. Type below command in terminal and hit enter to invoke tool nmtui —network manager text user interface (you can run this command as root user) see below image;
You will see the dialog box (screenshot below)and select option Edit a connection
Select the interface enp0s3 which is by default interface name and hit enter
You will see the network configuration dialog box if you want to use DHCP then leave value Automatic highlighted in below screenshot; For static IP you have to select the option Manual and enter the IP manually By the help of navigation keys goto option ok to save the edit connection settings. Network Manager Tool This is a GUI tool to configure IP address. It is also default network management tool for RHEL. This tool is used to configure IP address on GUI. To invoke this tool click Goto the options – Applications>System Tools> Settings. Click on IPV4 option by default it is Automatic for static you need to select Manual option. After selecting manual option you need to set IP address, Netmask and Gateway. DNS IP as per your requirement. Click Apply button to save the settings. Another Method: Last but not least if you are using Pure CLI mode then there is another way to configure IP through configuration file. The path to the access configuration file is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3. For configuration you need to edit the configuration file Vim tool (vi) is use for editing vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3. You need to change and add some parameters for Static IP configuration, by default as I said that DHCP use by interface; Some Changes are; BOOTPROTO="static" NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONBOOT="yes" Add Parameters are; IPADDR=192.168.1.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 After editing press first Esc key to switch to command mode and type :wq to save changes and exit. If you are not familiar with vi editor please visit our tutorial working with vi editor part1 and working with vi editor part2 Now start/restart the service of network by using systemctl restart network. Check your interface get the IP by using ifconfig command. Yes interface get the IP which is 192.168.1.100
Congratulations we have learn how to configure IP in linux bravo
In this tutorial we have learnt step by step how to configure IP address in linux using GUI tool nmtui text based user interface network manager tool
I hope you enjoyed tutorial. See you again in next tutorial. Please let us know if there are any mistakes in tutorial suggestions are always welcome… Thanks

Souness stares into abyss
Leicester City 2 Blackburn Rovers 0
THOSE WHO BEMOAN THE predictability of the Barclaycard Premiership season may be feeling more than a little remorseful this morning. For starters, Leicester City do not occupy bottom position. Second, and equally unlikely in the scheme of things in the higher echelons, Blackburn Rovers are one place below them and can now be considered as serious relegation fodder after this abject defeat at the Walkers Stadium yesterday.
Late goals by Marcus Bent, the former Blackburn forward, and Steve Howey perhaps flattered the home side, who played second fiddle to the visiting team for most of an impoverished game. Yet that should not disguise the poor level of commitment within the Blackburn ranks. Ironically, Micky Adams, the Leicester manager, had called upon his own players for…

Franking Machines - Who Are The Big 4 Suppliers
Franking machines are devices that have automated the postage stamping of mailing items without requiring the purchase of paper stamps but using their own, usually inkjet, printing system.
All sizes of franking machines are made by various manufacturers although there are four companies that stand out as being 'The big Four' of franking machine makers:
- Pitney Bowes
- Neopost
- Frama UK Ltd
- FP Mailing (Francotyp-Postalia)
All of these manufacturers are Royal Mail approved suppliers you can rest assured that their products are of the highest quality. Franked post is cheaper than using stamps with discounts of up to 34% compared to conventional stamps.
1. Pitney Bowes Franking Machines
Pitney Bowes should probably be mentioned first since it was Pitney Bowes co-founder Arthur H. Pitney that first conceived the idea in 1901 shocked at how easy office staff could steal company stamps for their own use.
Pitney Bowes has continued to produce franking machines, other mail room equipment and even office automation such as photocopiers, printers and fax machines. Today Pitney Bowes is well known for their high quality machines ranging from the DM50 capable of up to 50 letters a day and consisting of an integral weighing platform, right up to the Connect+ 3000 Digital Franking Machine processing around 300 letters per minute.
The DM Infinity series can process a staggering 22,000 mail pieces per hour and represents top of the line high capacity and virtually non-stop printing.
For more information visit: Pitney Bowes Franking Machines models
2. Neopost Franking Machines
Neopost is reported to be the number one franking machine supplier in Europe and number to the world over, with machines to suit every size of budget and company.
The Neopost Autostamp2 (IS-240) is the entry level franking machine available for a free 30 day trial and rental possibility of as cheap as £16.99 a month. The Neopost IS-6000 can process up to 300 mailing items per minute and a dynamic scale which can measure, weigh and stamp in one movement through the feed system.
A high capacity envelope feeder can stack 7 inches high and be added to before the stacking tray is empty which keeps the machine running and reduces over all processing time required. There is a large 15" control panel and a full keyboard to make accessing departments a breeze.
For more information visit: Neopost Franking Machines models
3. Frama UK Franking Machines
Frama UK recently announced that all of their franking machines will come with a back lit display making them even easier to use. All Frama franking machines employ Frama ComTouch touch screen technology which enables users to program one touch keys for regular use instead of navigating through complex screens to perform daily functions.
Frama UK produce the Matrix F2, Matrix F3 and Matrix F4 models. The Matrix F2 is an entry level machine but has some features not found on equivalent machines by other manufacturers including 18 programmable one touch keys, envelope thicknesses of up to 10mm and 'plug & play' ink cartridge replacement.
For more information visit: Frama UK Franking Machine models
4. FP Mailing (Francotyp-Postalia) Franking Machines
FP Mailing or Francotyop-Postalia franking machines start with the MyMail as an entry level machine with integrated 2kg scales (unlike the Frama Matrix 2), 3 preset marketing slogans, 3 departmental accounting codes and electronic text messaging to add more marketing text to mail.
The Optimail 25 and Optimail 35 are the very popular low and medium volume machines without (Optimail 25) and with (Optimail 35) 2kg integrated scales.

Ultima 6 German Translation
Produced by: Sir John
Website: Deutsche Übersetzungen für Spiele der Ultima-Reihe
Sir John's translation of Ultima 6 into German.
Sir John was one of the principal contributors to the German translation of the Ultima 6 Project, and with the lore of that game so fresh in his mind, he decided to tackle the task of translating the original Ultima 6 to German as well. It's an ambitious project, especially for what appears to be a solo effort, but Sir John has been making excellent progress with it:
The biggest technical hurdle that Sir John faces is that, because he must make most of these changes with a hex editor, he has to find ways to translate phrases in German using the same number of characters as the English equivalent. This isn't a universal restriction, I don't think, but where it asserts itself it presents significant challenges, since German phrases tend to be longer (in terms of character count) than their English equivalents.
Thus far, Sir John has changed all of the in-game graphics, all the barks, all the item names, and all the books. All conversations in the game have been translated, as has the magic system, and some of the system barks. Additionally, the murder of Quenton can now be solved. These changes are available in the version 1.0 (beta 3) patch above.

Large Group > Small Group > Smaller Group >
The Bible makes clear that the ultimate purpose of his church is bring him glory. The church is to reflect the greatness of God to the world.
But how do we do this? What does a healthy, God-glorifying church do?
We believe that the Bible gives us answers to this question. In Mathew 28, Jesus told his followers to make more followers. They were to take what they were and reproduce in the lives of others.
So you have a group of followers of Jesus who had to continually grow in their relationships with Jesus while simultaneously introducing others to Jesus so that more followers would be produced and, in turn, grow themselves.
Because of this command given to the church by Jesus, we believe that Living Proof best glorifies God by equipping Christians with the gospel in order to become and make fully devoted followers of Jesus in Williamsburg and around the world.
An easy way to remember this purpose is to use the phrase, "Becoming and Making through the Gospel."
As part of accomplishing this purpose, the Bible shows us six practices of healthy churches. *We desire these six elements to be ever-present among Living Proof.
The healthy church:
The structure needed for this type of health is built upon three legs of support, the Large Group, the Small Group, and the Smaller Group. To learn more about these three legs, click on each below.
If you supported on these three legs you will be in the best position to experience the six elements of a healthy church on the road toward becoming and making fully devoted followers of Jesus through the Gospel.
*This specific wording is borrowed from Dr. Chuck Lawless in his book, Discipled Warriors.

While the likes of Samsung and LG have been wowing the hordes at CES with new mammoth OLED screens, research continues into the next generation of the flexible OLED displays.
With distinct contrast, brightness and image lag improvements over LCD displays research labs are hurrying development of another of the useful attributes of OLED screens – the ability to create flexible screens.
OLED screens are popular in high end applications including smartphones and tablets, so there is potential for bendable screens at this size. Indeed, with the panel industry on its backside, the boost to the supply chain flexible OLEDs would provide would be very welcome aside from consumer interest.
Various prototypes have emerged during 2011, however researchers at the Holst Centre and Imec believe that we are still a few years away from actually seeing such devices on shelves and in our pockets.
They are attempting to develop economically scalable routes to commercialising production. This involves looking for cheaper production methods to create higher quality devices for the screen cover and TFT backpanel.
While research into flexible displays is a top priority for many companies, according to researchers at the Holst Centre there is still work to be done to meet a consensus over production methods.
"Many groups have been looking into different technology options, the market is beginning to appear but no clear answer as to which production method is to be used has been decided so far," Gerwin Gelinck, Program Manager Flexible OLED Displays at the Holst Centre, told TechEye.
"The two main issues at the moment are that OLED's downgrade if they are exposed to water and also there are problems with operational deterioration over time," Gelinck continued. "These are the two main bottlenecks to the commercialisation of OLED screens."
Big name TV manufacturers have been rushing to complete work on commercially ready large scale sets, but there is still a long way before similar leaps are made with flexible displays.
"To make flexible displays into a product you have to ensure that barriers can stop water from getting through," Gelinck told us. "While this has been by the likes of Samsung and LG in their recently announced OLED display, this has been done with glass meaning manufacturing at a high temperature. In order to produce flexible screens on a plastic substrate you need lower production temperatures that can still create a barrier.
"Also, there is the operational issue of deterioration over time, and many prototypes have been deteriorating quickly. If we know how it will change and this is predictable we can compensate however. Both the materials and processes are improving."
But it seems that there may be at least one or two more CES' to go before we hear manufacturers enthuse about flexible devices: "It is likely to be two to three years before plastic substrates are mastered in the same as the glass products that LG and Samsung have revealed.
"This is because we need to see what kind of reliability there is with the technology and the lifetime of a display needs to be proven," Gelinck said.

How I Shoot – A Great Camera Strap You Should Never Be Without..
Editors note: How I Shoot: A monthly photo series where I highlight something I find useful in terms of travel photography – be it gear, tips, technical data, etc. If you're looking for help taking better photos be sure to take a look at our photo ebook: Getting Out Of Auto – it's full of tips and tricks to help you understand the basics in a fun way! Hope you enjoy it!
The last How I Shoot post was all about saving your back with an out-of-this-world camera bag strap that cost only $20. If you missed it be sure to check out The Best $20 You'll Ever Spend on Camera Gear. This post features another affordable strap but this one is for your camera.
You know that strap that came with your camera? If you're a Nikon user you can't miss it since it probably has the word Nikon plastered all over it in bright yellow letters, along with the name of the model camera you are using. That strap sucks. No offense to anyone out there that is using it, I just can't stand it. I guarantee if you try out the strap I'm writing about, you'll never go back to your kit strap either, be it Nikon, Canon, etc.
The kit straps aren't comfortable plus I think they are too short. To top it off, I hate broadcasting to the world exactly what camera I'm using. To me, it's basically asking a thief to pay attention to my gear–which I really don't want. The ad team at Nikon definitely did not have travelers in mind when they came up with that strap.
I know a lot of people use those straps because they come with the camera, and they come at a great price – free – with the purchase of your camera body. It's hard to beat free, but carry your camera around enough and soon you'll be wondering if there's a better strap to save your aching neck. There is – today I'm going to tell you all about an awesome strap that I use and love. It's the Op/Tech USA Classic Strap.
Why do I love it? Here's five reasons:
1. It Makes My Camera Lighter!
This is a big reason why I love it so much. It has a built in weight distribution system. Don't ask me how they do it but it works. Like. A. Charm. Put this bad boy on your camera and your neck will thank you instantaneously. The bouncy, neoprene material makes your camera feel SO much lighter. If your camera feels too heavy to carry all day–try this strap and thank me later.
2. It's Longer Than A Typical Camera Strap.
I think it's probably only the difference of a couple of inches but it's just enough. I hate carrying the camera on my shoulder or my neck alone. The extra length lets me put the strap across my chest – which is what I do. That way my camera is always to the front of my body, it feels safer, helps with weight distribution and I don't have to worry about it slipping off my shoulder. Typically, what I do is wear it on the same side as my camera bag, and I will actually let the camera rest on the bag while I'm walking around–then it doesn't really weigh anything. I can only do this because of the extra length. Granted at 5′, I am not that tall, but I imagine if you are taller, you will appreciate this feature even more.
3. It's Black & Nondescript.
Why invite someone to rip off your gear? I like to keep all my photo gear as nondescript as possible and this strap fits the bill. Mine is black, blends in with my camera bag strap and has no writing on it. If you don't want to amplify the camera brand you are shooting with to the world, this strap is perfect.
4. It Has A Quick Disconnect System.
On each side of the strap there are two quick releases that let you quickly remove the camera from the strap. Set it and forget it–there's no need to fiddle with the camera strap rings anymore. Some people might see the quick release as a con rather than a pro citing that the camera could disconnect from the strap accidentally, fall and break. In the 10 years I have used this strap that has never happened. This strap has been with me since my commercial days in Boston, on every news assignment, at every wedding and on all my travels. It has never disconnected. Ever.
Why do I love the quick disconnect? It gives me extra security and it let's me quickly hang and tie my camera to something. If I feel a little sketched out and worried about my camera, I will undo one of the releases and wrap the camera strap around my camera bag strap and then click it back in place. I have used it to lock the camera to various items throughout my travels- on cafe tables, on trains, in hostels, etc. It's just a little extra piece of mind that the camera is connected to another item which makes it harder for a thief to grab and go. As an example, in Paris we wanted a photo of ourselves in front of the Eiffel Tower. It was dark out and I don't give my camera to strangers, not even for a quick photo. Fortunately, there was an iron gate and a short concrete wall across from the tower. I wasn't about to leave my camera on the concrete wall and run away for a photo. Instead, I used the quick release and ran the strap through several parts of the gate and locked it back to itself. I set the self timer and we got a picture. It would've been tough for someone to undo it quickly enough to grab the camera and run off.
The other great design function is that you can entirely remove the neoprene part of the strap and snap together both sides of the remaining strap to give yourself a small, handy short strap. Great if you need to handhold your camera and the entire strap is too bulky for the situation. I love the quick release feature, and I'm sure if you get a strap like this you'll find plenty of uses for it too.
5. The Price Tag
Unlike a lot of other camera equipment, this one has a pretty sweet price tag of about $20. In fact, I just did a quick search and found a grey strap on B&H for $17. Under $20 for extra comfort and security? You can't beat it.
If you want to feel safer, shoot longer and more comfortably–get this strap. Seriously, get it today.
As a disclaimer, while I wish that B&H and Op/Tech USA wanted me to test out their gear, they did not contact me to write about this strap. This is the strap I own and use. I highly recommend it.

New Delhi, May 4: Senior bureaucrats dealing with Jammu and Kashmir believe there could be a lull in violence as the momentum for peace builds up, despite bloodletting increasing after Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayees visit to the state.
If everything goes according to plan, we expect a temporary lull. Not that the violence will stop completely, but perhaps there will not be any spectacular attacks with the potential to derail the current engagement. Lets see what finally happens, said a senior official who did not wish to be identified.
India believes Pakistan cannot afford to immediately call a halt to violence, which did not abate despite peace overtures. It will only prove what we had been saying all along that the ISI is responsible for the bleed-India policy. So stray attacks will not stop. Nor will India go soft on militants. Our action against terror groups will certainly not ease out, he added.
The Mufti Mohammad Sayeed government in the state is keeping a close watch on the situation. So far so good, said an aide to the chief minister. But it is early days yet and we do not want to make any quick judgements. The state administration, like officials in Delhi, is also hopeful that the level of violence will come down in the next few weeks.
A day after the Hizb-ul Mujahideen was added to the US list of terrorist organisations, the outfit yesterday welcomed the peace moves between India and Pakistan. Indian officials had welcomed the US action, not so much because it would make a difference in the ground situation in Kashmir, but because of the message it seeks to convey to those relying on terrorist tactics to achieve their ends.
It is a clear signal that terrorist tactics, however just the cause, will no longer be tolerated. The message should go home to all outfits wanting to use violence as a weapon, said a home ministry official.
When the ban on the Hizb finally comes into force in the US, it may not make any difference to the organisation in Kashmir, said the home ministry official.
The Hizb operates mainly from India and Pakistan. It does not have much of a network in the US, though some funding may come from Kashmiris settled there. But the decision to label it a terrorist organisation is an indication of how much the world has changed since September 11, he explained.
However, Hurriyat leader and its former chairman, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, has exhorted Kashmiris to continue fighting for their rights. Geelani issued a statement yesterday criticising Pakistan foreign minister Khursheed Mehmood Kasuris statement that trade issues will be discussed before Kashmir. Pakistan today claimed Kasuri was misquoted.
Geelani said Pakistan was under both visible and invisible pressure and hinted the country was softening its stand and could well accept for its national self-interest the LoC as a permanent boundary between India and Pakistan.
Geelani, however, said: I am happy with the latest peacemaking efforts between India and Pakistan. It appears that Islamabad might backtrack from its known stand on Kashmir and seek improvement in relations with India by opening new avenues on the trade front.
The Hurriyat leader pointed out: Islamabad might eventually declare that security and integrity are supreme for it.... All this shall be justified by chanting the slogan teri jan meri jan, sab say pehlay Pakistan and by citing the plight of Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and Iraq.
But Indian officials shrugged off Geelanis statement. They said he would finally follow Islamabads directives and did not reflect the opinion of the majority of Kashmiris who had welcomed the peace initiative.

Good to make in the afternoon, then reheat and add fish before serving. Very quick and easy. Can substitute haddock or any mild white fish.
353 Calories.
- Yield
- 4 bowls
- 4 cloves garlic, cut in half, green shoots removed
- 4 anchovy fillets, soaked in water for 5 minutes, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 28 oz can diced tomatoes, with liquid
- 1 quart water
- 1 lb small red potatoes, scrubbed and sliced
- 1 bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a large strip of orange zest, a couple of sprigs each of thyme and parsley, and a dried red chili, if desired
- Freshly ground pepper and salt to taste
- 1 1/2 lbs tilapia, cut inch pieces
- Place the garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy fillets and mash with the garlic. Set aside. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven, and add the onion, celery and carrot with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, about five minutes. Add the pureed garlic and anchovy. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is very fragrant, about one minute, and then add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit and the mixture smells aromatic, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the water, potatoes, salt (to taste) and the bouquet garni. Bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low, cover partially and simmer 30 minutes. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and stir into the soup. The soup should not be boiling. Simmer five to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets) or just until it flakes easily when poked. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley, taste once more, adjust seasonings and serve.

Title: "US Officials Say NPT Decision Surpassed All Expectations." US officials expressed surprise at the overwhelming consensus decision to permanently extend the nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). (950516)
Translated Title: La decision prise a propos du TNP excede tous les espoirs. (950516)
Author: PORTH, JACQUELYN S (USIA STAFF WRITER)
Date: 19950516
U.S. OFFICIALS SAY NPT DECISION SURPASSED ALL EXPECTATIONS (NPT: See it moving treaty closer to universality) (880) By Jacquelyn S. Porth USIA Security Affairs Writer Washington -- The overwhelming consensus decision making the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) permanent "surpassed...everyone's expectations," says U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency Director (ACDA) John Holum.
The extent of support demonstrated for indefinite extension at the recent NPT review and extension conference, he says, also had the side effect of bringing additional countries closer to joining the non-proliferation regime. With Chile planning to deposit its instrument of ratification shortly and Brazil signaling that it too may soon accede to the treaty, Holum says the treaty has moved "closer to universality."
ACDA's Deputy Director Ralph Earle dismisses the idea that action taken at the conference had the effect of weakening the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). He disputes some post-conference press reporting suggesting that the "back" of the NAM was "broken" by the extension decision. He points out that the NAM countries were not united on the extension issue and that national opinion was "all over the spectrum."
Ambassador Thomas Graham, another key member of the U.S. delegation to the month-long conference, says the consensus decision finally emerged because "everyone wanted the same result, which was the strongest possible NPT regime." Consensus emerged, he says, after Indonesia was willing to support indefinite extension if future treaty reviews are strengthened and made more substantive.
The three arms control officials assessed the outcome of the conference at an ACDA briefing May 16. The conference, Graham said, was not a victory for "any one country, or...region" but "a victory for the whole world that will add to peace and stability for everyone in the future."
By endorsing the principles and objectives on nuclear non-proliferation, he said, the nuclear weapons states have, in effect, signed an "IOU" to the rest of the world. They are now "further committed," he said, "for the indefinite future to the process of nuclear disarmament."
Graham expressed hope that all nations will now join the NPT regime. There are currently 185 members of the United Nations, and arms control experts count 178 of them as parties to the NPT.
Holum reported that the United States is "very disturbed" by China's underground nuclear test, which was detonated only days following the May 12 conclusion of the NPT conference. When the world is already tending toward nuclear weapons reductions, he stressed, "there is no reason for any country to be engaged in any further refinements or modernization of nuclear weapons."
The United States has registered its objections to China regarding its testing program, he said, but he also noted that China has committed itself, along with the other nuclear powers, to embrace a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty by 1996.
Holum said the agreement by Russia to forego selling gas centrifuge enrichment equipment to Iran "is an important step against the nuclear weapons ambitions of Iran." The Russians' decision, he said, reflects "their acceptance of the U.S. view that there is a danger of nuclear proliferation in Iran." The recent Moscow summit, he said, made clear that arms control is "a very important element of U.S.-Russian relations."
U.S. officials are convinced, Holum said, that the Iranians are "hell-bent on acquiring a nuclear weapons capability," although they are still "some years from success."
On May 15, Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs Lynn Davis warned of Iranian nuclear intentions. She noted that U.S. policy "is designed to keep Russia from cooperating" in civil or military nuclear areas with Iran "because we believe, in each and every case, it helps contribute to what it is we believe Iran is all about -- and that is to develop nuclear weapons."
Davis also expressed U.S. concern about Chinese assistance to Iran. "We have also sought to convince the Chinese that it is not in their interest to go forward with any peaceful nuclear cooperation with Iran," she said.
China's "continued support" of Iran is an obstacle to expanded peaceful nuclear cooperation with Beijing, she said, adding: "We are asking nothing of the Russians that we are not asking of the Chinese, and not asking either country more than we do ourselves. That is, the United States and the other G-7 countries do not cooperate or engage in peaceful nuclear cooperation with Iran." The United States is seeking to prevent the transfer of nuclear technology, by any nation, to Iran, she pointed out.
While presidents Clinton and Yeltsin made considerable progress on implementation issues regarding strategic arms, Holum said, the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission will be the place to work out "remaining details." On the subject of ratification of the second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), he said the United States is pushing to conclude the formality quickly, but the issue is "more problematic" on the Russian side because they intend to ratify the international chemical weapons convention before START II.
Davis also indicated that the Russian decision on START is "still some time away." But she noted that once START II is ratified, U.S. and Russian officials will be prepared to discuss additional reductions in strategic weapons.

Before you rush into all the pretty details of a bathroom remodel look closely at the issues with each component.
Today I will review some important things to think about with bathtubs.
At first you see the beautiful bathroom and then the view but take a minute and notice that he tub spout and handles are on different ends of the tub
1. Be sure there is clear access to the faucets in order to turn them on and off without having to reach over a toilet, the tub itself or some other obstacle. If you have a decorative spout you want to mount on the back side, separate the handles from the spout and mount them on the front or side.
Here the spout is at the back and the hand held spray and the faucets are placed on either end leaving room for entering in the center. There is also an access panel on the right side of the tub for the plumbing but it is disguised as paneling
2. If you are installing a whirlpool or air tub be sure you allow for an access panel to the motor in case repairs are needed. It's also a good idea to have easy access to the faucets.
The access panel is visible here but should have been made of the same tile or faux finished to match so it wouldn't stand out.
3. Contractors like to install top mounted tubs because they are easier to install and less expensive to install than undermount tubs. But remember that top mounted tubs need plenty of room around them so that that water pooling on the outside won't be a problem to clean up. Dont' cramp the faucets so close to a wall or glass shower that you can't easily clean up.
This tub doens't have much clearance and luckily is is undermounted not top mounted.
4. If you are installing a tub into a deck be sure to add extra insulation around it so the water will stay warm longer. Cast iron retains the heat the best.
5. Although they are sometimes very attractive, deck top mounted tubs are not as comfortable to get in and out of as under-mounted tubs because they interfere with a person being able to sit comfortably and swing their legs into the tub.
This top mount tub has very high sides which is uncomfortable to sit on because you are on two levels.
This top mount tub has a low profile which will be easier to sit on and get in and out. The space for the faucets between the tub and glass shower wall is where water splashed from the tub gets caught. If there is a small space at the back of the tub (not in this photo but maybe in the one above) it is really hard to access and keep clean.
6. The edge in front of a deck mounted tub should not be more than 6″-8″ or it will be difficult to get in an out of.
This tub is flush mounted with the tile so the side where you sit to enter is flat and comfortable.
7. While steps in front of a tub look nice, they are not safe because there is not enough leg room for the person getting in and out of the tub and they can create a safety issue.
Here is an example of narrow steps leading up to a tall tub. Whose feet are that small? I can only imagine kids climbing up and jumping off.
This soaking tub has a much broader step and about 18″ from the step to the tub so it's much easier to get into.
8. If the tub is too low or sunken it is also hard to get in and out of.
This tub is striking but so low it would be difficult to get into and you would also have to reach over and low to reach the handles. OK for the young but not easy for most people. Swimming pools have ladders to enter and exit and that would help a situation like this. The drain around the sides is interesting.
9. If the tub has a shower over it, I recommend an undermounted tub so there will not be water trapped on the ledge between it and the shower glass. The height of the tub on a tub shower combinations should be no higher than 18″ (with 21″ maximum) because it is hard to get in and out if any higher.
Although this tub is separate from the shower there is not a lot of room to clean around the faucets because of the raised edge of the overmount tub and the small space behind the faucet which captures water.
10. Is the floor in front of the tub (and shower) slip resistant? If not it can be a safety hazard.
This tub has a recessed drain and teak planks just outside the tub.
Using small scale tiles on the floor also addresses slippage becasue of all the extra grout.
11. Plan to include a niche, shelves or landing area large enough for your bathing supplies and don't forget to have a towel rack nearby.
Here are some ways people have addressed the issue for free standing tubs. Notice that the tubs both have the faucets in the back which might make it difficult to test and adjust the water before getting in. The tub on the right has walk up access to reload the shelves.
Here is a solution used at a built in tub. Notice all the space around the faucet (mounted on the tub this time instead of the deck) so clean up will be easy.
12. If you are using a freestanding tub be sure it is easy to get in and out of and is comfortable. Try it out in the showroom.
Happy Remodeling!

text: I have a question for you who final grade, specifically for new houses. Do you have a minimum charge if the lot is smaller than 1/4 an acre? Also, when you calculate for the lot size to be graded, do you NOT count the size of the house? In other words if the lot is 1/4 acre, does the job become less than that because the house is taking up space on the lot? Thanks, Tim

Doctor Death in York
11:20am 21st November 2011
(Updated 11:21am 21st November 2011)
A controversy seminar's underway in York discussing ways that people can commit suicide.
Australian euthanasia campaigner, Philip Nitschke (otherwise known as Doctor Death), is heading it up at the Priory Street Centre.
It's sparked a fierce debate as to whether assisted suicide should be discussed in this way, when it's a crime in the UK.
Dr Nitschke is in York as part of a UK tour talking about ways to help the elderly and terminally ill to end their lives.
He's defended his beliefs, saying that people have a right to know ways to end their life.
He said he is aware assisting suicide is a crime in the UK, which is punishable with 14 years in jail, but said his seminars "inform so people can make informed choices".
Anyone experiencing feelings of depression and contemplating suicide can phone the Samaritans on 020 8394 8300.

Of course I wanted our focus to be on Thanksgiving. But since we are going to see replicas of the Nina and Pinta next Monday, I wanted to throw in a little Columbus and ship study, too. So we did a little mash up.
Dawson finished watching The Andromeda Strain for Biology and answered questions about it. He sure thought that learning the effects of deadly viruses on ph balances and amino acids through a movie (albiet low-quality) was much better than just reading about it in a book! It was obvious from our question-answer discussion that he picked up some good stuff. On Monday we will actually be starting our first chapter on Energy. Our focus has been on cells and the patterns of life so we are ready to jump into our first major topic!
In addition to his Biology studies, Dawson plugged away at Algebra, Critical Thinking and Grammar. Then he joined Brynne and I in our Thanksgiving/Columbus studies.
He read The Nina, The Pinta and The Santa Maria by Dennis Brindell Fradin.
He drew one of the ships and Columbus from the Draw Write Now book we picked up from the library. These two were actually two separate lessons, but he put them into one drawing. Notice Columbus' Santa hat? Dawson always finds a way to throw in something quirky.
He also wrote a five senses poem from his IEW curriculum.
Once our boat hits the sand,
We go to the indians to shake their hand.
It's cold outside, they keep us warm.
They teach us proper ways to farm.
We hug them tight cause we have peace,
So tomorrow we have a delicious feast.
We catch the scent that the food is done.
We all gather to have some fun.
We sing and dance upon our feet.
Thank you, LORD, for what we're about to eat.
Brynne and I, in the meantime, read Oh, What a Thanksgiving by Steven Kroll and A Picture Book of Christopher Columbus by David A. Adler.
She drew her picture of one of Columbus' ships, and put a stick-figure of Columbus on it. This picture reflects Columbus landing on an island that has a mountain (the gray thing) and a palm tree. She also copied the text from the Draw Write Now lesson.
In math, she did a couple of worksheets. One was a number order sheet and one was a math addition facts sheet. She said, "This is so boring." I knew they were well below her knowlege level, but I couldn't really find anything Thanksgivingish that was at her level.
So, I had her paint a paper plate to look like a pumpkin.
And the next day I cut it into parts and we did an introduction to fractions lesson.
She also worked on her handwriting, copywork, grammar, and did some personal reading to finish off the week. She has a nasty cold (again) so by yesterday afternoon she was winding down pretty hard and ended her day on the couch watching a Barbie movie. She was supposed to go with her homeschool choir to sing at the Community Center this morning, but I decided it probably wasn't a good idea to expose her snottiness to the elderly.
Over the next few days, we will be discussing the First Thanksgiving and also reading the book Thanksgiving on Thursday by Mary Pope Osborne.
I know many of you took the whole week off. I hope that you are enjoying your family time!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Counting my blessings,
