Reviewer: He Zhu
Interconnections was written by Radia Perlman, a leading networking expert. She wrote this book intending to help people understand networking problems and provide a reference to relevant issues. She didn't simply present a collection of texts condensed from the literature and specs; instead, by keeping an open mind, she documented many techniques, both good and bad, in a carefully arranged manner with an expert's insight. It is one of the best books available on networking today.
People surf the Internet, from which they find an explosion of sources of human wisdom and civilization. Behind the scenes of the Internet are specialized boxes and protocols. These boxes are called bridges, routers, switches and hubs, and are connected via various communication channels, through which they talk with each other in predefined languages known as protocols. Writing a book to describe this area comprehensively is a daunting task. We haven't yet seen many good books in the field. Interconnections is excellent in its coverage of issues in both layer 2, that is, the data-link layer on which bridges are operating; and layer 3, the network layer on which routers are operating. It presents a broad view of the techniques to connect computers together. The book gives an excellent introduction to all these issues.
The first edition of this book, published in 1992, has been a best-seller and acclaimed as a classic on the topic. Since then, tremendous progress has been made in internetworking technology. Traditional companies are feeling pressure from new start-ups in the networking arena. More people are eager to learn about networking. It is great to see a new edition of Interconnections published at this time. The second edition is not simply an update, but a competent rewrite of most chapters, with a few exceptional chapters remaining largely unchanged. This new edition places more emphasis on networking designs and covers issues not found in the first edition, such as hubs, fast packet forwarding, autoconfiguration, multicasting and protocol design folklore.
This book is comprehensive for general networking concepts and techniques, including obsolete techniques in legacy systems such as X.25 and up-to-date advances such as multicast routing. The author intentionally puts various networking techniques (both good and bad) in one place to help people understand not only why we do something in this way but also why not in that way, in hopes that future networking designers can learn from these lessons and avoid the same mistakes. Given a problem, the author doesn't simply list a well-accepted solution, but often provides several alternatives. This helps reveal the differences, advantages and weaknesses of various solutions. For example, in Chapter 9 the author summarizes almost all well-known network layer address structures, whether widely or seldom used: IP, IPX, IPv6, CLNP, AppleTalk and DECnet.
Interconnections are implemented mainly by bridging and routing. The book discusses issues around these two interconnection approaches. It also mentions connections by devices like hubs, which are simple repeaters and widely used in offices. The best part of this book is the section on bridging. One of the author's greatest contributions, the spanning tree algorithm, was made in this area. Routing is complex. The author also did an excellent job in summarizing this issue. Most chapters are devoted to routing. Compared with other books on routing techniques, this one covers more general topics and has more author's comments. Moreover, Perlman's book is outstanding in that it deals with both bridging and routing in one text. Bridging techniques rarely found anywhere else are described in depth.
Confusion in networking terminology often arises in the networking industry. This is due to the complexity of the problems and, historically, the lack of consensus. The author makes complex topics understandable by using simple words and examples. The author tells us the word "switch" means nothing but "fast" bridge or router or some hybrid, better used as a generic term for a box that moves data. She also relates anecdotes, which make the text more entertaining as well as more informative.
Like many other books on networking, this one starts with an introduction to the well-known, seven-layered OSI reference model. The first chapter is characterized by discussions of a few networking properties which are important in network designs.
I found chapters 2, 3 and 4 to be the most interesting part of the book, as with the first edition. They are excellent descriptions of bridging techniques. The author describes transparent bridging and her invention of the spanning tree algorithm in detail. As an alternative (although not popular) solution, source routing bridges are introduced in Chapter 4.
Chapter 5 briefly discusses devices evolved from original repeaters, bridges and routers like hubs, faster and virtual LAN techniques.
Chapters 6 to 15 are about network layer (that is, layer 3) techniques. These chapters cover introductions to almost all major issues about moving data around internets, or simply routing. In these chapters, readers can find a wide range of information on networking techniques such as network service models (like connectionless and connection-oriented, best-effort and reliable services), address structures (like IPv4 and IPv6) and routing protocol data packet formats, and unicast and multicast routing protocols (like RIP, BGP, OSPF, ISIS, PNNI, DVMPR, MOSPF and PIM-SM).
Chapter 16 is an abstraction of the author's PhD dissertation on a technique for a high degree of network robustness.
Chapter 17 and 18 summarize the book. Chapter 17 compares bridges and routers. It further clears the confusion between terms of bridges, routers and switches. Chapter 18 is completely new in the 2nd edition. The author illustrates some good protocol design philosophy by relating some folklore. I thought it was the most entertaining chapter of the book.
The Internet infrastructure, consisting of interconnected devices and information sources, is a must for Linux to flourish. Linux, in turn, has been making ever-growing contributions to interconnection technology. Although not a single word about Linux can be found inside, Interconnections should benefit anyone inside and outside the Linux community, beginner and expert, developer and manager, who is curious about what happens inside networking boxes and wants to obtain a solid knowledge of networking.
He Zhu (email@example.com) is interested in system software and networking. He is currently working for Bell Labs, NJ.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The reason Forsett & Tate look so much more explosive is in part b/c they
fresher, but also b/c both guys get in & hit even the smallest seams & just take whatever they get. Foster seems to want to rip off the big run every time. Sometimes, you just need to get in there & push the pile a little so as to wear the defense down & get them tired.
You realized you just plagarized my last post? Well at least you see as I do as it seems we the only that recognize Foster patient running style in a mess up O line is hampering his game when Tate & Forset are getting better results because they turning up the field faster instead of waiting for holes to develop.

The gold-plated chopsticks aim to evoke the opulence of the Ming dynasty, but bare hands are the best way to tackle chef Richard Chen's big, delicious, and outrageously messy Singapore chili crabs, served family style.
From the From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List
Red velvet, gold-leaf urns and long white tablecloths that hit the floor decorate the glamorous dining room of this Michelin-starred restaurant at the luxe Wynn Las Vegas. For his sophisticated dishes, chef Richard Chen references classical regional cooking styles from all over China.
We loved: Wok-fried Singaporean-style chile crabs; Sichuan-style pork belly with chile-pepper reduction.
Congratulations to Mei Lin, winner of Top Chef Season 12.

The Diamondbacks may have solved their problem of someday trying to
get highly touted shortstop prospects Stephen Drew and Justin Upton
into their lineup at the same time: They plan to have Upton move to
center field.
The decision had been discussed internally, and in recent days it
was taken to Upton, his family and his agent, Larry Reynolds, all of
whom decided the switch is for the best.
"We're dealing with an incredible athlete who has a chance to move
quickly due to his offensive strengths, and in order to keep him on
track, we think this is the best move," said A.J. Hinch, the
Diamondbacks' manager of minor league operations. "We'll start him off
in (Class A) South Bend, just as planned, and let him take off."
Upton, however, will remain in extended spring training for the time
being to rest a sore left shoulder, which he injured on an awkward
swing in a Cactus League game. He aggravated the shoulder recently in a
minor league camp game and probably won't join the South Bend team for
a week or two.
The injury isn't serious, but the Diamondbacks want to proceed
cautiously with the No. 1 overall pick from 2005, whom they signed to a
record $6.1 million deal in January.
--CF Chris Young, still recovering from a broken bone in his right
hand suffered during workouts before spring training, will start the
Triple-A season on the disabled list. Arizona acquired him from the
White Sox in the trade involving RHP Javier Vazquez with the intention
of making Young their future starter in center.
But with SS Justin Upton switching positions to center, what happens
to Young?
"Well, it does mirror the situation we were in before (at shortstop
with Upton and Stephen Drew)," said A.J. Hinch, the Diamondbacks'
manager of minor league operations. "But we'll deal with that in due
time. A lot of good things have to happen before then, and if that's
our biggest problem a few years from now, we'll be ecstatic."
--C Koyie Hill on being designated for assignment and being in a
holding pattern for up to 10 days before his situation is resolved:
"This is the ugly side of baseball, the business side. And it's
probably as much not a reason to play the game as the fun part of
playing it. It's a little boy's game, and we love being little boys out
there. But then you discover the ugly, grown-up side of the game, the
business side, and you view things a heck of a lot different."
--RHP Orlando Hernandez picked up his White Sox World Series ring
during ceremonies in Chicago on Tuesday -- a scheduled day off for
Arizona -- and he was expected to rejoin the Diamondbacks in Denver in
time to make his first scheduled start for the team Wednesday night.
--RHP Luis Vizcaino retired all six batters he faced in his Arizona
debut Monday against the Rockies, but his effort was overshadowed in
the team's 3-2 loss in 11 innings.
"Snyder did a great job with him, mixing it up," manager Bob Melvin
said, referring to catcher Chris Snyder, who replaced starter Johnny
Estrada in the ninth inning. "Luis was shooting some fastballs up,
throwing some fastballs in some unpredictable counts, because everybody
knows he's got a good slider."
--The Diamondbacks were 1-for-11 with men in scoring position and
stranded 10 runners in Monday's Opening Day loss to the Rockies, a
problem that haunted them all of last season. Manager Bob Melvin,
however, doesn't think that will be a recurring theme in 2006 with a
revamped lineup, saying, "I don't foresee us being like that too
BY THE NUMBERS: .327 -- LF Luis Gonzalez's career batting average
(in 272 career at-bats) at Coors Field, where the Diamondbacks opened
the regular season.
.264 -- RF Shawn Green's career batting average (in 216 at-bats) at
Coors Field.

cheap wedding dresses absolutely it is sparkles
Females today drop by great diets to carry womens handbags that they have found on their treasured celebrity,
cheap wedding dresses. For being spotted concentrating on the same bag his or her trendsetting favorites brings about feel special and exceptional. Plus, most women realize that celebrities have it ideal when purchasing superior designer bags.
Shoes. If you are going to an outdoor wedding where you will be standing on grass at any point, you need wedges or flats. I attended a wedding last year at country club and nearly laughed myself into a stupor as I watched dozens of women aerate the lawn with their stilettos.
You are getting a knock-off that has usually been copied from the picture and put together in a factory in China. You are again getting plastic beads, polyester fabric, no built in corset, and you have absolutely NO recourse if the dress is not what you thought you ordered. In fact, sometimes your gown doesn't arrive at all; sometimes they arrive at the last minute.
You can also tell, from the sample above , that list styles grew . If the HTML editor detects new Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) classes whose names . This approach doesn't work in the RTE box - ie. If you want to stay with a romantic theme,
prom dresses, and after all it is a wedding favor, then why not consider wine charms which can have wedding bells or heart shapes and are rather appropriate for a wedding. Of course, these are not something that is seen that often but are very useful when you have large numbers of people in a gathering whose drinks often become lost as they can be left on the glass to identify the owner. For anyone that has been to a party with many people in attendance it is very easy to put you glass down somewhere and either lose it or someone else drink from it..
I wore them to work anyway. Sadly to say, they kept falling and I was not happy. Now I have to send all of the new pants back because I don't want to look like a ham and pregnant. Modest wedding dress that just isn't frumpy and matronly is extremely tough to find,
http://wedding-dressescheap.com. A terrific debate for any selection of white weddingdress is no matter if it will need to be white or not. It will be through the English monarchy leader that sporting white wedding ceremony gown was launched.
Most bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses are designed from a size 8 sample and then graded to larger sizes. This results in dresses that don't do justice to the fuller figure. The farther away from the size 8 the more the proportions of the design are stretched,

3X Slimming Power Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
It is a real challenge sifting through the countless weight loss products at your disposal. In this day and age, dietary supplements are a dime a dozen. However, this certainly does not mean that they all work effectively, nor does it mean they are all safe to use. Now, we are going to take a closer look at 3X Slimming Power capsules. This formula is taken daily in order to potentially burn body fat, and keep it from being stored.
3X Slimming Power is manufactured by a Japanese company (the company name is not given). Overall, this weight loss pill may assist with fat burning, body shaping, detoxification, and energy levels. At least this is how the supplement is pitched. The core ingredient (not specified) used in 3X Slimming Power helps the user by preventing the digestion of dietary fat. This essentially means that the body will not absorb the fat content from food, and therefore not gain unwanted weight. The simple carbohydrates and sugars you consume each day will not be converted to fat inside your digestive tract.
List of Ingredients
Lingzhi, Ebony, Fox-Nut, Tuckahoe, Seman Pruni, Dioscoreae, and Wheat Germ.
Product Features
3X Slimming Power appears to be suitable for both women and men, who desire to reduce body fat. Regardless of what you eat, 60 percent of the fat from the food is not absorbed by the body. Instead, the fat content is just eliminated from the user's body with other waste through a bowel movement. This product should additionally heighten the user's metabolism. Exercise is encouraged for all individuals who take this supplement. One capsule should be taken each morning before breakfast. The retail cost of 3X Slimming Power is $50.58, but it is sold at a discount price of $25.50 (60 capsules) on fuwabuy.com.
- It is easy to acquire 3X Slimming Power via websites like fuwabuy.com.
- This supplement may aid with fat reduction by blocking the fat in foods you consume.
- There are warnings found online regarding this weight loss product.
- There is no official website for 3X Slimming Power capsules.
- There is no elaboration on the active ingredients for this weight reduction drug.
- 3X Slimming Power is not suitable for individuals with heart disease, kidney problems or liver disease.
- No positive feedback is presented from past users of this diet product.
Overall, the information found on 3X Slimming Power capsules is a little unsettling. While it is nice to see the ingredients pasted on websites that sell this product, there is no clinical data provided to support 3X Slimming Power in any way. More importantly, there are warnings concerning this diet drug on other websites. Therefore you might want to check out a few other diet formulas before trying one like this.

Much of what experienced researchers learn is how to narrow down their questions to something they can study. Sure, we might be motivated by the big questions: "How can we cure cancer?" or "How did the universe begin—really?" Research that is doable, however, begins much more modestly. Half the battle in starting a research paper is recognizing an undoable question, and then deciding not to pursue it.
As with much of what I know about writing, I learned this when I wasn't writing. On my 40th birthday I followed the advice of all magazines targeted to women over 40 (which, like a typical overachiever, I'd started reading at age 39) and decided to take up a new sport, something that would give my dwindling years new meaning, stall the ravages of time on my weakening frame, and make me feel "empowered." I was torn between surfing and tennis. Looking around at the Midwestern landscape I realized that unless I could learn to surf on oceans of corn, a racquet was a better investment than a board. Down to my local tennis club I went.
My tennis coach had everything the magazines told me a 40-year old woman would need for that journey to rejuvenation: He looked like a young George Clooney. He also proved to be surprisingly good at tennis. A great believer in learning by doing, Sven (let's call him Sven) would feed me upwards of 50 balls while counting the number of serves I managed to hit in out of the number I'd been fed: "1 of 2, 1 of 3, 2 of 4—back on track for fifty percent." But he also introduced me to a concept that has become critical to me for starting research projects off right—"the Toss."
A Good Toss, if you're a beginner in tennis, goes more or less straight up and down, falling, if you did nothing to interrupt it on its course, just over the baseline in front of you, not too far out that you have to lean way over to hit it, and certainly not behind your back. Seeing me arch painfully backwards to smack a ball clearly beyond my reach, Sven would advise, "Don't hit the bad tosses." Sven managed to be both direct and kind, though he occasionally had the pained look of someone still mulling over what fate had led him to shepherding middle-aged women through their first serves rather than making a go of it on the pro tour.
Sven, I could see, was laboring to find something to praise watching serve after serve go awry. For a long time it was merely my ability to recognize a Bad Toss. Watching me finally catch, rather than try to hit, a ball I threw over my back shoulder, he affirmed: "That's right. Don't hit those bad tosses." And then there was that magic day where I threw a ball up in the air, straight up. I was getting ready to nail it just off its peak when, before I even made contact, Sven said, "That one is going in." He could tell it was going in, he said, just by the Toss.
Starting a research paper is similar to serving in this regard. You have to spend more time than you think on the question that drives your paper—the Toss, as it were, of all else that will follow. And it is here where a Good Toss can make all the difference as to where your paper is going to land.
Let's say you start off with a question like, "How does sexism influence the media in their coverage of women running for public office?" You have the problem that "the media" could be anything: TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, billboards—are all included in the media. Public office includes everything from county coroner to president. Whole departments study sexism. You could only get a piece of that question in an 8-10 page paper you've been given three weeks to write. A question like that is like a toss that's far too out in front—you could lean out as far as you can to try to hit it, and you'd still never get all of it. Don't even try it. You can say something profound about something modest (perhaps about the portrayal of one particular female politician by two different newspapers), and put some power behind it.
Maybe you're not reaching for the stars, but setting your sights too low. When you're serving, if you toss too low you'll likely hit the ball straight into the net; writing to a topic that's too safe will similarly get you nowhere. Let's say your question is what books made the New York Times bestseller list in 1969. That question isn't going anywhere except a list of books. Your twelve-year-old nephew could Google the answer to that one. If the answer to your research question is Google-able, it's beneath you to take a swing at it.
As Sven says, don't even try to hit a Bad Toss. You're better off working for a Good Toss than wasting time chasing a bad one down. Take that New York Times bestseller list question, for example. You might wonder instead why the bestseller list is now about 50% longer than it used to be in 1969.
Sure lots of things could go wrong with a Good Toss. You could trip over your shoelace. You could do something funky with your racquet. You could pull an abdominal muscle on the way through the swing. It is up to you, after all, to follow through, in tennis as in writing, and not screw it up. But starting out badly can only end badly.
In my second year of tennis instruction I took lessons from a beefy woman who just months before joining the club had thwacked her way to the top of the NCAA women's rankings (Sven had by that time moved to Northern California to live in a yurt and play in a Dave Matthews tribute band). Unwilling to even feign interest in my story of mid-life rejuvenation, impervious to my efforts to start chit-chat that would extend the water break, she fed me ball after ball in alternating cross-court style, making me run the baseline until I could feel my age in my knees. On our first lesson on serves I tossed the ball up, excited to show off what I had learned…and then banged it into the net. "That toss," she said. "It's just so important." Yes it is.

Saint Germain update Mar 20/06
Monday, 20 March 2006 08:23
St. Germain 20-March-06
A lot is spoken about your levels of consciousness, and I would like to look at how that applies to you all. It is a combination of different levels of awareness that represent your totality whilst upon Earth. In the beginning you were an aspect of The Creator with all of the knowing and attributes that you would expect. You had no awareness outside of the Godhead, and existed in the Now and all that ever was, Is and will be. The Creator desired to experience outside of itself, and you were breathed out to be part of a great adventure and opportunity to create for yourself. Eventually, you became responsible for your own creations and became God's in your own right.
You had no concept of time such as you know now, and enjoyed playing at being God's. Your creations were imbued with an aspect of your consciousness, and also became free to experience within the great harmony and love surrounding the Godhead. After incalculable time, The Creator decided to give you absolute freewill to create, and desired to know of your experiences outside of the Godhead. Gradually you began to immerse yourself in your own powers, and desired to have total control over your creations. You wished to become as the Creator, and it was decided to allow you totally free expression. As the great Angelic Beings you were, you vied with each other to glorify in your creations.
As you became more self centered, so you forgot your origin and you gradually moved further away from the Godhead. Some became ego centered and moved into vibrations that took them even further away. They believed that they were no longer bound by The Creator's Laws and tried to establish themselves independently. The more that they forgot their beginnings; the more they became immersed in the lower vibrations. The Creator allowed them to continue with their own expression, and eventually they became known as the Fallen Angels. They were allowed to continue tempting each other to create more and more, and the ability to create in perfection became lost.
The Father/Mother Creator saw that from the descent of the Angels, the experiences were provided from which much could be understood about freewill creation. The descent into physical matter followed and there came a time when all memory of their illustrious beginnings was forgotten. Your present Universe was created, and it was for the purpose of experiencing duality which you are now familiar. The Creator was always with you as a loving deity and gave you the freedom to follow a path of your choice. While you were dropping lower into the heavy physical vibrations, you were accompanied by many souls charged with looking after you and guiding your footsteps. You accepted duality as your testing ground knowing that whatever happened to you, one day you would awaken to your true self.
By the very nature of what duality is it has required that you experience the dark and the Light. This you have done for eons of time, and you have traveled the path that has led you to this present period. Now you are beginning to learn of your true beginning, and your Angelic reality from which you agreed to "fall". In fact that term has become synonymous with the Devil/Satan which is your own creation to personify evil. Even that has the wrong connotation as there is in reality no such thing, only Light and the Absence of Light. Understand that you agreed to experience both so that you could take these experiences back to the Godhead with you. The Creator gave you laws to follow, but in no way were they in the form of punishment. That has become Man's way, and The Creator has nothing but Love for his creations.
We know it is a difficult concept to accept that The Creator even loves those that would seemingly work against The Creators Will. It is something that you need to bring into your consciousness. This is particularly important at a time when you are seeing the final outworking of the clearing of your creations. Some souls have to take the side of the dark, and as incomprehensible as it may seem to you, they also immerse themselves in such roles to further their own evolution. They are able to clear Karma by helping you to see the depth to which Man has dropped. They reflect what you yourselves have created, and together you are now about to rise up like the Phoenix out of the ashes of the past.
Perhaps you can now understand why we emphasize the need to be forgiving and non judgmental. As hard as it is to accept, you have all been party to the experiences of Earth, but that is why you came in the first place. Had you not been veiled from your true selves, you could not have descended into matter. Furthermore, you would not have had such an array of experiences, that have made you the wonderful Beings that you have become whilst upon Earth.
You are looked upon as great Beings, because you were prepared to move out of the comfort of the higher realms to become "disconnected" from your Source. You are revered for making sacrifices in the interests of other souls, who are yet to follow on and benefit from your experiences. You are loved beyond measure because you maintained your faith in The Creator. Through Ascension you are returning to the fully conscious Beings you originally were that you know as Angels. You may not believe it, but you are far greater than you give yourselves credit for, and that is only because you have become immersed in darkness for so long. As you grow in Light so you will be able to accept your true status, and the coming changes that will guide you along the path to fulfilment.
I am St. Germain, and in one way to be seen as just another soul like you. We are One, and we all have the same potential to rise up, and in reality none are superior to another but just at different levels of expression and experience. When I return with the Masters we shall salute you and bow before you, as you are truly the Gods that we often tell you about. Feel good about yourselves, and why not as you can now do so without becoming egocentric. Know who you are, and as you enter this final phase it will all become so much easier for you. Can you not feel the Love we have for you, as you should be able to as it enfolds you every step of the way. Walk in Love and give of it freely, it is the greatest service you can give.
Thank you St. Germain.
Mike Quinsey.

Customer Reviews Love This AppI was looking for any type of app that would allow me to build, destroy, and stress test things. This one does all three, it has met every one of my expectations, and is hours of fun in my opinion. Worth every penny. I also bought Dummy Defense for the same reason. One request however, you should add a free play mode that allows us to make the build area as small or large as we please. Using a pre defined area to build is a tad annoying at times, other than that, flawless. Great appI would like to see more scenarios be put into this game, I like the fact that each scenario is completely different and that stress sometimes occur in unexpected areas.

Tuesday, January 28, 2014
ROCHESTER — The Spaulding High School girls basketball team dug itself out of one hole Monday night only to topple into another.
Spaulding 6-2 senior Lyndsee Thompson fouled out late in the third quarter to further hurt the team's chances. The Warriors added to their lead in the fourth quarter with a 16-6 advantage and ended the game on a 30-8 run. Knollmeyer and Melissa MacLeod led the Warriors with 13 points each — all of Knollmeyer's points coming in the second half. Katie Valcich added 12 points. Sydnee Thompson led Spaulding with nine points, while Abby Henderson and Brittnie Gentry added six apiece. The Red Raiders did not help themselves at the foul line where they went 5 for 19. Spaulding was down 23-9 midway through the second quarter, but made a run to cut it to 25-16 at the half on Sydnee Thompson's 3-pointer with eight seconds to go. "We do find a run, but we have trouble keeping the momentum," said Spaulding coach Karen Malsbenden. "That's really hard when you start out slow to come back."
Winnacunnet switched its defense to a fullcourt man-to-man in the second half and that eventually paid huge dividends. The Warriors forced 15 second-half turnovers, 11 in the third quarter.

Art Park + Andrew Gordon
Andrew Gordon, painter from Torquay, Victoria Australia was the most recent Art Park/Atlantic Artist in Residence and held an exhibition of his work at the end of his stay at the Art Park Gallery. This was a special collaboration tee created to celebrate his residency visit and subsequent show. Only 50 tees produced.
About Andrew Gordon
Andrew Gordon is a painter who lives and works on the southern coast of Victoria. He has held 5 solo exhibitions both in Victoria and Queensland. His subject matter generally explores the male figure combining both the playful and the dim elements of life. He is a natural colourist and handles the paint medium with a light touch not dissimilar to a watercolourist. In his recent works Gordon combines his trademark translucency of running colours with a bold and sometimes solid application of paint. Gordon has participated in numerous group exhibitions primarily within artist run spaces throughout Brisbane and Melbourne. His most recent exhibition (February 2011) entitled 'White Line Fever' featured a collection of paintings that highlight the turbulent lives of well known Australian sportsmen.

An obscure plot about Belgian cattle farming turns into an intriguing crime thriller about drug trafficking.
Matthias Schoenaerts portrays Jacky Vanmarsenille in "Bullhead."
Here's a mafia story you won't get from Scorsese. "Bullhead" rips the lid off Belgium's mob traffic in banned cattle hormones.
Despite the unlikely setup, this Oscar-nominated thriller proves that where illegal substances are concerned, one line of trafficking is as deadly as another.
Jacky (Matthias Schoenaerts) is the juiced-up strongman of his cattle-rearing family, the enforcer who slaps sense into upstart farmers when they don't buy his "products" or sell their steers as they've been told. Though he's a 6-foot-plus wall of brawn, there's something wounded beneath his bravado. He still goes by a kid's name, and the violent flaw in his character traces back to a childhood trauma that continues to haunt him.
Writer/director Michael Roskam reveals the shocking nature of that incident in a scene that's both discreet and horrific.
Like the cattle that are being artificially bulked up for slaughter, sad-eyed Jacky with his ever-present syringes of steroids and testosterone is powerful, overgrown and vulnerable. The film follows him through his awkward, lovelorn fascination with a local perfume salesgirl, a stammering, inept relationship that spirals back to Jacky's childhood ordeal.
"Bullhead" is an intriguing rural Euro noir, with its rival camps of French-speaking Walloons and Dutch-speaking Flemish.
The ensemble includes a host of singular supporting characters, from a pair of squabbling auto mechanics who can't agree on how to manage their chop shop to a criminal with a crush on the gay policeman handling his case.
But it's Schoenaerts, who spent two years bulking up for his role, who carries the film on his broad shoulders. He fills the screen physically and emotionally, as well.

Function fitting neural network
Fitting networks are feedforward neural networks (feedforwardnet) used to fit an input-output relationship.
fitnet(hiddenSizes,trainFcn) takes these arguments,
hiddenSizes | Row vector of one or more hidden layer sizes (default = 10) |
trainFcn | Training function (default = 'trainlm') |
and returns a fitting neural network.
Here a fitting neural network is used to solve a simple problem.
[x,t] = simplefit_dataset; net = fitnet(10); net = train(net,x,t); view(net) y = net(x); perf = perform(net,y,t)
perf = 1.4639e-04

250-768-2880 2390 Dobbin Road West Kelowna, BC V4T 2H9
The 1,767 square-metre West Kelowna RCMP Detachment houses 54 RCMP and staff as well as Community Policing services and Citizens Patrol. The building also has a community meeting room.
The building is LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Silver for its many green features.
The building was designed by Omicron Total Building Solutions and constructed by Maple Reinders Inc. Construction began in June 2009. The cost of the building was $8.46 million:
The West Kelowna RCMP Detachment is a tremendous improvement from where officers policing the Westside were housed previously. Up until moving day, September 28, 2010, municipal officers and support staff were housed in a 238-square-metre commercial building at the corner of Old Okanagan Highway and Main Street. Some support staff and equipment had to be housed at other locations throughout the Central Okanagan due to the limited space in these offices. The RCMP considered this arrangement to be inadequate. It also made it impossible to offer some services like criminal record searches and fingerprinting. These services are now provided at the new detachment.
The Detachment was designed with room for future growth in mind, and the potential to add cells exists, if required at a later date. At this time, the Westside uses cells at the Kelowna Detachment. This is more efficient due to their proximity to the Kelowna Law Courts and the added cost of staffing and administering cells in West Kelowna, given how few people would need to be incarcerated on the Westside each year. The detachment serves West Kelowna, Peachland, the Coquihalla Connector/Highway 97C up to Sunset Main, the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area, Ellison, Joe Rich and Big White and is responsible for Okanagan Lake from Peachland to Lake Okanagan Resort. LEED CERTIFICATION
The detachment serves West Kelowna, Peachland, the Coquihalla Connector/Highway 97C up to Sunset Main, the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area, Ellison, Joe Rich and Big White and is responsible for Okanagan Lake from Peachland to Lake Okanagan Resort.
The West Kelowna RCMP Detachment, a "green" building, is LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Silver for its many green features:
On June 12, 2009, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at 2390 Dobbin Road officially marking the start of construction on the West Kelowna RCMP Detachment.
For the groundbreaking, Mayor Doug Findlater was joined by Hon. Stockwell Day, Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Coquihalla; Hon. Ben Stewart, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Westside-Kelowna; and, Insp. Cam Forgues, representing the RCMP.
During the following months, Maple Reinders Ltd. was hard at work constructing the architecturally impressive structure, designed by Omicron, which would become a signature landmark in the District of West Kelowna.
Construction ran into a minor snag, when road salt had to be removed from the site because the substance had been deemed a contaminant under stricter government environmental guidelines that came into effect after the site had been initially prepared for construction. However, from then on, it was full steam ahead, as crews created a building that the RCMP would be proud to call home. An official opening ceremony was held on October 15, 2010.
To learn more about the construction process and operation of the West Kelowna RCMP Detachment, please contact the District of West Kelowna's Facilities Department at:

Terry Crews Has Muppet-Based Epiphany and/or Mental Breakdown in Super Bowl Ad
By Alicia Lutes on January 29, 2014
I'm worried about Terry Crews, you guys. The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star and buff hero of gym rats everywhere has a lot of explaining to do after taking in this year's Toyota Super Bowl commercial. Not because it revealed that he listens to the smooth sounds of sweet, sweet Muzak while riding around in his car (although that leaves plenty of room for a bit of skeptical eyebrow-raising), or because he managed to bury the lede regarding his enviable next door neighbor. It's because it took him an entire 60-second commercial to give into what the stranded Muppets he picked up in his Highlander were putting down. Rule number one when meeting the Muppets is always: just go with the flow and embrace the nuttery.
Alternatively, since it's hard to tell if his run-in with Electric Mayhem was one based in reality or psychosis. The shirt-cape has us thinking one way, that this may have been what happened here — in a bad way. But the fact that he casually lives next door to Kermit the Frog (who knows that feel so well, Terry) points us in an entirely different direction altogether. What is not up for debate is how inexcusable his curmudgeonly attitude towards the band was in the moments prior to his mental breakdown and/or epiphany. Not that we particularly care about the answer, so long as it involves more adorably charming marketing integrations with those kooky Muppets in advance of Muppets Most Wanted (please let them also include Tina Fey at some point. Please, please, please, please, please?).
Get well, soon/enjoy the beginning of the rest of your life, Terry.

Our favorite celebrity children seem to live the life of royalty, and we love swooning over their adorable outfits! But did JLo cross the line when she bought her daughter Emme a $495 designer handbag? Is Emme's accessory totally cute or a little outrageous? Tell us what YOU think?
Jennifer Lopez, 44, was spotted in NYC on July 10 on her way to meet First Lady Michelle Obama at the League of United Latin America Citizens' 85th convention in a gorgeous blush outfit. JLo's most fabulous accessory? Her precious 6-year-old daughter Emme, 6! The pair looked pretty in pink in blush coordinating outfits, but what caught our eye was Emme's Gucci handbag! Is the nearly $500 price tag too much for the youngster?
Jennifer Lopez's Daughter Emme Carries $495 Gucci Bag: Too Much?
Jennifer Lopez's daughter Emme is becoming a fashionista just like mom! The superstar's offspring definitely dressed the part on July 10 as she strutted her stuff next to her always-stylish mom, JLo, looking beyond adorable. But, we couldn't believe that Emme was carrying such an expensive designer bag!
Beyond the bag, Emme's outfit was totally age appropriate. She sported a metallic blush dress that any young girl would love to own and doily socks with black ballet flats. Too sweet!
While the youngster's outfit was so cute, we were a bit distracted by her handbag! Emme carried a GG Gucci Zoo tote that retails for $495! It featured pink bird details that popped against Gucci's signature brown and green pattern.
It's hard to hate on such an adorable outfit! We love that Jennifer is encouraging her mini me to be a fashionista, and while the bag is expensive, it was the perfect piece to complete this outfit.
Besides, where else would Emme keep her crayons?
As the daughter of a world-renowned celebrity, being a little spoiled is inevitable, right? Though we don't recall having a designer tote in our dress up closet, Emme looked so chic with her Gucci bag! What do you think, Hollywoodlifers? Is $495 too much to spend on a handbag for such a young girl?

LVM, Demystified
I've been a sysadmin for a long time, and part of being a sysadmin is doing more than is humanly possible. Sometimes that means writing wicked cool scripts, sometimes it means working late, and sometimes it means learning to say no. Unfortunately, it also sometimes means cutting corners. I confess, I've been "that guy" more than once. A good example is SELinux. On more than a few (hundred!) occasions, I've simply disabled SELinux, because getting things to work right is often really frustrating and time consuming. The same is true with LVM (Logical Volume Manager). I didn't get it. I thought it added an unnecessary layer of complexity. I thought it meant another potential point of failure. I thought it was stupid.
I was wrong.
LVM is an incredibly flexible, ridiculously useful and not terribly complicated to use system. It makes life easier. It makes future storage upgrades and migrations simple. Quite simply, I love it. So in this article, I cover the concepts and usage of LVM. By the time I'm done, hopefully you'll love it as much as I do!
What LVM Is
The best analogy I can come up with for explaining LVM is a SAN. If you've ever used a SAN (Storage Area Network) in your server environment, you know it abstracts the idea of individual hard drives and allows you to carve out "chunks" of space to use as drives. Rather than worrying about how big your hard drives might be, a SAN lets you throw all your hard drives into a big chassis and then allocate space to individual clients without being concerned about how many or how few physical drives are being used. LVM is sort of like that, but for an individual system rather than an entire network.
Figure 1 shows my poor attempt at drawing the concept of an LVM system. At first glance, it might seem like using an LVM is silly. Why combine a bunch of drives together, only to carve them up into virtual drives, right? Thankfully, that simple concept gives incredible flexibility down the road. Need a great big partition, but have only a bunch of smaller disks? No problem. Have only a couple disks now, but want to add more later without reformatting? No problem. Need to take snapshots, like with virtual servers, but you're using actual bare metal? No problem. LVM makes dealing with storage far better than partitioning drives or using a simple RAID setup (which, incidentally, brings me to the next issue).
Figure 1. It's important to think of my drawings as art—possibly second-grade art.
What LVM Isn't
With all the flexibility and expandability I mentioned in the previous paragraph, it seems like LVM would be a perfect replacement for hardware- or software-based RAID. After all, one of the big advantages of RAID is that multiple smaller drives can be used as a single, larger drive. For that particular feature, LVM is indeed ideal. Unfortunately, however, LVM doesn't provide any options for redundancy or parity. That means if you have a drive fail in LVM, you lose data. There's no such thing as striped LVM or mirrored LVM; it's simply not designed to do that.
LVM also isn't designed to increase speed by striping reads and writes across multiple disks. As block devices in the volume group fill up, such simultaneous read/writes may occur, but it's not by design and certainly not to gain speed. Hopefully, it's clear: LVM is really cool, but it is not in any way a replacement for RAID. Thankfully, it doesn't need to be.
(Note: recent versions of LVM actually do provide striping and mirroring features. In some cases, it can take the place of RAID completely. I still think understanding them as separate concepts is important. If you want to learn more about LVM and utilize the RAID features, I'll leave that as an exercise for you.)

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

In countries I know of, people don't really go to public bath houses anymore. However, they do maintain them for tourism purposes or for special events.
In the past when people didn't have baths at home, public bath houses were used regularly and it was a place where socialization took place. For example, in some places, the women's bath house was a place where women met each other, talked and even selected brides for their sons. It was also a place where women could entertain themselves with music, singing, dancing and food.

I wish carriers put as much time in planning their future, launching new services and creating new business models as they do in rejiggering current service plans and forming bundles. T-Mobile USA, perhaps a carrier with a very short future due to the proposed AT&T acquisition is the latest to go down this route. T-Mobile actually has launched some differentiated enterprise wireless services in the past including its voice-over-WLAN service, but lately has not offered much but lower pricing. I always considered T-Mobile USA the "low-cost" (read: cheapest) provider because it routinely offered lowest cost voice and data services. And was proud of it. Unfortunately this is not a successful path to go and it is looking at new ownership.
But T-Mobile USA is now changing its strategy, following Sprint Nextel and its "Simply Everything" down the "high-value, low cost" path by bundling everything and the kitchen sink into a high-end, unlimited voice and data plan. This plan would cost more than 6x what the average T-Mobile USA user spends today (which was $12.80 as of Q4 2010), and about 10% more than the average business user. It has a high value because the unlimited plan ensures a consistent spend and costs less than the sum of its parts. Sprint Nextel has seen some success going down this path, with the majority of its postpaid users are in these plans. But customers going to T-Mobile are not looking to spend more. Instead of trying to add more plans to an already confusing menu, I'd like to see a bigger focus on innovative development and services built around mobility. If that happened, then you could almost charge whatever you want.

WINE · FOOD · BOOZE · VIEW Our south and west walls are windows offering a unique vista and the finest view of the city in the city. Noble Rot is perched atop an award winning, environmentally forward, Leed-Platinum building (the greenest!). The best way to drink the Rot is through the wine flights that are offered each day. Additionally, we have a 300+ bottle list, over 40 wines by the glass and a full bar. Noble Rot's highly regarded, locally-sourced, seasonal menu evolves daily, but menu standards include an endive, beet, blue cheese & hazelnut salad, an onion tart, celebrated macaroni & cheese and a wicked crème brulee. The Rot has a 3000 square foot roof top garden which supplies most of the vegetables and herbs during the long, warm summer months. The garden and the restaurant have their own aquifer, which not only provides an 8000-year-old cheap water source, but it is also pure & tasty. |
Pasta & Pinot dinner series with Apolloni Vineyards! Sunday March 15th. See events page for more info and our BLOG tab for the menu. Noble Rot will be closed Easter Sunday!
