PROTECTING THE OPEN INTERNET: EXPERIENCE AND FUTURE CHALLENGES Henning Schulzrinne FCC & Columbia University with slides by Julie Knapp, Walter Johnston, Karen Peltz-Strauss, and others
What is network neutrality? "The principle advocates no restrictions by Internet service providers and governments on content, sites, platforms, the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and the modes of communication." (Wikipedia) 2005 FCC statement: "access the lawful Internet content of their choice. run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement. connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network. competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers." = Any lawful content, any lawful application, any lawful device, any provider 2
Two views Open Internet advocates no prioritization flat rates all networks Free market advocates no real problem allow any business arrangement "it's my network" use anti-monopoly laws if needed
Why? Civic considerations freedom to read (passive) freedom to discuss & create (active) Economic opportunity edge economy >> telecom economy Telecom revenue (US): $330B Content, etc. not that large, however Google: $8.44B others that depend on ability to provide services content, application, service providers Technical motivation avoid network fragmentation reduce work-around complexity
Broadband virtuous cycle fixed broadband cellular broadband broadband availability applications (e-learning, telemedicine, telework, …) adoption (relevance)
State of competition (US) FCC: Internet Access Services Status as of December 31, 2009
April 30, 2007NYC network neutrality hearing How to be non-neutral deep packet inspection block Skype block transport protocol block ports insert RST block IP addresses QoS discrimination block IP addresses QoS discrimination application transport network
Some high-profile US cases Madison River (2005) DSL provider blocked SIP ports fined $15,000 by FCC Comcast (late 2007) insert TCP RST into BitTorrent traffic later overturned on appeal in DC Circuit Court RCN (2009): P2P Various mobile operators Comcast vs. Level 3 (2010, in dispute) Level-3
Network neutrality & freedom of speech Applies only to U.S. government, not private entities Example: soap box in city park vs. mall private vs. public universities Freedom to speak + no forced speech demise of "fairness doctrine" (1949-1987) 9 1 st amendment: Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech
Which Internet are you connected to? multi cast QoS IPv6 IPv4 PIA IPv4 DHCP IPv4 NAT port 80 + 25
New name, old concept: Common carrier Since 1600s: A common carrier in common-law countries … is a person or company that transports goods or people for any person or company and that is responsible for any possible loss of the goods during transport. A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body. (Wikipedia) e.g., FedEx, Greyhound, telecommunications providers, Disneyland 11
Network transparency RFC 1958: "Architectural Principles of the Internet" However, in very general terms, the community believes that the goal is connectivity, the tool is the Internet Protocol, and the intelligence is end to end rather than hidden in the network. RFC 2275: "Internet Transparency" NATs, firewalls, ALGs, relays, proxies, split DNS RFC 3724: "The Rise of the Middle and the Future of End-to- End: Reflections on the Evolution of the Internet Architecture" RFC 4924: "Reflections on Internet Transparency" A network that does not filter or transform the data that it carries may be said to be "transparent" or "oblivious" to the content of packets. Networks that provide oblivious transport enable the deployment of new services without requiring changes to the core. It is this flexibility that is perhaps both the Internet's most essential characteristic as well as one of the most important contributors to its success.
Network transparency and neutrality neutral transparent QoS discrimination pay for priority block protocol features
Means, motive and opportunity Political motivation suppress undesirable opinion e.g., union web site, abortion SMS Economic advantage prevent competition in related services e.g., VoIP or over-the-top VoD leverage pricing power OTT content provider has to offer service to everyone market segmentation consumer vs. business customers Non-tariff barriers e.g., special (undocumented) APIs 14
BEREC report BEREC findings on traffic management practices in Europe
Example: VoIP restrictions
Who is covered? Broadband Internet Access Service = A mass-market retail service by wire or radio that provides the capability to transmit data to and receive data from all or substantially all Internet endpoints, including any capabilities that are incidental to and enable the operation of the communications service, but excluding dial-up Internet access service. This term also encompasses any service that the Commission finds to be providing a functional equivalent of the service described in the previous sentence, or that is used to evade the protections set forth in this Part. excludes "edge providers": CDNs, search engines, … dial-up coffee shops, bookstores, airlines (premise operators)
Principles Transparency. Fixed and mobile broadband providers must disclose the network management practices, performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services; No blocking. Fixed broadband providers may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; mobile broadband providers may not block lawful websites, or block applications that compete with their voice or video telephony services No unreasonable discrimination. Fixed broadband providers may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic. 18
47 CFR 8 § 8.1Purpose. The purpose of this Part is to preserve the Internet as an open platform enabling consumer choice, freedom of expression, end- user control, competition, and the freedom to innovate without permission. § 8.3Transparency. A person engaged in the provision of broadband Internet access service shall publicly disclose accurate information regarding the network management practices, performance, and commercial terms of its broadband Internet access services sufficient for consumers to make informed choices regarding use of such services and for content, application, service, and device providers to develop, market, and maintain Internet offerings.
Disclosure (Transparency) – Network Practices Congestion management: congestion management practices; types of traffic; purposes; practices' effects on end users' experience; criteria used in practices, such as indicators of congestion that trigger a practice, and the typical frequency of congestion; usage limits and the consequences of exceeding them; and references to engineering standards, where appropriate. Application-Specific Behavior Device Attachment Rules Security 20
Disclosure (Transparency) – Performance Service description: A general description of the service, including the service technology, expected and actual access speed and latency, and the suitability of the service for real-time applications. Impact of specialized services: If applicable, what specialized services, if any, are offered to end users, and whether and how any specialized services may affect the last-mile capacity available for, and the performance of, broadband Internet access service. 21
Disclosure (Transparency) – Commercial Terms Pricing: For example, monthly prices, usage-based fees, and fees for early termination or additional network services. Privacy Policies: For example, whether network management practices entail inspection of network traffic, and whether traffic information is stored, provided to third parties, or used by the carrier for non-network management purposes. Redress Options: Practices for resolving end-user and edge provider complaints and questions. 22
Measurement Broadband America Lucid broadband Internet access provider (ISP) backbone ISP Measuring Broadband America 2011 & 2012 Measuring Broadband America future? 23
The MBA project - logistics Enlisted cooperation: 13 ISPs covering 86% of US population vendors, trade groups, universities and consumer groups Reached agreement reached on what to measure and how to measure it Enrolled roughly 9,000 consumers as participants 6,800 (7,782) active during March 2011 (April 2012) A total of 9,000 active over the data collection period 24

2011: Most ISPs deliver close to advertised during peak hours 26

Open Internet & QoS Principle of end user control E.g., DiffServ bits or signaling RSVP or NSIS or out-of-band ("please prioritize UDP port 5050") Together with rate or volume limits "Includes 1,000 minutes of VoIP priority" Technical difficulties DSCP bit re-marking Symmetric treatment for incoming traffic
ETNO WCIT proposal For this purpose, and to ensure an adequate return on investment in high bandwidth infrastructures, operating agencies shall negotiate commercial agreements to achieve a sustainable system of fair compensation for telecommunications services and, where appropriate, respecting the principle of sending party network pays. Problems: what is QoS? 5% packet loss: ok for voice, 500 kb/s data encourages scarcity discourages CDNs may make content unavailable transaction costs terminating access monopoly http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/ETNO%20C109.pdf
Internet money flows today 30 contenteyeball ISP CDN backbone (transit) $0 or $0 "bill & keep"
Conclusion Fundamental debate about the nature of the Internet Internet as economic input, not another video distribution channel Competition may not ensure openness and competition is uneven Need for consumer information performance network characteristics

One of the most delicious Italian restaurants in town with a very very fair price great service unique atmosphere right on the landing strip where all the shopping is as well I would recommend anybody from anywhere up to check this place out it is awesome!
Been there 20 years. Great quality. Real italian own by an italian Roberto. Great service. Few places in Lincoln road not touristic only. Locals go too. Been going at least 10 years. Great prices and quality. It comes from the mother from Rome. Been to a lot of pricy Italian and keep coming back. Penne Gorgonzola, lasagna pizza marguerita etc...... More
The location is great but that's it. The fried veal was like something from a fast food drive thru but worse. The side of broccoli was cold. The tuna with white beans tasted like they came from cans. The pizza was alright. Avoid this place.
It's easy to see it all around South Beach: everything has gone downhill. It's too bad, just only 5 years ago and everybody was having some fun and some good food. We had lunch here after some lazy shopping on Lincoln Road Mall. First, the service, despite few customers, was rather unattentive and almost unfriendly, probably because of the pressure... More
Had a pizza. Regretted it. It's very touristy. High prices and very bad food and execution. The lady at reception was really good but the server was abrupt and rude. Best thing was leaving.
Great location , amazing food and service ! The pasta and pizzas we tried were to die for! Reasonably priced considering the area that surrounds the restaurant . Recommend ! :)
Delicious food. Good size portions. Priced well. The service is excellent. Edwin was our server and told us about some specials. Since they were out of friend mozzarella sticks ) popular item they gave us 2 free desserts which was about an $20-25 savings. Mark the manager was awesome as he was the one who gave us the free desserts.... More
We sat outside on comfy chairs and both had panninis for lunch. They were fresh tasting, crunchy bread and delicious mozzarella.
Great easy Italian food. Great location and a good place to watch people while dinning. there is always something going on there.

text: NOW OPEN : LORING PASTA BAR Open just 24 hours and we were already facing a 45-minute for a table at the Loring Pasta Bar. But after sitting through months and months of construction ("What are they building that place with, Playskool tools?" an impatient friend once asked me), cooling our heels for three-quarters of an hour was a breeze. And worth the wait. Owner Jason McLean has brought the theatrical whimsy of his Loring Cafe & Bar to Dinkytown with winning results. He's transformed the former Gray's Campus Drugs building into one of the city's most enchanting restaurant spaces, a bar and cafe slathered with a staggering amount of intricate brick and tile work, dominated by an airy two-story dining room. The large menu will appeal to both budget-conscious university students as well as the post-collegiate crowd. Appetizers ($3 to $11) include the Loring's signature artichoke ramekin, several soups and salads and a number of thick-crust pizzas. Entrees range from a dozen pastas ($7 to $13) to six plates ($12 to $13) such as lemon-caper chicken, walleye and braised lamb shank. The wine list is noteworthy for its moderate prices ($5 to $6 per glass, an average of $35 per bottle). Like the original Loring, the Pasta Bar has a heavy emphasis on live music. And like its predecessor, it's wonderfully romantic. I'm told a reservation policy will begin soon. All romance, no waiting. It works for me. Loring Pasta Bar, 327 14th Av. SE., Minneapolis, 612-378-4849. Open 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Saturday, 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday (kitchen closes earlier). -- Rick Nelson

Setting aside his propensity for getting involved in controversies easily avoided - case in point his latest very public dustup with the police union leadership - the priorities outlined by New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio when he met with the editorial board recently are largely on target.
He said the administration and council, having managed to get its budget back in balance during the first two years of his term, must next focus on rebuilding the fund balance, depleted largely by decisions made before Mayor Finizio took office in December 2011.
In their recent assessment of the city, two credit rating agencies noted the lack of an adequate fund balance - the city's rainy day fund - is their greatest concern. Now at about $1.5 million, it needs to get in the area of $7.5 million to provide an adequate cushion.
This will not be an easy challenge for the new council and the mayor, particularly given his second priority - developing a long-term plan for infrastructure improvements in the city. The list of needs is long. The city's buildings are in deplorable shape. Utilities need upgrading. The high school needs replacement or a massive refurbishing, critical to the success of converting to an all-magnet school district as planned, noted the mayor.
Bonding to pay for this needed work, while providing for city services, controlling the tax burden and rebuilding a fund balance is quite the challenge. But Mayor Finizio is right that some of these needs cannot be ignored any longer and, in the long run, will produce savings because of improved energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
Mayor Finizio set as a third priority continuing to do what is necessary to smooth the path for the planned construction of the National Coast Guard Museum on the city's waterfront. As fundraising continues, work can move forward on getting the necessary regulatory approvals at the state and federal levels and mitigating any disputes that might arise. The administration can play a critical role in all of that. The mayor well recognizes that the museum could be a game changer for continued revitalization of the waterfront district.
The mayor should have the opportunity to move his agenda forward. Mayor Finizio expressed optimism that the election left him a council that he can work with. He expects to have a good working relationship with the new council president, veteran Councilor Wade Hyslop.
Speculation is sure to continue as to whether the man Councilor Hyslop displaced as council president - Councilor Michael Passero - will challenge Mayor Finizio for the Democratic nomination two years from now. Councilor Passero makes it no secret he does not feel the mayor has done a good job for the city. We urge both men not to let preparations for a future contest get in the way of effective governing now.
It was good to hear Mayor Finizio say he plans to regularly attend council meetings during the second half of his term, which was not the case during his first two years in office. It can only help the process to have the mayor there ready to address council questions and make the case for legislation his administration may seek.
It is of some concern to hear Mayor Finizio welcome the opportunity to get more work done in closed party caucuses. Members of one party have the legal right to meet and discuss strategies. It has long been part of our two-party system. When not abused, it provides an opportunity for party members to be frank with one another and assess a level of support for pursuing legislation.
However, with Democrats controlling six of seven council seats and the mayor's office, the potential for abuse is great, with all business worked out behind closed doors and passed without debate, keeping the public in the dark. We strongly urge the Democrats not to abuse the power voters have given them.

Be careful
Worst doctor I ever had the misfortune to use. if he starts in office testing (and he will) your test results will indicate a serious problem. He will then proceed to milk your insurance company and you for every available dime, Be very careful with this guy. I rated him a ! star only because I couldn't give him a zero.

The judgments are replete with the findings of dishonesty and mala fides against Major General Ntlemeza. These were judicial pronouncements. They therefore constitute direct evidence that Major General Ntlemeza lacks the requisite honesty, integrity and conscientiousness to occupy the position of any public office, not to mention an office as more important as that of the National Head of the DPCI, where independence, honesty and integrity are paramount to qualities. Currently no appeal lies against the findings of dishonesty and impropriety made by the Court in the judgments. Accordingly, such serious findings of fact in relation to Major General Ntlemeza, which go directly to Major General Ntlemeza's trustworthiness, his honesty and integrity, are definitive. Until such findings are appealed against successfully they shall remain as a lapidary against Lieutenant General Ntlemeza.
The government has been steadfast in its refusal to make public the internal report of the Department of Public Works into the spending of more than R200 million of public funds to upgrade President Jacob Zuma's private home at Nkandla.
Citing "national security" concerns (foreign agents may be interested to know just exactly where that rumoured bunker at Nkandla is situated) the Department argues that the publication of its report would threaten the personal safety of the president. This argument is not plausible, in so far as the particular aspects of the report describing the security measures in place at Nkandla could be redacted from the report before it is made available to the public.
The reluctance to make the report public (sans the specific detailed descriptions of security measures at Nkandla) may therefore have more to do with a fear of embarrassing the president and the government, than with a concern for "national security".
It is therefore not far-fetched to assume that the government would not be eager for a similar (but independent) report by the Public Protector to be made public. But legally, its ability to suppress the report is currently limited. This may change once the Protection of State Information Bill becomes law, but until then the Apartheid-era Protection of Information Act 84 of 1982 remains the applicable legislation and this piece of legislation does not entitle the government to prohibit the publication of the Nkandla Report.
The Constitution allows the Public Protector to investigate any conduct in state affairs, or in the public administration and to "report on that conduct". Section 182(5) of the Constitution further states that:
Any report issued by the Public Protector must be open to the public unless exceptional circumstances, to be determined in terms of national legislation, require that a report be kept confidential.
As the Protection of Information Act of 1982 does not contain any provision that could be read as requiring that the report be kept confidential, it means that the Public Protector will have to publish the report. The National Key Points Act does not contain any provisions requiring a censoring of the report either. In the absence of national legislation that requires a censoring of parts of the Public Protectors Nkandla Report, there is a constitutional duty on the Public Protector to make the entire report public.
Section 8 of the Public Protector Act confirms this constitutional power of the Public Protector to publish any report relating to one of her investigations. Section 8(2) also requires the Public Protector to submit to Parliament half-yearly reports on the findings in respect of investigations of a serious nature if she deems it necessary; or in the public interest; or if it requires the urgent attention of, or an intervention by Parliament.
Furthermore section 8(3) of the Act states that the findings of an investigation by the Public Protector must "be made available to the complainant and to any person implicated thereby".
This means that, until such time as the Secrecy Bill comes into effect, the full report must be handed to those who requested the Public Protector to investigate the matter and the report must also be made available to the public at large.
Two questions arise in this regard.
First, the Report may contain details of the security arrangements at Nkandla. It would obviously be inappropriate to publish details of these security arrangements. However, in the absence of legislation that would require the Public Protector to black out these details in her report before making it public, it is unclear on what legal grounds the full report could be withheld from the public and from those who requested the Public Protector to investigate the matter.
The Public Protector may therefore be in the invidious situation of having a constitutional duty to publish the entire report while not wanting to reveal any details of the security measures currently in place at Nkandla.
Second, the Public Protector must also refer the report to the appropriate bodies tasked with instituting remedial action, if any, recommended by the report. Part of the report will deal with the question of whether the president's statement to Parliament that he and his family paid for all non-security related upgrades at Nkandla was accurate. If this statement were not accurate, this would constitute a breach of the Executive Members Ethics Code.
The Executive Members Ethics Act states that the Public Protector must investigate any alleged breach of the code of ethics and must submit a report about the alleged breach of the code to the President if the complaint is against a Cabinet member. Constitutionally, the President is a cabinet member as well.
But as the Public Protector indicated in a previous report about the failure of President Zuma to declare his financial interests, this section of the Act fails to consider the situation where the president happens to be the Cabinet member who has breached the code of ethics. She recommended at the time that the Act be amended, but this has not been done. There seems to be no legal escape from this constitutional demand.
I would not wish to pre-empt the findings of the Public Protector. However, as the legislation stands now, in the event that the report contains a finding that the president had misled Parliament, she would have to report this fact to the president who would then be required to address a breach of the code of ethics by himself. This would obviously not be a desirable situation.
If this were indeed to be the case, it would probably be appropriate for the Public Protector to refer the report both to the president and to Parliament, with a request that Parliament deal with any alleged breaches of the code of ethics by the President. Parliament chooses the President who is constitutionally accountable to Parliament and can also be removed from office by the National Assembly for either political reasons or because of a serious violation of the Constitution or the law or serious misconduct by the President.
No matter what is contained in the report, it is highly unlikely – for reasons relating to the internal politics of the governing party – that the National Assembly will even consider such drastic steps against the president. But I would contend that these provisions suggests that the National Assembly is permitted to consider and deal with any alleged breaches of the code of ethics by the president that falls short of impeachment.
Of course, it might be that the Public Protector's report exonerate the president, in which case the difficulty pointed out here will not arise. What is clear is that the there is a constitutional duty on the Public Protector to make public her report (or at the very least to make public those aspects of the report that do not reveal the security arrangements at Nkandla).

Forgot to put the lid on the blender, turned it on, and had everything fly out Things Not to Do at Hogwarts!! :) (got this off HermioneLennon's profile - some of these are absolutely hilarious!) 1. Getting everyone in the Great Hall to do the Time Warp (a dance involving the pelvic thrust) will not earn me any House points. 2. I will not hold my wand in the air before casting spells and shout, "I have the power!" 3. "Y'all check this here out!" is not an appropriate way to announce that I am about to perform an experimental spell. 4. It is not necessary to yell, "Burn!" every time Snape takes points from Gryffindor. 5. I will not scare the Arithmancy students with my Calculus book. 6. "To conquer the earth with an army of flying monkeys" is not an appropriate career choice. 7. I will not sing, "We're off to see the wizard!" when sent to the Headmaster's office. 8.

I will not call Professor McGonagall "McGoogles." 20. I will not sing the entire Multiplication Rock series during Arithmancy exams. 21. I will never ask Harry if his scar senses are tingling. 22. I will not attempt to magically animate my marshmallow Peeps. (But how cool would that be??) 23. I will not give Hagrid Pokemon cards and convince him that they are real animals. 24. I will not lock the Slytherins and Gryffindors in a room together and take bets on who will come out alive. 25. I am not allowed to refer to Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott and Justin Finch-Fletchley as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. 26. I am not allowed to introduce Peeves to paintball. 27. I will not, under any circumstances, ask Harry Potter who died and made him boss. 28. "OMGWTF!" is not a spell. 29. I will not follow Potions instructions in reverse order just to see what happens. 30. I am not authorized to negotiate a peace treaty with Voldemort. 31. Calling the Ghostbusters is a cruel joke to play on the resident ghosts and poltergeists. 32. If asked in class about Avada Kedavra, yelling, "It does DEATH!!" may be correct but it is not the manner in which one should answer. 33. I will not refer to the Accio charm as "The Force." 34. I will not tell Professor Trelawney that I foresaw her death. 35. I will not use my socks to make hand puppets of the Slytherin mascot. 36.

I will not shout, "To infinity and beyond!!" when I take off on my broomstick. 49. The song "Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead" is never appropriate - particularly not in reference to Professor Umbridge. 50. I will not refer to Draco Malfoy as "the amazing bouncing ferret." I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday. I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson". I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. We are the couple who had the Realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me. I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male. I am the girl who loves her best friend but is afraid to let her know it. I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them. If you think that Homophobia is wrong and needs to be stopped copy and paste this into your profile. |

Thomas Rhett took on Lawton, and sold out CW Scooters, not just once, but two times on Saturday night!.
While researching the song I stumbled across this video of Rhett and his son Thomas Rhett playing it with a cut-up humorous twist, that will give you the feeling that you are sitting around having a pickin' an grinnin' good time.
If you're like me, you're not very lucky when it comes to drawings and giveaways. I think the biggest thing I ever won in a drawing was a cordless phone, and that was only because every graduating senior in my class won something on our last day of school.
Christine Mercer entered 200 times yesterday for the 'Boots in the Sand' Tropical Night Giveaway, and 300 times the day before. Those points were well worth it, as she and her husband will be heading to the Riviera Maya in February as the 7th winner in the giveaway!
White sandy beaches, crystal blue waters, fine dining, lounge chairs, .......Stetson, and my Cowboy Boots! That's right, I'm bringing Oklahoma to Mexico on this years Boots in the Sand VIP vacation adventure of a lifetime! ...
Thomas Rhett is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the country music arena. Southwest Oklahoma and the city of Lawton are set to host the "Taste of Country Christmas Tour" featuring Rhett on the 9th of November at CW Scooters...
Would you rather spend next February dealing with sleet, snow and cold weather in Upstate New York or enjoying sun, surf and your favorite country stars at Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand in Riviera Maya Mexico?
Thomas Rhett, one of country music's hottest newcomers, has reached the summit this week and scored his first ever #1 single with 'It Goes Like This.'
'Crickets' is a fine way to describe Joe Nichols' new album. The singer aims for a relax-on-the-riverbank vibe with many of the mid-tempo cuts on this project. The album begins and ends with crickets ( literally), and in between it offers a fairly level ride.
The first-ever Tropical Nights country adventure in Riviera Maya, Mexico is truly looking to be a milestone in country music. Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Billy Currington, and Jana Kramer each headline one full night of music during this five-day/four-night vacation adventure in the most beautiful place in the world.

As I reported on last week, NVIDIA's worked hard to port both Portal and Half-Life 2 to its SHIELD handheld, and today, device owners can now purchase either game on the Google Play store.
At the moment, both games support only NVIDIA's SHIELD. Many believed that NVIDIA might be lenient enough to expand the support to all Tegra 4 devices, but not so. It does seem certain, though, that NVIDIA will open the flood gates at some point; at the moment, it's focusing on SHIELD to give people more reason to get one.
The $10 price tag for each game might strike some as a little high, though, as both games have regularly gone for less-than-half of that price at some point on Steam. But I can imagine porting both games to Android wasn't exactly a small affair; NVIDIA's ported two of the most popular PC games of all time to a mobile platform – that's pretty impressive.
For those who'd rather wait for the price to drop, we're not able to guess when that might happen; it'd be up to NVIDIA's discretion. Given the company's knack for promotions, we wouldn't be surprised to see a sale sooner than later.
Nonetheless, I've still been unable to play much of Portal and any of Half-Life 2, but I hope to once things calm down a little bit around here. I am worried that once I start either, I won't want to put the SHIELD down!

Security Security operatives attached to Justice Gabriel Kolawole at the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday prevented Charles Okah, the alleged mastermind of the 2010 Independence Day bombing from committing suicide in court.
Okah, who is standing trial on charges of terrorism, had sought the permission of the judge to speak on what he termed "endless trial", as his counsel was absent in court.
The judge granted the oral application and permitted Okah to speak for about five minutes.
Okah said "I have been incarcerated for about five years now and I have a family to cater for.
"My children would grow up without feeling the warmth of their father and I am tired of this endless trial.
"I really do not know what I have done to be treated this way.
"Is it not better to die than to wait and be messed up this way?" he asked.
Immediately after Okah ended his speech, he grabbed a chair in the court and quickly moved toward a window on third floor of the five-storey building and attempted to jump down.
He was immediately pulled back by security operatives, lawyers and other litigants from embarking on the action.
Consequently, Kolawole adjourned the case to Oct. 20 for continuation of trial.
Others charged in the case are Obi Nwabueze and Edmund Ebuware.
The fourth accused, Tiemkemfa Osuvwo, died in Kuje prison, while Ebuwari has been jailed for life as his case was separately decided.
However, Okah and Nwabueze have been facing long trial as a result of the introduction of numerous injunctions from both the prosecution and defence teams.

Cosplay, short for "costume play," involves wearing a costume in public for fun, typically at a convention or other event. These costumes are often based on characters from Japanese cartoon and video games franchises, since cosplay is especially popular in Japan. It has since grown in Western countries and may also incorporate ideas from other cultures. Costumes tend to be quite extravagant in nature, with individuals opting for eye-catching hair, make-up and clothing.
Other People Are Reading
Sailor Moon
Cosplay costumes could be based around the popular Japanese cartoon series "Sailor Moon,",which has also become a favourite with audiences in the West and spawned a range of merchandise. "Sailor Moon" cosplayers often dress as one of the protagonists in the series, the Sailor Senshis, who wear a distinctive uniform that combines Japanese school fashion with a traditional sailor outfit. Cosplayers might also base their costumes around the villains of the series, such as Queen Beryl.
Many cosplayers enjoy dressing as characters and monsters from the "Pokémon" franchise, which consists of both video games and television shows. In some cases, cosplayers are inspired by the Pokémon themselves, which typically resemble cute or fearsome variations on real world animals. These include Pikachu, an electric mouse, and Charmander, a flame-coloured lizard. Cosplayers can also dress as the human characters from the series, such as Team Rocket, a villainous organisation whose members wear white clothing emboldened with a huge red letter R.
Final Fantasy
A popular source for cosplay costumes is the "Final Fantasy" video game series, which contains over a dozen titles. Both protagonists and antagonists in this series are suitable choices for easily-achieved costumes, since the appearance of "Final Fantasy" characters tends to resemble modern dress with a science-fiction or fantasy edge, featuring tropes such as medieval weaponry. For example, the Aerith Gainsborough character,from "Final Fantasy 7" wears a red and pink dress and carries a staff.
With its enduring popularity all over the world and sheer number of settings and characters, Disney is a rich source of inspiration for cosplay characters. With many cosplayers enjoying costumes based on character types such as princesses and warriors, some gravitate toward Disney staples such as Jasmine from "Aladdin," Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," and Snow White. Cosplayers can also experiment with costumes based on animals and other creatures found in Disney movies.
A staple of Japanese cosplay culture is the maid character, which bears some resemblance to the concept of the Geisha. The maid typically wears a black and white or pink dress, and adopts a servile role in institutions such as maid cafes, which have cropped up in Japanese cities, as described by the Tokyo Top Guide web site.

The lemongrass is vibrant and sweet. This is my favorite scent so far.

Telefunken OB's finished
Hi all,
it's been quite some time since I posted the last time.... Well, my new open baffles are finally finished, the carpenter really took his time...%&"!! This is my interpretation of the theme "transparent baffle", sort of juggling with baffle area and esthetic "impact". They are now 120 cm high and around 60 cm wide, including the wings. The wings are made from 10mm plexi (isn't that lexan over in the US?) and attached with small dowels (?), the baffle itself is 19mm pearwood. To have the possibility to try different drivers and to NOT have holes in the front I came up with a mounting device made from 5mm aluminium that also allows different clamping forces of the driver from zero to destruction . Drivers are the venerable Telefunken 8"ers from 1953 with the big magnet and Saba tweeters. The lower Qt of the Telefunken makes for a slight rollof to the lower regions, but with my closed subwoofer for the bottom bass quality is outstanding...very fast and no booming whatsoever! Sound quality overall truly is the best I ever had....very easy and reveilling, you are sort of looking into the music!! regards, Oliver |

You, good sir, have yourself a fine project there. But you didn't need me to tell you that, did you? I keep wanting to try a proper OB project, but the present room is too small to pull them much more than a foot from the room boundaries. Pity -I love the freedom from all boxiness you get with the dipolar (and bipolar, come to that) sound.

I love your woodwork and the mounting device. I realy would like to hear those beauties. I have also a pair of Open Baffles which are still under development. I use Richard Allan CG8t (1973) or Philips 9710m (1971) drivers. The baffle size is 120cm x 40cm, but I also want to add some wings to the back of the baffle. I have two BR subs which are integrated in the lower part of the Open Baffle and a digital crossover to experiment with the frequencies. Each sub uses two 6.5" drivers. These are just temporary drivers. At what frequency do you cross with the sub and what kind of sub do you use? Low Budget Pat Grt, Patrick |

Hi Patrick,
I only have one sub that I built 4 years ago. It is a closed cabinet of 39 litres using an Alumapro Alchemy 12" as driver. This is an awesome driver with perfect TSP for a closed cabinet. Power comes from a Hypex HS 200 (which is manufactured in your homecountry...). Xover frequency is at around 65Hz, and extends down to 28Hz or so.... Groet, Oliver PS Nice headamp you got there....I am currently building the Morgan Jones! |

Hi Oliver,
nice cap you have in your highpass section. What typ you use for it. I mean the tube. Greetings, Andreas PS: Really wonderfull design and workout. |
17th August 2005, 07:42 PM | #9 |
diyAudio Member
Andreas, Ropie,
the tube on the back acts as vacuum cap, I think its an ECF 80 from Telefunken. To try that was suggested to me by Holger Stein from steinmusic. Although the cap has only a few pF between the plates (?), it audibly improves transient response and resolution of microdetail. Now those vintage Saba tweets have amazing resolution and natural timbre (how I love all those important words... ), short... it sounds bloody good! best regards, Oliver |

Nice work Stixx! The open-baffle army is growing each day!
And it's amazing how many variations on this theme there are! Could you explain this vacuum cap circuit to us a bit more please?
The truth need not be veiled, for it veils itself from the eyes of the ignorant. |

For those who love hand made lace.
I have not heard of "Brussels Point". Quite often lace merchants will make up some name which makes the object sound special. Since Brussels bobbin laces are highly prized, using that word "Brussels" makes the thing sound better. But I am not that knowledgable about tape lace. I assume your question is about a lace with a machine made tape.
Thank you Lorelei,
That's about what I thought. A piece of lace at the Museum was labeled Brussels Point Lace.
I was questioning that identification.
