A Folk festival typically celebrates traditional folk music, But these days, the Newport folk festival challenges peoples expectations of what folk should look and sound like, with a surprising lineup of artists that includes the Gothic rock singer Cold Specks, Nigerian Tuareg guitarist and singer Bombino, and shape-shifting rock artist Beck.
The Newport folk festival is one of the country's most prestigious and historic annual musicalperformances.Its legacy stretches back more than 50 years, with a long list of memorable performances from some of the most influential artists of all time: Bob Dylan (some will remember the booing of his electric guitar), Pete Seeger, Joan Baez and many, many more.
With a beautiful setting, Fort Adams State park, an amazing set of bands, the festival is less frantic than most music festivals. One can pretty much see everyone without going crazy. Or you can plant yourself a nice little seat by the main stage and see a whole host of amazing bands . . . This year there's more than 50 acts.
One of the great things about the Newport Folk Festival is that people have this image, because of the words "folk festival," as to what it is. And what Newport has always done has shaken what people think of as folk music. And Cold Specks is a Canadian artist that would shake that stereotype.
Fort Adams is located at 90 Fort Adams Drive, Newport, RI, 02840. One of the park system's national treasures, Fort Adams is situated at the mouth of Newport Harbor with panoramic views of the Newport Bridge and the East Passage. The festival at the Fort features 4 stages of music, food & crafts, and a number of displays.

Strolling down Memorial Boulevard from Bellevue, you can faintly hear sounds of drums bouncing off the historic building walls. As you approach the Long Wharf, you can begin to feel the bouncing off your chest, an in a moment it is silent. A moment goes by and the Taiko drum performers pause in a statuques position. Then the drums begin again, louder than and faster than before the grand finale begins, and with each strike the performers hit each drum with precision, making for a great finale and an opening of a wonderful festival. Every year I look forward to the Black Ships festival and its cultural influence on our historic town of Newport, RI. With more than enough activities for every one of our guests to enjoy this is one festival not to be missed.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, The Black Ships Festival offers a variety of events that emphasize both Japanese art and culture. Each year the Black Ships Festival commemorates the historic achievements of Commodore Mathew C. Perry USN, of Newport. In 1854 Commodore Perry negotiated the first treaty ever signed between the United States and Japan, the Treaty of Kangawa. For the past several years, Newport and its sister city Shimoda celebrate this momentous occasion with many joyful events for all ages to enjoy.
All festivities in Newport are a short stroll away from the Ivy Lodge Bed and Breakfast. Our guest will be able to enjoy the cultural haven with Newport's celebration beginning on July 18th as the Navy Band salutes the black ships at 6:00pm on the Long Wharf Mall. One block from the Navy Band concert you will find the Japanese Fine Kimono Exhibit, Silken Craft and Embroidery, where widely renowned Kimono artist, Hiroko Ichie, presents an exhibit of the fine art of Japanese Kimono. From selection and assembly of the finest silk to the detailed embroidery of the Kimono's "obi" belt, her handiwork is exquisite. Come see her display throughout the entire weekend of the Black Ships Festival in the rear row of Brick Market Place.
The events don't end there, just a brief walk down Bellevue to Touro Park, our guests will be engulfed with more festivities than one can admire in a day. With concessions, displays, exhibits and demonstations, ensuring everyone will enjoy this festival and will make memories for a life time.

I have a schema with a number of many to many relationships and what I'm seeing is a alot of similar data structure spread out among tables with different names. The intuition I have is that there is a more efficient/desirable way to achieve the same result but I'm not sure what alternative approaches fall into reasonable design/best practices.
Note: Counries, TrafficTypes and People - as they exist now - could all be represented by Id and Name columns, but in the future may have additional fields. Maybe what I'm after is some kind of technique akin to inheritance?

Welcome to the wonderful Las Vegas!
Ash purchased this house in 2006
Quiet & Safe Neighborhood close to the Strip.
Convenient location for all visitors.
This is the second time we have rented this property, both time for big family occasions. Once again we were thrilled, and our guests just raved abouth the house. Ash, as always was very helpful. Location is very convenient.. House was emaculate when we arrived. Will stay there again if we ever have a large group. Love it!
My group of friends and I wanted a place to stay in Vegas for Labor Weekend that would be able to accommodate the 10 of us comfortably instead of renting multiple, expensive rooms on the strip. This home was pretty affordable, especially for a holiday weekend, had plenty of comfortable sleeping space, and was a nice getaway from the hectic strip traffic. It is about a 10-15 min drive to the strip, depending on whether you hop back to the freeway or take las vegas boulevard all the way down. However, if you plan on heading to the strip at night time for an event, show, or simply a destined time during the busy hours or busy holidays, give yourself a lot of extra time. (It took us about 30 min with the holiday traffic)
The home itself was lovely. Loved the master bedroom and bathroom! (The closet was practically a small guest room for the twin pull out) This house pretty much had everything you would need from the kitchen to the entertainment, such as the poker table and pool table. The only thing I would advise is if you plan on cooking anything, bring a small container of cooking oil unless you like using spray-on butter for oil.
The owner, Ash, was very kind and helpful. He was pretty prompt with replying to anything we needed and we came across no problems working with him. I'd definitely look into renting this location again if we have another big group trip.
The house was as advertised. The pictures tell the story well. We really enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable there. I would stay here again without a doubt. The location was perfect in relation to the strip. Easy to get around and shopping was close by. The hot tub was great for relaxing. Recommended for all.
This home was as expected. The pictures represented the property very well. We had a great time while we were there and felt very comfortable at the house. Our sons that were with us enjoyed the spa and the pool table. As parents, staying off of the strip with young men was important to us and this made our trip to Vegas a bit more relaxing.
What a great time. The house wonderful. The owner was very accommodating. I would be happy to stay here again. It was close enough to the stip, yet far enough away to make it seem like a beautiful gettaway.
This was our first time to rent a vacation house. Ash was very patient with all my questions and concerns. We met our family there, we all had a wonderful time, and want to do it again next year. The house was great as the pictures reflect, it is in a nice neighbohood and minutes to the strip or shopping. Thanks Ash for making our first experience a great one. Diane

Chapter 5 Review Questions 1. Under what circumstance might you use a simple bus topology? Answer: C. When you have few users on a LAN 2. What kind of topology is susceptible to signal bounce? Answer: B. Bus 3. What are the primary advantages of using a star topology over a ring or bus topology? Answer: A star topology is more reliable, because it connects each node or device to the network with a separate connection. It is also more scalable, because additional devices can be added cheaply and without impacting the performance of the network. 4. Most modern networks with more than a few nodes use a hybrid topology. True or False? Answer: True 5. Why might you want to use a hierarchical topology? Answer: A. To differentiate levels of connectivity devices and workstation groups. 6. What logical topology, or network transport model, relies most often on a star-wired bus topology? Answer: A. Ethernet 79 7. How do workstations in a ring topology negotiate their data transmissions? Answer: D. by using tokens 8. Which of the following is a potential problem with daisy-chaining hubs? Answer: A. exceeding maximum segment length 9. What type of network backbone is the most reliable? Answer: C. Parallel 10. The Internet is an example of what kind of WAN topology? Answer: C. Mesh 11. Why is packet switching more efficient than circuit switching? Answer: B. In packet switching packets can take the quickest route between nodes and arrive independent of when other packets in their data stream arrive. 12. Describe the steps a workstation takes when it participates in CSMA/CD. Answer: A node checks the network to determine whether another node is transmitting. If it is, it will wait a specified amount of time before it retries. If two nodes have detected a free circuit and begun to transmit simultaneously, a collision will occur. In this event the Collision Detection routine is performed. If a station's NIC determines that its data has been involved in a collision, it will propagate the collision throughout the network so no other stations attempt to transmit, then the station will remain silent for a period of time. After waiting, the node will retransmit its data once it again determines that the line is available. 13. On a 100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) network, what is the maximum number of hubs that can be connected along the bus of a star-wired bus topology? Answer: B. 3 14. What is the maximum number of addressable stations on a 10BaseT Ethernet network? Answer: E. 1024 15. Which two of the following might cause excessive data collisions on an Ethernet network? Answer: B and E. 16. What type of media is best suited to 1 Gigabit Ethernet networks? Answer: A. fiber-optic 17. In order to use demand priority on a network (for example, when running 100BaseVG), what type of hub is necessary? Answer: D. intelligent 18. What fields do all Ethernet frame types have in common? Answer: preamble, source address, destination address, padding, data, and frame check sequence 80 19. At what layer of the OSI Model does framing occur? Answer: B. Data Link layer 81 20. What is the purpose of the pad field in an Ethernet frame? Answer: E. to ensure that the data portion of the frame totals at least 46 bytes 21. What is the purpose of a Frame Check Sequence field in an Ethernet frame? Answer: A. To ensure that data is received without errors at the destination node. 22. NIC device drivers come with what feature that reduces the need for you to worry about frame types? Answer: C. autosense 23. What are the minimum and maximum sizes for an Ethernet frame? Answer: C. 64 and 1518 Bytes 24. What type of TCP/IP protocol does LocalTalk use? Answer: B. MacTCP 25. What is the name of a hub used on a Token Ring network? Answer: A. Multistation Access Unit 26. Which two of the following are disadvantages to using Token Ring networks rather than Ethernet networks? Answer: B and C. 27. Modern token ring networks may transmit data at 4, 16, 32 or 64 Mbps. True or False? Answer: False. 28. If you were working on a Token Ring network that used cables with DB-9 connectors and needed to connect a NIC that contained an RJ-45 receptor, which of the following would help you accomplish your goal? Answer: D. media filter 29. Which of the following IEEE standards describes Token Ring networks? Answer: D. IEEE 802.5 30. Which of the following logical topologies is capable of the fastest throughput? Answer: E. ATM 31. What type of Physical layer is required for FDDI? Answer: B. a dual ring of single mode or multimode fiber 32. Besides their ring-based topologies, what else do FDDI and Token Ring networks have in common? Answer: C. Both use token passing to mediate data transmission. 33. You have been asked to serve on a technical committee planning an upgrade from your university's FDDI network to a Gigabit Ethernet network. The rest of the committee 82 asserts this will be a relatively simple transition. What concern should you raise that contradicts their assertion? Answer: B. The maximum allowable distance for a FDDI network is longer than that of an Ethernet network, so the existing FDDI network will need to be divided into smaller subnetworks. 34. What type of switching do ATM networks use? Answer: A. circuit switching 35. Which two of the following might explain why network administrators prefer Gigabit Ethernet over ATM? Answer: A and B. 83 Chapter 6 Review Questions 1. If you purchase a new desktop computer today, what kind of network adapter is it likely to require? Answer: A. 2. What does "ISA" stand for? Answer: B. ISA stands for Industry Standard Architecture. It is still used for modems and mice on some computers, and can be used for network adapters. 3. Describe the process for installing a PCMCIA network adapter. Answer: Installing PCMCIA cards is an easy process. Simply turn off the laptop, insert the PCMCIA card into an available PCMCIA slot, then turn the machine back on. In newer operating systems, you may not even have to reboot the machine, but rather you can simply insert the PCMCIA NIC. 84 4. In which of the following instances is a wireless network adapter most appropriate? Answer: C. 5. You have just chosen a new NIC on your desktop computer, which runs Windows 2000 Professional. When you reboot the machine, you can tell that neither the sound card nor the NIC is working. You suspect that they have chosen the same IRQ. How can you confirm your suspicion? Answer: A. 6. Which two of the following IRQs could you probably assign to a network adapter without causing a conflict with preassigned devices? Answer: C and D. See the IRQ table in this chapter. 7. Which IRQ is typically reserved by COM 1? Answer: B. 8. You can install only one network adapter in a computer. True or False? Answer: False. In fact, most servers have at least two NICs installed. 9. On older NICs, what type of switches enables you to change the adapter's configuration? Answer: B. 10. Which of the following could be a symptom of a resource conflict involving the network adapter? Answer: C. 11. Which of the following methods could allow you to change the rate at which a NIC can transmit and receive data? Answer: D and E. 12. Name three enhancements or features that manufacturers might add to network adapters to improve these devices performance. Answer: Any of the following may be enhancements to a NIC: On-board CPU, DMA, dual channel, load balancing, "Look ahead" transmit and receive, RAM buffering 13. To which layer of the OSI Model do repeaters belong? Answer: A. 14. What is the function of a hub's uplink port? Answer: C. 15. You are a network technician working on a 10BaseT network. A coworker has been having trouble logging on to the server and asks whether you can quickly tell her if her workstation's NIC is operating properly. You do not have the NIC's utility disk on hand, but you look at the back of her workstation and learn that although the NIC is properly installed and connected to the network, something's wrong with it. What might you have seen that causes you to come to this conclusion? Answer: D. 16. Intelligent hubs differ from passive hubs in part because they can perform which of the following functions? Answer: E. Passive hubs simply repeat signals while intelligent hubs can collect data and make some rudimentary networking decisions. 17. What kind of hub introduces a single point of failure into a network design? Answer: A. 18. What is a MIB? Answer: A. 85 19. At what layer of the OSI Model do bridges function? Answer: B. 20. Before they will forward packets, bridges must be configured to accept the type of protocol (for example, TCP/IP or IPX/SPX) in use by the network. True or False? Answer: False. Bridges can forward any kind of packets, because they are protocol-independent. 21. How do bridges keep track of whether they should forward or filter packets? Answer: B. Bridges maintain a filtering database that identifies which packets can be filtered and which should be forwarded, based on their destination address. 22. Which of the following is an advantage of using switches rather than hubs? Answer: B. Switches separate a segment into dedicated channels and that makes data more secure and provides more bandwidth for congested areas. 23. In cut-through switching, what frame field does the switch never read? Answer: D. 24. Which type of switching is more appropriate for heavily trafficked networks? Answer: C. Since cut-through switching cannot adequately verify the integrity of every packet it forwards, it may forward errors. Under heavy traffic, this can cause serious congestion. Thus store and forward switches, which do verify the integrity of packets, are more suitable for heavily trafficked LANs. 25. A VLAN can be created using only one switch. True or False? Answer: True. 26. Which two of the following are important functions performed by a LAN? Answer: A and E. 27. How do routing protocols and routable protocols differ? Answer: C. A routing protocol is the means by which routers communicate with each other about network status. A routable protocol is a protocol that carries data from node to node and can be interpreted by a router. 28. OSPF is a more efficient routing protocol than RIP. True or False? Answer: True 29. A brouter contains characteristics of which of the two following devices? Answer: B and E. 30. Why can't routers forward packets as quickly as bridges can? Answer: A. Routers operate at Layer 3, which means they take the time to read protocol and logical addressing information. In addition, they store packets while they determine the best routing path. This adds time. Bridges, on the other hand, only read Layer 2 addressing information and can quickly forward packets. 31. Describe the difference between static and dynamic routing. Answer: The main difference between static and dynamic routing is that in static routing, routing tables are programmed by the network administrator to indicate the best path for nodes on the network and in dynamic routing, the router determines best paths as it works, saving that data dynamically in its routing table. 32. At which layers of the OSI Model do gateways function? Answer: E. 33. EIGRP is a routing protocol that was developed by which company? Answer: C. 86 34. Which of the following routing protocols is used on the Internet's backbone? Answer: D. 35. What is the function of an e-mail gateway? Answer: A. 87 Chapter 7 Review Questions 1. Name three networking scenarios that would require a WAN. Answer: Each of the following scenarios demonstrates a need for a WAN: A bank with offices around the state needs to connect those offices to gather transaction and account information into a central database An insurance company allows parents on maternity or paternity leave to work from home by dialing into the company's network An automobile manufacturer in Detroit contracts its plastic parts manufacturing to a company in Delaware. Through WAN links the auto manufacturer can videoconference with the plastics manufacturer, exchange specification data, and even examine the parts for quality online; A pharmaceutical company's salespeople scattered across the nation need to dial in their sales figures and receive e-mail from headquarters A technical support technician for the remote pharmaceutical sales person may need to show the salesperson how to create a macro in an Excel spreadsheet A remote control program such as PCAnywhere enables the support technician to "take over" the salesperson's PC (over a WAN link) and demonstrate how to create the macro. 2. What kind of public links do most telecommuters use for dial-up connections? Answer: C. 3. What is the maximum throughput of a BRI ISDN line? Answer: B. 4. What is the purpose of an ISDN's D channel?

How many 64-Kbps channels does a single T1 circuit carry? Answer: D. 15. Why are SONET networks considered "self-healing"? Answer: SONET networks are made of two rings, a primary and secondary ring. If the primary ring is severed, the technology automatically reroutes traffic to the backup ring. In this sense, the rings are self-healing. 16. Which of the following is a drawback of cable modem technology, compared to DSL? Answer: C. 17. What is the maximum throughput supported by X.25 technology? Answer: E. 18. What do frame relay and ATM connections have in common? Answer: C. Frame relay and ATM circuits both rely on virtual circuits.

Well this is getting ridiculous… First we had drawing-pins, then scotch tape, and then even more scotch tape. And now? A giant post-it note in Thailand.

Well this is getting ridiculous… First we had drawing-pins, then scotch tape, and then even more scotch tape. And now? A giant post-it note in Thailand.
Whoever built this earth clearly wasn't a great designer. I mean tape and thumb tacks.. but now they leave a post-it note!! Jeez…
I'm terribley sorry! Oh this is embarrassing. I know it will only sound like I am making excuses, but you have no idea how difficult it can be finding competent help these days…
wot u on about Slartibartfast?
Slartibarfast is the planetary designer from Hichhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
It's also on Google Earth, has some strange markings on it (two rows of evenly spaced tick marks) and casts a shadow. Could this be some kind of metal roof? A chicken farm, perhaps?
I do enjoy the fjords of Norway however.
I see four rows of evenly spaced tick marks on Google Earth. I would agree that this is not a post-it (even though it is just the right color and shape).
And the placement of it also indicates it's a roof of some kind. It's perfectly in line with the properly sized yard in front of it. A farm of some type is certainly a good possibility. . .
As for fjords, as long as they don't put them on the coast of africa they're beautiful!
I cant find a link for the drawing pins… someone help me out?
In the title, it is there.
There's some more scotch tape just south of Easter Island:
Could it be possible they're hiding something? It still look like a Post-it, even on Google Earth!
Just a thought…
Great Staple of India Found:

what about this : View Placemark / Google Earth
Here at Google Sightseeing we love a chance to create a post about the scenic wonders of Norway1. Today we…
Google Street View may be ever-expanding in its reach, but it's still a long way from covering the entire world. There are numerous services that not only offer their own street-level imagery but have beaten Google to the punch in numerous cities around the globe. That got us wondering just what we're missing from other sites over here at Google Sightseeing, so join us as we take a two-part tour of street-level imagery in places Street View hasn't reached yet!
Known as site of one of the most pivotal naval battles in history, today Midway Atoll strikes an odd balance between its military past and its tropical paradise locale. It's also one of the most remote places ever visited by Google Street View.

Flowering zucchini companion climber?
thursdayMarch 3, 2009
I have an antique ornamental structure that I think was intended to be a tomato cage, but I find it impractical for that purpose, so I decided to use it to dress up the garden. I have a row of zucchinis and a row of crooknecks with a space in between intended for a companion--but I have so many nasturtiums, marigolds, etc. that I'd rather just do something pretty that won't hurt, rather than worry about extra help. The cage is only about 3 ft. tall, but I'd like something to climb and wrap around it to give a nice spot of bright color. Suggestions? Is passion flower friendly with zucchini? I had thought of that with our hot, dry climate (Southern California). Thanks!

I love you Petersiks!
hee hee
-gina —> yes I am crazy gina on facebook!
As always, thanks for the WHADDUP. :)
YES! Jonathan Adler!
Happy weekend :-)
Hey guys – just wanted to let you know that I just tried to use YHL10 on 1canoe2 and it said the code was expired! It's always possible that I messed something up but just wanted to give you a heads up!
I tried to use the discount code at One Canoe Two but it said it is expired. :(
Love how you guys still post **Psst- We know most Fridays we just post once** When you post twice almost EVERY FRIDAY.
PS. It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Fridaaayyy….oh sorry was that out loud? You're welcome!
Went to use the one canoe two discount code and it says it is expired….boo. :o(
The One Canoe Two code says it's expired – just a heads-up!
Love the prints from 1canoe2!! I just checked out and it says that your promo code is expired though. Just FYI.
Thanks ya'll for all you do :)
I just tried the promotional code "YHL10″ on One Canoe Two and it didn't work. :'( Is it still valid?
Just a heads up: I tried to place an order from 1 Canoe 2 (love those state letterpress prints!) but it says the promo code is expired. :(
I could not possibly love those 1 Canoe 2 prints any more! I'm trying to buy one for each of the 4 states we've lived in, but it's saying the discount code is expired! Any ideas?
LOVE your round ups, you guys have the best sponsors!
It's working now!
Love the octopus pillow – so cute!
Ooooh, you got me with the Royal Design Studio wall stencil. Just ordered a french bee stencil – thanks for the discount code. There's nothing I like better than bees in the house.
I have a question totally unrelated to this post, but hoping you will see it soon and let me know what you think. My husband and I are planning on painting the exterior of our house this weekend. We were planning on gray with blue trim. However, we have a separate garage and several out buildings that are currently the same color as our house (ugh-nasty yellow with bright red trim!). Anyway-my husband was worried about too much gray and everything looking dreary and flat. What do you guys think?
The discount code at 1Canoe2 says it's expired…?
The 1Canoe2 code works now! Thanks so much for being awesome all the time!
Hi guys…just as an FYI
I tried to make a purchase from 1 canoe 2 and it says the code YHL10 has expired
I just bought the state prints from one canoe two for all three states I've lived in- RI, DE and now VA. So cute!
I tried to use the promo code for 10% off but it said that it was expired :(
The One Canoe Two promo code said it is expired! Sad! I want to order a print!
Jonathan Adler is my favorite human being and I am dying in anticipation. I am so excited that I want to rush the weekend and get to Monday, which is extremely out of character.

Teens fleeing crime scene crash car, end up in hospital
Two male teenagers suspected in a Glendale home invasion are in the hospital Monday after crashing a car during a brief police chase.
The 16-year-olds had broken into a home near Northern Avenue and 47th Drive.
Police had been called by neighbors.
"We saw a vehicle leaving an apartment complex with its lights off," said Glendale Police Sgt. Brent Coomb. "And, one of the officers decided to follow it just in case it was connected to the home invasion we were responding to -- and it was."
The teens are suspected of stealing several items.
Three adults inside the home were unharmed.
