In a Sept. 5, 2010 email to Ben Nuckels, then Quinn's campaign manager, Lavin outlines strategies to appeal to African-American voters by employing President Barack Obama and several black congressmen from Chicago and producing an ad with a "typical African American family, particularly women" that could show "why [Republican Bill] Brady would be a disaster."
"The African American community tends to break late so we have some time," Lavin wrote. "The Gov's Neighborhood Recovery Initiative will also help on the jobs and anti-violence messages. If we agree that this election is …

A deal involving the federal government's most expensive lease in Chicago produced millions of dollars in profits for a development group that included Penny Pritzker, a top campaign fund-raiser for President Barack Obama who is now his commerce secretary.
The developers also included Jack Higgins, a friend and political backer of former Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Over the 14-year term of the lease, the government will pay $280 million in rent and operating expenses for the Near West Side property, which houses the FBI's Chicago headquarters.
That's more than double what it cost …

Turns out Rep. Mike Quigley D-Ill. has a GOP opponent, Chicago business executive and major GOP donor Vince Kolber, who kicked off his campaign on Wednesday, jumping in after he noticed no Republican bothered to file in the heavily Democratic 5th congressional district contest.
Local Republican leaders were able to fill the vacant ballot spot this summer for the 5th Congressional District seat. The district is anchored in North Side Chicago Democratic territory with some GOP turf in the DuPage County portion of the district.

The race to defeat one of the most powerful Democrats in the nation is narrowing — with incumbent U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin just seven percentage points ahead of Republican challenger Jim Oberweis, according to a new Early & Often Poll.
In a year that's expected to tilt toward Republicans across the nation, Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the U.S. Senate, is leading Oberweis, who is making his third run for the Senate, 47.8 percent to 40.5 percent, the survey commissioned by the Sun-Times' political portal shows.

When conventions and trade shows threaten to leave McCormick Place or Rosemont for Orlando, Las Vegas or elsewhere, officials at the lakefront and suburban convention centers have a carrot to offer to keep those shows here:
A pot of taxpayer money they guard so tightly they've tried to keep secret how it's spent, the Chicago Sun-Times has found.
Over the past three years, $26.5 million from Illinois taxpayers has been spent to lure the International Housewares Association's trade show, the Radiological Society of North America convention and 79 other shows to McCormick …

Republicans scouring the November ballot for GOP candidates for Cook County's top elected offices will be out of luck.
The deadline for mounting opposition against entrenched Democrats holding countywide office has passed for the Cook County Republican Party.
The final day for party officials to submit candidate petitions was Monday, according to the Cook County Clerk's office.
Though no Republican stepped forward to run for the top countywide offices during the March primary, the party still had the opportunity to put its preferred candidates on the ballot if Republicans gathered at least 2,710 …

A businessman with ties to former State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday for engaging in a check-kiting scheme in order to keep his family's struggling Boston Blackies restaurant chain operating.
Chris Giannis, 41, hugged a half-dozen weeping relatives before he was led away by Cook County sheriff's deputies.
"This is a sad end to the story," Giannis' attorney, Terry Gillespie, said outside of Judge James Linn's courtroom after his client was sentenced for theft.
At the time, Giannoulias pledged to give to charity all …

George Will: Are Clinton and Christie the best we have?
Americans want Presidents to understand and connect with ordinary people, but not to be ordinary. Because Presidents are incessantly on view in Americans' living rooms, decorum is preferable to drama. Americans want presidential toughness, which Christie has demonstrated admirably in confrontations with government employees' unions. But because he has demonstrated it abundantly, he does not need to advertise it gratuitously.
George Will is a columnist for Newsweek in Washington, D.C., and a commentator for ABC News.

nice location and reasonable price.
Very nice hotel very clean
Mature Hotel with good facilities. Pleasant Staff. Excellent Food - Evening meal was one of the best I have ever tasted. Allocated a large, clean room with lovely views across the square. Excellent comfortable beds. Very enjoyable stay. The key question. " Would I be happy to return ?" Definitely !
One thing to bear in mind. There is no allocated parking here, except for roadside parking spaces, which are in high demand. This can make disembarkation from a car, difficult when trying to unload luggage. Especially during peak hours. For able bodied people, this is a slight inconvenience. But to an elderly or less mobile person it can be a challenge. There are several municipal car parks within a few hundred metres. These appear to be reasonable value for money. But don't automatically count on leaving your car within the immediate vicinity of the hotel It is important to understand this before making a reservation.
Nice large room and the beds were very good
Some of the hotel staff could not speak english
Nice hotel with good central location spoilt by mainly by staff with few people skills
Some staff were indifferent to the point of rudeness especially the femail receptionist and the restaurant manageress who could barely be civil. Breakfast was not plentiful.
Good Location! Friendly Service! Good facilities!
Nothing specific!
Location is superb. I had a view of the Grote markt, the central square in Kortrijk. Shops and bars nearby. Simple, small,clean room with a nice bed and fine shower. For me the basics.
nice city hotel, staff attentive and helpful.
No tea or coffee facilities in the room.
My room 17 was spacious for a 3 star hotel, good shower and facilities. Fast wifi! Very helpful stuff on the reception desk. I had to leave earlier than breakfast was served, but they kindly served it 30 minutes earlier esp for me.
Not big variety on breakfast.

Bordeaux Bungalow is the newest addition to the Downtown Dreams B&B complex and is located directly across the street from sister properties Chateau Merlot and Chardonnay Hideaway. Guests can rent just Bordeaux Bungalow or take all three charming cottages if they need to house up to eight guests in style.
All three of the Downtown Dreams properties have two main things in common....fabulous location and beautiful decor. Bordeaux Bungalow is no different! Located just a block off of Main Street, in the heart of Fredericksburg's famed shopping district, the charming bungalow is only a few steps from restaurants, shops, museums, wine tasting rooms, and art galleries. Everything that makes Fredericksburg special is just outside your door.
Inside your door you will find all the charm and beauty you expect of a Downtown Dreams property. You are sure to appreciate the spacious den, hardwood floors and beautiful, large old windows. A specially imported leather sectional is the perfect place to watch a movie or catch the big game on the 42" flat screen television (with cable). Adjacent is a large dining room with original built-in cabinetry. The bungalow offers two private bedrooms, each with a beautiful king size bed and lovely linens. You will also appreciate the privacy and convenience of two bathrooms with stand-alone showers.
If elegant, spacious accommodations just a stone's throw from Main Street shops top your list of where to stay in Fredericksburg, then Downtown Dreams Bordeaux Bungalow is the perfect place for you!

We hope you are making plans to be our guest at Absolute Charm Luxury Bed & Breakfasts where our aim is to give you that perfect Texas Hill Country getaway you are seeking. Whether you are interested in spending the weekend with us or taking a longer vacation, we know the charm of Fredericksburg, Texas will captivate you. Please acquaint yourself with our Policies below. We look forward to having you as our guest!
Check in is at 709 West Main Street, which is a beautiful historic rock building right on Main Street on the west end of town. The sign in the yard says both "Tea Rose Quilts and Gifts" and "Bed and Breakfast Reservations". Look for the five king sized quilts prominently displayed in the yard; you can't miss us! Just park in front and come on in!
If arriving after 6:00 p.m. (or 5:00 p.m. on Sunday), you will find a box on the front porch containing an envelope with your name, map, receipt and keys to your suite/cottage. We look forward to seeing you soon!
For your protection and ours, we ask that ALL cancellations be made in writing. Simply respond to this confirmation and request your reservation to be cancelled. Your cancellation request will be handled in one of the two following ways:
We will email you a Cancellation Notice for your records once your request has been processed.
Pampering Packages or Massages must be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance or you will be charged the full amount. Please help us respect our vendors by giving ample notice should you need to cancel.
We are often asked if we offer discounts for groups who book all of one property. We do not offer such discounts, and in fact, we are sad to say we have had a lot of problems with groups in the past. More times than not, when groups have rented the entire Inn on the Creek, Queen Anne, etc., guests have actually taken food from our chef's refrigerator that was intended for the next morning's breakfast and have said, "Sorry, we raided the fridge last night; but we wanted a snack!" or "We looked around and found your candy stash and ate it all!" Groups almost always drink heavily and leave liquor bottles all over the property leaving our housekeeping team with double or triple the normal housekeeping load. It may seem that renting the entire building is "doing us a favor," but we almost never have a vacancy on a weekend and would have rented each room regardless. Accordingly, we expect groups to behave as individual guests do. We welcome respectful groups but are not looking to book these fine propeties to partiers. Please feel free to enjoy the full use of the facilities, enjoy the hot tubs, play cards in the common areas, etc. However, we ask that you treat these historic properties, not to mention our wonderful chefs, with the respect they deserve. If items are taken from the refrigerator, furniture moved throughout the property, excessive trash left around the premises, etc. a minimum charge of $50.00 per room will be charged to each member of the group's credit card. If items are broken or otherwise destroyed, the charge will be more than $50.00.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Money Orders, Cash and Absolute Charm Gift Certificates purchased from Absolute Charm. You will be required to hold your reservations with a credit card deposit. Your credit card will be charged upon check-in. If you are arriving after 5:00 p.m. (4:00 on Sundays) your card will be charged the balance and your receipt placed in your envelope with your map and key.
Your payment and personal informatino is always safe. Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the internet.
The State of Texas and City of Fredericksburg impose 13% lodging tax on every stay. In addition, Absolute Charm charges and retains a 3% fee in exchange for the services we provide in facilitating your transaction. There is no additional fee for booking your reservation by phone versus booking online.
Will be provided at each property in accordance with what is listed on that property's page. Please check the property's page for information on the breakfast you will receive.
Moving from room to room for purposes of determining the length of your stay. For example, if you stay one night in one room and then move to another room that does not qualify as a two-night stay for purposes of receiving a weekday discount. As you can imagine, housekeeping costs skyrocket when rooms have to be completely cleaned from scratch daily. If you would like to move rooms during the week, you may do so but will NOT receive the weekday special price. If you choose to move rooms on a weekend due to your preference, you may only do so with a $35.00 per move fee to cover additional housekeeping costs.
If you want a one night stay
please call 866.244.7897
Please remember check in takes place at the Absolute Charm office located at 709 W. Main St, Fredericksburg, Texas 78624.
You will be given a map and keys to this property along with breakfast certificates (if applicable).

The artist's lucid, achingly gorgeous vocals and a string of celebrated albums-many featuring her acclaimed Hot Band-have earned Harris eleven Grammys and made this alt-country/roots-rock innovator a legend in her own time. Warner. 2005. Amazon.comLess than two years after the death of her mentor, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris recorded her first album for Reprise. Pieces of the Sky inaugurated a suite of four mid-'70s albums and a surprising number of hits: her sound was clearly traditional, but also tastefully up-to-date with folk-rock and singer/songwriter styles, and her crystalline, febrile vocals took standards such as "Love Hurts" and "If I Could Only Win Your Love" back up the charts. This compilation brings together her biggest hits, and shows why Harris is important and why she continues to make adventurous country music. Through unfailingly tasteful song selection, brilliant occasional songwriting, and her cool, velvety soprano, Harris extended Gram Parsons's vision of "cosmic American music" and made it her own. --Roy Kasten CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

21-year-old Justine Safarik pled guilty to the Class I Misdemeanors of 3rd degree assault and first offense resisting arrest. She had originally been charged with a Class III Felony but that was reduced when she accepted the plea agreement.
The Cassgram reports Chief Deputy Cass County Attorney Colin Palm said Safarik took an aggressive stance toward a sheriff's deputy and did not follow orders after law enforcement went to a house on Verdon Circle at Beaver Lake after a 911 call last April. She continued to be unruly and kicked an officer while being booked at Cass County Jail, said Palm.
There is no agreement on sentencing. Sentencing is October 27th.

This is my go to mascara, I've been using since it came out. It does clump after awhile so I just work the outside lashes going inward because as soon as it dries it tends to clump up if you applied a lot. It does last me for the day sometimes it lasts till the next morning when I'm lazy to wash my face the night before. It does give a little length not too much though, and don't get the water proof unless you want to trim your lashes its hard to get off even with MU remover. I use to use Rimmel brand mascara a but I grew out of it due to it costing more but I will continue buying and recommending these until I find another one I love.
Just ok. No eye irritation and decent lengthening, which is good. In terms of volume, it gave me some minor clumps more than actual volume. I also wound up with smudging after a day at work. Overall, I think there are much better mascaras out there, even at the drugstore level.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I would buy this again if I HAD to..
Does clump and flakes a little (the little lengthening tubes fall off everywhere). Also leaves a spidery lash look.
Great for a night out if you want mega length and volume. But I think the flaking would annoy me for every day use.
Ok so I really hate maybelline mascaras but there are a few good ones. Usually maybelline mascaras are too wet paired with the brush... This mascara is ok. Compared to others this isn't something I would buy. The formula isn't to extremly wet but it weighs down my lashes so curl is no where to be seen with this. Other then the non-exsistant curl this product is good for length and volumne.
Usually the maybelline mascaras at the beginning suck and after a week or two of use the have a less wet feel and apply like a dream. With this mascara happens the exact opposite. in the beginning it's amazing, gives awesome volume and length, separation etc but after a few weeks of use it doesn't work that well especially for volume. The good thing is that it's cheap but I think I prefer the plain original colossal over this. I'll probably won't repurchase this one
I had the waterproof formula. This product made my tiny Asian lashes visible and did not hold my curls well. My lashes drooped a bit. There wasn't much flaking or smudging. It has a weird scent. I did not have any clumps. The thing is that this mascara takes time to remove so don't be too harsh to your eyes. Other than a few cons this was a pretty good product. :)
This is my most often used mascara. I love it when it dries up a bit after a week and I barely have to comb my lashes to get rid of clumps. It does however flake if you need to comb it and it gets pretty annoying to have flakes go into your eyes. I'm Asian and have stick straight lashes, I just curl them and apply this (waterproof version) and my lashes are curled all day. I can't really lie down on my face or anything but it works just for normal days. The volume isn't that great but it does lengthen a bit. Overall it's pretty great but I haven't tried that many mascaras.
I admit I was into the gimmick of "falsies" because I wear fake eyelashes occasionally, but for some reason it didn't give me the same effect as false eyelashes (which is understandable) it felt as if it's just another ordinary brand of mascara. Great price for the product though.
LOVE thIS MASCARA! Kind of clumpy sometimes though
I am a mascara hoarder. The moment I ran out of the "Cat Eyes" mascara, I immediately went to my drawer to try out "Falsies." The packaging is similar to most all drugstore mascaras, but the purple stood out to me. The unique spoon-shaped brush reminded me of the old fashioned trick my grandma used to curl her lashes with her spoons; therefore, I thought that feature was very interesting. Falsies was truly a hassle to take off, I would have to use more than one cotton pad. I am not one to waste a product, so I tried different techniques daily. I found that only putting on one coat was sufficient. Two coats of this mascara will lead to clumping and massive flakes! Ahh!
All in all, the mascara was errr....average. The only reason I wouldn't repurchase is because of the tedious removal process. I understand water proof mascaras being hard to take off, but theres no excuse for one coat of normal mascara.

When it comes to technology, all devices slow down over time. As things like RAM and storage get used, the OS has a harder time trudging through all the data compared to when the device was brand spankin' new out of the box. While Android does a great job of making the most of the hardware it's given, sometimes a little help is needed to give it that extra push. That could mean something simple like cleaning out cached files to open up more storage, deleting old text and picture messages, or just getting rid of applications that haven't been used recently.
Microsoft's employees have a lot of free time on their hands, what with taking forever between each update to their Windows Phone platform and other priority stalling operations. They like to use this free time in the Garage, developing apps for Android, just 'cause y'know, it's fun to imagine yourself working on cool projects for once. After Bing Torque, this Journeys & Notes app seems like a mash-up of some features from Foursquare, Field Trip, and The Traveler.
"OK Google, what is Microsoft Garage?" Well, Rita, it's an idea incubator for Microsoft employees who like to dabble with things non-Microsofty in their spare time, like Android for example. They have a crush on us, but they still can't completely deny their allegiance to the quad colors of Redmond so they indulge by mixing in some Bing bangy bongiddy features. "Ah, thanks Google. Can you give me an example?" Sure Rita, that Bing Torque app they just released, though if you ask me, they need a copy editor for their Play Store listing: "It is like to have Microsoft's Cortana running on your smart watch." That was a direct quote and it is like to read a torturous story for me.
Reaching "Inbox zero" is not an easy task. Especially when there are those emails that might require future action, or those that hang in a nebulous state of still being useful despite the conversation having ended. It's also not very easy to parse out exactly what you need to get done after poring over a page of emails. To address both of these issues (and a few others), Google has been working on a project called Bigtop.
Google has promised standalone music playback over Bluetooth as part of Android Wear for some time, and it appears with Wear version 4.4W2 we're finally getting it, at least if you use Play Music (you're also getting new playback controls). If you're using the latest Play Music APK on your Android phone and have the Android 4.4W2 update on your smartwatch, you can now download your pinned music from your smartphone to your watch.
We spotted it in a teardown of the new material Play Music app this morning, but it looks like a new set of media controls in Android Wear are live - and here's exactly what they look like.
The new controls get a red-themed makeover and volume +/- buttons, plus a nifty kind of physical remote key animation. It's nice. For Play Music, these new controls require two things: the material version of Play Music (which contains an updated mini APK for Wear with these controls) and the 4.4W2 update to Wear, which is rolling out to some devices now, like the LG G Watch.
Google has slowly been adding replacement charging docks for the Android Wear devices to the Play Store. That's important in the case of watches like the Gear Live, which uses a special clip to charge the watch. It's less of an issue for the Qi-equipped Moto 360, but the official stand is in stock now anyway.
The listing for the dock appeared recently, but it wasn't available for purchase. That's changed now, and you can order it for $39.99.
Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.

Not done in Mario Paint
A talented artist called Bry Sharland (aka neojedi17) has created the painting below as a tribute to Nintendo Power, which releases its final issue this December.
There's also a sad letter to go alongside it, talking about personal struggles and paying homage to the magazine's long history.
To The Honorable Staff of Nintendo Power,
I write this letter to you with a deep melancholy. I refused to believe the rumors that you were closing down. Then, cold confirmation that you wouldn't be there for me after December. Anger took me, and tears fell whenever I remembered a crucial fact. The fact that you and your magazine have meant so much to me throughout my whole life. I was four when the first issue came out, and I had just played Zelda II for the first time. Though I could barely read, the bright pictures and maps in your magazine helped me make it through the mazes of Death Mountain and the mysteries of the secret town of Kasuto. I wanted to reach out; to help. Hold a subscription drive, write letters to NCL, get the help of Operation Rainfall and Starmen.net. I wanted to do something for you after all you've done for me.
The most exciting piece of mail I've received every month, to this day, has always been Nintendo Power. It brings me so much joy to see what's on the cover and what's getting reviewed. I should say it brings me that joy twice a month, as I'm always excited for taking the power polls, too. My friends and I still pull out old issues for help with retro games (of which I am a huge collector), like when we played through Young Merlin for laughs on my beloved Super Nintendo. I'm only missing a few issues in the entire run of the magazine.
In all the tough parts of my life, Nintendo, and Nintendo Power, were always there for me. When I didn't think I could make it in 6th grade, and thought about ending it all, NP saved me with news of Super Mario 64 and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. When my Dad said he was getting remarried and my life fell into despair, NP was there with previews of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and hope for the future. And as an adult, after wanting to give up after getting laid off multiple times as an art teacher, NP made me feel like a kid again with news of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Though sure, I check Nintendo blogs obsessively, you hold a special place in my heart. I don't want endless bright screens of every little piece of news when I can have a beautiful printed magazine to pore over. Even when news and screenshots from Nintendo Power are posted online, I always to refuse to read those articles until I've received my issue and can read it myself, straight from the source. Honestly, I'm terribly depressed about a world without you. I proudly wear my Nintendo Power Player shirt (a replica, as my original fell apart from years of wear and tear).
I'm including a painting I started working on in August as soon as I found out the news about the magazine ending. I poured my heart and soul into it. It's the expression of all the feelings I've had, tempered with the sadness of losing you this December. It was really hard getting it done on time, as I work two jobs and often don't have the time or energy after work. I pray that you will print it, and this letter, in one of your final issues. None of my letters as a kid made it into the magazine, but you were always kind enough to write back to me either way. Thank you for that. Thank you for everything.
Much love,
Bry Sharland

What a stunning Bride! Emily wore an antique dress and looks amazing in it!
Tag Archives: Vintage
Beachy Bride
I was just browsing through some old files of mine for some research I'm doing (watch this space!) and I rediscovered this fabulous wedding! This was one of my most favourite finds when I was planning our own wedding so I must share.
It's beachy, it's diy, it's relaxed, it's vintagey, its fun – I fell in love with the parasols, the flowers, the cake, the cake topper and the cheeky couple.
The Bride's Knot Site also had some great diy tips and step by step instructions on how they did stuff – definitely worth checking out
Simply Bloom
Tracey and Vandiver's wedding is gorgeous – not least because of the stunning antiquey styled photography of Simply Bloom. Isn't it stunning? I only wish I had more photographs of this amazing looking day to share but you'll have to make do with these for now.
The Most Amazing Table EVER
Yes, its another vintage inspired wedding but omg seriously you will forgive me when you check out these stunning photographs!
Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming! collaborated with Elizabeth, the Bride to design the stunning table in the gorgeous outdoor space. They used thirty chandeliers, both new and antique, which illuminated the villa-style terrace.
They also used a custom-made 40-foot velvet runner, linen-backed menus and platinum banded chargers to decorate the long table. The linen chair cushions were trimmed with delicate blue velvet piping, matching the simple yet stunning fondant decorated cake. The whole look is so decedent yet so eclectic…that's why I love it so. I wish my house was decorated just like this table!
Vintage & Diy Fabulousness
There are so many vintage/diy weddings out there but that doesn't stop them being fabulous and totally post-worthy!
Yuli and Keith got married at New York's Beaver-Del Hotel & Campground on the Delaware River, recently purchased by some friends of theirs – what a perfect location!
Personal Touches
Jen and Patrick didn't want a traditional ceremony, or a traditional wedding for that matter, instead, they chose to gather their friends and family in the courtyard of the Marvimon House, LA and conduct an impromptu and totally unscripted ceremony. Their two father's officiated – how perfect is that?!
This wedding wasn't about fancy decor or an expensive cake; it was what weddings should be, about two people sharing their love in a way that was quintesstially them.
The Bride wore a fabulous vintage dress and amazing Prada heels and the Groom looked super dapper in his bowtie/suit combo!

#OpenStack #CloudStack #OpenFlow #SDN It's a showdown of model versus control – or is it?
There's a lot of noise about "wars" in the networking world these days. OpenStack versus CloudStack versus OpenFlow-based SDN.
But while there are definitely aspects of "stacks" that share similarities with "flows", they are not the same model and ultimately they aren't even necessarily attempting to solve the same problems.
Understanding the two models and what they're intended to do can go a long way toward resolving any perceived conflicts.
The Stack Model
Stack models, such as CloudStack and OpenStack, are more accurately placed in the category of "cloud management frameworks" because they are designed with provisioning and management of the infrastructure services that comprise a cloud computing (or highly dynamic) environment.
Stacks are aptly named as they attempt to provide management and specifically automation of provisioning for the complete network stack. Both CloudStack and OpenStack, along with Eucalyptus and Amazon and VMware vCloud, provide a framework API that can (ostensibly) be used to provision infrastructure services irrespective of vendor implementation. The vision is (or should be) to enable implementers (whether service provider or enterprise) to be able to switch out architectural elements (routers, switches, hypervisors, load balancers, etc… ) transparently*. That is, moving from Dell to HP to Cisco (or vice-versa) as an environment's switching fabric should not be disruptive. Physical changes should be able to occur without impacting the provisioning and management of the actual services provided by the infrastructure.
And yes, such a strategy should also allow heterogeneity of infrastructure.
In many ways, such "stacks" are the virtualization of the data center, enabling abstraction of the actual implementation from the configuration and automation of the hardware (or software) elements. This, more than anything, is what enables a comparison with flow-based models.
The Flow Model
Flow-based models, in particular OpenFlow-based SDN, also abstracts implementation from configuration by decoupling the control plane from the data plane. This allows any OpenFlow-enabled device (mostly switches today, as SDN and OpenFlow focus on network layers) to be configured and managed via a centralized controller using a common API.
Flows are "installed" or "inserted" into OpenFlow-enabled elements via OpenFlow, an open protocol designed for this purpose, and support real-time updates that enable on-demand optimization or fault isolation of flows through the network. OpenFlow and SDN are focused on managing the flow of traffic through a network.
Flow-based models purport to offer the same benefits as a stack model in terms of heterogeneity and interoperability. Moving from one OpenFlow-enabled switch to another (or mixing and matching) should ostensibly have no impact on the network whatsoever.
What flow-based models offer above and beyond a stack model is extensibility. OpenFlow-based SDN models using a centralized controller also carry with it the premise of being able to programmatically add new services to the network without vendor assistance. "Applications" deployed on an SDN controller platform (for lack of a better term) can extend existing services or add new ones and there is no need to change anything in the network fabric, because ultimately every "application" distills flows into a simple forwarding decision that can then be applied like a pattern to future flows by the switches.
The Differences
This is markedly different from the focus of a stack, which is on provisioning and management, even though both may be occurring in real-time. While it's certainly the case that through the CloudStack API you can create or delete port forwarding rules on a firewall, these actions are pushed (initiated) external to the firewall. It is not the case that the firewall receives a packet and asks the cloud framework for the appropriate action, which is the model in play for a switch in an OpenFlow-based SDN.
Another (relatively unmentioned but important) distinction is who bears responsibility for integration. A stack-based model puts the onus on the stack to integrate (via what are usually called "plug-ins" or "drivers") with the component's existing API (assuming one exists). A flow-based model requires the vendor to take responsibility for enabling OpenFlow support natively. Obviously the ecosystem of available resources to perform integration is a magnitude higher with a stack model than with a flow model. While vendors are involved in development of drivers/plug-ins for stacks now, the impact on the product itself is minimal, if any at all, because the integration occurs external to the component. Enabling native OpenFlow support on components requires a lot more internal resources be directed at such a project.
Do these differences make for an either-or choice?
Actually, they don't. The models are not mutually exclusive and, in fact, might be used in conjunction with one another quite well. A stack based approach to provisioning and management might well be complemented by an OpenFlow SDN in which flows through the network can be updated in real time or, as is often proffered as a possibility, the deployment of new protocols or services within the network.
The War that Isn't
While there certainly may be a war raging amongst the various stack models, it doesn't appear that a war between OpenFlow and *-Stack is something that's real or ever will be The two foci are very different, and realistically the two could easily be deployed in the same network and solve multiple problems. Network resources may be provisioned and initially configured via a stack but updated in real-time or extended by an SDN controller, assuming such network resources were OpenFlow-enabled in the first place.
* That's the vision (and the way it should be) at least. Reality thus far is that the OpenStack API doesn't support most network elements above L3 yet, and CloudStack is tightly coupling API calls to components, rendering this alleged benefit well, not a benefit at all, at least at L4 and above.
