Dynamips is a Cisco IOS emulator. Dynagen is a way to wire-up your routers to make a fully-capable network. It's most common use is for lab-work. You can use it to help with your studies or test out features and configurations before deploying them into your production network. Many people prefer GNS3 as a graphical front-end to Dynagen. However, for me, the graphical use just takes up resources for me and is more "eye-candy" than functional. However, it may be your cup-of-tea.
To get the full features of Dynagen, you must install libpcap library (or winpcap for Windows) in order to take advantage of the built-in network interfaces of your machine. For lab-work, this is a must, as you will usually want to talk to external physical switches and/or devices. If it's not already installed, install it:
[root@sys1 ~]# yum install libpcap
Next, download Dynamips from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dyna-gen/files/ I'm going to be installing on CentOS 5.8, so I'm going to download the RPM file from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dyna-gen/files/dynamips%20Linux%20RPM/0.2.8-RC2/dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm/download
[root@sys1 ~]# rpm -Uvh dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libpcap.so.0.9 is needed by dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386
Woops! Let me check if libpcap is, in fact, installed:
[root@sys1 ~]# rpm -qa libpcap libpcap-0.9.4-15.el5
Hmm.... looks like I've got it. Let me check if if libpcap.so.0.9 is included
[root@sys1 ~]# rpm -ql libpcap /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9.4 /usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.9.4 /usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.9.4/CHANGES /usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.9.4/LICENSE /usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.9.4/README /usr/share/man/man3/pcap.3.gz
Yep! I've got it. Looks like the installer couldn't tell for some reason. I'm going to install it without checking dependencies.
[root@sys1 ~]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:dynamips ########################################### [100%]
Now that I've got dynamips, it's time to install dynagen. I'm downloading http://sourceforge.net/projects/dyna-gen/files/dynagen%20source%20_%20Linux/dynagen%200.11.0/dynagen-0.11.0-1.fc9.noarch.rpm/download
[root@sys1 ~]# rpm -Uvh dynagen-0.11.0-1.fc9.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:dynagen ########################################### [100%] [root@sys1 ~]#
Done! Let's check:
[root@sys1 ~]# whereis dynagen dynagen: /usr/bin/dynagen.ini /usr/bin/dynagen
Looks like the executable is in my path /usr/bin, and the configuration file is /usr/bin/dynagen.ini I'll post my configurations at another time. Happy Dynagen'ing!

LyonsDenMom at the premiere of The Lucky One |
My hair was done. My makeup was done. I was wearing a brand new dress with beautiful shoes and fancy jewels borrowed from my sister. Why? To attend the movie premiere of The Lucky Onebased on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. With a woman I never met before.
Her name is Julia Rose and it was work that brought us together. I work for House Party, a social media marketing company that drives consumer recommendations to build brands and drive sales. In this case, the "brand" was Nicholas Sparks and the conversations and recommendations that our social media campaigns generate will result in movie ticket and book sales.
Julia is one of House Party's most passionate brand advocates. She created a six minute music video to demonstrate her enthusiastic adoration of all things Nicholas Sparks. She wrote a catchy tune that weaves together the romantic twists and turns of all seventeen Sparks novels and her sister, Deborah Crawford, captured it all on film. The House Party team rewarded their efforts by ensuring Julia Rose was one of the 1,000 lucky consumers (from a pool of tens of thousands applicants) selected to host a Nicholas Sparks Potluck House Party.
When the Sparks team at Grand Central Publishing (Nick's publisher) and Warner Brothers (which produced the movie) heard the word, they did us one better. They gave Julia two tickets to the premiere. House Party responded in kind by providing airfare and hotel. And that is how I ended up on the red carpet (to be accurate, it was a faux green lawn!) next to Julia Rose at a big-time Hollywood movie premiere.
I didn't know what to expect of Julia, who hails from the Dallas-Fort Worth area and is known around town as one half of the busking duo Gladys and Maybelle. The other half is her sister Deb, who joined us on the red carpet/green lawn. "Would they be weird? Would we get along? Were they crazed Nicholas Sparks stalkers?" I wondered as I travelled to LA and pondered my 24 hours with Julia Rose and her sister Deb.
Julia and Deb with author Nicholas Sparks at the premiere |
As I returned to New York, I knew the answers were "No. Yes. Absolutely not." As it turns out, I have more in common than I would have thought with these two lovely Texan blondes. As we got to know each other, I shared stories of the five feisty children and one semi-frazzled husband I left behind; this is one of my constant struggles as a working mom – leaving my family behind. Not between the usual hours of 9 to 5 but when work spills over into family time, as business travel occasionally necessitates, I really struggle with the juggle.
I want to be a good mom. A present mom. A mom who rules the roost but inspires her children to follow their dreams, know their limits and be true to themselves. Well, as it turns out, Julia and Deb, a.k.a. Gladys and Maybelle, share my sentiments. As it turns out, they named their band Gladys and Maybelle for Gladys Presley (perhaps you've heard of her son, Elvis?) and Mother Maybelle, the maternal in-law powerhouse behind a certain Johnny Cash. These two women who joined me in a fairy tale evening of Hollywood glam were actually a lot like me. We share dreams for our children; we were dazzled by the stars; and we shared a true Cinderella moment as the light bulbs flashed, the theater lights dimmed, and the story of The Lucky One swept us away.
Now that the proverbial clock has struck midnight, it's back to reality. My sleekly styled hair has returned to its typically curly locks. The dress is in the closet and the sexy heels have been replaced by my signature flats. The kids are screaming, my inbox is overflowing and my to-do list is growing. But I am content. I am home.
I will forever cherish the memory of the night I walked the green grass carpet with two amazing women who reminded me of the power of a great Mom and inspired me to try harder to be one each and every day. Thank you Gladys and Maybelle. Thank you for reminding me that every day I return home to five smiling (and potentially snot-nosed) kids and one sweet, patient husband, I am "the lucky one."

On the latest Global Pulse episode, host Erin Coker talks about the evolving world of Islamic fashion. Watch the episode below and share your thoughts!
When I was studying in France a few years ago, I taught at a high school in a largely Muslim suburb. One of the most profound rituals of daily life at Voillaume high school happened during the few minutes immediately before and after the school day. Many Muslim girls would arrive at the school gate wearing the traditional Islamic head covering called the hijab, (Arabic for "scarf"). Seconds before entering the gate, they would whip off their hijabs, and they would just as rapidly reapply them as they exited through the gate when the school day ended. The speed and grace with which these girls would take off and put on their hijabs, within feet of the school entrance, fascinated me.
But, why did they have to take them off? Because restrictions passed in 2004 disallow religious head coverings in public schools in France. The French government argues that the wearing of hijabs in public schools is an affront to the concept of "laïcité," and threatens secular government. The vast majority of Muslim youth I encountered in France, many recent immigrants, cherished the personal liberties that France gave them. In fact, students I spoke with who objected to the policy didn't frame the headscarf controversy in terms of the government suppressing Islam, but rather as a kind of hypocrisy - the French government limiting the same personal freedoms it claimed to defend.
Nonetheless, they understood the secular nature of the French government and would find the idea of replacing it with an Islamic version as preposterous. Compare this to Iran, where the hijab is compulsory. A new generation of Iranians wants increased freedom from a stifling dress code that has been in place since the Islamic revolution. Simply put, many young women in Iran are sick of religious modesty laws and other limitations on their personal freedoms. Some women are fighting the dress code by following it to the bare minimum. As opposed to wearing the chador – a traditional loose garment covering the entire body (and still worn by Iran's most religious women), many young Iranian women have adopted modifications that comply with the law but allow a degree of fashion and mobility. These modifications include jackets that sufficiently cover the body but are form fitting and stylish. Some wear hijabs in bright, lively colors instead of traditionally modest monotones. An Iranian journalist who has worked for increased rights for women in Iran, responded to these newer fashions by saying, "It signals that we obey the law, but nothing more than that."
The objectives of women who want to wear hijab in France, and those who would like to moderate it in Iran, are different. But the desire to have freedom to dress as one sees fit is essentially the same. When governments mandate how people can and can't dress, they aren't just trying to control what people wear, but how they feel. But does the Iranian government really think that easing restrictions on Islamic dress would instantaneously lead to a rise of Paris Hilton clones, promiscuous activity and the forsaking of Islam? Does the French administration really believe that allowing Muslim schoolgirls to wear the hijab will lead to a sort of "Franganistan," where women lose all rights and Islam replaces secular governance?
The fact that many French girls reapply the hijab as soon as they leave the gates of school, and that many Iranian women see modesty laws not as a symbol of their relationship with God but as an imposed annoyance, shows the ultimate failure of the social engineering schemes in these two countries. While governments can dictate how people dress, they ultimately can't change how people feel.

Just a quick post today to make sure that everyone knows that I am still around and kicking. I have had a busy last month, consolidating a couple of exciting new opportunities that have presented themselves, and getting my teeth into some challenging new internet marketing campaigns.
I just wanted to put the idea out there today to all of the bloggers out there that are wondering how to make money online with their blogs. The short answer is that you have a very small chance of making a decent income with just your blog alone. A blog that just has posts, a few adsense ads and some affiliate programs (like this one is at the moment) may turn some dollars, but not enough to get the bank manager excited every time you walk in.
You should not be considering yourself just a blogger, but taking the next step, treating this area seriously and start thinking about starting an online BUSINESS. Sure, a blog may be an integral part to it, but at the end of the day you need to know how to attract peoples attention and move some kind of product. The internet is full of bad information about "How To Make Money Online", in fact there seems to be more of this around today then ever before. But in-between all of this there are some sound strategies of people that have gone before and made Sustainable Online Enterprises.
Like the byline of this site says, I am all about helping people become Sustainable Personal (as in personally branded) Online Connected Entrepreneurs. Its a simple phrase, a small acronym that can be easily remembered and applied to everything you do online. It is a system that outlines how to gain traffic, and then monetize that traffic so that your audience becomes your customers, and yes, even your fans in the year to come.
By utilizing the wide variety of ways to promote your business, develop content and target customers the SPOKE system deals with social media, google adwords, SEO strategy, blog optimization, marketing and advertising theory, personal branding and sound business knowledge to provide a comprehensive system to at the very least give a good online business idea a head start.

Updated Jan 7, 2013 - 3:24 pm
Doan: We owe the fans an apology
Coyotes captain Shane Doan, who signed a new four-year contract to stay in Phoenix the day before the lockout started, says he feels for the fans who were denied their favorite sport.
"I think just a humble apology for everything and that we're going to do everything we can to earn back their appreciation of the sport," Doan said when asked about what he'd say to fans.
"There's no use in saying whose fault it is or who did what, we all owe them an apology."
In all, the labor stoppage shaved 34 games off of each team's schedule, meaning the 2013 campaign will be a sprint as opposed to the normal marathon, which creates several challenges according to Doan.
"Getting on the same page, getting everyone back skating again and getting your legs caught up to what a game is like," Doan said. "That's going to be interesting and fun, but we're fortunate we've got a great coaching staff and a good group of guys that understand what makes us successful."
No dates for the amended NHL schedule have been released so far.

What are genes?
Genes carry information within each cell of the human body. Researchers estimate that there are 30,000 different genes in each cell. Genes are packaged onto chromosomes. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell. One chromosome of each pair is inherited from the person's father and one from the person's mother.
Genes control how a cell functions, including how quickly it grows, how often it divides, and how long it lives. To control these functions, genes produce proteins that perform specific tasks and act as messengers for the cell. Therefore, it is essential that each gene have the correct instructions or "code" for making its protein so that the protein can perform the proper function for the cell.
What role do genes play in pancreatic cancer?
Many cancers begin when one or more genes in a cell are mutated (changed), creating an abnormal protein or no protein at all. The information provided by an abnormal protein is different from that of a normal protein, which can cause cells to multiply uncontrollably and become cancerous.
A person may either be born with a genetic mutation in all of their cells (germline mutation) or acquire a genetic mutation in a single cell during his or her lifetime. An acquired mutation is passed on to all cells that develop from that single cell (called a somatic mutation). Somatic mutations can sometimes be caused by environmental factors, such as cigarette smoke. Most pancreatic cancers (about 90%) are considered sporadic, meaning that the damage to the genes occurs by chance after a person is born and there is no risk of passing on the gene to a person's children. Inherited pancreatic cancers are less common (about 10%) and occur when gene mutations are passed within a family, from one generation to the next.
What are the chances a mutated gene is inherited?
Every cell usually has two copies of each gene: one inherited from a person's mother and one inherited from a person's father. Most types of hereditary pancreatic cancer follow an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, in which a mutation needs to happen in only one copy of the gene for the person to have an increased risk of getting the disease. This means that a parent with a gene mutation may pass on a copy of the normal gene or a copy of the gene with a mutation. Therefore, a child who has a parent with a mutation has a 50% chance of inheriting that mutation. A brother, sister, or parent of a person who has a gene mutation also has a 50% chance of having the same mutation.
What is a person's average risk for pancreatic cancer?
A person with an average risk of pancreatic cancer has less than a 1% chance of developing pancreatic cancer sometime during his or her life.
How can a person know if he or she has inherited a genetic mutation that increases his or her risk of pancreatic cancer?
Only genetic testing can determine whether a person has a genetic mutation. Most experts strongly recommend that people considering genetic testing first talk with a genetic counselor. Genetic counselors are trained to explain the risks and benefits of genetic testing.
How does a person know if pancreatic cancer runs in the family?
Pancreatic cancer runs in a family when two or more first-degree relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, children) are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This is sometimes called familial pancreatic cancer. Families with three or more close relatives (first-degree relatives, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, cousins) diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and with one relative diagnosed before age 50, are also considered to have familial pancreatic cancer.
What is a person's risk if pancreatic cancer runs in the family?
If a person has a first-degree relative with pancreatic cancer, his or her risk of developing the disease is much higher than the average person's risk. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that the risk of developing pancreatic cancer is increased four to five times for a person with one first-degree relative with pancreatic cancer, six to seven times for a person with two first-degree relatives, and 32 times for a person with three first-degree relatives with the disease.
Which inherited genetic mutations raise the risk of pancreatic cancer?
There are several genetic conditions associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. The most common hereditary syndromes linked with increased pancreatic cancer risk are described below.
Hereditary pancreatitis (HP). HP is a condition that is associated with recurrent pancreatitis (inflammation or swelling of the pancreas) and pancreatic cancer. It can begin in childhood and become worse over time.
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). PJS is caused by a specific genetic mutation and is associated with multiple polyps in the digestive tract that become noncancerous tumors, increased pigmentation (dark spots on the skin) on the face and hands, and an increased risk of colorectal, pancreatic, breast, uterine, ovarian, and lung cancers.
Familial malignant melanoma and pancreatic cancer (FAMM-PC). FAMM-PC is associated with a specific genetic mutation. Families with FAMM-PC have an increased risk of melanoma and pancreatic cancer.
Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome. HBOC is associated with mutations in the BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 (BRCA stands for BReast CAncer). Women with HBOC have an increased risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Men with HBOC have an increased risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. People with HBOC also have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, specifically people who have a mutation on the BRCA2 gene but a BRCA1 mutation may also cause a small increased risk.
Lynch Syndrome. Lynch syndrome is caused by mutations in several different genes and increases the risk of colorectal cancer, as well as cancers of the stomach, small intestine, liver, bile duct, urinary tract, the brain and central nervous system, pancreas, and possibly breast.
Other forms of familial pancreatic cancer. Research to find other genes associated with familial pancreatic cancer is ongoing. Families in which more than one person has developed pancreatic cancer who do not have any other signs of a specific hereditary cancer syndrome may consider participating in clinical trials to help researchers learn more about pancreatic cancer genes. A genetic counselor can help you and your family find such studies.
Are there other genetic conditions associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer?
The hereditary cancer syndromes described below may also increase a person's risk of pancreatic cancer. If you are concerned about your family history, talk with your doctor or genetic counselor to learn more. As research continues, doctors may learn more about the causes of inherited pancreatic cancer.
Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). LFS is a rare condition associated with a specific genetic mutation. People with LFS have a higher risk of developing osteosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, leukemia, breast cancer, brain cancer, and adrenal cortical tumors. People with LFS have developed pancreatic cancer, but the risk of developing the disease is not known.
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). People with FAP often develop polyps (a growth in the colon or rectum) that are noncancerous at first, but eventually develop into cancer if not treated. FAP is caused by a specific genetic mutation that increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer and other types of cancer, such as stomach, small intestine, pancreas, thyroid, and hepatoblastoma (liver cancer that usually occurs in early childhood).
What is your risk level?
In addition to family history, other environmental and lifestyle factors may increase your risk of pancreatic cancer. Discussing your family history and personal risk factors with a doctor can help you better understand your risk. People with a higher than average risk may benefit from genetic counseling. There is no standard procedure for screening either the general population or people with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. However, researchers are studying high resolution computed tomography (CT or CAT) scanning, endoscopic ultrasound, and endoscopic retrograde pancreatocholangiography (also called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP) as possible screening methods. Learn more about possible screening methods for pancreatic cancer.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's risk of developing cancer. Having a particular genetic mutation linked to pancreatic cancer does not mean that a person will develop cancer. Controllable risk factors, such as eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, limiting alcoholic beverages, and avoiding tobacco products also play a role. Smoking is the biggest controllable risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Although, some people who develop pancreatic cancer have few known risk factors. Research continues to help doctors better understand the risk between genetic mutations and pancreatic cancer. Talk with a doctor for more information about risk factors and prevention for pancreatic cancer.

Here's how to find out.See more home improvements that pay off. By Brian Clark Howard Email Print Comments 0 Share Back 4 of 8 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Phlilips Back Next View Thumbnails Halogen Light Bulbs ROI If you can't stand CFLs (even if you've given the newest generation an honest try), you need something with very smooth dimming or that can tolerate rapid switching, or if you want to totally avoid any mercury (such as in a baby's room), you may want to consider halogens. A halogen light bulb is an incandescent with some added technology, namely presence of a halogen element from the periodic table and a quartz envelope around the inner chamber, to sustain the higher temperatures they operate through. In past decades, halogens were mostly available for specialized uses, such as in car headlights and in track lights and torchieres, and they had dedicated pin bases. However, over the past few years, manufacturers have been churning out "hybrid" bulbs that use halogen technology in familiar bulb shapes that can be "screwed in" to standard sockets. Halogens are typically 10-40% more efficient than incandescents, they can be switched and dimmed as much as you want, and they give off the soft, yellow light we are used to. A typical example is the Philips Halogena Energy-Saver 40-Watt bulb (pictured) for general home use. A two-pack costs as little as $10 at some big box home improvement stores ($17 for two bulbs at amazon.com), and is designed to replace a standard 60 watt incandescent. So if we use our formula from above, we see that using one for six hours a day would give us 40 watts x 6 hours x 365 = 87.6 kWh. At 12 cents, that's $10.50 a year to use. That saves $5.50 a year versus an incandescent. At a retail price of $5 for the bulb, it's going to take a little less than a year to pay back (because we have to subtract the $1.50 a year for the cost of two incandescent bulbs. Philips says the Halogena lasts for an average of 3,000 hours, which is roughly a year and a half for our use, or three times that of the regular incandescent.

text: Did I misunderstand what the guy was saying, or is he stating that the Wii doesn't matter because DLC has the lowest sales on Wii? I understand that it's not much, but come on now. There are still quite some Wii players today that buy DLC. I would understand if the best songs got like only 100 downloads, but this is ridiculous. This is why I didn't like the Rock Band series back when Guitar Hero used to rock, because HMX always screws Nintendo over. Is that a problem? Yes, because the Wii and DS are on their way to be the best selling systems of all time.

Announced back in September, EVGA's Z77 Stinger motherboard has now (finally) become available, in the US (Europe will get it very soon). This mini-ITX offers support for Intel LGA1155 processors and features a 7+1 power design, two DDR3-2133 memory slots, two SATA 6.0 Gbps and two SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, one PCIex 16 and one Mini PCIe slot, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1-channel audio, four USB 3.0 ports, two eSATA connectors, and both HDMI and mini DisplayPort outputs. The Z77 Stinger costs $199.99 and can be found here.
Yeah... not sure why it's so expensive. Features look pretty Z77 standard and there isn't any wifi (I guess the Mini PCIe is nice though).
$200 is a tough ask when the P8Z77-I Deluxe/WiDi is the same price, and that's assuming you need such a feature laden mITX board in the first place.
Dang, it is expensive, for 15$ cheaper you can get the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe, which I have and seems to be better equipped than this EVGA mobo. The layout on the EVGA resembles the ASUS one, so that's good, you can probably install a full sized cooler on there.
EVGA always did feel like it could charge whatever it wanted for something and people will pay it.... they're almost like the Apple of PC hardware. Waited a while to see this board come out and it ends up being very expensive and the quality doesn't look all that good either. Let down.
The technology cost is not that different anymore, it's more like that the target audience of mini-itx products are still enthusiast mostly, people who are willing to play a little bit more to get what they want.
Could you elaborate please (honest question)? Every mini-itx board I held in my hands lately had the same amount of layers and the very same parts like the bigger motherboards (as far as I could tell from by looking), so I'm curious what you meant.
+1 for the same question... I don't see why miniITX would cost more than the rest... actually it should a bit cheaper (less PCB real estate & less connectors and components...
I would rather have this! Its 149.99$ AND has built in wireless ASrock Z77E-ITX ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s...
i tried that asrock^^^^^ it was the only mobo ive ever returned over coil-whine.... perhaps the non-solid chokes???
Thats odd cause it come HIGHLY recommended by many tech forums and has a better phase design than most mATX boards
Best looking little motherboard on market. This is not only ordinary motherboard for HTPC. I can beg you can push 3700k far on that little devil same like on E-ATX boards. Look design on motherboard, not only look, she is capable for LN2 I can beg. Little overkiller... Yes it little and it's cost like good motherboard but she's task to became part of something like this... Perfect fot that. That's now IN...little powerfull rig, I mean HTPC capable for 5.0GHz and 10.000 3D Mark 11. You can bring with yourself over summer or winter where you want better than gaimng laptop. And more amd more good cases show up for little boards like this Lian-Li, Silverstone, Cubitek,...
I've paid $400 for a motherboard so I don't see $200 for this EVGA one being a big deal. However, most of my EVGA products have failed me so for that reason I'd go with something else.
Some manufacturers skip the wifi, as most often these (onboard wifi adapters) are the ones to die out first.. leading to boatloads of rma. I think that is what they were aiming for.. then again, that price tag shouldve covered rma expenses in the first place.
I've got the Z77e-itx and it's not bad at all,i can only assume you had a moody mobo BadTaylor,both mine have been reliable and good OCcers too.. The only fault I can find is that the msata slot underneath the mobo is only SATA II (I use that for system drive)... I'm interested to see what more EVGA can bring to the table as the existing z77 boards are of a good standard already
I'm just gonna go offtopic and say that looks pretty good but why oh why have that PSU in that build?
Yep, seems highly over priced. And they should probably just send me one since naming the board after me.

Ensure you are complying with the law on Social Media
Posted by Neelakantam Raju | Posted in Share, Tip of the day | Posted on 06-07-2012|
Tags: Facebook Brand, Facebook Page, Facebook Posts, Social Media, Social Media Laws, Social Media Rules, Social Updates
Social Media allows near absolute freedom of speech to the user. However, laws still govern what is written on social media and sometimes, innocent mistakes can lead to penal action.
Wayne Rooney, the popular British soccer star, found that out recently, when he used "his Twitter feed to mention his sponsor Nike, by passing off a promotional message as a personal comment without clearly showing it was an advertisement." In reality, the message was drafted in consultation with the Nike marketing team even though Rooney didn't disclose it to his followers, as required by the law.
This earned him a reprimand from the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) which keeps a tab on such violations.
If you are using social media for promoting your brand, ensure that you are aware of the local laws and always stay on the right side of the law. (We can't be tired of saying this!)

Spoilers below for the Buffyverse comics.
Joss Whedon introduced me to the comic world with Fray, and then with Buffy, Angel After the Fall, and Angel and Faith. Oh, and the Serenity and Dollhouse comics. Basically, if Whedon writes/directs/creates something, I consume it. But not without judgment. Buffy Season 8 was, ultimately, rather disappointing. The Twilight storyline… yeah… if it hadn't been Whedon, I wouldn't have kept reading. Even he nearly lost me though when Buff and Angel were having acrobatic flying sex… but I stuck it out… and I'm enjoying the journey. Whedon himself has admitted he made some mistakes with Season 8, and he's making up for it in Season 9, which I'm enjoying much more. I also enjoyed Angel After the Fall, but I'm loving Angel and Faith even more. (And I must briefly mention – of course Giles' soul was claimed by Eyghon when he died! Brilliant development going on over there). The comics have gained their footing, and the world is expanding in great ways. And I actually think the greatest piece is the Willow miniseries I finally had the chance to read. Whedon was the exec producer, and I'd love to know how much he poured into the storyline… because everything from the Zen Caterpillar – whom we learn Lewis Carroll based his caterpillar on – to Willow's self discovery was fucking awesome.
We've been watching Willow grow and struggle with magic since the early days of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She really has a chance to shine in this comic, sans Buffy and pals. On her own, we see a confident, strong witch – but she's never stopped struggling with her Dark Willow past. The early appearance of the Zen caterpillar tells us that we're going on a journey inwards, a mythic journey about the light and the dark (only seeming opposites; Joseph Campbell's hero journey shows us that the hero will transcend these) and real power (it comes from within, as the Eastern traditions teach). So, of course, Marrak was Rack! I should've seen it coming. She had to battle one last element from her dark past – she's already confronted her demons with Amy and Warren, so this was the last step for Strawberry to claim all parts of herself, light and dark, and give something back to the world.
This quest has been building for Willow for years, and I'm eager to see its payoff as she returns to Buffy's comic with the Slayer's Scythe – which, awesome sidenote, is the frickin' counterpart to Excalibur!!

HipHopDX Album Reviews
Album Reviewsposted 5 days ago
R. Kelly's "Black Panties" is a raunchy return to baby-making music bathed in club-friendly Rap production. But the debauchery kills the mood at times.

Jonwayne - Rap Album One
Album Reviewsposted 16 days ago
The triumph of "Rap Album One" is that Jonwayne manages to experiment sonically while his rhymes maintain an undeniable true school appeal.
Alexander Spit - Dillinger
Album Reviewsposted 17 days ago
With "Dillinger," Alexander Spit's forward thinking becomes a gift and curse that requires investments of time and patience.
Chris Brown - The X-Files EP (Mixtape Review)
Album Reviewsposted 18 days ago
Despite his penchant for self sabotage off the mic, Chris Brown is still immensely talented. But the flashes of his skill are hit or miss on the "X-Files" EP.

Album Reviewsposted 19 days ago
With Necro's brand and Kool G Rap's title long established, "Once Upon A Crime" is little more than another notch under the collective belt.
Yo Gotti - I Am
Album Reviewsposted 20 days ago
Yo Gotti does a superb job of making sure he connects with his core audience, but "I Am" doesn't offer much dynamic production or rhymes for casual fans.
Troy Ave - New York City: The Album
Album Reviewsposted 22 days ago
Troy Ave's wittiness and overall personality make "New York City: The Album" not just a good New York, street Hip Hop album, but a good Hip Hop album period.

Mac Miller - Delusional Thomas (Mixtape Review)
Album Reviewsposted 29 days ago
Getting past Mac Miller's bouts of immaturity and voice as "Delusional Thomas" is a chore and can be trying. But hidden behind those flaws is a good mixtape.
Xzibit, B Real, & Demrick - Serial Killers Vol. 1 (Mixtape Review)
Album Reviewsposted 2 months ago
Xzibit, B Real & Demrick don't break the mold with their new super group, but "Serial Killers Vol. 1" is pure unadulterated, hardcore Hip Hop.

Hunter researchers and dads will team up against obesity in a new research partnership between the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) and Coal & Allied.
The Coal & Allied Community Development Fund has committed $524,453 over three years to HMRI to fund a world-first community-driven approach to reducing obesity, one of Australia's most pressing health problems.
"Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids is an internationally significant program that teaches dads how to survive in today's high calorie, low exercise environment. It recognises that fathers are role models to their children, and equips them with the knowledge and tools to improve their family's quality of life," said lead researcher Associate Professor Philip Morgan from the University of Newcastle.
Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids was successfully piloted in a University setting in Newcastle in 2009 and preliminary results indicate that the program was a great success. With Coal & Allied's support, it will now be trialled in a community setting in Singleton, before extending to Maitland, Cessnock, Scone and Muswellbrook.
"We will train health and education leaders within each community, enabling them to continue the program beyond the first three years for long-term health benefits. Many families will have the opportunity to complete the program and experience improved physical and psychological health," said Professor Morgan.
Newcastle father and business owner Shannyn Robards participated in the first Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids study and said it was life-changing for his whole family.
"It changed the way we look at food across the whole house and has made us a lot more conscious of physical activity and time together. I dropped from 86 to 72 kilos and have since beaten my 27 year old son in a half marathon!" said Mr Robards.
"In time, this project could be adopted by government, health care policy makers and communities throughout Australia, improving the health of hundreds of thousands of people," said Coal & Allied Community Development Fund Executive Officer Stephen Sneddon.
HMRI is a partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Health and the community.
Media opportunity: Friday 5th March 2010, 11am
Where: Coal & Allied Singleton Office (127 John Street, Singleton. Meet at reception.)
Who: Phil Morgan, Shannyn Robards, and a Coal & Allied representative are available for photos/vision and interview.
Please contact Lauren Eyles, HMRI Communications Manager, regarding any media enquiries.

Setting the trend for Ethical Children's Party Bags with Little Cherry!
Children's Party Bags are a must at most parties and kids love them! However in this "consume me" age, children's party bags are all too often an environmental crime!
Plastic bags (which are suffocation hazards for both your child and wildlife - not to mention the amount of time they take to degrade) filled with cheap little plastic toys (which are easily broken, unloved and thrown in the dustbin by the time you get home) What a waste!
The good news is there is now an abundance of opportunities for imaginative and simple ways to incorporate a few creative items as children's party bag fillers into your children's party bags that will go a long way to make a big difference - plus it is a great example for our children and sets them up to naturally think creatively about how they can incorporate the mantra of the 3 R's into their life - reduce waste, re-use what they have and recycle more!
You can find a great selection of eco-friendly children's party bags and children's party bag fillers at www.littlecherry.co.uk; Choose a cotton drawstring party bag, which is fantastically useful after the party for jigsaw puzzles or small toys or if your budget doesn't stretch to that, choose paper children's party bags which can be recycled after the party.
Choose a couple of children's party bag toys which are made from sustainable wood and painted in non-toxic paints, how about a lovely wooden bracelet, some hair slides and hair bands for girls and a wooden toy car and whistle for boys? Little Cherry have a great selection of party bag fillers for all budgets. Add biodegradable latex balloons and pure cotton bunting for that party atmosphere!
If you are having a wedding or special event how about using our biodegradable, compostable palm leaf or bamboo plates? These stylish biodegradable plates and cutlery are much more elegant than paper plates.
So make an effort to be thoughtful when setting the example for your party and think in terms of future gain - let's set the trend for sustainable, eco-friendly and ethical children's party bags and stylish biodegradable plates.

Margaret E. Knight Born February 14 1838 - Died October 12 1914 Improvement in Paper-Bag Machines Margaret Knight invented a machine that could automatically cut, fold, and glue flat-bottomed paper bags. Knight's invention revolutionized the paper bag industry by replacing the work of thirty people with one machine.
Invention Impact Inventor Bio Born in York, Maine, Knight went to work in a New Hampshire textile mill following her father's death when she was still a child. After witnessing a serious accident caused by a malfunctioning loom, Knight was inspired to create her first invention, a safety device that became a standard fixture on looms. That device was the first of many technical innovations that would touch a wide range of industries.
