PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!

As a resident of Louisiana, I ask that you all pray not only for those poor souls in New Orleans but for the whole state and surrounding areas.  The aftermath effect is going to be widespread. PRAY!   We are already experiencing food supply shortages.  Woman fighting over a loaf of bread in a Wal-Mart. PRAY!  Our kids may not be able to start school because there is no diesel or gas for the buses.  PRAY!  For this I urge all you have enormous SUVs just to ride around in to get rid of them.  The worst is yet to come.  PRAY!  There are reports of the centers having out breaks of riots not only in New Orleans but in the other areas housing the displaced people.  PRAY!  Also, help any way you can.  If you can not afford monetary donations, please give your time at one of the shelters. 

All our lives have and/or will change from this tragedy no matter where you live.

My biggest venture before my daughter became pregnant with twin girls was a ripple stitch baby blanket. No problem there, right?

I decided to do a a layette including little teeny sweaters for each.  The directions were a mess when I got to the sweater sleeves so I just put the directions up and went by instinct (as in, how would you expect it to look). The sleeves actually came out slightly belled on the bottom but the sweaters were adorable.

Keep in mind that crocheted is never as smooth as knitted. I can't knit because I am severely right hand dominant and my left hand holds the knitting needle and says HUH? :)

If wrong sides together don't look right, do as the poster below said, rip it out and try it the other way.

As my mom always used to say about sewing:  "As ye sew, so shall ye rip."

In defense of the North and South directions.  In the state I grew up in, you did not use directions of N, S, E or W.  It was you turn right or left.  I to this day do not know N, S, E, W when I an trying to find directions.  I have to tell people to tell me right or left, and I am no dummy.  I went to 3 years of college to get my degree in Medical Technology.  Please do not ask me what state, as I love that state, even though I had to move from there, and I don't want it bashed.

In Windows, how do I check my computer's IP address or physical (aka MAC) address?

Windows NT, 2000, and XP

To see what IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask your computer is using:

1. Click the Start button and select All Programs (XP) or Programs (NT and 2000).
   
   
   
2. Select Accessories, then Command Prompt (2000 and XP), or Command Prompt (NT).
   
   
   
3. At the command prompt, enter: ipconfig
   
4. To close the command prompt, enter: exit

For other IP information on Windows, including the physical address, at the command prompt, enter:

This will give you information regarding your computer's TCP/IP setup, including:

Host name
DNS servers
Physical address
IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
WINS servers

The IP address will be a series of numbers following the pattern xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, 156.56.27.32.

The physical address, which many people call the MAC address, will be a series of six hexadecimal number pairs following the pattern xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, for example, 00-40-A4-F3-C0-01.

Note: If you have more than one active network adapter, you will see multiple entries here. Many laptop users nowadays have at least two adapters: one for the regular Ethernet adapter, and one for the wireless 802.11b or 802.11g card. Some computers will have three entries or more (for example, for either an infrared or a Bluetooth adapter). Sometimes it's easy to distinguish between the two (for example, one of them will say "wireless" next to "Description:"), but other times it's not (the description will give only a manufacturer and model). You may have to consult the manufacturer's documentation for your computer to tell which section of the ipconfig/all | more output refers to which network adapter.

Windows XP, without using the command prompt

Alternatively, in Windows XP, if you want to find this information and want to stay within the graphic user interface, or for any reason do not want to use DOS commands, you can find this information by doing the following:

1. Right-click the My Network Places icon, and then select Properties.
   
   
   
2. Double-click the Local Area Connection icon. Occasionally, there will be a number on the end (e.g., Local Area Connection 2); it depends on your computer's configuration. If you are looking for the MAC address for a wireless adapter, the icon will normally be named Wireless Network Connection.
   
   
   
3. Click the Support tab.
   
   
   
4. Click the Details... button.

The physical address (MAC address) and IP address will be listed in the window that appears.

Windows 95, 98, and Me

To check your computer's IP address or physical address, follow the steps below:

1. Click the Start button and select Run... .
   
   
   
2. Type winipcfg and click OK.
   
   
   
3. From the drop-down menu, select the adapter being used for your connection:
   
   
   
   
   
   • Select PPP Adapter if you're dialing in.
     
     
   • Select the Ethernet adapter if you're connected to a LAN or a broadband connection.
     
     
   • Select the wireless adapter if you're connected via wireless.

The IP address will appear in its labeled field. The MAC address will appear in a field labeled Adapter Address.

Alternatively, you may follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button and select Settings, then Control Panel.
   
   
   
2. Double-click Network. Select TCP/IP, then click Properties.

The IP address appears under the IP Address page tab.

Note: If you are using Dial-up Networking (i.e., PPP) or DHCP (campus housing at Indiana University Bloomington uses DHCP), the IP address is dynamically assigned by the terminal server, and Obtain an IP address automatically should be selected.

Note: You can use the Get Connected web site to register your Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X (10.3 and later) computer to use the IU network in campus housing. Computers running Windows 2000 or Linux, as well as game consoles, must be manually registered. For help, contact the UITS Support Center at IUB by calling 812-855-6789 or at IUPUI by calling 317-274-4357. You cannot register Windows 95, 98, or Me on the IU network in campus housing.

would like to purchase a DAC-125 unit for transcribing.  Please let me know if you have one of these for sale.

Ask for referral for whatever it is you need help with, i.e. electric bill, mortgage, etc.  You absolutely cannot apply for unemployment as an IC. You may also consider applying for emergency public assistance by contacting the department of human resources in your county.

will allow my kids to stay on until they are 26 if they are not married and still living at home, whether they are in college or not.  I double checked about it, and it's true.  Also my dental is the same way but a different carrier.

Well, I am about to use my vision coverage insurance for United Health Care.  Eye Exam 2000 said they only covered 15-20% of the exam, 20% of cost of lens/glasses.  I have never heard of such a low amount covered.  I guess I have the wrong plan.  Anyone else disappointed with United Health Care benefits besides me?  I work for a large national.

Thanks.  I guess I am hoping someone will tell me I am wrong and that 80% of the bill is covered.  That this is all a mistake.
