What many people in the network world need is a workflow sherpa - someone to carry the automation load as they ascend the automation Everest so they can get a peak of the valley on the other side. Talking about the millionth step before having taken the first is premature and not extremely helpful.
The networking world remains abuzz about software-defined networking (SDN). Much has been said about the disruptive nature of this technology and how it will make network management easier while reducing costs. I've contributed to the discussion too, as has Juniper's founder Pradeep Sindhu in this video. All of this has generated a tremendous amount of online chatter in communities that live, sleep and breathe networking – but what is everyone really saying? Is anyone beyond the networking cocoon talking about SDN?
So what do these companies have in common? They are all going to be on the panel at the MIT/Stanford Veture Lab's (VLAB) upcoming "The Revolution of Software Defined Networks." The event is Tuesday, October 16, from 7p-8:30p at Stanford University (click here for full event details).
Software-defined networking, or SDN, is emerging as a trend in networking that's attracting huge attention from vendors, media and industry analysts. Our temptation is to compare SDN investments, product offerings, technologies, and engineering skills to see who we think will rise to the top. This is the equivalent of picking the Super Bowl favorites as we head into training camp. It is fun to do, and chances are some of us will guess right. But ultimately it's too early today to pick winners – Super Bowl or SDN.
We are currently embroiled in a policy war that will ultimately shape how the Internet is designed, built, and used. The implications could be far-reaching, altering in significant ways who has access to what information and how both individuals and companies do businessover the Internet. And all of this is happening with very little fanfare. If the stakes are so high, why are so few people paying close attention?
A little over 3 years ago, Air France Flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris disappeared mid-flight. In the years since, there has been a ton of research, analysis, and speculation to determine what exactly caused the Airbus A320-200 to crash. The parallels between this tragedy and the networking world are striking. In an SDN world, is there something we can learn from how Boeing and Airbus design planes?
So when I started this blog, I said that I would tackle technology topics from a strategic perspective. In terms of technologies, is there a hotter topic in our industry than SDN? And is there anything more "strategic" than the ubiquitous 2x2 matrix? Methinks the answer to both is 'no'.
There are lots of blogs that detail technologies from a technology perspective. I'm going to take a run at explaining technologies and trends from a strategic perspective. There is a lot of discussion about SDN, but are the fears (or hopes, depending on your reference point) about commoditization well founded? Will the IETF/ITU-T battle royale have major implications? Those are the types of discussions we want to tee up here. And we are just getting started.
When you benefit so heavily from the work of so many selfless individuals, you just have to give back when you can. So when I found out that the FreeBSD assets were moving from a datacenter in Santa Clara to another datacenter literally right across the street, I jumped at the opportunity to help. The cluster administrator for the hosting datacenter reached out to one of our FreeBSD committers and asked if we could provide some switches so they could support the work. In response, we gave them three EX3200s with full support contracts – free of charge.
Today the networking world has been all 'a-twitter' about Nicira; the networking start up who earlier this morning unveiled its network virtualization solution. Based on some of the analysis I've read, you'd think a gaping hole has opened up underneath Mathilda Ave. and Tasman Drive, destined to swallow the fortunes of network infrastructure vendors. But fear not; the reality is far more interesting -- and exciting.
As Juniper CEO Kevin Johnson revealed during his keynote this morning at our Global Partner Conference in Las Vegas, Forrester Research has once again validated the extraordinary real-world benefits delivered by Junos. The new Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) study on Junos finds our customers achieving a 42% reduction in network operations costs in 3.7 months.
Forrester worked with four of our enterprise customers to get feedback on experiences they've had with our products. According to the analysis:
The report (attached) also includes highlights from the in-depth customer interviews. One customer comment sums it up: "My team loves the Junos software."

WatchTime received an unexpected visit this week from Frederic Gasser of the French watch manufacturer BRM, who was anxious to show us the brand's new timepiece, the Mak 44. It features a case made of Makrolon — according to Gasser, the material used in the windshields of racecars — and a skeletonized movement visible through the clear dial. Additional parts are made (many at the company's workshop in France) from a lightweight titanium and its automatic movement — based on an ETA Valjoux … [Read more...]

Ulysse Nardin's Smartphone: Where Tech Meets Mech
As exciting as it is to experience all the new watches at the Baselworld watch fair, there is always the risk of "watch overload" setting in, which is why the occasional, rare foray into Accessories Land is often a welcome diversion. Usually, these items are limited to devices such as winders and clocks, but I found this year's most intriguing accessory gleaming under a spotlight behind one of the porthole-shaped vitrines of Ulysse Nardin's nautical-themed booth: namely, the company's … [Read more...]

So basically i have this method.
public List<Customer> FilterCustomersByStatus(List<Customer> source, string status)
return (List<Customer>)source.Where(c => c.Status == status);
I throws me an error that it cannot cast:
Unable to cast object of type 'WhereListIterator`1[AppDataAcces.Customer]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[AppDataAcces.Customer]'.
Why...? since the underlying type is the same, does the Enumerable.Where create a new instance of WhereListIterator and if so why would anyone do this, because thats an unnecessary loss of performance and functionality since i always have to create a new list (.ToList())

Hi teachers,
Which term is better, 'quantity words' or 'quantity expressions' as a title for
'a lot of, lots of, many, some, a few, etc.'?
Thanks in advance
They are called quantifiers.
I suppose they could, but why do you want to use two words when the single, correct grammatical term is available?

Lowest Mortgage Rates Available With Loan Love's Live Rate Quotes
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- LoanLove.com is a borrower advice website that provides detailed insights into the mortgage industry in a fun and entertaining way. The team at LoanLove.com is devoted to help empower both first time and experienced homeowners with valuable resources, first-class knowledge and connections to top-rated industry professionals and has the mission of helping consumers and borrowers to obtain the latest information on mortgage lending trends, the real estate market and the U.S. financial landscape in order to help them obtain a home loan that they will love. Now, with the market looking at the lowest mortgage rates in several months, Loan Love seeks to help their readers make the most of the current decreasing trend by helping them find the best possible loan products with their new live rate quote tool.
These new lower rates are the best that they have been in four months. An article by Mortgage News Daily posted on October 18th, says: "Mortgage rates fell only slightly today, but with yesterday already near 4-month lows, today's moderate improvement makes it official--at least in terms of closing cost. The actual interest rate that the best qualified buyers are likely to be quoted isn't any lower than the previous 4.25% (best-execution). The gains would instead be seen in the form of slightly lower closing costs, or slightly higher lender credit depending on the scenario. Very little happened today to inspire market movement. There was no significant economic data and no surprising clues about Fed policy. Before, during, and after the shutdown, we've maintained that bond markets are most intently focused on the official Employment Situation Report."
Loan Love's live rate quote tool can help borrowers to stay ahead of any increases by finding and applying for the best mortgage loans today. The easy to use tool allows for fast comparison among dozens of different loans that perfectly match the loan borrower's specific mortgage needs. Borrowers can sort the loans available by posted rate, annual percentage rate, points in APR, closing fees, estimated monthly payment and more. This, along with the mortgage calculators which are also available on Loan Love's website, can facilitate a fast loan process and enable the loan borrower to make the smartest financial decisions which could save them hundreds, and even thousands of dollars.
With the Employment report set to come out soon, there really is no telling where mortgage rates will head once it is released. Those who are content with current rates (which are very low compared to what was available just a short while ago) and who do not want to risk any costly increases in the future should take full advantage of the tools and information that Loan Love has provided for their readers.
For more information on the lowest mortgage interest rates, and to use Loan Love's live rate quote tool, please visit LoanLove.com.

Art Institute of Chicago Extends IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION AND MODERNITY Exhibit Through 9/29
Due to the enthusiastic response to the exhibition IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION AND MODERNITY, the Art Institute has added an additional week of viewing to accommodate demand. IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION AND MODERNITY will now run through Sunday, September 29, 2013.
The Art Institute exhibition-which the Chicago Tribune called "a sophisticated and exquisite display of Impressionist masterpieces . . . as insightful as it is pleasurable" and the Chicago Sun-Timeslabeled "the biggest and most important Impressionist presentation to be on display there in nearly two decades"-has won critical praise and attracted large crowds throughout its world tour.
The groundbreaking and critically acclaimed exhibition IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION AND MODERNITY, which opened in Paris in October 2012, lands at the Art Institute this summer as the final stop on its world tour. Organized by the Art Institute of Chicago, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, the exhibition broke attendance records in Paris and has been lauded by international and national critics alike. Roberta Smith of the New York Times called the New York presentation a "thrilling, erudite show" with "visual fireworks, historical clarity, and pitch-perfect contextualizing." Vogueproclaimed the show "breathtaking" for its portrayal of "art's passionate love affair with fashion in the boulevards and salons of late 19th-century France." And now audiences in Chicago will be able to spend the summer with the first exhibition to explore the role of fashion in the revolutionary Impressionist movement.
Featuring over 75 major figure paintings by the Impressionists and their contemporaries in tandem with
the couture that inspired them, IMPRESSION, FASHION AND MODERNITY stunningly demonstrates how, in the hands of the Impressionist painters, the movement of a perfectly executed dress, the seasonal change in styles, and the increasing availability of fashionable clothing all became instruments in defining modernity. The works in the exhibition, many of them rarely or never before seen in Chicago, tell the story of late 19th-century Paris-then the world's undisputed style capital-and how its new department tores, ready-made clothing, fashion magazines, and burgeoning middle class all inspired artists seeking a new visual language to accompany their times. The exhibition includes large-scale works by luminaries such as Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat, Alfred Stevens, and James Tissot. For the presentation of the exhibition in Chicago, the Art Institute collaborated with international opera director Robert Carsen to conceive an immersive installation unlike any other presented at the museum.
"IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION AND MODERNITY is precisely the type of exhibition that the Art Institute does best," said Douglas Druick, President and Eloise W. Martin Director of the museum. "With pioneering scholarship, the exhibition brings fresh perspectives to landmark works of art of the period and infuses them, and their historical era, with a new vibrancy and immediacy. IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION and MODERNITY is also a testament to our close relationship with our colleagues in Paris and New York. It would not have been possible without their generosity and collegiality, particularly Guy Cogeval, the president and director of the Musée d'Orsay."
"Working with paintings of this caliber is, of course, thrilling for a curator," said Gloria Groom, David and Mary Winton Green Curator of Nineteenth-Century European Painting and Sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago. "But equally exciting is to be able to add dimensions to the works of art by the presentation of period dresses and accessories, many of which, thanks to exhibition curator Susan Stein, were lent by multiple departments at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Establishing the conversation between the paintings and actual artifacts-dresses, gloves, corsets, parasols-and working with Robert Carsen on their presentation have both made this exhibition a singular experience for the Art Institute."
Major funding for IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION AND MODERNITY at the Art Institute has been generously provided by Alexandra and John Nichols. "When Gloria Groom approached us four years ago about her idea for this exhibition, we were impressed by her exceptional vision and creativity to present the connection between Impressionism and fashion from the 1860s to the 1880s. We are even more excited now that Gloria's important and beautiful exhibition has come to fruition and has been seen and enjoyed by people in Paris and New York and will, very soon, be welcomed in Chicago."
Chase and J.P. Morgan are the Corporate Sponsors of the exhibition at the Art Institute.
The exhibition takes visitors deep into Paris in the second half of the 19th century. The city was then thebustling center of a rapidly changing Europe and home to scores of artists seeking to capture the pulse and nuances of modern life. The Impressionist artists found fashion to be the perfect vehicle for defining and expressing modernity. The daring shapes and cuts of dresses and suits, rapidly changing styles, and the birth of department stores and fashion magazines all embodied a modern spirit that was lived and captured by artists drawn to the dynamic city. The first exhibition to draw this connection between fashion and painting during this period, IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION AND MODERNITY charts the economic, commercial, social, and artistic changes that upended the existing order and replaced it with something more closely resembling life today.

UPDATE: Canaccord Genuity Initiates Vical at Buy on Product Platforms
Canaccord Genuity initiated its coverage on Vical (NASDAQ: VICL) with a Buy rating and a price target of $7.
Canaccord Genuity noted, "Initiating with a BUY, $7 target based on potential of Allovectin in metastatic melanoma (met mel) and our belief in the long-term value of VICL's CMV franchise. We expect widespread use in patients with unresectable melanoma given its clean safety profile and ease of use. We also see blockbuster potential for the CMV franchise – out licensed TransVax and wholly owned CyMVectin – noting the blockbuster potential given unmet need in a large population. Our $7 target is based in pNPV analysis."
Vical closed at $4.33 on Thursday.

Federal guide would allow banking services for pot firms
The federal government is set to unveil in the next few days a way for legal pot merchants to use banking services. It may not be enough to allay concerns of some banks.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The federal government is set to unveil in the next few days a way for legal pot merchants to use banking services.
U.S. Rep. Denny Heck, D-Olympia, said Thursday he expects the federal government's new guidance for banks and bank regulators will be released "imminently."
That guidance should provide legal marijuana businesses with a "full range of banking services, including accepting credit cards, direct depositing payroll checks and more," Heck said. The businesses will no longer be forced to operate as cash-only, making it safer to implement the voter-approved recreational pot industries in Washington and Colorado.
Federally insured banks now refuse to provide services to legal marijuana businesses because of the federal prohibition of all marijuana.
A member of the House Committee on Financial Services, Heck has said an all-cash industry "is setting out the welcome mat to organized crime and disorganized crime." The lack of banking and credit-card services is considered one of the most serious problems facing the new legal industries in Colorado and Washington.
Heck, along with U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, of Colorado, has pressed banking regulators for a fix. The two also have sponsored legislation that would allow banks to serve legal pot businesses. But that bill is not expected to be adopted by Congress anytime soon.
The governors of Washington and Colorado also have implored top federal financial regulators to come up with a solution.
In a statement Tuesday, Heck did not specify when the banking guidance was going to be announced. He was not available for further comment. A spokesman declined to comment on Heck's statement.
Regulators and industry representatives started high-level confidential meetings on the issue several months ago. A Treasury Department spokesman said "no comment yet" on a coming announcement.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last month that he expected guidance to be announced "very soon." Holder explained that such guidance wasn't an endorsement of legal marijuana but an attempt to deal with the reality of regulated production and sale of pot in Colorado and Washington.
Guidance wouldn't have the same force as law. It would likely be similar to the Justice Department's much-awaited memo in August that said the two states could go ahead with their marijuana experiments as long as they adhered to eight federal priorities such as keeping legal pot from minors and from being diverted to other states. If they didn't, they could be prosecuted, the memo said.
A top executive at the American Banking Association (ABA) said last month the industry needs more than a guidance memo, it needs Congress to change the law that makes marijuana a Schedule 1 illegal drug, on par with heroin.
Otherwise, state and federal laws remain in conflict, and banks are wary of crossing the feds without ironclad assurances they won't be prosecuted by future presidential administrations.
"Guidance can change in 24 hours. Banks are very leery of the industry," said Rob Rowe, vice president and senior counsel at ABA. "One of the things bankers tell me is you never know when a prosecutor will go after banks for violating federal law by aiding and abetting criminal activity."
A guidance memo wouldn't tell the Justice Department they can't prosecute, Rowe noted. It essentially tells prosecutors they have better ways to spend their time, he said. "As long as Congress hasn't changed anything we're sitting on the sidelines," Rowe said.
Heck acknowledged that guidance would not be a complete solution. He said some financial institutions may continue to decline serving legal pot businesses.

EA Australia's promotional Lamborghini has been rolling around the streets of Sydney this week, dolled up like an orange cab as part of the city's taxi fleet. It's not terribly exciting or newsworthy by itself, but we found this article published in Sydney's daily telegraph rather amusing:
As new mobile phone laws come into effect today in NSW, banning motorists from touching their phones, this police officer was photographed using his phone to take a photo of the Lamborghini beside him.The article goes on to explain that the popo are indeed exempt, providing that it's for work-related purposes, which we presume involves taking happy snaps of exotic cars.
The photo, which amusingly also appears to have been taken from the drivers seat of the photographer's car, contrasts the activities in Need for Speed Most Wanted, which is centred around high speed pursuits between outlaws and law enforcement.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted launches today in Australia for PC PS3, Xbox 360 and PS Vita, along with Android and iOS versions, with a Wii U version to follow that console's release. AusGamers will have a full review in the coming days.

Katie Price suspected Kieran Hayler was cheating
Katie Price was reportedly worried her husband Kieran Hayler had been cheating on her with her best friend Jane Pountney for ages.
Katie Price suspected Kieran Hayler had been cheating on her ''for weeks''.
The glamour model launched into a foul-mouthed Twitter tirade yesterday (07.05.14) when she stumbled across her husband allegedly having a ''full blown sexual affair'' with her ''homewrecker s**t'' friend Jane Pountney, claiming it had been going on for seven months.
However, it seems Katie - who has only just discovered she is six months pregnant with her fifth child, her second with Kieran after baby Jett was born last August - had suspected her husband of 16 months was being unfaithful for a while and was stunned when her worries were confirmed.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: ''Katie was concerned the spark seemed to have gone and had her suspicions something was going on. But when she confronted Kieran he always told her that
''Over the last few months Kieran was making snide comments about how she doesn't make an effort. He was moaning how she could be rude and coarse with him. It was obvious that the honeymoon period was over.
''She never believed Kieran would actually go through with anything. But the evidence started to build up.''
Following the explosive outburst, during which Katie also branded her best pal Jane - who she has known since she was 15 - a ''clone'' and a ''w***e'', the feisty star issued a more pragmatic statement on her website, confirming she intended to divorce part-time stripper Kieran as soon as possible.
But Jane's husband Derrick had a different opinion after the foursome met for crisis talks yesterday afternoon at the Pountneys' home near Horsham, West Sussex, insisting Katie - formerly known as Jordan - and Jane had cleared the air and the infidelity was simply a ''storm in a teacup''.
He said in a statement: ''There has not been a 'full blown' affair going on, it was more like a drunken kiss. There were tears shed here today.
''But Katie and Jane talked, they have been friends a long time and they are OK now. A lot of this drama has been a storm in a teacup and there are a lot of misunderstandings to sort out.
''This 'affair' has not really happened like it has been portrayed. I've known about it for about four weeks myself. All four of us are good friends, but things between Kieran and Jane just went a bit far.''

Write a construction app, keep 70% of the profits
| May 15, 2009 |
Unless you follow the doings at Apple Corp. as obsessively as my kids do, you may not have realized that the company has invited its customers to write applications (software programs) for its iPhone. If they accept your app, they give you 70 percent of the revenues. What's that got to do with construction?
Nothing until just recently when a carpenter/deck builder wrote a program that lets you instantly calculate the spacing of deck balusters on an iPhone. This guy probably won't make enough money to retire on, but the whole concept of letting outsiders into your business development is a significant trend that will rewrite the rules in the future. If you're interested the book Wikinomics, explains the trend in some detail. And if you have an idea for a cool program you'd like to sell to Apple, construction related or not, here's the Apple iPhone developers website for more information.
