Citation Nr: 0802538 Decision Date: 01/23/08 Archive Date: 01/30/08 DOCKET NO. 02-13 877 ) DATE ) ) On appeal from the Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania THE ISSUE Entitlement to service connection for a pulmonary disorder, to include as due to asbestos exposure. REPRESENTATION Appellant represented by: Vietnam Veterans of America ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD N. Kroes, Associate Counsel INTRODUCTION The veteran served on active duty from June 1974 to May 1978. This case initially came before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). In October 2002, the Board remanded the claim for a videoconference hearing, but the veteran withdrew his request for a hearing in April 2005 correspondence. The Board again remanded the claim for additional development in May 2005 and August 2006. Substantial compliance having been completed the case has been returned to the Board. Since the last supplemental statement of the case, the veteran has submitted additional evidence. In a December 2007 informal hearing presentation, the veteran's representative waived the RO's consideration of this new evidence. See 38 C.F.R. § 20.1304(c) (2007). In July 2006, the Board granted the veteran's motion to advance his case on the Board's docket. See 38 U.S.C.A. § 7107 (West 2002); 38 C.F.R. § 20.900(c) (2007). FINDING OF FACT Competent medical evidence of record supports a finding that a pulmonary disorder is more likely than not the result of asbestos exposure during the veteran's active military service. CONCLUSION OF LAW With resolution of reasonable doubt in the veteran's favor, an asbestos-related pulmonary disorder was incurred during active military service. 38 U.S.C.A. §§ 1110, 1131, 5107 (West 2002 & Supp. 2007); 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.102, 3.303 (2007). REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION I. Duty to Notify and Assist As provided for by the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (VCAA), the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has a duty to notify and assist claimants in substantiating a claim for VA benefits. 38 U.S.C.A. §§ 5100, 5102, 5103, 5103A, 5107, 5126 (West 2002 & Supp. 2007); 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.102, 3.156(a), 3.159 and 3.326(a) (2007). In this case, the Board is granting in full the benefit sought on appeal. Accordingly, assuming, without deciding, that any error was committed with respect to either the duty to notify or the duty to assist, such error was harmless and will not be further discussed. II. Service Connection The veteran asserts that he has an asbestos-related pulmonary disorder caused by exposure to asbestos exposure while serving as a machinist's mate aboard ship while on active duty in the United States Navy. Service connection may be granted for a disability resulting from disease or injury incurred in or aggravated by service. 38 U.S.C.A. §§ 1110, 1131; 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(a). Service connection may also be granted for any disease diagnosed after discharge when all of the evidence establishes that the disease was incurred in service. 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(d). To prevail on the issue of service connection, there must be medical evidence of a current disability; medical evidence, or in certain circumstances, lay evidence of in-service occurrence or aggravation of a disease or injury; and medical evidence of a nexus between an in-service injury or disease and the current disability. See Hickson v. West, 12 Vet. App. 247, 253 (1999). The chronicity provision of 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(b) is applicable where the evidence, regardless of its date, shows that the veteran had a chronic condition in service or during an applicable presumption period and still has such condition. Such evidence must be medical unless it relates to a condition as to which, under the Court's case law, lay observation is competent. Savage v. Gober, 10 Vet. App. 488, 498 (1997). In addition, if a condition noted during service is not shown to be chronic, then generally a showing of continuity of symptomatology after service is required for service connection. 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(b). There is no specific statutory or regulatory guidance with regard to claims for service connection for asbestosis or other asbestos-related diseases. However, in 1988, VA issued a circular on asbestos-related diseases that provided guidelines for considering asbestos compensation claims. See Department of Veterans Benefits, Veterans' Administration, DVB Circular 21-88-8, Asbestos-Related Diseases (May 11, 1988). The information and instructions contained in the DVB Circular have since been included in VA Adjudication Procedure Manual, M21-1MR, Part IV, Subpart ii, Chapter 2, Section C (hereinafter "M21-1MR"). Also, an opinion by VA's Office of General Counsel discusses the development of asbestos claims. See VAOPGCPREC 4- 2000 (April 13, 2000), published at 65 Fed. Reg. 33422 (2000). VA must analyze the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for an asbestos-related pulmonary disorder under these administrative protocols using the following criteria. Ennis v. Brown, 4 Vet. App. 523, 527 (1993); McGinty v. Brown, 4 Vet. App. 428, 432 (1993). The M21-1MR contains guidelines for the development of asbestos exposure cases. Paragraph (a) lists common materials that may contain asbestos including steam pipes for heating units and boilers, ceiling tiles, roofing shingles, wallboard, fire-proofing materials, and thermal insulation. Paragraph (b) in essence acknowledges that inhalation of asbestos fibers can result in fibrosis, the most commonly occurring of which is interstitial pulmonary fibrosis or asbestosis. Inhaling asbestos fibers can also lead to pleural effusions and fibrosis, pleural plaques, mesotheliomas of the pleura and peritoneum, and cancer of the lung, bronchus, gastrointestinal tract, larynx, pharynx, and urogenital system (except the prostate). Paragraph (d) notes that the latency period for development of disease due to exposure to asbestos ranges from 10 to 45 or more years between the first exposure and the development of the disease. Paragraph (e) provides that a clinical diagnosis of asbestosis requires a history of exposure and radiographic evidence of parenchymal lung disease. Symptoms and signs include dyspnea on exertion, end-respiratory rales over the lower lobes, compensatory emphysema, clubbing of the fingers at late stages, and pulmonary function impairment and cor pulmonale that can be demonstrated by instrumental methods. Paragraph (h) provides that VA must determine whether service records demonstrate evidence of asbestos exposure during service; whether there is pre-service and/or post-service evidence of occupational or other asbestos exposure; and then make a determination as to the relationship between asbestos exposure and the claimed disease, keeping in mind the latency and exposure information pertinent to the veteran. When all the evidence is assembled, VA is responsible for determining whether the evidence supports the claim or is in relative equipoise, with the veteran prevailing in either event, or whether a preponderance of the evidence is against a claim, in which case, the claim is denied. Gilbert v. Derwinski, 1 Vet. App. 49 (1990). The veteran has submitted a great deal of evidence to support his contention that he was exposed to asbestos while serving in the Navy, including on line research, articles, training manual excerpts, and "buddy" statements. The veteran's service personnel records show that he was a machinist's mate who was assigned to the engine room of the U.S.S. Neosho during his service. Multiple letters written by fellow sailors detail asbestos exposure by the veteran, and an August 2005 letter from the contractor assigned with dismantling the ship the veteran served aboard reported that after the ship was 50 percent dismantled asbestos disposal logs showed that 186.35 tons of asbestos had been removed. This letter also notes that the ship had significant levels of asbestos in certain areas, including the engine room. The evidence of record shows that the veteran was exposed to a significant amount of asbestos while in service. A December 1999 CT (computed tomography) scan report prepared by Dr. "G.S." of the Dubois Regional Medical Center was interpreted to show the veteran with interstitial fibrotic changes. A private physician, Dr. "A.I.," diagnosed the veteran with mild restrictive lung disease (January 2000), mild interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (August 2000), and asbestosis (January 2001) based on this CT scan and pulmonary function tests. Doctor "A.I." also indicated in his August 2000 letter that it was likely that the veteran developed mild interstitial pulmonary fibrosis during service, possibly related to asbestos exposure at that time. A VA examiner in October 2000 diagnosed the veteran with mild interstitial pulmonary fibrosis but could not state with certainty whether the veteran had asbestos related disease. The VA examiner and Dr. "A.I." both indicated that manifestations such as pleural plaques would strengthen an association between interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and exposure to asbestos, and that a lung biopsy would provide the most definitive diagnosis. Further examination was requested to clarify the matter, and in March 2006 a VA examiner concluded that the veteran had no restrictive lung disease based on contemporaneous chest x- rays and pulmonary function tests. The Board then remanded the claim for another VA examiner to review the evidence and identify the precise nature and etiology of any lung disorder in light of all of the medical evidence, portions of which were conflicting. The veteran was afforded this VA examination in May 2007. A pulmonary function test that day was reported as normal. In explaining some of the conflicting evidence, the examiner stated that a CT scan was more extensive than a chest x-ray and that where there may not be any changes noted on a chest x-ray they may still be evident on a CT scan. She also noted that the most recent CT scan, from 2003, was negative. Given that pulmonary function testing was normal dating back to 2003 and a CT scan dated from 2003 was reported as normal, the examiner stated that she could not find any objective evidence of any defined pulmonary disorder. She recommended another CT scan. After the examiner obtained a June 2007 CT scan and results she added an addendum to the examination report which stated that after review of the actual film with another physician, she felt the veteran had very mild interstitial fibrosis in both lungs. She noted that there was no evidence of pleural plaques that would associate this fibrosis with the veteran's asbestos exposure. Given that pulmonary function tests were normal, she still felt it was more likely than not that the veteran's current complaints were not related to interstitial fibrosis or asbestos exposure incurred while in the military. She stated that she could not totally rule out that interstitial fibrosis may be associated with asbestos exposure, and explained that she would suspect that if this were the case there would be evidence of progression reflected in decline of pulmonary function tests. Therefore, it was her opinion that it is more likely than not that the mild interstitial fibrosis is not related to asbestos exposure incurred in the military. Earlier in her report, the examiner explained that pleural plaques help differentiate asbestos-induced parenchymal disease from other interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary fibrosis with an associated pleural plaque is more likely to support asbestosis-related fibrotic disease from other interstitial lung disease. She also relayed that an open lung biopsy would be the most definitive diagnosis. As noted above, the October 2000 VA examiner and Dr. "A.I." also both indicated that pleural plaques would strengthen an association between interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and exposure to asbestos, and that a lung biopsy would provide the most definitive diagnosis. An open lung biopsy was performed by a private physician in October 2007. According to the report associated with this procedure, two pleural plaques were found. The current competent medical evidence shows interstitial pulmonary fibrosis confirmed by a June 2007 CT scan. Different medical professionals have on multiple occasions stated that the presence of pleural plaques would help differentiate asbestos-induced parenchymal disease from other interstitial lung disease. Pleural plaques were found during an October 2007 lung biopsy, the procedure that multiple physicians have stated would provide the most definitive diagnosis. Considering the above, the Board is of the opinion that the evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether or not the veteran's interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is related to his in-service asbestos exposure. Therefore, resolving reasonable doubt in the veteran's favor, service connection for an asbestos-related pulmonary disorder is warranted. 38 U.S.C.A. § 5107(b); 38 C.F.R. § 3.102; Gilbert, 1 Vet. App. 49. ORDER Entitlement to service connection for an asbestos-related pulmonary disorder is granted. ____________________________________________ MICHAEL D.

Stuffed Tomatoes
Stuffed Tomatoes
First, wash tomatoes well. (About 6 or 7 large tomatoes.) Then slice the top off and take the insides out with a melon baller or spoon. Leave a little flesh next to the tomato skin so it doesn't break. Save the insides of the tomato for later. Turn tomatoes upside down on a tray to drain while you prepare the stuffing.
Send through the food processor-
1/4 large onion
1 garlic clove
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Insides of one tomato
In a skillet brown 1 lb hamburger
add your food processor mix
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
insides of tomatoes
After hamburger is browned add
2 cups water
1/2 cup rice
Cook at a slow boil until rice is tender. If you need to add more water that is fine. After the rice is tender turn off heat and add 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice. I used montaray jack and cheddar.
Stir the cheese until it is mixed in the hamburger mixture. Then gently put the hamburger mixture into the tomatoes.
Place in a greased baking dish and bake uncovered at 375 for 30 minutes, or until tomato is tender.

In order for your email marketing to be ultimately successful you need to get your recipients to respond to your emails and the best way to do that is making quality, honest offers. Creating quality offers can be a little bit of a task, but it is worth the time, thought and energy you spend. When you create compelling offers that your recipients are interested in, you will be rewarded with valuable responses.
A great offer needs to be valuable to the recipient of the email. After offering to provide something valuable like a discount or expert information, it needs to be presented in a way that helps people take action on it easily. A great offer can provide value to the recipient by saving them money or time, or by creating a valuable opportunity for the email recipient. Your offer needs to be relevant to the goals of your campaign and relate to your business. Be sure that when your offer is acted upon it will generate the success that meets your business objectives.
Your offer must be attractive to the email audience in order to be successful. Once you evaluate what offer is a best fit for your objectives, you need to make sure your offer is crafted in a way that makes it easy to understand. It also needs to be unique so that it piques your intended audiences interests. It also needs to be attractive to as wide of an audience as possible, and on that note, it needs to be shareable. Your offer should be shareable because almost everyone social networks and emails with the friends and family, so if an offer seems like something that a friend or family member would be interested in, they may share it, bringing in new business leads you otherwise may not have gotten.
Here are some tips to consider when creating and critiquing your offer:
- The lower the commitment, the more easily people will respond to it.
- Keep things simple, and quick as possible. Lengthy and complex offers will be abandoned and avoided. Provide a path to conversion that is obvious and easy to follow.
- Even the best graphic design cannot save a bad, misdirected offer.
- Keep the offer consistent with your brand and business.
- Timing is always important. Right place, right people, right time.
- The reward needs to justify the work the recipient puts in. The savings or benefit to the customer needs to be in line with the time and efforts that are required of them.

We're pleased to present this guest post by Sam Narisi of Frost & Sullivan. Read on for concrete tips to help unite sales and marketing.
All business units are under increasing pressure to show the real value they provide to the organization, and marketing is no different. That means marketers are no longer being asked simply to deliver a bunch of leads – they're being held accountable for making sure those contacts turn into actual revenue.
What can marketers do to meet those new demands? One of the keys is to work more closely with the sales team to ensure marketing strategies and sales goals are aligned.
Doing so will help both marketing and sales improve their operations and ultimately boost the company's bottom line.
Break down the silos
In too many organizations, marketing and sales teams operate separately, with little collaboration beyond marketers stuffing leads into the sales pipeline. However, there are some steps marketers can take to break down the silos and open up the lines of communication.
Here are five tips outlined by Rob Butters, Principal Analyst
with Frost & Sullivan, during a recent webinar:
- Align schedules – A lot of benefit can come from a fairly simple change: Get marketing and sales operating on the same cycle, with all planning geared toward the same goals. However, in many companies, marketing and sales do their planning and hold their big kick offs at different times of the year. Aligning those schedules will help get everyone on the same page.
- Get sales reps involved – Marketers can gain a lot by including members of the sales team in their planning sessions. And that means not only the sales director or VP of sales, but also the "voices on the street" – i.e., the sales people who are interacting directly with customers. Those people can share valuable opinions and insight that will help marketing do a better job at nurturing leads until they are "sales ready". For instance, they can shed light on potential customers' top concerns, what types of content attract the best prospects, and what kinds of feedback they're hearing straight from customers.
- Share information – Likewise, marketers have access to a lot of information that can help the sales team improve its results. For example, marketing should be able to know what actions leads have taken before they're contacted by a sales rep, for example, what white paper they downloaded, what video they watched, etc. Knowing those details will help sales reps conduct their conversations with prospects more effectively.
- Speak the same language – If marketing and sales are going to share information back and forth, it's important that both sides keep track of the right data. The two teams should meet to decide which metrics to track as well as decide on a common terminology so that everyone can understand each other.
- Review and refine the strategy – Getting marketing and sales aligned doesn't happen with one quick meeting. It's a never-ending process that requires continual effort by both sides to stay on the same page and working toward the same goal. That's why it's critical for leadership on both the sales and marketing sides to be on board and put in the effort to keep the collaboration going.
What is your experience getting sales and marketing working in tandem? Please share your successes and struggles!

Acclaimed Hollywood biographer Eyman (Print the Legend: The Life and Times of John Ford, 1999, etc.) tackles his most ambitious subject: the mogul of moguls who ran MGM.
To Esther Williams he was God, to producer Michael Balcon "the unspeakable Mayer," to Montgomery Clift a gangster on a throne. Yet the real reason it's hard to take the measure of Louis B. Mayer (1885–1957) is not that people held such dramatically different opinions of him, but that so many people were in a position to have opinions at all. The job Mayer held for most of his working life as head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (his name was added a year after the studio was formed in 1924) brought him into contact with everyone who was anyone in Hollywood. The story of his workaholic life is the story of MGM's most successful, indeed only successful, quarter-century, and of the talented specialists who worked for him: production chief Irving Thalberg, designer Cedric Gibbons, producer Arthur Freed. Most are long gone, but Eyman has talked to over a hundred who aren't and supplemented their memories with exhaustive archival research. The result is less a year-by-year chronicle of the legendary mogul's life than a biography of Hollywood's grandest studio during its grandest era. Though Eyman is scrupulously fair in documenting Mayer's "pit-bull aggressiveness mixed with a placating neediness," he defends Mayer against the charges of vulgarity and philistinism, pointing out that MGM's most characteristic films (Grand Hotel, The Wizard of Oz, The Human Comedy, An American in Paris) have dated more obviously than their counterparts at Paramount and Warner Bros. because they spoke more precisely to the audience of their time.
Eyman marshals thousands of facts, and dozens of opinions, with brio, wit and authority to create a monument worthy of the greatest studio head of them all. (16 pages b&w photos, not seen)

Playoff Bound!!!
The Linden-Kildare Tigers traveled to Quinlan Boles to take on the Hornets this past Friday night. L-K left town with a, 49-6, win ending regular season with an 8-2 record and 3-2 in district play.
With the win the Tigers finished second in district play and will be in playoff mode from here on out.
First Quarter
Linden-Kildare began the night on defense after Quinlan Boles won the coin toss and elected to receive. The Hornets' drive started off smooth but they would end up punting the ball. The Tigers' opening drive started off spectacular with a run by sophomore LaDavian Johnson for a 31-yard gain.
After just five plays the Tigers would find the end zone. The PAT was no good but L-K was up 6-0 with 6:50 left in the first.
The Hornets' next drive ended with a fumble caused by junior Ty Patterson. It was recovered by LaDavian Johnson. First-and-10 for your Tigers.
L-K would capitalize on the fumble with a 15-yard run by LaDavian Johnson for a Tiger touchdown.
The PAT run by senior Ja'Kevian Rose was good, bringing the score to 14-0 with 5:53 left.
On the kickoff junior Jacob Owen would cause the Hornets to fumble the ball which was recovered by the Tigers. First-and-10 Tigers.
Senior QB Marty Johnson would connect on the first play of the drive to Rose for a 38-yard touchdown. The PAT was good adding to the Tigers lead 21-0 with 5:39 to go in the first.
The Hornets' next drive would end with an interception by Owen who returned the pigskin for a 22-yard gain. Marty Johnson would connect with sophomore Deuce Schuler for 12 yards adding another Tiger first down.
Back-to-back runs by LaDavian Johnson would get the Tigers in the end zone with 3:34 left in the first. The PAT run was no good but L-K was up 27-0.
On the Hornets' next drive the Tigers again gained possession of the ball by a fumble caused by Patterson. Unfortunately L-K would have to punt the ball right back to the Hornets. Quinlan Boles would keep possession to end the first quarter.
Second Quarter
The Tiger defense would continue to dominate the Hornets' offense. Quinlan Boles would end up punting the ball. The Tigers' next drive would start and end with a single run by LaDavian Johnson for an 87-yard touchdown.
The PAT was no good but L-K increased its lead to 33-0 with 7:28 in the first half.
The Hornets gained only a few yards on their next drive before the ball was intercepted by junior Dalton Alford for a 14-yard return.
The Tigers would charge their way down field and score again with a run by Rose. The PAT kick was no good but the Tigers cushioned its lead at 39-0 with 2:34 left in the second quarter.
The Hornets' next drive was halted by a fumble caused by sophomore Nate Holloway. The Tigers would keep possession to end the half.
Third Quarter
L-K received the ball to start the second half.
After kickoff the Tigers didn't waste any time with back-to-back runs by LaDavian Johnson for a total of 53 yards for a touchdown. The PAT was good and L-K posted a commanding lead of 46-0 with 10:37 left in the third.
The Tigers' defense would step up on a fourth down conversion by the Hornets earning a Tiger first down. Multiple run plays by the Tigers got them into field goal range. The field goal by Marty Johnson was successful giving the Tigers a substantial lead of 49- 0 against the Hornets with 1:28 left in the third.
The Hornets would finally find the end zone with 12 seconds left in the quarter. The PAT was no good and the score stood at 49-6.
Fourth Quarter
The Tiger defense would stay strong throughout the fourth quarter and keep the Hornets from getting anywhere near the end zone. The final seconds ticked off with L-K securing at 49-6 win over the Hornets.
L-K had 17 first downs with 378 rushing yards and 428 yards of total offense. L-K went 3-for-6 for a total of 50 passing yards.
The Tigers broke two records this season so far. The first record was broken by Marty Johnson who connected with Rose for a 95-yard touchdown. The previous record had been held since 1988. It was a touchdown pass from Cory Pate to David Powell for 80 yards.
The second record broken this year was by junior Ty Patterson with 183 total tackles so far this season. The previous record was held by the late Dustynn Shrader of 166 total tackles for a season back in 1999. The Tigers won district runner up this year and are in the playoffs. Congratulations to these young men for their accomplishments this season so far.
The first playoff game is set for this Thursday night in Big Sandy at 7:00 p.m. The Tigers will take on Kerens. L-K will be the home team.
These young men have showed great pride all season long so come out and give them your support. Don't forget your blue and white. Come ready to be loud and help cheer these boys on to another victory. We are FAMILY.

PINEHURST, N.C. — Par is an idol in Far Hills, N.J., for 51 weeks a year. The 52nd week, the USGA takes its show on the road to iconic courses that need no introduction. Pinehurst, Pebble, Oakmont, Shinnecock. For one — maybe two — days of that week, they allow green complexes to bake out, set dastardly pins and dare players to take aim. Tough tests are synonymous with the U.S. Open, and par must be protected like a queen in a castle. Modern course setups on the Tour schedule are anything but distinctive, and the heightened degree of difficulty ("The toughest test in golf," they like to say) is a big part of what makes the U.S. Open special.
Not today. The USGA lost any chance of a compelling Sunday in their premier event with Saturday's course setup.
Two players finished under par during the third round of the U.S. Open with Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton carding 67s. Five players shot level par. Sixty players couldn't break 70. No player made it through the day without at least one bogey. Poor Toru Taniguchi shot an 88. It was the lowest number of sub-par rounds at a U.S. Open since the final round at Oakmont in 2007.
After two days doing his best Tiger Woods-circa 2001 impression, Kaymer returned to this planet with a 2-over 72. He had played flawlessly in his two opening rounds, and it didn't matter where pins were, how far back tees were pushed or what the weather was like. Kaymer was second in fairways hit (25 of 28), fifth in greens in regulation (26 of 36) and fourth in total putts (54). When a player gets in a groove like that, 65-65 happens. Records are broken.
The USGA responded by attempting to Kaymer-proof No. 2. Instead, they tied one hand behind the back of every player trying to go low to make up ground on Kaymer.
"Every pin was pretty much in its toughest position out there today," said two-time U.S. Open champ Retief Goosen. "They made sure there were no low scores out there."
"It was probably the hardest setup I've ever experienced in a major championship," said Kenny Perry, who's played in 50 majors from 1988 to 2014. The end result was a lack of a sustained challenge from the bevy of capable players lurking on the leaderboard.
Kaymer's play on Saturday was shaky at times. He badly missed four fairways after missing just three in his opening two rounds. He failed to coax in the 10-12 footers he dropped with ease Thursday and Friday. He appeared to be plummeting from the stratosphere back to earth. What the USGA did Saturday was make sure no player was able to jump him — or even reach striking distance — on his way down. The scoring average on Day 3 was a full stroke higher than Day 2. If the setup was less penal, there's a good chance at least one of Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Brandt Snedeker, Matt Kuchar, Henrik Stenson or Rory McIlroy could have broken par to make some kind of run at Kaymer.
Those dreams were dashed when the pin sheet was released Saturday morning, and along with it, any hope of a dramatic finale.
Kaymer teed off at 3:25 p.m. with a six-shot lead that matched Woods (2000) and McIlroy (2011) for the largest 36-hole margin in U.S. Open history. Woods and McIlroy both finished off their respective fields in dominant fashion, winning by 15 and eight strokes.
Tiger's victory was his third-career major and the start of an eventual "Tiger Slam," where he would go on to hold all four major championship trophies at the same time. His runaway at Pebble was the most-watched U.S. Open at the time since 1987.
Rory McIlroy's victory at Congressional marked his first major title and the beginning of the then-21-year-old's ascent up the World Ranking. He was the youngest U.S. Open champ in over a century.
We watched two of the game's superior stars plant their flags in the ground as the next great player of their generation. For all of his accolades — the 2010 PGA, Ryder Cup magic, the 2014 Players — Martin Kaymer is no Tiger. He's not even a Rory in terms of marketing potential and transcendent talent.
Drama was killed Saturday morning before a single player teed off. But par was saved.

Close encounter with Mallee's gentle giant
People travelled from across the Mallee and as well as Maryborough in Central Victoria for unique Carpet Python spotlighting workshop at Sea Lake.
While the 20 participants didn't have any luck spotting the peaceful, slow-moving Mallee reptile by torchlight, they still had the chance to get up close to Morelia spilota metcalfei (Inland Carpet Python).
Mallee CMA last week hosted the dinner and workshop as part of the $22m Lake Tyrrell Project, funded by the Victorian Government, Our Catchments Our Communities. The initiative is part of the Water for Victoria plan, aimed at improving the health of catchments for the benefit of Victorians.
Mallee CMA chair Sharyon Peart said the spotlighting survey was in response to anecdotal reports of declining python activity in the Tyrrell Creek region.
"Carpet Pythons are harmless to humans and generally Mallee people are really fond of them," Ms Peart said.
"They're found along the floodplain and in woodlands along waterways, especially around Tyrrell Creek and along the Murray River, but there are concerns about their vulnerability because of threats to their habitat and from predators," she said.
"There are some known populations in the Sea Lake area but we did think we would need to be lucky to find some on the night of the workshop, so we brought along one for people to have a look at."
Local scientist and wildlife expert, Alex Holmes, led the workshop which discussed the ecological values of the Tyrrell and Lalbert Creeks, threats faced by the habitats and actions communities can take to address some of the threats.
Mallee CMA Project Officer for Land and Biodiversity Kate McWhinney said Inland Carpet Pythons are listed as a threatened species in Victoria.
"They live in leaf litter, hollow trees and fallen timber, so they can be quite hard to spot," Ms McWhinney said.
"While we weren't lucky enough to see any on the night, our spotlighting survey did find some beautiful native species, including a Barn Owl, Southern Boobook Owl, Owlet-nightjar, White winged triller and Common Brushtail possums."
Feedback from the event showed participants were keen to learn about particular issues and local species, and enjoyed the opportunity for a hands-on experience.
Fourth generation Tyrrell Creek resident, Cameron Warne attended the event with his son Hugo and said they both enjoyed the chance to get up close to the district's icon species.
"It was a great chance to have a really good look at a python during the workshop – the kids loved it, but I think it gave everyone a bit of a buzz," he said.
"It was an intergenerational event, really. There were people of all ages glad of the chance to find out a bit more about the python, the habitat it needs, its breeding patterns and what we can do to make sure it's protected."
The Tyrrell Project: Ancient Landscapes, New Connections, is a community-driven landscape-scale project that celebrates the unique social, cultural and environmental values of this iconic landscape by developing strong working partnerships to deliver lasting outcomes.

Living like a moth
Michael Ignatieff
- The Other Russia: The Experience of Exile by Michael Glenny and Norman Stone
Faber, 475 pp, £14.99, March 1990, ISBN 0 571 13574 9
- Inferences on a Sabre by Claudio Magris, translated by Mark Thompson
Polygon, 87 pp, £9.95, May 1990, ISBN 0 7486 6036 4
I have always wondered when my grandparents realised they would never see Russia again. In July 1917, when they locked up the house on Fourstatskaya Street in Petrograd, left the key with my grandfather's valet and set off with a party of servants for Kislovodsk, a spa town in the north Caucasus, they told the children that they were all going for a summer holiday. That is what they said. But what were they thinking? The disintegration of the Provisional Government was underway. One of their sons swears he overheard his father whispering to another relative: 'I've got to get them out of here.' And my grandmother, whatever reassuring fictions she may have told her children, took her jewellery with her, and ordered the maid servants to pack a trunk of family valuables. Some shadow passed across her mind, and she took precautions, and that is why there is a silver ewer and basin in my house, one piece of family linen with a monogrammed crest and two bits of jewellery. Without that instant of hesitation, they might have been lost.
Yet I suspect that even when Russia's Black Sea coast was receding astern in the spring of 1919, my grandmother and grandfather still kept the hope of return alive in some unreconciled region of their minds. My grandfather was heard to remark that it might be possible to join Kolchak's White Army in Siberia. In the meantime, the boys would be enrolled at St Paul's School in Hammersmith. When I look at the photographs of my grandparents on their farm in Sussex, it is not until the mid-Twenties, after the definitive defeat of Kolchak and all the rest, after the recognition of the Bolshevik regime by the Western powers, that I begin to see – imprinted in their faces – the recognition that they would never return. A new grimness and bleakness are evident in their eyes. They have come face to face with the irrevocable.
This is one of the great themes of exile: how the temporary becomes permanent, how the doubt kept at bay grows into a certainty, how, finally, the candle gutters out. What was remarkable about the White Russians is how long they cupped that candle with their hands. Packed suitcases were stored under beds in miserable Paris apartments for decades until death put an end to pretending. Children born in exile were raised to believe that one day they would return to the lost kingdom. Some of these children regarded the Nazi invasion of June 1941 as a providential sign that the time for return had come at last, and they died in the Russian snows, clad in Wehrmacht uniforms. Their deaths exemplify the incorrigible hold of fantasy upon exile life.
Then there is the theme of remembrance as torture. Hunting for mushrooms under the dark trees at the bottom of the 'English garden'; the three bells at Russian stations; the crunch of felt boots on white snow: in every miserable hotel in Clichy, in every little cottage in Clamart in the Twenties, such memories had the power to transport the haunted rememberer across time only to hurl him back into the odour-filled prison of Russian poverty with its black bread, cabbage soup and paraffin stoves.
To the themes of memory as torture and the slow asphyxiation of hope must be added the theme of defilement: the estate pillaged and set to the torch, the Chinese silk ripped from the walls, the icons looted or tossed onto pyres, steeples toppled and family bookshelves rifled. It is the cruelty of parallel time that makes the defilement so hard to bear: knowing that as you emptied another dustbin in Nice or took another fare in your Paris taxi, some stranger, some nest of families, was partitioning your apartment on the Liteiny Prospekt or on Galernaya Street and was either tearing up your floorboards for fuel, or ripping your curtains for bedding. In my grandmother's memoirs the passages where anger and grief mix together into something close to despair are elicited by images of desecration: the moment, for example, when she describes how her mother's estate, Doughino, was burned to the ground, and her brother was made to sweep out the filth in the prison yard of the local town.
There wasn't only loss and despair, however: exile also offered the possibility of liberation from the chains of the past. As the exiled artist Vitaly Komar remarks in The Other Russia, 'Russia is an island. And the impossibility of reaching that island can be a stimulus to painting.' In Speak, Memory Nabokov wrote of the 'syncopal kick' of exile, of dispossession so juddering the frame of memory that it roused the artistic imagination to seize that frame and get the once-clearly-seen picture to stabilise into clarity again. If all writing springs from estrangement, from some inextinguishable puzzlement about what is, then one can think of exile as a condition which forces that puzzlement on those who might otherwise have taken their reality for granted.
Inch by inch, instant by instant, Nabokov had to reconquer with his prose a reality which, until exile absurdly supervened, had been his for the asking. To wonder whether exile made him a better writer than he might otherwise have been, to suggest that exile might even have been the precondition of his writing, is just as foolish as wishing that one's writing could be tempered and deepened by a sharp, but preferably short, dose of Eastern European censorship, imprisonment or oppression. One would not wish exile on anyone, but dispossession did make pre-revolutionary experience unreachable and thus incited a few heroic talents – Nabokov, Bunin, Berberova, Tsvetaeva, Khodasevitch – to reclaim it for the imagination. Thanks to their efforts, the Russian Ancien Régime is a kind of Atlantis of the European mind, as vivid beneath the waves as it was above them.
Norman Stone and Michael Glenny's book is a scrapbook of Atlantis, an oral history of survivors from the sinking. Many of them were in their eighties when Glenny's tape-recorder finally reached them in their close, cluttered rooms and for this alone – preserving these ancient voices before they went silent – we can be grateful. What is incredible about these old remembrancers is how much historical time is encoded in their memories. Sometimes it even amazes the exiles themselves, as when Irina Ilovskaya says of her grandmother: 'Just imagine, she was born in the Caucasus and died in Paraguay.'

Heavy Metal
C.R. Willie
AuthorHouse (2014)
Reviewed by William Phenn for Reader Views (04/14)
Article first published as Book Review: 'Heavy Metal' by C.R. Willie on Blogcritics.
Rarely does a book come along that makes me take an interest in the author but "Heavy Metal" by C.R. Willie did just that. When I read the book, I was intrigued to learn more about the author, his background and what possessed him to write this book.
Randy Willie lives in Idaho with his wife, Lois. They have four children and eight grandchildren. Mr. Willie grew up in a small town out West. He received his bachelor's degree from Utah State University, and then went on to get his Master degrees from Idaho State University and the University of Idaho. Mr. Willie presently teaches secondary English and history at a local school in Idaho. He not only teaches classes he also coaches high school sports and owns a driver's education school. As a young man he was always intrigued by the local legend of an "iron door" that concealed a hidden treasure; he explored in the area of the Samaria Mountains where a treasure was supposed to be and this is where his story begins.
Jack Crampton was a miner on a mission. He was in search of the "mother lode". The mother lode was a vein of a mineral that was instrumental in the war effort and caused nations great concerns over its use. Jack Crampton had traveled a long way into the Samaria Mountains, in his quest of this precious mineral.
Randy tells the reader what hardships poor Jack had to endure and what troubles would be caused by this precious metal. Jack had no idea of the ramifications of his find; he could not imagine the affects it had on the world scene. This would-be legend went from a local tall tale to the missile talks with Cuba. Jack knew he was getting close when he had revealed evidence of lead and silver, and an enormous deposit of a grayish, chalky mineral. With this discovery began the legend of the Iron Door.
Burt Jones was the retired air force officer that led the way in a race against time to control this heavy metal. Not only would this mineral decide U.S. military might, it would prevent our domination by the Russians.
I enjoyed "Heavy Metal" by C.R. Willie because it was a well written, very well researched and above all, entertaining literary work. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire 387 pages. The editing was quality as well as the writing. I gave it a very strong B on my tight scale and consider it a good read for general audiences.


text: Elizabeth Heil Alke (1877-1938)Noted as a painter of landscapes, portraits and flowers, Elizabeth Heil was born August 3, 1877, near Columbus (Franklin), a daughter of Michael, a farmer, and his wife Margaret. During the late 1890's and early 1900's, she studied intermittently at the Art Academy of Cincinnati (Hamilton), under Caroline Lord, Henrietta Wilson, Thomas S. Noble, and Otto Walter Beck. She won awards at the 1898 and 1900 Ohio State Fairs for portraits and figures in oil, giving her home address as "Zimmer," a very small south-eastern suburb of Columbus, Ohio. During her student day, she crossed paths with her future husband, Stephen Alke, at least twice: one in 1900, when they wer ... Displaying 750 of 2479 characters.

It was just a little rock pile. Not like the ones on down the road that were completed and ready for projects. But what made this rock pile interesting was the little boy sitting on the pile, hammer in hand, tap, tap, tapping.
The morning sun cast shafts of light across his little pile and the air was still cool from the night. Tap, tap, tap and the little hammer continued on.
Groups of children passed by on their way to school, laughing, and usually carrying a stick or two for the school cook to make the noon time meal. The little boy turns away. Tap, tap, tap.
Construction in the out of the way village of Dos-Palais is rather crude by US standards. But also very modern as you compare it to Haitian standards. Cement bricks, mortar, gravel, and rebar all were being used for the new medical clinic in the center of town. Most of the supplies came from Loscohobas which is about an hours drive on rough roads. But the gravel came from Dos-Palais. Hard labor produced that gravel.
Rocks were taken from the river as the children transported water back home to their Mothers' kitchen. They either carried the rock in their hands and balanced the bucket of water on their head or the rock on their head and the bucket in hand. Either way, the rocks were transported to the growing rock pile being made into large chunk gravel used by the workmen for the new clinic.
Money is important to the family trying to keep up with food for 8 or 10 kids. The money for the gravel is quickly gone. So everyone that is strong enough to swing the hammer works, never mind school because many of them have no money for that dream.
So he sat on the rock pile. Tap, tap, tap. As I came near I asked him why he wasn't in school. Not wanting to answer he dipped his head down to look away. It's so hard to hide the tears and the hurt of seeing your friends walking to school and now this man wants to know why. How do I answer he questioned to himself.
Finally, in as few words as possible he explained he could not go to school because his family could not afford the uniform. Family information was given and I knew of his father.
Here I stand, a man born in Haiti, with memories of growing up poor and the unknown flooding through me, knowing somewhat how this little boy felt.
"Lord, there are so many, where do I start!" And the Still Small Voice said "Just one, start with just one!".

Next time someone says vanilla is boring, smile and wink– this coffee is anything but! Chocolate and grapefruit flirt with the overwhelming vanilla notes to create a sweet, yet edgy, cup.
Sourced from small growers in Monserrate, located in the Southwestern state of Huila. Tasting notes of deep chocolate, vanilla, and grapefruit.
"Plenty of vanilla up front, bright acidity and grapefruit as it cools a bit, nice coffee"
"Lots of Vanilla flavor but for me, it tasted amazing drinking it black."
"Lots of vanilla, but not too much else. Use it fast, flavor seems to fade fast. "
"The grapefruit notes in this coffee through me off a bit - the natural bitterness in grapefruit conflicted a bit for me with the vanilla notes and I wanted a caramel note to bridge them, but none exists. "
"i get the vanilla here and not so much the grapefruit."
"Delicious smell after brewed. I smelled some strawberry in it. Very easy to pick up on the dark choc note. Not much body, conplexity or aftertaste to it, though. Once it cools down (to about 135F) you will taste some delcious acidity to it."
"A great light roast. I didn't pick up the grapefruit as it mentions but certainly has a nice smooth vanilla flavor. "
"This is a very good light roast. The flavors are an odd but good mix making it easy and smooth to drink."
"A great coffee, light and refreshing. I really like the hints of vanilla and chocolate."

It is really difficult to study, work in the restaurant and write articles but I hope I will be able to make it. I though I would be able to making my own pics but I usually come home quite late so the lighting is not good enough. I am going to try to find some photographer who can help me with my blog so wish me luck. 19:59 45 Comments

I have been meaning to write about this for the past 2 weeks, but I needed to let the topic simmer in my head before I went and wrote all kinds of dark, hopeless and pessimistic thoughts here. So, let me preface this by saying that I have never been in an official long-lasting public boyfriend-girlfriend relationship before, mostly because:
1. I didn't really like the guys that liked me and were heading down that track
2. The ones that I did like, were trying to get in my pants without any sort of established relationship.
Nothing out of the ordinary here, just the good old struggle that comes with being a girl. Anyways, that was just a disclaimer that will make sense later.
I think when I was very young, I really couldn't wait to be asked out and have a boyfriend, get married, and have kids. It was like my ultimate dream – right around 9 years old. And oh, how things have changed. At this point I'm 23, and I am not the biggest believer in the existence of healthy, functional relationships. My close friends today have pretty much all been in and out of relationships for the past 6 years or so since I've known them. I've been a part of all of those relationships, became friends with the significant others, and at one point was even the maid of honor for one of the ones who got engaged… And through all that I have witnessed and been intricately (too much so) a part of, I can honestly say that I'm just about to completely give up on the notion that there's such a thing as a genuinely good relationship. By this I mean a relationship where there's no cheating, no emotional or physical abuse, a good balance of reciprocity, a level of independence, a healthy existence of jealousy, and a good amount of arguing that will always be there.
Trust me, I've thought to myself "maybe I just need new friends" and "maybe I'm just expecting some kind of Disney 'happily ever after'" – but I'm really not. This might also be screaming trust issues, daddy issues, jaded, etc… And yes, there's a little bit of all of those in there, maybe more than I'd like to have or admit to. But seriously please explain this to me –
1. Friend A: With boyfriend for 2 years, 3 months. Was a virgin with a few issues who finally gave up the V-card 2 years in (poor guy)… 2 months later, the guy breaks up with her the day before her birthday (actually, no – they went on a "break" that day, and 4 days later he changed his relationship status to "single" on Facebook, that's how she found out it was actually over). He was a nice guy, but honestly he was super quiet and then when he was drunk he was hilarious and wouldn't shut up. That was a huge red flag for me but still…
2. Friend B: Came into college with high school sweetheart and too much baggage I guess. 5 years together. They were the ones that got engaged and whose wedding I was helping to plan. They got engaged when he was 20, she was 19 (I know, I know) because she was ready for the next step and they had all these plans.. Only for her to realize that he wasn't the man she wanted to be with, break off the engagement, get back together, get re-engaged (with a new ring), break up AGAIN, get back together, cheat on him and FINALLY end things for real. She kept both rings by the way… Here I'm 100% on the guy's side, not on my friend's by the way.
Friend B has recently entered a new relationship. The guy seemed extremely different from what she was used to (and from her life in general) but I thought it would be a good change from the path she was on. Turns out this new guy who is a seemingly harmless computer-fixing/comic-con type of nerd, is actually a possessive A-type guy, completely closed-minded to everything related to alcohol, going out and partying (ok fine), very into S&M (not really a problem, just a huge surprise from just looking at him), and who "weighs" my friend every Saturday and pushes her to lose weight and get to a healthy BMI (ok now I'm pissed). I'm fully aware that he can push as much as he wants, and it's up to her to stop him, but really though!
3. Mom and Dad: this is extremely complicated to even get into, but picture a perfect couple that everyone looks up to and envy. The kind of couple that goes so well together that you just want what they have. Together for 30 years until dad decides he doesn't love mom anymore (completely understandable) and then with really intricate lying goes off with the woman they've known for almost 20 years (who is also married and whose daughter is my Goddaughter) that ran their business, and is now in a relationship with. No words about my feelings here.
I could go on here for pages and pages, but my point is, in all the people I have gotten actually close to and have seen first-hand the ins and outs and the good and bad of their relationships… I have become horrified by the bad – but even worse, by the fact that the person who the bad is being done to doesn't seem to realize or have a problem with it.
I am literally scared of what's out there. Is there really someone that you match with so well, that doesn't expect you to give up your life and dreams, that doesn't leave you for your best friend, that doesn't have some hardcore mental disorder, that is not a diagnosed addict or booked sex offender/criminal…. etc?
And I know that "normal" is subjective and completely exclusive to each individual and to that relationship… Maybe because I haven't been in a stable and serious relationship myself, I might be looking at the bad outweighing the good. But is the good THAT good to override all of the REALLY bad?

Consumers are used to lightbulbs looking rather run-of-the-mill, but get a load of these kooky Dahom CFL Candle Lamps. They don't embody the familiar bulb shape that most would recognize, nor do they reveal the helical coil that has come to replace the incandescent lightbulb.
Actually, these Dahom Fujian creations do make use of that spiraling fluorescent technology in a compact and energy-saving design. The pointy appearance of the fixtures comes from a covering skin of silicon material that diffuses the intense illumination and emulates the appearance of a licking candle flame. The Dahom CFL Candle Lamps would look particularly fitting if installed within a contemporary chandelier, radiating warm yellow light like more traditional tapers.

A lorry fire caused the northbound carriageway of the M1 to close for several hours.
Emergency services were called to the motorway between junctions 37 and 38 at Barnsley after the lorry carrying hay bales caught fire at about 2.10pm on Saturday.
The northbound carriageway and the junction 37 slip road were closed while fire crews and traffic officers deal with the blaze.
Three appliances were at the scene and fire crews used foam to dampen down the fire, and a forklift to remove the bales from the lorry.
A South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue spokesman said the amount of smoke had caused the carriageway to close. It later reopened at about 1.30am.
No injuries have been reported.

Effect of Helicobacter Pylori Eradication on the New Tumor Development After Endoscopic Resection of Gastric Tumors
The association between Helicobacter pylori infection and development of gastric cancer has
been established by epidemiologic studies. Conversely, eradication of H. pylori showed no
significant reduction of the incidence of gastric cancer in a large-scale, double-blind,
randomized controlled trial. Eradication of H. pylori to prevent cancer was only effective
in the subgroup without precancerous lesions (i,e, dysplasia, intestinal metaplasia, and
atrophy). In contrast, randomized prospective study in Japan showed that H. pylori
eradication after endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer significantly reduced
metachronous gastric cancer. To solve this conflicting issue is critical because gastric
cancer is the second leading cancer incidence worldwide, particularly Korea, Japan, and
China have highest cancer incidence, and its incidence might decrease by H. pylori
eradication treatment.
With respect to therapeutic modality, endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer is
currently the established treatment of choice in Korea and Japan because it has been proven
to be both minimally invasive and effective in the curative treatment of early gastric
Endoscopic resection has also been performed in the gastric dysplasia because dysplasia has
to some extent malignant potential although firm evidence is lacking. In comparison with
surgical resection, endoscopic resection conserves remnant stomach. Accordingly, patients
treated with endoscopic resection have higher possibility for metachronous gastric cancer
than those treated with surgical resection.
So far, it has not yet been clearly established whether H pylori eradication for gastric
tumors (early gastric cancer and gastric dysplasia) could reduce metachronous cancer. We
performed randomized controlled, open-label trial on the effect of new cancer development
after H pylori eradication for gastric tumors.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Effect of eradication of Helicobacter pylori on incidence of metachronous gastric carcinoma after endoscopic resection of gastric tumor.
Primary outcome is the incidence of new cancer development after endoscopic resection of gastric tumors between eradication and control groups. Previous reports showed the incidence of new cancer between two groups differs at least 3years.
we set the time frame as at least three years.

The price of a nape piercing varies depending on the shop but on average runs around $50. As with any specialty piercing, it is not advisable to sacrifice quality for a cheaper price on a nape piercing.
Nape piercings have a high rate of rejection if not properly placed and measured, so it is important to gauge the professionalism of a studio before having any piercings done. The healing time for a nape piercing is between 10 and 12 months but can increase if there are any complications with the piercing. These complications can be minimized with proper care, which often includes purchasing cleaning products that add to the final cost.

The transition to more energy efficient infrastructures has to take into account the implications to Quality of Service (QoS) / Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements based on the supported services and applications as well as the requirements imposed by the network administrators and services providers. At the same time, much higher flexibility, as well as enhanced control and management capabilities, are required to effectively deal with the performance/power consumption trade-off, once the new dimension of energy-awareness is taken into account in all phases of network design and operation. The overall configuration needs to be consistent (i.e.,minimum power consumption & QoS constraint satisfaction).
This challenge is going to be addressed by the Energy Efficiency vs QoS trade-off Use Case based on the technological artefacts that will be developed within ARCADIA. Sophisticated distributed control/management techniques can be realistically deployed – both at the network edge and inside the network – to dynamically shape the allocation of resources and relocate applications and network functionalities, trading off QoS/QoE and energy at multiple granularity levels. Several challenges are going to be faced such as ensuring scalability of the provided solutions based on distributed intelligence schemes among the Smart Controllers, avoiding communications overhead where necessary and proper placement of controllers.
It is important to note that access to energy-aware data will be supported based on the adoption of the Green Abstraction Layer (GAL) standard, mainly developed within the framework of the ECONET project and recently adopted as an ETSI standard, that allows to map the hardware level management of energy consumption in the various network devices. GAL offers a simple and uniform interface to the control plane based on which it makes explicit the trade-off between consumption and network performance, it facilitates the mapping of consumption of hardware blocks with virtual/logical network resources and hides the details/complexity of internal power modulation mechanisms. Different energy profiles for each device associated with specific performance issues will be supported in the use case.
Regarding the testbed for the deployment of the use case, the DROP distributed software router is going to be used (a prototype implementation is available by the involved TNT lab (www.tnt-lab.unige.it) from CNIT within the framework of the ECONET project). DROP aims to enable a novel distributed paradigm for the control and the management of flexible IP-router platforms based on commodity HW and the Linux operating system. From a physical point of view, the DROP architecture is composed of three main building blocks: a number of devices (or "elements") running the SW for performing operations at the data- and/or control-plane; a number of network interfaces toward "external public" networks (i.e., toward other network devices); an "internal private" network that is used to exchange data-path traffic and inter-element signalling messages. In rough words, DROP allows building extensible and flexible multi-chassis routers on top of server HW platforms and the Linux operating system.
More information about the use case will be published as the project progresses.

Polaris Venom Echelon gilet £54.99
Polaris's Venom Echelon is a close-fitting gilet made up with stretchy, soft shell fabric that provides good wind protection while a nice big stretchy mesh panel on the back keeps you from overheating.
The elasticated armholes and gripper hem make for a good fitting gilet.
Constructed with just one zip pocket on the back and accessed from the side, it proved to be tricky to use, especially on the move, this meant using my jersey cargo pockets underneath.
As a minimum a gilet like this needs to have one stuff pocket in which to place warmers or a shower proof jacket and thus increase the modular use of the gilet.
Neither all singing nor budget makes the Venom a somewhat lost garment, it?s works OK but for me it?s let down because of the lack of pockets.
