VMware's Casado: Network Virtualization The Right Way
Posted by
Susan Fogarty
April 07, 2014
To some, the term "network virtualization" might seem like the latest version of "cloud" – a technology that can do it all, evoked by vendors to allow them to sell more products or expand market share. But listening to Martin Casado, CTO of networking at VMware, explain the use cases for network virtualization at Interop -- and seeing the reaction of the audience -- the possibilities seem very real.
VMware is no slouch when it comes to innovative technology, but it owes much of its success in the networking arena to Casado, the man who authored the OpenFlow protocol and founded Nicira, which VMware acquired and used as the basis for its NSX platform.
Casado explained that the industry is getting hung up on the wrong points when it comes to network virtualization: "We in the community have been a little bit confused with this whole discussion around SDN and missed some very important trends." He said he was happy to see so many different products coming to market but indicated that these are just scraping the surface of what could be accomplished.
He stressed that enterprises should be emulating mega data centers, which have modified their operations to do things like load balancing and security as applications, rather than directly in the network. In these data centers, the physical network provides only basic services, such as point-to-point connectivity, packet replication, priority-based QoS, and unified latency. "Data centers that are built this way are by far the most scalable and successful data centers on the planet, full stop," Casado emphasized. "In those data centers, the network does almost nothing."
Casado compared network virtualization's evolution to that of server virtualization, which caught on for mundane jobs such as server consolidation and consolidation but quickly became leveraged for far more advanced use cases. So far, network virtualization has been used in enterprises to improve agility and provisioning time. But this is shifting to broader use cases that will have even more impact on IT and businesses.
On Interop's keynote stage, Casado and VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger spoke about using network virtualization to solve the security issues that plague IT, a topic Casado broached at the RSA Conference in February. Some of the attendee response to this was an automatic dismissal at VMware's apparent land grab at the security market, but those I spoke to who paid attention to the details found the concept intriguing.
Casado views security as the most emergent use case for network virtualization, predicting, "security will actually cause network virtualization to cross the chasm." In a typical network, if a hacker breaks into a server or networked device, they have access to all shared services. Network virtualization provides a primitive that enforces least privilege, which limits the attack surface.
The other use case Casado recommended for network virtualization was improving network visibility and debugging, which currently operates at the level of "junk computer science." A typical packet trace tells administrators almost nothing after any significant time has lapsed.
"It's a very difficult problem to get a consistent view of a big distributed system like a network. But network virtualization requires you to solve that problem," Casado explained. Virtualization can allows full packet attribution across the global network, which can provide network managers with a wealth of troubleshooting information.
Casado refrained from talking about VMware's plans, or how the company might approach products in these areas. Instead, he focused on the big picture, and had infrastructure practitioners nodding their heads along with him when he said, "The right way to build a data center is the way new data centers are built today. The physical network is just a forwarding fabric."

After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said to her, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl."
"Now…we have an $800,000 home, a $65,000 car, a nice big bed and a large-screen TV, but I am now sleeping with sleeping with a 73-yearl old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of the bargain."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed, and watching a 10-inch black and white TV again.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems.
And thanks to my friend, DC, for the joke.

It's been a couple of months since we've seen any new issues from Gemstone Publishing, and news of upcoming issues has been scarce at best, leading many to believe that something unfortunate may be going on behind the scenes. And while we still await official news of exactly what will happen in the months to come it appears (courtesy of the Disney Comics Mailing List) that Diamond Distributors has canceled the recently solicited issues, including the "Free Comic Book Day" offering, Gemstone's site now emphasizes back issue sales, and the same DCML source reports that Disney comics are being "re-thought."
I have really, really enjoyed what Gemstone has brought us over the last 7-8 years (an understatement to say the least) so I hope the best for Gemstone, Geppi & Co. and that we certainly haven't seen the last of quality titles like the Eisner Award-winning Uncle Scrooge, The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck collections, etc.
I'll be sure to post more information as it becomes available.

Here are a couple of registry values you can tweak if you are sending messages over a high latency network like the Internet.
The first two are for setting the TCP receive window which is the number of bytes a sender can transmit without receiving an acknowledgment.
In general, larger receive windows will improve performance over networks that combine both high latency with a lot of bandwidth.
Caution: Using a TCP Window size that maximises bandwidth utilisation will do just that - It will maximise bandwidth utilisation! If the link is shared with other hosts, the other less aggressive hosts could see a significant drop in performance. One solution might be to divide the window size by the number of hosts that might use the connection simultaneously and then divide that number in half.
Enlarge TCP Window Size
The capacity of a pipe is the bandwidth multiplied by round-trip delay time. If the link is reliable then for best performance the window size should be greater than or equal to the capacity of the pipe.
Enable Window Scaling
To improve performance on high-bandwidth, high delay networks, RFC 1323 support has been introduced. This RFC details a method for supporting scalable windows by allowing TCP to negotiate a scaling factor for the window size at connection establishment. A window size of 65535 is the largest that can be specified due to its 16-bit field in the TCP header but larger Windows can be negotiated by using window scaling. This allows for an actual receive window of up to 1 gigabyte (GB). Both sides of the link must be configured to support window scaling.
- Windows CE uses window scaling automatically if the TcpWindowSize registry entry is set to a value greater than 64Kbytes.
- This option is an offer, not a promise; both sides must send Window Scale options in their SYN segments to enable window scaling in either direction. Tcp1323Opts should be set on both sender and receiver sides
The next value is MSMQ-specific.
Enlarge MSMQ Send Window Size
MSMQ sends message over internet in pipeline mode. From HTTP/HTTPS messages:
Sending a new request before finishing reading all the responses from previous requests is called pipelining. Because proxies do not always support pipelining and because IIS HTTPS currently does not support it, HTTPS pipelining is disabled by default. To modify default pipelining behavior, create the DWORD registry entries, HttpPipeLine and HttpsPipeline, under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters registry key. When these entries are set to 1, pipelining is enabled for the respective protocol. By default, HTTP delivery works in pipeline mode, while HTTPS delivery does not. After setting the registry, restart the Message Queuing service for the changes to take effect.
That is, a new packet is sent without waiting for the acknowledgements to return from sending the previous one. In addition to the TCP\IP flow control performed by the receiver, MSMQ controls the flow from the sender using a sliding windows algorithm. The following registry entry has been added to regulate the size of the send window:
Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Default: 200000
To set this value and so optimize performance over high-latency connections, you need to know the network bandwidth and the round trip delay time (RTT):
SendWindowinBytes >= NetworkBandwidth (in bytes\sec) * RTT (in sec)
Example: for a 100 Mbit/sec network with a 0.8 sec RTT the following value could be used:
SendWindowInBytes = (100,000,000 / 8 ) * 0.8 = 10,000,000
The bandwidth is divided by 8 to convert BITS to BYTES.

Trial strategy: Laying a foundation when asking a witness questions
Objection! No foundation. Learn why the defense attorney yells this out during trial
Objection! No foundation. Learn why the defense attorney yells this out during trial
Your Doctor is Testifying. He's Saying Things You BELIEVE are UNTRUE. If You Yell OUT That Your Doctor is a Liar in the Middle of Trial, Will That Help Your Medical Malpractice Case?
You sued your doctor.
For medical malpractice.
You claim he was careless.
You claim his carelessness caused you injury.
You also claim your injuries are significant and permanent.
Your doctor says "NONSENSE!"
Your doctor claims he did nothing wrong.
Your doctor says he treated you within the standards of good medical care.
He then claims that even if he did something wrong, so did you.
He then argues that if he did something wrong, whatever he did not cause your injuries.
Then he argues that even if he did something wrong that caused you harm, your injuries are not as bad as you claim.
Since the defense disputes every part of your claim, that means you are going to trial.
It means the defense refuses to negotiate.
It means the defense will never settle your case.
So now you're at trial.
Your lawyer calls your doctor to the witness stand as his first witness.
Your lawyer begins to cross examine him.
During the course of cross-examination, your doctor says something that infuriates you.
Your doctor is wrong!
He's lying through his teeth.
You know he doesn't want to be held accountable for his actions.
Your doctor is lying!
He put his hand on the bible.
He swore to tell the truth.
But he's lying.
You know it.
You immediately scream out from the back of the courtroom "YOU'RE LYING! ADMIT IT!"
The judge yells at you to be quiet.
The judge instructs the jury to disregard your outburst.
The judge is not pleased.
Your doctor...the one you sued is unfazed.
A few minutes later, the doctor replies to another question from your attorney.
This time, you cannot control yourself.
You stand up and start screaming at the doctor "YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU ARE A LIAR! STOP TELLING THE JURY THESE LIES! WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU!"
The judge bangs his gavel.
The jury starts murmuring to themselves.
The judge points his finger at you and tells you to be quiet and sit down.
The judge yells at you and tells you that if there's one more outburst he's going to throw you out of the courtroom and not let you back in.
The judge tells your lawyer that he better do something to stop you from these continued outbursts.
You know, in your heart of hearts, that your doctor has lied multiple times.
The jury doesn't know what you know yet.
The jury only knows what they've heard in court up till now.
Which isn't very much.
They don't know the full story yet.
They don't know why you are so outraged that your doctor testified the way he did.
The jury is now questioning your credibility.
The jury does not understand why you are so upset.
Do you think you scored any points with the jury because of your multiple outbursts?
The reality is that you did not.
Especially when they don't know all the facts of your case yet.
The jury is at slight disadvantage this early on in your case.
They have only heard opening arguments from your lawyer and the defense lawyer.
Your attorney has called your doctor as his first witness.
That means they've not yet heard your testimony.
That means they have not been able to reach their own conclusions about whether your doctor is telling the truth.
You will find that the best trial attorneys create different strategies to show a witness is being less than truthful.
There are different tactics an attorney can use to expose different lies.
One tactic can be to show discrepancies between what your doctor said during his pretrial question and answer session and what he's said here at trial.
The moment you begin disrupting the trial, you make it more difficult for your attorney to effectively show those contradictions.
You make it difficult for the jury to believe what you have to say.
The jury inherently knows that the issues are disputed.
They know that your doctor does not agree with your claims that he was careless and caused you harm.
They know that from watching TV courtroom dramas.
They know that from from the movies.
They know that from participating in jury selection.
They know that from listening to opening arguments in your case.
They also know that when you get up testify your version of the events will likely be different than what your doctor has already said.
It will ultimately be up to the jury to determine what the real facts are.
In case you didn't know, the jury is the real fact finder here.
They're the ones to decide who is telling the truth and who is not.
Not the judge.
The judge makes rulings of law.
He decides what evidence gets admitted and what questions can be asked.
The judge controls what goes on in the courtroom and which witnesses will testify.
The jury decides whether you are more likely right than wrong.
I understand it's frustrating to sit in the back of the courtroom watching your trial unfold listening to witnesses who are being less than truthful.
You get this visceral gut reaction where you want to stand up and shout out to the entire world that the witness is lying.
As much as you want to let your attorney know this and as much as you want to let the judge and jury know this, the better practice is not to jump up and start yelling and screaming.
Instead, let your attorney do what he's trained to do.
Let your attorney know during a break about certain points that you believe your doctor has lied about.
In his own way, your attorney will show and highlight those contradictions.
Remember, credibility is the key in any civil lawsuit.
In addition, you will find that the best trial lawyers do not hit the witness over the head with an obvious contradiction.
Let's say that your attorney has just shown that your doctor has lied.
You do not want to call further attention to it.
You leave it alone.
He's made his point.
Now move on.
A young, novice attorney may feel the jury needs to hear about this contradiction over and over again.
"Doctor, I didn't hear what you said. Can you repeat it again, nice and loud so the jury can hear it?"
"Doctor, I'm not sure the court reporter heard you. Would you please repeat your answer so she has correctly recorded it?"
The jury gets it.
They understand.
So let's get back to the headline of this article.
Does it do you any good to scream out your frustration and tell the entire court that your doctor is a lying SOB?
None at all.
In fact, it will likely hurt your credibility and show that you are on the verge of being unhinged and cannot control yourself.
Better practice is to let your lawyer do his job.
He'll get to it.
One question at a time.

If you auction them on ebay someone would purchase these oil paintings, they would match someone's taste I am sure. Otherwise, try Freecycle in your local area, you can put the pic on there and someone will come pick them up from you, then, if you need something for your place, you can ask for something, like a table lamp, or a desk, or something like that.

Mubarak to review modernization plans
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will hold a ministerial meeting soon to review the nation's modernization plans as part of an association agreement with the European Union, said Information Minister Safwat Al-Sharif on Saturday, June 16.
Attending the upcoming meeting will be Prime Minister Atef Ebeid and 15 government ministers, added Sharif, quoted by the Egyptian Gazette.
He was speaking after a cabinet meeting that tackled presidential instructions to develop different production, administrative and service sectors, said the paper.
Egypt and the EU earlier this year initialed the long-negotiated pact. Egypt hopes the agreement will give its products greater access to European markets. – (MENA Report)

Smart chargingElectric driving is smart. Even smarter is the way electric cars can be efficiently charged. With Smart Charging we divide up the available limited loading capacity, without drivers ever being aware this is actually happening. This means that no investment is required to reinforce the national grid and charging electric cars will remain an affordable option. At the end of day, this is how we contribute to a reliable grid, whilst continuing to deliver lower prices for the consumer. If your company has more than three charging points and a 100% electric fleet, then Smart Charging will work out even cheaper. With Smart Charging there is no requirement for heavier connections, mitigating any rise in your network costs. Smart Charging technology has been developed by Enexis and will be marketed by its subsidiary Fudura from 2016. In 2015, Enexis will continue to look out for interesting pilot scheme locations where Smart Charging can be tested.
Enexis has been working on Smart Charging for a number of years: smart charging electric cars is essential to prevent the national grid from becoming overloaded. A protocol has been developed to address this issue: the Open Smart Charging Protocol (OSCP). This protocol describes the common 'language' spoken between the grid manager and those who operate cars in a smart manner.
A range of documentation and background information is available here regarding Enexis and Smart Charging, and includes a position paper and info graphics, as well as a video.
The Open Smart Charging Protocol (OSCP) will determine the precise content of the messages issued by the grid manager to an operator. This means that everyone will be clear about the requirements for being involved in the smart charging process.

Hossein Zare photography engulfs the viewer into an abstract journey. When staring at Zare's photos, one becomes lost in his world of illusions.
The monochromatic captures, titled 'Passenger,' follow a man on an endless and aimless journey. The subject is only a blurry image and the beginning and end of the series is unknown. The magnificent photos distort time and space and you are no longer able to differentiate reality.
These striking images allow you to explore, ponder and experience your own path in life. Amazing shots include a black and white road intersecting and a crisp white shot of a barren landscape. These photographs are metaphors for life, the journeys we go on and the crossroads we come to. Houssein Zare photography is awe-inspiring and forces people to engage and reflect on their own lives.

A Vacation in DC
Warsaw is a beautiful city to spend a vacation in. Away from your fast paced life. A vacation here will have you refreshed and thrilled. All you need to do is get in touch with a travel agent who can get you cheap flights to Warsaw. There are many cheap tickets to Warsaw. Conduct a little research on the internet and you will find cheap plane flights to Warsaw. Make sure to buy airline tickets well in advance so that during the holiday season you do not land up paying extra.
I had the chance to visit this place for a vacation with my parents. It is a beautiful place I must say. The minute we landed at the airport I could feel the fresh air and was floored by the beauty of the place. Words fail to describe how beautiful Warsaw is. We booked our cheap tickets on British Airways.
There are a lot of things that one does while on vacation here. Enjoy the calm and blue skies; be mesmerized by the sheer beauty of the place. Take a walk down the market place and soak the essence of the city. It is a romantic place for sure. There are many activities that you and your family could take part in as well. There is something to do for all age groups here. The night life in the city was pretty extravagant. We made sure to visit a few lounges and bars. They served great food and drinks. They music they played here was exquisite. Millions of people visit this gorgeous city every year. One must visit here at least once in your life. A trip here makes you feel as though you have traveled back in time.
The weather was great, a little warm and sunny during the day but pleasant and chilly in the evening. The entire city was so alive and full of energy. People stay up partying all night. A week spent here also seemed less. My trip here was truly a memorable one. We all had so much of fun. The city has so much to do that one is never bored. In fact there are so many options to choose from in terms of entertainment that you could actually be in perplexed state of mind. Warsaw is a nice place when it comes to shopping.
There are several malls and complexes that have all the major brands. Shopping is a true delight in this city. We managed to shop quite a bit for friends and family back home. Plan a vacation here with your loved ones and have a great holiday. I would certainly like to come back here soon for a vacation again. It was a delight visiting this place.

Waste King becomes a football supporter
As part of its on-going corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment, the specialist collections, clearance and recycling company, Waste King, has contributed funds towards goals and other equipment at St Margaretsbury Football Club.
The football club, based in Stanstead Abbotts – and originally called 'Stanstead Abbotts' when it was formed in 1894 – moved to its current headquarters and changed its name in 1962. After many years of success in various leagues, as well as in the FA Cup competition in 2005/06, the club hit some difficult times in 2008/09.
In 2009/10, the club installed a new Chairman and an almost completely new committee and, by 2010/11 the club began putting some business structure, organisation and processes into place, along with introducing improved facilities.
Waste King's managing director, Glenn Currie, commented: "One of the specialist interiors companies with which we work on a regular basis, asked us to help support the St Margaretsbury football club – and we were happy to do so.
"We spend much of our working lives collecting and recycling things and preventing them going to waste. In a way, our support for St Margaretsbury FC is based on a similar premise because, after 117 years of providing opportunities in its locality for people to play football, it would be disappointing to see such a valuable local resource go to waste because of a lack of up-to-date resources."

Mine Kafon By Massoud Hassani/
Massoud Hassani grew up in Afghanistan. As a child him and his brother used to build small toys that rolled. The two boys would take the small toys out in the hills to play with them, but as the wind would pick up the toys would roll faster than their little legs could carry. Eventually the boys would have to let the wind take their toys, because the land was covered in millions of land mines. Hassani explained that some kids, would attempt to get their toys, but the consequences to that choice was fatal. Hassani has been riddled with concept after concept of how to detonate the mines to allow the local people to use the land safely for the past twenty years. during his graduate studies at Design Academy Eindhoven, the 25 year old was able to experiment with his theories on a grander scale. He took the same idea that he had as a boy, a device that could roll over the land, but he needed to make it strong enough to withstand the power of the explosion.
Early prototypes of the Mine Kafon would explode to pieces along with the detonation of the bomb. Now, Hassani has designed a GPS integrated Mine Kafon Ball that will not explode when the mine goes off - the ball will continue to roll to the next mine to release the detonation. The ball is constructed of three parts, the spherical core, 70 bamboo legs that stick out from it, and black round surfaces for the feet. Check out the landmine seeking device in action in the video below.

Since childhood we learn that dreams are not real and usually mean that parts of our memory, day and life come out jumbled in the form of a dream or what I believe is a type of premonition.
It is mind blowing how our memories can come out in an event that never happened during our life but when awaken the dream has a meaning. This morning mine was a dream about everything that I have been writing about over the past month and a half regarding my previous employment.
An old school friend of mine, Linda is the name I will use, who is on my personal FaceBook account was in this dream. This is because a few weeks ago she reassured me after my discharge that the reason probably would not stick as long a hearing was requested and I am to go through with. In the dream she had an eighteen month old boy and we were going for cover because a flood was on the way, the Hudson River was actually going to flood over and we needed somewhere safe to go.
Linda than asked me to hold her child and keep him safe so that he wouldn't drown and agreeing we where trying to get higher in this underground tunnel except the water was coming in after all. The water was slowly rising and we were trying to get higher and higher while at the same time I was holding her son up as high as possible. My arms were getting tired and dropping down but I kept catching him and holding him over my head while we walked up this small hill made of a cement pathway and stood on our tipsy toes. Of course that is where I awoken because if not that the dream would have been forgotten.
What it meant was that the water was my unemployment hearing, the eighteen month old boy was other employees that had been wronged by this employer in the past and of course as mentioned earlier in the story my friend Linda is the one who reassured me. There is something that wants me to do right by those who did not put up a fight and are now stuck in a job like McDonalds or Pricechopper because the owner, Dick, did what he could to run them out for reasons of greed.
Something that occurred to me is why Dick does it the way he does and the timing. If he can runs an employee out before the end of the next calender year when he claims unclaimed unemployment that the employee paid out for the prior year, when that employee is denied or does not fight it he gets to keep it. First he has to get the employee to quit or be terminated for misconduct or anything else that is breaking the rules in terms of the company contract.
That means creating a situation that would make a female employee think that Dick is attracted to her. This is done by accidentally sexually harassing by bumping into her from behind, in the dark, while having an erection. Later he would appear to be showing up afterwards when she is going to the ladies room or on her breaks so that it may appear as if he is interested. Than when she says or does something inappropriate that would be considered insubordination.
My fight is for those who did not know what to do about these types of situations and even if what was done cannot be proved at least if it does ever occur again that seed has been planted for future unprofessional, unfair treatment type of behaviours from Dick or any other manager. A few times Dick commented to me that he could easily discharge me and find a replacement. My thought is that New York State could also pull their contract and give it to a company that treats there employees with respect and dignity, not like a piece of crap because he owns the company.

Carmelo Anthony Played Organized Basketball Last Night
You know you're in a lockout when a lighthearted charity game is news, but, well, it's news. For those of you behind on your trivial basketball trends, note that a number of NBA figures have segmented themselves into roughly organized "leagues", which are really just groups of friends and neighbors who put on occasional exhibition games to raise money and remind us that basketball still exists. One such exhibition game took place last night, as Carmelo Anthony's cleverly named Melo League All-Stars, including himself, Chris Paul, LeBron James, and others faced Washington, D.C.'s Goodman League counterparts, headlined by Kevin Durant and also featuring Roger Mason of the Knicks. The two squads entertained around 4,000 people crammed into a gym at Morgan State University in Baltimore. Money was raised. Highlights were recorded. Eddy Curry played hooky. Excellent. Reporters got a hold of Anthony and Mason (but, alas, not Anthony Mason) after the game and managed to glean a few items of interest to Knicks fans.
First of all, it's pleasant news that Anthony was able to participate, let alone score 27 points. Recall that Melo's elbow (henceforth referred to as the Melbow) has been plagued by chronic bursitis since the end of last season. Even as his eponymous league has held games, Melo's been sittin' and healin' this summer. If a season were imminent, that might be worrisome. Either way, Melo and his Melbow reportedly looked great last night, and the man himself sounded ebullient after the fact:
"I'm back," the Knicks ' All-Star forward said. "I'm back like I never missed anything."
Well, to be honest, Melo, you didn't miss much. That's great to hear, though. He and Mason both offered some thoughts on the lockout to the Post (thesis: they're not fans of the lockout) and, for our purposes, echoed Amar'e Stoudemire's sentiment that an unofficial Knicks training camp ought to take place some time soon:
"Probably by early October, we'll start getting guys together," Anthony said. "I'll make it my duty to get guys together, whether it's in New York or L.A. . . . me, coming in at a half a season, or toward the end of the season, I think it's for me to [make that happen].
Amar'e has also said that it's on him to make that happen, but it doesn't sound like the two have crossed paths very much, globetrotters that they are. In summary, the Melbow is well, the lockout still sucks, and the Knicks (or those who might be deemed Knicks if there existed a basketball team called the "Knicks") should be congregating sometime soon.
Oh, and the Melo League All-Stars won, 149–141. Someday, we'll have basketball games in which the score is the top story!

Skull Coast Gallows Point at The CBG
I had the opportunity to attend the release of Gallows Point at the fairly new Cherry Bomb Grill in Raleigh. At the former site of a Raleigh establishment, I thought it would be a good chance to check out the new place as well as try a new brew. Pleasantly, both were a success. First, the CBG has retained a lot of the old feel of the restaurant before (down to the landmark, neon "Restaurant" sign outside), with some noticeable updates, including a new bar and flat screen TV's. The service was attentive, and the menu was a step up from your normal "pub grub". The craft beer selection was impressive as well, and will likely become a regular stop when downtown, up there with the Raleigh Times and Busy Bee Cafe.
As for the beer, it was a solid offering from the folks at Skull Coast. I had never had the opportunity to try one of their beers before, but if this is any indication, then it certainly will not be the last. Gallows Point is an imperial stout that smells of cocoa and malt. You can really taste the macadamia nuts used in the brewing process, and is also fairly malty. Even for an imperial porter, it was very drinkable, as me and my drinking buddy were not able to stop at one, and had to go for one more. This gave us the opportunity to try CBG's Hawaiian Tuna Wraps, which were tuna salad with toppings inside a lettuce wrap. Very tasty and light, and the spice held up well with the beer.
Cheers to the CBG and to Skull Point for a job well done, and here's to many more craft beer events in the future!

Yesterday''s tube from Edgware Road to Waterloo arrived a minute early! Needless to say, that enabled me to get my connecting train to Norbiton to pick my daughter up from the childminder. That train was also a minute early arriving. Touché, TfL. Touché.
More strikes on the underground, this time the security staff. Great.
London Underground have also been fined £300,000 for trying to kill passengers. A 39-tonne maintenance waggon got out of control and smashed through seven stations, coming within yards of hitting a packed tube train.
Everyone thinks I'm exaggerating when I say TfL is evil. Will you listen now?

I thought that sqlite was simple but it is giving me a hard time. I just want to create an application where I can connect to a sqlite database using the ado.net entity data classes.
I am having this problem when testing the application on a virtual computer running windows xp. the application works fine on my current computer and also on my laptop when I deploy them.
Here is what happens on the virtual computer :
- The application is able to launch.
- The application is able to interact with the database using System.Data.SQLite
- The application is not able to connect to the database using The ADO.NET Entity data models
when I try to connect I get the following exception:
I know there are a lot of post that talk about this and most of them say that you need to download the .NET provider for Sqlite.
I have already installed the sqlite-netFx40-setup-bundle-x86-2010-188.8.131.52.exe and I get the same problem. What should I do?
I managed to establish a connection by adding:
<remove invariant="System.Data.SQLite"/>
<add name="SQLite Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SQLite" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SQLite"
type="System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory, System.Data.SQLite" />
to my app.config file.
The problem is that now I cannot select data nor insert records to the database. The exception that I get when I try to insert a new record now is:
A null was returned after calling the 'GetService' method on a store provider instance of type 'System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteFactory'. The store provider might not be functioning correctly.

Until recently, nothing struck fear in me as quickly as two simple words: POT LUCK. Just the thought of a pot luck made me cringe and cower.
For a non-cook like me, a pot luck was just an opportunity to apologize.
"Sorry, I didn't have time to cook, so I picked up these bagels."
"I tried to make cookies, but they burned."
It go so bad that I would either refuse the invitation or take credit for someone else's dish.
"Oh, you like the chicken salad? Thanks, I made it myself."
But now that I have sort of learned how to cook, I've had enough with lame excuses.
So when my friend Amanda invited me to her synagogue's pot luck in honor of Sukkoth on Sunday, I jumped at the chance to show off my new skills.
The only problem was that after a morning spent at the Atlantic Antic and then Ruby's swimming class, I had less than an hour to whip up something marvelous.
Here's what I came up with:
Orecchiette with Roasted Broccoli and Walnuts
(from Real Simple)
12 ounces orechiette (3 cups)
1 bunch broccoli, cut into small florets
1/2 cup walnuts, roughtly chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta, and return it to the pot.
Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli, walnuts, oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast, tossing once, until the broccoli is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
Toss the pasta with the broccoli mixture, butter, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water (Add more water if the pasta seems dry). Sprinkle with the Parmesan before serving.
I finished just in time to hurry over to the Pot Luck only to find I was the first one to arrive.
When I presented my dish to the pot luck's organizers, I was overcome with pride at how far I have come in my quest to become domesticated. I am beginning to see myself in a new light. Apparently, I am the sort of person who cooks orecchiette with roasted broccoli and walnuts for a pot luck.
I tried my best not to judge my fellow pot luckers who contributed store-bought hummus and Pepperidge Farm cookies.
The only bummer was that my dish went so fast, Avo never got a chance to try it.
But he'll have a chance on Monday when I re-create this dish for my parents. I still need a main dish to impress them. Any ideas? Take my poll above or post your own suggestions in the comment section below.

Earthtalk :: Soft Tire Blues
From the Editors of E/The Environmental Magazine
Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that driving with soft tires wastes energy and results in more pollution? -- Nanci Graham, via e-mail
When tires are not inflated to the pounds per square inch (PSI) rating recommended by manufacturers, they are less "round" and require more energy to begin moving and to maintain speed. As such, under-inflated tires do indeed contribute to pollution and increase fuel costs.
An informal study by students at Carnegie Mellon University found that the majority of cars on U.S. roads are operating on tires inflated to only 80 percent of capacity. According to the website, fueleconomy.gov, inflating tires to their proper pressure can improve mileage by about 3.3 percent, whereas leaving them under-inflated can lower mileage by 0.4 percent for every one PSI drop in pressure of all four tires.That may not sound like much, but it means that the average person who drives 12,000 miles yearly on under-inflated tires uses about 144 extra gallons of gas, at a cost of $300-$500 a year. And each time one of those gallons of gas is burned, 20 pounds of carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere as the carbons in the gas are released and combine with the oxygen in the air. As such, any vehicle running on soft tires is contributing as much as 1.5 extra tons (2,880 pounds) of greenhouse gases to the environment annually.
Besides saving fuel and money and minimizing emissions, properly inflated tires are safer and less likely to fail at high speeds. Under-inflated tires make for longer stopping distances and will skid longer on wet surfaces. Analysts point to under-inflated tires as a likely cause of many SUV rollover accidents. Properly inflated tires also wear more evenly and will last longer accordingly.
Mechanics advise drivers to check their tire pressure monthly, if not more frequently. The correct air pressure for tires that come with new vehicles can be found either in the owner's manual or inside the driver-side door. Beware, though, that replacement tires may carry a different PSI rating than the originals that came with the car. Most new replacement tires display their PSI rating on their sidewalls.
Also, tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold, as internal pressure increases when the car has been on the road for a while, but then drops when the tires cool back down. It is best to check tire pressure before heading out on the road to avoid inaccurate readings.
As part of the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act of 2000, Congress has mandated that automakers install tire pressure monitoring systems on all new cars, pickups and SUVs beginning in 2008. To comply with the regulation, automakers will be required to attach tiny sensors to each wheel that will signal if a tire falls 25 percent below its recommended PSI rating. Car makers will likely spend as much as $70 per vehicle to install these sensors, a cost that will no doubt be passed along to consumers. However, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, some 120 lives a year will be saved once all new vehicles are equipped with such systems.

Hollywood's biggest night of the year is less than 36 hours away (join our FREE Oscar Contest). And although many of the major Oscar races feel cemented in (dare I say, Emma) "Stone", there are always a few categories destined to shake-up the evening. Guest-writer, Greg Rouleau and I offer up our predictions on how the Academy Awards will unravel, here's what we envision:
Smaller Categories
Best Animated Film: Zootopia - Dave & Greg
Best Documentary: O.J.: Made in America - Dave & Greg
Best Foreign Film: Toni Erdmann - Dave & A Man Called Ove - Greg
Best Score: La La Land - Dave & Greg
Best Adapted Screenplay
Moonlight - Dave & Greg
Despite all of its enormous fanfare, Barry Jenkins' adored indie drama Moonlight has been completely overshadowed by La La Land. Consequently, the film is most likely going to miss out in some of the bigger races, but Adapted Screenplay should be one of two Oscars earned by this deserving film.
Best Original Screenplay
Manchester by the Sea - Dave & Greg
The neck-and-neck race between Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea and La La Land in the Original Screenplay category should be one of the more interesting ones of the evening. They've split prizes throughout the lead-up to the Oscars so it could legitimately go either way. Yet, Greg and I envision plenty of love for La La Land in countless other races, so this may be the Academy's way of recognizing Lonergan's film as well.
Best Supporting Actress
Viola Davis (Fences) - Dave & Greg
This category is pretty much in the bag for Fences co-lead, Viola Davis. None of her competitors can match her sizable role, although I would argue that Michelle Williams delivers comparable quality in a performance that's very limited in terms of screen time. And for that reason it's impossible to go against Davis, who's "owed" one for her unforgivable loss to Meryl Streep a handful of years ago.
Best Supporting Actor
Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) - Dave & Greg
Although Greg and I are also in agreement in the Supporting Actor race, the category has a history of going against the grain. And to keep things in perspective, Ali hasn't been a "sure-thing" throughout the awards season in many other big precursors. Therefore, don't be surprised if voters go for someone like Dev Patel (Lion) or even a dark horse like Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals). I personally feel that the Academy recognizes limited opportunities to reward Moonlight, so they will make sure it happens here.
Best Actress
Emma Stone (La La Land) - Dave & Greg
As the heart and soul in the year's biggest movie, it would be a shock if Emma Stone's name wasn't called. Admittedly, though, this has been an exceptional year for female talent in Hollywood, so her competition is impressive. However, La La Land is due for a big evening and Stone should benefit from the outpouring of love.
Best Actor
Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea) - Dave & Greg
The heart wants what the heart wants, and my heart wants nothing more that for Casey Affleck to walk away victorious in the Best Actor race. The stars were aligning perfectly for the veteran actor who's seeking his first Oscar statue, but then SAG threw a wrench in destiny's plans by awarding their honor to rival Denzel Washington (Fences). This category could go either way, but here's to hoping that Affleck claims the win.
Best Director
Damien Chazelle (La La Land) - Dave & Greg
Damien Chazelle's original musical is a spectacle for the eyes, ears and soul, making it a viable Best Picture winner (spoiler alert). And it appears that the Academy will get back on track by honoring both the film itself and its director. Splitting those two categories was once frowned upon, but recent history changed all that with Argo/Ang Lee (Life of Pi), then 12 Years a Slave/Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) and even last year's Spotlight/Alejandro G. Inarritu (The Revenant) shared honors.
Best Picture
La La Land - Dave & Greg
This year's Best Picture race is as cemented as its been in recent memory. La La Land burst onto the scene as a presumed Oscar frontrunner and never looked back, staving off competition throughout the entire end of the year. It's a worthy Best Picture title with its magical blend of classic Hollywood and a new age vibe. Even if you aren't necessarily a fan of musicals, La La Land offers so much more with a fantastic story, exceptional choreography and picturesque cinematography. It's the complete package!

Just a quick round up of things before I go off for a week. Lots of meetings this week - and lots of sunshine - can't believe how hot it is, and how much time I've spent inside!
We've had a section heads meeting where we talked about training plans and how we handle them, and how we take forward some scenario planning we've started doing.
I've also been in a couple of meetings discussing plans for an exciting new capital project we're going to be involved in.
A whole day helping colleagues at another University interview for a senior post.
Sorry for short post, and lack of them this week, but I think I probably made up for that last week.
See you soon!


text: Curtis Phillips Within the past several months, radical Islam has been entrenched in fighting throughout Somalia. The following item from December was in the news about the town of Bulo Burto, Somalia, when it was under the control of radical Islamists. It's not so much about when this took place, but what it says about radical Islam in general. The news item: Shops, tea houses and other public places in Bulo Burto, about 124 miles northeast of the capital, Mogadishu, should be closed during prayer time and no one should be on the streets, said Sheik Hussein Barre Rage, the chairman of the town's Islamic court. His court is part of a network backed by armed militiamen that has taken control of much of southern Somalia in recent months, bringing a strict interpretation of Islam that is alien to many Somalis. Those who do not follow the prayer edict after three days have elapsed, "will definitely be beheaded according to Islamic law," Rage told the Associated Press by phone. "As Muslims we should practice Islam fully, not in part, and that is what our religion enjoins us to do." According to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, in some countries with a Muslim majority, sexual crimes, including adultery and sodomy, carry the death penalty, as do religious crimes such as apostasy from Islam, the formal renunciation of one's religion. This nation was founded on Christian principles. What if you were threatened by beheading if you didn't pray five times a day? Christianity had some rough times in its early days, but when is the last time you heard Christians threatening beheading if you didn't pray? Tawfik Hamid, an ex-Islamic extremist and former member in Egypt of Jammaa Islamia, currently is an Islamic scholar, peace activist and reformer of Islam. He says "The powers of darkness were overwhelming and I was forced to emigrate with my family to the West seeking freedom. I am willing to speak out against Islamic fundamentalism that prevails in the world today." He stated the following recently in the online intelligence summit about the No. 2 man, Al-Zawahiri, under Al-Qaida leader Bin Laden: "Ayman Al-Zawahiri, has announced in the past that Americans must choose: convert to Islam or get war. This was old news. Al-Zawahiri was simply stating a fundamental concept of Salafi Islamic teaching. Zawahiri's threat is based on a saying of Prophet Mohammed as written in Sahih Al-Buchary, a book which is an integral part of Salafi Islamic teaching. This Hadith states: "I have been ordered by Allah to fight and kill all mankind until they say, 'No God except Allah and Mohammed is the prophet of Allah' (Hadith Sahih by Sahih AlBuckary and Sahih Muslim)." Based on this concept or Hadith, early Muslims declared jihadi wars to spread Islam throughout the world. That history continues to the present. It is the basis for all terrorist attacks, including the Al-Qaida Sept. 11 attack on the United States five years ago, and the recent planned airplane explosions from London. Islamic terrorism is going to stop only if Americans convert to Islam as Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri have clearly declared. Other rationales used to explain terrorism are simply incorrect." When I was a child, communism was as scary as it got and still is, but I don't believe there is anything as scary as is what is coming out of the radical Muslim teachers and extremists. There are millions of radical Islamic Muslims out there, but there are others of which this country should not be afraid. That is, the number of people in our own country who may adopt radical Islam. For some of them, it will motivate their own idealistic approved method to exterminate people at will, in the name of their newfound religion. Hamid described it as a growing cancer. There is not enough chemotherapy on earth to stop it. Cancer spreads if left untreated and eventually the patient dies. The people of this country must recognize what is happening and stand up to radical Islam. This country is a long way from threatened beheadings for not praying. But this is a radical cancer that is out of control and it might be too late for a cure. As with most cancers, it starts growing from within the body. Our body - the U.S. - needs to be monitored closely for any malignant cells.

Article Title
Rewarding Trespass & Other Enigmas: The Strange World of Self-Exclusion & Casino Liability
In this paper, the authors address many of the tortious and contractual issues associated with the liability of casinos to problem gamblers. The issues in tort are analyzed through the traditional elements of the action – duty of care, standard of care, proximity, and recognizable loss. Under contract law, the authors examine the problems associated with consideration and mental capacity when problem gamblers sign a contractual undertaking to be excluded from casinos and other gaming venues.
Many of the references cited in this work relate to the Province of Ontario because an earlier article (and report) on the issue of problem gambling posited that Ontario's gaming venues owed a duty of care to problem gamblers. However, many of the basic principles of contract law and tort law raised within this paper will be applicable throughout the Commonwealth and the United States.

Feta cheese can be made from the milk of goats, sheep or cows. This cheese is very crumbly and has a tangy, salty flavor. Part of the process of making feta involves curing the cheese in brine for up to several months; this contributes to feta's distinctive flavor. Feta works well in a wide variety of dishes ranging from fish courses to salads. Depending on the use of the feta, you have several options for substitutes.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese has a different flavor than feta, but its texture is somewhat similar. Cottage cheese works especially well as a replacement for feta when you are looking for pure bursts of flavor, such as when you would sprinkle crumbled feta over a salad. Place the cottage cheese in a strainer and allow the whey to drain off. This is not necessary, but will give the cheese a similar texture to feta. You may even rinse the cottage cheese to remove more of the whey. Add some extra salt to the cottage cheese to get closer to the flavor of feta.
Cotija, a Mexican cheese, may be made with either cow's milk or goat's milk. Its flavor is somewhat similar to Parmesan and it may be used in a similar way. It also works as a substitute for feta because it is much more crumbly and somewhat sharper in flavor than Parmesan. Simply add an equivalent amount of Cotija to your recipe at the same time and in the same way as you would have added the feta.
Ricotta Salata
Ricotta salata tastes almost like a mild feta; it is less sharp and salty, but still somewhat resembles feta in its flavor. Like feta, ricotta salata is easily sliced and crumbled. Feta and ricotta salata do differ somewhat in texture, however. Ricotta salata tends to be silkier and somewhat firmer than the crumbly and hole-filled feta. Ricotta salata can be substituted for feta if you want to keep the flavor of the dish relatively intact while reducing the tangy, salty sharpness of the cheese.

Sheffield is famous for its hills - and runners tackled a tough incline in today's new-look half marathon.
The 7,000 runners headed up Ecclesall Road and towards Ringinlow after leaving the city centre at 9.30am this morning.
Some had been a little cautious about the challenge ahead before setting off.
Andrew King, of Barnsley, said: "I'm a little bit nervous because this is the first time it's taken in these hills but I am looking forward to the challenge ahead.
"I'm looking forward to Ecclesall Road because that's where the crowds really cheer you on, it's fantastic."
Among the runners today were families, friends and colleagues, many donning fancy dress including superhero costumes, ears and even a shoe outfit.
Champion boxer Kell Brook was one of the 350 people taking part for Sheffield Children's Hospital and wished runners 'all the luck in the world'.
Today is the first time he has taken part in the city's half marathon - now the Plusnet Yorkshire Half Marathon Sheffield.
Also on runners' orders was former World Cup referee Howard Webb and Richard Caborn, former sports minister and Sheffield MP.
The Lord Mayor of Sheffield posed with legendary fundraiser John Burkhill for pictures, and John brought up the rear of the race with his famous green pram.
He high fived cheering spectators as he set off from Arundel Gate.
After reaching the hills, the race route offering views of the Peak District before returning to the city centre.
Entrants have the chance to be crowned King of the Hill in a timed climb, and triumph in a downhill 10k sprint section. Youngsters can take part in shorter 1.5k and 2.5k races.
Last year's race was cancelled at the last minute because a water delivery failed to arrive, and the organisers later stood down.
Among the road closures are Arundel Gate 4am-2pm; Pinstone Street between Surrey Street and Cross Burgess Street 4am-2pm; Norfolk Street 4am-4pm; Surrey Street 4am-4pm; Charles Street between Arundel Gate and Pinstone Street 4am-4pm; Union Street 4am-4pm; Furnival Gate northbound 8.30am-11am; Furnival Gate South southbound 4am-4pm; Charter Square 8.30am-1.30pm; Charter Row eastbound 8.30am-1.30pm and Charter Row westbound 8.30am-11am.
Away from the city centre, the closures include Ecclesall Road between A61 Ring Road and Brocco Bank 8am-1pm and between Brocco Bank and between Brocco Bank and Ecclesall Road South 8.45am-1pm; Ecclesall Road South 8.45am-12.30pm; Knowle Lane 9am-11.15am; Ringinglow Road between Knowle Lane and Fulwood Lane 9am-11.30am; Sheephill Road 9.15am-11.30am; Hathersage Road between Stony Ridge Road and Limb Lane 9.15am-11.30am; Limb Lane 9.15am-11.45am.
The A621 and A57 will remain open throughout the event as an alternative to the A625 Ecclesall Road/Ecclesall Road South.

-Beijing- Analysis--Gay Runs Out of Time.
The hamstring held up for Tyson Gay through the rounds. However it was his conditioning that let him down in the semi-final heat.
He placed fifth in his heat by .02, knocking him out of the highly anticipated 100-meter final.
Gay's Olympic dreams went down with him on the track in Eugene at the U.S. Olympic Trials. This was his first competition since the injury, and Gay had only two weeks of practicing before heading to Beijing.
Gay is a warrior and ran as well as could be expected in this difficult set of circumstances. It was a simply a situation in which he ran out of time.
"I may have needed more races, but I don't really have any excuses,'' Gay said. "I'm pretty upset. I did my best and everyone knows I did," he went on to say.

The Skeleton Project
Over the past week I have been teaching myself how to use InDesign for some possible future projects and I thought the best way to really get to grips with it would be to actually create a publication of my own, and while I would love to publish my own multi-issue magazine at some point I thought a one off would be best!
I wanted it to have more of a solid theme than just random shoots I had done so I decided to fill the pages with the images taken from my Skeleton Project! Here are a couple of little previews.
I am hoping to offer these for purchase if it turns out well! I will be ordering a proof soon so fingers crossed! :)

"Where there is love there is life"-Mahatma Gandhi
Saying "I Do" is Medically Good for the Heart
Heartache and love are two powerful happenings; either can make you stronger, or weak at the knees, soften or harden the soul. Today, researchers prove marriage is good for the heart.
A study found married people are less likely than singles, divorced or widowed folks to suffer any type of heart or blood vessel problem.
"It might be that if someone is married, they have a spouse who encourages them to take better care of themselves," said Dr. Jeffrey Berger, a preventive cardiologist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York.
But "we can't prove by any means cause and effect," he said.
This is the largest look at marriage and heart health, said Dr. Carlos Alviar, a cardiology fellow who led the study with Berger. Previous studies mostly compared married to single people and lacked information on divorced and widowed ones. Or they just looked at heart attacks, whereas this one included a full range from clogged arteries and abdominal aneurysms to stroke risks and circulation problems in the legs.
Researchers used health questionnaires people filled out as they sought various types of tests in community settings around the country from an Ohio company, Life Line Screening Inc.
The study authors have no financial ties to the company and are not endorsing this type of screening, Berger said. Life Line gave its data to the Society of Vascular Surgery and New York University to help promote research.
Researchers studied the results from people who sought screening from 2003 to 2008. Their average age was 64; nearly 2-thirds female and 80 percent were white. Personal information collected included: smoking, diabetes, family history, obesity and exercise.
The study Uncovered:
—Married people had a 5 percent lower risk of any cardiovascular disease compared to single people. Widowed people had a 3 percent greater risk of it and divorced people, a 5 percent greater risk, compared to married folks.
—Marriage seemed to do the most good for those under age 50; they had a 12 percent lower risk of heart-related disease than single people their age.
—Smoking, a major heart risk, was highest among divorced people and lowest in widowed ones. Obesity was most common in those single and divorced. Widowed people had the highest rates of high blood pressure, diabetes and inadequate exercise.
Not included in the study was how long participants were married or how recently they were divorced or became widowed. But the results drive home the message that a person's heart risks can't be judged by physical measures alone — social factors and stress also matter, said Dr. Vera Bittner, a cardiologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
She heads the heart disease prevention committee of the American College of Cardiology. The study results were released on Friday ahead of presentation this weekend at the group's annual meeting in Washington.
"We don't really have a clear explanation" for why marriage may be protective, Bittner said.
"You may be more willing to follow up with medical appointments," take recommended drugs, diet and exercise if you have a spouse, she said.
