About Alton Kelley
As a founding member of the Family Dog, Kelley handled promotions for the events at the Avalon Ballroom, drawing posters and handbills. He soon met up with Stanley Mouse, and their association nurtured Kelley's success as an artist. Kelley had a natural talent for collage and a keen eye for culling and combining imagery and styles from diverse sources. Teamed with Mouse's drafting skill, collaborations became increasingly sophisticated, yet irreverent. Kelley always worked by hand, producing posters and other print graphics for a wide array of entertainment-oriented clients.

This home is brought to you by the studio out of San Francisco by the name of, Fougeron Architecture. The three-bedroom home is built on Big Sur's south coast all while being neatly nestled on the ocean landscape. The complex structure looks like something thought up in a dream, but it is entirely real. These photos of the Fall House simply do not justify its view, as it appears to be absolutely stunning.

Hi UU,
I am a teacher and will be using ukes to teach my general music classroom starting next year. I need to get 15 ukes plus cases (soft or hard doesn't matter, they will be stored in lockers in the classroom).
I'm looking for a high level of durability and playability (stays in tune at least decently, action isn't too high/low, etc.) for these instruments. My budget is roughly $1000 USD (a bit over wouldn't hurt).
EDIT: the tuning I'm looking for is high G sopranos.
I've looked into a few options, but want to see what you all would have in mind.

Will a fashion show disaster become a fashionable threesome?
When plus-size model Harper Evans takes a tumble from the runway, she falls right into the arms of a tall, gorgeous man with piercing blue eyes. No, make that two gorgeous men—Blue Eyes has a dark and handsome friend just as eager to find help for her sprained ankle. Too bad they're a couple. The billionaire ranchers are so sinfully hot—and sweet and charming and amusing—that Harper's afraid her heart might explode just looking at them. But as if the humiliation of falling isn't enough, she learns the fall has cost her her modeling contract, spelling the end of her career.
Owning a string of cattle ranches has its perks. For Jack Davis and his boyfriend, Andre Garcia, it means having the time and money to host charity events like the fashion show that tossed Harper into their arms. Both bisexual, Jack and Andre can't help falling for Harper—hard—and wanting the beautiful, caring woman in their lives. And in their bed. Too bad Harper doesn't believe a ménage relationship can last. Convincing her to take a chance on a threesome won't be easy. And when she loses her modeling contract to backstabbing and politicking, they find themselves caught in the crossfire. With their budding relationship in jeopardy, there's one thing Jack and Andre know for sure: when an angel falls into your arms, only a pair of fools would let her go...

Unfinished repairs+the beginning of the school=CHAOS! Life is not dull at all around here.
For instance.
Saturday, 9pm
I arrive home and ring the doorbell. Instead of my roommate, a man (a friend from church) lets me in, covered head to foot in grease and grime from working on the plumbing. My roommate is at the hardware store.
I can't find paper to print the handouts for Sunday school. more/-
My roommate arrives. She unrolls a large piece of paper to begin making a poster for Sunday school.
The other Sunday school teachers decide to start calling each other and editing major portions of the lesson. Could I type up the new version?
I found some old handouts...maybe I could print on the other side?
Our plumber friend is getting a taxi home. We have cold water, but no hot. The bathroom looks like a war zone.
It's past my bedtime. My roommate decides she isn't feeling well enough to go to church the next day, but is feeling well enough to keep talking. I retreat into my room and close the door.
My printer is slow...
Time to get some (warm) sleep under my new comforter. I wonder when the central heat will come on?
Sunday, 8:30 am
I'll get up and finish preparing for the Sunday school meeting. Or not...
8:45 am
I think I'll check my email...
9:00 am
I have to get dressed.
9:30 am
I have to leave. I'll read my notes in the metro?
10:00 am
The metro ride is too short...I'll have to wing it.
Sunday, 10:45 am
The service starts in 15 minutes. I pick up my flute, start to warm up, and...did I forget my scales? My flute is...broken? It is not sounding the notes that my fingers are playing.
Sunday, 10:55 am
There is no computer to project the words to the songs. But I don't know the words myself! Could we maybe pick some different ones? Or I'll just...use a cheat sheet....and pretend that those long pauses are on purpose and not the places where the flute solos were supposed to be.
Sunday, 5pm
Text message: Are you going to meet up with us?
Nope. I'm going to sit right here and enjoy the quiet for a moment :)
And try to fix my flute.
Sunday, 6pm
The plumber is back...

BOSTON – A Bridgewater man was sentenced yesterday for possessing more than 2000 images and videos of child pornography.
Kevin J. Balzarini, 38, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Rya W. Zobel to 36 months in prison and five years of supervised release. In December 2013, Balzarini pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.
An officer, acting in an undercover capacity, signed onto a peer-to-peer network and observed that Balzarini was offering files indicative of child pornography to share with network users. The officer requested and received an image containing child pornography. A search warrant was then executed at Balzarini's residence, where computer media containing more than 2000 images and videos of child pornography was seized. At the time of the search, Balzarini admitted to agents that he had been looking at child pornography for a number of years and stated that his interest was in children 13 years old and younger. Printed images of child pornography were recovered from Balzarini's bedroom, as well as a container of girls' underwear that Balzarini admitted he took from homes when he made deliveries as part of his employment.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Vincent B. Lisi, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division; Colonel Timothy P. Alben, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police; and Bridgewater Police Chief Christopher D. Delmonte, made the announcement today. The case was prosecuted by Eve A. Piemonte Stacey of Ortiz's Major Crimes Unit.

A little over a year ago, in my husband's and my college town, a man was involved in a confrontation at one of the local bars, and upon leaving the man he was in confrontation with attacked and ran him over with a large truck in the parking lot of this bar. The man that got run over was a Marine, just back from Afghanistan and out of the corp only a couple months earlier. He ended up making a full recover to my knowledge but was in very critical condition for quite a while. The 18 year old boy who attacked him was easily caught and is in prison now. When my husband and I found out about the incident we, like most of the community, were absolutely outraged. At this point (and for several following weeks) it did not look like this man was going to survive. My husband's angered response to the news was "He just survived hell for his country only to come back and lose it all because of some piece of shit 18 year old BOY!" The story broke many people's hearts including our own. The man had a wife, two kids, and a baby on the way at the time. This was right around Christmas and the Collegiate Veterans Association (a club my husband helped start at the local college while we were there) had been collecting money and helping the family since the incident occurred. When it got closer to Christmas my husband and I decided to send the family a Toys R Us gift card for the kids and a spa gift certificate for the mother (I'm sure she could've used a little stress relief whenever she finally got the chance to use it). We didn't put a return address or our names. We only knew them through mutual friends and peers, we've never actually met them. Sometimes I really wish I could've seen if it helped at all or how it made them feel, but I have never cared if they ever knew that we were the ones who did it. I was really proud of our community for how they responded to the incident. I am always so humbled by how much people can come together to help others during times of crisis, loving others without expecting anything in return is what humanity is meant to be about.

Happy Birthday Dear Jarhead..Here's a Nightmare for You
I open my eyes suddenly and its still dark outside, my breathing is short and my skin is damp in a cold sweat. It's eerily silent except for the dull puring of crickets outside the window. The only light in our room is from the blinking red numbers on my alarm clock. The power must've gone out at some point.
My eyes quickly adjust to the dark and I can make out everything in the rest of the room. The tall dresser in the corner, the rocking chair, the chest at the end of our bed, and the scattered pictures on the wall. My mind acutely alert as if I hadn't been deep in slumber just seconds earlier. I had a nightmare I'm sure, but like most of the others I can't recall it. Maybe this was my minds way of protecting my sanity, or maybe my head really was crippled.
T-B-I … Traumatic-Brain-Injury… P-T-S-D … Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder. THERE. How's that for memory exercises doc. As if on cue the anger and resentment fills me like a tidal wave. And then washes away leaving only the broken and scattered shell of a man, a dull aching depression and numbness. Anxiety still lingering in the shadows ever present and ready to jump out and strike at an moment. The rapidly clashing emotions within me leave me feeling broken and on edge.
"Baby are you ok?" Comes a sleep heavy voice from beneath the covers and I realize I've been sitting up on the edge of the bed.
I slide back and lay down beside my wife's petite frame, wrapping one arm behind her head as she snuggles into my side, already on her way back to dreamland.
"Yeah baby, just a bad dream go back to sleep..I love you." I try to keep my voice as even as possible, trying not to give away my anxiety and keep her awake in my suffering with me.
I must've fallen back asleep because the next thing I know I'm waking to light and I can hear a soft familiar voice speaking my name.
"Jake..Jake, wake up baby..I have breakfast for you." My wife is standing at the door of our bedroom in her robe with a plate of what smells like eggs and bacon, my favorite.
When she notices me stir and wake she takes that as her cue to come to me. She's a smart and sensitive woman, she knows how to wake me up without scaring me and potentially getting hurt. Something I wish she never had to think about.
I sit up as she crawls next to me and offers up the plate. I take it thankfully, but as I look down at it I realize I have no appetite. This was going to be a long day.
I know my wife must notice quickly when I'm having one of these days because she always does the exact right things. She doesn't push me and she's like an angel sent from heaven. The only person I care to have in my presence on days like today. Yet if she notices you couldn't tell by the way she acts. She doesn't act scared or timid around me like a lot of people, specifically significant others, might. She doesn't push me like she might otherwise but she doesn't act like anything's wrong or abnormal either. She's the only thing that makes me think I could be a "normal civilian" again sometimes. And when she acknowledges that I'm struggling with PTSD or having an episode its short simple and to the point. My wife is definitely not one to beat around the bush and I like that, especially in this situation. Other guys in my circumstance don't always like acknowledgment of their faults or ailments but I appreciate it. Then she leaves it alone after that, she's Incredibly caring and I know she worries, but she knows just when to keep it from me. She tells me I'm her knight in shining armor, her hero, and that I'm always there for her so it's the least she can do when I'm going through this. But this woman is my Angel, and I know I'm lucky cause I've seen how other wives can react to their husband's "symptoms".
I set the breakfast on the nightstand and kiss her softly. Her eyes tell me she knows, and understands.
"I made you some coffee too baby it's in the kitchen," she smiles.
"Thank you baby. You're amazing." I smile appreciatively.
"Are you ok?" She asks just for clarity but already knowing the answer.
"Yeah..I just had nightmares last night," I lean back against the headboard somehow still exhausted.
"Do you want to stay home today? We don't have to go to church." She genuinely offers. Always giving me the options I need on these days with no strings attached. She knows I'd be desperate and on the verge of a panic attack before Id ask for an out myself. The dull guilt still lingers but her assuring expression keeps me from feeling worse about it.
"Can we baby? I don't think I can face the world today..but you should go, see your family," I know ahead of time despite my wishes for her to go on with her life on these days she won't leave me. Not unless she truly knew I needed to be alone, and today wasn't one of those days. Today I could really use her comforting presence, but I wouldn't tell her that. I never wanted to hold her back. The guilt crept in a little deeper.
"Of course baby. I need to run to town and get groceries later but we'll stay home. I don't wanna go without you."
It was only a few minutes later I realized what day it was. November 10th, Marine Corp birthday. Great. This was really not shaping up to be a good day. The one day a year I could count for certain on being especially difficult to cope. The one day I missed the Corp and my brothers more than ever. The day I inevitably remembered everything without fail. I remembered what I couldn't have back, my injury, my bad dreams, and the real nightmares that haunted me. The one day I cherished deep in my heart like all Marines yet my soul could no longer bear.
My wife knew what day it was too but she purposefully avoided mentioning it every year, instead shed wait to throw in a "Happy birthday Marine" expertely disguised amongst "Happy Veterans days" and "I'm so proud of yous" tomorrow.
Veterans day was no problem for me. And I knew my faithful wife loved to honor me and our other veteran friends and family on that day. She was probably more patriotic than all of us combined. And the first time I told her I really didn't want any celebration on the 10th she was pretty disappointed. But she learned to understand as quickly as always.
She went back to the kitchen for the coffee, leaving me as requested for a moment to get myself together. I crawled out of bed and slumped into the living room. The depression almost too much to bear. I didn't even want to speak, let alone eat or drink. She sat my cup of coffee next to my chair and came to comfort me. Her small frame falling into my chest perfectly. I hugged her tight, a familiar anxiety washing over me that I might lose her to death.
"I love you." I choked out.
"I love you too Jake…You're my hero. And I love you."
I buried my head in her beautiful soft hair and let the single familiar tear slip out.
This isn't a real event but a fictional example of life with a combat veteran the way it may be described from their point of view (just based on what I've heard my husband express). I hope I captured what I wanted with this, and didn't describe it in a way that made the vet sound like a broken cry baby or something. My writing is fairly inexperienced and I may have failed miserably with this one. Writing never truly captures emotions as well as real life experience. I wanted to project a wounded warrior, one of the strongest persons we are surrounded by, struggling with the war inside their head. If you have any feedback on this please share!
Anyway. My husband has a hard time with the Marine Corp birthday just as described in the passage, although not every year does it look like this. This is, however, a description of some of the things he feels on mornings after nightmares. Obviously every veteran is different, and reactions and symptoms of PTSD and TBI are similar yet varying.
"People always …
"People always call me a hero, I'm no hero. To me a hero is someone who will take a stand for what is right. Whether it helps or hurts." – Edward E. Vezey Jr, 93 year old WWII veteran, anti aircraft gunner on the USS Oklahoma and Pearl Harbor survivor

Westcotes Rest Home – Statement of Purpose
Residents' Rights
We place the rights of residents at the forefront of our philosophy of care. We seek to advance these rights in all aspects of the environment and the services we provide and to encourage our residents to exercise their rights to the full.
We recognise that life in a communal setting and the need to accept help with personal tasks are inherently invasive of a resident's ability to enjoy the pleasure of being alone and undisturbed. We, therefore, strive to retain as much privacy as possible for our service users in the following ways.
- Giving help in intimate situations as discreetly as possible.
- Helping residents to furnish and equip their rooms in their own style and to use them as much as they wish for leisure, meals and entertaining.
- Offering a range of locations around the home for residents to be alone or with selected others.
- Providing locks on residents' storage space, bedrooms and other rooms in which residents need at times to be interrupted.
- Guaranteeing residents' privacy when using the telephone, opening and reading post and communicating with friends, relatives or advisors.
- Ensuring the confidentiality of information the home holds about residents.
Disabilities quickly undermine dignity, so we try to preserve respect for our service users' intrinsic value in the following ways.
- Treating each resident as a special and valued individual.
- Helping residents to present themselves to others, as they would wish through their own clothing, their personal appearance and their behaviour in public.
- Offering a range of activities that enables residents to express themselves as a unique individual.
- Tackling the stigma from which our residents may suffer through age, disability or status.
- Compensating for the effects of disabilities which residents may experience on their communication, physical functioning, mobility or appearance.
We are aware that our service users have given up a good deal of their independence in entering a group living situation. We regard it as all the more important to foster our service users' remaining opportunities to think and act without reference to another person in the following ways.
- Providing as tactfully as possible human or technical assistance when it is needed.
- Maximising the abilities our residents retain for self-care, for independent interaction with others, and for carrying out the tasks of daily living unaided.
- Helping residents take reasonable and fully thought-out risks.
- Promoting possibilities for residents to establish and retain contacts beyond the home.
- Using any form of restraint on residents only in situations of urgency when it is essential for their own safety or the safety or others.
- Encouraging residents to have access to and contribute to the records of their own care.
We aim to provide an environment and structure of support which responds to the need for security in the following ways.
- Offering assistance with tasks and in situations that would otherwise be perilous for residents.
- Protecting residents from all forms of abuse and from all possible abusers.
- Providing readily accessible channels for dealing with complaints by residents.
- Creating an atmosphere in the home which residents experience as open, positive and inclusive.
Civil rights
Having disabilities and residing in a home can all act to deprive our service users of their rights as citizens. We, therefore, work to maintain our service users' place in society as fully participating and benefiting citizens in the following ways.
- Ensuring that residents have the opportunity to vote in elections and to brief themselves fully on the democratic options.
- Preserving for residents full and equal access to all elements of the National Health Service.
- Helping residents to claim all appropriate welfare benefits and social services.
- Assisting residents' access to public services such as libraries, further education and lifelong learning.
- Facilitating residents in contributing to society through volunteering, helping each other and taking on roles involving responsibility within and beyond the home.
We aim to help service users exercise the opportunity to select from a range of options in all aspects of their lives in the following ways.
- Providing meals which enable residents as far as possible to decide for themselves where, when, and with whom they consume food and drink of their choice.
- Offering residents a range of leisure activities from which to choose.
- Enabling residents to manage their own time and not be dictated to by set communal timetables.
- Avoiding wherever possible treating residents as a homogeneous group.
- Respecting individual, unusual or eccentric behaviour in residents.
- Retaining maximum flexibility in the routines of the daily life of the home.
We want to help our service users to realise personal aspirations and abilities in all aspects of their lives. We seek to assist this in the following ways.
- Informing ourselves as fully as each resident wishes about their individual histories and characteristics.
- Providing a range of leisure and recreational activities to suit the tastes and abilities of all residents, and to stimulate participation.
- Responding appropriately to the personal, intellectual, artistic and spiritual values and practices of every resident.
- Respecting our residents' religious, ethnic and cultural diversity.
- Helping our residents to maintain existing contacts and to make new liaisons, friendships, and personal or sexual relationships if they wish.
- Attempting always to listen and attend promptly to any resident's desire to communicate.
Quality Care
We wish to provide the highest quality of care, and to do this we give priority to a number of areas relating to the operation of the home and the services we provide.
Choice of home
We recognise that every prospective resident should have the opportunity to choose a home which suits their needs and abilities. To facilitate that choice and to ensure that our residents know precisely what services we offer, we will do the following.
- Provide detailed information on the home by publishing a statement of purpose and a detailed service user guide.
- Give each resident a contract or a statement of terms and conditions specifying the details of the relationship.
- Ensure that every prospective resident has their needs expertly assessed before a decision on admission is taken.
- Demonstrate to every person about to be admitted to the home that we are confident that we can meet their needs as assessed.
- Offer introductory visits to prospective residents and avoid unplanned admissions except in cases of emergency.
Personal and health care
We draw on expert professional guidelines for the services the home provides. In pursuit of the best possible care we will do the following.
- Produce with each resident, regularly update, and thoroughly implement a service user plan of care, based on an initial and then continuing assessment.
- Seek to meet or arrange for appropriate professionals to meet the health care needs of each resident.
- Establish and carry out careful procedures for the administration of residents' medicines.
- Take steps to safeguard residents' privacy and dignity in all aspects of the delivery of health and personal care.
- Treat with special care residents who are dying, and sensitively assist them and their relatives at the time of death.
It is clear that service users may need care and help in a range of aspects of their lives.
To respond to the variety of needs and wishes of service users, we will do the following.
- Aim to provide a lifestyle for residents which satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs.
- Help residents to exercise choice and control over their lives.

Focus on service users
We want everything we do in the home to be driven by the needs, abilities and aspirations of our residents, not by what staff, management or any other group would desire. We recognise how easily this focus can slip and we will remain vigilant to ensure that the facilities, resources, policies, activities and services of the home remain resident-led.
Fitness for purpose
We are committed to achieving our stated aims and objectives and we welcome the scrutiny of our service users and their representatives.
We aim to provide a total range of care, in collaboration with all appropriate agencies, to meet the overall personal and health care needs and preferences of our residents.

According to Census 2011, female literacy rate in India is 65.46%. This is significantly lower than male literacy rate of 82.14%. Over the past few years, the gap between male and female literacy rates has been narrowing down. However, there is still a long way to go when it comes to ensuring equal female and male literacy rates in India.
Education plays a very important role in women empowerment. It enables women to change their lives and provide better guidance to their children. Educated women can contribute to the growth and development of the country. Here are some of the reasons why women education in India is so important:
1. Reduced Trafficking
Illiteracy is one of the major causes of human trafficking. Poor and uneducated women are more vulnerable to trafficking and sexual exploitation. Education provides them the knowledge and skills that make it easier for such women to gain economic freedom. This in turn also prevents them from falling prey to human traffickers.
2. Small Families
Women education plays a key role in reducing family sizes. Researches show that educated women usually have less number of children. More school participation leads to reduced fertility rates. In India, where rapidly growing population is still a concern, women education is something that can't be simply overlooked.
3. More Representation in Politics
As is the case in most countries, women are underrepresented in the Indian Parliament. There is a need to increase women representation in politics. Women education can help them in being more informed about everything around, thereby being able to turn into better leaders of tomorrow.
4. Reduced Poverty
Education leads to economic empowerment of women. It makes it easier for them to get a good job and make a living. This increases the income of the family and reduces poverty. In India where a large number of people live below the poverty line, women education is indeed very important.
5. Awareness
It's only with education that women can be made aware of their rights. For many centuries, women suffered inequality and were confined to the four walls of their home in the Indian society. Today, they have many rights and it's important for them to be aware of these rights. An educated woman not just knows her rights but also knows how to protect them.
In recent decades, several steps have been taken to boost women education in India. However, there are still many problems and obstacles that should be removed to increase the literacy rate of women all around the country.

So, what are the alternatives:
But how to install? Well, it needs to be compiled and then installed. Found the process here on an Apple Forum 3rd one down. He states:
After this you can install PureFTPd Manager which should provide you with a GUI, although it states it works for OS X 10.6. Apparently works for 10.7.find /usr/local -type f -name 'pure-*' | tar -czf pure-ftpd_backup.tgz -T -tar xzf pure-ftpd-1.0.32.tar.gzcd pure-ftpd-1.0.32./configure --with-everything --with-tls --with-certfile=/etc/pure-ftpd/ssl/pure-ftpd.pem --sysconfdir=/etc/pure-ftpd/ --with-sysquotas --mandir /usr/local/man --with-pam --with-virtualchroot --with-peruserlimits --with-ldap --with-rfc2640makesudo make install-stripcd ..rm -r pure-ftpd-1.0.32.tar.gz pure-ftpd-1.0.32
Seems to work alright, although I'll have to read up about changing ports and setting up sftp stuff

Networking: The Physical Connection
A network is a way to connect two or more devices together so that they can exchange information. In order to make this work, each device must know when another is trying to connect to it and it must know how to reply. The network consists of a whole suite of protocols to make this work. A protocol is just a set of rules that each device uses to communicate with other devices.
At the most basic level is the wire used to make the physical connection. In most cases this will designed for an "Ethernet" type physical network. Fiber optic cable is just a single wire so it's kind of boring to talk about but it offers the highest speeds. Wireless connections use a radio receiver/transmitter to create the "physical" connection so that no cable is used at all. Wireless speeds are limited by distance and obstacles in the transmission path but wireless networks are getting better every month. The most common is a cable containing 8 wires arranged as 4 pairs. This kind of cable (Unshielded Twisted Pair, UTP) is rated according to its reliability at various transmission speeds. Typically the minimum is rated Category 5 with most new installation rated as Category 5e or Category 6.
Once the medium (cable, wireless, fiber, etc.) is installed, there are other rules that determine how it will connect to the devices on the network. Fiber will use connectors called either ST or SC type, copper cable (say Cat 5e) will use RJ45 type connectors and wireless will use no connectors at all. When the transmission medium is in place and the connectors properly installed, the network is almost ready.
What is needed next is the circuitry required to process whatever is transmitted over the network "wire". This is typically called a Network Interface Card or NIC (nick). You'll attach the physical network cable to the NIC and the circuitry there will handle all movement of data to and from the wire and pass the data to the device's processing circuitry (a computer CPU for instance). So the NIC is just what it says it is: An interface to the network.
A NIC can do lots of things but, at the most basic level of operation it will determine what kind of network is being used. In almost every case this will be an ethernet network. Ethernet is another set of protocols that regulates what kind of network "wire" is used, how it is terminated (the kind of connectors it uses) and how the NICs will "talk" to each other. The "talking" part is another element of the ethernet protocol and requires that each NIC have a unique identifier. This identifier is a number called the NIC's Media Access Control ( MAC ) number and it looks like this:
Each MAC number is an address that will only point to one NIC; it is entirely unique and each NIC manufacturer has a reserved block of these addresses . With that address an ethernet network can always find any other device on the network.
The next thing ethernet does is to create "packets" of data. These packets will contain the address of the originating NIC and the NIC to which it wants to communicate along with some other control data and add the data that is to be actually used on the other end (the payload). Once that packet is assembled, the NIC will dump that packet onto the wire. In some networks the devices wanting to communicate will share the wire with other devices.
If there are more than two devices sharing the wire it's possible for the packets one NIC dumps on the wire to conflict with another NIC's packets. This is called a collision. If there's a collision, each NIC will stop transmitting for a random length of time and then try again. The "backoff time" is random so that one of the competing NICs has a better chance of using the wire without another collision. All of this makes a ethernet network a "shared network" that "senses" the presence of other NICs (by their packets on the wire), that can detect collisions and can correct the collision condition (by backing off). Newer network installations don't have this problem simply because they don't actually share the wire. More on this elsewhere (if you're still awake).
All of that is pretty much a basic network using the ethernet protocol. However, you can't really do anything since you have no way to tell the networked device how to get on the wire or what to do with stuff you may have pulled off the wire. There are ethernet packets bouncing around out there but no one knows what to do with them. Must be time for another protocol.
TCP is the "Transmission Control Protocol" and is used to manage the ethernet packets. TCP will provide and input and output channel for the data on the ethernet network so devices on either end can pass along their payloads and do useful work. There are quite a few TCP applications (programs) available: ftp, telnet, mail, etc. TCP will allow you to exchange data between devices on the network. But this exchange is for devices on the same ethernet network only. There is no way to communicate with devices on other networks. Time for another protocol.
IP, the "Internet Protocol", is used to move packets between networks. This protocol get complicated early and gets worse. IP has no interest in what kind of network you are connected to; it doesn't have to be ethernet. It also has no interest in the kind of data being moved or by which application or by which device. All IP cares about is what network the packet came from and what network it's going to. IP is all about networks and not about network devices.
IP will take a packet of data generated by a TCP application (for instance) and then wrapped in an ethernet packet and wrap it (encapsulate it) again in its own packet. An IP packet will have all the other stuff but will add the source and destination information of the networks from which it came and to which it is headed. Here again we're talking about networks not the individual device. IP manages this by adding its own unique number describing the network it's talking to. This number is called an IP address and it looks like this:
This IP address is called a "Dotted Decimal Quad". Why? Well the are four numbers (the Quad part), separated by "dots" (the period character) and these numbers are base 10 (decimal). The numbers between the "dots" are also called octets because they represent 8 binary digits (bits) or one byte . Since there are four octets the total address is 32 bits long (for IP Version 4 networking). The IP protocol assigns the left-most octets to networks. The size of the network (the number of addresses it can have) is determined by how many bits from the left we want to use. In the example above the normal network assignment would be the first three octets,
as the network and the remaining octet,
as a specific device on that particular network. The IP packet only has to find the network, 192.168.0 to satisfy the IP protocol. Once the packet has found the right network, the IP part of the whole transaction is complete. Once it's gotten this far, the packet can be stripped of its IP information and dumped onto the ethernet wire.
Even so the IP addressing scheme is still being used because it must be translated into an ethernet MAC address. To get this to work, each device on the ethernet network will also have an IP address in addition to its ethernet MAC address. The IP address 192.168.0.100 directs the packet to network 192.168.0 and then it has to be sent to the specific device on the ethernet network having the IP address 100. This requires an intermediary device that understands how to translate the IP address into a specific ethernet MAC address. This device is the NIC.
A router is what makes the IP protocol possible. Without it there is no way to pass packets between networks. A router will receive an IP packet and examine the source and destination information that the IP protocol has stuck onto the beginning of the ethernet packet. If the address is "local" it means that it's not leaving the network at all so the router just ignores it. A local packet will stay on its own ethernet network until a device on that same network picks it up. IP addressing has no relevance in this case.
If a packet is destined for another, remote, network, the router will examine the destination IP address to see if it knows how to reach that other network. If it does it just sends it on. If not it will send it to another router somewhere and that router will go through the same search. Each network will go through a router so the routers only talk to each other and not to the actual devices on local networks. When a router receives a packet for one of the networks connected directly to it, it passes that packet to that network and its work is finished for that packet. The router
To get to that ultimate device on the local network that device must also have an IP address. In this address assignment, the IP address is really not used for IP routing; it's just a convenience to help locate the device. IP addressing exists to route packets between network, not within networks. Giving a device an IP address just gives the overall addressing scheme some consistency.
What is happening is that the router dumps the remote packet on the ethernet network and the ethernet protocol just blasts that packet over the wire until some device picks it up. At this time the packet is still wrapped in the IP packet format. Each NIC on each device will unwrap that packet and examine the destination address. Since each NIC has its own unique MAC address that corresponds to the IP address that was assigned to it, it compares the fixed MAC to the IP address and, if they match, the NIC knows that the packet is addressed to it.
The point in assigning an IP address to a NIC is to create a way to translate between the two methods of addressing a packet: MAC and IP. The IP part is handy because we're already using IP to route packets to other network so why not continue that addressing scheme all the way down to the NIC? The reality is that IP addressing was developed to route packets to other networks and not within the same network. IP is used within a network only to map IP addresses to MAC addresses so it's really not routing and therefore not really IP in the sense of the original spec (Internet routing Protocol). A small and totally unimportant distinction.

CD Details
The second of back-to-back solo albums cut in the early '80s, The Brightest Smile in Town presents a more balanced mix of vocal and instrumental tracks than its predecessor, Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack. While it's fun to hear the great New Orleans pianist romp through "Box Car Boogie" and patiently work his way through the twilight blues of "Pretty Libby," the unexpected treats are the best: a heartsick version of Jimmy Rodgers's "Waiting for a Train;" a Doc Pomus cover, "Average Kind of Guy," that sounds like Randy Newman on a particularly good day; and "Marie La Veau," a highly syncopated bow to one of the Crescent City's many voodoo queens. By the time Rebennack ends Brightest Smile with two gorgeous instrumentals--a lovely take on Harold Arlen's "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "Suite Home New Orleans"--you're reminded just how encyclopedic his knowledge of American music is. --Keith Moerer

A Classic From The Good Doctor!!
email@example.com | Murray, Kentucky | 01/05/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Dr. John's "The Brightest Smile In Town," is one of the finest works he has ever produced! The good doctor never sounded any better with his classy piano playing and his unmistakable voice! My favorite tracks are "Pretty Libby" and "Average Kind of Guy," a song that alot of us can relate to! The best thing about this CD is that it flows naturally and easily, and it has a feel good quality underlying it all the way. The Night Tripper shows his extensive talents with this work, I recommend this to all fans of the Good Doctor and to music lovers everywhere!"
Excellent Boogie
Mad Dog | TimbuckThree, Tennessee | 01/04/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Overall, I prefer "Dr John Plays Mac Rebennack" slightly to this set, but both are winners. On "Average Kind of Guy", Dr. John sings:"Overworked and underpaid
Underloved and overlaid
I'm just an average kind of guy"Killer stuff. Average, he is not. He's one of those musicians that really must be seen to be fully appreciated and for that, I recommend the New Orleans Jazz Festival. But to get back to this record, if you love piano blues and jazz, you'll love this album and be sure to check out "Plays Mac Rebennack" too."

BIFL Request luxury accessories What are some great accessories This is a subreddit emphasizing products that are Durable, Practical, Proven, and Made oakley sunglasses 24.
99 to Last. Products that are well made and durable (even if they won last a lifetime) are accepted. When posting about a product, make sure it still available for purchase, or a similar product is still available from that brand, and include a product name. After all, this is Buy It For Life. Requests should begin their titles with [Request]. Use the search bar and check the sidebar/wiki before making a request. Low effort requests will be removed. Requests should include your budget (if any), products you have already searched, and how you primarily be using the product. No referral codes or affiliate links. /r/BuyItForLife is not a place to advertize your business. Want to advertize on Reddit? Start here. When it comes to items that go into an EDC kit or items that you use on a daily basis, I have noticed that the mantra of oakley eye jacket "you get what you pay for" is true. Often, oakley eyewear this can mean that a product will be classified as a "luxury item". For example: a Rolex, Omega, or Longines watch that you will get passed onto your grandchildren, albiet it will require servicing. The watch will outlast you. I work in a professional setting, and I often find myself rubbing elbows with wealthy people who are the type that aren cheap and hate to be wasteful. They BIFL and learn what to buy through word of mouth. I gleaned a few thinfs from them and i learned the following: quality leather handbags, satchels, cases are well worth spending good money on since they can be repaired. leather soled shoes, quality shoes are taken to a cobbler frequently. I met quite a few men that carry cash on hand and use money clips. I tried a few and landed on the koolstof money clip. It can easily fit a large wad, but snaps back when only carrying a few ones. A beautifully crafted quality set will last a lifetime. A dressy raincoat or nice umbrella is another great piece to have. If its shitty out and if you still have to look good, you be dry and fashionable too! To add, maybe a nice pair of rainboots or duckies or. Boats for you men, and your dress shoes (rubber moulds that go around your dress/business shoes). I also say a great travel mug or a nice thermos. They can be hard to come by, especially if you looking for something particular like flip top or double walled. A good quality pair of tweezers in your preferred tip finished, or hell its good to have a variety, slanted, needle, squared. A nice average sized backpack can also be a great everyday/whatever bag. Take it to the gym, take it to work, take it to a friends for the weekend whatever, no one will called you lame for bringing your "manbag" haha! Thats all I got, the only other idea I had was a good map of your local and surrounding areas. Your face/glasses are the first thing a person sees when they meet you. Check out oliver peoples, mykita, wolfgang okly sunglasses proksch, dita etc. Shell cordovan boots/shoes.
A quality wool topcoat. Honestly though, if money was not an issue for me I feel like keeping up with the latest technology products and splurging on good food would have a bigger impact on my quality of life than overspending for luxury leather goods/luggage/fancy key fobs. Spend a lot on shoes, watches and eyewear and spend the rest on people: food, entertainment, travel.

THOMPSON-OKANAGAN – The people who work at in hospital laundries in our region will be joined by supporters at a number of rallies tomorrow.
The Hospital Employees Union is fighting the proposed privatization of the laundry service in 11 communities throughout the Interior Health Authority. It says the plan could mean the loss of about 175 jobs which pay $18 to $20 an hour.
In November 2015, new Interior Health president and CEO Chris Mazurkewich delayed a decision on the contracting out the service in order to give him more time to work with a review team before making a recommendation to the board of directors.
Mazurkewich said a decision would be coming before March 2016 and the board of directors has a meeting Tuesday, March 1.
While Interior Health is looking to save money by contracting out the service, the union sees no business case to justify the move.
"There has been tremendous support and a huge public outcry," union spokesperson Jennifer Whiteside says in a media release. "We're hoping Interior Health makes the right decision and shows a commitment to protect a quality public health service and decent jobs in these communities."
The union is holding protests tomorrow, Feb. 29, in six southern Interior communities including Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton, 100 Mile House and Nelson.

Leadership Hendricks County announces executive transitionJune 18, 2012 No comments
The Leadership Hendricks County Board of Directors is preparing for a transition in its own leadership. Executive Director Suzanne Whicker has announced that she will retire from that role this year.
The Board has begun the process of searching for a successor, and will announce the timetable in the near future. Board President Kathy Duffer explained that Mrs. Whicker's association with LHC will continue.
"Suzanne has been an integral part of this organization since the very first class, and we're excited to know that she'll play a role throughout and after this transition."
Mrs. Whicker was a participant in the inaugural LHC class in 1993, and the board asked her to become the organization's Executive Director in 1994. She has served in that position since then, leading more than 380 adult participants through the community leadership development program.
She also managed the introduction of two additional programs, Youth Leadership Hendricks County and Youth Encouraging Philanthropy, which have shared leadership skills with more than 440 local high school students.
"You cannot look at a company, non-profit organization, high school, or government body in Hendricks County without seeing Suzanne's influence,"
Duffer added. "Her dedication to this program, and her ongoing efforts to make it better each year, have been critical to our success and to the overall effectiveness of our county's leadership."
Mrs. Whicker had considered retirement for some time, but admitted that the decision wasn't easy. "I love my job, the people and this program; and will miss the day-to-day involvement," she said. "But I have complete confidence in the board's ability to identify someone who will bring the dedication and enthusiasm our participants and communities deserve. It's like watching your children become successful adults.
While you're sad to see them leave the nest, you know that you've contributed to what they've accomplished and are so very proud of them."
She also commented, "I'm retiring while I'm still healthy and able to travel and do some of the things I kept putting off."

text: John Terry, footballing legend and Chelsea hero, graduated from Chelsea youth academy to become an international star. His imposing strength, natural skill and bulldog spirit have made him the backbone of both Chelsea and England's staunch defences.Born in London, and raised through the Chelsea youth teams, Terry's extraordinary talent soon had him replacing World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf to become a first team favourite amongst the Stamford Bridge faithful. But Terry's progress has not all been plain sailing. In 2002, when he was on the verge of realising his dream of playing for England after some outstanding displays in the under-21 team, he was involved in an incident outside a nightclub. With his career in the balance, Terry battled back and, having been cleared of any charges, he became stronger than ever before.Now an indomitable force in the national side, Terry was a fundamental figure in England's 2006 World Cup campaign, and one of the few players actually to enhance his reputation in the tournament. Handed the captain's armband under Jose Mourinho's inspirational new regime, backed by Roman Abramovich's formidable buying power, Terry is proof that some qualities simply can't be bought. A bid from rivals Manchester City in 2009 would lead nowehere: Terry is Chelsea through and through.Leading the Blues to win the FA Cup in 2009, along with back-to-back Premiership titles from 2004-2006, Terry's immense leadership skills have earned him the respect of his fellow pros and fans alike. Having also been presented with the ultimate honour of captaining his country through the 2010 World Cup, Chelsea and England's world class stopper is sure to be giving strikers sleepless nights for years to come.
