Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/j8zv7s/network) has announced the addition of the "Network Infrastructure Virtualization: Transforming Telecommunications and Managed Services" report to their offering.
Historically, telecom operators have looked to infrastructure providers, service bureau companies and traditional managed communication services companies for infrastructure and related services. A recent industry trend has been to outsource infrastructure as a service as a means of reducing Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and to use as negotiation leverage for improved pricing on next generation networks such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and LTE infrastructure such as Voice over LTE (VoLTE).
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a telecom led initiative that aims to utilize standard IT virtualization technology to consolidate many telco network equipment types onto industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage. NFV involves implementing network functions in software that can run on a range of industry standard server hardware, and that can be moved to, or instantiated in, various locations in the network as required, without the need to install new proprietary equipment.
This report evaluates the impact of virtualization on managed services including communications, applications, content, and commerce.
The report includes market outlook, forecasts 2014 - 2019, and specific recommendations for industry constituents.

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong. The complexity of today's applications have gone far and beyond the capabilities of "traditional" system-level monitoring tools and approaches and requires much broader knowledge of business and applications as a whole. The goal of DevOps is to connect all aspects of app...

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

6 Responses to SBI MLS Goal of the Week: Clint Dempsey
It is a good thing OBA followed it up, because while watching I am about 99% sure the AR and the CR didn't see it cross the line.
AR was doing his assigned job of watching the offside line and with the power on the ball there is no way either would have seen it.
That being said can we please gt goal line technology.
I like that the guys that assign the to players can watch a replay to determine who gets the goal but it can't be done to determine if there was even a goal.
well, what do you know? the guy really is worth $6.5mil
Good to see him rounding into form. He should start in Jozy's position on the point.
Yep. He's scored the majority of his goals in his career as a target forward. No need to have him making late runs into the box or dropping into midfield to help with possession or initiate the attack…
I detect your sarcasm, but he's genuinely not suited to that role at the international level. He does not have the work rate or passing skill. He either needs to share duty in a 4-4-2 or play as a target so he can lay off a pass and then lose his mark on a forward run. That will let him play that drifting role he insists on playing without leaving us light in midfield while he flops over waiting for a foul call.

We will be attending a friends wedding on September 1, 2012 in Perast Montenegro. While we will be travelling from GA, we are flying to Zagreb, then Split and are looking for suggestions on modes of transportation to visit as follows:
Aug 28 Arrive Zagreb (thinking of 9 hour layover or spend the night)
Fly to Split, staying in Dombrovnik at the Hilton.
Aug 30 take a day trip to Medjugorie, Bosnia
September 1 is the wedding which will take place in Perast
Returning to Zagreb from Split on September 2, then GA the next morning.
Is there public transportation or should we rent a car and if so, is driving pretty easy there? The roads and traffic, I mean. Should we just keep the base as the Hilton in Dombrovnik or try to get a hotel around Perast?
Thank you for any suggestions!!
Medjugorie, Dombrovnik, Montenegro

Zahul: Do I understand? My interpretation is that you are flying to Split from Zagreb, and then staying in DUbrovnik which is a four hour auto trip from Split..by bus a little longer (no trains)..or are you planning to fly from Split to DUbrovnik if there is a flight available? A day trip from either Split or DUbrovnik to Medjugorje is feasible. It is located quite close to popular Mostar, and to the Croatian border...about midway, more or less between, Split and DUbrovnik. Note proper spelling for DUbrovnik)
Renting a car in Split will give you much more flexibility for your plan. Several of us here have driven all around the former Yugoslavia..the infrastructure has improved and the drivers are tolerable, if a bit aggressive around curves.
There are bus possibiities from either Split or DUbrovnik. After all Med is a popular tourist destination. If you decide to stay in DUbrovnik, the curvy, scenic highway to Perast is about 100kms. If you'll be drinking at the wedding, reconsider driving back to DUbrovnik, please.
To get Fodor contributors to respond, please straighten out those few questioning assumptions I've made. I hope we can help.

The Week In Music With David P. Weber
20/11/2014 , 7:30 PM by David P. Weber | Comments (0)
The 'news' continues, album sales are down and may not recover, despite the best efforts of Taylor Swift and Pink Floyd and Annie Lennox and Foo Fighters, who are all shifting units as 2014 draws to a close.
While old hands like Bryan Ferry are still making new music in an album format (Floyd's is made up of reworked material originally recorded in the 1990s), Queen and David Bowie are re-releasing old gear with a few tasty rarities.
Younger acts are still focused on the album, as are the world's deeper listeners.
Here are three more creditworthy albums of 2014.
Mister & Sunbird is a band which includes the most innovative group of players to be on any album released in Western Australia.
Their influences are remarkably vast, taking in a range of ethnic musics and only occasionally falling back on tried and true forms like ska, barroom blues, and theatrical rock.
Think The Divine Comedy with a more music hall bent (the band not the play), or consider if Arcade Fire turned it all down a bit.
The Anatomy Of Mister & Sunbird is conveniently divided into four parts—BONES, BLOOD, BODY and BRAIN.
This is useful because for those who don't think they have the time to listen to a whole LP, they can hear a quarter of it at a time.
There's a lot to immerse oneself in..
Chugging opener 'Seven Years Bad Luck' could be from the late Seventies glory days of Split Enz.
Bassy 'Blues For Lady Macbeth' and melancholy 1920s pastiche 'Rockin' In The Soft Parade' belong in a popular stage production, probably (another) one featuring Frank N Furter.
Ska is lined up for 'Girls Don't Like Rhyme', and the unclassifiable 'Boom' is nevertheless the recipient of a colourful violin solo.
The Black Keys might be calling after they hear 'Bomp n' Roll' yet it's more about inspiration—yet, Mister & Sunbird are so accomplished that they may well have got here on their own.
'I Gave Myself Up To The River' is another chamber pop gem as 'The Bottom Of White' is more yearning, an insinuative horn snaking its way through the melody.
If Todd Rundgren did more work on the organ and used more horns in, say 1974, that's him doing 'My Baby Must Be Blind' while 'In The Smoker's Room' could be a Steely Dan track if the vocals were less effusive.
With plaintive piano and slide guitar, 'When Your Lids Fall' could be an outtake from Pink Floyd's soundtrack to La Vallee and Spanish vibes naturally dominate 'La Guapa en Barcelona'.
The lengthy but beautiful anti-ambient instrumental 'High Tea' is worth every second, an enjoyable ride from start to end as bright guitar picks out on an organic bed of clouds.
The album features instruments variously recorded in Perth, Yallingup, Brooklyn, and a remote area of Spain.
Keen, warm production means all the innovation is translated without a loss of power.
This thrilling album is a contender for best all-round LP of 2014 in WA, with a good case for the national stage too.
Listen to Mister & Sunbird as a matter of priority.
Reigning Sound's album Shattered is full of some of the purest rock idioms.
It's the sound of The Band, if they were fronted by Van Morrison, you know, the kind of music Bruce Springsteen would've been playing if he was ten years younger.
Yet for all the tributaries, Shattered still manages to sound modern.
This is due to the timeless soulfulness of Greg Cartwright, whose singing may be inspired by-- while sounding nothing like-- Van.
They are fully formed songs which immediately sound like classics.
"North Cackalacky girl
Ain't it clever how you smile
Don't it drive a young man wild
When you call his name"
The pastoral, gentle 'Falling Rain', 'If You Gotta Leave' and 'Once More' could've been on Van's Tupelo Honey, but they're better.
While they're pretty, and blooming, they're quite a bit more involving than the songs on that blissful LP.
'Starting New' is more His Band And The Street Choir and quite superb, while 'You Did Wrong' sounds like a lost track by The Box Tops.
'My My' is an absolute ripper, included as a primer on a sample disc for Uncut, it's 'Brown Eyed Girl' for 2014.
"I said my my
We could find a spot that is shady
I'm gonna hug you, gonna kiss you
Call you my baby"
'I'm Trying (To Be The Man You Need)' is the only bona fide soul belter, somewhat odd given Cartwright's talent.
Nevertheless, Shattered remains a top record.
Led by Cartwright, Reigning Sound has been around in various forms since 2001.
They're often described as a garage punk band, and that's right only to the extent that their sound is rooted in that late 1960s flowering of bands which achieved more ears worldwide via the original Nuggets compilation.
There's more melody, though, and those rural-type touches help evoke something which is more elevated.
The current lineup is Dave Amels on organ, Mike Catanese on guitar and vocals, Mikey Post on drums and percussion, and Benjamin Trokan on bass and vocals.
Produced and recorded by Greg Cartwright, recorded at Daptone Studios, and crammed into 34 minutes, it's the kind of album that makes you want to flip it over and start again as soon as it's finished.
Lost On The River is a collection of tunes also named The New Basement Tapes, meaning they're based on lyrics written by Bob Dylan in 1966-67 which were not recorded by him and The Band.
These handwritten lyrics were supplied to album producer T. Bone Burnett by Dylan's publisher.
Until this year, The Basement Tapes double LP of 1975 was the only legitimately released set from the musical sessions which took place around and about Woodstock years earlier.
2014 has seen, of course, six discs worth of music from these times-- they collectively provide a gold standard.
Lost On The River instead has a swampy mood, and a style of production which wouldn't be out of place on the soundtrack to the awesome True Detective TV series (which Burnett worked on).
And, nicely, Lost is available in double vinyl.
The frameworks for the songs are rhythm & blues, folk, and country (couldn't imagine Dylan dub).
The playing is reverential, and occasionally smooth, certainly sweeter than the rough and ready kind of songs worked up by Dylan, and company.
Sometimes the backing singing mirrors that which is to be heard on Self Portrait and New Morning-- Burnett is tipping his hat here.
But there's no denying the quality of the playing, singing, and the songs themselves.
The list of contributors to Lost On The River includes Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Rhiannon Giddens of Carolina Chocolate Drops and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes.
Among the many highlights is the light touch vocalist Mumford allows on 'When I Get My Hand On You', a sublime song featuring just the right amount of picked strings and reverb.
Jim James brings bright colours to the curious but joyful 'Nothing To It'.
Thankfully, Costello generally keeps his mannerisms in check, except on 'Six Months In Kansas City', where everyone goes a bit over the top.
Projects like this often work on the first listen, and then pale.
This is one for the times.

This is why Africa and Africans should should show some gratitude to Tony Blair. He saved this little country from itself didnt he?
The boy was not all bad.
I am so pleased that the Sierra Leone army is back to being a reputable force again. My brother and I served with them on loan from the British Army in the early 1960's. Shortly before I was there, the Royal Sierra Leone Military Forces sent a contingent to the Congo as part of the UN operation there. So the above article is not entirely correct in referring to Sierra Leone's first international venture.
Some, but not all, of the officers were of good quality then too.
I note that the current British Adviser is Colonel Blackman: in the mid-1960's it was Brigadier Blackie. Plus ca change...
In response to chrisrob97741's post. Sirs, you are of course quite right; the RSLMF served in '60's Congo with distinction (as did the W. Africa Frontier Force in Burma, etc in WW2). The long-hand version of the original press report stated that the post-Civil War Army, the RSLAF, was deploying on its first peacekeeping venture... journalistic abbreviation! Good to know that I am not the first British Advisor whose name raises a wry smile in Sierra Leone. Hugh Blackman
Saying the Sierra Leone Army was the worst African army,brings this question to my mind, Why did it take the best Mercenary groups, the largest and best trained Army in Africa so long to bring them to the negotiating table?. I witnessed this "worst Army" over run the positions of elite forces to enter Freetown, I heard how the worst African Army kidnapped thousands of well armed peace keeping forces and marched them over three hundred miles to their own base.in Kailahun, then worst of it the children of these soldiers were able to kidnap British forces and held them at their base for some time until they were able to rescue them because of the superior air fire power of the British. The British know what the Sierra Leone Army did in the past, and I believe they can do more now.How you ever seen the bodies of the victims of NATO attacks in Afghanistan, can we call them" murders of innocent people" ?
I am in no way condoning what they did, but categorizing all of them as butchers is what prompted my response.

Ariez Onasis - You Ain't Ready ft. Pleasure P
Artist: Ariez Onasis
Featuring: Pleasure P
Producer: J. Cardim
Album: Promo Single
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 16 votes )
Ariez Onasis is many things, but he's certainly no sucker for love; less than a month after telling his ex she was Outta Time and heading for the door, the Worcester native is back on the prowl. On the other half of Ariez' dual single, the rapper sets his sights on a woman who's already taken, brushing her man off with a dismissive, "You Ain't Ready." Unlike its dual-single counterpart, YAR gets an extra dose of hit potential in the form of a superstar guest feature; the ladies will undoubtedly appreciate the sex appeal Pleasure P brings to this cut. Produced by Booth favorite J. Cardim, You Ain't Ready may well make Onasis New England's first breakthrough artist in decades. Don't judge the emcee solely on his pop tracks, though—Ariez Onasis can also be a lyrical beast, as he will demonstrate in a summer contribution to our exclusive freestyle series.

Colleen Green is back with her third album, I Want to Grow Up, which will be out February 24 on Hardly Art. She made the album in Nashville with JEFF the Brotherhood's Jake Orrall and Diarrhea Planet's Casey Weissbuch. You can hear their crunchy influence on first single, "Pay Attention," which is streamable below.
She's got a few tour dates over the next month, but nothing in NYC unfortunately. Hopefully soon. Those are listed, along with the album tracklist and song stream, below...

Arcade Fire's Will Butler announces debut solo album; other AF members talked punk roots with Damien Abraham
Perhaps you've noticed that Arcade Fire's Will Butler (brother of the band's lead singer Win Butler) has played as a solo artist a couple times recently. Well he's now announced that he'll put out his first solo album, Policy, on March 10 via AF's longtime (but now former) label Merge.
In other Arcade Fire news, members Richard Reed Parry and Jeremy Gara recently talked about their punk roots on Fucked Up singer Damian Abraham's Turned Out A Punk podcast. You can listen to that below.
Richard Reed Parry also has a new work with The National's Bryce Dessner, Black Mountain Songs, making its world premiere at BAM tonight (11/20) (performed by the Brooklyn Youth Chorus) and happening again Friday and Saturday.
Punk podcast and a recent video of Will Butler playing solo in NYC below...

Greg Saunier & Brian Chippendale release LP & documentary; three shows left at DbA (tonight's lineup clues are posted)
Saunier / Chippendale LP art
There's just three shows left at Death by Audio. Last night's "Top Secret!" headliners were Thee Oh Sees and main man John Dwyer said onstage, "We're here for two nights." He didn't say "in a row" but seeing how they play Warsaw with Jack Name on Friday (tickets) and are at M for Montreal on Saturday (snowstorms permitting), the other night in question seems to only be one option. But who knows? As for the rest of the lineup, DbA has posted up today's clues:
Well shucks! looks like i forgot to mention one of the players last night, slipped my mind! Well tonight i wont try and pull the Wool over your eyes, and jack you all around with this name game, ive been actin like a kid! Anyway i apologize for all the tomfoolery, and ill sees ya tonight!Ok, sleuths, what does it all mean?
If you're going to go to one of these last three nights, do make sure to spend some time in the Death by Art installation which has a lot of cool stuff to see. You may have seen a monitor in the hallway showing a documentary about drummers Greg Saunier and Brian Chippendale titled Checking in at 20. It was directed by Matt Conboy who runs the DbA showspace (with Edan Wilbur) and features interviews with Wayne Coyne, Tim Harrington, John Dwyer, Steven Drozd, Kid Millions, and rock journalist Michael Azerrad. You can watch the whole thing (via Pitchfork) below. Both Saunier (with Deerhoof) and Lightning Bolt's Chippendale (as Black Pus) played Death by Audio in the last few weeks.
Meanwhile, Saunier and Chippendale also have an album out via Famous Class. The self-titled LP features two side-long improvisations, and is limited to 500 copies. Order yours now.

Joyce Manor at Bowery Ballroom in September (more by Mimi Hong)
Toys That Kill at BV-CMJ 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Melodic punk new schoolers Joyce Manor and melodic punk veterans Toys That Kill (one of many bands of the great Todd Congelliere) will kick off what's sure to be an excellent double billed tour this December (unfortunately for us in NYC, it's only on the West Coast), and they'll also be putting out a split EP on 12/9 via Todd's label Recess Records in honor of that. It'll have two songs from each band, and one of each of their contributions are now streaming. Joyce Manor's, "Tame," is the revved up version of "See How Tame I Can Be" from their underrated "studio project" album Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired that they've been playing live lately. Toys That Kill's "Times We Can't Let Go" is more of their garagey goodness. Listen to both below.
Joyce Manor's other cut, "Bride," is presumably JM giving the same type of treatment to "Bride of Usher" from that same album (they've been playing that one live too), and Toys That Kill's is "I Am Decided." A Guided by Voices cover?
Streams and list of tour dates below...

Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords) playing 6 NY-area shows, including two at the Bell House next week
by Klaus Kinski
If I were to sit back and take stock in which comedians I hold in the highest regard, I would guess that about 90% of them are from overseas. Maybe it's the accents. Maybe it's the fact that their stateside appearances are rare and therefore more meaningful. Maybe it's because I am sick of the American perspective of everything. Either way, one face that'd be prominently chiseled onto my Mount Rushmore of great contemporary non-American comedians would be New Zealander Rhys Darby. Like most Yanks, Rhys fell onto my radar via his impeccable performances as Murray Hewitt on the HBO series Flight of the Conchords. I have seen him many times over the past years, and although I initially thought his brand of sound-effect-based stand-up was a little corny at first, the guy just grew and grew on me. His show Short Poppies, a mockumentary series from 2014 where he plays a new character in each episode, was a superb showcase of this man's insane comedic agilities.
So on that note I am happy to report that Rhys has SIX NY-area shows coming up including two shows at the Bell House on Friday November 28 ( tickets for early and and late). The other four shows happen at Comix at Foxwoods between November 20 - November 22. These rare US appearances are not to be missed and you'd have to be a psychopath not to want to be marked "present" at at least one of them. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and check out "Short Poppies" on Netflix.
Videos starring Darby are below...

At the Gates returned a few weeks ago with At War With Reality, the followup to their game-changing melodic death metal classic, 1995's Slaughter of the Soul. Calling it a comeback would be an understatement; it sounds more like they never left. Now they've made a video for one of its tracks "Heroes And Tombs" (dir. Costin Chioreanu) that just premiered over at Noisey. Check it out below.
As discussed, At the Gates are going on the 2015 Decibel Mag tour with Converge and the AtG-related Vallenfyre. That killer triple bill hits NYC on April 12 at Webster Hall. You can still grab tickets.

New Hampshire screamo group Youth Funeral are putting out a new EP called See You When I See You on January 27 via Twelve Gauge Records, also home of Nervous, No Sir and others. We're premiering the EP's new single "When It Pours."
"When It Pours" is a complex, heavy slab of screamo in the Orchid/Loma Prieta/Deathwish Inc/etc vein. One thing that sticks out about them is the technically proficient instrumentalism. The song moves from section to section seamlessly, starting with grind-y blasts of aggression and moving towards a subtler, more emotive coda. It manages to be technical, emotional, and tightly composed at the same time. The EP was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Will Killingsworth, whose work with Orchid, We Were Skeletons, My Fictions and others proves he knows how to make bands like this sound great in the studio. Here's looking forward to what the rest of the EP sounds like.
Stream "When It Pours" below...

Brooklyn's Grooms underwent a radical lineup change last year with singer/guitarist Travis Johnson remaining as the only original member. With new bassist Jay Heiselmann (who mixed most of their other records) and drummer Steve Levine, the new lineup of Grooms shifted directions, experimenting with synthesizers and krauty grooves. The dissonant guitars are still there, but the new rhythm section seems to have put a fire under them, creatively. The result is a radically different record, Comb the Feelings Through Your Hair, which will be out via Western Vinyl on February 17. A good first taste of the album, "Doctor M," makes its premiere in this post and you can stream it below.
Grooms don't have any live dates announced at the time, but they've practiced at Death by Audio since the days when they were known as Muggabears. Travis played a few Muggabears songs solo the night that Dirty on Purpose reunited, but it would seem strange for Grooms proper not to play DbA before it closes forever in three days.

The great John Reis (Rocket from the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, etc) has teamed up with hard-hitting garage rock trio The Blind Shake to pay tribute to classic surf rock instrumentals on a new collaborative album, Modern Surf Classics, coming out on January 27 via John's Swami Records. Get a taste of the album from the appropriately hazy and vintage-looking video for the single "Brown Room" below. Artwork and tracklist below too.
The band, dubbed Swami John Reis & The Blind Shake, will also be hitting the road in support of the album in February, playing NYC on February 25 at Saint Vitus and February 26 at Mercury Lounge. Tickets for Merc go on sale today (11/20) at noon, and a tickets for Vitus are on sale here. All dates are listed below.
John's had a busy year with a one-off Drive Like Jehu reunion, and continued reunions from Rocket From the Crypt and Hot Snakes.
The Blind Shake have a brand new album out and will be in Montreal for M for Montreal this weekend, before bringing their tour to NYC on November 25 at Cake Shop with Caddywhompus (tix at door) and November 26 at Baby's All Right with Wax Witches (tix here). They're also on board once again for SXSW.

The adventures of Isobelle Pascha, Paschaborg 001is 3A and IDW's first announced San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive
*Prototype Preview* ThreeZero – Mazinger Z
I can probably trace the entire basis for my interest in giant fighting robots back to a few years of my childhood in the mid 80's. As a kid, I lived in a small town in Texas a few hours outside Amarillo. I don't know how he did it, but somehow my dad found this eclectic little Japanese import toy shop on one of our many trips to the "big city". He knew I'd love it as I was obsessed with Transformers and Voltron, probably the two most popular robot franchises at that time to most kids my age in the states. But this little toy shop had things I'd never seen or heard of. They had VHS tapes full of this stuff called, "anime" and shelves full of these little backwards comics called "manga". Most importantly of all, it had shelf after shelf of incredibly, mind blowing giant robots. The existence of that shop hooked me onto everything from Gundam to Godakin! I was instantly obsessed. That shop became a regular weekend destination for us, so much so that the shop owner had a small list he'd keep of all the bots I told him I wanted so my dad would know what to look for if he happened to be hunting a Christmas or birthday gift for me. Life was good and my plate was steadily full of random anime, manga and die-cast giant robots for a solid year. We eventually left the Texas pan-handle and moved away to the Eastcoast.
Despite not having access to a similar, amazing Japanese toy import shop anywhere near our new neighborhood, I maintained a fascination with Japanese robots, watching cartoons and movies that featured them as much as possible. Voltron, Transformers, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Gundam, Giant Robot and the 'bot known here in the states as Tranzor Z.. the mighty, Mazinger Z.
I'll admit, it's been FOREVER since I've watched or read anything about Mazinger Z. But the instant I saw him teased by ThreeZero so many of those memories came rushing back. I knew I'd have to have him in my collection.
I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to preview him while he's still up for preorder at ThreeZero's shop. I find it a little ironic that the same toy company who is largely responsible for reawakening the toy nostalgia within me a few years back is the same one responsible for bringing such an iconic super robot from my childhood back to life.

Review: Hot Toy's 1966 Classic Batman
Nanna nanna nanna nanna.. BATMAN!
That little dity has been running through my head ever since I got in my Hot Toy's 1966 Classic Batman. He's infectious. I can hear and see the "BLAM!", "KA-POW!" and "BOOSH!" onomatopoeia's popping up in front of my eyes whenever I glance over at him sitting on my shelf.
The review today is actually a pretty big deal to me as it marks my personal first experience with owning a Hot Toys collectible! I'm not sure why the Hot Toys bug has never bitten me before. They do some incredible looking stuff and I've always looked admirably at their offerings on Sideshow Collectibles. Perusing through, I always find myself thinking, "That could be really cool to have.", but then the $200 price tag would flip the safety back on my purchasing trigger finger and I'd close out the tab. It's not that I've never paid $200+ for a toy before, it's that the Movie Masterpiece subject matter doesn't generally appeal enough to me to where I felt compelled to.
Well, all that changed at last years San Diego Comic Con when I saw the prototype Batman, Robin and (jaw-droppingly amazing) Batmobile on display at Sideshow Collectible's booth. I grew up up on Classic Batman and I believe I have a weird obsession with Adam West that's encouraged even today by his voiced character on Family Guy, Mayor West. There's something so fun and appealing to the 1966 version of the character that I knew I had to have him.
Robin is apparently shipping out right now as well, but I never really got into Robin. Even at the young age when I used to watch the show I thought it was really weird for him to run around in green underwear. Coincidentally, Batman wearing his underwear outside of his cloths seemed completely normal. Hey, I was a kid. Continue reading
*Review* 3A SGR JC
Check out that flow of acronyms in the title! A little like trying to decipher a foreign language, init? Since we toy collectors tend to speak in our own language anyway, I didn't think anyone would be too put off by it. Today, I'll be using that acronym, not only to speed along writing out a character's long-ish name over and over again, but also because the given name of our featured toy has a filthy, naughty, dirty word right smack in the middle of it. We don't normally print copious amounts of cuss-based brusqueness over here at RtR.. despite the fact that we review a LOT of toys from 3A/Ashley Wood. Even though we tend to cater to an older audience and don't take issue with the words themselves, we do our best to keep things pretty kid friendly. It's been surprisingly easy to do up until now. For those of you who are familiar with today's figure, there's no mystery here. The acronym works because you already know his name. But for those of you who have no idea about this guy, it doesn't. So in the name of journalistic clarity, we decided for at least a moment, we wouldn't worry about censors and flood the next paragraph with a few, well-placed swear words.
Alright children, you've been warned. The next couple sentences hold snippets of the kind of language your Fox News marathoning Grandpa yells at the TV every time a Democrat gets elected into office. Continue reading

Transgender activists praise Independent on Sunday for Pink List selection
Oscar Quine
Oscar Quine is a writer, reporter and editorial assistant across The Independent titles
Sunday 13 October 2013
Leading figures in the transgender community have praised the The Independent on Sunday for naming a transgender person at No 1 on its Pink List of Britain's 101 most influential LBGT people.
The list was topped by Paris Lees, the journalist, broadcaster, campaigner and editor of Meta magazine, for her work in "leading a slow but determined change in attitudes" towards the transgender community.
Janet Scott, a spokesperson for the Beaumont Society, the UK's largest and longest established transgender support group, welcomed the decision, saying Lees was a "wonderful ambassador, who sends out the right message about transgender people".
Bernard Reed, a trustee of the Gender Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES) who was awarded an OBE in 2010 for his work in the field, said he was "delighted". "It is really heartening that a trans person has been recognised in this way. So many campaign actively and at great personal risk for the benefit of the trans community."
Our sister paper's 2013 Pink List featured a host of transgender people, including the Miss England entrant Jackie Green, the Lib Dem Cambridge councillor Sarah Brown, Roz Kaveney, the poet, and the Big Brother contestant Luke Anderson.

Pinot Noir
By Wine Out Loud on January 24, 2012
It's been a while, but my sommelier group got together this past Sunday afternoon. I missed them. I need them to keep my so-called palate in check. It's easy to get rusty without someone to bounce your tasting notes off just to be sure that yes, that wine did actually taste like dirty socks. On Sunday we did a tasting of Pinot Noir and I brought a bottle of Ontario Pinot Noir: Flat Rock Cellars' 2010.
It's hard to find a Pinot Noir that is under $20. The grape is an early ripener, so it grows well in cooler climates, that means vintage matters and it also means that depending on the weather in a given year, there might not be enough fruit to go around. It's also considered a very difficult grape to grow. Thin-skinned, sensitive to frost and wind, yet it also doesn't like heat and arid climates; prone to attract fungus and mildew, it can be a fine balance for a winemaker to get healthy fruit with just the right amounts of sugar and acid. Hence it can come in a myriad of styles. It's also one of the oldest cultivated vines - almost 2,000 years - this means it has a very diverse genetic background. It mutates often making it difficult to nail down in the vineyard. All of this affects the price of the wine.
This bottle is $19.95 and a very good deal as it's quite nice in the glass: earthy, pale and light, with lots of vibrant red cherry, mineral, and something minty. The aromas give way to a richer sensation of liquorice and darker berries. There's an acidic bite to it, but so nicely balanced with lots of fruit and very little tannin that it ends in a long, almost smooth finish. Lovely. The real pleasure of this wine is the balance it strikes between delicate and plush.
We also tried Josef Chromy 2009 Pinot Noir, Kim Crawford 2010, and Wine by Joe 2008. We liked them all with the Kim Crawford coming in as the fullest wine at 14% alcohol. The Ontario pick was my favourite.

I'm confused when recipes call for 1 part of an ingredient like oil and 2 parts of another ingredient like sugar. Does one part mean 1 ounce? —R.C., Miami, Florida
Parts refer to the measurement…it could be cups, tablespoons, ounces or any other type of measurement you choose.
Let's say a salad dressing recipe calls for 2 parts oil and 1 part vinegar. The ratio of those two ingredients is 2 to 1. That means that the amount of oil will be double the amount of vinegar. So if you want enough salad dressing to feed your family, you might choose to make 1-1/2 cups, or 1 cup of oil to 1/2 cup vinegar. If you would like a small amount of dressing, say 3 ounces, you would use 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Both examples have the same ratio of 2 to 1.

...When we came to be looking to book to go to Disneyland Paris we obviously had to spend a bit of time thinking about the accomodation that we wanted to stay in. Most of the people I knew had stayed in the Hotel Cheyenne which was one of the cheaper hotels on the resort but we decided that we wanted to stay closer to the Disney village and parks and so we decided to stay in the Hotel New York...

Review of Bentley Hotel, New York City
Hilton Hotel - York
Advantages: Excellent location
Disadvantages: Weird car-park
...and we were seen to our room quickly.
The hotel is ideally located in the centre of York. It is right near the York Dungeons, only 10minutes walk from York Minster. We visited most of the main areas of interest on York and everywhere was close to the hotel. Because we came at Christmas we were also right near a temporary ice rink, which was situated only a few minutes from the hotel...

Foals flitted out of Oxford, England, in 2008 with "Cassius," a moment of tightly choreographed spasticity that invited comparisons to Bloc Party and Vampire Weekend, with which Foals shares an ivory-tower image with foppish, often yipping vocals, awkward-cool demeanor and a penchant for hyped-up Afrobeats. The quintet, signed to Sub Pop in the United States, returned in 2010 with its second album, Total Life Forever. Foals hasn't mellowed, but its sound has deepened into atmospheric electro-funk. On songs like "Blue Blood," Yannis Philippakis trades his earlier bark for the unhinged heft of Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchinson. "Miami" is a lover's plea with a sticky groove, and ubiquitous single "Spanish Sahara" is a thing of such rising beauty you'll forget you've stopped dancing, at least for a minute.
