How to Use Your Own SSL & FQDN Certificate with V15 and above
On this topic
Getting Started With Your Own Certificate
3CX v15 and above include the option of allowing 3CX to manage FQDN & SSL certificates at no extra charge. For many companies it is preferable to manage the PBX via their own Domain Server and Domain. For these installations a certificate needs to be provided during the installation of 3CX, stating the desired FQDN for the PBX.
- You must own your own public domain name (e.g. mycompany.com)
- You must own your own public manageable DNS (e.g. Google Cloud DNS)
- You must have an FQDN certificate (e.g. 3cx.mycompany.com)
Publicly trusted certificates
These are automatically issued by 3CX for your installation when using the 3CX top level domains. They are widely accepted by endpoints such as browsers and IP Phones. The authority (the certificate issuing company), ensures the validity of the FQDN ownership before the certificate is handed to the administrator of the domain and against the endpoints. In most cases, this comes with a fee to get "out of the box" trust that removes the warnings which are seen above and hence simplifies remote provisioning. Examples of major players in the trusted certificate market are GoDaddy, Thawte, GeoTrust, and VeriSign.
It is recommended to check with your IP phone endpoints first to make sure that the device has the root CA (the certificate that will remove the warning messages) built into the device by default. Below is a list of IP vendors with a built-in root CA certificate as taken from their admin guides on July 13th 2016. This may of course change at any time:
- Fanvil - Blindly trust all SSL connections
- Htek - Blindly trust all SSL connections
- Snom - TBA
- Yealink - CA List (Appendix B)
Getting Started With Your Own Certificate
In the below documents we have outlined the pros and cons of migrating to or starting a V15 or above installation on your own domain.
Obtaining your Own Certificate with GoDaddy
Obtaining your Own Certificate with Start SSL
You must first decide which certification authority you are going to use and find out whether or not it's implemented into your IP phones by default. Once you have reached a decision, follow the procedures in the documents, depending on the authority you have chosen.

After Janet Jackson announced her decision to postpone several performances on her Unbreakable World Tour due to an unspecified surgery, rumors spread that the singer was battling throat cancer, but Jackson has taken it upon herself to deny any rumors of the disease, mostly by quoting her own advice. In a video posted from her social-media accounts and on her website titled "From My Lips," Jackson presented a Star Wars–like scroll through the lyrics of her own song, "The Great Forever," which includes the lines, "Sources say but where ya gettin' it/ Don't create the truth you like," before releasing her statement to the world. In that statement, Jackson wrote that she did not have cancer, though she still was "recovering" from an operation that she did not specify. The singer also stated that her doctors have approved her concerts scheduled in Europe, and that, as promised, the postponed shows will be rescheduled. Jackson's message was prefaced on social media with an announcement from her team, which reads: "It was Janet's wish not to make any further comments about her health, however, because of the great concern from around the world, Janet will be releasing a personal message shortly."
The full text of Jackson's statement reads:
Remember … believe it when you hear it from my lips.
The rumors are untrue.
I do not have cancer.
I'm recovering.
My doctors have approved my concerts as scheduled in Europe, and as I promised, the postponed shows will be rescheduled.
Thank you for your prayers and love.

British-expats in Saskatchewan have been watching the "Brexit" vote closely.
Simon Reynolds who lives and works in Saskatoon doesn't think the concept of the E.U. worked to begin with.
"The idea of morphing all these countries under one banner, pretty ridiculous to begin with," he commented.
Reynolds is looking to the future and the positives that can be found in the result of a vote to leave.
"We have control back again over the destiny, the direction we take," Reynolds explained. "It is up to us, it is up to the country, the British people to direct that future."
The owner of Churchill's British Imports in Saskatoon said more than 60 per cent of 18 to 24 year olds in Britain voted to stay.
"They've only know what it's like to be in the EU, this was a nasty, vicious campaign and the fear of the unknown set into people."
Tony Badger said it's been a controversial topic in his store all day Friday.
"People like my father and grandfather know how things used to be and how they've changed," he said.
Others are feeling the uncertainty, more worried about what this means.
"We need to let the dust settle and see where this takes us," said Tim Johnson, another expat working in Regina. "It is certainly a strike to the establishment."
There is certainly concern about the future of the United Kingdom with expectations another Scottish independence referendum will lead to the break-up of one of the world's oldest unions.
Reynolds takes the quintessential British approach.
"Now is time for everyone to buckle down and do what is best for the country."

Nineteen months after three University of Mississippi students had draped an old Georgia state flag and a noose around the statue of the first African American on campus — James Meredith— one defendant was sentenced to prison in federal court in Oxford yesterday. Sandra Knispel reports.
A somber-looking Graeme Phillip Harris, clutching his hands tightly through much of the proceedings, told Federal District Judge Michael Mills that he was truly sorry and wanted to apologize to James Meredith, the Ole Miss community, and his own family.
The judge, while taking into consideration that large amounts of alcohol had been consumed, also looked at the student's prior record that included multiple arrests for alcohol and disorderly conduct. He told the defendant: "You were re-enacting a lynching. I can't think of a worse place for you to have done that. When you have the freedom to act you also have consequences." The consequence, he said, was punishment, that Harris "had escaped thus far."
Federal prosecutor Chad Lamar sums up the sentence: "Mr. Harris was sentenced to six months in prison, 12 months supervised release, following that 100 hours of community service. No fine in this instance but he was ordered to pay $25 special assessment."
During the sentencing, Harris's father repeatedly muttered an obscenity commonly abbreviated as B.S. — earning himself a forceful eviction warning from a marshal in the courtroom. Afterward, Brandi Hephner LaBanc, the university's Vice Chancellor for student affairs, seemed relieved.
"I'm just happy that we've worked through this and we are at a place where our campus community can move forward and hopefully allow the healing to begin."
Harris had pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanor charge of threatening force to intimidate African-American students and employees at the university. In exchange for that plea, prosecutors had dropped a stiffer felony charge. The judge, noting that he was glad that Harris was back at a university, delayed the start of the prison term to the beginning of January of 2016 — so that Harris could finish first his current semester. Harris told the judge that he wants to change his life.

The sun starts to set as The Wood Brothers take the stage at Baltimore's Druid Hill Park. Surrounded by trees and a lawn filled with folk and bluegrass fans, the band begins their set. Multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix, flanked by the brothers Chris and Oliver Wood under the red glow of stage lights, warms his hands on a chilly April evening.
Oliver Wood kicks off the show by picking out a slow folk ballad on his acoustic guitar. His brother outlines the guitar chords on an upright bass, and Rix plays a beat on his self-proclaimed shuitar – a crummy guitar he transformed into a percussion instrument with tuna cans and other noisemakers.
The band sings their stories in soulful three-part harmonies while many audience members sing along.
After opening the set with a few slower, more traditional folk tunes, Oliver trades his acoustic for a hallow-body electric guitar, and Rix takes his place behind his drum set.
Chris uses a bow to play a virtuosic classical-style solo on bass as the festival sits in awe. When his solo comes to a close, his brother comes in with an upbeat, blues-soaked funky guitar riff and Rix launches into a groovy beat on the drums. The crowd can't help but move to the beat.
Jordan August and Phil Chorney stand off-stage surveying the scene with walkie-talkies in hand and a solemn look on their faces. The co-owners and co-creators of the festival listen to The Wood Brothers' harmonies and impressive musicianship, but there are more pressing concerns. Will the bus that is taking The Wood Brothers to their hotel make it through the rioting downtown? Is the event running on time? Is everyone enjoying themselves? Are people going to stick around for the last few bands after it gets dark? Will they get back their security deposit on the park? Is the festival living up to its reputation? With so many things that can go wrong, Chorney and August hardly have the time to stop and enjoy their own event.
"Baltimore is a working-class, blue-collar town, with great people, great food, great beer and great music," Chorney says. "So let's celebrate that."
While protests and social unrest were bubbling into riots near Camden Yards on April 25, Baltimore's Druid Hill Park was an oasis of peace and music as thousands attended the 3rd Annual Charm City Folk and Bluegrass Festival.
The festival featured performances from national and local folk and bluegrass acts including The Travelin' McCourys, The Wood Brothers, The Seldom Scene, Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen, Cris Jacobs, The Bumper Jacksons, Grand Ole' Ditch, Letitia VanSant, Chester River Runoff, Charm City Junction, The Herd of Main Street and The Manly Deeds. The event also had local craft vendors, selling everything from hula-hoops to cider, beer, banjos, bowties and falafels.
The Charm City Folk and Bluegrass Festival is the latest chapter in a long history of bluegrass music in Baltimore – a history that has been all but forgotten, according to August and Chorney. They share a passion for the craft of bluegrass and folk music and a love for Baltimore. This inspired them to create the festival with the intention of sharing this music, bringing money into the city and raising awareness of bluegrass music in Baltimore, a city that was once a hotbed of folk and bluegrass.
"In the 1950s, it was either Nashville or Baltimore for bluegrass, which is a wild concept because Baltimore doesn't seem like that place," August said. "People forgot that bluegrass was even here."
"That's the purpose of the festival," August explained, "to bring back that awareness of bluegrass music that used to exist here."
Hillbilly City
Bluegrass and folk music have been a part of Baltimore's history for a long time. Last year the Baltimore Museum of Industry had an exhibit about the banjo – an instrument with roots in West Africa that has been a part of Maryland tradition since the 1740's. It wasn't until the 20th century, however, that this music flooded the streets of Baltimore.
The Great Depression in the 1930's resulted in the mass northern migration of poor families from the South and Appalachian region. As an industrial center, Baltimore became one of many cities on the receiving end of this migration.
"The proximity of the Appalachia region and the opportunities that existed [in Baltimore] at the time were a huge motivating factor for people looking for a change," said Tim Newby, author of the forthcoming book Bluegrass in Baltimore: The Hard Drivin' Sound and its Legacy.
These migrants brought with them their families, their traditions and their cultural tastes, which included folk and bluegrass music. These new-comers were not always welcome, Newby explained. Bluegrass legend Hazel Dickens recalls seeing signs that read "No Dogs or Hillbillies" as she went about town. Often the migrants would cluster together in small neighborhoods around the city, Newby said. The areas of Hampden, Woodbury and Druid Hill Park came to be known as "hillbilly ghettos," Chorney said. In time, Bluegrass eventually became a staple of the Baltimore music scene.
"You had these migrants who had grown up with this music and you had many younger locals who were into this same kind of music," Newby said. "They really bonded together and created a special atmosphere that was inclusive of both migrants and those already from the city or surrounding area."
On the evenings before work these migrants would meet up in bars and basements, bring their instruments and have informal "pickin' parties," keeping their traditions alive in a city that proved to be nothing like home. Baltimore was the home to many bluegrass legends, such as Hazel Dickens, Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys, Walt Hensley, and Russ Hooper, and Mike Seeger. Del McCoury (father of this year's festival headliners, The Travelin' McCourys), was a regular part of that early scene as well, as commuted down to play in the rough and tumble bars of Baltimore from his home in York County, Pennsylvania.
By the 1950's, Baltimore was the 6th largest city in the United States, Newby said. Folk and bluegrass were the most popular forms of music in the city. There were many bars and clubs that featured local bluegrass musicians, such as the 79 Club, the Cozy Inn and the Blue Jay, giving musicians an opportunity to share their songs and hone their craft.
Soon Baltimore became a center for bluegrass music, with influence in the national music scene. In 1966, "The Streets of Baltimore" by Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard, was one of the biggest hits on country radio.
The city is a different place than it was when it was known for bluegrass, but August and Chorney are proving with their festival that bluegrass is still here.
"The Charm City Folk & Bluegrass Festival is doing a great job of keeping the spirit and tradition alive of this musical legacy of the city" Newby said. "They are helping to bring awareness to Baltimore's storied history to a generation of music fans who might be unaware of it."
A Celebration of Music
The Charm City Folk and Bluegrass Festival unites people of all ages and walks of life in the beautiful Druid Hill Park in a celebration of music. Despite overcast skies, the festival is buzzing with excitement. Two stages are situated at the bottom of the gently sloping hill, an ideal spot for the stage because it is a natural amphitheater. August says that they added the second stage this year to cut down on the time between sets, allowing for the crew to set up for the next act before the previous act finishes.
People stand densely packed in front of the stage, and the hill is covered in lawn chairs and blankets where many festival-goers have settled in. To the right of the stage is the tent of one of the festival's partners, Union Craft Brewing. As in previous years, the brewery has made a bluegrass themed beer specially for the event, a Bavarian Hefeweizen dubbed The High Lonesome Hefe. Next to the beer tent there is some fierce corn-hole competition.
Up the hill, near the conservatory, is what August calls "vendor village," where people can choose from a range of food options and also buy items such as banjos, hula hoops, jewelry, bowties and band merchandise. Off to the left side of the stage there are a few chairs set up so that attendees can bring their own instruments and have their own pickin' parties.
The diversity of the crowd and the vendors is matched by the diversity of the bands playing. Although they all fall under the umbrella of folk and bluegrass, some of the groups could not be more different. On one hand there is the traditional old-school bluegrass group the Seldom Scene, and the exciting and fast paced music of Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen and The Travelin' McCourys, and on the other hand you have the more folk and blues style of the Wood Brothers, and also the unique blend of jazz, bluegrass and early western swing from the Bumper Jacksons. They show the wide range of forms that folk and bluegrass music have taken over the years. The one thing the bands have in common is that they all get the crowd moving.
"A lot of traditional music, in different kinds of cultures, is dance music," says Jess Eliot Myhre, singer, clarinetist and washboard player for the DC/Baltimore-based group the Bumper Jacksons. "I think that fundamentally people really connect with music that makes them want to dance."
The music at the festival certainly has that effect on people. There is something simple and lovely about this old-fashioned music played on acoustic instruments, Myhre says. There is nothing standing between the listener and the musician, she explains, which is what makes folk and bluegrass so unique and genuine.
Despite all the positive vibes and good times at the festival, the mood of the event was somewhat odd. Protests and incipient riots are happening only a few miles away as a reaction to the death of Freddie Gray, who was arrested only ten blocks away from the park.
"I think it was a great festival, but it was very strange playing that festival to that audience while the protests were happening so close," Myhre says.
While Myhre feels the festival seems out of place in the city in turmoil, music can be a source of empathy and understanding.
"Folk and bluegrass tend to be music that tells stories of hardship and struggle," Chorney explains. "Baltimore has its history of hardship and struggle, and people can relate to it."
Pickin' Parties, Paperwork and Permits
The Charm City Folk and Bluegrass Festival all started on Chorney's porch in Hampden, a neighborhood in Baltimore. August, who is currently a musician in the Jordan August Band as well as Trace Friends Mucho and a freelance photographer, met Chorney, a marketer for Citeligher, through the Baltimore music scene. They would see each other at the 8×10, a bar at which August bar tended, and they became friends when August did a photo-shoot for Yellow Dubmarine, a reggae Beatles cover band that Chorney managed.
Soon after becoming friends the pair began to have regular "pickin' parties" at Chorney's. They would sit out on the porch with a case of beer and a bottle of whiskey and play into the night. Before long, these get-togethers sparked the idea for some sort of bluegrass party.
"Let's throw a bluegrass party," Chorney said, "let's get all our friends together who play music… Let's just do something cool."
This idea eventually blossomed into the first Charm City Folk and Bluegrass Festival. They raised money and hosted the event in Woodbury at the Union Craft Brewery. The festival was a success, selling out 1,600 tickets nearly a month in advance. While August and Chorney were grateful for the opportunity Union Craft gave them, they realized they had no room to grow and began working with the city to find a new location.
The next year the pair teamed up with District 7 Councilmen Nick Mosby, who selected Druid Hill Park as the new home for the festival. In order to use the park, the festival had to undergo a long process of filing paperwork and permits, making frequent trips to City Hall, and appeasing various governmental organizations such as Parks and Recreation and the Housing Department.
As a for-profit company, the festival had to do a lot to use city property, such as making substantial donations to the city and non-profits, including the Believe in Music Program – a K-12 inner city music education program. The festival was made possible through a collaborative effort between festival and the city, embracing something that brings something artistically and culturally different to the table, Chorney explained.
"I think that's really unique and special, and I hope to continue that partnership as long as I can," Chorney said.
In the end, August and Chorney explained, it always comes down to money.
"We don't make money. We've never made money off these events, me and Phil pay out of pocket every year to make sure this happens," August says.
The city gets money from the permits, donations, payment to use the park and a security deposit. Being able to pay the bands is another huge expense. Then you have to factor in costs for everything from marketing, festival workers, the stage, speakers, lights and tents, all the way to porta-pots.
"Everyone always gets paid no matter what," August said, "even when you know the bank account about to hit zero, you still make sure they get paid."
Chorney and August are not the only ones that work to make this event a reality. It requires a lot of effort from many of their friends, who help with everything from social media to band hospitality, working with the vendors, to general volunteering on the day of the event.
With a Little Help From My Friends
On the day of the festival, Chorney, August and their team are a well-oiled machine. While festival-goers are relaxing, enjoying the music and beer, the volunteers work through the day into the night making sure things go smoothly. Between helping with parking, manning the entrance, taking pictures, setting up the equipment on stage and countless other tasks, there is no shortage of jobs that need to be done.
Chorney and August are the busiest of all. When they aren't zipping around in a Gator truck moving equipment they are organizing the volunteers, greeting festival attendees and acting as the puppet masters, pulling the strings behind the scenes making the festival a reality. Moments where they get to sit, relax, and listen to the music are few and far-between.
August, whose life's passion is live music photography, explains that one day he hopes he and Chorney won't have to work the festival so August will be able to photograph his own event. Until that day, Chorney and August are working on keeping the festival growing with the help and support of their friends.
"My favorite part [of the festival] is seeingmy friends smile even though they've spend a 14 hour day setting up, breaking down, helping people out," Chorney says. "And they expect very little in return except a thanks and a chance to be a part of something."

Sao Paulo say they are hoping to find a way to keep Arsenal midfielder Denilson in South America, with the 24 year old hoping to stay at his current loan side on a permanent basis.
Denilson joined the Gunners from Sao Paulo in 2006, and since he has often been out of favour with Arsene Wenger as he failed to live up to the billing as a future Brazilian star.
In 2011 the South American admitted publicly that he was looking for a move away from Arsenal, but he was only able to secure a loan deal with his former club as the 24 year old looks to head back to his native country.
And now, as Arsenal look to free up their wage bill, Sao Paulo president Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopes says that the sides are very close to an agreement to keep the star on a permanent basis.
"I believe we'll reach an agreement with Arsenal," he told UOL.
"We have heard from Denilson that he doesn't want to return to England, that he wants to stay here with us.
"I think our relations with Arsenal will help that to happen."
Arsenal are believed to be in the market for reinforcements this January, as Wenger looks to assert his side's position in the top four and qualify for the Champions League once more.
And should they be able to sell Denilson, the Gunners will no doubt receive a cash injection to help them build a more capable team who can help recover from a disappointing start to the season.

The third week in February (Feb. 16-22) will be National Engineers Week, a celebration of engineering started by the National Society of Professional Engineers back in 1951. NSPE timed the week to coincide with founding father George Washington's birthday. Based mainly on his surveying work, Washington is considered by some to be the first U. S. engineer.
There are no paid holidays for engineers during this week, no traditional meals or parades, and I have never seen anyone wearing a "Kiss me. I'm an Engineer!" button during past celebrations. Instead, it's a week for heralding the contributions engineers have made to society, highlighting how engineers make a difference in the world, and bringing engineering to life for school children, educators, and parents.
There are plenty of scheduled events at local museums and science centers, including Girl's Day (encouraging women to consider the engineering profession), and awards programs for educators, young engineers, and engineers working for the federal government.
For more information on programs and events scheduled for Engineers Week, check out the website of DiscoverE (www.discovere.org).
DiscoverE was originally called the National Engineers Week Foundation, but it renamed itself recently. According to the group's executive director, Leslie Collins, "The name DiscoverE captures the potential, promise and possibilities of engineering. It perfectly articulates who we are today."
And if you've forgotten why you love the engineering profession, here are 10 reasons that should remind you, courtesy of DiscoverE.
• Love your work, and live your life, too.
• Be creative.
• Work with great people.
• Solve problems, design things that matter.
• Never be bored.
• Earn a big salary.
• Enjoy job flexibility.
• Travel.
• Make a difference.
• Change the world.
Let us know how your Engineers Week went and if you uncovered any additional reason to love the engineering profession.

'Edinburgh by Wednesday' – I couldn't help but laugh as I read this in my latest post. By Wednesday, I clearly meant Saturday.
Brian and I arrived back in Edinburgh this afternoon. It was only fitting that as we landed on the runway of the Edinburgh Airport, it began to rain. Why wouldn't it? Needless to say, as I walked through the cold, wind, and rain of Edinburgh's streets I began to miss Madrid, Sevilla, Ayamonte, Manta Rota, and the other towns of Southern Portugal and Spain. Though, after an eight day holiday turned into a twenty day holiday, my Current Account at the Allied Irish Bank in Galway probably sighed a sigh of relief to know that I can now begin seriously searching for a employment.
We stayed longer in Madrid because A) We really enjoyed the city B) There was plenty we wanted to see and do and C) We found a cheap ticket leaving today.
So, back in Edinburgh. The plan? I'll look for work and a place to live either here in Edinburgh or a smaller town north of here.
Check back for pictures and more on Madrid.

Huge potential on syscoin sys/btc
POLONIEX:SYSBTC Syscoin / Bitcoin
3371 views
Last time we had a golden cross on the daily chart , 3/4 year ago, syscoin gained x10 in value. The golden cross has happened again lately and fundamentally there are some big releases coming soon to syscoin. Blockmarket web 2.1, masternodes, anonymous transactions and a lot, lot more. Syscoin has been moving under the radar for a while and is now sitting at number 81 according to its marketcap. In my opinion its a coin which belongs in the top 20, if not top 15.
For further explanation on the fundamentals you can read this article:
Good luck!

Süper analiz.tebrikler
We have similar perspective on SYS. Looks to me like it began a new market cycle mid-December. X10 in the short or mid-term is entirely realistic here. Check out my published TA on SYSBTC if you have a chance.
Dont look at the volume on this chart, it is lacking because the most volume for sys is on bittrex. It is higher than before at the moment

@assassin7898, Correct. Actual volume average has spiked significantly.
Where do you think the price will go ?
general bu arada söylemeden geçemeyeceim harika tespitlerin var. sana çok çok teekkür ediyrum.

IT SNOWED TODAY!Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 1:03 PM
It snowed today! Me and my friends ran around college like 5 year old's every time we see even the tiniest bit of snow, which always makes the day a bit more exciting.
I'm sorry its been so long since I last updated, I wanted to wait until Teen Vogue accepted me, but they still haven't got back to me, I'm starting to think they don't actually want me to blog there but then again, why would they ask me? I'm thinking of sending them another email.
I don't really have any new clothes to show you because I haven't been shopping as I haven't had time, but thats all due to change on friday as I have two tickets for Clothes Show Live! My mom won the tickets, otherwise I wouldn't be going, I love my mom! Me and my friend Ellie will be there, hopefully there will be lots of amazing clothes, I can't wait! Its the only thing which I am hoping the snow will stop for! I'll take lots of pictures whilst I'm there and tell you all which stores are there this year!
Here is today's outfit, under about 10 other layers!

So it's 2016 and Path To Misery has now been a band for ten years. It's very strange to think back on the musical landscape back in 2006 when we started the band. Metalcore was becoming a very dirty word and for the first time since it's inception the bands were emulating instead of innovating. Trustkill and Ferret were getting bought out by major labels and their entire rosters were comprising all of the second stages of every major touring summer fest. The last of the innovators of metalcore were all starting bands in different genres. Locally the last of the diehards were all disbanding while my circle of friends' teenage year bands were all calling it a day and moving onto different areas of life. What better time to start a "political mosh metalcore" band, right?
In this past decade I've seen hardcore completely recycle itself starting at youth crew, running through a quick 90s revival and now finally arriving back at a stage where metalcore is acceptable again. Obviously there will always be trend-riders who are constantly breaking up their failed endeavors and starting new projects to keep up with popular sound of the time. You're also going to see a lot of people who actively went out of their way to fuck over metalcore bands back in the day for not being REAL HARDCORE cashing in on the current trend. At the same time, however, there is an entire new generation of kids who have apparently grown tired of being fed re-hashed Trapped Under Ice gimmicks and are writing some seriously innovative and heavy music in 2016. It's fun to see bands being heavy again and I'm glad I can go to a show and probably catch at least one band I like again. I'm more excited about the new bands in 2016 than I have been probably since we started this band.
I plan on doing an entire post dedicated to this new wave of heavy metalcore in the next few days, but for the time being I just wanted to share this video I put together that summarizes the past decade in which we've been holding shit down.
Sincerity Fest X is also coming up in 2016. News on that soon.

Anyone of you been watching the new black TV network, Bounce TV? And if so, thoughts on programming thus far? It's still a little early in the game I suppose, but I'm sure some of you have already started forming your opinions of it, based on its current offerings.
Here's the latest…
The network announced today that it has acquired the television rights to all 113 episodes of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids series in a licensing agreement with Classic Media.
Bounce TV will launch the series with a special "Hey! Hey! Hey! It's New Year's Day" Marathon on Sunday, Jan. 1, 2012, starting at 12 Noon ET.
The network will rebrand its Tuesday night line-up as "Fat Tuesdays" to feature four primetime episodes of the series back-to-back every week at 8 pm ET, starting Tuesday, Jan. 3.
Also, Bounce TV can now be seen in Tallahassee, FL on WTXL-TV, and in Albany, GA on WFXL-TV.
The addition of the two markets puts the network's penetration at 72% of African American television homes.
"The reaction to our airing of Fat Albert's Halloween Special this past October was incredible and led to our pursuit of the entire series… For years, millions of kids watched the comedic adventures and learned real life lessons from the Cosby Kids every weekend. Those kids, now adults and parents, can rediscover those memories while creating new ones by watching Fat Albert with their children on Bounce TV… With the plethora of animated series airing nightly across the country, some laced with adult humor, we feel that Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and their entertaining stories and messages of friendship and hope should have a weekly primetime showcase," said Martin Luther King III, member of Bounce TV's founding group and board of directors.
Hey, hey, hey… it's… not the horrible live-action version that starred Kenan Thompson thank goodness:

Just before I read Keefer's post, I came across an Edutopia post by Bob Lenz called Deeper Learning Community of Practice Recap, in which he lists some comments by Kathleen Cushman in response to a recent Deeper Learning meeting. After reviewing some student work from the workshop, Kushman asked "What had the teacher done to scaffold this work in its early stages?" She listed several specific techniques the teachers used:
- They build learning relationships with students.
- They design and plan backward from clear learning objectives.
- They co-construct curriculum with students and colleagues.
- They use inquiry to drive instruction.
- They scaffold student learning.
- They assess continuously.
- They reflect on their own and others' work.
- They use protocols to engage in collegial critique.
This seems like a pretty good collection of techniques to me, and I use most of them at one time or another, but from which learning theory do these techniques naturally follow? Hmm … seems to me that most any theory could lead to all or part of this collection of classroom activities. Could you use one of these techniques with no particular theory in mind? I could. I suspect most teachers do.
Okay, if you could do all these things in a classroom without a learning theory, then what good is a learning theory, or even more questionable, what good is a learning metaphor?
I think theories and metaphors provide a more or less systematic and coherent set of lenses for looking at reality. A theory highlights certain elements and processes, bringing them to the foreground, and diminishes the rest of the details, letting them recede into the background. This clarifies the picture for us and gives us a sense of understanding and control.
A theory differs from a metaphor, at least in part, by implying some predictive efficacy. A theory says that if A then B, and then we can test to see if this actually happens. If it doesn't, then we adjust the theory. I don't know that a metaphor is held to the same expectation. I just don't know of a way to test how much love is like a rose or a MOOC is like a rhizome.
Does this mean that metaphors are of no use, then? Not to me. Metaphors are marvelous ways of presenting a gestalt understanding of one thing in terms of another, and our minds are wonderfully attuned to and receptive to this kind of holistic learning. For me then, the image of the rhizome provides a more fertile field within which to develop a more rational, predictive theory such as Connectivism, which in turn leads to new techniques, to a reuse of old techniques, and to MOOCs. The rhizome gives me a marvelously rich and pregnant image with which to engage the MOOC, and here's the main point, we all bring an image to the MOOC. If we bring a less useful image—say, the traditional classroom—then the MOOC does not make sense to us, and we are frustrated by it. If we bring the rhizome image, we are more likely to make sense of what is happening in a MOOC and more likely to engage it productively.

Cornmeal Methi Dosa
I like to have cooked breakfast, especially when I have family here. While it has been hard to plan in advance for breakfast as we only managed to make something if we got time, otherwise it was oats porridge with a banana, I managed to make some instant dosa (crepes) on some days. This is one such recipe and to enhance the nutritional value, I added methi, you could skip it or add any other herb of your choice. To me, this is a very simple and quick dish that can help you keep going. Here is the recipe...
¼ cup rice flour
¼ cup rava (semolina/sooji)
¾ cup cornmeal
Couple of handful of chopped methi leaves
Few curry leaves
2 green chillies, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Cooking oil
Mix together the rice flour, rava and cornmeal and add enough water to make a thin batter and rest this for about 15 minutes. Add the curry leaves, green chillies, salt and chopped methi leaves and more water if needed
Put some oil and flip sides once browned. It can come out quite crisp like rava dosa.
Serve with a nice hot and tangy chutney


text: The sad truth of all this is the one source of news that's most capable of being honest and taking both sides to the mat is The Daily Show on Comedy Central. They obviously lean left, but they don't hesitate to call out the Democratic party when it's called for. They're a comedy show first, but that they can come so close to being the most objective look at the events that shape our world is either a statement on how great they are at satire, or a statement on the sad state of affairs that are our interest-driven cable news networks/political arena. Maybe both.

This is easily one of my all time favorite looks that Tanya Burr does. After months of trying out different products, I have found products that work best for me in achieving a look similar to the Audrey Hepburn look that Tanya recreates. I highly recommend all of these products. I've had great results with each of them, not to mention most of these products are well under $50.

Jennifer Franck
Jennifer Franck's first foray into computing was on the venerable, if rudimentary, Commodore 64. As a child, she tapped out simple looping programs that sent a series of numbers to her printer. Since those early days, Franck's programs have gotten considerably more complex.
The new lecturer in engineering is an expert in computational fluid dynamics. She writes programs that simulate how fluids and gases flow around objects. Specifically, she codes what are called large-eddy simulations, a class of code designed to study turbulence. She mostly uses her model to investigate the dynamics of flight — how wind interacts with wings.
After earning her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Caltech in 2009, she came to Brown as a postdoc to work with Kenneth Breuer in engineering and Sharon Swartz in ecology and evolutionary biology, who are widely known for their research on the mechanics of bat flight. "What I was interested in was to see if I could explain some of the characteristics of animal flight using my models on the computer," Franck said.
One of the questions Franck looked at is why bats flap their wings, as opposed to using them for soaring flight. "There's a theory that bats evolved from passive gliders to actively flapping their wings," she said. "The question was, what's the benefit of flapping."
Franck's models helped to show that flapping creates vortices — tiny pockets of low air pressure — above a bat's wings. Those vortices create extra lift and may be part of the reason flapping is worth the effort.
Franck has also used her models to explore applications that might improve aircraft flight. "Say you want an airplane to have more lift," she said. "Could you apply some sort of device on the wing that would pump some extra energy into the flow and give you better performance? I'm interested in applying code to those types of flow control questions."
There are significant advantages to the computational approach, Franck says. It's much easier, for example, to modify the parameters of an experiment on a computer than it is to design new physical models for wind tunnel tests. Another advantage is that computer models help to isolate the specific aspects of a problem that researchers are trying to address.
"We generally model a very simple airfoil that's often just two dimensional because it simplifies the problem," Franck said. "If we're looking at the basic physics behind a problem, we don't want to make things too complicated."
Though the models may be simple, the code that generates them is not. Most of Franck's programs require computer clusters that string together multiple processors. For some of her research, Franck has used a cluster at Brown's Center for Computation and Visualization. For other projects she's used the Department of Defense's Army Research Lab cluster in Maryland.
It's a long way from the Commodore 64, but Franck is right at home. "Coding has always just come naturally to me," she says.
She and her husband Christian, professor of engineering at Brown, live in Providence with their two kids.

Jean Henry Mead's visiting my Blog tomorrow. I read her newest book, Murder of the Interstate, a short while ago and really enjoyed it. Don't forget to drop back here in the morning and read her post on Writing and Publishing a Novel. Meanwhile, back to some very English book reviews...
I didn't read as much as I expected while I was in England--more time spent catching up with family and friends, cups of tea and happy conversation, long-forgotten TV shows to share, walks with dogs, the amazing luxury of strolling along the prom and going shopping with my Mum... I really did have a really wonderful time! And, yes, I read a bit too. In fact, I read four books by English authors, twohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif loaned from a friend of my Mum's, one given by my sister-in-law, and one for our book group back in Oregon (but I was too jet-lagged to make it to the meeting).
While I was reading the first book I had that slight feeling of being foreign--you know, when the accent's just a little bit different and you wonder if you're missing something so you start to listen too carefully. I thought perhaps I'd spent too much time away. But the second book and the third gave the same feeling. Then I suddenly realized what it was; those first three English novels were written in the third person omniscient mode, and I've grown accustomed to third person limited. Is that a transatlantic difference in style? I don't know. I did come to like the omniscient again, and the recognize they were doing it really well--not "head-hopping" so much as gently touching down and moving on. And the books were all great.
So here they are: four English novels read by an English American...
The first two are The Island and The Return, both by Victoria Hislop. Both feature quintessentially English women seeking their identity, and in both books the protagonist finds her future in the past. The Island follows the people living in and near a 1930s leper colony off the Island of Crete, and The Return traces the story of a Spanish family during the Spanish Civil War. Both books are beautifully researched and very evocatively written, bringing eras, people and places to vivid life, and creating fascinating contrasts with the modern world.
Next is The Outcast by Sadie Jones, an absorbing tale of repressed emotions, tragedy and hope among the middle classes of England in the 1950s. The narrative's tight and tense and the insights into character's conflicting emotions are truly haunting. A dark tale that scarcely lets up, but that somehow finds a way, in spite of everything, to let in the light.
And finally, there's The Daughter of Time, by Josephine Tey. I didn't even finish this one till I got back, but it's a wonderfully absorbing, fact-filled mystery with the most delightful characters and conversation, erudite, down-to-earth, and just plain fun. Truth is the reputed daughter of time, and the protagonists, laid up on his sick-bed, searches for the truth about that famous, so-very-English bit of history--the Princes in the Tower. I loved it.
Actually, I loved all four books and wish I'd had more time in England so I could have raided the bookstores and filled up my case. But I have to mention one final read which takes no book-case or suit-case space--Royal Wisdom, by Kate Petrella, which I loaded onto my Kindle before my flight. It's full of amazing, amusing, and oddly insightful quotes from the British royal family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with my Mum.

Take charge of your brain health with Procera Advanced Brain. This fast-acting, formula supports memory, energy balance, and the foundational needs of your brain.
Our Most Complete Brain Supplement
Brain health customers often complain that their supplements are incomplete or that they are taking too many pills. Procera Advanced Brain was developed to address these concerns by supporting the performance, repair and restoration and foundational needs of the brain in just two capsules per day. It is the highest quality, most complete brain health supplement available.
Memory Support Blend
This blend acts quickly to promote the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to and through the brain. We use the highest-quality and most potent Ginkgo biloba leaf and Panax Ginseng extracts available. These ingredients and ingredient ratios are supported by extensive clinical research.
Energy and Mood Balance Blend
Our energy and mood balance blend consists of natural herbs that combat stress and fatigue. Adaptogens such as Ginseng, Rhodiola rosea and Ashwagandha work like a thermostat in your body, providing energy and calming benefits.
Brain Repair Blend
This blend consists of a unique nutrient called Phosphatidylserine (PS). PS is a key building block for brain cells. The body makes PS naturally, but with age PS levels drop. Our brain repair blend restores PS nutrient levels to support cell membrane composition and function, imperative to healthy cognitive function.
Foundational Blend
Vitamins and minerals are essential to optimal health. This blend of coenzyme B vitamins and Zinc provides foundational support to meet your brain's needs and shore up nutritional deficiencies.
Find the Right Brain Health Product for You
*Comprised of both individual ingredient and formula clinical studies.
Derived from proprietary sources and thoroughly tested, Procera Advanced Brain's ingredients are the highest quality and potency. Each ingredient source has been carefully selected, and the amount of each ingredient matches what has been clinically studied.
Ginkgo biloba
Derived from the Gingko biloba tree, one of the oldest tree species known, this natural ingredient has been used medicinally in China for thousands of years. It promotes blood flow in small vessels and to increase circulation to the brain. Procera Advanced Brain's Ginkgo is superior in quality because it is derived exclusively from the leaves.
Panax Ginseng
Known as the "True Ginseng," Panax ginseng is derived from the Araliaceae plant family, a natural plant that bears yellow-red berries. The Panax ginseng used in the Procera Memory Support formulation is cultivated following Good Agricultural Practices. It utilizes only 5–7 year-old "white" ginseng to ensure optimal yield of the naturally occurring ginsenosides.
Ashwagandha (Winter Cherry)
The root of this small evergreen shrub is primarily recognized for its adaptogenic properties, which means it naturally increases the body's resistance to physical and emotional stress, relieving nervous tension, anxiety, and mental fatigue.
Rhodiola Rosea (Artic Root)
Rhodiola rosea promotes physical/cognitive vitality. Indigenous to Siberia, where it thrives in high altitudes and dry arctic climate, Rhodiola rosea helps reduce fatigue and exhaustion in prolonged stressful situations.
Phosphatidylserine (PS)
Derived from soy lecithin, a plant, Phosphatidylserine (PS) is one of the key building blocks for the billions of cells in the brain and is involved in the upkeep and restoration of nerve cell membranes. Just as our bones need calcium and our eyes need lutein to be strong and healthy, our brains need Phosphatidylserine as a critical nutrient. Many people have inadequate levels of PS due to aging, stress, poor diets, and modern food production.
B Vitamin Complex
The seven B vitamins included in this formulation are: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacinamide), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (5-MTHF—folate), and B12 (methylcobalamin). Provided in high-grade, co-enzyme forms, these vitamins are not only excellent for energy support, reducing anxiety, and promoting a positive mood, but they also strengthen the entire body.
Zinc is an essential trace element and one of the 24 micronutrients we need for survival. It acts as an antioxidant and helps the hormone and immune system function properly.
Procera Advanced Brain is a non-prescription nutritional supplement that supports memory, energy and balance, cognitive function, and foundational nutrition.
Procera Advanced Brain contains 60 capsules per bottle, a month's supply.
Procera Advanced Brain is the most complete brain health supplement available. It supports memory by promoting the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain, and helps optimize the use of oxygen and blood flow in the brain. Next, natural adaptogen herbs provide energy and mood balancing benefits. Essential brain nutrients provide foundational support by shoring up nutritional deficiencies.
The recommended serving is two capsules daily.
Yes. All the ingredients are natural and well tolerated by the body.
Yes. Procera Advanced Brain ingredients were carefully selected based on their effectiveness and clinical research support. In fact, there have been over 100 studies conducted on the ingredients used in Procera Advanced Brain. The memory support blend is supported by four double-blind, placebo controlled trials.
There are no known side effects with Procera Advanced Brain, we recommend you take it with food.
As with all nutritional supplements, there is a possibility of interactions with certain drugs, over-the-counter medications or pre-existing medical conditions. If you have questions or concerns, please contact a healthcare practitioner, such as a pharmacist or physician.
Procera Advanced Brain was designed for both short and long term brain health benefits. Some customers experience a positive difference within hours, and for others it may take several weeks
Procera Advanced Brain's thirteen ingredients were selected based on the clinical research, effectiveness and use. There have been numerous studies on individual ingredients such as Ginkgo biloba (45), Ginseng (20), B Vitamins (37) and studies on ingredient combinations such as Ginkgo/ginseng and Phosphatidylserine and natural herbs such as Ginkgo biloba. These studies are peer reviewed and have been published in numerous respected journals, including Nutritional Neuroscience, Psychopharmacology, The International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, and others.
Over 350 volunteers participated in four Good Clinical Practices (GCP) trials that studied the cognitive effects of Ginkgo/ginseng combination. In the second study, Ginkgo biloba and Panax ginseng administered over 12 weeks to 256 healthy, middle-aged individuals1. The major finding was that the combination produced a 7.5% improvement in Quality of Memory, a measure derived from the accuracy scores of six extensively validated tests of working and episodic memory. This study has been cited in more than 300 scientific publications and received a very favorable commentary in a widely cited review of the field2: "The study was noteworthy because after just four weeks of treatment, the Ginkgo-Ginseng group showed significantly more improvement on the memory tests than did the placebo group. Further, this improvement was still present two weeks after the treatment had been discontinued (14-week testing)". The study replicated and extended an earlier finding with this dose of the combination over a 12-week period in 64 volunteers in the same age group.3 Published in Psychopharmacology, the study concluded that the combination [of Gingko and Ginseng] can produce "clinically important improvements to the quality of memory function in healthy middle-aged adults."
CDR System
All four Ginkgo/ginseng combination studies were conducted using the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) System. Developed by Dr. Keith Wesnes, one of the world's foremost experts on cognitive assessment, the CDR System has been used in more than 1,500 research sites worldwide.The most widely used computerized cognitive testing system in the world, the CDR system has been cited in over 700 publications and abstracts. The CDR System is supported by the industry's largest healthy subject, patient and drug databases of cognitive effects, providing the gold standard for establishing the clinical relevance of compounds.

Oral Health
To keep your teeth healthy and sparkling, we recommend you make an appointment with our hygienist at least twice a year. Dental hygiene is paramount to oral health and with our hygienist's help you can preserve and improve the health of your teeth and gums.
So what does a hygienist do exactly?
A hygienist is specially trained to treat and prevent gum (periodontal) disease which is the most common cause for tooth loss. They also give advice on all things relating to oral health ranging from how to brush your teeth properly to dietary guidance. They work closely with the dentist to provide optimum oral care for every patient
What to expect at your dental hygiene appointment
The dental hygienist will:
- Review your medical history with you and ask if you're taking any medications. It's important that he or she is aware of any medical conditions you may have as this could have some bearing on your dental care.
- Enquire about any past dental work that you've had done, your oral health routine, and any concerns that you have about your teeth.
- Check your gums to see if there is any evidence of plaque or bleeding.
- Remove any build up of plaque and stains by scaling the teeth.
- Polish your teeth
Does it hurt?
A scale and polish is usually painless, however if you're experiencing any discomfort the hygienist can numb the area with an anaesthetic cream, or administer a local anaesthetic into your gums.
Can children visit the hygienist?
Yes, our hygienists are also trained to deal with children who will benefit from having their teeth polished. In addition the hygienist can apply fluoride varnishes to the outer surfaces of the teeth to help protect against decay
How to maintain good oral hygiene
Your hygienist will show you the correct way to brush and floss your teeth so that you can look after your teeth at home between visits. They'll also give you dietary advice and recommend you to cut down on sugar loaded foods and fizzy drinks which will have a big impact on your dental hygiene.
To make an appointment with one of our hygienists please call the clinic today.
Please note our General Dentistry services are only available in Manchester.

Noah Wiedenfeld made good on his promise to the St. Croix Valley Chapter of the Salvation Army Friday, Dec. 15 shortly after 3 p.m. when he rang his bell for the last time completing a 26.2-hour marathon as a volunteer bell ringer outside the Walmart store in New Richmond.
The Salvation Army's 30 Hour Marathon Ring for St. Croix County was able to bring in $77,382, with a wide variety of volunteers ringing bells at the red kettles in both New Richmond and Hudson.
The Management Analyst for the City of New Richmond looked a little like the Michelin Man bundled up to the point where ringing the bell required a flick of his wrist. Here's why.
"I'll start from the feet up. I've got winter boots on. I'm wearing four pairs of socks, later on tonight, I'll be putting hand warmers in my boots. Long underwear. I've got a base layer and two layers of pants and a pair of snow pants. Then I've got a long underwear shirt, a base layer shirt, three long-sleeved shirts, a hooded sweatshirt and my winter coat. Right now, I'm wearing one pair of gloves but I have a second pair if I need them and hand warmers for those if I need them later. I've got two hats on right now and a ski mask if I need to cover up my nose later on. So far, I'm warm and if it warms up, I can always take a layer off," said Wiedenfeld eight hours into the marathon.
According to Wiedenfeld, the most challenging stretch of the marathon was not the wee hours Friday morning.
"10 a.m. to noon time. Obviously at that point you've been up a long time. I had some visitors come out at one in the morning, three in the morning. You get a little energy again once it starts to pick up in the morning before people go to work. People came out to check to see if I made it through the night. But that later morning time, it's a little slower, once people are at work, at that time. There it just dragged along. It wasn't the cold, but I think it just kind of starts to hit you that, "Hey, I've been here 20 hours or whatever it was at that point. Kind of like a marathon at mile 20, 21 is where people kind of hit the wall," said Wiedenfeld.
Wiedenfeld is leaning toward a repeat performance next Christmas, especially with what he learned his first time around.
"I really enjoyed it. Seeing all the people, Obviously it's for a great cause. I've contemplated whether or not I could actually go longer. Now, kind of having a year under my belt, I've thought about what I might do differently, maybe starting at a different time. I have a lot of ideas, maybe invite the high school pep band to come out, different more exciting ways to make the time pass," said Wiedenfeld.
Wiedenfeld attributed his most challenging but successful debut to the many friends, family members and strangers to whom he was most grateful and, who kept him supplied with a variety of goodies from pasta to hot chocolate as well as stimulating conversation.
Wiedenfeld's perseverance paid off. His marathon effort helped raise more than $77,000 for Salvation Army in St. Croix County. Much of that support goes to Grace Place in New Richmond, which provides housing and assistance for families who have nowhere else to turn for help.
Donations toward the 30 hours were counted in all Salvation Army Ringer kettles in St. Croix County including: Baldwin, Glenwood City, Somerset, New Richmond and Hudson. The organization serves all of St. Croix County and is excited to see the community come together to help care for the less fortunate this Christmas.

Energy efficient motors function just like standard motors but their different construction technique makes them much more energy efficient. These motors are able to consume less energy per work unit due to improved material and the better design used for their construction. Higher efficiency of these motors has always attracted end-users, as they have great engineering capabilities and applications and low maintenance cost. Energy efficient motors have wide applications in fans, blowers and pumps, vehicles, and more. These motors also have demand in commercial and residential buildings, aerospace and defense. Some types of motors that are available are permanent magnet synchronous motor, DC (brushed and brushless) motors, stepper motor, switched reluctance motor and induction motor.
Read the Complete Report @ http://www.industrymonitor.co/report/167450-energy
One of the major drivers for this market is the benefits it offers over the standard motors market. Various parameters like winding, insulation, low fan losses and quality of laminations make energy efficient motors more preferable than a standard motor. Moreover, regulations passed by governments and agencies of different countries are additional incentives for manufacturers to follow standards like Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and Environment Protection Act (EP Act) in motor production. Growing awareness of environmental protection drives a healthy growth for energy efficient motors in the future as these motors have minimum CO2 emissions and low energy cost.
Energy efficient motors involve high initial financial investment but due to their high efficiency and energy saving qualities, they are in fact much more economical in the long run. Energy efficient motor manufacturers are working on decreasing the cost of the motor to compete with its substitutes like standard motors in the market.
Companies like Siemens A.G., Baldor Electric Company, ABB Ltd., General Electric Company, Regal Beloit Corporation, Crompton Greaves Ltd., and Emerson Electric Company are some of the key players in the market.
