Network Access Protection, Revisited (Part 6)
By Brien Posey / November 20, 2008 September 9, 2017
If you would like to read other parts to the article series please read:
In the previous article in this series, I showed you how to create authorization policies for both compliant and for noncompliant computers. In this article, we will complete the server configuration procedure. The first step in doing so is to create a network policy that can be applied to any machine that authenticates through the VPN server.
Begin the process by opening the Network Policy Server console and navigating through the console tree to NPS (Local) | Policies | Network Policies. At this point, the details pane should display any previously existing network policies. Take a moment to verify that the Compliant – Full Access and the Noncompliant – Restricted policies are enabled, and that the Connections to Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Server policy is disabled, as shown in Figure A.
Figure A: Make sure that the Compliant – Full Access and the Noncompliant – Restricted policies are enabled
Now it is time to create a network policy. To do so, right click on the Network Policies container and choose the New command from the resulting shortcut menu. When you do, Windows will launch the New Network Policy Wizard.
The first thing that you must do is to enter a name for the new policy that we are creating. For our purposes, let's call the policy RRAS. After entering RRAS in the Policy Name field, select the Remote Access Server (VPN-Dial up) option from the Type of Network Access Server drop down list, as shown in Figure B.
Figure B: Set the Type of Network Access Server to Remote Access Server (VPN-Dial up)
Click Next, and the wizard will take you to the Specify Conditions screen. The wizard will not even allow you to continue until you specify at least one condition that must be met. I like to configure the policy to look at the inbound connection type. That way, I can set the policy to apply to any VPN connection that is established with the server.
To set the conditions, click the Add button, and then scroll through the Select Conditions dialog box until you find the Tunnel Type option. Select the Tunnel Type option, and click Add. You will now see a screen that asks you to specify the types of tunnels required to match the policy. You can really choose anything that you want here, but I recommend choosing the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) and the Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) options, as shown in Figure C.
Figure C: Choose the PPTP and the L2TP options, and click OK
Click OK, and then click Next. The wizard will now display the Specify Access Permission screen. Choose the Access Granted radio button, and then select the Access is Determined by User Dial In Properties check box, as shown in Figure D.
Figure D: Choose the Access Granted radio button, and then select the Access is Determined by User Dial In Properties check box
The next screen that you will be taken to asks you which EAP types you want to use for authentication. You can use any EAP types that you want, but I recommend using Microsoft Protected EAP and EAP-MSCHAP-V2. To specify these types of EAP, click the Add button, and then select the Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP) option, and click OK. Next, click the Add button again, select the Microsoft: Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP-V2) option, and click OK. When the wizard returns you to the Configure Authentication Methods screen, deselect the Microsoft Encrypted Authentication (MS-CHAP) check box. The screen should now look like the one that is shown in Figure E.
Figure E: Your Configure Authentication Methods screen should look like this
Click Next, and the wizard will display the Configure Constraints screen. As you can see in Figure F, this screen allows you to set things like the session timeout period or any day or time restrictions that you want to impose. Given the complexity of deploying NAP, I recommend not initially imposing any constraints. I tend to think that it is better to initially focus on getting NAP working, and then to go back later on and specify any desired constraints.
Figure F: I recommend waiting until later to impose any constraints
Click next, followed by Finish to complete the configuration process.
RADIUS Client Configuration Policy
In this type of deployment, the Network Policy Server acts as a RADIUS server. Rather than clients performing a direct RADIUS authentication against the Network Policy Server the RRAS server that is acting as a VPN server is going to be acting as the RADIUS client.
The last step in the server configuration process involves providing the Network Policy Server with a list of authorized RADIUS clients. Since the only RADIUS client is going to be the VPN server, you will simply enter the VPN server's IP address. Keep in mind that the RRAS services are running on the same physical server as the Network Policy Services, so you will simply specify the server's own IP address.
To create a RADIUS Client Configuration Policy, navigate through the Network Policy Server console tree to NPS (Local) | RADIUS Clients and Servers | RADIUS Clients. Now, right click on the RADIUS Clients container, and then choose the New RADIUS Client command from the resulting shortcut menu. This will cause Windows to open the New RADIUS Client dialog box.
The first thing that this dialog box requires you to do is to enter a friendly name and an IP address for the new RADIUS client. In a real world deployment, you would enter RRAS as the friendly name and you would enter the RRAS server's IP address into the space provided. As you will recall, this is a lab deployment, and RRAS is running on the same server as the Network Policy Services. Therefore, enter the server's own name and IP address into the spaces provided.
The next field on the dialog box is the Vendor Name field. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what the Vendor Name really does, but the text on the dialog box instructs you to use the RADIUS Standard setting for most deployments. This has worked well for me in the past, so go ahead and select the RADIUS Standard option, if it is not already selected.
The next thing that the dialog box asks for is a shared secret. As with any shared secret, both the client and the server need to be aware of the shared secret. The most secure way of setting up a shared secret is to select the Generate button. When you do, Windows will automatically generate a random shared secret.
Personally, I recommend initially using a nice, simple, manual shared secret. There are two reasons for this. First, not all Windows clients support the use of really long shared secrets. Second, it is really hard to retype a long, random string made up of lots of numbers, letters, and symbols. In the interest of keeping things simple, I recommend choosing the Manual option, and then just using the word RRAS as the shared secret. Once you have gotten NAP working, you can always make it more secure by choosing a longer, more complex shared secret.
The last thing that you need to do is to select the RADIUS Client is NAP Capable check box. The NEW RADIUS Client dialog box should now look like the one that is shown in Figure G. Click OK to complete the configuration process.
Figure G: Enter a shared secret and select the Client is NAP Capable check box
In this article, we have completed the configuration of the Network Policy Server. In Part 7, I will show you how to perform the client configuration portion of the Setup process.

The thymus is the primary site for T-cell development and induction of self-tolerance. Previous approaches towards manipulation of T-cell differentiation have used intrathymic injection of antigens, as proteins, cells or adenoviruses, leading to transient expression of the foreign protein. Lentiviral vectors, due to their unique ability to integrate into the genome of quiescent cells, may be best suited for long-term expression of a transgene in the thymus.
Young adult mice were injected in the thymus with lentiviral vectors expressing eGFP or the hemaglutinin of the Influenza virus under the control of the ubiquitous phospho glycerate kinase promoter. Thymi were examined 5 to 90 days thereafter directly under a UV-light microscope and by flow cytometry. Intrathymic injection of lentiviral vectors predominantly results in infection of stromal cells that could be detected for at least 3 months. Importantly, hemaglutinin expression by thymic stromal cells mediated negative selection of thymocytes expressing the cognate T-cell receptor. In addition and despite the low multiplicity of infection, transduced thymocytes were also detected, even 30 days after injection.
Our results demonstrate that intrathymic delivery of a lentiviral vector is an efficient means for stable expression of a foreign gene in the thymus. This new method of gene delivery may prove useful for induction of tolerance to a specific antigen and for gene therapy of severe combined immunodeficiencies.
The thymus is a bilobate organ derived from embryonic endoderm and mesoderm differentiation and is located just above the heart (reviewed in ). It is the primary organ for maturation of T cells. This process involves the interaction between developing thymocytes and thymic stromal cells. Thymic stromal cells which forms the thymic architecture, have been classified according to their anatomical localization. They encompass a very diverse array of cell types, including cortical and medullar epithelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages and dendritic cells (reviewed in ). Stromal cells control the differentiation of haematopoietic precursors derived from the liver or the bone marrow into T lymphocytes: T-cell differentiation is defined by the acquisition of maturation markers such as CD4, CD8 and the T-cell receptor complex (TCR), which conditions the reactivity of immature thymocytes with thymic stromal cells. The early thymocyte progenitors entering the thymus do not express T-cell-specific molecules, such as CD3, the alpha or beta-chain of the TCR, or the CD4 and CD8 molecules. These CD4-CD8- cells, referred to as double-negative (DN) cells, then become CD4+CD8+, the so-called double-positive (DP) stage, and then progressively acquire TCR molecules. The final maturation of T-cells involves the selective loss of either the CD4 or the CD8 molecules to generate fully mature single-positive (SP) cells with cytotoxic/suppressor or helper/regulator function, respectively.
During this process, the TCR-mediated positive and negative selection of T cells ensures the selection of a diverse TCR repertoire able to react with foreign peptide presented by autologous major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, but tolerant to self-antigens. This property renders the thymus an attractive site for manipulation of T-cell tolerance. To date, results on tolerance induction via direct manipulation of the thymus have been scarce (reviewed in ). However, previous studies using intrathymic (IT) injection of pancreatic islet cells , soluble antigens  or adenoviral vectors [6, 7] have shown that induction of tolerance to foreign antigens in non-immunosuppressed animals is feasible. Since the production and maturation of thymocytes may be a life-long process, a major drawback to the utilisation of soluble antigens or adenoviruses is their short-term expression in the thymus . Indeed, modulation of the selection process should stop upon the disappearance of the antigen, which might be a problem for long-term tolerance induction.
Due to their ability to infect resting cells and to stably integrate into the genome, lentiviral vectors represent powerful new tools for long-term expression of a given transgene in vivo . Lentiviral vectors have been used successfully in vivo to infect hepatocytes and muscle cells , antigen-presenting cells [11, 12], as well as cells of the central nervous system . We reasoned that lentiviral vectors might be better suited than adenoviral vectors for long-term IT expression of a foreign gene. We therefore investigated the pattern of infection of a ubiquitous lentiviral vector after IT injection. We report herein that thymic stromal cells are massively and persistently infected. Developing thymocytes exhibit a significant but low level of infection. Moreover, we show that IT injection of a lentiviral vector encoding the cognate antigen in TCR-transgenic (Tg) mice leads to negative selection of developing thymocytes.
We used a concentrated viral stock of the LvPGK-GFP vector (2.109 TU143B/ml) to inject between 7 × 107 to 1.2 × 108 infectious units in the thymus of normal C57Bl/6 mice. Infected cells could readily be detected at day 5 post-injection by direct examination of the thymi under a UV microscope (figure 1). Of note, transduced cells could still be observed at 1 (figure 1) and 3 months (data not shown) post injection. Most of the transduced cells had a fibroblastic morphology. To monitor a possible passage of the vector through the bloodstream, we checked for the presence of transduced cells in the liver, which is the primary target organ after intravenous injection of lentiviral vectors . We indeed observed numerous eGFP+ cells in the liver (figure 1), suggesting a significant leak into the circulation upon IT injection of up to 30 μl of the vector. Nevertheless, our results demonstrate efficient and persistent infection of thymic stromal cells upon IT injection of a lentiviral vector.

D5: day 5 post-injection localisation of transduced cells around the injection site (arrow) under visible and UV-lights (upper picture). Fibroblast-shaped cells are predominantly transduced (UV-light only) (lower panel). D30: day 30 post-injection expression of eGFP in the thymus (visible + UV-light) (upper panel) and in the liver (UV-light only) (lower panel). CTRL: Thymus (upper panel) and liver (lower panel) pictures from control mice injected IT with PBS examined for background fluorescence under visible and UV-lights. Magnifications are indicated in the lower right corner of each picture.
We next wanted to investigate whether thymic stromal cells infected with a lentiviral vector would be able to mediate negative selection of developing thymocytes. We thus injected a lentiviral vector encoding the HA of the Influenza virus, or eGFP as a control, into the thymus of SFE-Tg mice expressing a TCR specific for a HA protein peptide and for which a clonotypic antibody recognizing the transgenic TCR (clone 6.5) is available . Six days after injection, we analyzed the thymocytes by flow cytometry after thymi dilacerations. The frequency of 6.5+ cells within CD4SP and CD8SP thymocytes is shown in figure 2A for a representative experiment. Intrathymic injection of the LvPGK-HA vector resulted in a diminution in the frequencies of 6.5+ cells within CD4SP by a factor of 2 and by a factor of 5 in CD8SP cells with an almost complete disappearance of 6.5hi cells in the latter subset. Of note is that the intensity of TCR transgenic expression was reduced in CD4SP cells (figure 2A). Overall, we observed a 3.5-fold decrease in the total numbers of thymocytes expressing the specific TCR in mice injected with the LvPGK-HA vector compared to the LvPGK-GFP vector (figure 2B). Our results altogether demonstrate that within a week after intra thymic injection of the LvPGK-HA vector, infected thymic stromal cells efficiently mediated negative selection of HA-specific thymocytes.
Negative selection of developing thymocytes (A) TCR transgenic expression within thymic CD8SP (white) and CD4SP cells (grey) identified by the anti-clonotypic monoclonal antibody 6.5 in SFE-Tg mice six days after IT injection of 40 to 60 ng p24 of the LvPGK-GFP lentiviral vector (n = 2) or of 3.5 to 6 ng p24 of the LvPGK-HA vector (n = 3). Shown are representative profile of two independent experiments. Numbers indicate the frequency of 6.5+ cells (B) Absolute counts of HA-specific thymocytes six days after intra thymic injection of LvPGK-GFP or LvPGK-HA lentiviral vectors. These figures were obtained based on the percentages of total 6.5+ thymocytes determined by flow cytometry as shown in (A). Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test.
We next investigated whether developing T-cells would be infected upon IT injection of the lentiviral vector. Five days post-injection of the LvPGK-GFP vector into the thymus of a normal mouse, very few eGFP+ cells could be detected by flow cytometry within the thymocytes obtained from dilacerated thymi (figure 3). Most of these cells were CD3- cells, and belonged to the DN and DP subsets, showing that infected cells were mostly immature. Interestingly, at day 30 post-injection, we observed more mature eGFP+ cells that expressed CD3 and that belonged to the subsets of CD4SP and CD8SP for more than half of them. This result indicates that infection per se did not interfere with the normal process of T-cell development. Moreover, we observed a similar repartition of CD4/CD8-expressing cells in non-infected eGFP- cells (data not shown). Collectively, these results show that immature thymocytes can be infected by in situ lentiviral infection. However, we were unable to clearly detect infected T-cells in the spleen of injected mice, likely due to their small representation within the pool of mature lymphocytes in the absence of a selective advantage for the transduced thymocytes.

Upper panels: saline-injected control mice (CTRL) and LvPGK-GFP-injected mice at two different time points after injection (D5 and D30) are shown. Lower panels: The profile of CD4/CD8 expression is shown within gated eGFP+ cells.
We report herein that IT injection of a lentiviral vector results in the predominant infection of thymic stromal cells, and to a low level infection of thymocyte progenitors. Significant infection of liver cells was also detected. This observation is reminiscent of what was observed by DeMatteo et al. with adenoviral vectors . Together with the fact that liver cells are main targets of IV-injected lentiviral or adenoviral vectors, this suggest that a significant leak into the circulation does occur upon IT injection of viral vectors. Our in situ analysis suggests that thymic epithelial cells represent the vast majority of infected cells, and studies are underway to more precisely define the cells targeted by IT lentiviral injection. Whatever the proportion of cortical, medullar epithelial cells, or thymic dendritic cells that are transduced, we show here that this results in an antigen presentation that efficiently mediates negative selection of specific thymocytes. This is not due to the injection of a "crude" preparation of viral supernatant that could have non-specifically affected T cell differentiation. Indeed, we injected 10 times lower amounts of p24 from the LvPGK-HA vector than of the LvPGK-GFP vectors, suggesting that negative selection of HA-specific thymocytes was a direct effect of HA expression by thymic stromal cells. This is further supported by the analysis of the frequencies of 6.5+ thymocytes which shows deletion of 6.5hi cells within CD8SP cells, an MHC class-II restricted population in these TCR-transgenic mice . Down modulation of the transgenic TCR and deletion was observed within CD4SP cells. This is reminiscent of the results obtained recently by Trani et al. which showed that intra thymic delivery of increasing dose of the HA peptide in SFE TCR-Tg mice resulted in the down regulation of the transgenic TCR . Therefore, deletion and/or receptor down regulation may act in concert in the negative selection of HA-specific CD4SP cells in SFE transgenic mice.
A very low infection of developing thymocytes was detected. This is not surprising as (i) the multiplicity of infection (ratio of number of infectious units over number of total cells in the thymus) was estimated to be lower than 0.4 and (ii) lentiviral transduction of murine T cells is far less efficient than of human T cells . Since the actual volume that can be injected in a mouse thymus is however limited, we used the highest MOI achievable with our concentrated vectors. It would be interesting to assess if the use of vectors with higher infectious titres or of repeated injections would lead to a better transduction of thymocytes. It should be stressed though that at day 5 after injection, the infected cells represented immature thymocytes not expressing CD3 molecules. At later time points, infection was detected in more mature thymocytes. We believe that this result may have important implications for in vivo gene therapy of severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) affecting T-cell development (reviewed in ). Indeed, most of these diseases are due to monogenic mutations and concerns immature thymocytes, such as in the T-B+NK- deficiencies linked to the common cytokine receptor gamma-c , or to the ZAP-70 protein tyrosine kinase . Our results open the possibility of correcting these developmental blocks through IT delivery of a lentiviral vector expressing a functional molecule. For this particular application, it would be important to avoid transgene expression in the thymic stroma. The use of our recently described T-cell specific lentiviral vector represent an attractive possibility towards this end . Given the tremendous proliferative potential of T cells and the selective advantage that will be provided by the transgene, even a low number of transduced cells should result in a significant T cell reconstitution. This is best exemplified by a unique case of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency in which a reverse mutation occurred in a single early T cell precursor. It was determined that at least 1,000 T cell clones with unique T cell receptor-beta sequences were generated from this precursor and that this diversity seems to be stable over time and provides protection from infections in vivo . Furthermore, our preliminary results show that intra thymic delivery of the ZAP-70 gene by mean of a T-cell specific lentiviral vector in ZAP-70-deficient mice results in the restoration of T-cell development (submitted). The presently described in vivo approach may represent an alternative to gene therapy protocols using cumbersome haematopoietic stem cell manipulation ex vivo prior to their reinfusion in vivo.
Results presented herein may have important implications for the experimental and therapeutic manipulation of the immune system, and notably for tolerance induction and the correction of SCID.
C57Bl/6 mice were obtained from Charles River/IFFA Credo Laboratories (Les Oncins, France) at 6 weeks of age and were used at 8 to 10 weeks-old. SFE TCR-Tg mice  were bred in our own animal facility and were used at 6 to 10 weeks-old. Intrathymic surgery was performed after anesthetic treatment of animals with 40 mg/kg of Pentobarbital (Sanofi-Synthelabo, Gentilly, France). Mid-incision of the lower neck was performed to gain access to the trachea. Incision of the sternum was performed on the first two ribs and gently pulled aside to view the thymus. A single injection of 10 to 30 μl was performed using 0.3 ml Terumo insulin syringes (VWR, Fontenay-sous-bois, France).
The plasmid encoding the lentiviral vector pRRLsin.PPT.hPGK.GFPpre (LvPGK-GFP) has been described elsewhere  (kindly provided by L. Naldini (University of Torino Medical School, Torino, Italy). To construct the plasmid encoding the hemaglutinin (HA) protein of the Influenza virus, BamHI and SalI restriction sites at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively, were added to the cDNA of the HA protein of Influenza virus (H1N1) in the pCIneoHA plasmid (provided by Genethon, Evry, France) by PCR using the Taq polymerase (Invitrogen, Cergy-Pontoise, France). Total PCR products were cloned into the TA vector (Invitrogen), checked for sequence integrity and digested with BamHI/SalI. The plasmid pRRLsin.PPT.hPGK.GFPpre was digested with BamHI/SalI (New England Biolabs, Beverly, Massachussets, USA) to remove eGFP. After ligation, the plasmid pRRLsin.PPT.hPGK.HApre, hereafter referred to as LvPGK-HA, was obtained. To produce lentiviral vectors, a total of 4.106 293T-cells were co-transfected with the transfer vector, the packaging and the envelope plasmids in 10-cm dishes using the calcium phosphate method as described  in DMEM supplemented with serum and antibiotics (Lifetechnologies, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA). Lentiviral supernatants were collected at 18, 42 and 66 hrs post co-transfection in serum-free DMEM supplemented with antibiotics and L-glutamine, and concentrated by ultrafiltration using either the Ultrafree-15 or the Centricon Plus-80 filter devices according to the manufacturer instructions (Millipore, Bedford, Massachussets, USA). Briefly, supernatants were applied to the filter devices and spun at 2000 g for 20 min. at 20°C. Concentrated supernatants were aliquoted and kept at -80°C until use. Viral stocks of the LvPGK-GFP lentiviral vector were titered on 143B cells as previously described . Viral stocks of the LvPGK-GFP and LvPGK-HA vectors were also quantified using a gag p24 ELISA (Zeptometrix, Buffalo, New York, USA).
Whole thymus or liver were excised from injected mice and placed in PBS 1X in a 6-well plate. Pictures of the whole organ were acquired using a DP-11 numeric camera coupled with the CK-40 inverted microscope equipped with a mercury lamp (Olympus France S.A, Rungis, France). Images were processed using Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, California, USA).
Thymi were dilacerated between two frosted slides in 1X PBS supplemented with 3% Fetal Calf Serum (Lifetechnologies). Cell suspensions were numerated and 106 cells were stained with the following monoclonal antibodies (Becton Dickinson Biosciences, le Pont de Claix, France): CD4-APC (allophycocyanin), CD8-CyCr (Cychrome) and either CD3 or pan beta-chain of the TCR-PE (phycoerytrin) or purified anti-clonotypic TCR for the HA peptide SFERFEIFPK presented by MHC class II I-Ed (clone 6.5) () followed by biotinylated anti-rat IgG2b and streptavidin-FITC. Data were collected on a FACScalibur (BD Biosciences) and analysed with FlowJo software (TreeStar, Ashland, Oregon, USA).
We would like to acknowledge Dr H. von Boehmer for providing us SFE TCR-Tg mice. The contributions of Enguerran Mouly for production of the lentiviral vector LvPGK-GFP, Béatrice Levacher for construction of the LvPGK-HA lentiviral vector, Mélanie Dodille and Nadège Carrié for production and titration of the LvPGK-HA vector were essential to this work. The authors are also undebtful to Dr B. Salomon and to Dr N. Taylor for suggestions and critical reading of the manuscript.
This work was supported by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Agence Nationale de Recherche sur le SIDA (ANRS), SIDAction, Association Française contre les Myopathies (AFM) and the Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale (FRM).
GM devised and realised the experiments, analysed the data and wrote the manuscript. DK conceptualised the study and edited the manuscript.

Home Features Editor's Picks The Tale of the Head-Turning Boot Bag
The Tale of the Head-Turning Boot Bag
Elliott Gould
On skis at 18 months. Buck Hill. The U.S. Ski Team at age 17. World Cup racing and NorAm slalom titles. Graduating from the University of Denver in just three years.
Sterling Grant Babbitt has plenty of feathers in her ski racing cap. But the latest comes from an unlikely place: a boot bag.
Not just any boot bag, however. This boot bag pictured above and below — inspired by the fashion that Sterling saw around the Alps, and by the frustration she had as a serious racer.
Midwest Roots, Global Reach
Coached by the legendary Erich Sailer at Buck Hill, Sterling competed for the U.S. Ski Team from 2005 to 2010. "When I traveled around the world for ski racers, I'd see all the stylish ski outfits," she says. "But there were no fashionable boot bags."
Sterling kept that fact in mind as she studied at and raced for DU (fans may remember her undefeated slalom season and national title in 2011), where she began making a prototype for a better boot bag. After graduating in 2013, she partnered with her mother, Stephanie O'Keefe, to found the high-fashion, high-function boot bag company Sterling O'Keefe.
Ski racer turned fashion designer sews up the Levi World Cup course in 2009. GEPA.
Stephanie is no slouch in ski racing, either. She competed in Michigan in the '60s and represented the University of Wisconsin-Madison before becoming a coach and PSIA instructor. When Sterling began racing at Buck Hill, Stephanie drove the 90 minutes there, and the 90 minutes back home.
"Ski racing in the Midwest created a strong dynamic between my mom and me," says Sterling. "I know we bonded quite a bit from spending so many hours in the car together, but also, we're a team."
That dynamic enabled them to go into business together, says Sterling, and to handle the demands of their quickly growing company. Slovakian star Veronika Velez-Zuzulova is an ambassador of the product, and Snow Magazine chose Sterling O'Keefe as one of its top 5 boot and ski bags for this season, a big publicity bonus.
What's Inside and What's Ahead
Unlike traditional boot bags that send some racers scrabbling for stuff in on a snowy hill, Sterling O'Keefe starts with athletes' needs. "It's not ideal being in the start area and not being able to find what you need," says Sterling, "or having to hang a piece of clothing on the outside of your bag because there wasn't enough room inside."
Then there are the other people on the sidelines. "Our bags are also designed for parents who end up hauling a lot of their kids' gear or spare equipment," says Sterling, "and want to have it compartmentalized while also looking stylish. This fall we'll actually be releasing some of our smaller backpacks, which is exciting. As far as big picture goes, eventually I would like to move towards apparel design, but right now I'm really trying to keep my focus on what's directly in front of me."

Latest news and features
from Sri Chinmoy Centres around the world.
3100 film events around the world
3100: Run and Become was released last year in the US and since then has been opening in countries around the world. The documentary explores long-distance running in cultures around the world, including the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race. Here are just a few of the things that have been happening around the world:
There have been screenings of the documentary all over the US during 2018 and 2019. Scott Fauble, a top American marathoner (2:09), came to a screening in Flagstaff in September; he published a top-selling diary of his fall training season and mentioned that watching the documentary made his workouts seem a lot easier! Chris McDougall, author of the famous ultrarunning book Born to Run, hosted a screening of the movie in New York in February and commented that the film was one of the best running films he had seen. Dr. Dan Lieberman, a subject of Born to Run and one of the world's pre-eminent evolutationary biologists, hosted a screening at Harvard University the weekend of the Boston Marathon. He absolutely loved the film and how it linked running to prayer, remarking how there also exists tribal communities in India who run long distances with that very attitude.
The film is available now to watch online in the US and Canada.
Watch on: iTunes • Google Play • Amazon
Trailer for '3100: Run and Become'
Asprihanal and Ushika being interviewed for national TV
In January, Sofia was the first European capital to present the premier, which was screened in the National Home of Culture. The premier was attended by Ashprihanal Aalto, the men's record holder and Ushika Muckenhummer, who competed in the race last year for the first time. They were joined by some of Bulgaria's best ultrarunners: Hristo Tsvetkov, 12 and 24 hour Bulgarian recordholder; Krasse Georgiev, the only Bulgarian to finish Badwater; Todor Dimitrov "El Capitan" national record holder for the 6-day race. After the movie, Krasse Georgiev commented "While I was watching the movie I thought to myself: 'What I do is a summer vacation in comparison with what these boys do.'" The film has also been invited to screen in the International Red Cross Film Festival in Varna this summer; the festival director, Bozhidar Manov had some very nice things to say about the film. The premiere was broadcast on the national TV station, along with an interview with Ashprihanal and Ushika.
In February, the Indonesian premiere took place in Denpasar. The film's director, Sanjay Rawal, was on hand to answer questions, along with many 3100 mile runners, including the women's record holder, Kaneenika Janakova from Slovakia.
Conference on interfaith spirituality
Members of the Miami Sri Chinmoy Centre recently helped to organise a very successful interfaith conference in Assisi, Italy, which sought to examine how spirituality can play a role in bringing about a more just, peaceful, sustainable and happier world.
The conference was organized and planned by Elisabetta Ferrero of our Miami Centre, with the help of a talented international steering committee. Elisabetta, a professor of Global Studies at St. Thomas University in Miami, was joined at the conference by fellow Miami Centre member Durjaya Thomas Pliske, who is also a university professor. Assisi was chosen because it is the birthplace of St. Francis (1182-1226) who is widely honored as the patron saint of the environment. The delegates came from many backgrounds: environmentalists, organic agriculture, religious and non-religious spiritual groups, U.N. affiliates, supporters of the Earth Charter, indigenous cultures, scientists, the business-legal community, social and environmental justice advocates, educators and philosophers.
The conference members also had a two-hour meeting in the Vatican with Cardinal Turkson, who has been selected by Pope Francis to work out the practical implementation of the message in Laudato Si, a papal encyclical which Pope Francis calls on all the world's people to work together to preserve Mother Nature and make the world fairer. A day of the conference was given over to discussing this encyclical.
Cardinal Turkson with the conference members.
During his lifetime, Sri Chinmoy founded several initiatives to keep the dream alive for a better and more harmonious world, and participated in many interfaith initiatives in order to illustrate the underlying unity of different religions and spiritual paths. (more on our interfaith page)
"If we live in our oneness-heart, we will feel the essence of all religions which is the love of God. Forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, brotherhood and the feeling of oneness are the signs of a true religion."
Sri Chinmoy 1
Sri Chinmoy offers the opening meditation at the Parliament of World Religions, 1993
For his part in the conference, Durjaya offered a heart-centred meditation to the group and offered his own thoughts on these important goals of human endeavour. Speaking about the conference, Durjaya writes:
"Representing the Sri Chinmoy Centre, an organization devoted to promoting spiritual awakening, practice and service, I had the opportunity to share and work with seekers from other paths, some based in established religions (Christianity, Buddhism, Shinto) and also from indigenous shamanic traditions. Although we had diverse approaches to spiritual Truth, we all had in common the understanding that there is no separation of self-transformation and world-transformation. They go hand in hand.
Whatever illumination we receive from our individual sadhana (spiritual work) to purify, illumine and transform our individual lives, that progress is spread into the world consciousness. This is true whether we progress through prayer, the creative arts, meditation, mental expansion and inclusiveness, selfless love and dedicated service or a yoga that combines all these." - Read full article by Durjaya

Start of the 3100 Mile Race 2019


It began within minutes of the ignoble elimination of Canada's team from the NHL playoffs at the hands of the ultimately quite vincible New York Rangers.
Fair enough. Hockey was in effect done with the end of the Habs' overachieving run. Tonight, it may well and truly be done — and just in time for the World Cup.
Yet, I cannot but think these hockey fans will be crestfallen when they realize Canada has no chance of winning the World Cup either. Cheering for the hometeam is, alas, not an option.
Yet cheer we will. Most of us will simply pick a country to root for, perhaps based on family history, cuisine or spiffy uniforms. We'll be anxiously watching. And while I have no idea whose voice we will trust to bring us the play-by-play, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it will be someone who hails from England.
It's a Canadian tradition, you see, to rely on an Englishman for expert advise on the fairly attractive game.
Why an Englishman, you ask?
I've asked myself the same question. I mean, nothing against the English (see reference to family history, above) but — and correct me if I'm wrong here — the last (and only) time England brought home the World Cup of Soccer, the Toronto Maple Leafs were preparing to embark on a Stanley Cup-winning season. That's right, since 1966 England and the Leafs have won precisely the same number of championships. And that includes the Euro Cup (which neither England nor Toronto has ever won).
By contrast this year's host country, Brazil, has won the World Cup five times — three of those victories coming since England's lone Cup triumph. Surely, if no Canadian is available to call play-by-play for the tournament, there's a Brazilian announcer willing to give it a go. After all, to most North Americans the most exciting thing about soccer is the cry of "Gooooooooooal!" closely associated with South American announcers. Can't we at least have that? Or perhaps an Italian or German announcer? You know, someone from a nation that knows how to win the World Cup.
I contacted CBC and Sportsnet, broadcasters for the Cup, to ask why soccer on telly relies so heavily on English accents. A CBC representative issued a telling reply: "The actual games are called by FIFA's own people, so we have no control over that." Sportsnet has yet to respond, but is presumably in the same boat. That means having to turn to FIFA for answers. And, uh, I won't hold my breath on that one. The most likely explanation, I suppose, is that FIFA limited its search for English-speaking announcers, to England. Makes sense, really. You win this round, FIFA.
And so Canadians prepare to immerse themselves in the games, despite having no hometeam to root for. Not unlike the Super Bowl, or Wimbledon (though there's hope for tennis). And if there's a curious Eurocentricity to soccer coverage in Canada — the Africa's Cup of Nations, for example, is routinely ignored, as is the Copa América, while the Euro Cup gets plenty of attention — perhaps we should take it up with FIFA. After first making sure FIFA is in a good mood.
For now, with Canada's quest for the Cup foiled, let us bask in the rest of the world's quest for the Cup. After all, as supporters of the game never tire of telling us, soccer is wildly popular everywhere but on this continent. Thankfully, they do not employ the same logic to encourage us to endure the Eurovision Song Contest. Or Snow beer.
So bring on the players, the matches, the accents. We will be watching. And listening.
And properly shouting "Huzzah!" along with the announcer as each goal is scored.
After all, hockey is done.

Q: WTForms: How to render an HTML5 Widget? I'm trying to use the WTForms color input field.
This is how I define the form:
from wtforms.widgets.html5 import ColorInput

class ColoursForm(Form):
   background_color = ColorInput()

This is the view:
@app.route("/colours/<token>/", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def edit_colours(token):
   form = ColoursForm(request.form)
   if request.method == 'GET':
       return render_template('colours_edit.html', form=form, token=token)
   else:  # Request = post

      return redirect(url_for('view_scoreboard', token=token))

In my Jinja2 Template (colours_edit.html) I do this:
<p> {{ form.background_color }} Pick a color here </p>

However, it doesn't render an HTML Color-picker as expected, instead I see this in the rendered HTML:

<wtforms.widgets.html5.ColorInput object at 0x10b836e90> Pick a color
here

Why is the input not being rendered?

A: I worked it out. There were 2 problems with my code:
I was missing () here:
<p> {{ form.background_color() }} Pick a color here </p>

The form should look this:
class ColoursForm(Form):
"""Used when editing scoreboard colours"""
   background_color = StringField(widget=ColorInput())

From this Stackoverflow answer.
Finally, I've got to say that the WTForms documentation is not very good on this. Some examples would certainly help.

New Café Opens on Bustling Vernon Boulevard Corner, Replaces Shuttered Dorian Café
Black Star Bakery and Kitchen opened on the busy corner of Vernon Boulevard and 50th Avenue Thursday (Photo: Michael Dorgan, Queens Post)
March 12, 2021 By Michael Dorgan
A Long Island City couple have opened their latest café on the bustling corner of Vernon Boulevard and 50th Avenue, where the Dorian Café was located.
Black Star Bakery and Kitchen, which is owned by Long Island City residents Dan and Odehel Magor, opened Thursday at 10-01 50th Ave.– next to the Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue subway station.
The café/restaurant has undergone a complete overhaul since the owners took over the 1,500 square foot space last year.
The Dorian Cafe closed in November 2019. The space was taken over midway through last year by Dan and Odehel Magor (Image provided by Dan Magor)
The husband-and-wife duo have painted over the faded orange exterior that was synonymous with the Dorian, freshening it up with bright white paint.
The old canopies have been torn down and replaced with new black ones bearing the company name and logo.
"We want[ed] to add more color and life to the corner because that's what it needs," Magor told the Queens Post in October when he started working on the space.
"It's been dull for a long time but we are going to give it some style, a nice finish and make it look really nice," he added.
Inside, the café features white walls, porcelain tile counters, black menu boards and black chairs. The old booths, a feature of the diner, have been removed. There is also outdoor seating on 50th Avenue.
The couple have four other eateries, with one located at 2-10 50th Ave., two in Manhattan and another in Williamsburg.

The new venue is similar to the couple's other locations, offering sandwiches, pastries and breakfast items. Black Star also serves Mediterranean-style food such as shakshuka, hummus, and mezze. In addition, the café has a juice bar.
The café has a more extensive menu than its other locations since it has a larger kitchen, Dan Magor told the Queens Post last year.
The word "kitchen" has been added to the name of the café to signify the change. The other eateries are called "Black Star Bakery and Café."
The Magors, who are both from Israel, live in Hunters Point and have a young son. They opened their first Black Star in Williamsburg in 2014 while their other Long Island City establishment opened in 2017.
The new café is open Mondays through Sundays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the company's Facebook page.
The exterior of the new Black Star is similar to its other venues. East 24th Street (L) and Williamsburg (R) (Instagram).
Nice! March 15th, 2021
Location on 50th is great. Pricing same as everything else in LIC (hey, high rents, high prices, don't shoot the business owner). Establishment is always clean, staff is always friendly, and the food and drinks are fresh and consistent. Continued success to the black star family.
Mundek March 13th, 2021
Pistachio muffins are good and fairly priced…. raspberry croissants too sweet and overpriced to match.
Hopefully they can survive the death valley that has become LIC.
Anonymous March 12th, 2021
I hope the new owners include Vegan and Gluten Free options, if so, then I will be a customer, if not……
The place looks great. But it would look even better with a few cop cars parked on the sidewalk.

Slipstream Saturday: Looking to Melbourne
September 4, 2020 March 14, 2015 by Ava Ladner
Frontstretch will be expanding its Formula 1 coverage this year. Look for more regular columns covering the sport.
Formula 1 has gotten its season started this weekend in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. There's all kinds of different stories as things get going, so here's a recap and preview for the opener.
To begin, the ongoing court case between the Sauber team and their (possible) driver Geido van der Garde continued taking strange twists this week. After both the Swiss and Australian courts upheld that van der Garde should be given a seat, as the driver claimed, the team first sat out the first practice, then ignored the ruling and sent out their duo of Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr. Making this decision more interesting is that the Australian courts basically stated that they would impound Sauber's gear should the team not comply with the ruling – presumably post-race. Adding further intrigue is that Sauber's team principal, Monisha Kaltenborn, is a lawyer, which would seem to posit that she might have known how to better handle this situation but failed. However, it Kaltenborn's acumen that very may well have put the two drivers the team preferred in the cars as she may have negotiated some kind of deal with van der Garde. This case will be worthwhile to watch, as drivers that are essentially buying their seats has become more prevalent in F1. In addition, Kaltenborn may have been able to keep van der Garde out of the car this weekend due to safety concerns owing to the fact that he has not yet turned a lap for them this season.
The partnership between McLaren and Honda is off to a terrible start. Some issues were expected and no one predicted that they would suddenly pace the field, but so far things have gone much worse than that. To begin, they struggled in testing, never able to run enough laps to determine the reliability nor to figure out how it would handle. Next, their star signing of Fernando Alonso has shown no benefits as yet because he suffered a concussion during testing in Barcelona. While he is symptom-free, Alonso is being held out of this race to ensure that a second injury doesn't bring about a worse situation. Hence, it's Jenson Button and reserve driver Kevin Magnussen behind the wheel in Melbourne. So far things look bleak. The McLarens were more than five seconds off the pace in qualifying. Button did his best to seem optimistic, saying that they knew that the team would need time to gel, but surely even he didn't think that things would be so bad from the get go. For the once-mighty McLaren team, this kind of start is beyond peculiar.
This year's drivers will be the youngest group in the history of the sport with four rookies taking to the grid. Taking the two seats at Toro Rosso (or Red Bull Jr.) are Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz Jr., whose father won two World Rally championships. The previously mentioned Nasr is also new to the sport. The other two rookies are in a tight spot. Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi will be taking the two rides at Manor Racing. The problem with that statement is that Manor is still struggling to actually become a team after ascending from the ashes of Marussia. The team didn't get a wheel on the track during any of the practice sessions and then failed to even attempt to qualify. If they're able to start the race from the paddock it will be a surprise.
Since 1996, the Australian Grand Prix has been held at Albert Park in Melbourne. Attendance has been strong, holding an average of over 100,000 on race day. The track is a quick 16-turn, 3.3 mile one with Michael Schumacher and Lex Davison holding the record for wins with four. Among active drivers, Button leads the way with three wins, which likely makes the struggles he is feeling with McLaren feel worse as he looks to one of his best tracks.
With the Mercedes duo of defending champion Lewis Hamilton and runner-up Nico Rosberg pacing the field, it looks like the battle will be for who stands third on the podium, as they took first and second in qualifying, respectively. The two likely teams to take the position are Williams-Martini and Ferrari. That Williams should be there isn't a surprise, as they feature a Mercedes engine and showed promise last year. But Ferrari is a bit of a shock, as they were relatively terrible last year. Perhaps all of the changes the team went through during the 2014 season and then the offseason are taking shape. New Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel looked like he might secure the third spot in qualifying, but was pipped by Felipe Massa in the Williams.
Red Bull looks like they don't quite have the pace as the aforementioned teams, with Toro Rosso looking a bit more promising. The team that might be the most interesting to watch is Lotus, who switched to Mercedes engines and looks to be seeing an increase in performance.
On the slow end of the timesheet, the question will be whether or not Manor even puts wheels on the track. Or, if you want to play a game, try to figure out how long it will take for a McLaren car to be lapped (laps are taking about 1:26 or so for the leaders which would mean that lap 20 could be the mark).
Coverage begins on NBCSN at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 15. Enjoy.

Arguably the most popular team is Manor. The team supposedly has over 300000 Twitter follows. Seems that there problem is that the servers were wiped of data in anticipation of their being auctioned off. Hopefully they can get everything reinstalled prior to the next race.

Who is Cardi B's Sister Hennessy Carolina?
12/02/2019 Bs, Cardi, H, is, Sister, Who
Cardi B exploded into fame. Although she was relatively unheard of a few years ago, she's launched herself into the limelight, and she's now a household name. She doesn't take her influence lightly, either. She's gotten political this year, and has talked policy with some presidential candidates. She hopes to stay informed so she can help her fans make the right decision in the voting booth.
It turns out Cardi is not the only famous one in her family. Her sister, Hennessy Carolina, isn't quite as big as she is. Still, Hennessy has a strong social media presence, and she's taking steps to become a big name like her sister.
Hennessy has worked as a model
In fact, her name was on a whole fashion line. Last year, Hennessy partnered with Boohoo for the Boohoo x Hennessy Carolina collection. The line came out just in time for the holidays, and Hennessy modeled the clothes for the campaign.
The photos were taken by Charlotte Rutherford, and styled by William Lenov. The theme of the campaign was "No More Parties." In the pics, Hennessy can be seen posing in empty party venues, wearing the looks from her line.
The clothes Hennessy designed are party looks and feature a ton of bright colors and shine. They're not dissimilar to what her sister, Cardi, would wear. However, if the Boohoo collection is any example, Hennessy definitely has her own style.
She's a talented makeup artist
This is the finished product 👏🏿Henny did pretty good i like it 💕💕
A post shared by CARDI NOTICED ME ☁💕 (@gangsta_cardib_) on Oct 6, 2019 at 6:47am PDT
Cardi B recently posted a video of herself after her sister Hennessy did her makeup. She joked that she doesn't need a makeup artist anymore, since her sister did a perfect job of creating Cardi's signature look.
The two were on vacation together in the Dominican Republic, so apparently Cardi's usual makeup artist wasn't available. Her artist has said that Cardi is very picky about her makeup, so we know Hennessy must have done a really good job.
Hennessy is only 23, and she's already showing a lot of talent in multiple areas. We're excited to see what she'll do next. It's likely she'll end up as famous as her sister.
Hennessy gave Cardi B her nickname
Cardi B is not the rapper's real name. Legally, Cardi B's name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar. Hennessy's full name is Hennessy Carolina Almanzar. Growing up, Hennessy called Cardi 'Bacardi' after the alcoholic beverage. Since Hennessy was named after alcohol, she gave her sister a similar name. Later, Cardi changed the nickname to Cardi B.
Hennessy and Cardi are very close. They're about four years apart. Hennessy is 23, and Cardi is 27. They obviously still travel together, and Hennessy loves being an aunt to Cardi's daughter, baby Kulture.
In fact, Hennessy accidentally revealed Kulture's gender on Instagram before Cardi was ready. Hennessy posted a moving note to her sister on the platform after Cardi publically announced her pregnancy. She mentioned how she couldn't wait to see the baby and "give her all the kisses and hugs."
Fans immediately noticed the use of the female pronoun, and guessed that Cardi was carrying a girl. Hennessy removed the pronoun and replaced it with gender-neutral language, but the cat was already out of the bag.
Now, Hennessy is instrumental in helping Cardi survive life as a working mom. Cardi doesn't feel comfortable leaving baby Kulture with strangers, so her ability to work depends on a family member being able to watch the baby. Hennessy steps in and cares for her niece when Cardi needs her, in addition to the help Cardi gets from her mom.

This header's usage in the *nix-based builds is not known, and needs to be checked to ensure that it is still not being actively used. If it is, an alternative solution to the issue needs to be looked into.
Ubuntu and Mac OS X builds do not complain during the compiling process about the inclusion of "sys/timeb.h", however OpenBSD does. This does not affect any Windows builds. It is not yet known if FreeBSD is also affected or not.
This appears to be related to the header file and its referenced function of "ftime" being deprecated in modern versions of *nix-based and BSD-based operating systems. The reference needs to be replaced within MTAServer to correct the problem.


Women are gold diggers!!! It is just a fact of life. If your nice and have no money they dont want your. Sorry but its true.
That's something I've found to be true in majority case.
On to topic at hand. It doesn't matter much what people look like, the body is just a shell for the mind and soul. If you actually talked with a lot of women who were ugly, then a lot who were hot, you'd see that there's no real way to know what they are like without getting to know them. I've only seen the whole airhead hot girl deal in very specific situations, in everyday life however it's very different. Though I've still yet to find the beautiful gal with a personality befitting of a goddess outside of my dreams.
Why do hot girls never give a chance to an average looking guy?
I dont know what age group of "hot" you are looking at, but being "hot" as you put it, requires work after 24. Diet, excercise, skin care, upkeep in general. Alot of woman who are "hot" generally strive to excell at alot of things like there career and character as well. Taking care of their looks just goes along with that. And all of this is what makes a girl HOT!!!
So face it, if you think you are average looking, and you want a "hot woman", you better start working at improving other things in your life.
date "average" women who have similiar interests to you. I promise you there is nothing hotter than someone you like looking at you and saying "I like you so much"!!!!!! after a few dates.
It doesn't matter what men or women say is their truth or experience...some people are going to believe myths no matter what. (example) It's like the thread(s) about women only caring about money... 100 women will say that's not the case..a few will admit that for them it's true, but some guys aren't listening.. they just go on believing what they want to believe. If you really want to LEARN..let go of your bitterness and preconcieved ideas and LISTEN for pete's sake.
It seems a bit ridiculous to me for people to ask questions and then reject the answers. And it makes for redundancy and extremely boring threads that go round and round.
As far as "hot women" giving "average" guys a chance.. why should they? (I really can't speak for hot women but I'm sure there are a few who think this way) Average is boring... if you want something to change in your life then do what it takes to change the one thing you have control over....YOU. It is NOT all about looks.... it's about charisma, personality, energy, ambition...personality. I've always wondered about all these profiles of men who describe themselves as "an average" guy... which to me reads as boring, dull and basically not very interesting. NEXT. Not a very good selling point... maybe a course in marketing might help.
why do hot guys or AVERAGE guys never give a chance to the AVERAGE or BELOW AVERAGE looking women?
Do they not find them appealing enough?
could it be for the same reason hot women don't date average or below average men???
So, IN THEORY, most attractive women will tell you they'd be open to dating an average guy. But, short of ending up alone on a desert island with one, it'll likely never happen.
I have dated average or even slightly below average looking men because of their personality, intelligence, shared common interests etc. Not every man will find me attractive, but the men that are interested in me usually think I'm attractive.
Because the selection of guys available to them means they don't have to.
Better looking people have more people wanting to date them. Uglier looking people have fewer people wanting to date them. People will generally pick the best of whats available to them. If the hot gals/guys have no shortage of people wanting to date them, why should they go for average?
Wow. Anyone else notice this thread has been running since January 2005? Three plus years! And still no answers for either gender, apparently. The answer for me is that average men and women can, and do, date above average people in the looks department. It is just a lot harder. Someone with the looks get a direct foot in the door more often than not. But that is all it will get them, if they have no other redeeming qualities. Someone without the looks has to have the chance to show they are above average in the ways that count, and getting that chance is the challenge. It can be done, you just have to work a lot harder at it than someone above average looking. Life ain't fair. Just the way it is.
Unfortunately, when you translate this into the cyber dating scene, you will rarely be given the chance to prove your worth. Women, in particular, have so many choices as it is, with so many more men than women on sites like this. They have the luxury of being choosy and will naturally look to the good lookers first. And who can blame them? A guy would do the same thing if the situation were reversed.
Bottom line, most of the time the average looking guy has little chance of ever getting an attractive woman to respond to them unless they are VERY clever in their approach.
Why would a woman ever think her beauty was too good for me?
Such a superficial woman doesn't deserve to be with me. It's these qualities that matter.
And my question is, where are the average - below average girls? Don't be so afriad to speak up, im not so discriminate.
They may not have to, but many will, if you give them a reason to date you. Women may appreciate good looking guys, but they don't place nearly as much emphasis on looks as guys do.
Who do you ask out?
Women may appreciate good looking guys, but they don't place nearly as much emphasis on looks as guys do.
I disagree. I think women generally care about looks just as much as men do. There are plenty of women ( especially on dating sites ) that wouldn't date short men, bald men, men with long hair, fat men, skinny men etc.
I just think everyone is looking for the "Bigger Better Deal".
I'm just going by my own personal experience. I'm pretty average looking and I'm not especially tall, but I've always had very attractive girlfriends (e.g. one was runner up for Miss Southwest Texas - she was 1 inch taller than me.) They could have certainly done better in the looks department.
Fair enough. I guess my personal experiences have been different. I know women who care about looks to some extent. But they consider other things such as personality to be more important. I know other women who put a major emphasis on looks. Even though many of these women are average looking at best. Same thing applies to men that I know.
I know other women who put a major emphasis on looks. Even though many of these women are average looking at best.
That is certainly true. I'm unlikely to charm my way into a date with those women, but that's the way it goes. I've noticed the same thing about the sort of average women you mention. Often, they seem to be picky to the extent you'd think you were in an episode of the Twilight Zone and much pickier than much more attractive women. Fortunately, women usually expect guys to make first contact. All they can do is say no.
Have you tried asking out an "average" looking girl, yourself?
Don't judge a book by its cover. You might never know that the average looking girl might have all the qualities you might be looking for.
One man's "average looking girl" is another man's Goddess. It's relative.
Actually I thought it was a pretty successful shot at humor instead of a narrative on how genetics plays into the looks of children.
If you were getting 20-100 emails a day from women of all shapes and sizes, would you give the plain janes or even the fat/ugly ones a shot? Or would you only try with the hot women?
Actually, I see lots of hot girls dating average-looking guys.
I see lots of hot girls dating absolute****eads, too.
With hot-looking girls, a high percentage of the time I'm saying, "How did HE get HER?"
Just keep trying. Any man regardless of how he looks physically can get the finest woman on earth. Don't think about looks. Ladies are entranced by the masculinity of a man than what he physically looks like.
Men come a dime a dozen for so-called "hot" women. They can get any man they want with totally no effort. Men just drool all over them and foolishly spend all of their money on them.


Activerain Blog 101 Class a Success!
Home/ Activerain Blog 101 Class a Success!
Yesterday was our very First class on blogging for the Solano Association of Realtors members. I had Mike Mueller come from Patagonia Finance, (Another AR member nearby) join me in introducing Blogging and Activerain. There were about 40 people or so who attended our class. It was a great eye opener for many just starting to understand what blogging even is. We had surveys filled out at the end, and are still reviewing the great comments and feedback. The majority of this group just wanted to know. what is a blog? Mike put together his presentation on his website for easy future access. I found this to be very helpful for us and for the group! 5 reasons to blog, 10 things to never do when blogging, and 101 things to blog about. I hope you'll take on a support role in your community to get the word out about AR and Localism. The best way to promote anything worth it's salt, is by word of mouth and referral. We charged $5.00 per person and then gave the money back to a charity for local teachers called" The Teachers Wish List" foundation. This money goes to our local school teachers to help them with supplies and things they need to do their jobs more efficiently. Everyone came away happy and educated, therefore, I feel the class was a total success. The follow-up training is to teach each of the new AR members in our area, how to navigate, and utilize AR for blogging, networking, building referrals, and getting SEO. 3 weeks ago, I had no idea what blogging was, or why I should even consider doing it. Today, I still have many questions on a lot of things, but I am learning and growing as I go along. Great Stuff!
I also wanted to let other AR members know that since I joined the network 3 weeks ago, my website has gone to the top of the search engines. I get alot of hits on Agent Assist 5.0 free software, marketing tips and information, and now I get alot of views on my online customer service order page. I am very grateful to Activerain for all their support and guidance. The members are great, the support is unbelievable, the networking is priceless, and the benefits are awesome. I used to get 1-2 hits on my website a day, now I get over 20 hits a day, and they are sticky hits. Some are in my site for up to 15 minutes at a time. All this thanks to reading some of the posts on how to make your blog work for you. Content is King, but there are definately some tricks to the trade, and they can be found right here in the AR network. Now, I'm going to do a little less posting, alot more reading and research, and see where the next level takes me. I did make some adjustments to my website thanks to some of your feedback and comments. Feel free to check it out, I always love good corrective critisism. If your friends and clients won't tell you what's wrong or what needs improvement, than who will?
To those of you hooked on the AR network, we salute you!

While in the process of setting up my new shop, I needed some way to organize and store a bunch of small hand tools. A length of PVC pipe and a few screws solved the problem.
Comments/suggestions and ratings are always welcome, and almost always responded to.
Using PVC (or ABS) pipe of a diameter appropriate for your storage needs (I used 1-1/2") cut sections with one square end and one sharply angled end.
I cut the sharp end at 62 degrees because that is the steepest angle my saw can be set at.
Making small tick marks on the base of the saw itself and aligning the pipe to them (rather than measuring every individual piece) greatly speeds up the process. Cut each end of your pipe at the angle, reset the saw to square, and then cut off the sections. Repeat.
A note on using salvaged pipe- if the pipe has been around for a while, it may be a little brittle. When you are cutting pipe with a power saw, it may shatter. Take appropriate precautions.
Using a punch, nail, or awl, make a divot about 5/8" up from the point of the pipe section and start a wood screw into it.
Make a level mark on the wall to align the points to. Screw each piece to the wall, snugging the screw up firmly.
If you are putting anything edged in the holders, you should cram a piece of foam in the bottom of them, as part of the screw is exposed inside.
I did this against a fairly rough wall (painted OSB). Smoother walls may require a dab of hot glue at the top of the angled cut to keep the holders from rotating. On the OSB, even with some heavy cold chisels in them, mine stay put well.
"Nesting" the holders against the row above adds a lot more stability, too.
Try drilling a hole the size of a #6 or #8 Robertson screw through the PVC, and then drill a hole the size of your #6 or #8 screwdriver, on the outermost side of the pipe, thus allowing you to use the screwdriver to fasten the pipe to the board Also countersink the inside hole, so that the screw does not scratch any items that are being held in place by the PVC pipe. I would use a 5/16" drill bit for the countersink bit, this should be very close to the diameter of the #6 screw head.
Nope, haven't had.a problem yet, and some of them are really loaded down.
I absolutely detest pegboard. I installed it my garage (before i knew better). Hooks would come out with the tool you grab and invariably get lost. Plywood and a screw...BOOM done! PVC can be cut to hold darn near anything.
For something a little safer & cleaner to cut the PVC with, use a cutting disk designed for metal or masonry in your mitre saw, rather than a timber blade.. ie use an abrasive disk (like a big version of what you'd normally use on an angle grinder) rather than a toothed sawblade. That way there's nothing to 'catch' on the brittle PVC and break it up.
Agreed. If I had a dedicated metal-cutting chopsaw, I would use it. I don't want to use an abrasive blade in my saw, though, because I don't want to get abrasive bits all over the same saw I use for trim/finish carpentry.
Cool! Curious tho, why so many plumbbobs?
I think you are looking at the chalklines, which are shaped like plum bobs, but don't work well for that purpose. From left to right: Thick black, for heavy permanent lines, like on concrete foundations; thin black, for precision permanent lines (used most frequently); red, for permanent corrections of black lines; blue, for temporary lines that need to be erased eventually (like wall lines on a concrete slab that will be exposed, or on beams and logs); white, for lines on tar paper for roofing, or for handrail lines on staircase walls that already have the finish paint on them (it wipes right off).
If you use powered concrete dye, the chalk lines become permanent.
Hi, thanks for your reply. I used to paint commercial signs, sometimes on walls and i've used those chalklines, but I guess my old instructor probably referred to them as plum bobs and it stuck. I have used it to make sure of a vertical line too. My instructor said everyone has some astigmatism, and I know I surely do. I can look at the edge of a building sometimes and see a curve! Guess I'd make a horrible carpenter! lol!
Like most DIY'ers, I have multiples of most tools, and thought about using PVC pipe to store my surplus sockets in. making a pipe for each size, I could just cut a small opening at the bottom, (sort of like the picture of the dowel rod storage)and pull out the desired socket, use it, then drop it back in the top of the tube when finished.
Taking it a step further, connect the tubes in a circular pattern, and set them up to rotate like a 'lazy susan' type thing. This would take up less wall space, but more benchtop area. Has anyone tried this?
I like this. Very good idea.
good storage idea.better if mounted on 3/4" plywood board and attached to the wall.
The wall itself is plywood, OSB really.
Great idea, somewhat heavy duty as well- which will definetely come in handy for storing craft blades!
Great idea! I've been trying to think up a way to store my screw drivers in a neat and convenient way (besides drilling holes in wood and sticking them in, which makes them top heavy and wobbly). I'm going to implement your idea, but on a large piece of plywood, to make it movable. I'm constantly rearranging my garage layout so I rarely attach things to the walls.
Thanks. If you made an A-frame out of the plywood (like a sidewalk sign, but bigger) and figured the angles correctly, the pipe pieces would stand straight up. Just a thought.
Good thinking. Could then use some hinges and string (hemp) to make the A frame fold-able/collapsible, with a handle (hemp again), for even more move-ability (even storage, if you're not using them constantly). I like it.


Beautiful dress! There's another John William Waterhouse painting called, "I am Half Sick of Shadows," said the Lady of Shalott" that I just love, partly for its fiber related theme.
This is still a lovely dress, and good for you for keeping your clothes from high school (not to mention still fitting into them!). I think I must still be in that romantic phase myself, and Waterhouse is one of my all-time favorite artists.
This is a beautiful dress and looks fantastic on you!
It's confirmed, you are a real life leading lady from a soap opera. The kind who never really ages or changes dress size, possesses an amazing wardrobe from various decades, looks flawless in every style, and appears oblivious to the richness of her life?
And that's a life steeped in art and observation, serendipity and circumstances beyond your control. Yet you rise well above every situation with an unheralded ease; the same ease that the rest of have with growing superfluous body hair, creating sweat rings, or putting a foot in our mouth at a social setting.
It's a brand new year Laura Mae, but rest assured, the angst of my envy is not diminished by time, and the petty outbursts and unabashed bemoaning of your achievements shall pepper and permeate 2012.

Francis denounces massacre of African schoolchildren as "cruel and senseless act"
The pope has condemned the killing of eight students of a primary school in southwestern Cameroon

By Guy Aimé Eblotié | Cameroon
Pope Francis has condemned in no uncertain terms the killing of eight schoolchildren on October 24 at an elementary school in the Diocese of Kumba in southwestern Cameroon.
Speaking at his Wednesday general audience at the Vatican, the pope said the massacre was "such a cruel and senseless act".
A group of unidentified assailants burst into the Mother Francisca International Bilingual Academy around 11:00 am last Saturday, firing guns and attacking with machetes.
Police said the victims were between nine and 12 years of age.
This massacre "which has wrenched innocent children from their lives while they were taking lessons at school is completely disconcerting to me", the pope said.
He said he "joins in the grief of the families of the young students barbarously killed last Saturday".
Bishop Agapitus Nfon of Kumba immediately denounced the massacre and expressed his emotion.
"This is the darkest and saddest day in Kumba since the socio-political crisis affecting the northwest and southwest began in 2016 and bogged us down in a war," he said in an October 24 written statement.
The bishop compared the school tragedy to the Holy Family's flight into Egypt to save the baby Jesus from King Herod's order to kill all babies under two years of age.
"Let the guns fall silent"
Bishop Nfon also recalled another massacre that had aroused emotion in May.
It was that of a pregnant woman and children in Ngarbuh, in the Diocese of Kumbo, in the northwestern English-speaking part of Cameroon.
The pope told people at his general audience he was saddened by the crisis afflicting the country's English-speaking areas.
"May God enlighten hearts, so that similar gestures will never be repeated again and so that the martyred regions of the northwest and southwest of the country may finally find peace again!" Francis prayed.
"I hope that the guns will fall silent and that the security of all and the right of every young person to education and to a future can be guaranteed," he said.
The pope also expresses his affection to the families of the victims, the city of Kumba and all of Cameroon, while invoking "the comfort that only God can give".
Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead
Bishop Nfon was scheduled to celebrate Mass at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Kumba on October 30 for the repose of the souls of those who were killed.
He particularly invited schoolchildren, parents of students and all those traumatized by the conflict in the English-speaking area of Cameroon to join him for the liturgy.
"Because of this barbaric act, the people of Kumba are in tears and the whole diocese is in mourning, our hearts are broken because our innocent children are no longer here," the bishop said.
He appealed to the Cameroonian government and the international community to do what they can to help stop the killing of civilians in the Central African country's English-speaking zone.
