Cloud Expo Early Bird Savings here!
The revolution that happened in the server universe over the past 15 years has resulted in an eco-system that is more open, more democratically innovative and produced better results in technically challenging dimensions like scale. The underpinnings of the revolution were common hardware, standards based APIs (ex. POSIX) and a strict adherence to layering and isolation between applications, daemons and kernel drivers/modules which allowed multiple types of development happen in parallel without hindering others. Put simply, today's server model is built on a consistent x86 platform with few surprises in its core components. A kernel abstracts away the platform, so that applications and daemons are decoupled from the hardware. In contrast, networking equipment is still stuck in the mainframe era. Today, networking equipment is a single appliance, including hardware, OS, applications and user interface come as a monolithic entity from a single vendor. Switching between different vendor's hardware requires using a completely different OS, set of applications and user interface.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

ARLINGTON, (AP) Seth Smith homered and scored three times, Bartolo Colon pitched seven strong innings for his first win in nearly a month and the Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 9-2 on Monday night.
Colon, who turns 40 on Friday, gave up two runs on six hits and struck out three. It was the first win for Colon (3-3) since April 23 at Boston.
Coco Crisp got three hits, and had the first of three straight Oakland doubles in a four-run fifth inning that broke a 1-1 tie. He scored when Yeonis Cespedes hit a line drive just over Adrian Beltre's head with the third baseman playing in, and Cespedes came home on Brandon Moss' line drive to the wall in right.
Josh Lindblom (0-1) lost in his 2013 debut and first major league start.

Black Friday is still several weeks away, but Google is telling webmasters to prepare starting immediately. Beyond increased mobile searches and higher mobile ad actions, more mobile users are starting their shopping early.
The Rise of Mobile Action
Google has compiled forecasts about this holiday season using historical growth rates. Of greatest note are the statistics that:
- 15 percebt of "Black Friday" searches will be from tablets or smartphones.
- 44 percent of searches for store locations and last minute gifts will come from tablets or smartphones.
- 65 percent of smartphone and tablet users report having located and purchased an item at a brick-and-mortar store using their mobile device.
- More than a third of high-end mobile device users intend on starting their holiday shopping before Thanksgiving.
But Google isn't the only group to witness the increased actions of mobile users. Millennial Media's 50th report gives details on the dramatic increase in affirmative user actions after clicking on a mobile ad:
Downloading, enrolling, visiting, and calling are all way up. While we can blame at least some of that on more creativity and tools from mobile marketers (click-to-call, video, and app advertisements are fairly recent inventions), at least a good chunk comes from user behaviors.
Further, an eBay report indicated that mobile users aren't just active – they're big spenders. Tablet users spend 50 percent more than their PC-using equivalent, according to the report.
What it Means for Marketers
Mobile optimization is a big topic, but the forecasts and studies cited above bring up some items worth keeping in mind.
First, brick-and-mortar locations should keep mobile optimization and mobile advertising high on their list. Users are not only willing to engage in action with brick-and-mortar location, but in the last week before Christmas – when there's a second mobile shopping rush – they're actively trying to.
Second, mobile optimization for non-standard platforms – videos, app downloads, and so forth – are showing as effective. Those who haven't experimented yet would do well to test the waters of this new territory.
And last, Google's not kidding: With so many shoppers aiming for pre-Thanksgiving buys, the time is now to get moving on mobile optimization.

Lonely Hearts, Like Minds
The eccentric personal ads of 'romantically awkward eggheads.'
If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain . . . then you're probably stuck in 1979. That's when songwriter Rupert Holmes released "Escape"—soon renamed "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)"—about a guy who's so bored with his "lady" that he answers a newspaper personal ad, only to discover that he has arranged an assignation—with his lady!
Radio stations played the laid-back anthem of incompetent philanderers with such maddening frequency that "Escape" soon imprisoned the entire country. The song might have been a commercial success, but in its pop-awfulness it also marked what seemed to be the nadir in the long history of what used to be called lonely-hearts advertisements. But no, it took the emergence of Craigslist for that.
Then again, personal ads in this country have never been particularly edifying. They've taken a variety of forms, from the trolling by fetishists 'n' freaks in the Village Voice's back pages to the dead-letter overtures in the New York Review of Books. (If you like Pinot Grigio and getting caught trying to sneak into a Noam Chomsky lecture . . .) But regardless of the venue, the ads have shared a few common themes. One is epic self-regard—the typical personals column promises the beautiful, sensitive, brilliant, soulful and their synonyms.
Another common theme is a thicket of initials (SWM for single white male, WLTM for would like to meet, etc.) meant to conserve classified-ad expenses but also lending a sense of grim efficiency to the project—not so much affairs of the heart as affairs of 75-characters- or-less shorthand. And then there is that hallmark of the personal-ad columns: utter humorlessness, notwithstanding all the SWF protestations about looking for someone "who makes me laugh."
Sexually, I'm More of a Switzerland
Edited by David Rose
(Scribner, 180 pages, $16
Craigslist, of course, has now industrialized the personals business, becoming a massive online clearinghouse of women seeking women, women seeking men, men seeking men, men seeking women, "misc romance," "casual encounters" and "missed connections." Cupid, it appears, now works at the Chicago Board of Trade.
Hallelujah, then, for the arrival on these shores of "Sexually, I'm More of a Switzerland," a collection of personal ads written by true artists—well, satirists, anyway—of the form. Those would be the readers of the London Review of Books, who for years seem to have been locked in a competition to see who can come up with the most self-deprecating, eccentric, romantically heedless self-advertisements, apparently in the belief that there's no stronger aphrodisiac than the vaguely interested potential love-interest.
"England's best hope for Olympic gold if ever there was an Olympic event for wearing plaid and brogues. Man, 56," reads an entry that shouldn't be regarded as typical because one of the collection's joys is the staggering variety of ways that people find to solicit human connection without appearing to.
"Think of every sexual partner you've ever had. I'm nothing like them. Unless you've ever slept with a bulimic German cellist named Elsa. Elsa: bulimic German cellist (F, 37)."
"English lecturer, 44. Modelling himself on The Fonz in an entirely non-ironic way since 1979."
"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade—instead squeeze it into the face of your cheating arse of a husband then cut the legs off every pair of trousers he owns. Sensitive F, 45."
"Straight line. Straight line. Funny line. Sucker punch. Busy man, 36."
Still, certain patterns in the LRB's classifieds do emerge, and there's no better man to detect them than editor David Rose. He was working in advertising sales at the publication in 1998 when it occurred to him that a personals column might drum up some business from "Britain's most romantically awkward eggheads," as he says in his introduction. The personal ads soon became an LRB mainstay, a sort of fortnightly writing contest with an enthusiastic following. This book is the second collection of the review's personal ads, following "They Call Me Naughty Lola" (2006).
In the present volume, Mr. Rose provides themed chapters, using a piquant quote from one of the ads to signal what's ahead. The chapters include "A time capsule of despair"; "The usual hyperbole and a whiff of playful narcissism"; and "Only love is catching" (a section of ads mentioning diseases, as in "Love me, love my fungal skin complaint. Man, 37, charmless and flaky"). One chapter, called "You know who you are," is devoted entirely to ads employing that slightly menacing phrase. ("Woman, 38: WLTM man to 40 who doesn't try to high-five her after sex. You know who you are.")
Another chapter, "Further evidence of the Banach-Tarski paradox," features ads that are eggheaded even by LRB standards. Luckily, Mr. Rose is a deft and unobtrusive annotator. When we encounter the ad "Apparently the Three Symmedians aren't a novelty Bosnian folk troupe. Rubbish mathematician (M, 37)," Mr. Rose is at the ready with a footnote explaining that "symmedians" is a reference to three geometrical lines intersecting in a single point on a triangle.
You may or may not need to be reminded that A Flock of Seagulls was "a 1980s New Wave band from Liverpool," but you'll certainly be grateful for the footnote translating an ad that consists entirely of 1s and 0s (more than half a page), ending with the phrase ". . . and must have keen knowledge of binary systems." The numbers, deciphered by Mr. Rose: "32-year-old computing geek seeks open-minded blonde twin sisters with very large breasts. Own mansion with pool an advantage." Waiter, fetch those nice young ladies a couple of piña coladas.
Mr. Lasswell is the Journal's deputy books editor.

Hello - Under "General Options" I made the mistake of changing the "WordPress address (URI)." It is now different than Blog address (URI).
I want to change it back, but I cannot. Everytime that I try to change it I get, "must enable referers." I have tired virtually every option to do that that I can. I have deleted cookies, added a firefox referrer extension. I tried it from Opera. Nothing seems to work.
All that I want to do is change the WordPress address back to where it was, so that my site will look normal again and I can start using it.
Can anyone help? Can I download one of the .php pages via Dreamweaver and then change some settings?
Any help would be appreciated - Ryan

Little Mermaid Ride Poster by justin-mctwispWatch
©2011-2016 justin-mctwisp
Okay so I made this a while back, before Disneyland had them Posted up everywhere, I just wanted to have my own to hang on a wall, and since they don't sell these yet, I made up a quick opy of my own.
Is it OK for me to print this image? I can't seem to find this as a poster anywhere (except the Disneyland parks).
how big did you make it? it looks really cool! i wish i had one, but they still don't sell them
full size print would be about 5 foot tall
wow! well its incredible! how on earth do you print it to be that large??? anyways its amazing! it looks just like the original poster! fantastic job!!!
cool! seen this at disneys cailfornia adventure park! its near cars land i think!
Right! They don't sell it, and I wanted my own. So I whipped this up. There are some minor differences, but still almost exact.
is this official? i've seen this else where
Wait... Did you make this or did you find this somewhere.... cause this loooks like you just copied and pasted it from Disneyland! BRAVO! I love the fonts! Especially "Ariel's Undersea Adventure", it looks just like something you'd see in Disneyland!
I pain-stakingly painted this poster digitally...it's actuall size is 3.5 feet by 5 feet tall.
Yes these colors are Perfect. Lovely work! You recreated the palace perfectly! Bravo
gorgeous I love the posterised style you incorporated, really suits the colour scheme
My only suggestion is that the lighting on Ariel's tail looks a little odd and maybe should just be a rounded strip of light. if that makes sense..
otherwise lovely

Piece Fingerprinting: Binding Content and Data Blocks Together in Peer-to-Peer Networks
Peer-to-peer systems provide a scalable content distribution environment where each peer contributes with a share of resources in the distributed system. The efficiency of peer-to-peer networks comes from the file segmentation procedure, allowing peers to redistribute small pieces of the original file as soon as they finish downloading them instead of waiting for the complete file download. Moreover, the decentralized fashion of the paradigm with multiple sources makes it scalable and robust under high churn. Due to the popularity of such systems, many attacks such as content pollution arose, targeting the content integrity by inserting bogus data in the network to increase the download time and bandwidth consumption.

To examine whether typical modes of anger expression (i.e., anger-in, anger-out) were related to cardiovascular, affective, behavioral, and cognitive responses to interpersonal conflict, 20 anger-in and 20 anger-out undergraduate men participated in 2 role plays, one in which they were instructed to exhibit their anger overtly and the other in which they inhibited their anger. Results showed that anger-in individuals used significantly more repression self-statements than anger-out individuals across both role play interactions (p > .01). Anger-out persons showed exaggerated diastolic blood pressure response in contrast to anger-in participants, but only during the exhibited anger role play (p > .04). When the anger exhibition role play followed anger inhibition, diastolic blood pressure responses were more intense (p > .05), and heart rate recovery was significantly slower (p > .03) among anger-out participants in contrast to anger-in participants. These findings indicate that modes of anger expression (trait) and contextual demands of the interaction (state) interact in complex ways to influence biobehavioral reactions to anger provocation.

I have used my K2 literally every day since getting it over four years ago. It's showing it's age a bit from all that usage and I'm starting to get nervous that one day it's just going to give out on me all of a sudden. I'm so attached to this model that I have recently purchased a used K2 in good condition, instead of buying a new Kindle as a backup. I love having the keyboard and buttons for quick, no-fuss access to things, and I like that the info such as book title, location number, battery status, and wireless status are always displayed on the screen, which isn't true on the models after this one.
If you're not a touch screen fan (like me) or don't have a lot of money to spend, then getting a good condition used K2 on ebay or elsewhere might be the way to go. Kindles of this age might be having battery problems (mine was only holding a charge for a couple days until I got a new battery), but you can purchase replacement battery kits online and replace it yourself. It's relatively simple.
Original review below:
I'm a new Kindle 2 owner and I did not own a Kindle 1. I was very interested in the original Kindle, but had decided to wait for improvements based on customer feedback after it was released, especially the accidental page turning issue. Since it looked like they made the improvements I was waiting for (one of the others was a bit more free space on the case to hold it) I took the plunge and got the new one.
I thought I'd start with listing my reasons for getting the Kindle, since I think that can sometimes help others who are sitting on the fence to decide if it's for them or not.

On the other hand my Kindle 1 annoys me... unintended page changes, the awkward way I sometimes have to hold it to keep from hitting buttons, the sometimes slow page refresh, and the screen freezes that now has me traveling with a paper clip lest I need to do a reset while commuting on the train.
I've had the Kindle 2 in my hands for almost a day and have carried it on one commute. What follows is my "first impressions" review of the Kindle 2 from the perspective of an owner of the original K1. What's different, what's better and what's worse?
5 big things I immediately noticed as different:
First, when taking the K2 out of the box I immediately noted that the back cover is not easily removable (if at all) and won't slip off in my hands - as was frequent with the K1. The keyboard is also much much smaller and less obtrusive.
The second thing I noticed is power management. No longer do I have to press and hold two buttons to put the device to sleep. The switches for On/Off and Wireless On/Off are gone. There's a single small switch at the top of the K2 that handles Sleep.
The third thing I noticed - where's the silver strip? In fact, the entire navigation structure has been completely revised - I'm still getting used to it but it's a huge step forward. The silver strip has been replaced by a 4-way rocker that can also be pressed for "OK" commands, creating bookmarks, and doing highlighting.
The fourth thing I noticed - while page changing doesn't seem to me to be particularly faster - almost every other interaction on the screen is vastly accelerated...Read more ›
Here's the shocker... I LOVE it! I can't even believe how much I love my Kindle. A friend of mine wrote a detailed critique of the first Kindle, and I have to say that the new design is a vast improvement. Aside from being slimmer and sleeker, there are plenty of places to hold the device comfortably without activating any functions. The screen is easy to read off of, and I honestly believe that I can read faster on a Kindle than I do with a traditional book. I'm not sure why. Faster page turns? What I can tell you is that it's exceedingly comfortable and easy to read off the Kindle anywhere, but especially when you have limited space--like on public transportation. You can easily hold the Kindle and turn pages with a single hand.
The Kindle has several features that could best be described as... cool. My eyesight is fine, but I can choose the font size that suits me best. Likewise, I love the text-to-speech feature. A big frustration in my life is that I can't work on my embroidery (I'm a dinosaur, remember?) and read at the same time. Now, I can have the Kindle read to me while I stitch. Yes, it's sort of tinny and mechanical, but it's still a really nice option to use occasionally. In addition to reading published books, I read a lot of unpublished manuscripts. It's not uncommon to see me schlepping around 600 pages of loosely bound paper.Read more ›

OCALA, Fla. (AP) - An off-duty Marion County Sheriff's detective got more then he bargained for when he saw a person towing a travel trailer with a "For Sale" and called the number to find out the price.
Detective Thomas Tingue was returning from vacation when he made the call. But the person who answered said the trailer had been reported stolen earlier in the day and then described the person suspected of stealing the vehicle.
Tingue followed the vehicle and approached the driver, 50-year-old Tommy Behringer of Franklin, N.C. Tingue called for backup and Behringer was arrested. A sheriff's spokeswoman says Behringer is still in custody and has a $2,000 bond. It was unclear if he had an attorney.
The detective, meanwhile, says he's no longer interested in the trailer.
