I really wanted to be the perfect mom. Perfect house, clean car (oh my!), kids' clothes that matched and didn't have blueberry hand-prints down the front, and other mythological pipe dreams.
Instead, our living room looks like a tornado spun through it...I still haven't unloaded all the groceries from 2 days ago...and my children ate peanut butter sandwiches in front of a RedBox movie tonight while I crashed in front of Law and Order in the other room, eating a microwave turkey pot pie. I have especially low standards when Steve is gone for the weekend.
But y'know...my flawed motherhood has its benefits. We were categorically exhausted tonight because we'd had a full day of co-op yesterday... then in the evening, I taught at the college while the kids had a movie night at Casey's until 10pm... then we all woke up early this morning to drive 50 miles (no that's not a typo) for Jack to attend the W&M robotics class, a highlight of his week. Two hours with the Littles at the park with friends, while Jack was in class. Then finding out there was a miscommunication on the time and we'd missed Samuel's birthday party at the karate studio (deep deep sadness!), so instead we had a playdate-with-cupcakes at his house instead.
At the end of all this? We had a trip-to-hell visit to the store, when I needed to pick up a few things. Perhaps it's because it was kicked off by seeing Paula and the kids, which means my kids were ECSTATIC and spent the rest of the time at the store coming down from the high. The cupcakes likely didn't help things, either. ;) But we (okay, they) spent the next 15 minutes poking bottles, jumping up and down, coming precariously close to large displays of...whatever. Much chaos. Many muttered comments to my children that won't sound that great written out. :)
We got back in the car, I sighed my "uh-oh-mom-is-pissed" sigh and I said: "That trip did not make me happy. I'm glad you've had so much fun this last day or so. We've done some great things. But that doesn't work for me if the ONE time I'm needing cooperation to do boring things, this is how we're listening. That was not showing kindness or respect, and I'm pretty frustrated right now."
An hour or so later, back at home, I see Simone's little blonde head peer around the corner. And then, with an adult-like look of contemplation, she said: "I'm sorry I wasn't very quiet in the store today. I was really hyper. I'm sorry about that." And then came over and crawled in my lap to hug me.
Dear God, I love these little animals.
In all honesty, I'm not really sure that being the Perfect Mom would have worked in the end anyway. Not just my inability to achieve that. But also, is that even the lesson I want to teach? Or would I rather teach them that we'll fall on our faces sometimes...argue...be crabby...be hyper in the aisles of the store? And then peer around the corner and ask for forgiveness?
In truth, isn't that the more useful life skill?
Having to be perfect because we don't know HOW to be imperfect...well...that just sounds stressful.
Tucking all three into bed tonight, I knew we needed to re-connect. I snuggled each of them individually and talked a bit about our day. I said to Jack: "I feel like I have a lot to apologize for today. I wasn't as patient as I want to be." And with this peaceful voice of confidence, Jack said: "I have a lot to apologize for, too. But... we still always love each other."
I think I'm in love with my imperfection. Maybe not at the scene of the crime. I can't think of many emotions more caustic than failing my children. But the process of it. How we ebb and flow in connection to each other, but always have this foundation of absolute and complete love.
I love that my 6-year-old understands that we can have Not That Great moments with each other, but find each other on the other side.
Hopefully, his future wife will be thankful I messed things up so often. ;)

Make-up shoot
Freelance make-up artist Sam Brown asked me to take some pictures for her portfolio. 'Punk Geisha' was the brief and we used the National Fern Collection at the Kibble Palace in Glasgow as a location. We had to be gone by the time the public got in so we had a 7.00AM start, I think Sam had been up all night applying the make-up.

Florida State would like to sign seven or eight offensive linemen with the upcoming recruiting class. As such, it has been a little disconcerting for Seminole fans to see only two OL recruits in the commitment column. Worse, those two players have been pledged to FSU since last summer and very little has happened since. With signing day just seven weeks away, the 'Noles need to load up on some quality linemen in a short period of time.
Bobby Bowden's team got a little closer to their goal on Wednesday when South Miami High School's Brandon Davis pulled the trigger for the Garnet and Gold.
Article Continues Below
"He committed this afternoon from my office," South Miami Head Coach Joe Mira said. "He went home and talked with his parents and he decided that's where he wanted to go so he committed today."
The 6-foot-2, 290-pound lineman selected FSU over Kentucky and Auburn, and there was little doubt in his mind where he was headed after he was officially offered a scholarship.
"Florida State has an excellent program and I like them very much," Davis told Warchant.com.
He had been heavily recruited by the Seminole coaching staff for several months but was finally offered a scholarship during an in-home visit by assistant coach Kevin Steele Tuesday night. The very next day he made a call to Tallahassee and officially pulled the trigger. With the loss of former commitment Chad Roark to Oklahoma, Davis is being recruited by FSU to play center. During his time at South Miami, he played all three positions on the line - guard, tackle and center.
Regardless of where plays at the next level, his coach believes he will be very successful at Florida State.
"I think he's going to have a great future," Mira said. "He's a big strong kid with good feet and I think he'll do a good job."
Backing up that statement is that Davis didn't give up a single sack during his junior or senior seasons.
The South Miami OL carries a 2.7 GPA in the classroom and will take the ACT for the first time next month. He is scheduled to officially visit FSU the weekend of January 20th and does not plan on visiting any other schools.
Davis becomes commitment No. 14 for the class of 2006. FSU is expected to sign at or near a full class of 25.
Talk about it on the Premium Recruiting Board or the Regular Recruiting Board

I wonder if someone might be able to give a bit of subjective advice.
I need to get hold of an everyday workhorse range of fonts that support the slightly unusual accented vowels in Welsh (w and y) for MacOS X 10.3. Ideally not costing hundreds of pounds per family, as its just for my personal Welsh coursework.
I've Googled it, but the quality of what I've found so far tends to be a little bit… suspect. At least, I'd not want to start forking out cash without some sort of assurance of the quality of the typefaces from unknown vendors.
The ideal would be something along the lines of Perpetua, or a Garamond.
Does anyone have any ideas, or indeed any general advice on using those pesky characters under MacOS?
Ffontiau Cymraeg (Welsh fonts)
Primary tabs
I wonder if someone might be able to give a bit of subjective advice.
Sylfaen on WinXP has W, Y with acute, grave, dieresis, and circumflex and it comes on Windows or in Office. It was designed by John Hudaon, who has some connection with Wales and Geraldine Wade who is from Wales. So if you have a Windows machine the .ttf will load on OSX.
Sylfaen was designed for Microsoft in 1998 by John Hudson and W. Ross Mills of Tiro Typeworks, and Geraldine Wade of Monotype Typography. Sylfaen is a Welsh word meaning "foundation"; an apt name since the font stemmed from research into the typographic requirements of many different scripts and languages.
This version of Sylfaen supports the WGL4.0 character set, for Pan-European language coverage. In addition to Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letterforms, the font contains the characters necessary for support of the Armenian and Georgian languages.
and thet's the description in the font.
The only limitation of Sylfaen is that it exists only in a single weight and style: no italic, no bold, etc. This is because it was originally made for a research project, and not intended to be shipped.
The Welsh diacritic characters you need are available in all the Windows core fonts, including Times New Roman, Arial, etc. and also Palatino Linotype, Georgia, Verdana, etc.
Several of Adobe's type families support "extended Latin" which includes Welsh. Minion Pro and warnock Pro are among those which do (also Myriad Pro and Sava Pro, which are not likely to be of interest for this purpose).
Additionally, a number of the typefaces we expect to release in the next 6-8 months will also have such support.

After the NHL Draft, free agency and other offseason moves, NHL.com is taking a look at where each team stands. Today, the Edmonton Oilers:
The Edmonton Oilers will look similar to the team that reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2006 but lost to the Anaheim Ducks in Game 7 of the Western Conference Second Round last season.
The biggest difference will be forward Ryan Strome, who was acquired in a trade from the New York Islanders for forward Jordan Eberle on June 22. Strome will join a talented group led by center Connor McDavid, whose 100 points (30 goals, 70 assists) led the NHL last season.
The trade for Strome gave the Oilers an extra $3.5 million in salary cap space, some of which likely will go toward a contract for forward Leon Draisaitl, a restricted free agent.
With most of the team back, and McDavid leading the way after signing an eight-year, $100 million extension July 5, Edmonton hopes to build on its playoff run.
Here is what the Oilers look like today:
Key arrivals
Ryan Strome, F: The 24-year-old had 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 69 games for the Islanders last season playing center and right wing. The Oilers likely will start the season with Strome at center, allowing coach Todd McLellan to use Draisaitl at right wing on McDavid's line. But Draisaitl also can play center, and if Strome can demonstrate similar and effective flexibility, it would give the Oilers the potential for multiple looks with their forwards. … Jussi Jokinen, F: The 34-year-old signed a one-year contract July 7 to provide depth. The Florida Panthers bought out of the final season of his four-year contract July 1.

See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
This is another exercise that allows the attacking players to practice dribbling to create their own shot.
As they approach the cone, they will look to perform a skill to beat the cone (to begin this exercise I recommend starting with a skill warm-up/review) and then have a shot from within the danger zone marked out by yellow cones.
For this practice we want the players to be finishing with the inside of their foot. There are a few things we are looking for when we do this:
1) We need to see a sharp skill that beats the "defender"
2) We need a positive touch that takes the player towards the goal to finish and into the danger zone
3) hips need to be point to the target
4) ankle needs to be locked, but this time having the toe pointed up
5) need to sweep through the ball and follow through with your foot coming through the ball
6) Make contact with the arch of your foot to the middle of the ball
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Players who will be finishing will begin on the blue cones.
- The exercise starts with them making a run into the danger area.
- When they approach the hurdle they need to jump over it
- A pass should be arriving toward the penalty spot (the white dot) and they will need to adjust their feet, take a good first touch and finish into the corners.
- Lines are not a big deal here because players will be working very quickly.
- After shooting players will go to become a passer, after passing they will go to the opposite shooing line.
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
This activity is a continuous game of 2v1. Each team will take turns engaging in a 2v1 to attack trying to create a sitution where they can finish. We will encourage them to finish with the inside of their foot, but laces finishes are certainly acceptable in this game as well.
The player who shoots or loses the ball will immediately become the defender as the next two attacking players from the other team step on the field to play.
This exercise has an element of transition to it making it difficult because players must focus and realize the change in roles. In addition to the attacking task of trying to create a shot.
This game can be played to a target of goals scored or for a number of time.

2. War only "increases" the economy during periods of large unemployment, a.k.a. long term depressions and recessions. We are at full employment, how the fuck would it benefit us? That economic fix up package is stupid, it will not do anything. Even my economics teacher agrees with that. What will 600 dollars get you? Nothing, spurring more spending isn't magically going to fix up the subprime mortgage crisis. You are basically saying we should go kill nations of other peoples countries so we can boost our economy.
3. Panzies? Majority, wait I thought it was 98%? Majority is still an overstatement. Fighting a faux war... How noble. Yes, lets kill innocent people just to prove our point that we were wrong, but we still won! Hell yeah! Meanwhile, kids will be left orphans, so they can grow up to hate us, and perhaps another terror plot! Sweet, can't wait!
4. Equal support? Obviously you haven't seen any polls or Bush's public opinion rating. Much less ANY TV for that matter. And the only difference between 1776 America and Iraq is Britain? I think not. Well, I'm sure the Iraqis can't handle rebuilding their own nation, so we must help terrorize it for them.
5. That's what you were talking about, military time table! Good god, you could of specified. Regardless if it will be devastating or not, the citizens need to take charge, not us.
6. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Methods: We performed a case–control study comparing characteristics between IBD patients with a documented episode of PG (PG+) and/or EN (EN+) with those without PG (PG−) and EN (EN−). Data on clinical features were obtained by chart review. IBD-related serology was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and genome-wide data generated using Illumina technology. Standard statistical tests for association were used. Results: We identified a total of 92 cases of PG and 103 cases of EN with genetic and clinical characteristics, of which 64 PG and 55 EN cases were available for serological analyses. Fewer male subjects were identified in the PG(+) (odds ratio 0.6, P = 0.009) and EN(+) groups (odds ratio 0.31, P = 0 < 0.0001). Colonic disease, previous IBD-related surgery, and noncutaneous extra-intestinal manifestations were more common among both PG(+) and EN(+) patients compared with controls. PG(+) was associated with anti-nuclear cytoplasmic antibody seropositivity (P = 0.03) and higher anti-nuclear cytoplasmic antibody level (P = 0.02) in Crohn's disease. Genetic associations with PG included known IBD loci (IL8RA [P = 0.00003] and PRDM1 [0.03]) as well as with USP15 (4.8 × 10−6) and TIMP3 (5.6 ×10−7). Genetic associations with EN included known IBD susceptibility genes (PTGER4 [P = 8.8 × 10−4], ITGAL [0.03]) as well as SOCS5 (9.64 × 10−6), CD207 (3.14 × 10−6), ITGB3 (7.56 × 10−6), and rs6828740 (4q26) (P < 5.0 × 10−8). Multivariable models using clinical, serologic, and genetic parameters predicted PG (area under the curve = 0.8) and EN (area under the curve = 0.97). Conclusion: Cutaneous manifestations in IBD are associated with distinctive genetic characteristics and with the similar clinical characteristics, including the development of other extra-intestinal manifestations suggesting shared and distinct etiologies.

American senators take a step to equate the Indo-US defense relationship
Two top American senators have introduced a legislation which if passed by Congress would lift up the status of the Indo-US defence relationship on same level with that of America's closest allies like NATO and Israel, as PM Narendra Modi's visit is expected next month
The US-India Defene Technology and Partnership Act were introduced in the Senate by Senators Mark Warner and John Cornyn - co-chairs of the Senate India Caucus - yesterday.
The legislation has been sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for obligatory action.
The legislation, a similar version of the bill was introduced in the House of Representatives in March. A prevailing indication has been sent to institutionalize the US government which usually focuses on US-India relationship saying that US is a consistent and dependable defenc partner.
"This bill supports strengthening our bilateral relationship, particularly in defence, and bestows upon India the status it deserves as a partner in promoting security in Asia and around the world," Warner said in a declaration issued by US India Business Council (USIBC) which commended the bill.
India being an important partner with a prosperous economy has huge potential as a market for US defence manufacturers, which support millions of American jobs, he added.
The bill puts India on same level with America's closest defense partners, including NATO member states and Israel, for the purpose of congressional defense sales notifications.
For the US, it encourages the executive branch to assign an official to focus on US-India defence cooperation, smooth the progress of the transfer of defence technology and maintain a special office in the Pentagon dedicated exclusively to the US-India Defence Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI).
It urges the US government to enhance India's military capabilities in the context of combined military planning, and promote co-production and co-development opportunities.
It encourages the Indian government to empower combined military planning with the US for missions of mutual interest such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, counter piracy, and maritime domain awareness.
"The commercial and security imperatives for a robust defence partnership between the US and India could not be clearer. Defence trade has risen from some USD 300 million to over USD 14 billion over the last 10 years and there is every reason to expect it to rise further. USIBC strongly supports this bill and encourages widespread support in the Senate," said USIBC president Mukesh Aghi.

A serving of broccoli a day keeps prostate cancer at bay, finds study.
Your mother was right when she said, "finish your broccoli and you will stay healthy".
A study conducted by the Oregon State University researchers found that sulforaphane, a dietary compound from broccoli that's known to help prevent prostate cancer, may work through its influence on long, non-coding RNAs. This is another step forward in a compelling new area of study on the underlying genetics of cancer development and progression.
The research provides more evidence for how these lncRNAs, which were once thought to be a type of "junk DNA" of no particular value or function, may instead play a critical role in triggering cells to become malignant and spread.
Growing evidence shows that lncRNAs, which number in the thousands, have a major role in cell biology and development, often by controlling what genes are turned on, or "expressed" to carry out their genetic function. Scientists now believe that when these lncRNAs are dysregulated they can contribute to multiple disease processes, including cancer.
The lncRNAs are also of special interest, researchers said, because they are so highly cell and tissue specific.
"This could be a turning point in our understanding of how cancer may be triggered and spreads," said principal investigator Emily Ho, adding "It's obviously of interest that this dietary compound, found at some of its highest levels in broccoli, can affect lncRNAs. This could open the door to a whole range of new dietary strategies, foods or drugs that might play a role in cancer suppression or therapeutic control."
In particular, this research showed that one lncRNA, called LINC01116, is upregulated in a human cell line of prostate cancer, but can be decreased by treatment with sulforaphane. The data "reinforce the idea that lncRNAs are an exciting new avenue for chemoprevention research, and chemicals derived from diet can alter their expression," the scientists said.
"We showed that treatment with sulforaphane could normalize the levels of this lncRNA," said lead author Laura Beaver. "This may relate to more than just cancer prevention. It would be of significant value if we could develop methods to greatly slow the progress of cancer, help keep it from becoming invasive."
The impact of diet on lncRNA expression has been largely unknown until now, the researchers said. In this study, they identified a four-fold decrease in the ability of prostate cancer cells to form colonies when LINC01116 was disrupted.
Among men, prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer globally, and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Worth noting, the researchers said, is that an increased consumption of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, which are high in sulforaphane, appears to be associated with a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.
That same lncRNA, they noted, is also overexpressed in studies of several other types of cancer, including brain, lung and colon cancer. Some other lncRNAs have been found at higher levels in breast, stomach, lung, prostate cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
"Taken together, this literature and our own study begin to paint a picture of the important and previously unappreciated role of lncRNAs in the body's response to diet," the researchers wrote in the study. "These discoveries illustrate that lncRNAs can play important roles in cancer development and may be useful targets for cancer prevention, detection and treatment."
The findings are published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.

Defeat was not an option.
The war wasn't going well.
The mind-numbingly alien Arachnids were an enemy whose like no civilized race had ever confronted. Like some carnivorous cancer, the "Bugs" had overrun planet after planet...and they regarded any competing sentient species as only one more protein source. They couldn't be reasoned with, or even talked to, because no one had the least idea of how to communicate with a telepathic species with no recognizable language...and whose response to any communication attempt was a missile salvo. No one knew how large their civilization - if it could be called a civilization - actually was or how it was organized, but the huge fleets they threw against their opponents suggested that it was enormous.
The Grand Alliance of Humans, Orions, Ophiuchi, and Gorm, united in desperate self-defense, have been driven to the wall. Billions of their civilians have been slaughtered. Their most powerful offensive operation has ended in shattering defeat and the deaths of their most experienced and revered military commanders. The edge in technology with which they began the war is eroding out from under them, and whatever they do, the Bugs just keep coming.
But the warriors of the Grand Alliance know what stands behind them, and they will surrender no more civilians to the oncoming juggernaut. They will die first...and they will also reactivate General Directive 18, however horrible it may be. Because when the only possible outcome is victory or racial extermination, only one option is acceptable.

Dear all!
I have a strange observation in Fluent after initialization of the domain.
I initialized the domain with a constant temperature and some finite value for z-velocity and turbulent parameters. To my surprise I observe at some fluid domain the internal energy assuming negative values.
By definition internal energy is a product of the Specific heat and the Temperature, which is not expected to be negative.
What shall then be the reason for this strange observation. Has somebody similar observations?
Greetings Varghese
Re: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Varghese
I would first check eq.(11.2-5) in the Fluent manual. The definition of the enthalpy includes a reference temperature of 298.15K. So you get a negative value if the patched initial temperature is below this value. There is nothing wrong in this case. If you are already aware of this, then you might have a more serious problem?
Re: email@example.com
I am aware of that fact, dear mystic_cfd.
But I initialize the entire domain with the same temperature everywhere. Hence I donot expect negative values originating from the existence of some reference temperature.
But the domain has two fluids of different specific heats. I wonder whether there exists also another reference specific heat which makes the internal energy of the lower specific heat domain negative.
Greetings Varghese

Unanswered: Automate Changing Cell Contents
I have an Access database which I import data from Excel. One of the fields I update to is a Local Authority Ward Code. Basically, there are 24 different options this could be e.g. A1A, A1B.
What I want to do is to run a query which will look at the contents of the cell and update any reading A1A to read Bicknacre, any reading A1B to Runwell and so on.
I've got an update query setup and have chosen the table and the cell and then put each different code in each column
i.e. Field - Ward
Table - Homes
Update to - Bicknacre
Criteria - A1A
Field - Ward
Table - Homes
Update to - Runwell
Criteria - A1B
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. Is this the best way to do it?

so why not just import the data?
have a table which defines the area codes
do a join on the area code to that table to pull in what ever data you associate with the code (use a left join)
the main probelm I can see is how do you handle area codes that are not defiend.. do you rejet the import, or do you make sure your link is non RI.. ie the source data/ chld table can have a code which you dont have in the code table. run a query after the import is donw to find waht codes if any are not defined and update those codes..
becuase somebody somewhere will create a new code, somebody will miss type a code, somebiody will forget a code.

Tipping Etiquette Around The World from A to Z Oct 23, 2015 by Sarah (Awesome Escape Blogger)
If you've just been served the best meal of your life or had the most courteous cab driver that you can remember, or just been guided around a new city by the most informative tour guide – you may want to show them how appreciative you are of their work by giving them a tip! But did you know that tipping etiquette greatly varies not only by country but also by region and even in certain scenarios? If you're planning on visiting a new destination anytime soon, you will want to brush up on the standards for tipping in individual countries and especially in the region you're in. Brush up on what to do if you're looking to participate in certain activities and how they perceive tipping before you make assumptions (i.e., Sometimes it's considered faux pas to tip!). Here are the standards behind tipping in each country.
At a restaurant in Argentina, it's standard to tip your waiter 10% of your bill. If you're staying in a hotel, you will want to provide your porter with 25 pesos (or 45 for a REALLY good porter). Chances are you'll be using a driver or taking a cab. If you're in a cab, round up on your bill and the extra will go to the cab driver. If you're using a local car service (also known as "remisses") you tip them 10%. If you have a full-day driver you also tip them 10%+ (the better they are, the more you can tip) and if you're using a full-day guide you will want to provide them anywhere from 150-300 pesos (the better the guide, the more pesos they can be tipped). If you're in Argentina, keep a lot of change with you for tipping, as there is a shortage of it and a lot of businesses will not break bills for you.
Australia/New Zealand
When visiting Oz, they have a similar tipping system that American's have. At restaurants, you tip your waiter 10-15% of your total bill. If someone is helping you with your bags at a hotel, you tip about $1 per bag. You tip the concierge $10-$20 if you require a favor and $1-$5 per day for your housekeeper (if you're messy, make sure it's $5 or even more). If you use cabs while you're visiting Australia, you'll tip them $5, $20-$50 for a private guide, $5-$10 for a bus tour guide and $25-$50 per day for a private driver. If you opt for any spa treatments, you tip 10%-15% of the total bill. Service staff in Australia twenty years ago would be fired for accepting a tip, but now it has become more mainstream, just ensure you're discrete when tipping and don't be put off if someone refuses your money.

1. Field of the Invention
The inventions disclosed and taught herein relate generally to linking together devices in an IP connected system; and more specifically related to linking together self-configuring IP addressable devices utilizing two Ethernet protocol IP ports.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many IT and networking centers are experiencing higher load densities as more and more equipment is packed into cabinets and racks. As this occurs, there becomes and increasing need to monitor and manage the power supplied to each and all of these loads.
IT and Facility Managers have the basic need reliably and efficiently to distribute power in the rack or cabinet to the equipment. Depending on application and requirements, these users have some differences with respect to the functionality and connectivity of their devices. In general, these needs are classified by the capabilities of the physical device, its functional behavior, its network infrastructure and its software management models. Furthermore, these market needs are addressed by certain expected product requirements.
One prior art solution has been to link devices, such as power distributing devices, including, but to limited to power strips, that are desired to be monitored and controlled, to an Internet protocol (IP)-based system that allows a user to monitor and control the devices from a computer. Such IP-based systems typically require configuration to allow multiple devices to operate cooperatively on an IP network. In an exemplary prior art solution, each successively added device is given a new IP connection to an external connection manager. One such prior art example is the MP Advanced power strips with OpenComms EM PDU as sold by Liebert Corporation. Another prior art example is the MP Advanced power strips with the Ethernet-based MP Advanced Access Server. Both products are available from Liebert Corporation.
While each of these products has been successful and provides more than adequate monitoring and control, it can sometimes be difficult to add devices to the preexisting system. For example, power strips are often mounted inside a cabinet, behind the racked equipment. Once the equipment is connected to the rack and the power strip is connect to the monitoring server (such as the MP Advanced Access Server), the cabinet and equipment are ready for use. In order to add an additional power strip to meet the additional power demands of additional equipment, the pre-existing equipment usually must be removed to add the new power strip and to connect the strip directly to the server.
An additional improvement needed upon the prior art is the ability to recognize the connectivity relationship between various devices. In the prior art, generally, a device, such as a power strip, is plugged into a server network hub or switch. Once the device has been plugged in, it is given a specific IP address. As additional devices are added, each device must be connected to the same server network hub or switch. Each additional device is given its own specific IP address. This requires assigning and reassigning IP addresses as devices are added. This results in an inability to easily recognize where each strip is connected, how it is configured, and what specific equipment is controlled.
Some other prior art products do not use the Ethernet protocol. Instead, they use other types of connectivity. For example, some utilize a concentrator in which devices are plugged into multiple telephone type jacks. The central concentrator is given one IP address, and, therefore, it is not known where each device is or how it is configured. Thus, there is a need to accurately determine the location of each device added to an IP network and their relationship to each other.
There are numerous advantages to being able to control and monitor the power to all loads (devices attached to a power strip). In particular, monitoring and controlling power to certain loads is advantageous to IT and network managers who are experiencing high electrical power densities and looking for a way to monitor and manage loads at the power strip and receptacle level in the data center or network closet. This ability is also advantageous to facility managers who want to control panel board utilization and protect against inadvertent overloading.
The invention disclosed and taught herein is directed to an improved system for controlling and monitoring interconnected devices, specifically using self-configuring IP addressable devices utilizing two Ethernet protocol IP ports. By utilizing a lower level input and output port, the network is self-determining and the nodes become aware that they are physically connected together and form an affinity to each other. This allows IP based products to understand how they are physically wired, such as, for example, within a Local Area Network (LAN).
The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling devices comprising and connecting an external manager to a communication protocol, connecting a first device to the external manager, assigning an IP address to said first device publishing a second IP address from the first device, connecting a second device to said first device such that it obtains the said second IP address, publishing a third IP address from said second device. The process can be repeated as necessary.
The Figures described above and the written description of specific structures and functions below are not presented to limit the scope of what Applicants have invented or the scope of the appended claims. Rather, the Figures and written description are provided to teach any person skilled in the art to make and use the inventions for which patent protection is sought. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that not all features of a commercial embodiment of the inventions are described or shown for the sake of clarity and understanding. Persons of skill in this art will also appreciate that the development of an actual commercial embodiment incorporating aspects of the present inventions will require numerous implementation-specific decisions to achieve the developer's ultimate goal for the commercial embodiment. Such implementation-specific decisions may include, and likely are not limited to, compliance with system-related, business-related, government-related and other constraints, which may vary by specific implementation, location and from time to time. While a developer's efforts might be complex and time-consuming in an absolute sense, such efforts would be, nevertheless, a routine undertaking for those of skill this art having benefit of this disclosure. It must be understood that the inventions disclosed and taught herein are susceptible to numerous and various modifications and alternative forms. Lastly, the use of a singular term, such as, but not limited to, "a," is not intended as limiting of the number of items. Also, the use of relational terms, such as, but not limited to, "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "down," "up," "side," and the like are used in the written description for clarity in specific reference to the Figures and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention or the appended claims.
In general, Applicants have created a method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling devices comprising connecting an external manager to a communication protocol, connecting a first device to the external manager, assigning an IP address to the first device, publishing a second IP address from the first device, connecting a second device to the first device such that it obtains the second IP address, and publishing a third IP address from the device. The process can be repeated as necessary. By utilizing a single port with lower level input and output ports, the network is self-determining in that the devices report that they are physically connected together and form an affinity to each other. This allows IP-based devices to register how they are physically wired, for example, within a Local Area Network (LAN).
Second device 22 can then be connected to first device 20. The connection is generally accomplished through an Ethernet connection 36 between port 21 and port 31. The second device 22 is identified as a "slave" unit and, when connected to the first device, obtains a sub-node IP address of 10.1.1.1, for example, as well as further publishes an IP sub-node address, such as 10.1.1.2, for example on an Ethernet jack 23. The second device 22 will then publish a third sub-node IP address, such as 10.1.1.3. This process is repeated for each successive device added (i.e. devices 24 and 26) but is not limited in number.
In the above example, each device added is self-configuring in nature. Each device (20, 22, 24, and 26) is equipped with two communication ports (e.g. Ethernet ports), nominally input and output. Each device routes data bi-directionally between other devices utilizing knowledge gained about architecture and cabling configuration through "input to output" cabling. The network is self-configuring, as are the master and slave devices, through the use of Ethernet routing tables to match physical connections to network displays and protocols. For example, each additional connection creates a sub-node address, which is then routable back and forth through the devices connected to each other. This allows the devices to register which node is above them in the chain and which node is below them. With this network configuration being known by all devices, this group of devices can associate themselves together and self-organize into a group of cooperative devices automatically. This eliminates the need to assign and reassign IP addresses as devices are added, but also allows the devices to relate characteristics together.
A preferred method for resolving the addresses of the devices is by utilizing the SMBus specification which defines a method to dynamically assign addresses to devices connected to a communications bus. The method is described in section 5.6 of the SMBus specification. The SMBus is an industry standard defined by Intel. It is built on the I2C bus specification. The SMBus specification has a network layer in addition to the data link and physical layer specified by the I2C bus that defines a standard protocol for transferring data between devices on the SMBus.
The Communication section 48 can be adapted to provide communicative connectivity, such as through an Ethernet link, for a public communication link to the advanced power strip 40 and to establish a private communication link with the installed sections (i.e. 42, 44, 46, 48). Communication section 48 can be adapted to support basic local environmental monitoring.
The communication section 48 further comprises at least one communications port and preferably at least two, nominally input 52 and output 54. The input ports are also depicted in
A preferred embodiment of the system of advanced power strips has the powers strips connected through the communication sections. The communication section that is attached to the external network through its Ethernet connection would be the master communication section. An advanced power strip cluster or rack configuration can exist, where a cluster is defined as one master communication section and additional communication sections connected in series using the two Ethernet connections available on each communication section.
The communication section 48 routes data bi-directionally between other devices and utilizes information gained about architecture and cabling configuration through "input to output" cabling. The network is self-configuring, as are the master and slave devices, through the use of Ethernet routing tables to match physical connections to network displays. Each communication section 48 is provided with network address acquisition firmware such as DHCP and static addressing. Furthermore, each communication section 48 is preferably provided with configurable identification of the advanced power strip. Such identifiers could include, but are not limited to the following items: local contact, location, and description. Furthermore, the communication section 48 is preferably provided with support for the current IP specification, and future specification, on all 10/100 Ethernet ports, including IP Version 4 and IP Version 6.
In order to properly control, monitor and configure the advanced power strip 40, each communication section 48 can be adapted to provide configuration for secure, and unsecured, application interfaces and applications that will communicate with the advanced power strip 40. Application interfaces include those known to persons skilled in the art and include HTTPS, Telnet, Configuration File, Velocity, HTTP, SNMPvl, NTP, and Syslog. The applications used to configure, control and monitor the advanced power strip 40 include those known to persons skilled in the art and include Openview—SNMP; Castle Rock SNMP Network Manager—SNMP; Tivoli—SNMP; MKS Korn Shell—Telnet; Windows—Telnet; Windows—Syslog; NetSNMP_SNMP; Linux Shell—Telnet; Internet Explorer—HTTP/HTTPS; Firefox—HTTP/HTTPS; Netscape—HTTP/HTTPS; Mozilla—HTTP/HTTPS; Opera—HTTP/HTTPS; Safari—HTTP/HTTPS.
The master communication section may have the ability to monitor and trend data that can be obtained from various components of the advanced power strip clusters. For example, all of the measurement values available from the receptacle output and power input can be gathered and exported by a communication section. The communication section will continually gather all measurements from the power input and receptacles as well as any subordinate communication sections and supply the most recent values to the communication sections it is subordinate to. A master communication section will continually gather all measurements from the power input and receptacles and subordinate communication sections and supply them to a client when queried for the values (or asynchronously sent via Change-of-Value (CoV) message for a Velocity client that has registered for CoV).
Receptacle and power input measurement data can continuously updated for all of the advanced power strip units in the advanced power strip cluster and are available from the master communication section. This data can be referred to as "real-time measurements." Trend data made available by the advanced power strip cluster to external clients are historical measurements of data. The receptacle and power input data to trend and interval for each trend measurement can be configured by the user. This data can be referred to as "trend measurements" in this document.
Another type of data measurement by the advanced power strip is energy metering. Energy metering is different from the two types of data above in that the measurement is an accumulated value as opposed to a real-time value or a history of real-time values. The energy value must be accumulated for an extended period of time. This data can be referred to as "accumulated energy measurements".
The receptacles of the preferred embodiment 46 provide the AC power distribution. The receptacles 46 are preferably configured with a number of various domestic and international receptacles. The receptacles can be all standard North/Central American, European, and international receptacle types.
Other and further embodiments utilizing one or more aspects of the inventions described above can be devised without departing from the spirit of Applicant's invention. Further, the various methods and embodiments of the invention can be included in combination with each other to produce variations of the disclosed methods and embodiments. Discussion of singular elements can include plural elements and vice-versa.
The order of steps can occur in a variety of sequences unless otherwise specifically limited. The various steps described herein can be combined with other steps, interlineated with the stated steps, and/or split into multiple steps. Similarly, elements have been described functionally and can be embodied as separate components or can be combined into components having multiple functions.

Is Robert Geller Fashion's Toughest Designer?
Designer Robert Geller on dressing to survive New York City, and the five accessories every man needs.
New York-based fashion designer Robert Geller wants men to feel secure in his clothes—secure not only in the knowledge that they're expertly dressed, but also in a sense of physical well-being. "I want to make clothes that make someone feel like they can endure whatever the world throws at them," says the Hamburg-born designer. Fittingly, his fall/winter 2016 collection, which just showed at New York Fashion Week: Men's, was inspired by the idea of overcoming adversity.
Inspired by a German fantasy novel called Momo—in which the title character defends her colorful home against "Men in Gray," a race of parasites who steal time from humans—Geller showed a series of monochromatic looks, ranging from black, to dusky purple, to mustard yellow, unveiled in order of darkest to lightest. A clever and optimistic take on the theme, the designer says it is one of his favorite collections yet.
Upon arriving in New York City in 2001, Geller worked with Marc Jacobs, before collaborating with Russian-born designer Alexandre Plokhov on a brand called Cloak. He launched his own line in 2007, winning the coveted GQ/CFDA New Menswear Designer Award not long afterward, in 2009. Safe to say Geller certainly knows the ins and outs of menswear, and what it takes to be a well-dressed man. Here he picks the five essential items every guy needs to face the world—or time-freezing Men in Gray—in style.

Ever have days when ALL of the world's problems weigh on you? Like you're trying to write your cute middle grade mystery/adventure novel and the evil writer-hating voices in your head say things like, "There are children starving all over the world and this is what you're doing?!" or "How long are you going to stick your head in the sand while Michigan's economy tanks? Go ahead! Fiddle around with words while Rome burns."
"Shut it," I tell the voice. "Gabriel Garcia Marquez said the best thing a writer can do for the world is write."
"Oh did he? When? In what book?"
"HE SAID IT! See? It's copied neatly here above my desk."
"He never said that."
Why don't you Google it and prove it?"
"Fine!" I yell. "I will."
Thirty minutes later, I hear giggling.
"Shut up," I say. "What's so funny?"
"Google Google Google. You got nothing. And meanwhile, the polar ice caps are melting."
I put down my pen and weep. "I know. And I love polar bears! But what can I do?"
"Nothing. You're useless. Put away the laptop and go get a donut or a bag of chips."
And she is right. And I have to obey.
What? That never happens to you? Oh. Well. Me neither. I was just speculating. Nobody crazy talking to herself around here.

That Evil Writer-Hater in Your Head

Went to the gym. Listened to Obama's speech. Decided writing was the least of my problems. Came home to stress about pregnant goat.
I know nothing about the Evil-Writer-Hater in my head.

Since you probably have some comments that have been made but haven't been moderator-approved yet, this may be a repeat of some (currently unseen) comment ahead of me. But if no-one else has put you out of your Gabriel Garcia Marquez misery yet, I think the quote you're looking for is...
"I think that a novel about love is as valid as any other," he once remarked in a conversation with his friend, the journalist Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza (published as "El Olor de la Guayaba," 1982). "In reality the duty of a writer -- the revolutionary duty, if you like -- is that of writing well."
(I found that tidbit in an article at http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/pynchon_essays_cholera.html but it also shows up quoted elsewhere.)
Perhaps the evil-writer-hater-donut-pusher needs a name?

I'm going to get a donut, too (in a reusable grocery bag of course!) ;)

People need stories. They need stories to help them understand the world, to help them learn to read, to make them laugh, to make the cry, to make them feel, to deaden the pain, to inspire, to educate, to inflame, to soothe, you name it. People need stories.
Now, that snarky little hater in your head might try a different approach, like the one in my head. My hater insists that I *should* be writing, just not *this* story. The hater asks, "Does this story really need to be told (again ... snicker, snicker)? Is it the best story you have? Will this change anyone's life for the better?"
On the plus side, my hater inspired a fun discussion with our priest the other day on vice in fiction ...

Elise, the goats would provide hours of not-writing time for me.
Debbie, nope. You're the first. And thank you.
Kelly, enjoy!
Thorp, thank you. And tell your hater to shut it; I want THAT story.

Keep writing, Jacqui. People like me need stories to take us away from the reality we live in.

That evil Writer-Hater has been visiting me lately, too, mocking me and making me feel guilty for global warming, strife in West Africa, and the crimes of Pol Pot. S/He is trying to convince me I'm a crappy writer, too. And you may be right: a donut might be just the thing to shut her up.

text: Well, a few month ago I criticized people, which are overusing shared methods (never thinking about the consequences when bringing methods to the limtid till they finally get blocked or fixed by associated websites, search engines or whatever). But now I'm reading since more than a year here and I not only see this. I also see the people, which are not selfish and sharing their methods without thinking about it. And not only this: also the shares of ebooks (there are really sometimes ebooks, where I want to know the content but I scare to pay for it as most ebooks are even not worth the "paper", that ebooks are written on. And all that people which are testing out software or reading ebooks and giving such detailed and honest reviews. Nowadays it isn't normal, to share everything and to give informations. But at this forum.... it's loaded with valueable informations. And I think, to hit the "thank you" button isn't enough always. So it was a must for me to write this and say Thank You to everybody who is making this forum such an alive, informative and interesting place. It's not only about shared methods. This forum helps me a lot, to stay up-to-date, how internet works every time and not to loose this feeling. It's much more than methods, ebooks, software and other shares. And there's no "thank you"button available for. So I have to do in this way. Only the chance to write about it with other people (most people in real life, most of us surrounded from, never will understand, what "ïnternet guys" are talking about), has already its value and it's not easy to find many of such places. Thanks to all of you, guys! (that's really coming from my heart)

Nissan North America plans to push a message of fuel-economy in its national advertising for the next six months, which includes the upside to an electric vehicle that only few retailers have recognized. The company has a compelling mpg story to tell and wants it out quickly, Nissan's vice president of marketing, Jon Brancheau, said.
He further disclosed that dealers are also eager to get the message out now. The urgency stems from the gasoline prices rising more than $4 a gallon in some markets. Last December, the company introduced Nissan Leaf electric car to the market, but it has been slow to deliver.
By March this year, there were only 500 Leaf units delivered in a few markets. However, the company revealed last month that it will shorten the long waiting time for the car model by half and will start delivering the Leaf units by thousands.
The television advertising initiative will take two paths for the next four to six months, according to Brancheau. One of these ads will feature the Leaf model. In this TV spot, a series of round objects resembling a zero is shown.
These zeros are linked to "zero gasoline." A naked stomach of a very pregnant woman is also shown among the images. This image, according to Brancheau, created an overwhelmingly positive response from female viewers even if it proved polarizing in recent focus groups. The second advertisement, a more direct than the first one, shows a fuel pump sucking on the consumers' money.
The TV spot will then show the range of the most fuel-efficient Nissan vehicles, including Leaf, as an option instead of spending for high gasoline. This advertisement campaign originated in the company's new dealer ad association program launched on April 1.
In approximately 150 markets, the company's dealers are chipping in $150 to $200 per unit in order to increase TV exposure. The spot's creative work was directed by the national ad team of Brancheau.
The fascia of the new Nissan Leaf is marked by a sharp, upright V-shaped design. This design features long, up-slanting LED headlights with a blue internal reflective design. While these headlights are a simple indication that the new Nissan Leaf is a special vehicle, they also serve to split and redirect airflow away from the door mirrors for lesser wind noise and drag. Since these headlights employ LED units, their electricity consumption is just around 10 percent of what conventional lamps use up, helping the new Nissan LEAF save more energy for a higher range.
On the other hand, the new Nissan Leaf offers a stylish and pleasing interior, thanks to the use of bright trim colors. For instance, blue dashboard highlights and instrument illumination feature a "blue earth" color theme derived from the Aqua Globe body color of first Nissan leaf model. One of the main appeals of the new Nissan Leaf is its exclusive advanced IT system linked to a global data center.
With this setup, this IT system could offer 24-hour support, information, and entertainment. It comes with a dash-mounted monitor that could show the Leaf's remaining power in the guise of "reachable area" as well as the nearest charging stations where the EV's power could be replenished. In addition, drivers could use their mobile phones to switch on air-conditioning or to set charging functions - even when the EV is powered down.
Drivers could also be pre-programmed by an on-board remote-controlled timer to recharge batteries. Tooru Abe, Chief Product Specialist, described Nissan Leaf's IT system as a critical advantage. He noted that this IT system could help Nissan Leaf become a partner for the driver and an enhancement for the passengers as well as create a zero-emission community.
The Japanese carmaker considers Nissan Leaf as a critical first step in creating an era of zero-emission mobility. Nissan, however, acknowledges that internal-combustion engine (ICE) technologies will have a crucial part in global transportation in the next decades. This is why Nissan is carrying out its zero-emission vision using a holistic approach, which entails offering a wide range of eco-friendly technologies consumers could choose from.
While Nissan Leaf could be perfect for some customers, it could also be a new member of an already existing family fleet that could be used for daily trips.
Of course, Nissan's ultimate goal is achieving zero emission. However, the carmaker has been firm in its commitment to advancements in eco-friendly technologies that could further increase efficiency while reducing emissions. This commitment is evident in the technologies that Nissan is offering like HEV, Clean Diesel, CVT and Idle Stop, as well as an ongoing research in FCV technology.

I have small wrists so the watch size is perfect being a childrens watch. It doesnt look like a childs watch as its design is simple. Lots of compliments on the colour combination white/green. Functional and stylish. Being water resistant up to 50m is also a bonus as it can get washed and go in shower and swimming.

Approximately fifty percent (50%) of the Township is developed. Eighty percent (80%) of that development is in residential use. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the residential development is contained in the lower half of the Township. Many residential properties consist of multiple acres with some in excess of five acres.
Liberty Township offers close proximity to Cincinnati, Dayton, Paramount's Kings Island, Cincinnati Reds baseball, and Cincinnati Bengals football. Area universities include Miami University, University of Cincinnati, University of Dayton, Wilmington College, Wright State University, and Xavier University.
Liberty Township is served by the Lakota Local School System. Currently, Lakota Schools are ranked tenth in the State of Ohio.

FRIENDS of a Sheffield man killed in a motorcyling accident joined him on his final journey to his resting place - by forming a cavalcade alongside his coffin.
Bikers paid their last respects to Kim Broomhead, aged 51, of Cliff Street, Sharrow, by gathering outside his house ahead of his funeral and riding together with the funeral car to City Road Crematorium.
Movingly, Kim's motorbike helmet was placed on the top of his coffin along with one floral wreath.
The dad-of-two suffered catastrophic injuries in a collision with 28-year-old cyclist Mathew Hook, of Leadmill Court in Sheffield city centre, when the two men were travelling along the A621 Dronfield to Baslow road on Sunday, September 25. Both men were travelling in opposite directions at the time. Kim was heading towards Sheffield while Mathew was travelling towards Baslow.
Last week Kim's partner Penny Bell, 41, told The Star she has been left devastated by his death, which happened after he reignited his passion for motorbiking just seven months ago. Kim bought his Suzuki GSXR bike weeks before the tragedy.
Penny said Kim was 'the perfect gentleman in every way', adding: "I feel like someone has strangled my heart."
Before the funeral his mum, Sheila Broomhead, said the cavalcade would be 'the perfect tribute'. Mathew, originally from Ripley in Derbyshire, is to be laid to rest at Markeaton Crematorium, Derby, at 3.10pm on Thursday, October 13.
An inquest into the circumstances surrounding the crash is to be held at a date to be fixed once inquiries into the incident are carried out for the coroner.
