As I say in the video (below), my big fear is that IPv4 address exhaustion will create a situation where Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will use what is called "carrier-grade NAT (CGN)" or "large-scale NAT (LSN)" to put all their subscribers behind a single public IPv4 address.
The ISPs then become the gatekeepers. They can determine what you will view - or what you will pay to view certain types of content. They could also potentially restrict customer's access to the next great new service... the next Twitter or Facebook, for instance... until that service pays the ISP for access to customers.
It can completely flip the Internet around from one that thrives on "permission-less innovation" where anyone can create any service and make it available to all... to an Internet that is "permission-based" with gatekeepers controlling access at key points.
The migration to IPv6 does not, of course, remove the threat that the Internet very well could move toward a permission-based network... but the move to IPv6 removes IPv4 address exhaustion as an excuse to implement walled gardens.
To me, deploying IPv6 is a critical step to keeping the Internet open to innovation!
To learn more about IPv6 and how you can get started, check out the resources we are listing at the Internet Society Deploy360 Programme.

I'm there with my team from the Internet Society and one of our primary purposes will be to get a sense of the state of IPv6 support - or NOT - among consumer electronics providers. As large carriers look at how they can roll out IPv6 within their networks, having home equipment that supports IPv6 will become more important in the years ahead.
At the show, we will be meeting with some vendors who want to understand more about how to move their products to IPv6 and also talking with media about the launch of our new Deploy360 site to help accelerate the deployment of IPv6 and DNSSEC. We'll also be part of a presentation on Saturday with a representative from Comcast explaining IPv6 issues to a IEEE conference for consumer electronics vendors.
And, of course, we'll be walking all over the show floor seeking out vendors who have IPv6 support. We'll see what we find!
On a personal note, it will be interesting to go to CES. While I've attended hundreds of shows/conferences over the years, including the even larger CeBIT show over in Germany, I've never made to CES before this year. I've heard a great amount about the madness there, of course, and watched the coverage from afar. So it will be interesting to be on the ground there.
You can, of course, expect that I'll be tweeting a good bit both from @danyork and @deploy360 (although a colleague of mine may be doing most of the tweeting from that account). I'm also planning to put up some posts on CircleID related to what I find... and of course the Deploy360 blog.
IF YOU ARE OUT AT CES and want to connect, please shoot me an email, call me or ping on Twitter.
Let the fun begin...

When I joined the staff of the Internet Society back in late September, the project I joined was charged with looking at questions like that and developing a means to promote online resources that would help speed up the usage of IPv6 and DNSSEC.
Yesterday, after a long 3 months of hard work, we formally announced what we are now calling the "Internet Society Deploy360 Programme" located at:
On that site, you will find real-world deployment information about how to get started with both technologies. Case studies, how-to documents, links to other sites, and much, much more...
The site is certainly incomplete... we wanted to get the site out there and now my task over the months ahead is to fill the site up with answers to questions and pointers to new information.
We're not looking to add ALL the information found on the web about IPv6 and DNSSEC, but rather the best information we can find.
And where we can't find information that answers specific questions, we'll be creating new materials either directly ourselves or with partners. As an example, I'm working right now on some tutorials about how to add DNSSEC support into Firefox, and how to configure DNSSEC for your domain at a couple of different registrars.
And let me tell you, it is EXTREMELY clear to me now that this program(me) is definitely needed, as many parts of both DNSSEC and IPv6 are in desperate need of geek-to-common-language translation! Just sorting through some of the steps myself, it's very clear that there's a good bit of pain that needs to be taken away...
To that end, we will be constantly adding new material and resources as we both find and create new content - both in text, video and other forms.
Our goal is also to help foster the conversation around these topics, and so we'll have a constant stream of blog posts and will, of course, be engaging via many forms of social media. You can be part of what we are doing by:
and I would definitely encourage you to join us on as many of those channels as you use. We're also actively seeking volunteers to assist us and have been rather humbled and pleased by the great amount of interest and support we've already seen.
I'm excited to get this project out there... and am looking forward to the months ahead as we build the momentum to help get both IPv6 and DNSSEC more widely deployed!
Please do take a look around the Deploy360 site. I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions you have. Are there other questions we can be answering? What are the barriers you have found to using these technologies? Are there sites or resources that you found very helpful that we don't have on the site yet? Please do let me know! Drop me an email, fill out our feedback form, ping me on one of the various social media... heck, leave a comment to this blog post! Somehow... I'd love to know what you think.
And with that, I'm off to write some content...

IPv6, DNSSEC, RPKI, etc.: What's the Holdup and How Can We Help?
You're busy. We get it. This industry moves fast and you've got your hands full keeping your networks updated and secure from the threat of the day. But why is it taking so long to deploy IPv6, DNSSEC, and other standards coming out of the IETF? These standards are the future of the Internet, but deployment to date has been slow.
He'll be outlining the new ISOC project of which I am a part that aims to help speed up the deployment of these standards - and asking for feedback and help. I will be there along with another team member, Megan Kruse, to talk with folks about the project and interact with people involved with IPv6, DNSSEC and other technologies.
It's been a good number of years since I last attended a USENIX conference but I'm very much looking forward to getting back with the crowd. Looks like some excellent technical talks so I'm looking forward to learning a good bit.
If you are down at LISA, please do feel free to drop me a note - or find me on Twitter. I expect I'll be tweeting out of the event and probably posting some thoughts and comments.

For those of us wanting to see IPv6 deployed, yesterday brought the great news that Comcast has started rolling out its IPv6 production network to customers.
Now, granted, the initial rollout was to only 100 homes in San Francisco's East Bay. It is also restricted to a single computer directly connected to a Comcast cable modem. This initial rollout did not support home routers which are typically found for WiFi in many/most homes these days.
Still... it's a start!
The experience Comcast gains with this initial rollout will only help them with wider rollouts and the inclusion of home routers.
Kudos to Comcast for this start of their IPv6 rollout... I'm looking forward to hearing of other service providers starting their IPv6 deployments! (Time Warner, I'm talking about you! :-)
UPDATE: Comcast has now come out with two of their own blog posts on this topic:
Notice in particular this great part to the technical piece:
It is also important to note that we are deploying native dual stack, which means a customer gets both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. That means we are not using tunneling technology or large scale Network Address Translation (NAT). Using a tunnel introduces additional overhead compared to not using one (native IPv6), as your traffic must traverse a relaybefore going to the destination and back. And NAT technologies rely on two layers of NAT, one in your home (in a home gateway device), and one within a the service provider's network that usually shares a single IPv4 address across possibly hundreds of customers or more. Using NAT presents many challenges compared to not using NAT, as your traffic must traverse a NAT device before going to the destination and back. In addition, we believe those two layers of NAT will break a number of applications that are important to our customers.

If so, please join us in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for our next "Internet ON" (ION) Conference on Monday, November 14, 2011, starting at 12:30pm and sponsored by the Internet Society (my new employer). The sessions on the agenda include:
We're looking forward to providing a great session for people to ask questions and talk about how to get these technologies actually deployed in networks today.
The ION conference is part of the larger 2011 Canadian ISP Summit that takes place on the following two days and is included as part of the registration for the Canadian ISP Summit.
However, registration for the ION conference is FREE if you just want to attend the half-day session on Monday. You can sign up through the Canadian ISP Summit registration page, where one of the available options is for the ION ONLY registration.
(NOTE: If you do sign up for the free ION Only registration, the lunch and dinner listed on the agenda are not included. Those are part of the full registration.)
If you do want to register for the full Canadian ISP Summit, which has a great agenda of technical and business talks , we have a discount code of "ISOCDC" which can get your $50 off the registration if used by November 11, 2011.
We just had a very successful ION event in Buenos Aires last month and we're looking forward to great conversations and discussions up in Toronto - I hope to see you there!
P.S. A couple of people have already asked me if I'm going to be able to spend more time in Toronto (and meet them). Unfortunately due to family medical issues I'm just in Toronto for Monday and will be flying back Tuesday morning. Normally I would have loved to stay for this full event because some of the other sessions look great - and Toronto is also an outstanding place to visit.

The key point for me, given my new role, was right up at the top:
44% of the implementations present supported IPv6.
Now, of course ideally we'd like that to be 100%, but hey, it's at least a good start!
There is also some narrative further down the report about "IPv6 Focused Tests" with some interesting info. One interesting note seems to be this:
Most UAs that supported dual-stack had a configuration to tell the application to ignore any returned AAAAs due to issues encountered in deployments where endpoints autoconfigured IPV6 that didn't actually work.
In the web world this has been referred to as the "happy eyeballs" problem where a browser will try a DNS AAAA record to get to a site over IPv6 and then eventually will fail back to trying the A record to go over IPv4. The delay will cause the user to be very UNhappy. There are a couple of ways to address the issue with the usual one being to try both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses simultaneously and then connect over whichever one responds back first. (There is an entire "happy eyeballs" Internet-Draft that goes into this topic for those interested.)
From this simple sentence it would sound to me like the implementations are NOT supporting a "happy eyeballs" approach for SIP but are rather providing an "ignore IPv6" configuration setting. I wasn't there so I don't know... but I would hope that over time all dual-stack SIP implementations would move to supporting this kind of approach (versus disabling IPv6).
It was also good to see that tests occurred in a mixed environment:
We successfully tested calls going though a mix of v4 and v6 hops (accruing Via and Route/Record-Route headers with addresses in both families.
Wearing my security hat I was also pleased to see this:
80% of the endpoints present supported SRTP using sdes
Again, you'd love 100%, but at least this shows the availability of SRTP should companies decide to enable SRTP.
Lots of other great commentary in the SIPit 29 summary around STUN/TURN/ICE and many other issues. Definitely worth a read if you are interested in SIP.
And... if you a creator of SIP-related hardware and software, watch the SIPit website for news of the next SIPit event so that you, too, can join in the testing!
And if you have not heard of SIPit before, here's a video I did back in September 2009 with organizer Robert Sparks:

I'll be speaking twice. First on Wednesday the 5th at 4pm on "The Current State of VoIP Security", wearing my VOIPSA hat and leading off a series of talks about security. I'll be providing an overview of the main threats to VoIP and communications security in general, leading the way into the two more specific talks following mine.
I'm rather excited that my second session will be my first public appearance wearing my new Internet Society hat (if you are not aware, I've posted details about my recent move) and will of course be about IPv6... more specifically "How IPv6 Will Impact SIP And Telecom".
Due to ongoing events on the personal front, I wasn't sure that I was going to make it out there... and quite frankly there's still a chance that I won't... but I should be out there.
If you look at the conference schedule, the speakers include outstanding people involved with so many different aspects of real-time communications. It should be truly an excellent event!
P.S. You can still register if you would like to attend!

In the end, my impending job change is perhaps best explained by two quotes: this prescient quote from the 1992 film Sneakers:
"There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think… it's all about the information!"
and this quote from poet Mary Oliver:
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
For a longer explanation, read on... but perhaps not on a mobile phone... this one's a bit on the lengthy side...
Just shy of four years ago, I wrote here about joining this incredibly remarkable company, Voxeo, that probably none of you had ever heard of.
I hope I changed that a wee bit. :-)
Around a thousand blog posts later, a hundred videos, too many speaking engagements and webinars to count, many articles, a ton of analyst briefings and media interviews ... and countless tweets, Facebook posts and other updates later... it has been truly an amazing journey.
Along the way I have come to truly love the company - and I don't use that term lightly - and the incredible people who are gathered together focused on making Voxeo THE platform for developing and deploying communications applications. As I mentioned in a recent post, Voxeo is a rocketship, firing into the skies and leaving its competitors behind.
Over these four years, I have been living, breathing, eating, sleeping all things Voxeo... I have been proud to be a "Voxeon"... slice open my skin and it bleeds "Voxeo blue"...
And yet... I have never been able to escape the siren call of the larger battle going on all around us. It did not surprise me to find that the Voxeo blog in which I published the most posts is "Speaking of Standards". Listeners to my weekly reports into the FIR podcast have perhaps grown weary of my rants about "single points of failure" and the need for services that are "distributed and decentralized" that allow you to retain control over your information and content. Readers of my blogs have seen my many posts on the theme of "the open Internet".
We have before us a choice of futures.
One choice leads to a future where innovative companies like Voxeo can emerge, thrive, disrupt and succeed.
Another choice leads to a future where what little "innovation" there is exists only at the will of the gatekeepers to the network after appropriate requirements and/or payments are met. Other choices lead to outcomes somewhere in between those polarities.
How will we choose?
People accustomed to the ubiquity of the Web today might find it hard to believe that once upon a time you could only get certain news, technical, financial, movie or sports info on the service to which you subscribed... that you could only communicate with people who had accounts on the same system as you.
It was the era of the proverbial "walled gardens"... where each service tried to keep the walls high enough and the content pretty enough that you would never leave.
The forces of "openness" were around, too. Academic networks like BITNET and JANET on the one end and home-grown networks of BBS's like FidoNet on the other, with other networks and things like UUCP and Usenet floating around as well.
And then came this "Internet", the one network to interconnect them all.
And out of that interconnection and interoperability came the world we live in today... out of that chaotic world of engineers and open standards came this network that is now no longer simply a research network but instead has become critical communication infrastructure... and a critical component of commerce.
And with that rise to prominence come all those who would seek to change the nature of the network... for perceived safety... for convenience... for profit... for control... for "security"...
So now we see services like Facebook, Google+, Twitter and more that seek to provide a nice pretty space in which you can exchange messages, photos and more... without ever leaving the confines of the service... they are a walled garden with just many ways to access the garden and to look over the walls.
Everyone wants to own your eyeballs... to host your content... to provide your identity...
And we see companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft seeking to control a large degree of how we connect to and use the mobile Internet...
And we see a change from "permissionless innovation" where anyone can set up a new service... to a model where you have ask permission or agree to certain "terms of service" in order to connect your new service to other services or to have your app available on some platforms...
And we see countries that want to throw up a wall around their citizens... sometimes to keep information from coming in... and sometimes to keep information from going out... and sometimes to be able to shut down all access...
And we see players who did control our communications systems always looking for opportunities where they could maybe, just maybe, stuff the proverbial genie back in the bottle and regain that control they lost...
It's a crazy time...
As one who has lived through our online evolution, and who in fact has been able to do what I do and to live where I live because of the "open Internet", I don't want to see us return into a fractured world of walled gardens.
We can make a different choice.
In the midst of all this craziness exists a global nonprofit organization that many of you may not have heard of. It has a very simple mission:
to promote the open development, evolution, and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world.
The Internet Society, or "ISOC" for short, exists to promote the idea that "the Internet is for everyone", where "everyone" includes people all around the world... and yes, it includes the corporations, service providers, governments and other organizations, too. To support that mission, ISOC undertakes a wide variety of education and policy initiatives around the world, all with the aim of fostering the growth of the open Internet. Local "chapters" of ISOC have sprouted up around the globe pursuing these initiatives at a local/regional level. Perhaps more relevant to many readers, ISOC is the organizational home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the group that creates the RFCs and the open standards that describe how the Internet operates today. A significant amount of ISOC's focus is on facilitating the creation and promotion of these open standards. (For those curious to learn more, ISOC's 2010 Annual Report is available online.)
I was actually a dues-paying member of ISOC back in the early '90s, when each month I would read through their print magazine (very ironically, but this was pre-Web) "On The Internet" to learn more about how the Internet was evolving throughout the world. I rejoined again a year or two ago to help in some small way support this very important work. (You can join, too.)
And on this coming Monday, September 19th, I will join the Internet Society as a staff member.
The initiative is currently called the "Deployment and Operationalization Hub", or "DO Hub", and while that may or may not be its final name, the idea is to find/curate content that is already out there created by others, create content where there are gaps, make it easy to distribute information about these resources... and promote the heck out of it so that people get connected to the resources that they need. The initial focus will be, somewhat predictably, on IPv6, but also DNSSEC and possibly another technology. It is a new project and the focus is being very deliberately kept tight to see how effective this can be,
My title will be Senior Content Strategist and my role will very much be about the creation, curation and distribution of information. Writing articles, reviewing resources, blogging, creating videos, screencasts, etc, Once we have the initial repository built out, there will be a phase next year where we will be out on the conference circuit talking about these technologies and helping people understand how they can get started... and continually adding even more content.
For a guy who loves teaching, writing and "demystifying emerging technology", it's kind of tailor-made. In fact, when ISOC approached me a few months ago with the job description, my wife and I both looked at each other and said "wow, that's me!"
In the end, the goal is to help make it as easy as possible to deploy and use open standards... so that we might wind up collectively making the choices that can lead to an open Internet where innovation can thrive.
I'll still be living in Keene, NH. (Many ISOC employees are remote.) I'll still be blogging in my various blogs. I'll still be speaking at conferences from time to time. I'll be back at IETF meetings again (which I'm VERY much looking forward to). None of that really changes with this move.
..some other beginning's end. ("Closing Time", by Semisonic)
Leaving Voxeo was decidedly NOT an easy choice. I agonized over the decision for an insanely long time. I work with awesome people who I know I will miss, have been thoroughly enjoying what we are doing and have been looking forward to where the company is going... it has some amazing plans that will even further disrupt the industry!
Some will tell me that I am crazy... that Voxeo is the closest they've seen to a "sure thing"... that leaving is a dumb move.
They may be right.
And yet... recent events in my personal life have highlighted the fragility of our lives and the limited time we have - and the need to pursue one's passion.
And so it is that I end one beginning and start a new one... with the hope that in some small way the new work I do will help companies like Voxeo thrive - and indeed to help continue and expand the conditions that create companies like Voxeo.
We have a choice of futures before us...

NASA's Mars Rover Curiosity in Safe Mode After Computer Glitch
A computer glitch on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has forced the robot to switch to a backup computer while engineers try to resolve the problem.
In the meantime, Curiosity's science work is on hold, and the spacecraft is in a minimal-activity state known as "safe mode" while its backup computer is updated with the command codes and parameters it needs to take over the rover's full operations.
"We're still early on in the process," said Richard Cook, Curiosity project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "We have probably several days, maybe a week of activities to get everything back and reconfigured."
The issue cropped up Wednesday (Feb. 27), when the spacecraft failed to send its recorded data back to Earth and did not switch into its daily sleep mode as planned. After looking into the issue, engineers decided to switch the Curiosity rover from its primary "A-side" computer to its "B-side" backup on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. EST (22:30 GMT).
"Don't flip out: I just flipped over to my B-side computer while the team looks into an A-side memory issue," NASA officials wrote on behalf of the rover via Curiosity's Twitter feed.
The computer problem is related to a glitch in flash memory on the A-side computer caused by corrupted memory files, Cook said. Scientists are still looking into the root cause the corrupted memory, but it's possible the memory files were damaged by high-energy space particles called cosmic rays, which are always a danger beyond the protective atmosphere of Earth.
"The hardware that we fly is radiation tolerant," Cook told SPACE.com, "but there's a limit to how hardened it can be. You can still get high-energy particles that can cause the memory to be corrupted. It certainly is a possibility and that's what we're looking into."
Once Curiosity is up and running again, the rover should have no problem using its B-side computer as its primary computer for a while, officials said. As standard protocol, Curiosity, like many spacecraft, has redundant main computer systems as a safety precaution for just this type of anomaly.
"While we are resuming operations on the B-side, we are also working to determine the best way to restore the A-side as a viable backup," said JPL engineer Magdy Bareh, leader of the mission's anomaly resolution team, said in a statement.
Eventually, the team will want to turn the A-side computer back on and make sure both computers on the rover are healthy.
"We also want to look to see if we can make changes to software to immunize against this kind of problem in the future," Cook said.
The Curiosity rover, the centerpiece of NASA's $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory mission, launched in November 2011 and landed inside Mars' Gale Crater in August 2012. The rover is exploring Mars, searching for signs that the Red Planet may once have been habitable to microbial life. While originally slated for a two-year stint, the rover's mission has been extended indefinitely.
Recently, Curiosity has been analyzing rock samples collected using its onboard drill. It's the first time experiments have been conducted on powder from the interior of Martian rocks.
The short hiatus form science work caused by the computer issue shouldn't cause any long-term complications to the rover's mission, Cook said.

Love it. Had it for almost a year now. What I like about it is it's FR properties. I've brought it out camping, hiking, training, and hunting in the cold. General wear, it is good too. I also like how large it is, that way I can wrap it around my head if need be. Overall awesome product. It's kept me cool and warm good for most seasons.

- Multiple Purpose shemagh. Review by Jameson
Quality Price Value
This shemagh is the best Performing out of any traditional garment. It's lightweight, has antimicrobial properties, breathable and on top of that made out of FR Material.
The color ways have very little differences that you only see it if there side by side with coyote being the darkness. Overall, Durable and protective garment for cold, hot or harsh weather conditions. Great price point as well with traditional ones not being much difference.

Tiny Buildings: Sculpture by Laurie Poast
As someone foregoing a summer vacation in order to save up for a few home improvements, these delicate clay buildings by Amsterdam-based American artist Laurie Poast are the lovely reminder of far-off travels real or (in my case) only imagined.
From several-hundred-year-old windmills on Greek islands to French country farms to Dutch row houses, the tiny sculptures recall almost magical European landscapes — certainly a welcome view on any mantle top. Poast sells her handmade miniature buildings in her Etsy Shop, ARTISANIEeurope.

They're well-crafted but way out of my price range.
Cute and all, but it's just something that's going to litter up your shelf imho.
Love them. I have little finds like this, from my own travels, in unexpected places around the house and when I spy one out of the corner of my eye it takes me back to that time and place. I always feel like I reconnected with that rested feeling you have when on vacation.

Billy Bragg – Tooth And Nail 2013-FNT

Description: 2013 release, the first new studio album in five years from the veteran British singer/songwriter and political activist. Britain has never needed a illy Bragg album as much as it needs one right now.

Working with a small band of musicians whose talents had recently appeared on records by the likes of Bon Iver, Lana del Rey and Regina Spektor, the performances have a wonderfully spontaneous feel.

School Snacks and Drinks
Competitive Foods
The foods and beverages schools offer outside of meal programs are often called competitive foods because they compete with school meals for students' spending.
The foods and beverages schools offer outside of meal programs are often called competitive foods because they compete with school meals for students' spending.
More than half of the students in this Philadelphia study shopped at corner stores once daily, five days per week. Chips, candy, and sugary drinks were the most frequently purchased items.
Over nearly the past 30 years, U.S. children and adolescents have dramatically increased their consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, including soda, fruit drinks and punches, and sports drinks.
Teenagers purchased fewer sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages after seeing calorie information on signs posted in convenience stores.
In the middle of a national obesity epidemic, many sports drinks sold in the United States contain high amounts of sugar, adding more calories to youths' diets.
A poll reveals that many parents face a variety of barriers to helping their children lead healthy lives, especially during the "crunch time" from 3 p.m. to bedtime.

Hi there, I'm Sahana.
I've always been fascinated with why people do what they do. My favorite game to play as a child was The Question Game. You've played it too. It's simple: you keep asking questions until you stump an adult. And when you do stump them, you harass them with more questions. I was quite the charming child. This quickly became an excellent vehicle for me to learn about my world and the people in it.
It's nearly 20 years later, and it is still my favorite game. Only now, the goal is to incorporate my favorite questions into my projects and work (with a little less harassment). Here are a few of my favorite questions which I spend a lot of time thinking about:
- What drives people to build relationships with brands?
- How do you manufacture desire and create user habits?
- How do you build a thriving pay-it-forward behavior, without bribery?
- How do different kinds of mentorship impact peoples' growth trajectories?
As a marketer, I guess you could say I am interested in messing with peoples' heads. Gamification, Persuasive Technology, Neuromarketing, and other behavior-influencing techniques are some things I love learning about.
As the generally-curious person that I am, I am incredibly interested in the intersection of serendipitous real world connections, social good, and the power of technology. This led me to create a mentorship and growth accelerator program for high school students called "The Open Mind Experiment." OM aims to empower students to unleash their inner excellence through creative experiences in building, collaborating and engaging with their community.
My personal stories are much better told in person. I always love to connect with and learn from good people in the world. I'd love to hear from you, even if it's just to chat: sahana[at]sahanau.com.

Nontraditional Christmas Tree Options
I have saved so much money over the last few holidays by purchasing an artificial Christmas tree. This year I picked up Modernica's small superstar holiday tree and I am in love! It is the perfect size for my desk and makes me happy every time I look at it while working. When I go home for Christmas, my parents have a very traditional Christmas, but when I am in Los Angeles for the holidays I like to switch it up a bit with nontraditional decor.
You can dress up the wood Christmas trees or leave them plain for a more minimal look. I have seen Modernica's tree painted green and even painted with glitter. I think I may leave mine the natural wood tone, but buy some mini ornaments to jazz it up a bit. How will you be decorating for Christmas this year? Will you be buying a real tree or something less traditional?
• Superstar Holiday Tree (small): Modernica $229
• Natural Bay Leaf Tree (large): Pottery Barn $149
• Scalloped Trees (large): West Elm $63
• 3ft Tabletop Tree: PossibiliTree $160

Back in the 70s, my mother was hospitalized through the holidays. I made a 6' MACRAMA Christmas tree, complete with red and silver beads, and hung it on the wall of her room.
I was such a hippie....
That west elm tree would be a great DIY with a styrofoam form and a box of popsicle sticks or even thin branches from a tree. Hmm...thanks for the inspiration!
I stack all of my large tomato cages not in use over the winter and wind pearlized white globe lights around it. It looks fantastic! And works great as a storage solution for my tomato cages in my tiny apt.
zimmerwoman, I love that tomato cages idea!
Some people here make driftwood Christmas trees decorated with bromeliads, then after new year's disassemble it and return the components to the garden.
Another great choice are artisan crafted wooden trees by Festive Tree, a small design firm out of New Hampshire that creates beautiful trees. Sustainable, made to use for generations.
I was lucky enough to get a Smith & Hawken Heirloom Ornament Tree just before they went out of business. (http://rosenotes.typepad.com/.a/6a010535bf3807970c01287655179b970c-pi)
Since the tree is made of metal, I am making soft and colorful felt owl ornaments for it this year.
My mom has a Douglas fir, and it's very pretty and smells great, but it takes a lot of time and attention to decorate, water, remove decorations and clean up the needles.

Rebecca, Alexandra, and Jessica dismissed their mother's anxiety about her decision to delay delivering the news. The Scotts also knew they had to widen the circle, reaching out to other relatives and to the families of Randy's co-workers. The five words and two numbers had written a new narrative for them as well, a narrative Denise found herself repeating in the months to come, "again, and again, and again, and again, and again."
In March, Denise and Rebecca took a hardhat tour of the museum, which is not yet open to the public. They were shown the area where Randy's note will be displayed as part of an exhibit to document the final moments inside the World Trade Center.
"It's so amazing to think that Randy Scott wrote it and it eventually ended up with his wife and three daughters, which is an amazing arc of a day," said Ramirez, the museum's curator. "We are incredibly proud to be able to show it and I think it will be one of the most powerful artifacts in the museum."
The Scotts are aware that if not for the spot of Randy's blood, they and other families could have one day seen the letter in the museum without knowing its origins. Over the past 11 years, some families have chosen not to be notified by the medical examiner's office when fragments are found.
"I can't do that. I can't do that," Denise repeated. "The last notification of remains I got was in 2008. And I can't do that. I can't leave him there. I cannot leave him there."
Better to know the truth, even when it comes in the form of a message that took a decade to be delivered.
"It tells people the story of the day," Denise said.
In just five words and two numbers.

This should come as no surprise but don't expect quarterback Tarvaris Jackson to play in Saturday night's preseason game against Pittsburgh. Jackson sprained his right medial collateral ligament against Baltimore in the first quarter last Saturday. He took part in individual drills in practice this week but did not take part in 11-on-11 drills. Jackson could be out until the regular-season opener Sept. 8 at Green Bay.
Meanwhile, the Vikings, like the rest of NFL teams hosting games this weekend, will observe a moment of silence in memory longtime NFL union head Gene Upshaw before Saturday night's preseason game against Pittsburgh. Upshaw, 63, died Wednesday night of pancreatic cancer.

MONDAY, Dec. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Children who live in
smoke-free apartments but have neighbors who light up suffer from
exposure to smoke that seeps through walls or shared ventilation
systems, new research shows.
Compared to kids who live in detached homes, apartment-dwelling
children have 45 percent more cotinine, a marker of tobacco
exposure, in their blood, according to a study published in the
January issue of
Although this study didn't look at whether the health of the
children was compromised, previous studies have shown physiologic
changes, including cognitive disruption, with increased levels of
cotinine, even at the lowest levels of exposure, said study author
Dr. Karen Wilson.
"We think that this research supports the efforts of people who have already been moving towards [banning smoking in multi-unit housing] in their own communities," added Wilson, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.
Vince Willmore, vice president of communications at the Campaign
for Tobacco-Free Kids, agreed. "This study demonstrates the
importance of implementing smoke-free policies in multi-unit
housing and of parents adopting smoke-free policies in all homes,"
Willmore said. Since smoke doesn't stay in one place, Willmore said
only comprehensive smoke-free policies provide effective
The authors analyzed data from a national survey of 5,002
children between 6 and 18 years old who lived in nonsmoking homes.
The children lived in detached houses, attached homes and
apartments, which allowed the researchers to see if cotinine levels
varied by types of housing.
About three-quarters of children living in any kind of housing
had been exposed to secondhand smoke, but apartment dwellers had 45
percent more cotinine in their blood than residents of detached
houses. For white apartment residents, the difference was even more
startling: a 212 percent increase vs. 46 percent in blacks and no
increase in other races or ethnicities.
But a major limitation of the study is that the authors couldn't
separate other potential sources of exposure, such as family
members who only smoked outside but might carry particles indoors
on their clothes. Nor did it take into account day-care centers or
other forms of child care that might contribute to smoke
Even so, Willmore said, "It's critical that we take additional
action to protect our children from secondhand smoke," especially
in light of a recent report from the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention stating that more than half of children aged
3-11 are exposed to secondhand smoke.
"Some municipalities, especially in California and Washington, have started moving towards [restricting smoking in multi-unit housing], and in New York City some private apartment buildings and condominium complexes have banned smoking," said Wilson.
Noting that some consider a smoking ban in apartments an
infringement upon personal rights and privacy, the authors say the
civil liberties argument only holds if the smoke has no impact on
one's neighbors.
"We also feel very strongly that if we're going to be putting restrictions on smoking in people's homes . . . we need to be sure we have the resources in place for smokers to either cut down or smoke in other places," said Wilson.
But such initiatives have already angered advocates of smokers'
rights and are likely to do so again.
A second study in the same issue of
Pediatrics found that as smoke-free laws get tougher, kids'
asthma symptoms, though not asthma rates, are declining.
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health examined
U.S. health data from 1999 to 2006, and found a 33 percent decline
in symptoms, including persistent wheeze and chronic night cough,
among kids who weren't exposed to smoke.
Prior research from the same group had found that tougher laws
were also linked with lower cotinine levels in children and
adolescents, down about 60 percent between 2003 and 2006 in
children living in smoke-free homes.
According to the study authors, 73 percent of U.S. residents are
now covered by smoke-free laws.

The Zac Brown Band's fourth studio album, "Uncaged," won't arrive until July 10, but the Atlanta country-rockers are giving fans an advance listen to "The Wind," which debuted today on The Boot website.
Brown told the site that it's "probably the most country song we've done," and he isn't exaggerating. With its zippy bluegrass picking, layered harmonies on the chorus and toe-tapping beat, "The Wind" should elicit a strong response live.
A few months ago, the band's Coy Bowles talked to the AJC about the album, which includes songs co-written with pals Jason Mraz and Southern Ground artists Sonia Leigh and Nic Cowan, and said to expect "some rock tunes, some island-based song and some with a U2/Kings of Leon vibe."
Brown was a surprise guest at Sunday's Georgia Dome show with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. The bearded one collaborated with buddy Chesney on ZBB's "Knee Deep" and Alabama's "Dixieland Delight."
What do you think of the new song?

Hope, pray he's in town this W/End for the Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefers show at Lakewood. KNEE DEEP doesn't sound the same without Mobile's own Jimmy Buffett.

Lincoln, NE (SportsNetwork.com) - Terran Petteway poured in a career-high 35 points, as the Nebraska Cornhuskers held off the Minnesota Golden Gophers, 82-78, in Big Ten Conference action at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Petteway shot 10-of-15 from the floor, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range, and drained 11-of-14 foul shots for Nebraska (10-9, 2-5 Big Ten), which has won two of three. Walter Pitchford and Shavon Shields chipped in 13 and 10 points, respectively.
Malik Smith matched a career best with 29 points for Minnesota (15-6, 4-4) while tying a school record with eight 3-pointers. DeAndre Mathieu added 13 points for the visitors but also committed nine turnovers.
Nebraska shot 46.4 percent from the field in the first half, slightly better than Minnesota's 45.8 percent, as it carried a 35-30 lead into intermission.
The Cornhuskers controlled most of the second half and held a 10-point lead with 1:30 left to play. The Gophers caught fire down the stretch, making their deficit just two with two seconds left on a Daquein McNeil layup, but Petteway made two free throws at the other end to seal the victory for Nebraska.
Nebraska finished 11-of-22 from 3-point range, while Minnesota was also strong from beyond the arc at 10-of-20.

A male state trooper joins a female officer on paid suspension, amid the investigation of her videotaped body cavity search of two women along a highway. CLICK HERE to see the video of the incident. [WARNING: This video is graphic in nature.]
A Dallas County grand jury this month could consider the case involving Troopers David Ferrell and Kelly Helleson. Texas Rangers helped investigate last July's traffic stop in Irving. The Department of Public Safety suspended both troopers in late December.
An Irving woman and her adult niece sued both troopers and D-P-S director Steve McCraw last month. Angel and Ashley Dobbs say the search videotaped by a patrol car camera was illegal and humiliating. The women say Ferrell stopped them after seeing cigarette butts thrown out a window. Helleson searched the pair. No drugs were found.

One of the very first tasks you will encounter when entering information into Aplos or any fund accounting software involves determining your accounting year or "tax year". (Within Aplos, System Preferences allows you to enter the appropriate information.)
An accounting year is simply the 12 month period over which an organization's accounts are calculated. Deciding what 12 month period you use depends a great deal on what makes the most sense for your organization.
Calendar year – A calendar tax year is 12 consecutive months beginning January 1 and ending December 31.
Fiscal year – A fiscal tax year is 12 consecutive months ending on the last day of any month except December. A 52-53-week tax year is a fiscal tax year that varies from 52 to 53 weeks but does not have to end on the last day of a month.
For more in depth information, take a look at the IRS Publication 538.

I've wondered about this for a long time. How can it be that one of the two states where concealed carry is truly a RIGHT, i.e., no permit is required, is the uber-liberal New England state of Vermont? (the other is Alaska.) How is this possible? Any Vermonters (or anyone else) out there that can explain this?

I could be wrong but I don't believe Vermont is all that ultra liberal. I think that a southern New England thing. You get up in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine and it's pretty much just normal folks versus communist hippies who want to change the world.
Then why did Vermont elect Congress' first out-of-the-closet socia1ist to the U.S. Senate (Bernie Sanders)?
New Hampshire has historically been a red state, but it is being invaded by New Yorkers and folks from Connecticut and Massachusetts (where the taxes are too high, evidently) who are died-in-the-wool liberals.
(Tangential note: Check out the Congressional Progressive Caucus for a pretty good list of socia1ists in Congress. These fine folks believe they know better than you do how to spend your money and how best to use your land.)
Okay, maybe you're wrong and maybe you're not. I'm just trying to get an answer maybe from someone who can speak with some authority on the issue. I'm interested because the thought of moving there or to NH has crossed my mind more than once.
Although I live in Ca. now I have lived in Vermont and have large numbers of famly there. Vermont is more of a libertarian state than anything else. A fiercely strong independence theme runs through much of the Vermont mentality. Goes all the way back to the 'Green Mountain Boys' of the revolutionary period. Vermonters are financially conservative, socially liberal and believe that the best place for government is 'out of my business'. With that mentality why would any LAW ABIDING PERSON need a permit to carry 'any way they wanted to'.

Existing book - no option for an ebook?
I have a book I made last year that was a 12 × 12 160 page book that I would now like to order as an ebook, but it doesn't give me that option when I try to "order more". All my other books give me the option except this one. Does anyone know why?
I am having the same problem. Did you ever receive and answer or find out what is going on?
Hi Brian and Tricia,
You should be able to purchase an ebook of your existing books using these instructions.
If you run into trouble with it, please get in touch with Support and let them know the details about what you've tried and which book in your account you're attempting to purchase.

The link to 'these instructions' is giving me a NO NO 'permission denied' it says. Same when I try to enter it from my books. Can't get to the instructions at all. I too am interested in selling my books in the e-book version, because the paper ones doesn't sell at all, because today people don't want to spend 20 bucks for a book anymore.
Permission denied, illegal parameter it says.
Hi Titia,
The link to that FAQ is definitely still good – I've just tested it myself!
You should probably start by trying a different browser – Firefox, Safari or Chrome, but not Internet Explorer.
If you want to get help from the Blurb support staff directly, please contact us! Otherwise, the forums should be used for sharing tips and information among users, like yourself.

Able to be stretched to a fantastic degree.
One night while George and Carl got into one of those conversations straight guys wish they never started. They were trying to decide who's back end was more fedorable. After avoiding being candid for awhile, the grain alcohol kicked in, and George blurted out, "Hell I once had half of skull and bones up there. You know how wild those parties can get."
Carl couldn't get this out of his mind while he watched the State of the Union address.
