Full name: Estelle Swaray.
Born: Jan. 18, 1980 in London, England. She was raised in West London, but currently lives in New York City.
Parents are of Senegalese and Grenadian descent.
Family: Second born out of eight children
Occupation: She’s a singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress.
While growing up, her parents were very religious and secular music was not allowed in the house. Estelle grew up listening to spiritual music especially American gospel and traditional African music. At times she would listen to hip hop when not at home. Estelle’s mother was a reggae fan while her dad made homemade speaker cabinets to play music.
She spent her childhood listening to her parents’ reggae records and her aunt’s soul collection before discovering hip hop.
“I got into hip hop from my uncle; he was always playing us Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane; he was a bad boy and my mum wasn’t really happy that I was hanging out with him”.
By the time she was in her early 20s, she had decided on a music career.
Estelle got her start in London’s renowned hip-hop record store Deal Real. Her fellow employees encouraged her to take a chance and get on the mic on-stage; soon she was playing numerous London clubs and appearing with the likes of Manuva and Rodney P. Local hero Skitz asked her to appear on his 2000 album, Countryman, and soon she landed on albums by artists such as The 57th Dynasty and Blak Twang. She made her solo debut in 2003 with the 12″ “Excuse Me”, released on the label Paradise Isle.
Her career got a jump-start in the early 2000’s when she happened to see Kanye West sitting in a restaurant while on a trip to Los Angeles. Estelle approached Kanye, introduced herself and asked for an introduction to John Legend. She eventually got that introduction.
Legend eventually helped produce two songs on her debut album, The 18th Day in 2006. The album took its title after how Estelle’s mother almost died while giving birth to the future singer on January 18.
Estelle makes it big!
Three years later, 2008, US R&B singer John Legend announced that Estelle would be the first signee to his Homeschool label, distributed by Atlantic in the US. Four years after The 18th Day‘s release, Estelle returned with her second album, Shine.
From the album, Estelle’s first international hit song was ‘American Boy’ which reached the top 10 in at least a few countries like US,Canada,Ireland,Australia and Turkey.
The song was nominated for the 2009 Brit Award for Best British Single, and Estelle was also nominated for Best British Female Artist.
Another record off Shine that was very popular in Kenya is Come over.
Estelle ‘All of Me’
Estelle’s third album was confirmed to be All of Me in 2010.
The album was originally led by the single “Freak”, featuring Kardinal Offishall and produced by David Guetta. The video premiered on her website on 26 February 2010.
“Freak” was featured on both the Step Up 3D soundtrack and the reissue of David Guetta’s album One Love, titled One More Love.
The original second single from the album was announced as being “Fall in Love”, which featured versions featuring Nas and John Legend.
In 2011, it was announced that “Break My Heart”, featuring Rick Ross, would be released as the new lead single from All of Me. It was released for download on 26 April 2011 and released to US urban radio stations on 17 May 2011. The song peaked at 33 on the US Hip-Hop/R&B, the week of 2 July 2011.
Her second single was Thank You released in 2012.
In 2013, the UK singer signed a joint deal with John Legend’s Homeschool Records and Atlantic Records to start her own imprint New London Records, with a continued publishing deal with BMG.
In March 2014, she premiered the first single off her fourth album True Romance which was “Make Her Say (Beat It Up).” A heated video showing Estelle’s sexy side.
The follow-up single “Conqueror” premiered on 15 July 2014.After numerous delays, the album was released on 17 February 2015 in the US. In 2015, Estelle guest starred in the hit Fox TV show Empire, singing the duet version of her single “Conqueror” with the hunkie Jussie Smollett, refueling sales of the single making it her biggest US hit since her Grammy-winning “American Boy” with Kanye West.
In 2016, Estelle is still making boss moves in her musical career as she will be performing at Nairobi’s Blankets and Wine at Ngong Racecourse.

Written in the unusual time signature of 9/ 8, the man with the impossible dream is of course Don Quixote, who was better known for tilting at windmills. In music, the most encountered time signature is 4/ 4, boring old Common Time. There' s also 2/ 4 and 2/ 2, " cut time, " which aren' t too much different - all the bars still divide evenly into two. 3/ 4, sometimes called " Waltz Time", is also fairly intuitive- if you' ve ever been taught to dance by counting " step, two, three, step, two, three" then you know how it works.

Can you believe it, Bill? I still can't. They told me almost twelve hours ago and I still can't believe it." "Believe it, sweet thing." William Smithback, Jr., unfolded his lanky limbs, stretched out on the living room couch, then draped one arm over his wife's shoulders. "Any more of that port?"
Nora filled his glass. He held it up to the light, admiring its garnet color. Cost him a hundred bucks — and well worth it. He sipped, exhaled. "You're a rising star at the museum. Just wait. In five years, they'll make you dean of science."
"Don't be silly."
"Nora, this is the third straight year of budget cuts — and here they've given your expedition a green light. That new boss of yours is no fool." Smithback nuzzled Nora's hair. After all this time, he still never failed to find its smell — a touch of cinnamon, a hint of juniper — arousing.
"Just think: next summer, we'll be back in Utah on a dig. That is, if you can get the time off."
"I've got four weeks coming to me. They'll miss me desperately at the Times, but they'll just have to make do." He took another sip, swirled the liquid around in his mouth. "Nora Kelly: expedition number three. You couldn't have asked for a better anniversary present."
Nora glanced at him sardonically. "I thought tonight's dinner was my anniversary present."
"That's right. It was."
"And it was perfect. Thanks."
Smithback winked back. He'd treated Nora to his favorite restaurant, Café des Artistes on West 67th. It was the perfect place for a romantic meal. The soft, seductive lighting; the cozy banquettes; the titillating artwork of Howard Chandler Christy — and then, on top of everything else, the sublime food.
Smithback realized Nora was looking at him. There was a promise, in those eyes and that sly smile, of another anniversary present to come. He kissed her cheek, pulled her closer.
She sighed. "They gave me every dime I asked for."
Smithback mumbled his response. He was content to snuggle with his wife and perform a mental postmortem on the meal he'd just consumed. He'd sharpened his appetite with a brace of dirty martinis, followed by a charcuterie plate. And for a main course he could never resist the steak béarnaise, rare, accompanied bypommes frites and a savory dollop of creamed spinach — and, of course, he'd had a hearty helping of Nora's loin of venison…
"…And you know what that means? I'll be able to complete my analysis of the spread of the Kachina Cult through the Southwest."
"That's fantastic." Dessert had been chocolate fondue for two, accompanied by a plate of delightfully malodorous French cheeses. Smithback let his free hand settle lightly over his stomach.
Nora fell silent and they lay there a moment, satisfied to enjoy each other's company. Smithback stole a glance at his wife. A feeling of contentment settled over him like a blanket. He wasn't a religious man, not exactly; and yet he felt blessed to be here, in a classy apartment in the world's greatest city, holding down the job he'd always dreamed of. And in Nora, he'd found no less than the perfect companion. They'd been through a lot in the years since they'd first met, but the trouble, and the danger, had only served to bring them closer. She was not only beautiful, svelte, gainfully and eagerly employed, immune to nagging, empathetic, intelligent — she'd also proven to be the ideal soul mate. Looking at her, he smiled despite himself. Nora was, quite simply, too good to be true.
Nora roused herself. "Can't let myself get too comfortable. Not yet, anyway."
She disentangled herself and walked into the kitchen to grab her purse. "There's one more errand I have to run."
Smithback blinked. "At this hour?"
"I'll be back in ten minutes." She returned to the couch and leaned over him, one hand smoothing his cowlick as she kissed him. "Don't go anywhere, big boy," she murmured.
"Are you kidding? I'll be a regular Rock of Gibraltar."
She smiled, stroked his hair again, then headed for the front door.
"Be careful," he called after her. "Don't forget those weird little packages we've been getting."
"Don't worry. I'm a grown — up girl." A moment later, the door closed and the lock turned.
Smithback put his hands behind his head and stretched out on the sofa with a sigh. He heard her footsteps recede down the corridor; heard the chime of the elevator. Then all was quiet save for the low hum of the city outside.
He could guess where she'd gone — to the patisserie around the corner. They made his favorite specialty cakes and were open until midnight. Smithback was particularly partial to their praline génoise with calvados buttercream; with any luck, that was the cake Nora had ordered for tonight's celebration.
He lounged there, in the dimly lit apartment, listening to Manhattan breathe. The cocktails he'd consumed had slowed everything down just a little. He recalled a line from a Thurber short story: drowsily contented, mistily contented. He had always felt an unreasoning fondness for the writings of fellow journalist James Thurber. Along with those of pulp fictioneer Robert E. Howard. One, he felt, had always tried too hard; the other, not hard enough.
For some reason, he found his thoughts spiraling back to the summer day when he'd first met Nora. All the memories returned: Arizona, Lake Powell, the hot parking lot, the big limo he'd arrived in. He shook his head, chuckling at the memory. Nora Kelly had seemed like a bitch on wheels, a freshly minted PhD with a chip on her shoulder. Then again, he hadn't exactly made a good impression, acted like a perfect ass, that was for sure. That was four years ago, or was it five… oh, God, had the time really gone that fast?
There was a shuffling outside the front door, then the rattle of a key in the lock. Nora, back so soon?
He waited for the door to open, but instead the key rattled again, as if Nora was having trouble with the lock. Maybe she was balancing a cake on her arm. He was about to rise to open it for her when the door creaked open and he heard steps cross the entryway.
"As promised, I'm still here," he called out. "Mr. Gibraltar. But hey, you can call me Rock."
There was another step. Somehow, it didn't sound like Nora: it was too slow and heavy, and it seemed to be shambling, as if uncertain.
Smithback sat up on the couch. A figure loomed in the small foyer, framed in the light of the corridor beyond. It was too tall and broad — shouldered to be Nora.
"Who the hell are you?" he said.
Quickly, Smithback reached for the lamp on the adjoining table, snapped it on. He recognized the figure almost immediately. Or he thought he did — there was something wrong with the face. It was ashen, puffy, almost pulpy. It looked sick… or worse.
"Colin?" Smithback said. "Is that you? What the hell are you doing in my apartment?"
That was when he saw the butcher knife.
In an instant he was on his feet. The figure shuffled forward, cutting him off. There was a brief, awful moment of stasis. Then the knife darted forward with terrible speed, slashing at air Smithback had occupied less than a second before.
"What the fuck?
" Smithback yelled.
The knife shot forward again, and Smithback fell over the coffee table in a desperate attempt to avoid the blow, overturning the table as he did so. He scrambled to his feet again and turned to face his assailant, crouching low, hands apart, fingers spread and ready. Quickly, he glanced around for a weapon. Nothing. The figure stood between him and the kitchen — if he could get past, he could grab a knife, even the odds.
He ducked his head slightly, extended an elbow, and charged. The figure fell back under this attack, but at the last moment the knife hand came around, slashing at Smithback's arm and cutting a deep stripe from elbow to shoulder. Smithback wrenched to one side with a cry of surprise and pain — and as he did so he felt the exquisitely cold sensation of steel being driven deep into his lower back.
It seemed to keep sinking forever, plucking at his innermost vitals, piercing him with a pain that had been matched only once before in his life. He gasped, staggered to the floor, trying to get away; he felt the knife slip out, then plunge in again. There was a sudden wetness on his back, as if someone were pouring warm water on him.
Summoning all his strength, he rose to his feet, grabbing desperately at his attacker, pummeling him with his bare hands. The knife slashed again and again at his knuckles but Smithback no longer felt it. The figure fell back under the ferocity of his charge. This was his opportunity, and Smithback wheeled around, ready to retreat to the kitchen. But the floor seemed to be tilting crazily under his feet, and there was now a strange boiling in his chest with every breath he took. He staggered into the kitchen, gasping, fighting for balance, slick fingers scrabbling at the knife drawer. But even as he managed to pull it open, he saw a shadow fall over the counter… and then another terrible blow landed deep between his shoulder blades. He tried to twist away, but the knife kept rising and falling, rising and falling, the crimson gleam of its blade dimming as the light began to fail him…
All fled, all done, so lift me on the pyre; the feast is over and the lamps expire…
* * *
The elevator doors slid back, and Nora stepped out into the corridor. She'd made good time, and with any luck Bill would still be on the couch, perhaps reading that Thackeray novel he'd been raving about all week. Carefully, she balanced the cake box in her hands as she reached for her key; he'd no doubt guessed where she'd gone, but it was hard to mount a surprise on somebody's first anniversary…

|In at the deep end: Nguyen Quoc Phi stands on the bridge over the Xeo Ro Canal observing and instructing the local children how to swim every afternoon after school. — Photo courtersy of Nguyen Quoc Phi
Armed with a sports degree and a passion for exercise, Nguyen Quoc Phi made it his mission to get Kien Giang Province kids active and has cultivivated a formidable sports club with a slew of medals demonstrating its members sporting excellence. Luong Thu Huong reports.
Every late afternoon after school, about 15 children in An Minh District in the southern province of Kien Giang gather to do swimming warm-ups. After running for the required distance, they return to the starting point to rest for a while. Then they do the warm-ups again before finally jumping into the Xeo Ro canal to swim.
On the bridge over the canal stands trainer Nguyen Quoc Phi. After Phi counts from one to three, each group of children rushes to line up.
The 34-year-old founder of Hamlet 11A's Sports Club came up with the idea of setting up a club for local children after he returned to his hometown to work.
"Children in rural areas like my hometown are at a disadvantage compared with those in the urban areas, as they lack places to exercise. After taking a course at the Ho Chi Minh City College of Sports in 2003, I decided to use my knowledge to create a club," Phi said.
To encourage the villagers' interest in sports, Phi was an active role model. He woke up early in the morning to jog for a long distance, aiming to show people that exercising would benefit their health.
"They used to cast strange looks at me, as if I was abnormal. Gradually, the image of a young man in sports clothes running around the district became familiar to the local people," he said. "Then I started to encourage children near my house to join me. After three months, 20 children participated. At five every morning, we woke up to jog."
In 2005, Phi proposed the idea of establishing a club for local children interested in running and swimming, which was soon approved by the Dong Hung B Commune authority in An Minh District.
But not all went smoothly during its first days. "There was a lot of confusion over administrative procedures, especially expenses. Due to financial difficulties, there are no proper material facilities, and the children only run barefoot or in sandals," Phi said.
The number of the club members keeps fluctuating, but new members always take the place of those who drop out and Phi counts at least 15 regular members. During training for competitions, this number can reach as high as 40.
Phan Hai Trieu, the general director of the district's centre of culture and sport, said the club had "significantly encouraged the sports movement" in the area.
"My children learned from Phi how to train for good health. My wife and I feel very happy that they know how to swim, and can even save others from drowning, which makes us feel safe when we have to go on business," said Nguyen Thanh Hung, a Hamlet 11A resident, whose five children trained under Phi and have won many provincial and regional sporting contests.
Each member used to contribute VND2,000 (10 US cents) for funding. But after the club won several local sporting competitions, the prize money was sufficient.
Nguyen Thi Phao, an official of An Minh Children's House and the secretary of the local youth branch, has been by Phi's side since the club started, training the children and accompanying them to competitions.
"I remember the first time we took the children to participate in Kien Giang's sporting competition," she recalled.
"Seeing our team with bare heads and feet, eating a small breakfast of sweet potatoes, everyone thought that we were just competing for fun, not to win."
After a few months of enthusiastic training, however, the club changed that impression. Members came away from the 2005 Hon Dat Mountain-Climbing Contest with two gold, two silver and three bronze medals.
In the eight years since, Phi's club has kept improving and developing. It has co-operated with the provincial sport school to teach athletics classes to 20 students, including one who went on to complete a master's degree in sport, one who went to HCM City College of Sports and two who are currently studying sport at Can Tho University.
As of June, Phi's club has participated in 20 provincial competitions, winning 95 gold, 71 silver and 64 bronze medals, as well as 13 regional and national events, where the club earned one gold medal, two silvers and one bronze.
Early this year, Phi was promoted to vice director of the centre of culture and sport of the district. But he still focuses more on helping others than moving up the career ladder. His current goal: eradicating "swimming blindness" among local children. — VNS

The increasing deployment of photovoltaic (PV) systems in both utility and building integrated scales dominates the significance of using an appropriate protection scheme to improve the safety, reliability, and efficiency of the system. One of the main protection challenges of PV arrays is their low fault currents under low-irradiance, low-mismatch, and high-impedance faults. In addition to these conditions, the operation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm and use of blocking diodes may lead to the faults within the PV array remain undetected, resulting in potential fire hazards and power loss. This thesis proposes three different fault detection methods that require only the output power of PV arrays. Using the sample entropy–based complexity, the first method quantifies the irregularity of the time series of the normalized fault-imposed components of PV power as the fault detection criterion. Second method consists of two stages; using the amplitude of the normalized super-imposed component of PV array power, the first stage detects a disturbance while the second stage distinguishes a fault condition from a partial shading using a wave-shape based feature. Using the Teager-Kaiser energy operator, third method proposes a novel index to detect the challenging PV fault conditions. The proposed protection schemes are capable of distinguishing the line-to-line, line-to-ground, and open circuit faults from the weather disturbances and partial shadings without the need for the prior information about the PV array and the training data set and are effective for both grid-connected and islanded PV systems. Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink environment validate the performance of the proposed fault detection schemes.

Dil Brito’s new album, Astro, seems to be an exercise in artistic anonymity. If it weren’t for a few vigilant blogs that picked up on its existence in early February, it would probably have disappeared into the ether like so many other one-time bandcamp releases. But now, with neither contact nor context we find ourselves with twelve short tracks of decidedly good noise folk.
Astro is difficult to define. It’s reminiscent of washed out effects music, except the ‘wash’ is somehow acoustic. You can imagine it as the result of a pop star like Jason Mraz falling down the stairs after a bad acid trip. In between the croony, sun-bleached vocals and flamenco-esque guitars, one gets the impression that ribs might be snapping as a singer songwriter misses a step and tumbles towards the basement. To clarify, this is a good thing.
Finding something to be critical of in this record is also confusing. To be sure, there are things to offend the ear. The sound quality smacks of built-in computer microphone and often it feels like someone tossed sounds at a computer hoping they’d meet up down the road. But the dichotomy is that any obvious ‘problems’ also seem meticulously placed. Guitars drift in and out and lazy vocals sink below suspended chords. It may be less that it’s a mess and more that it has the sort of intricacy requiring multiple very close listens. Even so, it would be interesting to hear these songs stripped to their core — within all the instrumentation is a distinct voice that could benefit from a sparser approach.
One of the most memorable songs on the record is “Down My Lane.” The lyrics match the instrumentals in that they are intense, crowded, and not overly concerned with causality. A male voice sings, “Keeping time by screaming wild songs at blank lines hoping I’ll survive by sleeping sound on high roads floating down my lane.” The beat poetry barrage is especially intriguing within such a gentle song. A reliable baseline and an eerie guitar counter melody feels like cage bars keeping the words in place.
Astro is a record that inhabits its own space. Like a cult movie, it is good precisely because it is indefinable. It is both too much and too little, and that is what makes it special. I eagerly await the future projects of Dil Brito, whatever shape they end up taking.

Wait.... is someone insinuating that an entire PPV can hinge on Chavo Guerrero? I'm a fan of Chavo's, but c'mon... Isn't Benoit on good terms with the Guererro's again? If so, they could easily replace Chavo with Benoit. Benoit has a long history with Eddie, was fighting Team Angle just a few months ago and can obviously uphold his end as far as the quality of the match. Plus he's won the tag team titles in a ladder match before (TLC4), so they could even use that to fuel the storyline about Team Angle being out of their element. (And hey, Taz is even likely to remember Benoit being on the winning team in TLC 4, so it might even come up.)
Personally, though, I'd like to see Eddie bring Super Porky up from Mexico. Don't ask me why, but he's become one of my favourite wrestlers recently. I think it was the result of hitting my head after watching one of his matches and not understanding a damn word the commentators were saying and then all of the sudden, one of them yells out SUPERRRRRR PORRRRRRRRRRKY and I fell out of my chair laughing.
If Dragon is still recovering from his injury, then is a ladder match really the best way to go? That being said, it would still be an awesome way to introduce him.
I think the more obvious and logical choice is Chris Benoit. The eight-man can easily be changed to Undertaker/Jones/Rhyno/Spanky against Cena/the FBI.

Really, if they told you that SARS was being pumped through the ventilation system into every theatre in which this was being shown, would you be any less likely to go see it?-- review of 'Daddy Day Care' at fametracker.com
Ultimo has been wrestling for months now, but I don't think a ladder match would be the best choice for his first WWE match. I mean sure, it sounds cool as hell, but he would be in a new ring with people he's never wrestled before, trying on a different style. The possibility for injury would seem to be very high. Therefore, I'd say go with Benoit.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. It's an unnecessary risk, especially when Angle and Edge are out with neck injuries.
BUT if they were determined to do this, I'd bring in Kanyon as Eddie's partner. True, he has no heat as a face or heel, but he's innovative and willing to take some high-risk spots. I think he'd win the crowd over soon enough during the match, and it would give him an in.
Paying fans are expecting a ladder match, and the temptation would definitely strong to keep that stipulation in. Let's face it though, now that Chavo is out of the equation, Los Guerreros cannot function and they are the team fans are getting behind. While Eddie can have a substitute partner (Benoit was my first thought considering the history and the chemistry, but Kanyon or Ultimo Dragon are exciting alternatives), there's no way the belts are changing hands this Sunday... at least if we're discussing this sensibly. Without Chavo, the team dynamic changes which gives Team Angle the upper hand and giving the win to a makeshift tag team makes Los Guerreros look like a losing team that couldn't get the job done. Involving a ladder with any of the three suggestions is dangerous considering their injury history. Benoit definitely doesn't need it, and it wouldn't help a returning star to injure themselves again (hello Orton, Randy and Nash, Kevin).
The best choice I see thusfar is to put Eddie Guerrero against Shelton Benjamin (who I see as the better of the two in that team). We'll involve Haas in some shenanigans, and get a run-in from one of the suggested faces (who, maybe, get a little taunt from Team Angle in an earlier segment). Give one final win to Team Angle, via shenanigans, and we set the scene for a new team to continue the feud without making anything look too dumb.
I hope Chavo can stay on TV in some capacity during his recovery as he and Eddy are gold on TV, and it would be a shame to miss out on their dynamic.
It was awful, but there was a huge upside to it: Michael Cole, Tazz. Also, unlike the HHH/Vick angle, Al Wilson/Dawn Marie is a midcard segment, while the former was all over the main event scene for the better part of a month.

Tennessee Parents Can Opt Kids Out of Extracurricular Activites
Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has signed a measure allowing parents to opt their children out of extracurricular school activities.
Under the legislation, schools would notify parents about the activities by way of student handbooks or policy guidebooks. Sponsors say parents who don't want their children to participate in a certain activity can send a note to the school. The legislation unanimously passed the Senate and was approved 75-14 in the House.

For almost two hours Louisiana’s seafood leaders from all sectors of the industry gathered via zoom, mobile phones at restaurants or in cars, and in a conference room in Baton Rouge to discuss the damage of Hurricane Ida’s wrath on the State’s seafood industry. The consensus; the hurricane laid a path of destruction that has crippled almost every sector.
“It is pretty bad,” said Louisiana Crab Task Force chairman Britney Breaux. “Bayou LaFourche is completely destroyed. The docks are completely gone, 47 boats have been sunk and there is no ice or clean water. The bayou is filthy and littered with trees everywhere.”
“The purpose of this task force is to help the seafood industry recover from this historically damaging storm,” said Harlon Pearce of the Gulf Seafood Foundation. “Twenty years ago after Hurricane Katrina we formed a similar group. Our purpose today is to replicate the success we had then.”

As big as Samsung makes its screens, there are still times you wish you could go: You scream! I scream! We all scream for BIGGER SCREENS!
The good news is, Samsung’s got you covered there, too. Starting with their Galaxy S3 models, they integrated a screen mirroring feature into all their subsequent models; be it a Galaxy S smartphone or a Galaxy Note 2 or later.
With the screen mirroring feature, you can convert your Samsung Smart TV or–with a little bit of effort–any other HDTV into a blown up version of your Galaxy’s screen. In other words, you can share your smart device’s screen with your TV. It’s the perfect way to watch Netflix movies, online videos and pictures with family and friends.
The coolest part is, if, the connection between your device and the TV is fast enough, you can play games on the TV using your Android phone as the controller.
In this post, I’ll discuss the different ways you can mirror a Samsung Galaxy screen on a Television.
Related: Android Mirror Cast
Mirroring Your Galaxy Screen to a HDTV
First, I’ll show you how to share your Samsung Galaxy screen with an HDTV. You have two options to beam your Galaxy screen to your TV: wired or wireless.
Wired Screen Mirroring Setup
Some of the major benefits of going the wired route is the stable connection, the HD video quality, and surround sound. Whereas, the wireless connection is prone to laggy video and subdued sound, making the wired method the perfect recipe for watching movies and playing games.
However, there is one drawback to the wired setting; your device is only as free to go as far as the cable’s length.
You can find a detailed guide for mirroring an S4 to your TV, here. For all other Samsung Galaxy Deices here’s how you setup the wired mirroring:
Buy one of Samsung’s MHL-to-HDMI adapters or other less expensive, unbranded, options easily available at Amazon. However, before you buy one, just make sure to buy an MHL adapter with 11 pins. There are still older versions of the MHL adapters in the market, which may not be compatible with some Samsung Galaxy devices.
Connect the MHL adapter’s micro USB cable to the micro-USB port on your Samsung Galaxy device.
The MHL adapter needs power to run. You have two options. Either you can let it siphon power from your Samsung Galaxy device–which will deplete your device’s power very quickly–or, you can connect a wall charger into the adapter power dock (recommended).
Now, plug in one end of the HDMI cable into the MHL adapter connected to your Samsung device and the other end into the HDMI port of your HDTV.
For the best audio, go to “Settings” in your device then click on the “My Device” tab. Next, click on “Accessory/Audio Output” and select “Surround”.
Sit back, relax and enjoy screen mirroring on your HDTV.
Wireless Screen Mirroring Setup
There is a special kind of happiness when all your tech goes completely wireless, giving you a different kind of freedom. That’s the feeling you will get with this wireless setup for mirroring your Samsung Galaxy screen to your HDTV. This setup uses Samsung’s Screen Mirroring feature to beam the display of the device to the HDTV.
Firstly, you will need to invest in a wireless hub. You can buy Samsung’s Allshare Cast Wireless Hub for a whopping $80.
Connect the Wireless Hub to your HDTV with the HDMI cable. Once connected, the red indicator light on the Hub should turn red after a few seconds. If not, then press the reset button on the back of the Hub and wait for it to turn blue. You have linked your Hub successfully with your HDTV.
Now, enable the screen mirroring feature in your Samsung Galaxy device. You can do this instantly by using two fingers to pull down the main screen from the top; this opens the controls menu that houses the Screen Mirroring feature. Click on Screen Mirroring to enable the feature.
Once, enabled your Samsung Galaxy device will start scanning for compatible devices and will list the Hub you connected to your HDTV earlier. Just tap the name of the device on the scanned list and Voila! You have successfully mirrored your Samsung Galaxy Screen to your HDTV.
Let the games begin.
However, wireless mirroring is not an exact science. Some users have no trouble whatsoever with making the feature work wirelessly, while others have to jump through hoops to get a stable, lasting connection. In that light, Step 5 is more like – May the odds be ever in your favor.
Mirroring your Samsung Galaxy Screen to a Samsung Smart TV
If your Samsung Smart TV is circa 2013 and newer, then beaming your Samsung Galaxy screen to your TV will be as easy as 1, 2, and 3.
Step 1: Dive into your Smart TV Menu via the Menu button on the remote. Then go to the Network tab and select Allshare Settings. Next, select Screen Mirroring and then press Enter.
Step 2: Next, go to the Settings app for your Samsung Galaxy device. Then, click on Connections and enable the Screen Mirroring feature. After the device has scanned for compatible devices, click your Smart TV’s name from the list to establish the link.
Step 3: Get some popcorn–if you’re watching a movie–and enjoy!
Screen mirroring with your Samsung Smart TV (2013 and newer) is the easiest way to beam your Samsung Galaxy screen. However, if you have a Samsung Smart TV that’s older than 2013 then you will have to go the Allshare-Cast-Wireless-Hub way. Wow, that was a mouthful to say.
Honorary Mention: Screen Mirroring via Miracast
You can also use a Miracast wireless display adapter instead of the Allshare Cast Wireless Hub to beam your screen wirelessly. However, not only does your Samsung Galaxy device need to be Miracast compatible, so does your HDTV.
In this case, you can use one of the many Miracast wireless display adapters now available in the market.
All you will have to do is plug in the HDMI adapter into one of your TV’s HDMI input ports and the USB into the USB port of your TV, where it will get its power.
Android OS 4.2.1 and above support the Miracast feature, so all you have to do is enable the Wireless Display in your Samsung Galaxy device settings. You can do this by going to the Settings menu of your device, tapping on Wireless Display and moving the toggle for Wireless Display to ON. Once on, it will scan for nearby Miracast devices, which will show your HDTV. Simply, click on your HDTV’s name to create the wireless link.
Because Galaxy S3 and Note 2 run on Android OS 4.1.2, you will have to invest in a Miracast Wireless Display Adapter such as the NetGear Push2TV PTV3000.
Screen mirroring is a revolutionary feature in Android devices. It opens up so many exciting possibilities for its users if done correctly. Granted, it’s not perfect yet but, it has only one way to go, and that’s UP! After all, if it worked perfectly, Sony and Microsoft will start to see their PSP and Xbox sales dwindling.
If you’ve tried either of these methods for screen mirroring, don’t forget to share your experiences and/or questions with us in the comments.


Security / Firewalls :: VPN Access Stopped Working On Watchguard Firebox?
Sep 13, 2012
Previously we had no problem with remote users connecting via VPN but recently they can't connect and i've checked the firewall and it shows the errors (see attached jpeg) but I'm not sure what it all means.
Im having some major issues with my new setup. I have a Cisco Router (1921ISR) that is connected to the internet through a t1. In addition to that is another cable modem. Each of these are connected to my firebox through an external interface.My router is on the 10.1.10.X network. My internal network is 192.168.1.X I have several NAT statements on my router pointing to 10.1.10.X addresses. These addresses are defined on my firebox as seconday external addresses and I am SNAT'ing them to 192.168.1.X addresses on my local LAN.This is mostly working well for everything. However, there is an FTP I am connecting to through the a VPN on the cisco that will not connect. The source is a 192.168.1.X address.
I am running a Kodak all in one printer through a Billion 7800n router. The desktop computer running Vista is hard wired and the portable running Windows 7 is wireless to the router. The Printer is hard wired to the Billion router. Where are running Norton 360 on both computers. Everything was running fine until two weeks ago and we get the error that the firewall is stopping access from both computers. I have tried turning off Norton but no effect so I assume it has something to do with the firewall on the Billion 7800n router? Why stop now after several weeks of working fine after setup?
I have problem with the Lan-to-Lan VPN tunnel.the VPN working fines since 9 months ago without any problems.Suddenly got the problem!,In last two days we faced problem the VPN down.in first time the problem in phase-2.. but after that in phase-1... in latest no data packet received to their side.
i am using windows vista on my laptop.i was using zone alarm firewall, but switched it to windows firewall.after switching, my internet was cutoff. i can see that i am connected to my network, but cant get to internet.when i run diagnosis on my laptop, it gives me three options:
my Ethernet driver is having hardware issue.
my wireless driver is having hardware issue.
ip protocol binding is having issue. check ipv4 and ipv6 settings.
Last year i installed nortor 360 gold edition onto my laptop and now it is telling me that it is not automatically protected against viruses and spyware, even though it has the latest update and no problems have been found on my laptop.
I am trying to figure out how to give computers that connect to my LAN limited access. I have heard that some viruses, though rare, may travel through the network and infect all computers on the network. I want to prevent this. Is there any way to give computers connected to my network strict access to only the internet to prevent viruses or any other harmful attacks?
I've created a hostname & account with [url].... for my vpn setup.It was working fine until 2 days back. owa was accesible and configured MS Exchange on iPhones.
Suddenly it stopped working.The updation of IP from ISP is happening @ chnageip.com site, but when we ping the hostname, it is not resolving to new ip and is not pinging.Our users outside the coporate's internal network is unable to access.
I configured a dynamic vpn(easy vpn) in a cisco isr. But the vpn clients cannot access any of the lan devices. VPN pool is 10.0.0.1- 10.0.0.20 & internal netwrk add is 172.17.x.x. I tried to disable zone based firewall but no resultout[CODE]
I installed Comodo Firewall today, and I couldn't access my Internet from then. I actually liked it's UI and all and want to keep it. The only something that I felt that might be causing the problem is "Use Comodo Secure DNS Server"? Is it likely the reason to be the cause of the problem?
I'm having some problems with a sonicwall pro2040. The problem is this: I can access the sonicwall remotely, and I can ssh into the sonicwall and ping various websites, and get replies, but my connected PCs (Connected by the LAN port) have no internet access. I have never set up a sonicwall before this one, and I feel like there is something I may be missing. Do Sonicwall devices block WAN access by default? Do I need to configure the default route?
I need remote access to certain programs on my home PC but I just cannot get it to work.
When I set the programs port preferences (i.e. port 8087), I can connect with"127.0.0.1:8087" and webcamXP work fine. But when I replace the localhost with my external IP (lets say 18.104.22.168, so that would be "http://22.214.171.124:8087".I tried port forwarding: I have added the port to my NAT in the router's setting so it should be fine, but it is not (numbers are fictual of course):
external port start 8085, external port end 8089, protocol TCP/UDP, internal port start 8085, internal port end 8089, server IP address 192.168.1.215)
I also tried disabling AVG Internet Security 2011's firewall temporarily just to check it it was blocking it, but got the same result.I checked if Windows own firewall was on, but it is off.I cannot find any setting in the router's own configuration screen to disable any build in (router's) firewall (if it has any).
So, I have this router at home a WRT150N. I put in access restrictions so my siblings won't stray onto unwanted pages.I enabled SPI Firewall Protection and what do you know, it worked. The next day though, we didn't have an internet connection.I checked everything with the modem (power cycles, etc.) and then I tried the router. Upon disabling SPI Firewall Protection, the internet connection came back.I tested it yet again, to see if it really was the SPI. Enabled and bam, no internet access again. I made sure to select "Allow" in the Access Restrictions for "Internet access during selected days and hours" making sure also that "Everyday" and "24 Hours" are selected.Now my question is, what do I need to do in order to enable my Access Restrictions without having to lose internet connection via the SPI Firewall?
our customer unfortunately uses a Watchguard.Finally we could establish a site-to-site vpn connection.To test if the connection re-establish again, we cleared our vpn session by "clear crypto isakmp <session id>" and after that "clear crypto sa <ip address of the peer>"After that, the session is down on our site, but the watchguard keeps the Phase I still up, either the deleting messages from our cisco are visible in the watchguard log files.Watchguard helpdesk told us, that the messages are only seen as a deletion message for Phase II, therefore Watchguard keeps Phase I up and running.Here you could see the cisco 7206 log messages aftre the clear commands:
In my opinion, it looks ok and we do not have problems with other VPN devices with this kind of tests.what could be done that the watchguard deletes Phase I, too? Or that an explicit Phase I deletion message is created and sent by our cisco 7206?
For some reason i can't get access anymore to the web interface of our ACS 5.3 appliance.Where i used to get a certificate warning first, and after that the ACS5 login screen, i now get totally no response anymore in my IE browser.
I can telnet to port 443 of the unit however. And i (fortunately) still have ssh access to the unit. So i did a reload (microsoft habits) but that did'nt solve anything.https access to other systems from the same browser is functioning fine

I have a new Alienware X51 running Win 7. It's connected to a home LAN, both wired and wirelessly. For the prior two days internet connectivity has been fine. Today, the PC will not connect to the internet. The Network and Sharing center in control panel shows that the PC is connected to both the wireless network and the wired network, but with no internet connectivity. All other computers and devices in the house are able to connect to the internet. Tried restarts, virus scans, router power off/on, ipconfig /release and renew, all with no luck. When I try and ping other computers in the LAN or the router I get a "General Failure" message.
Powerline not working on media in one room. My Setup: ATT DSL Modem: Westell 6500 w/ Linksys WRT54GS router
First powerline to mac (about 8 feet down hall) second powerline to pc (windows vista) (about 12 feet down hall) third powerline to media (Xbox 360, Sony blu ray, Apple TV) (about 45 feet down hall)
I've had Powerline PLE/S 300 setup for a couple years I think working perfectly. I it set up because my house is VERY solidly built and the G wireless cannot reach even the second room down the hall.
I recently got a wireless device and couldn't keep connection in the living room so I was going to add an access point and futzed with the router and everything went down. I got the router back up, disconnected the access point for good, but the Powerlines wouldn't connect. I upgraded the firmware then reset them and finally got Number 1 and Number two powerline online and working. But the farthest point (router at back of house, media at front) is the living room and none of the powerline boxes will work ON THE MEDIA.
I plug in the powerline and the home light comes up, I attached my laptop out there and I connected fine, then I connect one of the media players - the Xbox, apple or blue ray - and the home light goes out media will not connect and the laptop is knocked off. It does this every time now, same media players that worked perfectly before.
I bought a new router (Linksys E4200), wondering if the old just didn't have the signal strength and set that up very easily and the same thing happened - no powerlines work on the media in the living room. Mind you, I did take Apple to a closer room and hook it up to a powerline and it works!
As my Xbox died on one my attempts to plug it in to the powerline. So new xbox cannot connect either. I used to connect from xbox to the pc media center to watch recorded tv and this cannot be done wirelessly, even with the new dual band N router AND a new extender!
Is it true that the FCC is investigating the Pogo game site because of poor security? Is Java the cause of this problem?I'm very leery of getting on the Pogo site because I've been told that my computer could get a virus and crash.
I'm new to IT, and have been put in charge of managing our servers hile my boss is on vacation.We currently have a Sonicwall Network Security Appliance that handles our Firewall/VPN and have web content filtering set in place.I have a user who belongs to 2 CFS policy groups that we have set up. I've double checked with Active Directory, and he is a member of both groups.
This person SHOULD have access to Job searches/ and Restaurants,but receives a "content blocked" message on his browser.It appears to me that the settings in Sonicwall are correct, as well with AD member groups.
I am trying to connect to a Security-enabled wireless netowork. I have the key. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to enter it. When I try to connect I open the "view available networks"window. I see the network name and it shows a strong signal (all 5 green bars).
I opened my iTunes program today and noticed a roommate's MP3 files were picked up on my network. I think the name of the program is Rocket Tube MP3. Anyway, I came on here because our computers use a Wi-Fi internet connection and I was wondering how much of my web activity (history, cookies, temporary files, etc) he could see from my laptop if his computer was a desktop downstairs. He's very tech-savvy (a former IT guy) and I don't want him snooping through my personal records.
We are a non-profit organization that is heavily reliant on interns that use their own laptops a lot here. My concern is they come in and connect to our wireless network with no supervision or anything else. I am worried they will introduce a virus, trojan, or something to our network. What the best way to keep them from introducing unwanted malware from a thumb drive, virus in email, or something to that effect shy of standing over them while they install and run an antivirus software?
I am looking for some resources on what steps would be involved in configuring a Cisco ASA 5500 when obtaining a new ISP. Since our static IP will be changing with the new ISP, just need to know what configurations changes will need to take place. We currently have a working config with DSL, but are switching to cable. We are using a DMZ configuration, and are going to try using ASDM first since that should be easier
There are three Win 7 laptops on the LAN trying to connect to the ASA5500 Firewall. They generate a Severity Level 3 alert and try the same port three times then move to the next numerical port and try that three times. Is this a malicious Hack.
I have been trying to get into one website (url)The world's best online marketplace, List free Classifieds,buy and sell - auction,post a job and get hire from over 1 million top professionals. | Wanaifieds.com and I can't get into the site from my home I can get into the site everywhere else but here I called the service provider and their telling me it's not them they don't block website and the IP is not stationary so their nothing wrong with their end I called the hosting company of the website and they told me they don't block any IP's I don't know what to do I do remember when it was working about 4 days ago I tried something o the site and I messed up and I clicked back instead of putting my password a little box poped up and said something about a certificate or something but I just clicked off and when I tried to get back on the site.
I'm working with Cisco ASDM 6.1 for pix. I want some of ip addresses are not shunned thus provide a list of addresses which should not be shunned in threat detection, but some of ip addresses are shunned yet.
I want to block 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 but my router says invalid domain so if will the guess network be able to go to page 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 even though I don't block it? I have a bypass account but don't want anyone else to access 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1. Also can you tell me some proxy sites I can block?

Hearings On Radicalization Should Educate, Not Inflame
The polarized debate taking place over U.S. Rep. Peter King’s plans to conduct hearings on radicalization among Muslim-American is disturbing.
A coalition of Muslim, human rights, and other religious organizations claims this is an illegitimate and discriminatory inquiry. I disagree.
Muslim-Americans comprise about 1 percent of the U.S population, but account for a far greater percentage of the violent extremism perpetrated inside our borders. Since 9/11, 161 Muslim-Americans have committed terrorist acts or been accused of terrorism crimes, according to a recent study by University of North Carolina sociologist Charles Kurzman. This is hardly a radical insurgency, but it is cause for concern for all Americans, including Muslims.
However, Muslim-Americans who have faced increasing prejudice over recent years are right to be angry about many of King’s prior statements and the direction he has charted for these hearings.
King’s claims that American mosques are hotbeds of radicalism and that Muslim-Americans don’t cooperate with law enforcement are just plain wrong. A research project I led found just the opposite -- Muslim-Americans uniformly reject violent extremism. And, since 9/11, Muslim-Americans have provided information leading to the arrest of 48 Muslim-Americans for terrorism crimes.
The proposed hearings can serve a useful purpose if King re-sets the tone, educates the public about the true nature of the domestic threat, and closely scrutinizes the government’s strategy for countering violent extremism.
To establish the proper framework for this inquiry and his own credibility to lead it, King must acknowledge the difference between radical Islam that produces terrorism and the tolerant, peaceful Islam practiced by the vast majority of Muslim-Americans. This distinction is being lost in our public discourse. Wild accusations that Muslims are trying impose shariah law in America have been stoking public animosity and leading to episodes like the Florida preacher who threatened to burn Korans on the 9/11 anniversary.
As the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, King needs to set the record straight. Most Muslim-Americans abhor violence in the name of Islam, they detest Muslim terrorists who have brought shame to their religion, and they want to solve this problem just as much, if not more, than other Americans.
Once the air is cleared, the hearings can get on to the key point: How do we stop the small number of Muslim-Americans who radicalize to the point of violence?
First, Muslim-American leaders and organizations must explain to both Congress and the American public what they are doing to prevent the spread of radical ideology within their communities. Our study found that Muslim-Americans are both preventing radicals from preaching and pointing out suspicious behavior to law enforcement.
These are important steps, but not enough.
Muslim-Americans must actively confront the concept of “jihadi cool” being shopped to young people over the Internet. Imams trained abroad and out of touch with American culture are ill-equipped to lead this effort. Muslim-American community leaders must take responsibility for crafting the message to their youth.
Muslim-American leaders must do more than condemn terrorist acts after the fact. We need Muslim-American voices speaking out and aggressively refuting bin Laden and al-Awakli’s lies that Islam condones violence against civilians.
Every Muslim-American community in the country should establish a trusted channel of communication with law enforcement. Claims of government discrimination and civil rights abuses against Muslim-Americans have to be addressed. But Muslim-Americans must also accept that legal law enforcement tactics, used every day against organized crime and drug traffickers, can be used to detect potential radicalized terrorists as well.
The committee should also take this opportunity to ask tough questions about what the government is doing to address the threat of domestic radicalization. The terrorism threat has transformed in recent years from centralized, large-scale plots that leave a lot of clues, to smaller attacks by individuals who live in the shadows.
The best way to prevent these attacks is old-fashioned police work based on tips from the community, informants and surveillance, and information-sharing between federal agencies and local authorities. The Bipartisan Policy Center has warned that no one is in charge of this sprawling effort. King’s committee should try to fix this problem.
Striking the right tone for these hearings will be a delicate task. Hearings that educate the American public and improve counterterrorism policy would make an important contribution. Hearings that are accusatory and damage our national unity will surely make us less safe.

The Rainman's Third Cure
An Irregular EducationBook - 2015
The guiding metaphor in Coyote's new spiritual biography is drawn from a line in an early Bob Dylan song, and has become the tale of a young man caught between apparently antipodal options and the journey that leads to wealth and power. Coyote provides readers intimate portraits of mentors that shaped him, as what begins as a peripatetic flirtation with Zen deepens into a life-long avocation, ordination as a priest, and finally the road to Transmission-- acknowledgment from his teacher that he is ready to be an independent teacher.

"Walmart closed stores in Chatham, Kenwood and Little Village — as well as a fourth in Lakeview — last weekend, with its leaders saying those locations weren’t profitable. Neighbors have said they are worried the closures — made after just a few days’ notice — will mean they lose access to affordable groceries, necessities and medicine.
To help, the nonprofit My Block, My Hood, My City and Top Box Foods gave away 1,000 boxes of food Sunday in the Chatham Walmart parking lot — and group leaders have vowed to hold more distributions. They’ll do monthly events to support neighbors who now must travel further to buy what they need, they said."

Ancient cities chose symbols for their coinage that represented the founding mythology, a characteristic feature of the economy or the city’s devotion to a particular deity. This beautifully minted silk finish gold coin resembles this early circulating money with it’s classic design and visible relief of the motif.
For the wealthy city of Akragas on Sicily this was the crab. Some believe the animal associates with Poseidon. Others suggest a connection to the Greek river-god Akragas.

Lyon knock Cristiano Ronaldo out of Champions League again
Lyon again proved Cristiano Ronaldo's nemesis in the last 16 of the Champions League as Juventus were knocked out on Friday.
Cristiano Ronaldo had been an ever-present in the Champions League quarter-finals for 10 years, but Friday's exit to Lyon might have felt a little too familiar.
Ronaldo's Juventus crashed out on away goals - despite a 2-1 second-leg victory - as their number seven could only score twice after Memphis Depay's penalty doubled Lyon's aggregate advantage.
The result brought an end to the Portuguese's streak of appearances in the last eight of the competition, yet the tie was surprisingly similar to his previous round-of-16 exit.
When Ronaldo last fell at this hurdle in 2009-10, Real Madrid - then enjoying his first season in Spain - were also dumped out by Lyon.
The French side, as this season, built on their 1-0 advantage from the first leg at home and a Ronaldo goal proved only enough for a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Ronaldo has now scored against Lyon for three clubs, but he might well be keen to see the back of this particular opponent.

In 1846, Cecelia, a 15-year-old slave girl traveled to Niagara Falls with her young Louisville mistress, Frances “Fanny” Thruston Ballard. During their stay, Cecelia made the bold decision to escape, to endure separation from her mother and brother, still enslaved in Kentucky, in order to begin life anew as a free woman in Canada. Yet the separation gnawed at her. So in the 1850s she opened a correspondence with Fanny, as a way of re-establishing connection with her mother. Fanny's return letters, preserved in Louisville archives for a century, allow a glimpse into the thoughts, feelings, and negotiations between these two women as the United States moved inexorably toward civil war over the issue of human slavery. The story of this 50-year relationship between a former slave and her former mistress brings to life the web of family connections forged by slavery and illustrates the ways that race, class, and gender structured women's lives in the nineteenth century.

DJ Martin Garrix: India is special
World's No. 1 DJ Martin Garrix discusses being on top and why he loves returning to India
DJ Martin Garrix
Leading the list on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs in 2016 inevitably makes 20-year-old Martin Garrix one of the most sought-after international artistes. The Dutch DJ, record producer and musician arrived in India to perform to a full house at Sunburn Arena last week. We caught up with him on the sidelines of his gig to discuss the pressures of being World No. 1, his love for India and why Indian music lovers are special to him.
Edited excerpts from the chat:
Being the world's numero uno DJ puts a lot of pressure on you?
The appreciation means a lot. I will continue doing what I have been doing, so there's no pressure. I am honoured that I get to do what I love while travelling the world. It feels weird to be ranked higher than my idols Tiësto and Calvin Harris, who I have been listening to for years. It's an honour to win something like this at the age of 20.
You have performed in India on multiple occasions. How different is each visit?
India is special. I love the people and the culture. I get so much love and respect every time I come here. Indians are very polite and I enjoy the energy they bring to a party. Every gig is a chance to do something new.
What do you like the most about the country and its people?
It's difficult to handpick a single thing. It's a culturally rich country. The audience is receptive to dance-music and it's growing. It's inspiring to perform in front of so many enthusiastic fans, who always want more. I can keep coming back to this country. I love the food, too.
Are you familiar with Indian musicians?
I listen to Indian music, but I don't know the names of the artistes.
Is there an Indian collaboration in the pipeline?
None as yet.
Currently, who are your favourite EDM artistes?
Tiësto, Calvin Harris and The Chainsmokers.
Tiësto plays an important part in your DJing career, right?
Yes, definitely. I watched him perform during the ceremony of the Olympics. That inspired me to try electronic music. If I hadn't seen that performance, my life would have probably turned out differently.

BOYS SOCCER: Cleveland moves to quarterfinals with 4-1 victory over Sherwood (11/6/12)
November 8, 2012By Steve McCrea of Cleveland High School
Cleveland 4, Sherwood 1
The Cleveland men's soccer team returned to Sherwood Tuesday night determined to prove they were the better team, after outplaying the Bowmen earlier in the season but ending up with a tie due to two late PKs awarded to Sherwood. They accomplished that goal in fine style, outplaying the Bowmen from start to finish at both ends of the pitch, and senior Cameron Craig managed to celebrate his birthday with two Warrior goals.
Cleveland got on the board at the 12 minute mark, when junior Mo Abdikadir fought for a ball on the sideline and crossed it to junior Mudy Abdikadir, who knocked it home from just inside the top of the box to put the Warriors up 1-0.
Sherwood sophomore Connor Carraher got free in the right corner in the 13th minute and nearly connected with senior Nathan Anderson in the box. A minute later, Anderson hit a corner kick to senior Charlie Paul, who headed the ball just over the bar for the Bowmen.
In the 18th minute, junior Mudy Abdikadir got a ball from the right side in to senior Nick Van Marter for a good look from the top of the box that just missed to the right.
Cleveland's second goal came in the 35th minute, when Mudy took a wide angle shot that caromed off the Sherwood keeper and was put home by senior Cameron Craig from about 6 yards out. Junior keeper Hubie Charman made a nice save on a hard outside shot by Anderson a minute later, and the Warriors went into halftime up 2-0.
Sherwood came out on the attack in the second half, getting three good shots off in the 44th-45th minute of play. Carraher first took a shot from the right side that Charman made a good save on. The ensuing corner kick led to a shot toward the right post that Charman knocked just wide. Another corner was awarded, and Carraher headed the cross just over the bar.
Cleveland almost got a third goal 9 minutes into the half, as Nick Van Marter hit a hard shot from inside the left side of the box. Sherwood senior Brogan Kearsley made the save, but the rebound bounced free and the Warriors were able to get another shot off from close range, that Kearsly was able to pounce on.
Cleveland fans had a touch of deja vu in the 55th minute, as the Warriors were called for a foul in the box and Sherwood was awarded a PK. Nathan Anderson converted the PK for the Bowmen, and the score was 2-1, creating an eerie sense of similarity to their tie game earlier in the season. Sherwood got another shot in the 58th minute, but then the Warriors started to crank up offensively.
Adrien Baures got off a good shot from the left side in the 59th minute. 7 minutes later, he threw in the ball from the left side to junior Kevin Elliott McCrea, who touched it back to him and screened off the defense. Baures hit a high ball that cleared the keeper and dropped in under the right side of the goal to put Cleveland up 3-1 and seal the victory.
The Warriors almost went up 4-1 in the 69th minute, when Elliott McCrea put a lovely pass between two defenders and sent Mudy in on a breakaway, but the keeper was able to cut down the angle and deflect Mudy's shot wide.
Cleveland put the icing on Cameron Craig's birthday cake in the 72nd minute when Craig scored his secong goal, on an assist from Nick Van Marter, and the Warriors completed a convincing 4-1 victory over the #7 ranked team in division 5A.
The Warriors now move on to a quarterfinal match on Saturday 11/10 on the road against #2 Summit High in Bend, time TBA. We hope as many Cleveland fans as possible can make it over the mountains to cheer on their Warriors!

Major League Baseball finally is going to push steroids out of the game. It took pressure from Congress and the derision of fans to force that, but it's going to happen.
The players union this week acknowledged what baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has been saying for months. Selig knew that baseball had to take a very hard line on performance-enhancing drugs or the legitimacy of the game would be lost.
The union has agreed to a proposal made by Selig in April: Three strikes and you're out. Ballplayers who are caught using illegal steroids will be suspended for 50 games on a first offense, 100 games on a second offense. A third offense will bring a lifetime ban from baseball.
That will discourage players from taking a chance. A first-time ban of nearly one-third of a season is significant. It carries a huge financial cost for players and will brand them indelibly as cheaters. Selig's new rules also crack down for the first time on amphetamines, which team managers say is a bigger problem than steroid abuse.
It's a good guess that the players' resistance to such stiff sanctions crumbled after a potential Hall of Famer, the Orioles' Rafael Palmeiro, was suspended in August for steroid use less than three months after he told Congress he had never used such drugs.
The House Government Reform Committee decided last week not to pursue perjury charges based on his testimony. But Palmeiro faced an even stiffer sanction. Not from baseball--he received only a 10-day suspension, the maximum first-time penalty available at the time. He was severely sanctioned by fans, who hooted him so loudly he was forced to wear earplugs during some games. Finally, his team sent him home before the season was over.
The fans were unforgiving, and Palmeiro's career is forever tainted. So in a sense, the players union has now merely caught up with baseball fans.
Baseball had to adopt three strikes and you're out for its very survival. If fans could turn against Rafael Palmeiro, they could just as well turn against the game.
