Jul. 22 - Today is King Sobhuza II's Birthday in Swaziland.
At the time of his death in 1982, King Sobhuza II was the longest-reigning monarch in the world. His death established him as the most recently-deceased monarch in the world. Today he is simply dead.
Sobhuza began his career as Paramount Chief of the Swazi in 1921, but was not recognized as king by Great Britain, which ran the nation as a protectorate, until 1967. (The forgetful Brits have a long history of failing to recognize kings, perhaps owing to the difficulty of seeing clearly in the London fog.)
The Brits wrote a Constitution before they left, but Sobhuza did not discover it until 1973, at which point he discarded it on the grounds of its being British. Five years later he implemented a better Constitution that, surprisingly enough, left all political power in his own hands.
He died in 1982. The Constitution declared that he should be succeeded by one of his children, which seemed simple at first but was complicated by the revelation of his having had over 600 children. It took four years to find the right son, and King Mswati III has reigned ever since.
Sharing the king's birthday are Albert Brooks (1947), Danny Glover (1947), Alex Trebek (1940), Louise Fletcher (1934), Orson Bean (1928), Bob Dole (1923), and Rose Kennedy (1890).
It's National Liberation Day in Poland.

Test Anxiety: How Do I Deal With It?
Ready to take that next step and get started with Grad School? Visit our website and register today at prep.utah.edu or call at 801.581.5361.
Guest Post by: Julie Nelson, Test Prep Instructor
Test anxiety can derail even the best-laid plans. If you don't account for it, it can undo weeks' worth of hard work. It therefore deserves to be addressed in its own right. If you know that test anxiety tends to get you down, you'll benefit from spending some of your study time learning how to manage the stress. Here are some things to keep in mind.
First, try to identify where your test anxiety comes from. Possible causes include obsessing over the importance of the test, fearing embarrassment if you don't perform well, fearing having to take the test again, fearing having to change your plans for graduate school, fearing that others will be disappointed, or an honest recognition that you are ill-prepared for the test, etc. Being able to put a name to your anxiety can help you decide how to deal with it.
Second, identify what you can control and what you can't control. You can control, for example, whether you are prepared for the test. You can take practice tests so that you know what it will be like. You can make sure you have everything you need on the morning of the test. You can arrive on time, so you aren't flustered when you get there. You can go to the test center a week ahead of time and look around so you'll know exactly what to expect. You can dress in layers so you can adapt to the temperature.
Third, spend some time legitimating evaluating what you will do if the test doesn't go as well as you hope. In other words, make a backup plan that you can live with. Maybe you'll take the test again, maybe you'll put it off for a year, maybe you'll go to a different school, maybe you won't go at all. Make an alternative plan – and make sure it is one you can live with. Importantly, if there are other people involved in your decision, like parents or a partner, discuss your alternative plan with them so that everyone can be OK with the backup plan.
Fourth, be prepared. Do study. Do practice. Do take practice tests. Don't go in there unprepared.
Fifth, learn some relaxation techniques that can help you in the middle of the test. Stretch your neck, stretch your hands, imagine yourself lying on a hammock, learn to take deep breaths. All forms of meditation and mindfulness can improve your performance on test day. These will be more effective if you implement them ahead of time, rather than wait until test day to try them. If you are a student at the University of Utah, try the mindfulness clinic.
Sixth, learn to identify what stress looks like for you. It might be something you have experienced more times than you'd like to acknowledge, and know exactly what it feels like. But some people encounter it for the first time when applying to grad or law school. Hungry? Cold? Sick? Ornery? Nauseated? Short of breath? Sweaty palms? Could be stress.
Seventh, think of this test as one stressful event in a long life of stressful events. Look back on other life events that were stressful – and acknowledge that you made it through. And look ahead to other life events in the future that will inevitably be stressful. (Graduate school, for example.) Recognize that managing anxiety is a very real skill that will benefit you in the future. Consider this an opportunity to master it.
Last, if anxiety is really standing between you and your best performance, consider finding a counselor or therapist. They are particularly trained to help you manage your stress and can be extremely helpful. There is no shame in seeking professional help. If you are still in school, a school counselor can be particularly effective. At the University of Utah, school counselors can be found at the Counseling Center.

Letters to the Editor
Letter to the editor by Ed Yaeger, former Lake Geneva alderperson.
This public record report has to do with concerns and opinions from friends, neighbors, taxpayers, and historians, about the proposed annexation, with zoning changes, of the Geneva Inn with adjacent property. The consensus was that this annexation proposal is a bad and dangerous idea. Not one person offered support. It's not good for our Linn Township neighbors, not good for Geneva Lake, and certainly not good for our City. How could any thinking person believe that the creation of a sprawling, competing lakefront banquet facility, along with Hummelville, dominating the southern entry to Button's Bay, would be good for our premier tourist city? It just doesn't make sense. It could set precedent for lake-wide shore land degradation.
We are fortunate to be attached to a portion of this glorious clear water Geneva Lake and as one of its stewards, must continue to offer leadership for its protection and preservation. There are concerns about possible reasons for the administration pushing so vigorously to accomplish this annexation. Lack of public reporting and transparency are also troubling. We can explore one possible reason. TIF #4 was closed. Normal closure benefits that would allow subsequent property tax reduction, just faded away. The millions returned from the Increment Surplus Fund, budget elimination of the annual increment charge, along with the allowed use of the 20-year district tax base increase, apparently had little or no effect on lowering the property tax rate.
And now new borrowing has begun. It appears that the City of Lake Geneva has a spending problem. To use an ill-advised annexation as a "band aid" approach to solve a spending problem is asking for trouble. Already, new expenses are occurring for legal services (using money that we don't have and apparently not budgeted). Then, there is the problem of the threatened legal challenge. We don't need another court case with all the legal expense and further loss of City image and character. In conclusion, please vote NO to the proposed annexation that could destroy our beautiful corner of the world and put us on track for urban sprawl extension.

- Overview
- Application Process
- Certification
- Fees
- Public Review
- Comments
- Revocation of Certification
- Marketing Support
- Payment of Fees
- Agreement
Class-G.org is a self-certification program that enables owners and tenants of commercial real estate properties (Licensee) to measure their level of sustainable building operating processes. Additionally, the program provides Licensee with the framework for continuous improvement, and communicates this commitment on the Class-G.org web platform.
This document is a summary of the process for applying to obtain and maintain a self-certification rating through Class-G, LP (Class-G) and its online product Class-G.org. This document is complementary to the formal agreement and is not meant to replace that agreement.
Application Process
To earn a "sustainability certification" from Class-G.org, an applicant must complete a "Checklist" reviewing a number of elements relating to sustainable operations. The Checklist consists of a "checkbox" style questionnaire designed to demonstrate operating processes that support sustainability and a commitment to continuing to manage sustainability operations within an applicant's building environment.
Each question is assigned a point value based on Class-G's opinion of the relative value of each action.
Class-G.org will rely only on Licensee's responses to the Checklist in determining the rating level of certification.
This annual certification is based on points tabulated from the Checklist, and Class-G.org will issue a numeric rating and certification for location reviewed. Any certification granted by Class-G is valid for 12 months, starting on the original date of the subscription.
Continuous Improvement via the Class-G Wish List
The Class-G Checklist is comprised of best-practices with respect to managing commercial properties and facilities in a sustainable manner. Additionally, the online Checklist module enables Licensee to identify areas of improvement, by registering those items into their personal Class-G Wish List. Based upon the Checklist responses, those items not marked with a "Yes" answer have the opportunity to be identified on Licensee's Class-G Wish List.
This unique and simple Class-G Wish List feature provides Licensee with the framework for continuous sustainable operations improvement, as well as a list of targeted goals for that certification year.
Licensee agrees to pay a flat annual subscription fee for each certified location. One (1) standard Class-G plaque is included for each certified location, and additional plaques can be purchased. Class-G.org will send Licensee renewal notices for each certified space as automatic electronic reminders at the 11-month mark of a subscription year; and at 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 day(s) before expiration.
Public Review
As a condition of the certification, Licensee agrees that responses to the Checklist and the resulting rating will be posted on Class-G.org's website for public viewing.
As Class-G is a self-certification, the opportunity exists for Class-G clients to make false claims. To help keep the process transparent, Class-G includes a comments facility on each profile page. Positive comments will be shared with the company/location and reviewed for possible inclusion on the profile page. Negative comments will be reviewed by Class-G and the company/location. If the company/location is unable to remedy, their location rating may be changed or their profile page removed, at Class-G's discretion.
Revocation of Certification
Class-G reserves the sole right to de-certify any Licensee for any justifiable reason and at the sole discretion of Class-G. If Class-G decides to de-certify Licensee's challenged property, it will appropriately notify the Licensee in a timely manner of such action. No refund will be provided if Licensee's challenged property is de-certified. If Licensee's challenged property is de-certified for any reason under this Agreement, Licensee agrees to remove and return any plaque or certificate of designation of said property if required by Class-G.
Marketing Support
Class-G will provide Licensee with one (1) standard Class-G plaque, to be displayed onsite. Class-G.org will also provide an online profile page for each certified location. Licensee agrees to prominently post, publish, and openly display its Class-G rating and certification in a manner that is responsible and promotes the health of Licensee's designated location.
Payment of Fees
In the event that payment cannot be made online by applicant, payment will be made by corporate check upon a digital submission of an invoice. A Licensee account will not be active, and a certification will not be issued, until the invoice is paid in full. Additional plaques and additional marketing materials are available with additional fees at the option of the Licensee. Payments can be made to:
Class-G, LP
750 Holiday Drive, Suite 500
Pittsburgh, PA 15220
The foregoing details are incorporated by reference in the Class-G.org Agreement upon license purchase.
Class-G's online sustainability certification works by providing an affordable way to get started and grow over time.

March brings to New York the Armory Show and for the mother of a 3 year old, Spring Break.
I thought that the Armory Show edition was vibrant but went back to admiring old favorites.

I recently resolved a workers' compensation case for total compensation for lost time and permanent partial disability for $137,192.00. The case involved an injury caused by my client's co-employees who were working on a construction site and caused a 25 pound piece of concrete to fall striking our client on his back. Our client suffered a back fracture and shoulder injury. Our law office also successfully handled the personal injury lawsuit against the negligent co-employees, which resulted in a settlement of $530,000. This same client had an earlier work injury, a hernia, which resulted in an additional settlement of $8,371.60.
I also successfully represented a Veteran recently in his claim for service connected disability for right and left ankle, knee and hip conditions, low back disability secondary to his leg disability and post traumatic disability as well as Total Disability and Individual Unemployability (TDIU). The veteran was granted $105,000.00 in past benefits and ongoing benefits for his inability to work. We also successfully obtained Social Security Disability Benefits for the Veteran and recovered workers compensation benefits for the Veteran's shoulder and back when he was injured working for a trucking company.
Recently, I successfully represented a Veteran for Total Disability and Individual Unemployability (TDIU) due to injuries incurred during his service during the first Gulf War. The veteran received over $90,000 in past benefits. I also successfully represented him in his claim for Social Security Disability benefits.
I also successfully represented a client in his claim for disabled adult child benefits based on the earnings record of his deceased father. The client was 25 years old with diminished capacity and homeless, when his brother enlisted the services of Ms. Mogab. Ms. Mogab discovered that a prior application had been made for the client at age 17. The denied decision was never appealed because of the diminished capacity of the client. Ms. Mogab was able to establish good cause to reopen the earlier application for the client allowing him to receive significant past benefits dating back 8 years and future benefits based on his decease father's work record.
In another recent case, we received an award from the Tort Victims Compensation Fund for $56,524.96 for a client who was hit by a driver without insurance. Because the driver was on the job when the accident occurred, we also successfully recovered workers' compensation benefits for injuries incurred in this car accident in the amount of $21,148.50 for injuries to her neck. An additional award of $6,682.93 was obtained for combined disability against the Second Injury Fund for pre-existing injuries to her shoulder and fibromyalgia. Because the individual was uninsured, I sought recovery from the client's uninsured motorist coverage. She successfully obtained an additional $50,000.00 in that separate action.
If you have been injured in an accident or are in need of representation for Social Security Disability Benefits, Veteran's Disability Benefits or a Workers Compensation injury, please call Nancy Mogab at Mogab and Hughes Attorneys at 314-241-4477.

Boston Equalens Reviews
Boston Equalens
Highest quality contact available.
When it comes to rgps the Boston Equalens is the top dog. This is one high quality contact lens. I have never had one that didn't last at least a year and I have never had one that scratches. Its great not having to buy contact lenses all of the time. Its also very comfortable and gives me the vision correction that I need.
Boston Equalens
Fits like a glove and good vision too
I have been trying rigid gas permeable contact lenses the past couple of years with not much luck until my doctor recommended the Boston Equalens from Polymer Technology. This RGP is absolutely more comfortable than the Gas Permeable I have tried in the past. It fits my eye great and has never fallen out on me, even when playing basketball. It really is a great lens!

PhD Candidate Alex Barnard published his paper, Making the City "Second Nature": Freegan "Dumpster Divers" and the Materiality of Morality, in the January 2016 issue of the American Journal of Sociology.
Abstract: How do people maintain deeply held moral identities in a seemingly immoral social environment? Cultural sociologists and social psychologists have focused on how individuals cope with contexts that make acting on moral motivations difficult by building supportive networks and embedding themselves in communities of like-minded people. In this article, however, the author argues that actors can achieve a moral "sense of one's place" through a habitus that leverages the material dimensions of place itself. In particular, he shows how one community of radical environmental activists make affirming moral identities centered on living "naturally" seem like "second nature," even in a seemingly unnatural and immoral urban environment, by reconfiguring their physical world. The author shows how nonhuman objects serve as proofs of moral labor, markers of moral boundaries, and reminders of moral values, playing both a facilitating and constraining role in moral life.

Wild Soul Sunglasses!
As you guys already know, I have a bad addiction to eyewear. Now I usually go for the cat eye look, vintage or non-vintage, but once I realized I can sport other shapes and make them look retro I've been venturing out ever since. Whilst looking for something a little different from my collection I came across Wild Soul Sunglasses, a brand that creates quality, edgy, and retro sunglasses that makes a greater statement than fashion. They are humanitarians whose proceeds support charities/a cause of your choice whether it be health, societal, or environmental. Of course I had to jump at the chance to snag myself a pair of sunglasses so I supported the forests and chose the "Owl" style in the sand color and they are absolutely stunning. They came with a tribal knit case and cool necklace. I have never discovered a brand whose main purpose is to create wonderful eyewear but also help those in need. They acknowledge the struggle of people who are living with HIV, cancer, or mental illness'. They acknowledge those who are in need of shelter, education, and food. They acknowledge the earth and the never-ending struggle to save animals and forests..and for that I respect this brand wholeheartedly. If you want to get yourself a cool pair of sunglasses you will feel great about purchasing, you must check out Wild Soul.
Love the case these bad girls came in and the cute necklace too. Love the color, I have nothing like it in my collection. The quality is amazing too.
Support a cause. Make a bigger statement than fashion with Wild Soul.

Enlightened absolutism (also known as benevolent despotism or enlightened despotism) is a form of absolute monarchy or despotism in which rulers were influenced by the Enlightenment. Enlightened monarchs embraced the principles of the Enlightenment, especially its emphasis upon rationality, and applied them to their territories. They tended to allow religious toleration, freedom of speech and the press, and the right to hold private property. Most fostered the arts, sciences, and education.
Enlightened absolutists' beliefs about royal power were often similar to those of absolute monarchs, in that many believed that they had the right to govern by birth and generally refused to grant constitutions, seeing even the most pro-monarchy ones as being an inherent check on their power. The difference between an absolutist and an enlightened absolutist is based on a broad analysis of how far they embraced Enlightenment. In particular, the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II can be said to have fully embraced the enlightened concept of the social contract. In contrast, Empress Catherine II of Russia entirely rejected the concept of the social contract while taking up many ideas of the Enlightenment, for example by being a great patron of the arts in Imperial Russia and incorporating many ideas of enlightened philosophers, especially Montesquieu, in her Nakaz, to a committee meant to revise Russian law.
In effect, the monarchs ruled with the intent of improving the lives of their subjects in order to strengthen or reinforce their authority. For example, the abolition of serfdom in some regions of Europe was achieved by enlightened rulers. In the spirit of enlightened absolutism, Emperor Joseph II said, "Everything for the people, nothing by the people."
Voltaire was a prominent Enlightenment philosopher who felt enlightened despotism was the only real way for society to advance.
However, historians debate the actual implementation of enlightened absolutism. They distinguish between the "enlightenment" of the ruler personally, versus that of his or her regime. For example, Frederick II, "The Great," of Prussia was tutored in the ideas of the French Enlightenment in his youth, and maintained those ideas in his private life as an adult, but in many ways was unable or unwilling to effect enlightened reforms in practice.[1]
One of the things that are considered to make enlightened absolutism unfeasable as a long-term government solution is the dependence on a single, ideal persona. Since the despots are regular people themselves, they are subject to making mistakes. And even if the ruler is outstanding, his death is likely to eventually negate his achievements, since he or she is seldom followed by a ruler of the same quality.
Isaac Asimov, in his SciFi short story "The Evitable Conflict" has speculated on a future where the task of absolute rule is entrusted to very evolved artificial intelligence, which is as close to perfection as possible, while at the same time being practically immortal. It was a very nice thing for all to enjoy freely.
A few examples of rulers that were little or not at all influenced by the Enlightenment but seem to have shared some important characteristics with the Enlightened Absolutists:

In our latest in our series of interviews with our wonderful MPA16 finalists we chat to Monkey's Finger Games who impressed with their amazing game, 'Last Lie'.
App Summary: A console quality thrilling third-person shooter where the player must utilize stealth and a multitude of weapons to complete their missions.
How did you hear about Appcircus? Why did you decide to submit the app?
I have known Appcircus from a few years ago when I started to develop apps for Windows phone devices.
During a Microsoft organized apps campus I heard something about Appcircus form some other developers and then I visited the websites to better know about Appcircus jobs.
Where did the idea for the game come from?
The game idea came to us looking at technological advances in recent years and we wondered where we will be in the next 50. We thought something about bioelectronics.
The Brain Insertion was the new frontier of the future, so we are in a near future where this technology allowed people to improve their lives calibrating the body to prevent any kind of disease and prolong their lives. You can share information with people around you, everything you need is in your mind and everything you see gets mixed up with a holographic reality. Unfortunately the world is not only a beautiful place to live, but also a place to be afraid of. After a few years there was an hacker attack called MentalBurn thrown from a group adverse to the Brain Insertion. They sent a hacked signal which infected all the Brain Insertions on the planet. After the attack half of the world's population died because of the shock, and the other half had troubles recognising the reality. No one can trust what they see because they cannot know if something is real or not and this is where Last Lie take place.
What were the game's main influences?
With the objective to bring a console quality game on the mobile platform, we have been influenced by the major console titles. Looking at these games we were encouraged to create a technology that would allow us to have an engaging and addictive gameplay combined with the an high end graphics and gameplay mechanics.
The game itself were also influenced by the Hollywood movies that allowed us to study well-designed action camera during gameplay. Also during the game cinematic phases the camera shots changes, so we can give more emphasis to the action that is taking place!
Once your app is on the market how do you promote it and what assistance (beside funding) do you need to promote it.
To promote Last Lie we are creating a trailer that brings out the involvement during gameplay, we are also in touch with several suppliers of mobile advertising to show our ads.
We think that a great importance in given by festival, awards, and press. Most people need to hear about your game from numerous sources before they'll actually watch a trailer or download a game. Of course having the opportunity to participate to the MPA 2016 is a very important thing to us. We count to find some partners for promoting this and our future games. Since we are a small team, funding is really important for all of these phases, so we are giving the best of ourselves to be able to reach our goal.
What's next for the app?
We have high expectations for Last Lie!
Last Lie has been very well received by the gamers audience that every day ask us to go on like this and to add new game chapters, and this is what we are doing!
At the moment we are continuing the Last Lie development to implement new features to the gameplay and extending the game by adding new game missions, in order to continuously improve the game and its quality. We want Last Lie to grow and become even better and better.
We are also planning a sequel for Last Lie and a spin-off. The Last Lie sequel will be even more involving than this one and will feature a better graphics and will bring some new cool gameplay features. The Last Lie spin-off will be an all different kind of game and will give the player an excitements that isn't yet seen on mobile platform. We want to bring the best gaming experience on mobile platform.
Where do you see the future of gaming apps going?
We in Monkey's Finger believe that the future of mobile gaming is expected to grow, but this can happen only by creating exciting and quality products.
We think that in the near future the mobile devices will be seen as real gaming consoles, and if there will be good quality games then mobile will be a good alternative to the current home console. Looking into the future, mobile gaming might even dominate the gaming industry, because of its mobility and 'easy-to-play' nature.
Having the ability to play on our couch and then continue the game in mobility without quality loss is something that might will enter into our lives. Monkey's Finger Games wants to expand the entertainment potential of smartphone and tablets. Mobile platforms will never be a second choice for gaming.

A lot can be said for the economy and stability of small cars. However, some of us just need more space! We're big, we have big families, we haul lots of junk; whatever the reason, an SUV is the only answer for us and there are some best new SUVs under $25,000. Despite their hefty climb in pricing and their reputation as gas-guzzling environmental killers, SUVs have come a long way over the past 5 years. For one, there was the introduction of the "compact" SUV. While only slightly smaller than their behemoth sisters, most new compact SUVs are much easier on gas and provide several more avenues of luxury and spaciousness. That being said, let's take a look at the best new SUVs under $25,000 for 2011 that won't break your bank:
1) 2011 Kia Sorento Base MSRP: $22,395
Move over SUV ride, here comes the smooth feel of the 2011 Sorento. Whether you're looking for roominess, great gas mileage, tight handling, or tons of features, this one really does have it all. Despite Kia's past reputation for making "throwaway" cars, they've made significant improvements to the Sorento which makes it well worth the under $25,000 price tag.
A new 3.5L V6 engine replaces the previous 3.3L and 3.6L options. The new 3.5L is said to be 30% more efficient than its predecessors and still able to turn out 273 horsepower. The one drawback is that you will get no choice of transmission with the 6-cylinder. Only the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is available with both 6-speed standard and automatic transmission options.
Kia has improved its interior pleasure package with several options to choose from including heated seats, backup alert and camera, Bluetooth, keyless ignition, leather, and sunroof. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the Sorento is its many trim options as well as the ability to choose between 5-seater and 7-seater, FWD or AWD, and the added interior space coming from an extra 3.7" in length and over an inch in width.
With a 2-inch drop in the Sorento's center of gravity it will also handle much better than previous models. All in all, nothing but positives for what was already a well-selling model.
2.) 2011 Ford Escape Base MSRP: $21,060
Starting out at a shade over $20,000 makes this sporty little gem seem like a cheap rip-off of one of the luxury models costing twice as much. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Escape stands on its own with several options, great handling, and no major body changes (which should allow it to keep the 5-star crash safety rating earned by its previous models).
Available in both 4-cylinder (2.5L) and 6-cylinder (3.0L) options, this one does not lack for power. However, for those of you who hanker for a choice in transmission styles, you're only getting a manual transmission in the XLS FWD package, which doesn't leave you with too many other options. With the smaller engine, the Escape will see gas mileage in the range of 22mpg highway/18mpg city. The rear seats fold down to provide 67.2 cubic-feet of cargo space and the list of toys is admirable as well: Bluetooth, theft deterrent, rearview camera, satellite radio, GPS, climate control, and heated power mirrors and seats. As with most SUVs you'll also have the option of 2 and 4-wheel drives.
3.) 2011 Jeep Liberty Base MSRP: $23,250
How can you think SUV without thinking of Jeep? We also have to throw a rugged SUV in here for all the guys. The 2011 Liberty doesn't look like a show car, doesn't flash at you like a sports car, and it won't climb mountains like a goat – and it's not supposed to. What it is supposed to do is look great, work hard, and last long enough for the payments to run out. This one should do it all.
It's no secret that Jeep has a reputation for rugged dependability and rightly so. This year, they've mixed rugged with pleasurable. You'll get all the usual Jeep towing capacity, leg room, and low-end torque. You'll also get a nice selection of goodies which includes Mp3 decoder, keyless entry, and heated rearview mirrors. Don't look for several powertrain options; you'll only get the old reliable 3.7L V6 and the 4-speed automatic tranny with overdrive in all models. You will, however, have a choice of 2 and 4-wheel drive. Granted, the 2011 Liberty is not the prettiest girl at the dance, but that's what makes her that much more fun to drive.

My pastor has a great definition for grace– God's Riches at Christ's Expense. Dictionary.com has 20 listed definitions for grace. A few of the first seven are, elegance or beauty of form, favor or good will, mercy, clemency, or pardon. Number eight begins with Theology, and contains the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God, the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them, a virtue of excellence or divine origin, or the state of grace is the condition of being in God's favor, or one of the elect. I like the unmerited favor and love of God, because it reminds me that I do not deserve it, but He gives it because He loves me, even when I don't deserve it. That's unconditional love, and we don't often see that in our lives.
That all leads up to a story about perfume. A few weeks ago when Brooke and I were shopping, we came across inner grace. I loved the name of it, so picked it up to try it. It smells beautiful as well. On the packaging it has philosophy, and I'm not sure if that is part of the name, but we found it in JCPenney, in the Sephora section. I keep meaning to check it out online, and haven't yet. Anyway… the perfume box says" philosophy: to know peace is to know God. within the context of peace we can know joy, love, and happiness. in the absence of peace, we own nothing but the turmoil of our minds that jump from one thought to the next. to find peace you must shut off your mind and open your heart to the only thing that matters; the gift of the present moment, it is peace personified." The body spray says "philosophy: top achieve inner grace you must practice acceptance. surrender to a power that is greater and more loving than your own. inner grace is eternal. inner grace is immortal. inner grace has no beginning and no end." Finally, the lotion says "philosophy: God is love. God is peace. God is trust. God is joy. God is family. God is friendship. God is fearless. God is breath. God is life. God is wisdom. God is eternal. God speaks in whispers." It gives me something to ponder every morning, and strive for each moment.

JNCIS-SP: MPLS part1.
Since MPLS is one of my favorite subjects, I'll do a more extensive lab on this subject. I'll mix some theory as I'll gradually expand the lab until most of the topics from JNCIS-SP are covered.
MPLS: Multiprotocol Label Switching.
In a 'normal' IP network, an IP packet is processed at each hop in the network. Every router along the path performs a lookup in the routing table and determines the next-hop based on the destination IP address of the packet like so;
With MPLS, labels are used to forward traffic through the network. A packet is assigned to a FEC by an ingress LSR. The ingress LSR will prepend an MPLS label to the packet and it will switch it to the next router. The next router will only look at the label and 'switch' the traffic instead of performing a routing lookup in its IP routing table. Finally, at the end of the LSP, the LSR performs a POP operation and sends the packet onto the LAN;
Some basic terminology.
MPLS comes with a lot of terminology. Before we configure the first few routers, let's go through some definitions:
• LSR: Label Switch Routers. A router with the ability to forward packets based on MPLS labels.
• LSP: Label Switched Path. A unidirectional path from ingress to egress LSR where traffic is switched based on labels.
• Label: an MPLS label that consists of the following fields:
Label value: a locally significant value that changes from LSR to LSR as the packet traverses the LSP.
EXP: experimental bit, used for class of service.
S: bottom of stack bit, indicates whether the MPLS packet has more than 1 label. If the value is 1, it's the last label.
TTL: the time-to-live. The packet is discarded on 0.
• Label operations: MPLS routers can perform a number of actions on labeled packets, some of which are;
Push: push a label onto a packet. This label places the packet in a FEC that determines the rest of the traffic flow through the MPLS tunnel.
Swap: LSRs along the LSP will replace the top label in the MPLS label stack with their label.
Pop: remove the top label of the MPLS label stack and forward the packet with or without a label.
• FEC: Forwarding Equivalence Class. Used to describe a set of packets with similar or identical treatment. The FEC is determined by the ingress LSR.
The start of the lab.
We'll start out with three routers and perform three initial tasks in this phase:
- configure all the routers as OSPF routers in area 0.0.0.0
- enable MPLS and RSVP on the interfaces between the router
- configure an LSP from R6 to R10 and vice versa
In order to build an MPLS network, we are going to need an IGP. I'll explain this later on. The OSPF configuration is going to be very straightforward since the lab is not about OSPF. On the above routers, I will run OSPF and provide connectivity between R6 and R10. The configuration on R7 will be as follows:
I already configured R6 and R10, so the OSPF neighbor-relationship is already established. All three routers have connectivity between their loopback addresses:
2: enable MPLS and RSVP on the interfaces between the router.
The following is configured on all three routers:
3: configure an LSP from R6 to R10 and vice versa.
LSPs are unidirectional paths. Therefore, we will need to configure LSPs on both ends of our topology. Currently, we want to use R6 and R10 as ingress LSRs. To be able to accomplish this, we will have to configure the following on R10:
And the following on R6:
Note, I also activated 'traffic-engineering' under OSPF on R7.
After committing this configuration, both unidirectional LSPs are up. Now, let's take a closer look at what happened.
Let's examine how the LSP to_R10 was setup from R6.
We configured OSPF with traffic engineering, RSVP and MPLS on three routers. Nothing really happens until an actual LSP is configured. An LSP is signaled by RSVP messages. These RSVP messages are carried by OSPF's opaque LSAs in our example.
Take a look at the following picture:
After configuring the LSP to_R10, the R6 router sends out an RSVP Path message. Path messages are send by the ingress LSR with the request for an LSP. R6's Path message is directed at R10 and processed by all intermediate routers (in our case only R7).
If and when R10 is capable, it will return an RSVP Resv message. This message includes the label assignment.
Finally, R6 receives the Resv message and is able to install the RSVP LSP to R10. Let's track the labels of the LSP by examining the rsvp printouts. First, we will start on R10, the egress LSR:
R10 is the router that, after receiving the Path message, initiated the Resv message. The RSVP session is to 126.96.36.199 from 22.214.171.124. The R10 router has allocated that the upstream router should use label 3 to reach R10.
R7 receives this label and allocates a label (299808) to router R6. Also note the following in the next printout, the action that the LSR is going to take is not swap, but pop. Since R7 is the penultimate hop, the default for RSVP is that it will pop the label.
Finally, the Resv message has reached R6. Since R6 is the ingress router, it will install the rsvp signaled LSP in the inet.3 table with a push operation as follows:
The current consequences of our actions are none. We do not have anything configured that uses the LSP. But before we expand our lab and make it more interesting by utilizing the inet.3 table, let me show something that you can do with Junos.
The thing I want to show is that it is possible to configure the router to make use of the LSP for a single /32 (or a larger prefix if you want). On R10, I have an IP address configured (172.16.0.37/32) on an interface that the router is currently not being redistributed into OSPF. The means that the IP address in not in the routing table of R6 or R7.
Let's configure R6 to use the LSP for this destination IP address without altering the configuration on R10. The net result will be that R6 will push a label onto packets destined to 172.16.0.37/32 and R7 will label switch it (still performing the pop operation). We will then send a ping from R6 to that IP address and have R10 reply. Again, the address 172.16.0.37/32 is not in R7's routing table, but that does not really matter. From R6 to R10 the packet is label switched and the return packet will be routed based on the destination IP address. That destination IP address will be in R7's routing table, since the addresses of R6 are redistributed into OSPF.
First, let's configure R6 to push a label onto packets destined to 172.16.0.37/32 as follows:
To verify R6 is actually pushing a label onto the packet prior to sending it
We can see that we get a reply from R10. Although I haven't encountered a situation in which I have found this particularly useful, I was impressed with the flexibility of Junos. And mind you, this is just one of many knobs to fiddle with.
Expanding the lab, a bit.
Next thing is to expand the lab with three additional routers. This way, it will become possible to delve into some additional possibilities of the LSPs and the inet.3 table.
Since the configuration of adding all the individual routers is rather similar I'll only show R2's configuration;
Now that all new routers are running OSPF and are (probably) configured correctly for RSVP and MPLS, let's build some LSPs.
The first LSP we will build is one from R1 to R10. Or actually, we'll build one LSP with two paths. One will be the primary and the other one will be the secondary.
I configured the following:
In the configuration above, we have created an LSP towards R10.
In the 'label-switched-path' stanza, we used the keywords 'primary' and 'secondary' and referred to two paths.
These two paths were defined under the 'path' stanza. The primary path must visit R2, R3 and R7. The secondary path must visit R3, R6 and R7.
Basically we will force all traffic that will use the LSP through R3 unless that router is down. Currently, in our lab, there will be only one alternate path when R3 goes down. But when there are more, you could configure the secondary path as 'loose'. That would mean 'hey RSVP, you figure it out'.
Let's look at the LSP's current status:
The primary path is up and the secondary path is down. This the default behavior.
When the primary path fails, the secondary path will be signalled. The router will continuously try to revert back to the primary path.
The default revert timer (which is configurable) for this is 60 seconds.
This behavior can easily be altered through configuration. By configuring 'standby' under the mpls hierarchy, Junos will signal the secondary LSP before the primary is broken.
This saves time when the primary does break. The disadvantage is of course that it takes up extra resources.
Anyway, only the following is needed to have Junos signal the secondary LSP preemptively:
The following will be the result:
Let's configure an LSP from R10 to R1 and do something else, use FastReroute. FastReroute is a feature configured under the LSP on a node. It will request the transit nodes to precompute and pre-establish detours (when possible) to minimize downtime when a node or link fails.
The picture below is what will happen when we configure FastReroute:
When we configure LSP R10_to_R1, an RSVP signaled LSP will be established between R10 and R1. Transit LSRs will attempt to establish detours, if and when possible. In our lab, there is only 1 detour possible.
When the LSP between R10 and R1 comes up, it will run through R6. Only R7 will have a detour. R10 will 'desire' FastReroute and R7 will precompute and establish the detour through R3. This minimizes the effect of an interruption between R7-R6-R2.
To configure FastReroute, perform the following:
In the output of the LSP on the ingress router, you can see that FastReroute is desired;
On R7, the following will be displayed;
Through the use of Fast Reroute, you are creating a One-to-One backup. The 'fast-reroute' statement is configured in the label-switched-path' hierarchy for 1 LSP only.
Beside Fast Reroute (and the previously discussed secondary path) there another method to protect the network against LSP failures, this is the facility backup defined in RFC 4090.
Where Fast Reroute creates a detour to protect 1 LSP, the facility backup creates a bypass LSP that can be shared by multiple LSPs.
In Junos, the facility backup methods are link-protection and node-link protection. Let's look at link-protection.
We'll configure an LSP from R1 towards R7, run the primary path across R3 and request link-protection for the LSP. On R2 we'll activate the link-protection and use several commands to verify our configuration.
First the LSP:
The configuration of the LSP can be done as follows:
Given our topology, R2 would be suitable to grant the link-protection. If we look at the LSP right now, we can see that link-protection is desired and down;
To be able to provide for link-protection, RSVP has to be able to signal the bypass. This has to be configured under the [ protocols rsvp interface ] menu like this;
That was the link towards R3. Now, when we look at a snippet of the 'show mpls lsp extensive' command on the transit router, we can see that the link-protection is up;
Note that the bypass LSP the RSVP feature created will not be shown in the 'show mpls' output. The bypass LSP created would be the following (bypass is in green):
Before moving on, let's have a final look at the RSVP messages.
RSVP has two primary message types:
Path: to request that the LSP is created. The path message is sent from the host that wants to setup the LSP. The message traverses along the hosts of the soon-to-be LSP and stores path state in each node along the path. The most important thing stored is the IP address of the previous node. Resv: to reserve resources for the LSP, the Resv message is sent from the receiver to the sender host along the reverse data path.
To signal errors, RSVP uses the following messages;
Path Err: error messages sent to upstream sender. The router sends a unicast PathErr message to the sender that issued the path message. Resv Err: an error messages sent downstream when a reservation request fails.
Two more to remove path or reservation state;
PathTear: sent to tear down path states and dependent reservation states in any router along the path. The message is sent downstream from its point of initiation. ResvTear: deletes the state of the reservation. The message travels upstream from its point of initiation.
Let's redesign the lab to the following layout:
We'll build a miniature ISP core network with RSVP-signaled LSPs. There will be 3 PE routers that will use the network to provide a layer 3 VPN for three locations belonging to a single customer.
The 'physical' layout of the lab:
Let's proceed with the following;
• Activate LDP on the P and PE routers (OSPF is already running) and examine its operation
• Create a routing-instance for the customer
• Configure BGP neighbor relationships between the PE routers
• Examine the L3-VPN
LDP stands for Label Distribution Protocol. It can be used with or instead of RSVP. LDP is quite different from RSVP. For instance, whereas RSVP will use the TE extensions to provide for traffic engineering, LDP does not. LDP follows the IGP best path and cannot be directed to follow or avoid certain links. Another difference is that LDP will distribute labels and provide LSPs immediately. This means that, contrary to RSVP, there are routes installed into the inet.3 table as soon as there are LDP routers exchanging labels. LSPs needn't be manually defined.
Let's look at an example. I have activated LDP on all the ISP routers except for R7. To enable LDP on R7, perform the following;
Right after commiting, R7 will form an LDP neighbor relationship with the adjacent routers (since I already activate LDP on those routers). This happened due to the Hello-based neighbor discovery. The discovery process can be by sending a hello message to 22.214.171.124 or to a specified address (extended discovery). In both cases, UDP port 646 is used. If a neighbor relationship is formed, the node with the highest IP address will be the active node. The active node will initiate a TCP session with the neighbor. Over this session, the routers will exchange information (labels, modes, etc.) and keepalives.
The overview shows us several interesting things;
•router-id is the loopback interface when not manually configured
• LDP route preference is 9 (RSVP is 7)
• default Juniper protocol modes;
— Distribution: unsolicited. The label will be distributed to the neighbors without the neighbors having to request it.
— Retention: liberal. All received labels are stored. Whether the label is used for forwarding is irrelevant.
— Control: ordered. Junos initiates transmission of a label mapping for a FEC for which it has already received a label mapping (labels received from other neighbors) and it's loopback interface (exact details in RFC5036 / 22.214.171.124)
• and then a slew of timers
A routing-instance is a collection of routing tables, interfaces and routing protocol parameters. There are several types of routing-instances, but for the creation of a L3-VPN, we will use the routing-instance type 'vrf', VPN routing and forwarding.
The other basic configuration requirements are placing an interface into the routing-instance, assigning a route-distinguisher and a route-target. I'll cover the route-distinguisher and route-target when we build the BGP neighbor relationships between the PEs.
Anyway, the basic configuration on R6 would look as follows:
This configuration will create a 'CUSTOMER-1.inet' routing-table. This routing table will be populated with the ge-1/1/3.55 interface IP address and the static route. I configured a default route to R6 from R9, so I should be able to ping R9's loopback;
I configured the exact same vrf on R7 and R2. Currently, this VPN is rather useless as it does not connect together R1, R9 and R10.
To provide for connectivity between these three routers across the MPLS network, we will need to configure some BGP neighbor relationships between the PEs.
BGP neighbor relationships:
During the configuration of the routing-instance, a route-distinguisher (RD) and a route-target (RT) were specified. Both of these are required and will be used by BGP.
To provide for connectivity between the different CUST routes, we will use BGP. BGP will distribute the static routes and the IP addresses configured on the interfaces placed in the routing-table. To be able to do this, BGP carries the routing information in the so called BGP extended community attribute RT. In short, in our case the RT is used to distinguish in which routing table the carried routing information is supposed to be placed.
The RD is used to disambiguate the IPv4 addresses. For instance, suppose there is a CUST-1 table and a CUST-2 table. Both customers want to use 192.168.1.0/24. This is possible with the RD. BGP will not exchange the 192.168.1.0/4 IPv4 prefix range, it will exchange VPN-IPv4 routes. The VPN-IPv4 route, is an IPv4 address with an 8-byte RD prepended to it.
Apart from the RT and RD, BGP will also signal an MPLS label that will be specific for the VPN. To forward VPN traffic between two PEs, the routers will use two labels. The first label (outer label) will identify what LSP to use. The second label (inner label) will identify the outgoing interface from the egress PE to the customer router.
This way, intermediate routers do not need to be aware of all the routes to all the customer VPNs. They simply switch traffic based on the outer label. It would look something like this;
So in short, BGP is used to distribute the VPN IPv4 prefixes with attached RT and MPLS labels between the PE routers. Let's configure this on R6 our example and see what happens;
After the sessions reach the state established, let's look at what is exchange between R6 and R7:
These two commands show that the necessary information was exchanged between the two routers, the RD, RT and VPN-label.
Let's place the received BGP information right above the information installed into the forwarding table for a clear overview;
entire books were written on the subject, but I suppose this covers at least some of the JNCIS-SP exam.
I'll do a part 2 on some other MPLS applications like VPLS.

This is not a post about cupcakes, if that's what you're after.
The thing with me is I don't have a sweet tooth, so I give more of my attention to the appetizers and main courses rather than the desserts. Even stranger still is that I like my desserts not-so-sweet. So I often go for cheesecakes, or chocolate-based desserts infused with a strong minty flavor, or baked pastries with just the right mix of cream and fruits. The more contrasting, the better. Pure, simple sweetness bores me. I like my palate to be stimulated by complex flavors.
This is why I want to talk about an item in the menu of the Vanilla Cupcake Factory that barely gets the spotlight. Obviously, people go to this place to ogle at the cozy and cute, girly decor (very much like stepping inside a dollhouse!) and to sample what most people get curious about – their prized cupcakes, of course.
Lamps, chandeliers and mirrors beckon you inside the shop…
But, I urge you to against the grain and try having lunch or dinner here, instead of the usual afternoon tea.
Which is just what my friend Irrisse and I did one busy weeknight when we decided to go against the busy-doctor stereotype and ACTUALLY MEET UP. We've barely seen each other because we've been doing our respective trainings in different hospitals. But, no matter how "busy" you may be, investing time and energy in maintaining and refreshing meaningful relationships should always be a priority.
Who says doctors can't have a quiet night away from the hospital?
For this date, Irrisse ordered her ultimate favorite: pasta slathered in pesto.
I, feeling like I should make a healthy choice, as I had overeaten lunch earlier that day, ordered one of their salads. I was salivating at the thought of their mango and crab salad. Juicy mango slices dancing with fat, chunky kani slices on a bed of Romaine lettuce. Mmm…
At the last minute, though, I changed my mind. With a hopeful voice, I said, "I'll have the Crunchy Chicken and Orange Salad, please". The waitress told me it was the bestseller among the salads, though the description didn't quite seduce me: "Mixed greens, orange, toasted almonds, crispy wontons, and Cajun chicken strips with Asian sesame dressing."
But a few minutes later, I saw what was on my plate.
Take my breath away…
Damn. So much color. They say that the more colorful and vibrant your fruit and vegetables are, the more nutrients they contain. Well, I hoped so. But at that moment, all I could think of was THIS SALAD WAS SO, SO BEAUTIFUL.
It was picture-perfect. It reminded me of a laid-back summer afternoon on a secret little getaway. It's like the kind of food you would use in a spread inspired by the book Eat, Pray, Love. Since I'm a photographer at heart (but a writer by soul), I also cared that the drink I chose matched the salad very well.
I got the Vanilla Iced Tea, loving it for its warm, red liquid sparkling in a vintage Mason jar. How classy!
After satisfying the shutterbug in me (every meal has to be preceded by snap-snap-snaps of my IPad camera first hahaha), I then indulged my tastebuds. OMG. This is one of the MOST CREATIVE and BEST salads I have ever tasted.
Two happy girls. Good food should not be a luxury, but a pleasure to be enjoyed.
I love that they mixed salty and sweet, succulent and crunchy, and leaves with wonton wrappers!!! The Cajun chicken strips definitely made me feel gratified because the fried saltiness and crisp of it added some punch to the bed of greens and the oranges. The Asian sesame dressing was more savory than creamy and I liked it because it made for a LIVELY salad, instead of a boring, healthy-means-safe combination.
I definitely recommend this salad. It is very filling, it is a meal in itself already, and it goes well with the vanilla iced tea. As for the vanilla iced tea, it's mildly-flavored and thank God, not too sugary. It's a nice alternative to all those caffeinated beverages we all guzzle down these days.
I appreciate the Vanilla Cupcake Bakery for making their NON-CUPCAKES as interesting as their cupcakes. Their attention to detail in decorating their place never fails to feel homey and full of visual treats. I like that they featured the beautiful chairs of Ms. Daphne Osena-Paez as part of their furnishings. Most of all, I like that I have a place I can take my girly and bakla friends to, pretending it is our own personal boudoir, where we can have long conversations, glam photo-ops, and happy discoveries.
It exudes Old Hollywood glam when shot in black and white. Classic!
For me, Crunchy Chicken and Orange Salad is one discovery I will always crave for, when salads come to mind. Congratulations to the Vanilla Cupcake Bakery!
P.S. For those who want to see more of this place, here are some helpful links:

P.P.S. This wonderful bakery and cafe is brought to you by the same people who created Kamiseta. In fact, they have a branch WITHIN the Kamiseta store in Trinoma. Check it out for some serious destressing – shopping and sweets never fail to cheer people up.
