Upgrading the Switch Software
These are the procedures for downloading software. Before downloading software, read this section for important information:
•Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
•Recovering from a Software Failure
Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release. The image is stored on the system board flash device (flash:).
You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch. The second line of the display shows the version.
You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.
Deciding Which Files to Use
The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using a combined tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file. To upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.
Table 2 lists the filenames for this software release.

This image has the Kerberos, SSH, Layer 2+, and full Layer 3 routing Metro Ethernet features.
Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco IOS release and the Cisco IOS release to which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you have verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.
Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for more information:
You can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command.
You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without using an external TFTP server by using the tftp-server global configuration command. For more information about the tftp-server command, see the "Basic File Transfer Services Commands" section of the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2 at this URL:
Upgrading a Switch
This procedure is for copying the combined tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a TFTP server and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the current image.
Note For downloading software, we recommend that you connect to the TFTP server through a network node interface (NNI). If you want to connect to the server through a user network interface (UNI), see the "Troubleshooting" chapter of the software configuration guide for methods for enabling ping capability on UNIs. See the "New Software Features" section for a definition of NNIs and UNIs.
To download software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use Table 2 to identify the file that you want to download.
Step 2 Download the software image file. If you have a SmartNet support contract, log in to cisco.com and go to this URL, and log in to download the appropriate files:
Click on "Launch the IOS Upgrade Planner" and search for ME 3400 to download the appropriate files:
•To download the metro base, metro access, or metro IP access files for a Cisco ME 3400 switch, click Cisco ME 3400 software.
•To obtain authorization and to download the cryptographic software files, click Cisco ME 3400 3DES Cryptographic Software.
Step 3 Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation, and make sure that the TFTP server is properly configured.
For more information, refer to Appendix B in the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 4 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Step 5 (Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC command:
Switch# ping tftp-server-address
Note By default, ping is supported on network node interfaces (NNIs), but you cannot ping from a user network interface (UNI) because the control-plane security feature drops ICMP response packets received on UNIs. See the "Troubleshooting" chapter of the software configuration guide for methods for pinging from the switch to a host connected to a UNI.
For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, refer to the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 6 Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC command:Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar
The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not saved.
For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case sensitive.
This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 126.96.36.199 and to overwrite the image on the switch:Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://18.104.22.168/me340x-metroipaccess-tar.122.46.SE.tar
You can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
Recovering from a Software Failure
For recovery procedures, see the "Troubleshooting" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.
Installation Notes
You can assign IP information to your switch by using these methods:
•The CLI-based setup program, as described in the switch hardware installation guide.
•The DHCP-based autoconfiguration, as described in the switch software configuration guide.
•Manually assigning an IP address, as described in the switch software configuration guide.
New Features
These sections describe the new supported hardware and the new software features provided in this release:
New Hardware Features
For a list of all supported hardware, see the "Hardware Supported" section.
New Software Features
These are the new software features for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE:
•EOT and IP SLAs EOT static route support to identify when a preconfigured static route or a DHCP route goes down
•Counter and timer enhancements to Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) support
•Support for HSRP Version 2 (HSRPv2)
•DHCP server port-based address allocation for the preassignment of an IP address to a switch port.
•Support for the CISCO-NAC-NAD and CISCO-PAE MIBs
•Beginning with this release, entering the no port-type interface configuration command on a port has the same effect as entering the default port-type interface command. It sets the interface to the default port type: NNI for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or UNI for Fast Ethernet interfaces. In previous releases, entering the no-port type command set any interface to UNI.

Limitations and Restrictions
You should review this section before you begin working with the switch. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround. Some features might not work as documented, and some features could be affected by recent changes to the switch hardware or software.
These limitations apply to the Cisco ME switches:
These are the configuration limitations:
•The far-end fault optional facility is not supported on the GLC-GE-100FX SFP module.
The workaround is to configure aggressive UDLD. (CSCsh70244).
•A static IP address might be removed when the previously acquired DHCP IP address lease expires.
This problem occurs under these conditions:
–When the switch is booted without a configuration (no config.text file in flash memory).
–When the switch is connected to a DHCP server that is configured to give an address to it (the dynamic IP address is assigned to VLAN 1).
–When an IP address is configured on VLAN 1 before the dynamic address lease assigned to VLAN 1 expires.
The workaround is to reconfigure the static IP address. (CSCea71176 and CSCdz11708)
•The DHCP snooping binding database is not written to flash memory or a remote file in any of these situations:
–When the Network Time Protocol (NTP) is configured, but the NTP clock is not synchronized. You can check the clock status by entering the show NTP status privileged EXEC command and verifying that the network connection to the NTP server and the peer work correctly.
–The DHCP snooping database file is manually removed from the file system. After enabling the DHCP snooping database by configuring a database URL, a database file is created. If the file is manually removed from the file system, the DHCP snooping database does not create another database file. You need to disable the DHCP snooping database and enable it again to create the database file.
–The URL for the configured DHCP snooping database was replaced because the original URL was not accessible. The new URL might not take effect after the timeout of the old URL.
No workaround is necessary; these are the designed behaviors. (CSCed50819)
•When dynamic ARP inspection is enabled on a switch, ARP and RARP packets greater than 2016 bytes are dropped by the switch or switch stack. This is a hardware limitation.
However, when dynamic ARP inspection is not enabled and a jumbo MTU is configured, ARP and RARP packets are correctly bridged in hardware. (CSCed79734)
•Dynamic ARP inspection log entries might be lost after a switch failure. Any log entries that are still in the log buffer (have not been output as a system message) on a switch that fails are lost.
When you enter the show ip arp inspection log privileged EXEC command, the log entries from all switches in the stack are moved to the switch on which you entered the command.
There is no workaround. (CSCed95822)
•When port security is enabled on an interface in restricted mode and the switchport block unicast interface command has been entered on that interface, MAC addresses are incorrectly forwarded when they should be blocked
The workaround is to enter the no switchport block unicast interface configuration command on that specific interface. (CSCee93822)
•A traceback error occurs if a crypto key is generated after an SSL client session.
There is no workaround. This is a cosmetic error and does not affect the functionality of the switch. (CSCef59331)
This is the EtherChannel limitation:
•The switch might display tracebacks similar to this example when an EtherChannel interface port-channel type changes from Layer 2 to Layer 3 or the reverse:
15:50:11: %COMMON_FIB-4-FIBNULLHWIDB: Missing hwidb for fibhwidb Port-channel1 (ifindex 1632) -Traceback= A585C B881B8 B891CC 2F4F70 5550E8 564EAC 851338 84AF0C 4CEB50 859DF4 A7BF28 A98260 882658 879A58
There is no workaround. (CSCsh12472)
This is the IP limitation:
•The switch does not create an adjacent table entry when the ARP timeout value is 15 seconds and the ARP request times out. The workaround is to not set an ARP timeout value lower than 120 seconds. (CSCea21674)
MAC Addressing
This is the MAC addressing limitation:
When a MAC address is configured for filtering on the internal VLAN of a routed port, incoming packets from the MAC address to the routed port are not dropped. (CSCeb67937)
These are the multicasting limitations:
•The switch does not support tunnel interfaces, including DVMRP and PIM tunneling.
•Nonreverse-path forwarded (RPF) IP multicast traffic to a group that is bridged in a VLAN is leaked onto a trunk port in the VLAN even if the port is not a member of the group in the VLAN, but it is a member of the group in another VLAN. Because unnecessary traffic is sent on the trunk port, it reduces the bandwidth of the port. There is no workaround for this problem because non-RPF traffic is continuous in certain topologies. As long as the trunk port is a member of the group in at least one VLAN, this problem occurs for the non-RPF traffic. (CSCdu25219)
•If the number of multicast routes and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups are more than the maximum number specified by the show sdm prefer global configuration command, the traffic received on unknown groups is flooded in the received VLAN even though the show ip igmp snooping multicast-table privileged EXEC command output shows otherwise. The workaround is to reduce the number of multicast routes and IGMP snooping groups to less than the maximum supported value. (CSCdy09008)
•IGMP filtering is applied to packets that are forwarded through hardware. It is not applied to packets that are forwarded through software. Hence, with multicast routing enabled, the first few packets are sent from a port even when IGMP filtering is set to deny those groups on that port. There is no workaround. (CSCdy82818)
•When you use the ip access-group interface configuration command with a router access control list (ACL) to deny access to a group in a VLAN, multicast data to the group that is received in the VLAN is always flooded in the VLAN, regardless of IGMP group membership in the VLAN. This provides reachability to directly connected clients, if any, in the VLAN. The workaround is to not apply a router ACL set to deny access to a VLAN interface. Apply the security through other means; for example, apply VLAN maps to the VLAN instead of using a router ACL for the group. (CSCdz86110)
•If an IGMP report packet has two multicast group records, the switch removes or adds interfaces depending on the order of the records in the packet:
–If the ALLOW_NEW_SOURCE record is before the BLOCK_OLD_SOURCE record, the switch removes the port from the group.
–If the BLOCK_OLD_SOURCE record is before the ALLOW_NEW_SOURCE record, the switch adds the port to the group.
There is no workaround. (CSCec20128)
•When IGMP snooping is disabled and you enter the switchport block multicast interface configuration command, IP multicast traffic is not blocked.
The switchport block multicast interface configuration command is only applicable to non-IP multicast traffic.
There is no workaround. (CSCee16865)
•Incomplete multicast traffic can be seen under either of these conditions:
–You disable IP multicast routing or re-enable it globally on an interface.
–A switch mroute table temporarily runs out of resources and recovers later.
The workaround is to enter the clear ip mroute privileged EXEC command on the interface. (CSCef42436)
This is the Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) limitation:
•Although you can configure a REP segment without configuring REP edge ports, we recommend that you configure REP edge ports whenever possible because edge ports enable these functions:
–selecting the preferred alternate port
–configuring VLAN load balancing
–configuring topology change notifications (TCNs) toward STP, other REP segments, or an interface
–initiating the topology collection process
–preemption mechanisms
You cannot enable these functions on REP segments without edge ports.
These are the routing limitations:
•The switch does not support tunnel interfaces for routed traffic.
•A route map that has an ACL with a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) clause cannot be applied to a Layer 3 interface. The switch rejects this configuration and displays a message that the route map is unsupported. There is no workaround. (CSCea52915)
•A spanning-tree loop might occur if all of these conditions are true:
–Port security is enabled with the violation mode set to protected.
–The maximum number of secure addresses is less than the number of switches connected to the port.
–There is a physical loop in the network through a switch whose MAC address has not been secured, and its BPDUs cause a secure violation.
The workaround is to change any one of the listed conditions. (CSCed53633)
These are the quality of service (QoS) limitations:
•When you use the bandwidth policy-map class command to configure more than one class in a policy map for Class-based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), and the committed information rate (CIR) bandwidth for any of the classes is less than 2 percent of the interface rate, the CBWFQ classes in the policy may not receive the configured CIR bandwidths.
There is no workaround, but it is unlikely that a CBWFQ class would be configured with such a low CIR bandwidth. (CSCsb98219)
•Although visible in the command-line help, the conform-action color class-map police configuration command is not supported. Entering the command has no affect.
There is no workaround. (CSCsk00594)
SPAN and RSPAN
These are the SPAN and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) limitations.
•The egress SPAN data rate might degrade when multicast routing is enabled. The amount of degradation depends on the processor loading. Typically, the switch can egress SPAN at up to 40,000 packets per second (64-byte packets). As long as the total traffic being monitored is below this limit, there is no degradation. However, if the traffic being monitored exceeds the limit, only a portion of the source stream is spanned. When this occurs, the following console message appears:
Decreased egress SPAN rate. In all cases, normal traffic is not affected; the degradation limits only how much of the original source stream can be egress spanned. If multicast routing is disabled, egress SPAN is not degraded.
There is no workaround. If possible, disable multicast routing. If possible, use ingress SPAN to observe the same traffic. (CSCeb01216)
•Some IGMP report and query packets with IP options might not be ingress-spanned. Packets that are susceptible to this problem are IGMP packets containing 4 bytes of IP options (IP header length of 24). An example of such packets would be IGMP reports and queries having the router alert IP option. Ingress-spanning of such packets is not accurate and can vary with the traffic rate. Typically, very few or none of these packets are spanned. There is no workaround. (CSCeb23352)
•When system jumbo MTU size is configured on a switch and the egress ports can support jumbo frames, the egress SPAN jumbo frames are not forwarded to the SPAN destination ports.
There is no workaround. (CSCsj21718)
•Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) packets received by network node interfaces (NNIs) from a SPAN source are not sent to the destination interfaces of a local SPAN session.
The workaround is to use the monitor session session_number destination {interface interface-id encapsulation replicate} global configuration command for local SPAN. (CSCed24036)
These are the trunking limitations:
•IP traffic with IP options set is sometimes leaked on a trunk port. For example, a trunk port is a member of an IP multicast group in VLAN X but is not a member in VLAN Y. If VLAN Y is the output interface for the multicast route entry assigned to the multicast group and an interface in VLAN Y belongs to the same multicast group, the IP-option traffic received on an input VLAN interface other than one in VLAN Y is sent on the trunk port in VLAN Y because the trunk port is forwarding in VLAN Y, even though the port has no group membership in VLAN Y. There is no workaround. (CSCdz42909).
•For trunk ports or access ports configured with IEEE 802.1Q tagging, inconsistent statistics might appear in the show interfaces counters privileged EXEC command output. Valid IEEE 802.1Q frames of 64 to 66 bytes are correctly forwarded even though the port LED blinks amber, and the frames are not counted on the interface statistics. There is no workaround. (CSCec35100).
These are the VLAN limitations:
•If the number of VLANs times the number of trunk ports exceeds the recommended limit of 13,000, the switch can fail.
The workaround is to not configure more than the recommended number of VLANs and trunks. (CSCeb31087)
•A CPUHOG message sometimes appears when you configure a private VLAN. Enable port security on one or more of the ports affected by the private VLAN configuration.
There is no workaround. (CSCed71422)
Open Caveats
This section describes the open caveats in this software release.
If you enter the no ip vrf vrf-name global configuration command to delete a VPN routing/forwarding instance on the switch when routing is not enabled on the switch, the VRF instance is held in the delete queue. The VRF entry does not appear in the output when you enter the show running-config privileged EXEC command, but it is shown when you enter the show ip vrf privileged EXEC command. When a VRF instance is in the deleted queue, it is using one of the system's maximum allowable VRFs, and you cannot configure a new VRF with the same name.
The workaround is to enable IP routing on the switch by entering the ip routing global configuration. When you enable routing, the VRF is cleared from the deleted queue.
When several per-port, per-VLAN parent policies are attached to the input of one or more interfaces and a child policy of these parent policies is modified, the parent policies are detached from the interfaces and reattached during the process. Because the modified policy is large, the TCAM entries are being used up, and the attached policies should be removed. However, some of the parent policies are not removed from the interface, and the TCAM entries are cleared. If you save the configuration and reload the switch, the policies are detached, but the TCAM is full, and you cannot attach other policies.
This error message appears:
QOSMGR-4-QOS_TCAM_RESOURCE_EXCEED_MAX: Exceeded a maximum of QoS TCAM resources
The workaround is to manually detach the policy maps from all the interfaces by entering the no service-policy input policy-map-name interface configuration command on each interface.
When you enter the boot host retry timeout global configuration command to specify the amount of time that the client should keep trying to download the configuration and you do not enter a timeout value, the default value is zero, which should mean that the client keeps trying indefinitely. However, the client does not keep trying to download the configuration.
The workaround is to always enter a non zero value for the timeout value when you enter the boot host retry timeout timeout-value command.
A switch intermittently fails and displays this error message when the uni-vlan community configuration is in the switch running configuration:Traceback= B941C4 1AA018 19610C 1930B8 BD0720 BC7D0CJun 2 09:30:45.325 MDT: %SCHED-7-WATCH: Attempt to lock uninitializedwatched semaphore (address 0).The traceback is seen due to the presence of the command "uni-vlan community".
You only need to do one of these workaround:
–Remove the uni-vlan community configuration command from the running configuration.
–Use a VLAN in the range of 1 to 1024.
Resolved Caveats
These are the caveats that have been resolved in this release:
A switch no longer fails under these conditions:
–OSPF is in the switch image.
–You enter the RIP no default-information router configuration command.
If you configure IP SLA to generate a syslog message for a reaction trap and an operation with a trigger of timeout or connectionless, a syslog message now appears when triggered.
Traceback messages no longer appear if you enter the no switchport interface configuration command to change a Layer 2 interface from a port channel to a routed port.
When you clear counters on an interface and then disable storm control on that interface, an incorrect value (an unusually large number) for McastSuppDiscards no longer appears when you enter the show interface counters privileged EXEC command. This could occur when the interface had storm control enabled and experienced traffic with a data rate higher than the storm-control threshold so that storm control is dropping packets.
The switch no longer reloads with no stack trace information if you try to configure REP when there is a large number of MAC addresses (more than 8000) on more than 900 VLANs on the switch.
A traceback error appeared when you entered the show aaa subscriber profile privileged EXEC command. This command is not supported on the switch and has been removed from the command-line interface.
The default queue limit for QoS has been changed from 48 to 160 (256-byte) packets.
If you specify the router ID before entering the autonomous-system autonomous-system-number address-family configuration command, the router ID is no longer lost when the switch reloads.
Any form of the passive-interface command entered in one instance propagates to all configured address-family instances for the same EIGRP routing process.
When the ip pim sparse-mode and ip wccp web-cache redirect in configuration commands are applied on a global table interface, traffic is now sent to multicast receivers.
Outgoing packets are no longer dropped from an interface with policy-based routing (PBR):
–Any static route is configured with a next-hop IP-address that is the same as the PBR next-hop address.
–Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for the next-hop is incomplete.
An end host no longer remains in the guest VLAN after IEEE 802.1X authentication.
The ip sla responder global configuration command no longer has to be removed and then added again to the running configuration after you reload a switch.
A debug exception error that causes the switch to fail no longer occurs. In previous releases, this failure occurred when one or more switches were configured in the same Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) segment.
The IP SLA Ethernet MIB no longer returns the incorrect value for the sum of squares of the positive jitter from destination to source.
When IEEE 802.1x is enabled on the switch, EAP notification packets are no longer dropped.

Ugh. This is pretty repugnant.
Recently, Eurogamer posted an article that condemned sponsorship in video game journalism and had briefly mentioned Wainwright. The article was eventually edited to remove her mention in the article. It sparked a firestorm that caused many to look for more information about Wainwright. A notable detail that was discovered is that she was once employed by Square Enix and has written extremely positive reviews about their games.
Today, a Square Enix representative has publicly admitted that Wainwright is not real and was created to promote Square Enix games. Robert Peeler, Square Enix community manager, responded to a series of posts on its forums asking about the employment of Wainwright.
"I don't think I have permission to post this, but I will do so anyway. Lauren is not a real person and is actually a character created by Square Enix's marketing department. I deeply apologize for anyone who was swayed by her commentary or reviews."
Many were in disbelief by this revelation, but Peeler continued to explain, "In the Eurogamer article, they mention she tweeted the following: 'Urm… Trion were giving away PS3s to journalists at the GMAs. Not sure why that's a bad thing?'. This was marketing's way of convincing people that this was not bribery, but just something innocuous. In the marketing circles of many video game companies, they watch each other's backs."
"Her love of everything Tomb Raider, as evidenced by her Twitter account, was the real reason she was created," Peeler explains, "Square Enix knew that Tomb Raider was dead and had to find a way to promote hype for the series again. Her love of Tomb Raider is not genuine and the actress who played her was coached on what to do say when going out to conventions and other public events."
At this point, the thread was deleted by Square Enix and they have not officially commented on the situation. Robert Florence, the author behind the original Eurogamer article, has said on Twitter, "I knew it! **** Square. They haven't made a good game since they merged."

One of our key advocacy initiatives this year involves expanding the availability of epinephrine auto-injectors in schools. More than 20 states already have laws or guidelines in place allowing schools to have on hand "stock" epinephrine, which is not prescribed to a specific student, but can be used for any student or staff member in an anaphylactic emergency.
Washington state joined that group in April with the help of Charlie Porter and his mother Sally.
Charlie is allergic to peanuts, soy and peas; Sally is the Food Allergy Chair of her school's PTA and a tireless food allergy advocate. Sally worked with State Sen. Mark Mullet to help pass the new legislation in Washington, which will greatly increase schools' ability to provide life-saving medication for students.
Charlie did his part by bravely testifying before the state legislature, talking to the legislators about food allergies and demonstrating how to use an auto-injector. On May 16, 2013, Gov. Jay Inslee signed the bill into law at a ceremony at his office in Olympia.
We talked to Charlie about what it was like to advocate for this law:
What's it like having food allergies?
It can be hard because people say I am missing out on peanut candy like Snickers.
How did you get involved with the stock epinephrine law in Washington? Why was it was important to you?
Because my mom was one of the people who helped make this law. My mom thought I should get involved. I heard stories about how kids died from food allergies and I didn't want that to happen anymore. Everyone should be safe in school.
What was it like to talk in front of the state legislature?
I was very nervous. I didn't know if I was saying the right things. It was my first time speaking in front of very important people. They were all very nice and they clapped for me. When they talked about it on the House Floor, one representative said, "If a nine-year-old can do it, anyone can."
I really like the law we worked on – we worked hard. It was really fun to be there and see the governor sign it into law. He even said my name to the cameras. It is a moment I will never forget.
Do you think other kids could do the same thing? What would your advice be to them?
Yes, I think other kids could do it easily. I would tell them, "Don't be nervous – It'll be great! Practice with someone you trust and remember what you practice."
Thank you to Charlie and Sally for their hard work in passing this important bill in Washington!
Just two weeks ago on May 22, 2013, the federal School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act (H.R. 2094) was reintroduced into Congress. This bill encourages states to adopt laws requiring schools to have on hand "stock" epinephrine auto-injectors. It's now critical to build support for federal legislation, whether or not your state has already passed a bill. Please contact your U.S. Representative and urge them to support this important legislation!
For information on how to contact your U.S. representative about the H.R. 2094 bill, please visit our website.

Social housing tenants have moved a dreaded vote of no confidence in the body that manages the council's housing stock.
Members of the Sutton Federation of Tenants and Residents' Associations (SFTRA), an umbrella organisation covering residents' associations around the borough, passed a vote of no confidence in Sutton Housing Partnership (SHP) after members complained that repairs to their houses are not being carried out to their satisfaction.
SHP is a not-for-profit organisation that manages Sutton Council's housing stock and is charged is responsible for all day-to-day issues regarding the properties - including repairs and maintenance.
It has acknowledged shortcomings in its performance and pledged to work with its repairs contractor Rydor while Sutton Council has branded the situations "unacceptable".
SFTRA member Stuart Halden said: "We have had several meetings about the poor standard of the repair work and now we have moved a vote of no confidence in SHP.
"We would like to see the repair contract go elsewhere because the current state of affairs is not good enough.
"There are numerous examples of times when repairs either haven't happened or a botch-job has been done.
"In one example a washing line came down in a sheltered housing development. It was reported but wasn't fixed for two to three weeks.
"As soon as it was fixed it fell back down - closer inspection showed they just pulled it back upright.
"There are numerous other examples of poor performance, appointments not being kept and more."
A council spokesman said: "Sutton Council has emphasised to Sutton Housing Partnership the importance of addressing this unacceptable fall in the performance of their housing repairs contractor, and the urgent steps that they must take to improve the situation.
"We are very concerned that members of the Sutton Federation of Tenants and Residents Association lack confidence in the service and this makes it all the more important that the necessary improvements are made urgently and sustained.
SHP said it is working to improve performance. A spokesman added: "We acknowledge that the repairs and maintenance service is not currently being delivered to the standards we, and our residents, expect.
"We are closely managing the performance of the contractor, Rydon. Working together we have delivered some improvements but our priority is that residents see sustained and significant improvements in the quality of the repairs service as quickly as possible."

Devizes businessman Sohidul Hossain fears he will lose business due to a blunder by Wiltshire Council and its highway contractor over the date of roadworks.
Mr Hossain, owner of the 1Spice Indian restaurant in Maryport Street, said confusion arose when signs went up informing people that Maryport Street would be closed this evening - January 17 - for resurfacing.
But when he checked with the council's highway contractor, Balfour Beatty Living Places, he was told the work was taking place on January 23.
Wiltshire Council confirmed to the Gazette that the correct date for the work is January 23 despite the incorrect signs still being there.
Mr Hossain said if the public thought Maryport Street was closed tomorrow he fears he will lose custom.
He said: "Friday and Saturday nights are usually fully booked. I've got no bookings for January 17 which might be because of the sign.
"I'm frustrated at the lack of communication by Wiltshire Council and the fact they have made an error over the date of the work."
Mr Hossain said he received a letter from Balfour Beatty on January 8 saying the work would be on January 17.
But when he contacted Balfour Beatty he received an email saying the work is programmed to take place on January 23.
A Wiltshire Council spokesman said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the incorrect date being publicised.
"We can confirm these repairs are due to take place for one night (7pm to midnight) on January 23. Temporary traffic lights will be set up on the unaffected section of road to help maintain access.
"Local people have now received correct letters and the signs on site have been changed."

A CAMPAIGN is underway to get a new post box installed to serve an area of St John's.
The new housing estates at Earls Court and Kings Court are currently without a post box, and St John's county councillor Richard Udall is calling on the Royal Mail to install one.
He said: "The area does not have a post box and needs one.
"Earls Court is a new area with many residents who are isolated from royal mail services; yes they do get their daily delivery but have to walk or drive a considerable distance to the nearest post box in order to send a letter.
"I am calling upon Royal Mail to consider the area as a location for one of their new post boxes".
The new housing estates, which are partly occupied but in places still under construction, will have nearly two hundred new homes built there upon completion.
Royal Mail has just announced that they will be installing two thousand new post boxes across the UK in areas which are currently under provision.
The estate does not benefit from a bus service and has no local facilities. An area for community use has been set aside by the developer, but nothing has yet emerged.
Cllr Udall said: "Sometimes the smallest of things like a post box can make all the difference, local residents have complained to me about the need for one and I agree with them.
"Not everybody has internet connection and I still feel sending and receiving a letter is much better than sending and receiving an email.
"However, small businesses, especially those run from people's own homes depend on the Royal Mail, a local post box would also help them to save money and time".
A Royal Mail spokesman said: "We would consider the request to install a postbox in close proximity to the new housing developments at Earls Court and Kings Court. In the meantime our customers can use the nearest alternative posting facilities at Bromyard Road."

The Crap We Missed – Monday 4.16.12
In the spirit of Leighton Meester's ass crack, we put the first Final Five pic upfront today. I believe "heroes" is the word you're looking for.
Welcome to Monday's The Crap We Missed which surprisingly includes only one pic from Coachella, which only exists because Rihanna didn't want her Twitter fans to miss out on the vantage point that the entire Coachella security detail and a dirty, fake-hippie with a half-full bottle of rum totes banged all weekend. We've also got Tyrese, the ever classy gentleman, offering a ride home to this nice young lady, as well as James Franco who couldn't look more like a pedophile if he tried. Wait, scratch that.
Raise your hand if your mommy threw the toaster into the tub with you again today,

Before we get to the game … I kind of kept silent about the Marc Staal hit the other night, because I am kind of in the middle about it. I thought the hit was perfectly clean and legal. I thought Staal even got down low and came up to deliver the blow to the chest. The NHL agreed with me.
But where I have a problem is this blind-side, east-west language in the rules. Why the heck is any blow to the head allowed? I am not sure Staal hit the guy in the head, but it sure seems that he did on the shoulder-to-chest follow through. Otherwise, how did the concussion occur?
Which brings me to my major problem. When the hell will the league and the players union get serious about head injuries and get rid of the flimsy helmets and ESPECIALLY make guys wear chinstraps that, you know, fit their chins.
It has been the macho practice forever for that stupid helmet strap to hang down by the neck, nowhere near the chin. So the helmet pops right off. It might be the dumbest thing in a league, and by a union, just loaded with dumb things.
Now onto the game.
Steve Stamkos=monster. Also, don't forget, Stamkos=childhood friend of Michael Del Zotto.
Oh, and congrats to Torts, who got his 300th win the other night. Must have been nice to get it in that type of game, since he's big on his team playing that way and creating that identity.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/2/2013 (1642 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
St. Jean Baptiste has become the only town between Winnipeg and the U.S. border without a bridge over the Red River.
It took about two seconds to implode the bridge, built in 1947, into rubble Saturday.
Traffic must now go to Morris or Dominion City to cross the Red. School bus routes in the Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine and Red River Valley School Division have been changed.
"It's devastating. That bridge has been there 65 years," said Paul Sabourin, who farms on the east side of the bridge. "It's a very sad day, there's no doubt about it. No one was smiling here."
Dynamite was used to bring down the bridge. The blast "was quite a bang. She echoed quite a bit up and down the river," said Brent Manning, part of a six-person committee that's lobbying to have the bridge replaced.
About 200 people turned up for the event, parking their snowmobiles and 4x4s, and witnessing the implosion from viewing areas set up to the north and south of the bridge. The blasting and cleanup of the bridge, which began immediately, was handled by Rakowski Cartage and Wrecking.
The bridge withstood the 1950, 1997 and 2011 floods and every other flood in between. But it was last year's dry summer that finally did it in.
The dry weather caused the banks to contract, and then a rainstorm in the fall caused the banks to slide. The riverbank soil slid into the piers and destabilized them, said Manning, who lives 15 kilometres east of St. Jean Baptiste and used the bridge regularly.
The community has been told it will hear in April at the earliest if the provincial government plans to replace the bridge.

While a break in the impasse in the 2014 Farm Bill's dairy title has emerged, a lot of details still haven't. And, the schedule remains clouded by the Congressional calendar, according to Bob Gray, editor of the Northeast Dairy Farmers Cooperatives' NDFC Newsletter.
Even though Congress is not in session this week, House and Senate Ag Committee's leadership hope to move forward on completing the Farm Bill by the time Congress returns on Jan. 27. The week of Jan. 27 will also be a short legislative week, since the House Republican Caucus has a retreat, Jan. 29-31.
At this point it is not clear whether or not a formal conference meeting will be held to approve the final Farm Bill provisions, Gray wrote. The chief negotiators could send around the completed Farm Bill package to the conferees and have them sign off, rather than hold an actual meeting of all 41 conferees.
The Farm Bill will also require budget scoring from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
One item has consensus: The long battle between the supporters of the full Dairy Security Act and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over the Dairy Market Stabilization Program (DMSP) is over, according to Gray.
Late last week, the head of the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) admitted a compromise was the only way to get dairy policy reform in a new federal Farm Bill. Jim Mulhern, NMPF president and CEO, said his organization would withhold support until it is assured details effectively meet the needs of the organization's dairy producer members.
Details remain sketchy. Gray said he has heard it appears what is emerging is a margin insurance program only – similar to provisions in both the Senate and House Farm Bill versions. Policy premiums would escalate as the level of desired margin protection rises. There may be reduced insurance premiums at certain levels for dairy farmers producing 4 million pounds of milk or less per year. Market conditions could trigger a "disincentive" provision, reducing margin insurance indemnities to discourage overproduction of milk.
Rob Vandenheuvel, general manager of California's Milk Producers Council, expressed disappointment over the removal of DMSP from the dairy title, heaping criticism on Boehner.
"This is certainly a disappointing development, to say the least," he said. "Speaker Boehner has spewed a lot of rhetoric over the past year or two about the 'Soviet-style dairy program' he claims we have, and how the market stabilization program would make it worse. If Speaker Boehner truly understood milk pricing, he would understand that the most socialistic feature of the California and Federal Order programs is the fact that the processors – the folks Speaker Boehner most aligns himself with – have a guaranteed opportunity for profit, regardless of whether dairy product prices are high or low. While dairy farmers live and die by the market value of dairy products like butter, nonfat dry milk, cheese and whey (which drive the value our raw milk), processors can be profitable whether the values of these products are high or low. While we've gotten used to Speaker Boehner's ignorance and rhetoric, I'm not sure how many of us expected him to use his position to hold up the entire Farm Bill over a dairy-specific issue that had the support of the key negotiators. Unfortunately, that's what happened."
Dairy was not the only unresolved issue holding up completion of the Farm Bill, Gray said.
Other outstanding items included the "payment limit" issue regarding persons who are "actively engaged" in farming activities. This is aimed at preventing wealthy people from collecting farm program subsidies even though they are not involved directly in farming activities.
The food stamp program cuts have been set at about $9 billion over the 10-year life of the bill, he added.

'Pretty Little Liars' Star Janel Parrish Dishes on Playing the Bad Girl + More!
Janel Parrish gives us the scoop on Mona Vanderwaal, on-set antics, and her dream outfit!
-Diana Denza
We've all snickered, shuddered, and gasped over Mona Vanderwaal's conniving antics on Pretty Little Liars. From her burning zingers to the downright evil acts that landed her in a psychiatric institution, she's one unforgettable character. We chatted with Janel Parrish, the actress who plays our favorite bad girl, about her favorite Mona-ism, pranks from the set, and where you'll catch her next.
Betty Confidential: Mona is so deep and vulnerable. What does it take to play such a multi-dimensional character?
Janel Parrish: I honestly just have so much fun with it. I put myself in her shoes and come from a really organic place. Mona has a lot of different layers: She's vulnerable, tough, can be completely insane, and she's really, really dark.
BC: Can you relate to Mona in any way?
JP: I think everyone can relate to her in some way. She started out unpopular and bullied, and I know what that was like because I wasn't the most popular.
Read Exclusive: Colbie Caillat DIshes on Her Dreamy New 'Safe Haven' Duet + More
BC: What do you hope happens with Mona next?
JP: I'd love the audience to get more answers: why Mona is "A", how she managed to pull all of those things off. I still don't have all the answers to that.
BC: Do you think she'll always be the bad girl?
JP: It's hard to know. She harbors a lot of hurt and hatred after being tortured by Ali. I would've said yes last season, but maybe she could change.
BC: Do you have a favorite Mona-ism?
JP: She has some great lines and they all tend to blur together after a while! During our last Halloween episode, she said something like Halloween is "better than Christmas" because there's "more makeup." It's a crazy, hilarious line.
Up next: Janel talks personal style, on-set pranks, and more!

Print A tradition of 3 generations. Boulet Boots have been creating quality boots since 1933. Original founder Georges-Alidor Boulet established "G.A. Boulet, Inc." in Quebec, Canada which eventually became Boulet Boots. The small town, with a population of roughly four thousand, was known their quality of labor and was known as "The Leather Town" because of it's production of quality leather good and shoes. Boulet Boots would definitely benefit from that work ethic and reputation. Since Boulet Boots was producing some of the highest quality boots at the time, the Canadian government commissioned Boulet Boots to produce all of their military footwear during World War II. In the 1960s, the next generation of Boulet's: Roger, Reynald and Robert assumed responsibility of the company. A company they had been working at since they were very young boys. With that move came the next step in the progression of this storied company. Boulet Boots became the first company in Canada to produce cowboy boots. They continue to specialize in 100% Goodyear Welt construction. In time, third generation Boulet Boots owners, Pierre, Guy and Louis ensure the company maintains their tradition of excellence which makes Boulet one of the best boot makers in the country. Boulet Cowboy Boots are sold in over 15 countries and their durability and comfort is know by cowboys all over the world.

The third-quarter Hogs & Pigs Report had economists who participated in the National Pork Board's teleconference a little dubious and mildly surprised. Lee Shulz, extension livestock economist at Iowa State University; Len Steiner, president of the Steiner Consulting Group and Dan Vaught, economist with Doane Advisory Service, participated in the call. Steve Meyer, president of Paragon Economics provided an initial overview, indicating that numbers were up in nearly every category.
"This was a bit of a surprise relative to pre-report estimates," saysMeyer.
Vaught, with Doane Advisory Service, mentioned the breakdown of hogs on farms was down about four percent, which suggests slaughter rates will come in close to last year's. "We've seen different practices by producers late in the summer, when hot weather caused huge surges in marketing. The shortfall in the last three weeks is 629,000 head. Essentially, the slaughter numbers imply we've already used up the margin for the 180 lb.-and-over category," says Vaught. "Going forward, we should see a more normal pattern in the numbers.
Lack of PEDv Impact
One of the more notable numbers from the report was the June-August pigs saved per litter average, which was 10.33, up two percent from a year ago. This represents another record.
All of the analysts were surprised pig numbers were as high as they were, considering the devastating impact of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus on the herds that have encountered it.
"We presently have 644 cases in 17 states," says Meyer. "There's no way to estimate pig losses from a case basis and we have no guarantee that all the farms that may have it have been counted. Still, it's a bit of surprise that these numbers are as large as they are."
Producers need to keep in mind the report is an estimate, and depending on the producers polled, the numbers could vary. More than likely, the next report will provide a better indication of the impact related to PEDv.
Expansion in the air?
All three experts hinted that the industry would likely see some expansion, with corn and soybean prices likely much lower than last year. The question mark is Smithfield, says Steiner, and how much of the pork produced by Smithfield will go to China.
"We won't be able to keep up if more pork goes to China and exports could be dramatic," he says. "Consumption of pork in China is about 50 percent more than it is in the United States. The question is, will they produce it there, as they've been trying to do, or will they be importing it?"
Shulz says there is "quite a bit of enticement out there for expansion, with potential profits well above breakeven. And we're seeing strong export demand."
Vaught doesn't believe the industry is seeing the same kind of cycle as in the past, but producers are certain to respond to the market. "Prices have stayed quite high by historical standards and that's going to encourage expansion," he says. "In addition, corn prices have dropped pretty dramatically and that will surely spark some expansionary tendencies. I believe there are quite a few hog barns that have been empty and I think the industry is anxious to repopulate those buildings."
Using the CME lean index, here are projections from the three economists:
4th Qtr. 2013 1st Quarter 2014 2nd Qtr. 2014 3rd Qtr. 2014
Lee Shulz: $85-88 $83-89 $88-92 $82-88
Len Steiner: $87.33 ave. $86 ave. $90.70 ave. $88.70 ave.
Dan Vaught: $86-90 $86-92 $90-105 $92-103

...For Dummies
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Do they make "Plagiarism for Dummies"?"
"I don't understand - does "a reference for the rest of us" really mean that the books are made for everyone except me???"
The ...For Dummies series are books instructing the reader how to accomplish some task. In the 1970s, a series of intelligence tests were used to find the percentage of dummies in the population. It was found that the percentage exceeded 130 percent. This was too large of a market to go untapped, so book companies jumped into the market.
More research was performed, and it was discovered that Americans first started getting dumber in the 1950s. It was largely suspected that the cause was television, but this was difficult to prove. Later it was found to be that the lead solder in the television was the problem, and the cause was that people became confused by the term "TV Dinners" and had started to eat televisions.
edit 'Sex for Dummies' Trilogy
The following trilogy has been recalled by the manufacturer, nine months after publication:
- Dating for Dummies
- Sex for Dummies
- Pregnancy for Dummies
- Homosexuality for Dummies
- Masturbation for dummies
(The fact that there were four books in this trilogy (in addition to fifteen more which at the time of the recall in editing stages) is a side effect of most of the book being composed of interviews by members of the target audience.)
In retrospect, it appears that encouraging dummies to breed was a quite bad idea.
IDG, the International Dummies Group, apologises for this grevious error.
edit Recently
The ...For Dummies series has been vastly successful due to its wide range and massive availability. As a side-effect of the series' success, the average lifespan of a 'Dummy' has tripled. The resulting 'Dummy' population explosion of the last few years has caused many problems throughout the world,(see War in Iraq or Credit Crisis).
When asked what IDG was doing about the crisis, a spokes
Dummyperson annouced the next installment in the series would be Population Control for Dummies.

I'm a newbie to coding, working my way through some simple tutorials but am having a spot of bother with a small exercise, to the experienced, the answer should be simple, the scenario is getting the user to input some data, but coding it to check that at least some data has been entered by using the len() function. If the user has entered data then the console prints what has been entered, if no data has been entered then the console is supposed to print "empty". For some reason ive managed to complete the exercise by trying various code, but a) not sure why as it didnt print "empty" while testing and b) why the below code (and its variants wont work)
original = raw_input()
if len(original) < 0:
print "empty"

A leading papal astronomer is to speak in Horsforth this Easter about the importance of the science to the Vatican.
Brother Guy Consolmagno is a Jesuit and acclaimed astronomer. Based at the Vatican Observatory headquarters in Castel Gandolfo, he curates its meteorite collection – one of the largest in the world.
The scientist, who has an asteroid named after him, has carried out research exploring the connections between meteorites and asteroids, and the origin and evolution of small bodies in the solar system. Along with more than 200 scientific publications, he is the author of popular astronomy books and writes a monthly science column for The Tablet.
Brother Guy will deliver a lecture entitled Would you baptize an Extraterrestrial? at Leeds Trinity University on Friday, April 25.
He said: "I am excited to be coming to Leeds and Leeds Trinity.
"I've always enjoyed visiting the north of England, and have never actually visited Leeds itself, so that will make this visit special for me.
"And of course the universities are well known, so I am looking forward to meeting the people at Leeds Trinity."
The Catholic Church hasn't always had an easy relationship with astronomers. Brother Guy's lecture comes 400 years after Galileo was accused of heresy for his support of the theory that the sun was at the centre of the solar system. The Italian astronomer was later summoned to appear before the inquisition in Rome and was sentenced to life imprisonment – later reduced to house arrest.
Patricia Kelly, senior lecturer in Catholic Studies at Leeds Trinity University, who organised the trip, said: "I'm delighted that Brother Guy has agreed to visit Leeds Trinity University – it's a real honour to have him here.
"He's one of the best and most exciting speakers on science and religion, and having heard him speak before on astronomy and God, I can't wait to hear him again."
Brother Guy's talk will take place at in Leeds Trinity University's Auditorium from 6.30pm on Friday, April 25. Light refreshments will be served afterwards.
The talk is free to attend and there is no need to book a place. Contact Patricia Kelly at email@example.com for further information.

I was at this job interview a couple of weeks ago (did not get the job), and during the interview the guy interviewing me basically told me that if I want to become a very skilled programmer, I have to go to college.
Now I know that's not true, though going to college might get you there faster. But he kind of bursted a bubble of mine.
College vs self-taught, what are your views on this?
Did you go to college? And how did it affect your carreer.
What do you consider essential skills that every programmer should have?
EDIT: Just to clarify, I was applying for a user support job, not a programming job. They just happened to have a development department and I said that's where I'm hoping to end up. My skills are not good enough to get a programming job. Yet.

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, get down and go to sleep happy.
When I heard that Van Gogh Vodka was launching a peanut butter and jelly-flavored vodka, I was surprised to find out that, well, I wasn't really surprised at all. The concept alone should have been cringe-worthy, but I barely flinched, even with a description like this:
"While the fragrance is predominantly of peanuts, it is complemented by the fresh fruit aroma of the raspberry. On the tongue, the roles are reversed and the raspberry flavor is more of the focal point, giving it a velvety texture with a hint of vanilla on the side."
Why wasn't I surprised? Because sipping on spiked PB & J doesn't sound as strange when you consider that marshmallow, cookie dough and whipped cream-flavored vodkas already exist. On the current trajectory, I wouldn't even be surprised if the whole cupcake craze found its way into a… wait, that already happened? Sounds like it's about time we surveyed the further reaches of today's flavored vodka landscape. Below, our top 5 outrageous finds.
1. Cupcake Vodka
Their slogan encourages you to Live Deliciously, and if you're doing it the cupcake vodka way, you'll have three options: chiffon, frosting and devil's food.
Taste It Yourself: Cupcake Vodka
2. Peanut Butter Vodka
Why include its infamous sandwich counterpart when you can sip on something that tastes "like the center of a peanut butter cup."
Taste It Yourself: NutLiquor
3. Bacon Vodka
Bacon, oh bacon. You've been there for the good times, and the bad. Why not join us for the party?
Taste It Yourself: Bakon Vodka (yes, they spell it like that…)
4. Tomato Vodka
OK, so we'd consider pairing it with citrus and/or cucumber, even basil or oregano, but still, of all things, this is one strange flavor infusion to settle on. You say tomato, we say you've got to be kidding me.
Taste It Yourself: Three Olives' Tomato Vodka
5. Wine Vodka
Would you like some cheese with that wine? How about some vodka? Why don't we just mix the two up? Leave it to vodka behemoth Absolut.
