Very much like the colors and style of the new Burberry Prorsum collection.
Recently we became familiar with the Barcelona-based Gabriela Coll Garments. The interesting new project by the Spanish Gabriella Coll focuses on the way of dressing and the value of garments, while working through Series. Each Series is the result of concrete imagery, they do not follow any season or have a fixed number of pieces, and are always permanent. Serie No. 1 is composed of 15 pieces: consisting of garments for men and women, bags, accessories and footwear, marked by the transcendence of time, the way they sit on the body and the nobility of the materials – with everything, from the accessories to the clothes being hand-made. In many ways the project reminds us strongly – aesthetically, in the communication as in the motivations – of the now defunct Maison Martin Margiela or Ines Kaag's Bless, but a wise man once said that originality died with the eruption of the internet, making Gabriela Coll Garments in our eyes a perfect example of a great new interpretation of existing ideas, very much in line with the current zeitgeist. read more…
We are very inspired by LTAF ORIGIN. A design and craft research project by Jorinde Meline Barke, creator of label J-M-B JEWELRY, and Frank Michels, co-initiator at the great Berlin-based industrial design studio GECKELER MICHELS. The outcome of the project is a set of four different jewelry pieces implemented in an ancient indian lost-wax casting technique called Dhokra. During preliminary research, anthropological literature led to Dr. Jaidev Baghels' workshop in Kondagaon — in the city of Chhattisgarh, India — a renowned hotspot for Dhokra. The jewelry pieces were crafted on site under Frank Michels' assistance with both primitive and thoroughly fascinating means. Dr. Jaidev Baghels' son Buphendra Baghel played a decisive role with leading the making and his team of skilled workers. The seemingly simple process turned out to be a complex and almost alchemistic affair, reminiscent of the Bronze Age's enormous power of technical and social revolution. Into operation came materials such as sulfur yellow beeswax and black industrial paraffin way, river bed mudd, cow dung and earth from termite's nests. Remains from used brass vessels were being recycled, and two hens were sacrificed in order to arouse a succesful casting operation. read more…
Berlin-based Lunettes Kollektion translates iconic frames from fashion history to create modern classics. Designer and founder, Uta Geyer's, philosophy stems from the concept of honoring the past while living in the now. As child of an artistic family Geyer regularly tagged along with her sculptor father on trips through thousands of museums and historical buildings, training her eye for shape and form. In 2006, Geyer opened the Lunettes Selection store in Berlin, which quickly gained a large following. Lunettes also developed as a go-to source for theater, television, and film productions, as well as fashion shoots, and its global following grew among those in-the-know thanks to Geyer's online shop. In 2009 Geyer opened a second Lunettes Selection shop and launched the premier collection for Lunettes Kollektion, blending a fashion-forward thinking with the annals of style. Recent collaborations with rising names in fashion like Louise Gray, James Long, ODEEH, Christopher Shannon and Michael van der Ham show the brand's deep connection with the best European design, promising a lot for the future. Make sure to keep an eye on the brand. read more…

We have been fans of the American-Japanese brand Postalco for many years now, also including some of their incredible products in our selection for Our Current Obsessions Nº 1 – NOIR. Last month the inspirational people of Postalco presented an extraordinary new collection of stationery and leather items inspired by the work of the artist Alexander Calder and developed in close collaboration with the Calder Foundation. Postalco was founded in Brooklyn in 2000, but soon moved to Tokyo, where they produce all their products from traditional Japanese craftsmanship, with every colorway of this particular collection carefully selected from those found in the artist's work. After a visit to the Calder Foundation archives in New York, which contains more than 26.000 historic photographs, dozens of films, and over 130.000 documents covering all aspects of the artist's life, Postalco discovered the artist's lesser-known works, including jewelry, textiles, and domestic objects. Inspired by the way Calder erased boundaries between established genres, the resulting collection offers a unique glimpse into the prolific life of one of the most important artists of the twentieth century in an utmost elegant manner. read more…
Since the beginning of this year we have been working on some new, very exciting projects, among which is a little trip into the world of optics. A discipline far too complex to enter without proper experience, therefore we've combined forces with our good friend Bijan Azami, who has 33 years of experience in optics. The last 12 years of this period he has been running Azami Optiek in the Dutch city of The Hague. In this period Bijan and his team at Azami have been passionate about finding those glasses that perfectly reflect the personality of the person wearing it. Every frame sold at Azami Optiek is custom made or selected to accentuate the contours of one's face to perfection with designs that powerfully express inner and outer beauty, through the immaculate combination of craftsmanship and fashion. read more…
We really like the new Australia-based headwear brand named Past Present, which was launched this summer in July, and is inspired by the name itself, merging the old school dapper of the past with the present day modern man. Pair that with the relaxed culture of its city of origin, Perth and you are left with an effortless range of premium headwear. Past Present's first collection was a selection of five and six panel caps, focusing on quality materials and details. The materials used are a mixture of tweeds and wool sourced from Ireland and produced in New Zealand. Finding a common interest in quality and old school style, Past Present also collaborated with the famous Ebbets Field to create a six panel ballcap to help debut their first collection which shows great promise for the years to come. read more…
Since the moment lifestyle brand GERTRUD & GEORGE came to our attention, we knew we wanted to find a way in seriously cooperating with such a like-minded brand. After a couple of months we found the right context and to our great pride GERTRUD & GEORGE became the main collaborator of Our Current Obsessions Nº 1 – NOIR. The inspirational brand is the brainchild of the very gifted Nick F. Cerutti. Founded in 2001 to serve bespoke and semi-bespoke purposes prominently in Japan to begin with, GERTRUD & GEORGE nurtures an intrinsic sense of equilibrium between aesthetics, function and execution in order to conceive pristine high-end goods. Since 2011 Nick and his partner Mathieu Annen have shifted their focus towards accessories and bags, which resulted in a perfect jet-black line named The Esquire Suite, consisting of 7 models which come in three different sizes and varying river buffalo grains and depths. Being highly inspired by Nick's tremendous history, his current work with GERTRUD & GEORGE and his overall vision, we've asked him some questions on his inspirations in life. read more…
The beautiful leather brand ro was founded in New York City in 1999 by architect Gene Miao and apparel designer Yvonne Roe. With the brand they wanted to reflect the unique energy and character of the East Village in Manhattan, while actively adapting to the expectations of metropolitan life. Through its clean silhouettes and quality workmanship, ro soon became available at prestigious stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys in Tokyo, among others. Despite this success changes would occur in the company over the years, with both founders leaving separately. Gene left in 2005 and established 1:1, an architecture and interior design practice in Hong Kong. But in 2012, Gene was invited to rejoin ro as the design director. After witnessing the wasteful demolition of building and interior sites in his work for 1:1, Gene has developed a keen environmental awareness. The architect-designer now identifies both raw materials and former fixtures to reclaim and recycle into reborn furniture. Similarly, ro handbags that become visibly worn from use can be refurbished, retouched and restored into timeless fashion items. read more…
Perfect shades by Warby Parker – as shared on Acquire.
We are extremely proud to elaborately present lifestyle brand GERTRUD & GEORGE: the main collaborator in the very first Our Current Obsession named NOIR. The brand which is the brainchild of the very gifted Nick F. Cerutti, is a tribute to Gertrude Stein and George Sand, whose lives and respective bodies of work never ceased to redefine the art of writing and one's perception of gender. Founded in 2001 to serve bespoke and semi-bespoke purposes prominently in Japan to begin with, GERTRUD & GEORGE nurtures an intrinsic sense of equilibrium between aesthetics, function and execution in order to conceive pristine high-end goods. Since 2011 Nick and his partner Mathieu Annen have shifted their focus towards accessories and bags, which resulted in a perfect jet-black line named The Esquire Suite, consisting of 7 models which come in three different sizes and varying river buffalo grains and depths. read more…
Once again our friend Sergei Sviatchenko returns with a very interesting project. After starting Close Up and Private in 2009 as an online art project in which he shared his collage-like photographic vision on style, it quickly rose to fame for both this created aesthetic as Sergei's own impeccable style, which gained him personally a lot of rightful attention. Based on this fundament of Close Up and Private, Sergei now decided to take his endeavors one step further, in a concept which features continuing collaborations with an international rage of heritage brands and skilled craftsmen. With the new project, named Private Classicist, Sergei aims to create a solid range of classic menswear items that verges on pushing the boundaries of current minimalist fashion towards the classic style championed by Sergei himself and his work. read more…

The smart and beautiful reversible buckle belt by POSTALCO
The Italy-based jewelry label Loha Vete, which was founded by Max Zubari in 2012, is inspired by crime, by taking this rather large associative concept and creating unique and beautifully crafted items in their italian atelier. We still particularly love their most recent, and possibly final, Autumn/Winter 2013 collection which includes a skeleton hand ashtray, a smashed glass bracelet and a bootlace knuckle duster. The equally striking lookbook depicts illustrated people wearing the jewelry, perfectly conveying an aesthetic connotated to crime, which was created by the Paris-based fashion designer and illustrator Evelina Romano. read more…
We love these Macon and Lesquoy pins on Greener Grass Design.
It's been a while coming, but good ideas sometimes need time, and the latest by the J. Panther Luggage Co. is again of our highest liking. Their all new 3-way carry RollTote brings modern functionality and refinement, to the classic, utilitarian roll-top backpack. To the standard ruc mode two additional, flexible carry options were added: removable, fully adjustable leather shoulder straps attach via 'O' ring for ruc carry, with the option to re-attach one of these straps across the top of the bag for tote-style use. A leather side handle, meanwhile, offers the third option of hand carry. Precise positioning of straps and handle ensures optimum weight distribution and comfort for all physiques; like the reinforced base these are crafted from premium Horween leather that is highly durable and ages beautifully. The RollTote comes in the colors Black, Olive and Sand in J. Panther's signature 21oz lightly waxed, water-resistant canvas promising the RollTote to see you through the heaviest storm. read more…
We love this leather NATO Watch Strap in a beautiful dark marine by Feit.

We love this beautiful collaboration between German fine leather house TSATSAS and photographer Ramon Haindl, initiated by Aesthetics Habitat. The project is the latest endeavor from Aesthetics Habitat's motivation to stimulate independent creation of genuine content in cooperation with brands and creative visionaries. And this particular collaboration is even coming from a like-minded neighbourhood as both, photographer Ramon Haindl and fine leather craftsmen TSATSAS, live and work in Frankfurt am Main. Subtle structures and a high level of attention to the characteristics of surface invite you to observe the fundamental significance of skin without the disturbance of color. A sensitive ensemble of details and protagonists embracing a simply perfect product. Creative Direction on the project was done by our friends of Deutsche & Japaner, completing the line-up of creatives perfectly. read more…

We really appreciated the last parcel of luxury subscription service Svbscription. What was already the eighth parcel stood for timelessness, quality and a respect for function: all things that iconic pieces have in common. A parcel of classics, focussed on enhancing the style and home of each recipient. The entranceway, coffee table, bar and closet were all considered within the curation. Creating classics meant challenging the Svbscription collaborators to push their own practice in new directions. The brief was to revere the old, but create something new. This resulted in the fact that Australian industrial design duo Daniel Emma designed a set of marble coasters cut from the finest Italian and Spanish marble. Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert, the French glass artist best known for one-off large-scale sculptures, crafted individually hand blown whiskey glasses. Bespoke tailor Paul Marlow made an elegant tie, bow tie and scarf, and The Paris Review provided some dignified reading material. In our eyes a great set of modern classics was created living up to the high standard Svbscription has already set for itself. read more…
Recently we came across this beautiful and inspirational project by the Bergen, Norway-based Of and With Studios. They recently released a collection of leather bags crafted from the last batch of leathers ever tanned on Osterøy Island, Norway. The project started in the summer of 2010, when they met Erling Teigland, initially to find out if there were grounds for a collaboration. Erling had worked at the Borge tannery since he came out of high school in 1970. Unfortunately only months after the first meeting between Of and With and Erling, he had his last day at work, because the world-renowned tannery was forced to shut its doors. The company that had been tanning since 1889, quietly supplying the finest names in high-end goods, from Louis Vuitton and Hermès to entire African royal families was no more. This moment sparked the ambition to start a journey to honor sincere and joyful craftsmen like Erling and the fine tradition that Borge represented. A journey that continued on to eventually become the first in-house lifestyle brand by Of and With Studios named Ætt. read more…
We love the amazing still life campaign featuring Linda Farrow's Spring/Summer 2014 icons, shot by the highly talented Belgian photographer Frederik Vercruysse in a collaboration with art direction studio Uber en Kosher. Vercruysse is most known for his minimalistic, but highly stylized photography and former collaborations with Filip Dujardin. For the seasonal pieces shot by Vercruysse, Linda Farrow draws inspiration from cosmetic pastels and a new-found love for the eclectic stylish Seventies, creating a diverse and adventurous exploration of fashion eyewear. The constant elements are the hyper-luxe materials including snakeskin and gold, superlative finish and fashion-forward shapes Linda Farrow has become renowned for. The campaign showcases the LFL306 model, crafted from yellow gold and ash snakeskin frame teamed with gold plated lens, and the LFL300, made out of rose gold and its amazing mocha snakeskin frame teamed with a rose gold lens. read more…

So we have been rather critical of schools like Alabama, LSU, USC and UCLA offering scholarships to kids still in middle school, but we can do nothing but laugh when Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin and his recruiting tactics. I mean, it's the 'Dores, who really takes them seriously? E Franklin isn't afraid to go young when it comes to recruiting, and by young, we me in the womb, as he told The Tennessean: "If I see a 6-foot-6 man walking in the mall with his wife, and she's 6-2 and she's pregnant, I'll go up and offer their unborn child," Franklin said. "I'm not exaggerating. I do that all the time. If I go to speak at an elementary school, if I'm out at a restaurant, we kind of have fun with it. It's about developing a relationship with people. It's about getting them connected with Vanderbilt. It's about making people laugh and telling a story and having fun. It's about having a sense of humor and not being some robot coach that I don't want to be." Yes, it is funny. Just like the Vanderbilt football program. This is par for the course with Franklin, who last year [...]

I am a respectful guest and a good listener who enjoys even better conversation--but also needs some quiet time during the day.

Julia's place is very nice and very clean. The neighborhood around Manor road is cool with a few restaurants, bars and coffee shops. The bus ride to downtown is quick and easy.
Julia was a lovely host and her apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin. We loved the neighborhood-the apt is on a very up and coming street and my boyfriend and I enjoyed exploring the hip restaurants and bars in the area. The apartment itself is cozy and great for our weekend stay. Julia was also really easy to get in touch with and an all around great host. She left a list of her favorite spots around Austin for us-we loved the Yellow Jacket Social Club bar which she recommended. Overall a great experience!
Julia was incredibly accommodating! The place was nice and clean and Julia was very laid back and happy to work around my plans. Had a great stay, and even went back and stayed again!
Stay again because i loved it so much!
It was a pleasure hosting Julia and her friends. I would be happy to welcome her again to Acorn House.

Simply Faithful
Marketta Gregory never meant to be a columnist. \x34I trained to be a newspaper reporter -- one who tried to her best to be objective. I covered religion for a few years and felt like it was the best job a curious woman like me could ever have. Every day I got to listen as people told me about the things that were most important to them, the things that were sacred. But the newspaper industry was changing and few papers could afford to have an army of speciality reporters. So, I moved to cover the suburbs where, as luck would have it, they have plenty of religion, too. Eventually, children came into the picture. One by birth and another two months later by foster care/adoption. I struggled to chase breaking news and be home at a decent hour, so I made the move to what we journalists call the dark side: I took a job in public relations. (Don't worry. I work for a great non-profit, so it's not dark at all.) When I gave my notice at the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle, the executive editor asked me to consider writing a column on a freelance basis. She didn't want the newspaper to lose touch with its religious sources, and she still wanted consistent faith coverage. I was terrified. It took me about 10 months to get back to her with a solid plan and some sample columns. And so it began, this journey of opening up my heart to strangers.\x34

How tiny Jamaica develops so many champion sprinters
The world's two fastest men will go head-to-head in Jamaica's Olympic trials this weekend.
Alfredo Sosa – Staff
Kingston, Jamaica
As late afternoon trade winds drift into Kingston's National Stadium, the world's fastest man ambles back to his starting blocks.
Usain Bolt's performance in this training session is less than lighting-fast, however, and it fails to impress his coach, Glen Mills. "Make sure you do them good, otherwise you'll do them tomorrow morning – early," he barks.
A month ago, Mr. Bolt lived up to his name by breaking countryman Asafa Powell's world record in the 100-meter dash. The two hold the five fastest recognized times in the event and will go head-to-head this weekend in Jamaica's Olympic trials.
Yet these men are just two of dozens of top-flight Jamaican sprinters who are poised to put the tiny island nation on the map in the same way Kenyans and Ethiopians are known to dominate long-distance running. Jamaica's Olympic track team is so deep in talent that these trials will be like watching American NBA stars vie for a spot on ™basketball's famous Dream Team.

Mumblins are dangerous monsters in Tresed. When killed, Mumblins tremble and explode. So it is best to move away from the Mumblin that has been killed. Also, Anuvis is a monster that appears in the middle of the mission. He uses a totem that decreases the party's moving speed and attack speed. When the totem is summoned, it is better to clear the totem first. Cooky is the boss monster of Tresed. He drops stones from the sky, but these are also avoidable.

Shareholder disputes in the British Virgin Islands
By Andrew Willins
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is best known for its role as a holding company jurisdiction — a jurisdiction through which joint venture parties will often co-operate in ventures far removed from the shores of the BVI in sectors as disparate as energy and natural resources to shipping and trading goods.
The latest statistics released by the BVI Financial Services Commission show that there are some 480,072 active companies on the register and many more that are inactive. It is therefore natural that where differences arise between joint venture parties, it is to the BVI, and its successful Commercial Court, that they head to resolve their disputes.
Such litigation may take a number of different forms. As in Liao v Upbeat Global Ltd (BVIHCM80/2010), a party may challenge the validity of resolutions. In that case, the claimant established at trial that notice of a shareholders meeting had not been given and that DHL packages that had been sent (on the defendant's case, containing notice of that meeting) were in fact an elaborate fraud, containing nothing other than marketing literature. It may, as in Royal Westminster v Nilon (BVICVAP 2011/0001), take the form of a dispute in relation to the ownership of shares, usually in the form of an action for declaratory relief or an action under section 43 of the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 for rectification of the register, or it may take the form of a derivative action or a claim for unfair prejudice…

Geneva is an international center and the transportation hub for most of French-speaking Switzerland. This translates to very easy access into and out of the city.
Getting Into Geneva
Arriving by Plane
The Geneva International Airport is located just four kilometers (about two miles) from the city center and easily connected to it.
The train station is easily accessed on the Check-in and Arrival levels of the airport, and run from 5:15 a.m. until just after midnight. The journey between the airport and the Cornavin train station takes just six minutes. Several bus lines also run between the airport and various points in the city.
Tickets cost the same as all other public transit (CHF 3), but visitors to Switzerland are entitled to free public transit access. You can get a temporary transit pass, good for 80 minutes, at the machines in the baggage claim area. You'll receive your Geneva Transport Card upon checking in at your hotel (see our Getting Around guide for more information).
Taxis from the airport cost between CHF 30 and CHF 35, but expect to pay an additional fee for luggage.
More information on flying into Geneva
Visit our Geneva budget flights section for more information on low-cost airlines flying into and out of Geneva.
Arriving by Train
Geneva's train station, Gare de Cornavin, is located in the Right Bank District of Paquis, very close to a number of hotels and attractions and within a 20-minute walk of Old Town. It's a major travel hub, with train service to and from various Swiss cities and beyond.
For more information, visit the www.cff.ch.
Arriving by Bus
Both local and international buses arrive into and depart from Gare Routière. The bus station is located in the Right Bank, not far from the Cornavin train station, and is well-serviced by local buses and trams that run throughout the city.
For more information, visit the Gare Routière Web site.

Who are we? EuroCheapo is a guide to budget hotels in Geneva and throughout Europe. Our Swiss investigator recently visited and reviewed dozens of hotels in central Geneva, looking for the most affordable accommodation options.
Geneva, of course, isn't a natural destination for Cheapos. The city exudes luxury, with high-end shopping and four-star restaurants galore. Hotels, for the most part, follow their lead, and four-star options for business and government travelers abound.
But all is not lost, happily, for the budget traveler. Geneva offers a host of two- and three-star hotel options, along with some of the cleanest hostels we've ever happened upon. Yes, dear Cheapo, you can afford to visit Geneva!
Getting started: To find the right hotel for your trip, start by reading through our budget hotel recommendations. If you'd like some direction on choosing a neighborhood, read through our neighborhood overview. And for more franc-saving tips, flip through the articles listed below.

A decade ago, I asked a venture capitalist in computer networking if dedicated network gear would ever be replaced by software running on a standard computer. My hypothesis was that as general-purpose computers became more powerful, they could absorb functions that previously required specialized computer hardware, the way many functions can be performed on PCs today that once required mainframes. The venture capitalist assured me it would never happen, for a variety of reasons, even if it became technologically possible.
Fast forward 10 years, and the computer networking world is abuzz with talk of "software-defined networking"— software that can perform the same functions as dedicated hardware, but instead runs on an Intel-based server.

But the discussion of SDN is a sideshow. A more prosaic battle is playing out, as Cisco and others are already cannibalizing the network switches they have long sold, providing what are called "virtual" switches that are just software programs that run on a server.
A network switch or router is a specialized computer with specially developed chips that perform calculations to determine how to direct bits of data between computers.

Think of a computer network like a tree, made up of the trunk (the most complex, core switches), branches (less complex switches), and leaves (computers). The tiniest branches, the parts closest to individual computers, are established using "edge switches." They are the simplest, cheapest equipment, and they can most easily be replaced by software, says Joe Skorupa, who follows the market for Gartner.
"It is absolutely the case that if you build it properly in a virtual environment, you don't need as many switch ports" in hardware, says Skorupa. He thinks VMware is in the lead in replacing the humble edge switch with software.

Both are alternatives to Cisco's Nexus line of hardware.
The virtual switch movement is already having an impact on network equipment, shaking up the rankings of who's top dog in individual categories of switching.
Dell'Oro Group, the Silicon Valley market-research firm that has for years tracked shipments of networking hardware, says that sales of a switch called an "application delivery controller" are beginning to shift toward "virtual" units, with software actually displacing networking gear.
F5 Networks has traditionally dominated ADC sales, but Dell'Oro shows that in the first quarter of this year, competitor Riverbed Technology RVBD 0.04782400765184122% Riverbed Technology Inc.

That little tidbit prompted Morgan Stanley analyst Ehud Gelblum on June 3 to cut his rating on shares of F5 from a Buy to a Hold, writing that virtual switches turn out to be more important than he'd previously thought, citing the Dell'Oro data.
THAT'S NOT THE ONLY REVERSAL. Dell'Oro claims that Riverbed, which sells the vast majority of switches known as "WAN optimization," is No. 2 in virtual switches, while Cisco is in the top spot and closely held Blue Coat Systems is third.
Casey Quillin of Dell'Oro tells me that it's difficult to put a number to the amount of cannibalization that's going on. For one thing, in some cases, virtual switches displace hardware sales while in other cases they are complementary. Then too, there aren't precise data on how virtual switches are used once they're shipped. But the trend is clear, he says: "Physical unit growth is slowing and virtual appliance unit growth is increasing."
"An entire class of switching equipment may go away," Skorupa says. Extrapolating a bit, he adds, "What could change the world is if Microsoft buys one of these software-based networking vendors and certifies their wares to work with System Center," Microsoft's program for computer management, in conjunction with no-name switching equipment.
He was thinking of startups such as Cumulus Networks and Pica8 that make switching programs that run on no-name hardware.
Another force that will push forward software networking is Amazon.com AMZN -0.4958344531040043% Amazon.com Inc.

A report in late May by Morgan Stanley's Gelblum and his colleague Scott Devitt, who covers Amazon, warned that Amazon Web Services threatened just about all traditional IT vendors.
Amazon Web Services can become a buyer of tremendous power, and one thing it may do is buy a lot more networking software than hardware, they opine.
The immediate result, says Skorupa, is that switch software should cost less than hardware boxes, which means lower revenue for networking vendors.
Although the market for software switches is still young, early success may be a part of the recent weakness in results of the networking vendors. Their first-quarter reports in April and May were dispiriting.
Juniper Networks, F5, and Riverbed all reported lackluster results and outlook. Cisco slightly beat expectations and offered an in-line forecast, making it the best house in a bad neighborhood.
Cisco has already said that it expects to become more of a software and services vendor than simply a box maker. It's an open question just how drastically the software movement upends results for Cisco and its smaller competitors, and whether challengers such as Citrix will find themselves with tremendous upside.

"This is Milo hay or gib corn, some people call it sorghum, it's not the best in the whole world but it's a damn site better than none," explains Gates.
Most years his cows thrive on green grass that is fed by winter rains in the Sierra foothills. But Gates says this winter if there's a blade of grass he's trying to figure out how to put a cow on it to eat it.
"Look at it out there, they ain't nothing for 'em to bite, they're wearing their teeth out trying to get at it."
Jim Gates, Nevada County Free Range Beef
We hop in his truck to feed some of his nearly 400 head of cattle. He says he's already had to feed more than two years worth of hay.
"They weren't billowing at me because they think I'm a good guy," Gates says. "They're billowing at me because this hay's on the back of the truck. This is going to affect the bottom line big time."
As we drive into his field with the feed, the cows come running.
Demand for hay has increased, so has its price. Finding it is another chore. Gates says most ranchers he's talked to have given up trying to feed their herd through the drought. Instead, they've sold their cattle.
"They just took them to the auction, cut their herd in half, it's half the feed, just like that. I don't have that option. The cattle you seen already sold, this year, next year the following year."
Dan Macon owns about 200 head of sheep. Several ewes would normally be grazing this time of year on his farm in Auburn. But the pasture is nothing but stubble. His pond is almost empty.
"Normally by this time of year our pond is full too so that's a pretty good indication of how dry it's been. And out here with this number of sheep we'd have grass that was three or four inches high on a normal year."
- Dan Macon, Flying Mule Farm
Macon says this winter is the worst drought he's ever experienced, and it will likely be one of the most expensive. In normal years of rain and grass, he would budget about a pound of hay per ewe per day.
"We try to keep three pounds per head per day going into the winter just in case we have a dry spell and this year we're feeding about six pounds of hay per day, double what we budgeted."
With no grass to hold down feeding costs, Macon says that leaves him with just one
"We're going to have to sell 30 to 40 percent of those ewes just to bring our feed demand back in balance with the limited supply of grass this year. And that I think for every livestock producer having to sell animals there's an emotional attachment that's really, we don't talk about it much but that's one of the really hard parts about drought to me."
To put the drought into some perspective, UC's Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center has measured the amount of grass it has grown for the last 30 years.Macon says he'll make the decision at the end of the month, and if there's no rain, some of the animals in which he and his wife have invested ten years will have to go to auction.
"What we saw this year really shocked us," says Jeremy James the Center's Director. He says they've grown about 40 pounds of grass per acre.
"What we would normally would grow during that window between September and the end of December is about 500 pounds, so we're about ten times lower on feed this year," says James.
That's the lowest on record. James says ranchers are going to need more options than buying feed or selling their herd. The Center is holding a conference this week to help ranchers survive the drought and stay in business.

Every government agency seeks the elusive "secret sauce" for cybersecurity -- the right combination of defenses, policies and people that create the best position against cyberattacks. But too often, the pursuit becomes mired in compliance and the complexities that comprise today's congested cyber landscape.
Most experts agree that much needs to change in terms of federal cybersecurity, including a wholesale shift in approach that better integrates agility, continuous monitoring and a broader team beyond just IT, according to former top officials speaking Oct. 10.
"We need to get away from this compliance-focused approach to cybersecurity and mature that entire process to adapt to the changing threats and a changing landscape," said Earl Crane, former White House national security adviser for cybersecurity policy now at Promontory Financial Services. "Trying to do that with a checklist-based model isn't achievable."
Crane spoke as part of a panel at an Association for Federal Information Resources Management event in Washington, D.C.
Much of the new-age approach to cybersecurity that experts encourage centers on continuous monitoring and risk management, buzzwords that so far are tough to find within official governance. Crane and others argue that those changes are overdue, along with some others that date back to the 1996 enactment of the Clinger-Cohen IT management reform legislation.
"I don't think that merging of the CIO, CFO [and] deputy secretary has happened to the extent that it should be," said Karen Evans, national director of the U.S. Cyber Challenge and former Office of Management and Budget administrator.
There is, she said, a conversation that is largely not taking place, one about how investment priorities, risk tolerance and contingencies support an agency's primary mission. "That conversation is supposed to have been happening since 1996, but it's still not happening," she said. "We have all these tools out there, but until we have this conversation, nothing can happen."
Evans also suggested another shift in approach: While consistency might be lacking in policy and governance, other sources -- including audits and inspector general reports -- can be effective in getting through to decision-makers.
"The things that senior leadership does respond to are GAO reports [and] IG reports, and in private industry the audit committee is the most powerful on any board," Evans said.
Those audits and reports can be essential in identifying gaps in an agency's security stance, and as a result can supplant outdated or cumbersome directives with more effective guidance.
Cybersecurity is "now being brought into the audit committee because that's what leadership looks at – they look at the results of an audit," Evans said. "And so what some of us think needs to happen is the IGs in the government monitoring against that. They do the evaluation from that point and that becomes the baseline of the agency from an independent evaluation."
Still, that can mean a significant departure from the status quo, something that is difficult to do – and a major factor in why those changes have not happened yet.
"In government, in my experience, you have to bring people along to effect change and it's a long process," said Richard Spires, former Homeland Security Department CIO. "Before you can get it done, things change out from under you. Leadership changes, some new dynamic happens and then you find yourself back at square one. I think those changing dynamics can be a big reason why we don't have these sophisticated" processes.

Call for suspension, transfer of officials
Condemning the alleged attack on on-duty Railway Police Force (RPF) personnel by office-bearers and members of the South Western Railway Mazdoor Union (SWRMU), RPF personnel staged a protest here on Friday.
The RPF personnel marched to the office of the Divisional Railway Manager, under the aegis of the SWR Hubli Division of the All-India RPF Association (AIRPFA), and held a dharna condemning the attack. They have sought the suspension of those involved.
The protesters complained that the some office-bearers of the SWRMU, led by its general secretary A.M. D'Cruz, staged a demonstration outside the chamber of the Chief Personnel Officer of the SWR and subsequently barged into the official chamber. On hearing the commotion, the Constable of the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) of SWR Headquarters, C.I. Koppad, started recording the protest using his mobile phone, as per instructions of the administration. However, Mr. D'Cruz and other office-bearers including C. Murugan and Arun L.K. attacked Mr. Koppad and snatched his mobile phone. Mr. Koppad sustained injuries in the attack, the protesters said.
They alleged that subsequently, the officials threatened Inspector of SIB G. Boro of dire consequences if the RPF personnel recorded any future agitations by the union.
Mr. Koppad was treated at KIMS Hospital for injuries. He has lodged a complaint with the Keshwapur police on the case. Four months ago, in a similar incident, RPF personnel were attacked and a video camera was snatched at the office of the Additional Divisional Railway Manager of Hubli.

If you are trying to maintain a healthy heart here are some choices that you may want to implement into your lifestyle. I know that some of these may be very difficult for some people to do, but you have to ask yourself, Do I want to be healthy?
The following are all things you can do that are beneficial to the overall health of your heart. First, you should drink at least eight cups of water per day and exercise as much as possible.
I know this one might sound weird, but try to take deeper breaths when you breathe. This allows your body to get the maximum amount of oxygen in each breath, this is simply healthier for you and your heart. You also should consider getting a HEPA certified air purifier for your home and work place.
The most important thing you can do to maintain a healthy heart is to eat as many fresh organic, fruits and vegetables as possible. It is also best to eat them uncooked, cooking can reduce the nutrient content within the vegetable.
You will want to go buy some mouthwash for your breath because you need to eat a lot of onions and garlic, and if you don't like them you should take a natural garlic supplement. Garlic and onions help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as help support your immune system.
You need to increase your fiber intake. Fiber helps maintain the proper functioning of the large intestine, and it binds to harmful materials and makes sure they are eliminated from the body. Fiber also aids in weight loss and in the absorption of critical nutrients your body needs daily.
You can increase your fiber intake by eating more raw organic fruits and vegetables or taking a natural fiber supplement.
You also should try to eat wild, not farm raised, fish twice a week, and if you do not like to eat fish that much you should get your omega-3's from a fish oil supplement.
The following are what you should avoid or watch our for if you want to maintain a healthy heart. You want to keep your stress level to a minimum. We all live pretty hectic lives, but the only way you will effectively get anything done is if you are healthy.
Is all that running around worth a heart attack later in life? I don't think so. Take time for yourself everyday to exercise, you will notice that your stress levels will dramatically decrease just with regular exercise. Don't have time? Make time. Your heart will thank you.
Try to avoid any toxic exposures of any kind, this means avoid processed food as much as possible and also avoid poor air quality. If you want a healthy heart you need to stay away from any trans fats and hydrogenated oils, deep fried foods, margarine etc.
To have a healthy heart you should also avoid tobacco, too much alcohol, too much caffeine, soda, and most juice drinks, they are just like soda. If you don't believe me read the ingredients. Usually the only difference between most juice, sports drinks and soda is the carbonated water and the flavor.
If you are on medication for a heart condition always follow your medical provider's advice and you should also try to educate yourself on the medication you are taking and any possible side effects you may need to look out for. If you are experiencing a lot of side effects, ask you doctor if they know of any natural remedies for your condition.
You should also get to know your family history of any heart conditions and address any possible concerns that may exist. If you are concerned see your local certified medical provider.

Tech Tip: View Config Files Without Comments
I've been using this grep invocation for years to trim comments out of config files. Comments are great but can get in your way if you just want to see the currently running configuration. I've found files hundreds of lines long which had fewer than ten active configuration lines, it's really hard to get an overview of what's going on when you have to wade through hundreds of lines of comments.
$ grep ^[^#] /etc/ntp.conf
The regex ^[^#] matches the first character of any line, as long as that character that is not a #. Because blank lines don't have a first character they're not matched either, resulting in a nice compact output of just the active configuration lines.
invert it!
$ grep ^[#] /etc/ntp.conf
Egrep to remove comments and empty lines
egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/ntp.conf
sed trick
alias cleanconfig='sed -e '\''s/#.*//'\'' -e '\''s/[ ^I]*$//'\'' -e '\''/^$/ d'\'''
I like vim syntax
I like vim syntax highlighting in these cases :)
My version of filtering is
My version of filtering is very similar to the last comment before mine:
egrep -v "^[[:cntrl:] ]*[#;] file
This also filters out comment lines starting with tab(s), followed by # or ; (openvpn's configuration file is a good example that uses both # and ; as the comment characters.)
To make filtering easier, I add the following function into my ~/.bashrc
cf() { [ $# -lt 1 ] && echo "Usage: $0 file" && return; egrep -v "^[[:cntrl:] ]*[#;] $1; }
If I want to view a config file without comment and empty lines, I simply do a
cf config_file
My version of filtering is
Sorry, dropped the part that filters empty lines, here's the corrected one:
egrep -v "^[[:cntrl:] ]*[#;]|^$"
And I found it to be more convenient to define the above command in alias, i.e., I add this line to ~/.bashrc
alias cf='egrep -v "^[[:cntrl:] ]*[#;]|^$"'
Now I can use it in either way of the followings:
I simply do this: $:
I simply do this:
$: "editor" /etc/file_to_view
where "editor" is your favorite editor...then I dynamically filter out the comments using my brain.
come on, this tip is sooo basic - are we going to permute all the possible little CLI tricks one can do and then
compete with one another over who's script is better? - geez.
Testy are we
A bit on the testy side. Get back in the lab, get to work and shut up.
Use 'cut' instead
Better use cut to clear comments from your files. This way you can clear away comments after regular text too. If you want to get rid of extra newlines, you can add a tr.
cut -f1 -d"#" FILENAME | tr -s '\n'
Here's mine
alias jdp='perl -ne "print unless (/^\s*([#!;]|\/\/|$)/);"'
"jdp" == "just data please"
I use this command to strip
I use this command to strip comments from any files I find
grep -vE '(^[[:space:]]*($|(#|!|;|//)))'
P.S. I made an alias ;)
grep -vE
grep -vE '(^[[:space:]]*($|(#|!|;|//)))'
That's not so good if you have some line something like that :
include /bla/bla.conf # include bla
you lost that line if you use that command.
This get very similar
This get very similar effect, with less type ;)
$ grep -v '#' /etc/ntp.conf
grep -v '#' file might filter out valid lines
Be careful when you use
grep -v '#' file
as it'll filter lines containing #'s, regardless # is the beginning character of a line or not. In other words, lines like this will be filtered as well:
var1=some_value # define var1
Obviously you don't want that line to be filtered.
I've used that one, too, but it's not as good
It won't strip out blank lines like the regex in the article.
Hi, I also use a lot: $
I also use a lot:
$ egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*#|^$" /etc/ntp.conf
