Why We Love the Spanish
Sangria, running of the bulls, Picasso, churros and Penelope Cruz are a few reason why we love the Spanish. We pay homage to Spain in this fun slideshow.
idea_ss_why-we-love-the-spanish_22_596x334It's the fast and furious! Motorsports have become very popular in Spain. The country has hosted 3 Grand Prix motorcycle races. Race-car driving also gained 1,000s of new fans after Fernando Alonso Diaz won the Formula One World Driver's Championship 2 years in a row. 960 1280
idea_ss_why-we-love-the-spanish_5_596x334Spanish-Mexican tenor Placido Domingo is just one of several talented voices that inspire us to sing -- even if it's in the shower. And we can't forget about other famous singers like Jose Carreras, Julio Iglesias, and for the young pop music fans, Enrique Iglesias. 960 1280
idea_ss_why-we-love-the-spanish_9_596x334We appreciate Pablo Picasso's artwork, as well as other Spanish artists including Salvador Dali, El Greco and Francisco de Goya. And travelers from around the world head to Spain to experience these museums: the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo del Prado in Madrid, and the Dali Museum in Figueres. 960 1280

In addition to GI Bill, veterans of the US Armed Forces may be eligible for federal and state financial assistance (grants, scholarships, loans and work study). To be eligible for these programs, veterans must file a FAFSA.
VA benefits impact student eligibility for financial aid depending on the student's chapter of eligibility. Student eligibility will be evaluated on a case by case basis and the financial aid award will be adjusted accordingly.

Kerry: Plane crash scene in Ukraine 'really grotesque'
Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday the management of the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 is "grotesque."
"What's happening is really grotesque. And it is contrary to everything that President [Vladimir] Putin and Russia said that they would do," Kerry said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"There are reports of drunken separatist soldiers unceremoniously piling bodies into trucks, removing both bodies, as well as evidence, from the site, " Kerry said.
"The separatists are in control. And it is clear that Russia supports the separatists, supplies the separatists, encourages the separatists, trains the separatists. And Russia needs to step up and make a difference here," Kerry said.

SALEM Emergency officials have set up shelters for residents displaced by the Aumsville tornado and a command center for emergency responders.
Emergency shelters were opened at the Bethel Baptist Church at 645 Cleveland Street, the Mountain View Wesleyan Church at 111 Main Street, and the Aumsville Community Center at 555 Main Street.
The tornado touched down at the south end of the city in Marion County, traveled northwest and lifted up near Highway 22. Multiple buildings were hit, with the most damage reported near the areas of Main and 6th Streets in Aumsville.
Officials said in addition to damage to homes and businesses, many trees and power lines were down in the area. Gas and power officials were on scene along with crews from Aumsville Public Works.
The incident command center was set up with representatives from Marion County Emergency Management, Aumsville Fire Department, Sublimity Fire Department, Stayton Fire Department, Aumsville Police Department, Stayton Police Department, Marion County Sheriff's Office, and the Crisis Chaplaincy Service on scene.
In addition, volunteers were asked to report to the Bethel Baptist Church, where a public information office was also set up.

Varieties like 'Timperley Early' will provide a crop of sweet red stems by March when grown in the garden. But it's also possible to force rhubarb into premature growth by using a terracotta pot or upturned dustbin to create dark, warm conditions. This produces soft, champagne-pink stems up to six weeks earlier and they are delicious.
There are lots of varieties of rhubarb but the following list of readily available ones includes some old favourites and some newer ones. Bear in mind that the colour of the stems changes due to growing conditions. The north of England has the perfect climate - with cooler summers and harder winters - and this makes for redder stems.
'Timperley Early' (early) AGM
So early it's probably better not to force it. The slender, long pink-red stems have a tart flavour that makes it an excellent crumble filler. Not a prolific cropper - but a must for all rhubarb lovers. Bred by H. Marshland in 1945 (widely available).
'Grandad's Favourite' (mid-season) AGM
Grown and named by Alan Bloom, who always breakfasted on rhubarb and managed to live to 98, this handsome variety (often exhibited on the show bench) also produces a heavy crop of brightly coloured stems with a full flavour (from R. V. Rogers).
'Fulton's Strawberry Surprise' AGM (mid-season to late)
Voted the best flavoured rhubarb in the RHS Wisley trials of 2003. Vivid red stems on a variety that is not too vigorous (exclusively from Thompson & Morgan).
'Raspberry Red' (mid to late-season)
An old Dutch Variety recently reintroduced with sweet red stems. Heavy cropper, for a sunny, open position (from Pennard Plants).
'Queen Victoria' (mid-season to late)
Colourful, strong red stems, easy and prolific. This heritage variety still holds its own today. Vigorous, makes huge clumps, so perhaps not for smaller gardens. Introduced in 1837 by Joseph Myatt. There is also a 'Prince Albert' (1840). ('Queen Victoria' is widely available. Pennard Plants stock 'Prince Albert').
'Hawke's Champagne' AGM (early to mid)
Delicately thin, long, scarlet stems with a sweet flavour from early Spring. An old variety, but easy to grow and ideal for forcing. Attractive to look at (available from Brandy Carr and Pennard Plants).
'Stockbridge Arrow' (late)
Heavy cropper producing suffused-red stems (that are extremely tender) by May. The best of the newer varieties and grown heavily for forcing in Yorkshire (Marshalls).

You have a great overview of rhubarb! Growing them could be tricky sometimes. I've been growing my own rhubarb for a year now and i'm using conventional way. I just found out that we can also use other method in growing rhubarb such as through the use of hydroponics.

Drillinginfo Releases Mid-Term Report Card Highlighting Best of Class Operators in the Barnett Shale
"This is an interesting development in the
These findings are part of an update of Drillinginfo's
"From a non-normalized point of view, EOG comes in with a 100% rating, which correlates to the relative amount of hydrocarbon produced per well," added Hovey. In comparison, Chesapeake is second with a 98% rating. However, Chesapeake's acreage position is predominately graded to have much higher production potential acreage than EOG's according to Drillinginfo's GPA(TM) scoring methodology.
"We use the analogy that EOG gets a little more soda from a 12 ounce can as the others get from a 16 ounce can," said Hovey. "When you normalize for acreage grade, looking at current best practices and removing geologic variability, EOG's 100% rating increases over its second place rivals by 15% or more. What many people miss in these types of plays is that operations matter, and they matter in a big way. A good operator can produce up to 5 times as much hydrocarbon from given acreage as a bad operator," according to Hovey.
"XTO and Quicksilver are the best operators in high GPA acreage, with 100% ratings in our top two acreage grades, while EOG and Chesapeake excel in the mid grade acreages. Although they haven't drilled enough wells to be ranked as yet, Burnett Oil and Endeavor are showing spectacular results right now. They appear to have figured something out."
To see a ranking of top 3 operators by grade, go to www.info.drillinginfo.com/FWBReportCard.

Try everything and have faith
Since the drummer plays such a foundational role, it relieves some of the pressure to focus on one type of music, allowing drummers to play across the spectrum of styles and sounds. Aside from rock, folk, country, and punk, Bates and Poretti are noted for their free-jazz improvisations. In order to challenge himself, Hanson has made a venture into jazz territory with his new band, Biological Father, which he said was a necessary respite from falling into a pattern of playing songs the same way, especially during a prolonged tour. With his intense focus while playing, like a chemist mixing solutions, Hanson says that his focus is "to listen to whatever group I'm in and feel that instead of bring something that I've already learned."
There is also a Rube Goldberg quality to drummers: There are infinite configurations of the drums themselves, and drummers are willing to use anything to get the sound they want—chains, bells, saucepans, trashcans, tin cans, paper cups. Poretti offers, by way of example, "If you were to make a guitar out of a car door and one string, that's a big thing to put on the table, but with percussion, it's not so distracting, you can add to other people's sounds." A part of his regular kit is a pot he had used for soup until it fell out of a cupboard and rang with a unique resonance. The possibilities are endless.
And that's the gleam in Bates's eye. "That's my insanity," he says. "It's all sounds to me. It's infinite. If you really think about it, how many different ways can you hit this thing? It's like a leap of blind faith—I don't know if anyone else hears this differently but I do, so I guess that's what I have to give to the world."

We've all probably been there before. You finish a relaxing round of golf, head to the bar to throw back a few afterwards and start feeling pretty good. Maybe there's a cute blonde server working in the clubhouse who, for one reason or another, is known to have some martial arts skills.
In a buffoon way, you try to impress the girl by showing her you're amazed with her kicking prowess. So maybe in a bit of buzzed bad decision making you say, 'hey, let's see you kick my visor off.'
You probably don't think it'll end badly, but this guy learned the hard way that it does. To be fair, she does get the visor off.

St. Francis of Assisi students help raise awareness of hunger in west Tennessee
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School celebrated National Catholic Schools Week by teaming up with Catholic Charities of West Tennessee and CANstruction, a nonprofit organization that promotes building structures made entirely of canned food.
The exhibit was unveiled during an open house, raising awareness while making an impact for feeding the hungry of West Tennessee.
Every student brought in canned goods to create five CANstruction sculptures. Principal Beth York said of the project, "With CANstruction, we learn that one can of food is a catalyst for change. Every act of kindness makes a difference. This was a great way to teach the children about giving to those in need." At the end of the evening, more than 10,000 cans were donated to Catholic Charities.
The snake, created by pre-K through fourth graders represents "We can take a bite out of hunger."
Fifth graders created a book with the theme "Hunger is no game."
"Many arms can fight hunger" was represented by the sixth-grade's octopus swimming in a sea of mac and cheese.
Seventh graders banded together to make a replica of Emerald City, including a yellow brick road, depicting "We're off to feed the hungry."
Eighth-graders created a crayon box representing "Hunger knows no color boundaries."
The sculpture display was viewed by more than 800 parents, students and friends of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School.
Tina Sosnowski is director of communications for St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School.

EPA Threat Seen Aiding Cap-And-Trade Legislation
Representative Edward Markey said Monday that the threat of tighter regulation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should subdue industry opposition to a cap-and-trade market on greenhouse gas emissions.
Markey (D-MA), who serves as chair of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, is co-sponsor of a bill that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked with global climate change. He said the agency's authority to act should entice industrial lobbyists to work with Congress on the matter.
"Now you have a choice … Do you want the EPA to make the decision or would you like your congressman or senator to be in the room and drafting legislation? So we think this is a very helpful development that focuses the mind," a Reuters report quoted Markey as saying during a meeting on clean energy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
Markey and Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, introduced a bill in March that would reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 20 percent through 2020.
The Waxman-Markey bill seeks to achieve the target through a "cap-and-trade" system that would limit the amount of CO2 industrial users and power plants could emit. Those who cut emissions below their allotments would be permitted to sell their unused credits.
In 2007 the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA would have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, if it found that human health could be endangered by global warming pollution. And last month, the EPA found that greenhouse gases do indeed present a risk to human health.
But Carol Browner, an advisor to president Obama on energy and climate change, said the administration prefers that Congress handle the issue.
"It is the strong preference of the administration that we secure legislation," Browner said at the forum, according to a Reuters report.
"There are things that can be done with legislation that won't quite work within the existing law."
For example, Congress can take a more comprehensive view in creating any new legislation, including consideration of the economic impact of its actions on businesses and consumers.
"If Congress doesn't act, then clearly there is a residual authority now granted by the Supreme Court of the United States to the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases," Markey said.
"The only way to avoid that is to have Congress act."
That should persuade businesses not to resist the proposed legislation, about which Markey plans to start committee hearings next week.
"It becomes a real factor," Markey said.
"Industries across the country will just have to gauge for themselves how lucky they feel if they kill legislation in terms of how the EPA process will include them."

A communication apparatus for high-speed data transmission over power line networks comprises a head-end unit which provides a single logical entry point into the communication network, an infrastructure of physical power line cables, one or more client-end units which communicate with the head-end unit, and one or more hybrid units which simultaneously acts as a head-end unit for another physical sub-network of the power line communication network and functions as a client-end unit of another physical sub-network of the power line communication network.
1. A communication apparatus for high-speed data transmission over power line networks comprises:
a head-end unit which provides a single logical entry point into the communication network;
an infrastructure of physical power line cables;
one or more client-end units which communicate with the head-end unit;
one or more hybrid units which simultaneously:
acts as a head-end unit for another physical sub-network of the power line communication network, and
functions as a client-end unit of another physical sub-network of the power line communication network;
2. All physical devices on the power line network are assigned a globally unique hardware address.
3. The logical full-duplex communication channel between the head-end and client-end units is comprised of:
a logical half-duplex downstream communication channel, in which the modulator frequency of the head-end unit's transmitter is matched by the demodulator frequency of the every client-end unit associated with the head-end unit on the same physical power line sub-network, and a logical half-duplex upstream communication channel, in which the modulator frequency of each client-end unit is matched with the demodulator frequency of the head-end unit;
4. The downstream and upstream frequency channels are mutually exclusive.
5. The bandwidth of the downstream communication channel may be identical or different from the bandwidth of the upstream communication channel;
6. The bandwidth between the head-end unit and client-end units with matching frequency pairs is defined by the sum of:
the bandwidth of the frequency band of the downstream channel, plus
the bandwidth of the frequency band of the upstream channel;
7. To increase the total capacity of the power line network, multiple frequency pairs may be overlaid on the same transmission medium, such that:
all downstream frequency bands are mutually exclusive and non-interfering,
all upstream frequency bands are mutually exclusive and non-interfering,
all full-duplex communication frequency bands are mutually exclusive and non-interfering.
8. The bandwidth of each half-duplex communication channel between the head-end unit and one or more client-end units is divided into one or more transmission time slots, such that:
all time slots are assigned equal bandwidth,
all time slots are sequentially numbered starting from 0,
the bandwidth of each time slot defines the maximum data size and burst rate any node can transmit at any given time.
9. The total bandwidth of each half-duplex communication channel is defined as the product of the bandwidth of each time slot and the total number of time slots.
10. A device on any given physical sub-network of the power line communication network may transmit data only if:
its carrier sensing sub-system positively detected a valid carrier (head-end units are excluded from this restriction), and
its time allocation resource map permits data transmission at the given time slot.
11. The head-end unit broadcasts all downstream data to all client-end units on the same logical sub-network.
12. The head-end unit in this communication apparatus defined in
may transmit data at any given time slot,
is responsible for generating the resource allocation maps for each registered client-end unit,
is responsible for registering new client-end units,
is responsible for detecting inactive and extracted client-end units.
13. Client-end units perform frame selection/discard locally, in parallel, based on the following algorithm:
each client-end unit must examine the destination hardware address of the data frame received from the head-unit, and
if the destination hardware address matches with its own hardware address, the frame is scheduled for processing,
otherwise the frame is discarded.
14. A client-end unit may transmit data if, and only if:
it has received its time slot allocation map from the head-end unit, and
its time slot allocation map permits data transmission at the given time.
15. Time slots on the upstream channel are assigned to be mutually exclusive for all client-end units. This guarantees that the upstream traffic is collision free.
16. One or more time slots are reserved to allow new devices (which have not been assigned any resources) to send registration information to the head-unit.
17. The medium access control sub-system for the communication apparatus in
new client-end devices to be inserted into the active network must:
passively monitor the resource allocation and time slot configuration periodically broadcasted by the head-end unit, and
if the received configuration contains a valid time slot allocation for the given client-end device, this information must be applied immediately, and the client-end device may begin to transmit upstream data at the allowed time slots;
otherwise, if after a configurable timeout period, the client device does not receive any configuration containing a valid time slot allocation for the given client-end device, the client-end device may send a registration request over the reserved time slot in
devices that are to be extracted from the power line communication network may:
send an explicit un-registration request to the head-end unit over any time slot currently assigned to the client-end device, or
terminate communication without sending an explicit un-registration request to the head-end unit.
all active client-end devices on the power line communication network must:
continuously monitor downstream traffic for time slot allocation updates from the head-end unit, and
incorporate any configuration change immediately after reception.
any active client-end device on the power line communication network must:
continuously monitor downstream traffic for explicit termination messages from the head-end unit, and
discontinue all transmission and enter its initialization phase immediately after reception or this message.
18. Time slot resources may be assigned either:
a prescription based allocation scheme, where:
the amount of bandwidth allocated to an individual client-end unit is based on a pre-defined subscription rate, plus
any unused resources not subscribed to may be temporarily allocated to active subscribers with the following constraints:
the additional bandwidth may be revoked at any time, without notice by the head-end unit,
the total allowable throughput of the client-end device may not exceed the sum of the subscribed and temporary allocated bandwidth.
an evenly distributed bandwidth allocation scheme, where:

time allocation resources are dynamically assigned,
a dynamically assigned un-even resource allocation scheme, where:
every client-end device receives a time slot allocation based on a pre-set resource allocation algorithms,
time allocation resources are dynamically assigned,
19. The protocol frame format is designed to allow virtually any type of payload to be carried across the power line communication network.
20. The protocol frame format is composed of (but not limited to) the following required fields:
a length field, which identifies the number of octets in the payload of the frame,
a media selector field, which identifies the type of payload,
a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) field, which contains the CRC value calculated over the reaming portion of the frame,
an arbitrary sequence of data, which represents the payload of the frame.

The present invention relates generally to power line communication networks, and more particularly the protocols used for enabling and transmitting various media types and digital data at very high speeds over electrical power lines.
Typically, the power line communication network is composed of two components. The first component is the Wide-Area Power Line Network (WPLN), which is the communication infrastructure that provides transmission of data between the utility substations and the customer premise equipment typically located at, or near by, the electronic power meter. The second component of the power line communication network is the Local Area Power Line Network (LPLN), which is the communication infrastructure located at the customer premise.
All components of the power line communication network provide a bi-directional communication channel. Each channel is a point-to-point link composed of a modulator/demodulator pair (MODEM), which initiates the transmission, a physical medium which transmits the high frequency signal, and a terminating modem which receives the signal. To implement a full duplex channel, each modem may act as a transmitter and a receiver simultaneously.
In a typical configuration, the customer premise equipment includes a device that composed of a modem-pair. This device operates as a client modem of the WPLN communicates with the upstream modem located at the utility substation, as well as a head-unit for communicating with all the end-user equipment located at the customer premise. In essence, this device provides a single point of entry into the customer premise LPLN.
In addition of the physical infrastructure, the power line communication network must provide a resource allocation scheme that defines the policies and procedures for inserting and removing devices into and from the network. These resource allocation schemes are typically based on different policies on the WPLN and the LPLN.
Briefly stated, in a first embodiment, the present invention defines the communication infrastructure and protocols that enable high-speed data communication over power line networks. The physical communication infrastructure comprises:
In the second embodiment, the present invention defines the protocols used to establish logical communication between the physical elements defined in the first embodiment:
The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, will be better understood when read in conjunctions with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there are shown in the drawings embodiments that are presently preferred. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and instrumentalities shown. In the drawings, like numerals are used to indicate like elements throughout. In the drawings:
The present invention describes both the physical and logical characteristics of power line communication network, related to high-speed digital data transmission systems.
The physical transmission medium is composed of three basic parts: a transmitter unit 4 that sends modulated digital data across various power lines, the power line grid 2 itself, which provides the transmission medium, and a receiver 7 that demodulates the signal sent by the transmitter. Although the electrical power grid is typically viewed as a shared bus medium, for the purpose of this invention, based on the nature of the transmission and reception rules, the power line communication network is viewed as a point-to-multipoint architecture. At the center of the architecture is the head-end unit 1, which is responsible—among many other things—to supervise the medium access control for the entire sub-network. The head-end unit consists of a pair of transmitter 4 and receiver 5 modules, tuned to different frequency bands, such that the two bands do not overlap, nor they interfere with on another.
In addition to the head-end unit, there is one or more client end units 3 attached to the electrical power line network. Although similar in hardware design, the client-end units act as slave devices to the head-end unit. The client-end units consist of a pair of transmitter 6 and receiver 7 modules, tuned to different frequency bands, such that the two bands do not overlap, nor they interfere with on another.
From a network topology point of view, there is a logical full duplex communication channel between every client-end units and the head-end unit of the PLC network. This logical bi-directional communication path is actually composed by two half-duplex channels, one from the head-end unit to each client-end unit (downstream path) 8, and another from the client-end units to the head-unit (upstream path) 9. These half duplex channels are implemented by tuning the client-end units' receiver module's 7 frequency to the transmit frequency of the head-end unit. Similarly, the head-end unit's receiver module 5 is tuned to the exact same frequency as the transmitter module 6 of the client-end units.
This dual unidirectional configuration has three advantages. First, the total allowable bandwidth in both the downstream and upstream directions are mutually exclusive, unlike typical LAN and WAN environments where all the traffic share the same transmission medium. Therefore the actual total throughput of the PLC network is the sum of the downstream and the upstream communication channel's capacity. Second, given the physical configuration of the network, the downstream communication path is guaranteed to be collision free. This eliminates the need for complex collision detection algorithms. Third, and perhaps most importantly, this frequency division scheme allows multiple head-end units 1 to be placed on the same physical electrical power grid. However, it is important to observe that whereas these head-end units are physically connected to the same electrical grid, their transmit and receive frequency bands are mutually exclusive, therefore they are thought of as two separate sub-network, each with its own set of client-end units. More specifically, since each client-end unit 3 may be tuned to communicate with only one head-end unit 1, it is not possible to receive communication across these two (logically) separate networks. Nevertheless, this property provides virtually limitless bandwidth over the electrical power line grid. As long as the transmit and receive frequencies are mutually exclusive and non-interfering, there are no restrictions on the number of logical sub-networks which can be overlaid on the same physical power line grid.
Since on any given (logical) power line communication network there is only a single head-unit with a single transmitter module, the downstream path is guaranteed to be collision free. The upstream pipe 9, however, is composed of a single receiver 5 with multiple transmitter 6 modules, all tuned to the same transmit frequency. If not carefully synchronized, one client-end unit's transmission can collide with other transmissions by other client-end units. To avoid collision on the upstream direction, the total transmission bandwidth is divided into several smaller time slices 13. Each time slice has an equal transmit bandwidth and may be assigned to no more than one client-end unit at a time. Being assigned one or more time-slices permits the client-end units to transmit in the upstream direction. The allocation scheme by which client-end units are assigned their individual time slots varies based on the network environment. In WPLC network, time slot resources are typically assigned based on a pre-defined subscription rate. Since each time slot guarantees a minimum constant bit rate (CBR) service, time slot allocation of wide are networks are based on the amount of premium paid by each end user. In local area networks, where most of the devices are under the same administrative domain, unless they belong to a different class of service, bandwidth allocation is typically based on an "equal share" policy. In contrast to the subscription based policy, where time slot allocation is static, this scheme uses a dynamic allocation algorithm, in which resources are (re)calculated and (re)assigned each time a new device is inserted into the network, or an existing devices is deactivated.
Whereas the time slot based transmission scheme can provide collision free communication for all client-end devices 3 registered with the head-end unit 1, the insertion of new devices, which do not yet have resources allocated to them, pose a challenge because these devices have not received any time slot allocation, and therefore—by the rules of the protocol—are not allowed to transmit data. To facilitate new devices to register with the head-end unit, one ore more time slices may be reserved by the network explicitly for new device registration. It is worth noting here, that this time slot is not meant to be mutually exclusive, and therefore prone to occasional collisions, when one or more client-end devices send their registration information to the head-end unit at the same time. However, random timeout and backup algorithms can be used to minimize collisions among new client-end units.
The protocol for new device insertion is as follows:
It is worth noting here, that the head-end unit may elect to deny the registration request from the client-end unit. This is an implicit denial of service, as the head-end unit does not send an acknowledgement downstream to the requesting client-end device. It simply does not include a new allocation record in the table of broadcasted time slot allocations.
When a dynamic time slot allocation scheme is used, it is important for the head-end unit to detect when one or more client-end units have been deactivated, so the previously allocated time slot resources can be re-assigned to other, active, client-end units. The protocol logic for detecting inactive client-end units is as follows:
It is imperative to the correct operation of this scheme that all client-end devices use to most up-to-date time slot allocation scheme sent by the head-end unit. Every client-end device must be ready to receive and update its time allocation information based on the MAC supervisory packets broadcasted downstream from the head-end unit. The protocol for re-configuring the local time slot allocation information for each client-end unit is as follows:
The lowest unit of the digital transmission is a frame 70. The maximum frame size is defined by the bandwidth of each time slot allocated to every client-end unit. The frame is composed of:
The payload of each frame contains one or more packets 76. The packet format is defined as follows:
Typically, the packet payloads 80 contain a protocol specific header 81 and data 82.
The media descriptor field contains information about the type of protocol that was used at the UNI (user to network interface) to form the packet. This allows various forwarding hardware to provide a better quality of service based of the content type carried in the payload. For example, one of the pre-defined media descriptor value is used to indicate a MAC supervisory packet.
The advantage of using this format is that it allows the power line communication network to carry a virtually limitless set of media formats. These include, but not limited to, Internet Protocol (IP) data, automatic meter reading (AMR) information, digitized voice and phone services, digital television signal, digital video and surveillance streams.
To support one or more of these media service types, the head-end unit located at the power line substation 50 is connected to a service provider's uplink. The type of the uplink and the protocol used solely depends on the service type being supported. For example, for IP networks, the substation would typically be equipped with a high-speed fiber data uplink 52, such as SONET or Gigabit-Ethernet. Similarly, to support digital phone and voice communication systems, the substation must include a digital interface to a PBX or SS7 switch 51.
The signal from these uplinks is transmitted over the power line grid 56 from the head-end unit to the client-end units located at each residential or commercial end-user's premises 55. It is worth noting here, that the signals are passed through 54 any transformer 53 located between the substation and the customer premise equipment (CPE) without regeneration. The CPE is actually a hybrid PLC network element 11, which functions as a client-end unit 3 toward the substation, and a head-end unit 1 for the local area network 57 inside of the customer premise.
The local area network at the customer premise consists of a single head-end unit 1, which is typically co-located with the power meter and an optional automatic meter reading (AMR) device 60, and one or more client-end units 3. The client-units contain media-based adapters which enable a large variety of hardware to communicate over the power line communication network. For example, the PLN network adapter 61 allows personal computers 62 (PCs) to be connected to the PLC network. Other adapters may include:
Changes can be made to the embodiments described above without departing from the broad inventive concept thereof. The present invention is thus not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but is intended to cover modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

"Basic, comfortable, Convenient location."
I would not consider it large, as advertised. Sky TV was difficult to start operation.
Bed comfortable , Wi-fi good,. heating and hot water O.K
To find only one dining chair was disappointing although where to put the second one would be a problem as I think a re-arrangement of the furniture is necessary.
The security deposit was returned via paypal after we had been home 10 days, but only after it had been requested by email. Had we known of the extensive renovation going on by contractors on the whole block of units we would have made other arrangements although it did not interfere very much. We had a comfortable stay & value for money is about right with a few small improvements.
Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it as it helps me to know how to make my guests stay more comfortable.
There are now 2 additional chairs in the room and Sky TV has also corrected the error with the signals so everything is working perfectly now.
Thanks again :)

"Very good value for money"
Very much enjoyed my 6 nights in the flat (in two 3 days separate periods). Equipped with all you need for a comfortable stay, suitable for family of 3, with young child. Short walk to the tower bridge (10 min) and underground stations, and less than 2 minutes from bus stop, that goes straight to the city center. Close to shops and supermarkets. The property owner, Ruth, very nice and always available. Overall, a very good experience, and one i recommend!
It was great hosting you and your family.

It's a very nice and cosy studio flat, near London Bridge (max 10min walking).
Very clean and comfortable with all amenities you need for your accomodation.
Great location with all facilities nearby.
Excellent price/value per night.
So, I do recommend this studio flat for those who want to visit or stay in London for a couple of days.
I'm glad you had a lovely stay. It would be great to host you again :)

On Getting married to Maryse: "I'm getting married in February, and I never pictured myself getting married to be quite honest with you," Miz said, "let alone enjoying the whole process of getting married. We were going over bits and pieces about the wedding, and I enjoy it. I like it. It's fun. We enjoy doing it together. It's not the hassle everyone makes it out to be. I think it's because the people we are dealing with are making it so easy for us."
On Wanting Kids: "We both want kids," he said. "I want a little Miz running around, even though I know he is going to be the most annoying kid in the world. If he is anything like his father, then my God! I'm definitely preparing for that, but who knows how long that will be."
On Doing More Movies: "There has definitely been talks, and my outlook on WWE is I'm still going to do as I always have. I'm going to work as hard as I can to entertain those audiences, whether it's on WWE or on a movie from WWE Studios."

More than 30 percent of guys in New York have faked an orgasm!
Johnny Come Lately? Try Johnny Come Not at All. Oscar-worthy performances of heavy breathing and moaning ain't just for the ladies.
Wed Jul 9 2014

It's a well-worn cliché that most women have pretended to get their rocks off at one time or another, whether to protect a partner's feelings or just get the hell on with things. (We don't have all day, people!) But what surprised us when we sent an intrepid reporter out into the streets to make New Yorkers uncomfortable (i.e. ask about their sex lives) is that guys pretend too. In fact, a whopping 30.6 percent of the men we polled for our Sex Survey fessed up to being penile prevaricators; see the results in full here.
Condoms certainly make it easier to disguise that magic moment (good job, you guys, with the condoms!); add a few rapid jerks of the torso and one awkwardly contorted O-face and blammo—a perfectly faked orgasm.
So next time you're patting yourself on the back for a job well done, take a minute to think: Was that an orgasm, or I Can't Believe It's Not Orgasm™? You may not be able to tell.

Nigerian Woman Spots Her Daughter In Boko Haram Video
Originally published on Tue May 13, 2014 12:04 pm
The video released by extremist group Boko Haram on Monday, showing more than 100 girls abducted from their school in Nigeria last month, included a girl whose mother has identified her, says a representative of the parents of the kidnapped girls.
Parent-teacher association chairman Dumoma Mpur tells Reuters, "The video got parents apprehensive again after watching it but the various steps taken by the governments and the coming of the foreign troops is boosting our spirit, even though I have not seen the any one soldier in Chibok yet."
Chibok is the northeastern Nigerian town where more than 200 girls were taken from the Government Girls Secondary School by gunmen. The girls' fate has been a cause of concern ever since; the first hint that the militants might be holding them in the same place came in the video released Monday. It shows the girls in an outdoor area, wearing full-length hijabs.
The statement from one of the students' mothers would seem to confirm the video is genuine, although there's no way to know if it was filmed recently, or shortly after the mass kidnapping.
The U.S. is working to help Nigeria find the abducted girls, in an effort that includes "flying manned surveillance missions over Nigeria," the BBC reports.
The AP says the U.S. team includes "nearly 30 people drawn from the State and Defense departments, as well as the FBI, including 10 Defense Department planners who were already in Nigeria and were redirected to assist the government."
In the video released Monday, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau doesn't appear in any images with the girls. But he says he's willing to trade the girls in exchange for the release of imprisoned militants.
Nigerian officials had said the government wouldn't negotiate with the terrorist group, which has waged a bloody campaign against Western influence for the past five years. But Mike Omri, the director of Nigeria's National Orientation Agency, said Monday that "all options are open," according to the AP.
In addition to the U.S., teams from Britain, France and China are now in Nigeria to help find the abducted girls.

Crack House takes the listener into the dark heart of our cities' most violent and terrifying places, showing how the war on drugs can only be won by constant and forceful vigilance. The bastard offspring of cocaine, crack first entered the UK in the early 1990s. By the end of the decade, Britain's inner cities were in the midst of a crack epidemic, with users being responsible for a massive proportion of crime. Communities, especially in London, were crying out for help, but there were only two specialist units in the whole of the capital.
One of them, Haringey Drugs Squad, embarked on a war on crack, aiming to shut down all 100 crack houses in their borough in one year. Amazingly, they did it. Even more amazingly, in the subsequent 12 months all black-on-black killings in Haringey ceased, and burglaries and muggings fell massively.
In Crack House, Harry Keeble describes in heart-stopping fashion the raids and arrests, as well as the beatings, stabbings, and shootings he witnessed as leader of the Haringey Drugs Squad and their war on drugs.

"An Entertaining Story About a Disturbing Subject"
I think the narration of a book is critical to how much you enjoy it, and Damian Lynch did a fantastic job. His accent and tone gave this a gritty "cop" atmosphere that really matched well with the story. He was very easy to listen to, and gave the story credibility - I could easily believe that he was the major character telling the story; he should be commended for his performance.
This was a really entertaining audiobook. The story was very interesting - telling the tale of a police unit that shut down crack houses in a borough of London. The narration was excellent, and the story easily absorbing. The author easily conveyed the horrendous impact of crack - in terms of contributing to violent crime, and the human degradation. If I had one criticism it would be in the pace and lack of detail in how they went about identifying and crashing the houses; while there was good description about the houses and the overall story of shutting down the houses, the recounting of some of the raids seemed almost too easy - which clearly it wouldn't have been. But as an entertaining story, this was very enjoyable.
"Addictive as the drug itself"
I work in a Drug and Alcohol rehab, so I was not too shocked at the awful stories about the adicts in this book (sad though they are), what shocks and pulls you in is the gritty and honest way the book has been written, the trully disturbing politics surrounding the whole official approach to tackling the issue (ignorance and disinterest) and the determination of this one copper to sort it out no matter what!
Horridly true
And it still goes on
If you have read this far... then it is a must-read, unputdownable, supprisingly addictive book.
Roll on the movie....
Much better than I ever expected it could be.
Amazing account from the front lines of the crack war just in one borough !
i grew up in and around areas with theses scumy people, places and details... all which comes to life. very well delivered from a view that we dont often hear from. Once started it was very hard to stop the audio, full of sad, funny, frustrating, horrible, disgusting tales. the audioit has all the human emotions kicking around in it. if you have ever been mugged in north london,....well read this to see what it had funded...........
"Truly shocking"
I like this book for several reasons;
- Glimpse inside war on drugs. Politics, means, methods.
- Filled with anecdotes - true I suppose.
- Horrific & informative regarding cracks addictiveness.
- Good pace & flow, never boring.
- Good narration.
- Suitable length.
"Way better than I thought it would be. Excellent b"
Started listening and literally could not stop. This is an excellent, entertaining, gritty and worthwhile listen. Great narrator and fascinating story. I hope its apocalyptic message does not eventuate ...
"Fascinating - loved every minute of it"
This has to be one of the best audio books I've ever listened to.
Although fact, it reads like fiction. I was fascinated to hear about this sub-culture that exists under our noses. The human character is portrayed in it's extreme - dogged determination from all angles.
Brilliantly narrated. One of the few books that excels in this format - far more enjoyable listening to it than having read it myself.
"Crack House"
This was brilliant, and sad on the murkier side of Britain and drugs. Will stay with you a while this one.Don't let the tough cockney reader put you off. This is a must listen

"I knew going into being pregnant that there were going to be a lot of obstacles as far as breast feeding," Spurgeon said. "I realized how important it was for my son's health, and how it can delay and reduce the risks of him developing allergies and asthma."
Spurgeon would not have to face the task alone. With help from the staff at Covenant, she was able to figure out how she could breastfeed Keyton with just one arm. One of her consultants was Becky Meador.
"She's such an inspiration to other mothers," Meador said. "They can learn from her story that you can make it through those struggles."
"I did know that breastfeeding was going to be an issue, mostly as far as positioning goes," Spurgeon said. "I think the first two times that I came I cried just out of frustration and lack of sleep. And they were really there and encouraging."
Spurgeon also said, "Don't give up because it's tough, but it's definitely worth it."

Last year's merger helped propel Thomson Reuters (NSDQ: TRIN) to a strong Q1, despite the economy's pressure on the media business and on its finance-related customers. Earnings were up 17.5 percent to $228 million ($0.27 per share) while revenues shot up 72.2 percent to $3.12 billion. However, that wasn't strong enough to meet the analysts' consensus gathered by Thomson Reuters' news service, as the company's observers anticipated EPS of $0.35 with revenue of $3.18 billion, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
Despite the double-digit growth numbers, there are causes for concern. In particular, the Thomson Reuters' markets division, which provides roughly 60 percent of the company's revenue, was up an anemic 0.4 percent. Within that unit, the media segment's revenues dropped 18 percent to $89 million.
