Some Poetry About God / Love / The World - Enjoy, | |
ElectricKoolaid Offer Upgrade User ID: 27383605 United States 04/17/2013 01:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | @TheWayAndMMA When the future came upon me that afternoon As a light from the darkest corner of the room, I knew suddenly what was happening – Already my mind was alight with reason, filled With the answers of my Being. I looked & beheld the greatest Vision known to Man – That of Heaven on Earth. Of the Veil being pulled aside And great staircases of intellect filled me And the Love of God filled my spirit in such a way That I immediately laughed to Know this sudden thing. A voice said, "Go." And I went. Washing every part of My Self. Bathing in the purity of the Lightness of Being. I asked myself that day, as the water poured upon me, "What is it that I'm doing?" Thousands, thousands of Times I'd bathed, never thinking more of it than what It was. Today, however, it was more. A preparation. The light spilled outward, still full-on brightness, warm & suffocating as a cool Spring wind, pollinated With Everything. Giving you Everything. Breathing in Everything. Three days I stood in that gracious light, Excited at the Beauty of it all. Speaking volumes, Living half-excited, half-mad, fully-Realized; And I'm still there to this day. Even more evolved. More resilient – intelligent – further entering the Mystery of Bliss. Why did it nearly take my life To get here? Why do countless suffer at their own hand, Twisting old & rusted knives deeper into their spirits? I've realized that you can't be shaken, Nor can you shake someone Awake. You can only Love & Hope That the Love will be enough. Relentless. Completely Relentless. What's become of the still moments? I still thrive, the world builds itself into this stressful stage, Everyone clamoring for Meaning, Subjugation, Finger-pointing, Escape… What then of Hope? Where did our sense of Mystery & Belief dissolve? We count our life in minutes, Missing all the moments, Missing all the answers to the questions we burn ourselves out striving for – Captivated by our own opinions – destined already to fail because we rely on God. We rely on faith. We rely on whispers & shadows. On our feet & in our Hearts we know already – the power is within. Why is our God always here with us? We're more than his Creation, We are, in this world, also our Creator. A billet, smothered, Filled with lead & covered in the oil Of the dead. What will all the Madness bring As the world, The Black Swan, Performs at full-dance; Spins & Dives to Death Like waves crashing In upon themselves, The slow evolve Of Destiny. When I speak to God, I'm speaking to my Self. I'm Aware. I hear the rumblings of the Earth. I feel the cold & winding heat that builds within. The stars shoot from my eardrums, like violent waves, Beating upon the air, a swarm of locusts, a crackling flame. Inside of me builds up all the intrigue of discovery, The essence of Knowing while having everything revealed. Increments. Doses. Crescendo. The blips upon a radar – the ever-expiring tips of candlelight. I can smell the mystery of her hair, & her skin expires beneath My touch. The embers of her spirit, hot against me, Pressing out the fury of my spirit. God is with me. With us. This is the mess that unravels with Awakening. The calm before the storm. The light beyond the mist That travels far beyond our senses, pulling us from our slumbers, Asking us for the real Faith it takes to discover Who we are. What we can achieve. When we believe. -- EK |

Two sisters living in London's tough East End… will Jennifer and Kathy be tough enough to survive?Katherine and Jennifer Finch are like chalk and cheese: Katherine is a midwife, dedicating her life to helping others - and Jennifer is a prostitute. Leaving home age 15, Jennifer must learn to live on her wits in London's notorious East End. Soon, however, she is battling drink and drugs, and is pregnant with a child.
Her labour is nearly fatal, but her sister steps in to save the day. Kathy continues to tend to the poor of the East End and help her sister - and she of all people knows that the society that Jennifer keeps is damaging her. Despite her best intentions, however, she begins to fall for an East End wide boy. She knows that he is no good, but her heart will not listen to her head - and what's more, he has promised to change for her...

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Won't buy this author again--foul language."
Not from Kay Brelland. Annie is a fairly good narrator. Would listen to her again.
All the F-bombs & other bad language. Also didn't like the disgusting situations.
Fairly decent at it.
All the nasty language. Also would tone down the cheating &lying. Gets depressing.Wife beatings too.
I'm not sure if I'll finish it. Will probably ask for my money back. Much prefer Ellie Dean & Donna Douglas.
"Loved it"
Really enjoyed this book heart warming as well as sad ... But have to say Annie Aldington is unbelievable, I am purposely looking out for book with Annie narrating she is soooo good . X
"great listen"
excelent as normal. need to find another now. cant switch the stories off so finish them too quick
"Easy listen"
Great listen all the better because it was narrated by Annie Aldington.
Good twist at the end really enjoyed it

Message from Head of Department (HoD)
Congratulations on your excellent decision on being a part of the National University of Singapore (NUS). I warmly welcome you to the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME). ME@NUS is ranked 13th in the world (based on latest QS Rankings), hence you can be assured of a quality education comparable to the best in the world and be proud of your mechanical engineering degree when you graduate.
Being the most diverse and versatile of the engineering disciplines, the NUS Mechanical Engineering degree gives you a wide range of career possibilities – aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, robotics and even biomedical technology, among others – your future with NUS ME is endless.
Our goal is to provide you with an enriching and holistic learning experience, with elective options from other engineering disciplines and other faculties within NUS, so that you will become a well-rounded professional.
If you would like to further pursue your area of interest, we offer three optional specialisations. Upon successful completion, you will receive a Certificate of Specialisation, in addition to your B.Eng. (ME) degree – this versatility will give you options to pursue careers in many fields, in addition to those related specifically to the specialisation. These specialisations are:
Aeronautical Engineering
You learn advanced concepts of flight, structures, propulsion and control, and apply these in our state-of-the-art laboratories with extensive testing facilities. You also benefit from the launch of the Centre for Aerospace Engineering (CAE) in 2013, which partners DSO National Laboratories, SIA Engineering and ST Aerospace for aerospace-focused research and education. Experts from the industry will deliver lectures and offer internships, design projects and final-year projects to NUS ME students. Our recent partnership with AIRBUS will provide you with opportunities in internships in a global aerospace company.
Energy and Sustainability
Renewable energy and energy efficiency are central to a sustainable future. You will be equipped with advanced interdisciplinary skills required to analyse, design, optimise and evaluate the technical and economic viability of energy systems. You learn about traditional and alternative energy sources, as well as the science and technology of energy conversion and storage, all within the broader context of energy management, sustainability and security. You have opportunities to put your knowledge into practice across a range of scales and systems as diverse as cooling in electronics to vehicles, buildings, desalination plants, and even entire smart and green cities.
Offshore Oil & Gas Technology
Another specialisation is in Offshore Oil & Gas Technology. In Singapore, the oil and gas sector continues to enjoy steady and robust growth. Six of the top ten international oilfield equipment manufacturers have established their Asian manufacturing base in Singapore, and there are about 100 oil & gas equipment and services companies here. The demand for mechanical engineers in this sector is so strong that many companies are offering attractive scholarships to students taking this specialisation with the view of recruiting them upon graduation.
NUS is currently the only university offering a degree specialisation in Offshore Oil & Gas Technology in Singapore.

What is Peer-to-Peer Fundraising?
Peer-to-peer fundraising makes use of existing donors' connections to raise money for an event or cause. Donors reach out to their friends and family and ask for donations on a nonprofit's behalf.
Salsa's peer-to-peer platform allows nonprofits' fundraisers to create their own donation pages to send to friends and family members via email and social media websites.
Their donation pages will still be branded with the organization's template, but each one can be personalized by individual fundraisers.
Booster is a unique peer-to-peer fundraising platform that primarily focuses on helping nonprofit organizations sell merchandise (mainly t-shirts) to their fundraisers and participants.
Organizations don't have to purchase any of the products upfront, and Booster handles all of the inventory, making fundraising easy.
Fundly is a crowdfunding platform for individuals that also offers a peer-to-peer fundraising platform for nonprofit. Charities can accept donations and enable fundraisers to form "teams."
Fundly also offers an optional VIP package that comes with onboarding webinars, goal-setting analysis, marketing and fundraising strategies, and more!
Qgiv's peer-to-peer platform, Hobnob, allows nonprofits to create beautiful campaign pages and give their supporters the tools they need to fundraise on the organization's behalf.
Qgiv also enables charities to sell custom merchandise directly on the campaign page, making it easy for donors to show their support of the nonprofit's cause.
With peer-to-peer fundraising, your nonprofit better gets to know the supporters who are part of your fundraising team. While they're still technically your donors, they also take on a new role in your organization, strengthening your nonprofit's relationship with them.
It's easier and more natural to raise money and expand your donor base when you already have a mutual connection with your prospects. (i.e., your existing donors). Peer-to-peer fundraising helps facilitate this organic fundraising process.
Fundraising, in all of its forms, costs your organization something. Peer-to-peer fundraising helps minimize costs by putting your donors in the fundraising driver's seat. When you send your supporters out to raise money on your behalf, your organization saves money.
Donors get to control how involved they want to be when you invite them to be a part of your peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. When donors can engage with your nonprofit in the ways they prefer, they'll be more invested in your organization and your cause.
With peer-to-peer fundraising, donors get to champion a project or cause they really care about and spread the word among their friends, family members, and coworkers. Instead of talking about the latest celebrity gossip, supporters can promote your cause and mission.
Most of your donors will have never participated in the fundraising side of asking for donations. They've given to noble causes, but they probably haven't raised money for one. Peer-to-peer fundraising allows them to catch a glimpse of the other side of the fundraising curtain.
Time-based peer-to-peer fundraisers are pretty self-explanatory.
They take place within a specific timeframe and typically last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a year.
Time-based peer-to-peer fundraisers are usually tied to events that are already scheduled (think: annual walkathon or 5K). Participants will then raise money from the starting date of the campaign until the day of the event.
Rolling peer-to-peer campaigns are a bit more general than time-based campaigns.
They can be tied to a fundraising event, but that's not always the case. They can be general fundraising efforts on their own.
Either way, rolling peer-to-peer fundraisers are continual fundraising efforts that a nonprofit hosts until a monetary goal is reached.
Peer-to-peer giving days are a new type of peer-to-peer fundraiser that is steadily gaining attention and popularity.
They are essentially condensed versions of time-based campaigns. They challenge donors to raise as much money as they can or reach a certain goal in 24 hours or less.
These giving days can be very exciting, and donors can easily get caught up in trying to raise a lot of money for a worthy cause.
While any nonprofit can launch a peer-to-peer campaign, some are more ready than others. Make sure you have a goal in mind and a core base of donors that you can easily recruit to fundraise on your behalf.
You won't get very far with a peer-to-peer campaign if you don't have a group of fundraisers pulled from your donor pool. Gauge interest by asking your volunteers, donors, and members if they'd like to participate.
You'll need to establish "point people" both within your organization and among your fundraisers. These people will be responsible for asking for donations, planning the P2P event, and acknowledging donors, so make sure they're stellar.
Since many peer-to-peer campaigns are tied to events, they often have corresponding merchandise that participants can buy in addition to their donations. Determine whether or not your event needs merchandise and plan accordingly.
It's crucial to find a peer-to-peer fundraising platform that works for both your organization and your donors. Some platforms are better suited for individual fundraising, while others are built specifically for nonprofits. Make sure you pay attention to the setup costs and transaction fees, as well.
If you are running a time-based campaign, your peer-to-peer campaign is likely tied to an event. If that's the case, make sure that your participants know the time and location of the event as well as any other details. Some peer-to-peer platforms even have built in signup sheets for these events.
Peer-to-peer fundraisers tend to work best when paired with active group events.
Most people think of walkathons or marathons, but there are so many other ways to incorporate peer-to-peer fundraising into your next event.
Here are six of the most common peer-to-peer fundraising events that you could host!
Crowdfunding is essentially peer-to-peer fundraising on an individual scale. People or families use crowdfunding sites to raise money for entrepreneurial endeavors, medical expenses, life events, and more.
Individuals or families keep all of the money they raise (minus platform and credit card fees). The cause in question is chosen by the individual.
Peer-to-peer fundraising is usually employed by nonprofit organizations, schools, or churches. An organization gives its members or supporters the tools they need to raise money on behalf of the organization itself.
The cause or project that supporters are fundraising for is determined by the nonprofit. These supporters do not keep any of the funds they raise.
Every year, the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Denver, Colorado, raise money and host a cycling event called Ride the Rockies.
In the past, without a peer-to-peer fundraising platform, they raised an average of $20,000.
But, when they switched to using a peer-to-peer platform, they saw a massive increase in their fundraising results. They ended up raising over $100,000 during their last event.
The Austin Habitat for Humanity's 5th Annual Home Build is raising $25,000 with a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign.
So far, they've raised nearly $17,000, but they still have over a month to reach their goal!
They've got five different teams that are all fundraising on their behalf. Their campaign also has giving levels that demonstrate what different amounts will help the nonprofit buy.
Your peer-to-peer fundraiser needs to stand out from the crowd and rise above the noise of other campaigns.
The easiest way to do this is to flex your creative muscles and make your campaign as unique as possible.
Find a platform that can be easily customized to your campaign's particular needs and your donors' preferences. Your organization is like no other; why should your campaign be like everyone else's?
The best way to gain a large peer-to-peer fundraising following is to tell a heartwarming story.
Your donors want to hear about the good that your organization is doing; telling them a story can do that!
If you're trying to raise money for a particular person, family, or community, tell their story in your peer-to-peer campaign materials. The emotional tie will encourage people to give to the campaign.
Your existing donor base is the best place to start when recruiting fundraisers to ask for donations on your behalf.
However, the supporters you choose should have a strong connection to your organization and cause.
Usually, your fundraisers will have given to and volunteered with your nonprofit in the recent past. These supporters can also be some of your biggest advocates or social media influences.
In all likelihood, most of your donors won't be extremely experienced with fundraising.
Therefore, it's your nonprofit's job to provide them with the support and training that will help them be successful fundraisers.
This support might include email and social media templates, training videos, meetings for your local fundraisers, and a way to get in touch with your organization.
Your donors are committed to helping your organization achieve its fundraising goals.
In return, your nonprofit should recognize and acknowledge those supporters who meet and exceed the expectations.
You should send personalized thank-yous to every fundraiser, but you can also publicly acknowledge them during your event.
As with any other fundraising effort, you should keep track of your P2P campaign's metrics.
It's crucial to measure and report your key performance indicators during and after the campaign.
Make sure that you keep an eye on your retention and acquisition numbers as well as overall donor involvement and engagement.
Email is one of the most common ways that you and your supporters can promote your peer-to-peer fundraiser.
Since nearly everyone has at least one email address (if not two or three!), your nonprofit can easily spread the word and ask for more donations.
These emails should succinctly explain why your organization is raising money and why the recipient should give to your peer-to-peer campaign. They should also include photos and links to your peer-to-peer fundraising page.
Make sure that your supporters have email templates that they can customize when they send them to their friends and family members.
Social media, when used correctly, can be one of the most powerful peer-to-peer fundraising tools at your disposal.
Many of your donors will be on one, if not a few, social media sites, making it the perfect avenue for promoting your peer-to-peer fundraiser.
Social media is one of the fastest ways to share, and it's the platform that can grow your reach the most. Many people have hundreds, if not thousands, of people they're connected to on social media.
Encourage your supporters to share the link to your peer-to-peer donation page on their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feeds.
Since peer-to-peer fundraising primarily takes place online, direct mail might seem like an irrelevant way to promote your campaign.
However, direct mail recipients donate online too! Include the URL to your peer-to-peer donation page in your letters, pamphlets, and cards.
Oftentimes, some good, old-fashioned word-of-mouth marketing can help your peer-to-peer fundraiser reach more supporters.
This type of promotion often happens organically; your supporters will naturally want to talk about your great campaign!
Fundraising Thermometers
Fundraising thermometers are tools that your nonprofit can use to track your fundraising progress as it relates to your financial goal.
Fundraising thermometers look like real thermometers, but they're featured on your donation page!
As people donate to your campaign, the "temperature" on the fundraising thermometer rises, showing that you're getting closer to your fundraising goal.
Merchandise, when used as a fundraising incentive, can be an excellent way to gamify your peer-to-peer fundraising campaign.
As fundraisers hit fundraising goals, they can be eligible to receive perks like t-shirts, water bottles, and more!
For instance, if a fundraiser recruits 10 donors for your campaign, they can receive a branded t-shirt that demonstrates their participation in your campaign.
Leaderboards are visual displays that show your fundraisers' peer-to-peer progress. They typically show how much each person has raised and updates in real time.
Leaderboards can help to make the fundraising process feel like a game. Fundraisers (especially competitive ones!) will all be vying for the top spot as the weeks go by.
You can send out weekly updates to your fundraisers to let them know everyone's current position on the leaderboard. You can raise the stakes even more by offering an ultimate prize to whoever has the number 1 spot a the end of the campaign.
Fundraising Badges
Fundraising badges are features that some peer-to-peer platforms include to reward fundraisers for reaching important peer-to-peer milestones or achieving accomplishments.
Common fundraising badges include "Recruited 10 Donors," "Raised [Insert Amount]," "Sent Out 5 Fundraising Emails," and "Shared Campaign on Social Media."
Fundraisers display these badges on their individual campaign pages for everyone to see. When you prepare your fundraisers for your peer-to-peer campaign, tell them that they should strive to get as many fundraising badges as they can!
Because peer-to-peer campaigns rely on your donors to ask their friends and family members for donations on your behalf, it's a very personal fundraising effort.
This means two things:
Some nonprofits will highlight a particularly heartwarming story to emotionally appeal to supporters. This story should be focused on someone that your nonprofit has helped or a community that has benefited from your services.
You and your supporters can use storytelling to boost your fundraising efforts and get the word out about your mission and cause.
Ask your donors to tell their personal stories to provide donors with an emotional tie to your fundraiser. You can also tell a heartwarming story to encourage others to donate to your peer-to-peer campaign.
Peer-to-peer fundraising is not often thought of in conjunction with matching gifts, but the two can actually be paired quite nicely!
Matching gifts are a type of corporate giving program that reward employees who donate to nonprofits. Companies will match donations (usually at a 1:1 ratio) up to a certain amount per employee, per year.
Some companies also have fundraising matches. These types of programs are similar to matching gifts in that they double the amount of fundraising revenue your nonprofit receives.
However, they are different in that the company will match any donations that your peer-to-peer supporter makes to your nonprofit as well as any funds that they raise from their friends, family members, coworkers, and peers.
Make sure that you promote matching gifts and fundraising matches to your peer-to-peer fundraisers as they ask for donations. Their friends and family members might be more inclined to make contributions if they know that their donations will be doubled.
Make sure that you promote matching gifts and fundraising matches to your peer-to-peer fundraisers as they ask for donations. Their friends and family members might be more inclined to make contributions if they know that their donations will be doubled.
Retaining peer-to-peer donors can be tricky. Luckily we've got the resource you need! Check out this article to learn how you can keep P2P donors in your donor pool.
If your nonprofit is ready to start your peer-to-peer campaign, look through this list of peer-to-peer platforms to find the one that works for your organization!
The most obvious benefit of peer-to-peer fundraising is that it builds on your existing donor relationships and expands your donor base.
Using social media to promote your event or fundraising effort is a great way to reach your guests without blasting them with too many emails.
Making your cause a centerpiece of your event will not only raise awareness, but may also educate participants and inspire them to become regular donors.
For the donors and volunteers who are passionate about your cause, a peer-to-peer campaign is their chance to educate their peers. When they ask for donations, your fundraisers can explain why your cause or mission is worth supporting and why they are so passionate about it.

The outdated wedding ceremony costume is such a big costume with many skirt and massive model just like the queen's dress. But continously, it develops. Nowadays, there are plenty of fashions, comparable to the wedding costume that makes use of veil, with small veil or even the massive and long veil. And the luxurious one is the wedding costume with a really long tail just like the British Queen wore when the acquired married, just like Girl Diana and Kate Middleton wore.

Researchers are uncovering new insights about the early stages of life for several Puget Sound fishes.
From preservation processes to cutting-edge research—the Burke Museum fish collection is a fascinating place to visit!
This collection is comprised of roughly 2.4 million pairs of fish otoliths, representing 83 species in 41 genera and 17 families.
The Burke's Ichthyology Collection includes more than 11 million specimens, including adults, juveniles, larvae, eggs, skeletons, tissues, otoliths and scales. Roughly 98% of the Ichthyology Collection is cataloged, databased and available to search.
Ted Pietsch retired in July after 37 years as Burke Museum curator of fishes and professor in the UW School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences.
In total, 253 fish species have been recorded in the Salish Sea, and that's about 14 percent more than in the last count.
You thought you had a quirky feature? You've got nothing on these fish!
That's a face only a mother could love!… Or maybe a scientist.

Abstract The physical, chemical and functional properties of starch isolated from corn grown in Alberta, predominantly flint, and dent corn grown in Ontario and U.S.A. were evaluated. Starch isolated from Alberta-grown potato was used for comparison. Starch from Alberta corn had the smallest amylose content. It also exhibited slightly lower gelatinization temperatures and enthalpy of gelatinization. Amylose content positively influenced enthalpy of gelatinization and syneresis at 4°C, and negatively affected syneresis at −15°C and water binding capacity. Starches from the three locations were similar in their susceptibility to α-amylase hydrolysis, measured by the release of soluble carbohydrate, and under scanning electron microscopy. Potato starch had different properties from the corn starches.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. and ZURICH – February 15, 2016 – Direct Flow Medical, Inc., a medical device company developing and commercializing transcatheter heart valve therapy products to treat structural heart disease, announced its transcatheter mitral valve development program today at the 2nd Annual Zurich Heart Team Mitral Valve meeting by featuring the Direct Flow Medical Transcatheter Mitral Valve in a preclinical case presentation.
The Direct Flow Medical Transcatheter Mitral Valve is built upon the proven conformable, repositionable, and retrievable Direct Flow Medical Transcatheter Aortic Valve with more than 2,500 implants and excellent published clinical results including low rates of paravalvular leak, pacemaker implant, and mortality. The mitral-specific valve design features low atrial profile, low ventricular projection, and unique conformable sealing and fixation rings for the complex mitral annulus.
Dr. Azeem Latib, San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, presented preclinical results demonstrating transapical implant feasibility. Dr. Latib noted, "The valve's unique conformable ring design is ideally suited for the complex shape of the mitral annulus." He said, "Implanting this valve was similar to implanting the Direct Flow Medical Transcatheter Aortic Valve as I had total procedural control and performed a full hemodynamic assessment prior to deployment."
Dan Lemaitre, Direct Flow Medical President and CEO, stated, "Today's case is an important milestone in developing and commercializing a mitral-specific transcatheter valve built upon our universal valve design platform." He further commented, "Direct Flow Medical was initially founded as a transcatheter mitral valve company. Much of our preclinical testing is completed and we are hopeful that we will achieve a Q4 2016 first-in-man implant objective."

Ciena Transforms Metro Networks into Programmable 'On-Demand' Platforms
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 17 June 2014 Release date- 10062014 - HANOVER, Md. - Combining the best technologies from both data center networks and metro networks, Ciena (NYSE: CIEN), the network specialist, is introducing its programmable 8700 Packetwave Platform, a multi-terabit switching solution that will transform how metro and inter-data center networks are designed, deployed, and operated.
Coupling high-capacity Ethernet switching with intelligent coherent optics and an open software paradigm, this new platform will enable network operators to scale their networks in support of 'on-demand' applications such as cloud services, streaming video, and content distribution which continue to drive demand for 10GbE/100GbE services.
The 8700 represents the first in what Ciena believes will be a new class of networking product to help network operators rapidly deliver high-capacity services, efficiently aggregate users, and provide express connections to data centers. The platform seamlessly integrates 100GbE and 10GbE packet aggregation and switching, taking advantage of the performance and efficiency of modern merchant silicon, with Ciena's industry-leading 100G WaveLogic coherent optics and photonic technologies. The result is a system that significantly reduces capital and operational expenses, carrying up to twice the density and requiring only half the power and space when compared to alternative approaches, while also simplifying training and services management.
The 8700 supports the industry's drive toward software-defined and virtualized networks and carries the attributes of Ciena's OPn architecture into metropolitan, regional, and inter-data center WAN networks. OPn metro networks built using the 8700 will equip network operators with the ability to capitalize on the benefits of programmable, virtualized networking platforms while providing unmatched quantity and quality of bandwidth to the network edge.
Key Facts: According to the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), Ethernet is the fastest growing service segment and is projected to generate more than US$ 40B in global revenue by 2015. In addition, the cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) market will be $8.2 B worldwide in 2015 and growing 38 percent per year, according to 451 Research.
Ciena's 8700 integrates Ethernet and MPLS-TP switching with Ciena's WaveLogic Photonics into a single, scalable platform that enables simpler, more cost-effective networks without stranding switch capacity. It leverages Ciena's Service-Aware Operating System, OneControl Unified Management System, and SLA portal allowing customers to seamlessly manage an entire portfolio of Ciena solutions and network services - from edge to core. The 8700 can also be deployed in conjunction with Ciena's V-WAN software to give customers performance-on-demand cloud service connectivity.
Taking the best of both data center and metro technologies, the 8700 is purpose-built and optimized to handle the bandwidth created by the on-demand world of cloud computing, streaming video, content distribution, and content creation. The 8700 supports the following applications: High-capacity 10GbE to 100GbE Ethernet aggregation and switching over DWDM applications to support reliable and secure high-bandwidth services.
Packet applications including MPLS-TP, G.8032 Ethernet rings, and IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) for more resilient and scalable architectures.
40GbE/100GbE service demarcation support for differentiated MEF 2.0 compliant services.
Automated virtual cross-connect, enabling exchange operators to offer enterprise customers on-demand direct connectivity to cloud providers and network operators with collocated PoPs to greatly reducing cross-connect provisioning time to just minutes.
Ciena's 8700 Packetwave Platform will be generally available in the summer of 2014. The platform has garnered significant traction with several leading service providers and network operators across the globe, including Fibertech Networks.
More than 250 network operators rely on Ciena's packet networking portfolio to deliver the programmable and responsive bandwidth that their customers demand. With more than 500,000 devices deployed world-wide, Ciena's packet networking portfolio equips providers with greater speed - not just in terms of growing bandwidth, but also speed throughout the entire service life-cycle to address key challenges such as improving service turn-up and reducing overall customer churn.
Industry Comments: '10GbE is a major force, and 100GbE is upticking its long term growth curve in metro networks. We believe Ciena's new 8700 Packetwave Platform hits a clear design point for handling the nexus of 10G/100G Ethernet aggregation onto DWDM. Since it is the first product of its kind to combine leading optics with scalable, programmable Ethernet switching, we expect that service providers will want to consider the platform for tackling the growing complexity of router-based networks, while at the same time addressing the need to cut power and space costs.' Michael Howard, Principal Analyst & Co-Founder, Infonetics Executive Comments: 'The metro network is the new battleground and we are taking the best of the data center with the best of the metro to create a new, disruptive market opportunity and set the benchmark for metro core network builds. Our 8700 Packetwave Platform builds on our established leadership in packet networking, leveraging the convergence of carrier-grade packet switching and aggregation along with coherent optical networking and programmability to help transform metro networks into 'on-demand' platforms that can provide greater customization of communication services and applications.' Francois Locoh-Donou, Senior Vice President, Global Products Group, Ciena Upcoming Events: On June 12 at 11 a.m. ET, Ciena will host a webinar to discuss its new 8700 Packetwave Platform capabilities. The webinar will feature Ciena's Francois Locoh-Donou, senior vice president, global products group; along with Ray Mota, Ph.D., managing partner and founder of ACG Research and Eric Hanselman, chief analyst from 451 Research.

I get tired of all the period pieces about wealthy, powerful people. But I am sure I'll see Duchess eventually anyway.
Sorry to hear you were disappointed Victor.
But confidentially, Wolfy, we are keeping on eye on China waiting for them to move against Taiwan.
We don't know whether to wait and see what the outcome is, or to follow suit at the same time.
Of course it would be completely unexpected and we would have the advantage of surprise.
I mean, look Wolfy, even you don't believe me right now. And if you told anyone, they wouldn't believe you either.
So we bide our time, lulling you into a false sense of security.
But here we are - here we are Wolfy - just waiting to lunge across the Tasman.
And of course, Wolfy, we are looking for compradores among bright young Kiwis like yourself.
This could be an opportunity - the sky's the limit!
Wolfy is a New Zealander? Me too! Hooray for New Zealand ISFPs that like The Clash.
Victor, in your dreams buddy. I've no doubt you Aussies would love us to infuse a bit of culture and class into your country but it ain't happening on our watch. Little do you know we are infiltrating your country to enable a rapid counter offensive, our base of operations being the Bondi centrelink.
Manuka Honey is the best.
I love this movie, and in particular, this excerpt:
[YOUTUBE="OYeL3fowrHg"]The Kentucky Fried Movie[/YOUTUBE]
So Victor, can you recommend any good Australian movies that we could rent from Netflicks?

Symantec Code Signing Certificates for
Microsoft Authenticode (Multi-Purpose)
For developers and software publishers of active content, code signing reduces error messages and builds trust
in your reputation. Symantec Code Signing Certificates for Microsoft Authenticode authenticate your identity and validate code integrity.
- Supports Microsoft Silverlight® 4 applications
- Digitally sign 32-bit and 64-bit user-mode (.exe, .cab, .dll, .ocx, .msi,.xpi and .xap files) and 32-bit / 64-bit Kernel-mode software
- Show customers that your code and content is safe to download.
- Protect your brand and your reputation with a trusted digital signature
- Reduce the cost of maintaining code with a free timestamp
Digital Shrink Wrap to Protect Your Brand
Symantec Code Signing Certificates provide a virtual "shrink wrap" for secure delivery of content over the Internet. When customers download software signed with Authenticode Technology and verified by Symantec, they can be assured of the content source and the content integrity. Code Signing adds a level of trust to your applications and makes them harder to falsify or damage, protecting your brand and your intellectual property.
Increase Customer Confidence with Fewer Security Warnings
When Internet Explorer, Exchange, Outlook, or other Microsoft programs encounter unsigned executables, a security warning disrupts the user or content simply fails to load. To prevent disruption, publishers who use ActiveX controls, plug-ins and other executables should sign their code using Authenticode Technology and a Symantec Code Signing Certificate for Microsoft Authenticode.
Make the Most of Your Symantec Code Signing Investment
With Symantec Code Signing Certificates, developers select a platform, a validity period and install the certificate on their desktop or a portable device such as a USB drive. A timestamp option shows when code was signed, allowing customers to verify that the Code Signing Certificate was valid at the time of the digital signature. Symantec is a trusted provider of digital certificates for Microsoft Windows Logo programs.
Symantec Is The Leader in Online Trust and Security
Symantec supports more platforms than any other code signing provider with the most reliable infrastructure and the most trusted security brand on the Internet (Tec-Ed Whitepaper, PDF, Oct. 2007). Because Symantec Root Certificates come pre-installed on most end users' devices and embedded in most applications, the digital signature authentication and verification process is seamless and transparent to most end users.
A Symantec Code Signing Certificate generates a digital signature that provides authentication of the code source and assurance of code integrity. Increasingly, operating systems, software applications, devices, and mobile networks require a digital signature to ensure that the code will not harm or interrupt services.
How Symantec Code Signing Certificates Work
With a Symantec Code Signing Certificate, the developer signs all code with the same digital signature using public key cryptography.
- A developer or software publisher uses a Code Signing Certificate to add a digital signature to code or content using a unique private key.
- The content is uploaded to a website or mobile network or otherwise made available for download.
- When a user downloads or encounters the code, the user's system software or application uses a public key to decrypt the signature.
- By comparing the hash used to sign the application against the hash on the downloaded application, the system determines whether to warn the end user, not allow the download, or allow the download without interruption (depending on the platform, application, and client security settings).
Different software platforms have different requirements and different tools for signing code.
Symantec offers Code Signing Certificates for:
Root Certificates: Why Your CA Matters
When software decrypts the digital signature, it looks for a "root" certificate, the source of the identity information. A self-signed digital certificate means that you own your own Root Certificate and are vouching for your own identity, kind of like using a homemade photo ID. In most cases, your Root Certificate will not be available to third party software and devices, and a warning message will appear.
When you enroll for a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA), the CA authenticates your identity and provides a certificate that is chained to its Root Certificate. If the software or device trusts the provider of your Root Certificate (CA), it trusts you.
Symantec is the most trusted security brand on the Internet (Tec-Ed Whitepaper, PDF, Oct. 2007) and we support more development platforms than any other code signing provider. Symantec uses a robust and time-tested authentication and validation process, recognized worldwide. Before issuing a digital certificate with your full organizational name and your public key, Symantec validates the existence of the organization with third party sources and your authority to request a certificate on the organization's behalf.
Symantec Code Signing Enrollment Process
Symantec Certificate Center allows you to buy, renew, and manage all your certificates with a single sign-in:
- Select certificate options and a validity period.
- Enter required contact information.
- Enter certificate information (choose the default if you are not sure), create a backup and follow instructions.
- Enter organization and billing information.
- Create a Symantec Certificate Center account or sign in to an existing account.
- Pick up your certificate in Symantec Certificate Center after Symantec completes authentication.
NOTE: You must buy and retrieve your Symantec Code Signing Certificate from the same computer. Problems? Confirm that you are using the same computer, browser, and log-in profile used to enroll.
Your Symantec Code Signing Certificate contains your full organizational name and your public key. It can be used to digitally sign code and content during the certificate validity period.

As Saint Saviour Becky Jones has trodden an unconventional and uncompromising path towards artistic salvation. It hasnt always been easy. Its a story that stretches from the workhouses of Dickensian London to the arena house concerts across the globe. But throughout it all and with her spectral and hypnotic debut album she may just have emerged as one of the defining solo artists of her time.Perhaps best known until now as co-writer and de facto front woman for Groove Armada Stockton-on-Tees born Jones took her traditional music background and harnessed it to a burgeoning love of electro and production skills inspired by the works of Factory Records and the seminal producer Martin Hannett. Uniquely crowd-funded through Pledge Music Union has one foot in the proud lineage of female electric pioneers like MIA and Robyn the other pulling along the line of classic songwriting like Scott Walker and Carole King. It is by turns bewitching challenging and delightful as Beckys dancing soprano twists and turns around a collection of songs both electronic and organic entirely written A&Red produced and performed by herself.While she has always vowed to never write from a personal romantic perspective the music is unquestionably raw and keenly felt. I never ever write about my own experience my family life or relationships. Im not really interested in badgering on about my own life Id rather write about daydreams and the news stuff thats important rather than being self-indulgent.

What is AA?
Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking problem. It is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements, no dues or fees, and AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her drinking problem.
AA Preamble
The Preamble was introduced in the June 1947 issue of the AA Grapevine magazine and borrows much of its phrasing from the Foreword to the original edition of the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous.
12 Steps
AA's Twelve Steps are a group of principles, spiritual in their nature, which, if practiced as a way of life, can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happily and usefully whole.
12 Traditions
AA's Twelve Traditions apply to the life of the Fellowship itself. They outline the means by which AA maintains its unity and relates itself to the world about it, the way it lives and grows.
Worried About Your Drinking?
If you are concerned about your drinking, Alcoholics Anonymous is here to help. Call the 24-Hour Portland AA Hotline at (503) 223-8569 to talk to someone, or continue reading to learn more about the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The city's well-meaning traffic geeks have concocted a good plan, implemented it in a slipshod way, and in so doing, have made a neighborhood street more dangerous than before.
In May, the city's Department of Transportation converted Carlton Avenue, between Park and Myrtle avenues, from a one-way speedway into a two-way speedway, with a 20-foot-wide wide, white-painted median down the middle.
The idea, according to a press release, was to "reduce speeding on Carlton Avenue." That same 2006 press release promised that the painted median would be replaced by a concrete one, which would prevent cars from driving down the middle of the street, and would allow for an additional two lanes of parallel parking.
For some reason, that part of the plan has never been fully implemented. And now, a full year after the city's triumphant press release, the block is more dangerous. Pedestrians, rather than having to negotiate drivers racing in one direction, must now navigate cars racing in two.
"We still get the speeders, particularly in the rush hours," said Robert Poles, who lives midway down the avenue. "We see no slowing down of traffic."
As a car zipped down the supposedly no-go painted median to avoid a red, double-parked van, Poles pointed out the obvious: "They're not paying any attention to the street markings."
That a two-way racetrack should be more perilous than a one-way should come as little surprise to wonks over at the Department of Transportation, which argued earlier this year in Park Slope that a one-way Seventh Avenue would be safer.
Of course, if the city would follow through on its comprehensive traffic-calming measures, which included a cement median down the center, it would make good on its promise to create two one-lane streets. That would surely slow down traffic and make impossible the kind of high-speed maneuvering evident last week on Carlton Avenue.
But the city told The Stoop it had no imminent plans for the completion of the median. And so, alas, another good idea ruined by bureaucratic shortcomings.
"We have hundreds of signatures on a petition," said Poles. "If it doesn't work, we plan to take it to the courts."
The city has stopped work for the third time on the skyscraper at 163 Washington Ave., near Myrtle Avenue. The Buildings Department cited the developer's failure "to provide protection at …
the excavated site." It remains to be seen whether the contractor can get a foundation in the ground before the planned downzoning of the neighborhood in July, when such 18-story buildings would become illegal. …
Despite rumors, the Brooklyn Steppers are not being kicked out of their Ashland Place digs by their BAM landlords. "We see BAM as a partner," said Tyrone Brown, founder of the Southern Collegiate–style marching band program. …
For what it's worth, the Myrtle Avenue Restoration Project board supports the mayor's congestion pricing plan — as long as the mayor commits to residential parking permits.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a test to look inside the lower part of your large bowel. You can find the following information
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a test that looks inside the lower part of your large bowel. It is also called bowel scope or flexisig. You usually have this test in the endoscopy unit of the hospital. The test itself only takes between 5 and 15 minutes, but you should expect to be at the hospital for up to 2 hours.
Before a flexible sigmoidoscopy
Your lower bowel needs to be empty to have this test. So you may be sent a small enema to have at home. Or you may have it when you get to the hospital. After the enema, you can't eat or drink until after the sigmoidoscopy. Some hospitals may let you drink clear fluids (such as water and black tea or coffee) before the test.
Instead of an enema, you may need to drink a liquid bowel preparation (laxative) and follow a special diet for a couple of days before the test. The hospital will tell you what you have to do.
Having a flexible sigmoidoscopy
You lie on your left side with your knees bent. A nurse or doctor puts a flexible tube called a colonoscope into your back passage and up into the lower part of your large bowel. They put a small amount of gas into your bowel so that it is easier to see the bowel lining.
The nurse or doctor can take photographs of the bowel lining and samples of tissue (biopsies). They may remove any growths in the bowel (polyps) with a wire loop put down the colonoscope.
You can usually go home soon after having the test. You may feel bloated and have some mild cramping pain for up to a couple of hours afterwards.
Possible risks with sigmoidoscopy
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a safe test for most people. But it has possible risks. These include bleeding from the back passage or a hole in the bowel wall (perforation). These are rare.
Your nurse will give you instructions on what to look out for and who to contact if you have any problems at home.
If your doctor or nurse took any biopsies or polyps, you should receive the results in 2 weeks.
A flexible sigmoidoscopy looks at the inner lining of the back passage (rectum) and left side of your large bowel (colon). It is also called bowel scope or flexisig.
A doctor or specialist nurse uses a thin flexible tube called a colonoscope. This has a small light and camera at one end. The doctor or nurse puts the tube into your back passage and gently moves it up into the lower part of your bowel. They can see the pictures of the inside of your bowel on a TV monitor.
You usually have this test in the endoscopy unit at the hospital. It may take between 5 to 15 minutes. But you should expect to be in the department for up to 2 hours.
There are a number of reasons why you may need a flexible sigmoidoscopy. These include
- To help find out the cause of your bowel symptoms
- To check a condition you have been diagnosed with in the past
- To look for early signs of cancer as part of the bowel cancer screening programme
Before your appointment you will receive a letter with details of how to prepare for your sigmoidoscopy.
Emptying the bowel with an enema
The lower part of your bowel needs to be empty when you have the test. So you may be sent a small enema to have at home, a couple of hours before your appointment. Or you may have the enema when you arrive at the endoscopy unit.
An enema is a small plastic pouch that contains liquid. The pouch has a nozzle. You lie on your left side, with a towel underneath you. You gently push the nozzle into your back passage and squeeze the pouch so that the liquid goes into your lower bowel. You need to try and hold onto the liquid for 5 to 10 minutes if possible, before going to the toilet.
It is important that you follow the instructions on the enema leaflet carefully. If you have any questions, call the number on your hospital appointment letter.
The effects of the enema should stop within an hour, so you shouldn't have any problems travelling to the hospital for your appointment. The enema keeps your bowel clear for several hours.
You can normally eat and drink as usual up until you have the enema. Then you shouldn't eat or drink until after your test. Some hospitals may let you drink clear fluids (such as water and black tea or coffee) during this time.
Emptying the bowel with a laxative
You may need to drink a liquid bowel preparation (laxative) instead of having an enema. You start taking this the same day, or the day before your test. You will have instructions of how and when to take the laxative. You need to follow these carefully.
You will also need to follow a special diet for a couple of days. You can't have solid food from the day before your test. When you start taking the laxatives, it is important to drink plenty of clear fluids.
After taking laxatives you will need to go to the toilet often. The need to go may be very sudden. You may also have stomach cramps. So you need to stay at home for at least a few hours after taking the laxatives so that you are close to a toilet.
If you are taking iron tablets, you will need to stop taking them about a week before your appointment. If you normally take drugs that can cause constipation, you may need to stop taking these up to 7 days before your test. Your appointment letter will give you more details about this.
Contact the hospital for advice as soon as possible before your appointment if you take medicines to thin your blood such as aspirin, clopidogrel or warfarin, or you are diabetic.
At the hospital
When you arrive at the endoscopy unit, a nurse will talk to you about what to expect. They will ask you about your medical history and any medicines you are taking. They will answer any questions you may have.
The nurse or a technician will ask you to change into a gown. They may also give you paper shorts to wear, which have an opening at the back. The nurse will give you an enema if you did not have one at home.
You can take a friend or relative with you to the hospital for support. They can normally wait in the reception area while you have the test.
You lie on a narrow bed, on your left side with your knees bent. You don't normally need drugs to make you drowsy (sedation) for this test.
The doctor or specialist nurse gently puts the colonoscope into your back passage and up into the large bowel. This is not usually painful but it can be uncomfortable. If you find it too uncomfortable at any stage, tell the doctor or nurse and they will stop.
You may have pain relief using gas and air (Entonox). This is a quick acting form of pain relief that you breathe in through a mouth piece.
The doctor or nurse puts a small amount of gas through the colonoscope into your bowel. The gas expands the bowel so that they can see the lining of the bowel clearly. This can make you feel bloated.
The doctor or nurse can take photographs of the bowel lining. If they see any abnormal areas they will take tissue samples (biopsies). If you have any growths in the bowel lining (polyps), they can remove them with a wire loop that they put down the colonoscope.They send the samples to the laboratory to be looked at closely by a pathologist.
You should be able to go home as soon as the test is over. You can usually eat and drink as normal.
You may feel bloated and have mild cramping pain after the test. This is due to the gas the doctor or nurse put into your bowel. This discomfort should pass within a couple of hours. Walking around, or having warm drinks or peppermint water may help you to pass wind.
A sigmoidoscopy is a safe test for most people. But like all medical tests it does have possible risks. Doctors make sure the benefits of having the test outweigh these risks.
After having a biopsy or polyp removed, you may have some bleeding. This is usually a small amount and stops on its own within a couple of days. Rarely, you may need a blood transfusion or surgery to stop the bleeding.
There is a very small risk of making a hole in the bowel wall, called a perforation. Although this is rare, it is serious. You will be admitted to hospital and may have to go to the operating theatre for emergency surgery to repair your bowel wall. And you will need strong antibiotics to prevent infection.
Your nurse will give you clear instructions on what to look out for and who to contact if you have any problems at home.
If the nurse or doctor had to take any biopsies or remove polyps you will need to wait up to 2 weeks to get the results. These will be sent to your specialist, who will give them to you. If your GP sent you for the test, the results will be sent directly to the GP surgery.
Understandably, waiting for results can make you anxious. Try to remember to ask your doctor how long you should expect to wait for the results.
If you haven't heard anything a couple of weeks after your test, phone your doctor's secretary or GP surgery to check if the results are back.

Would you accept this trade?
Need some advice on a trade. In one of my leagues someone sent me a trade, just wanted to get someone elses opinion on it.
I would receive: Brandon Marshall + Dwayne Bowe I would send: Reggie Wayne + Alfred Morris Here's what my team looks like already.. QB Andy Dalton RB Darren McFadden RB Doug Martin WR Reggie Wayne WR Brian Hartline TE Jimmy Graham OP Christian Ponder Bench: TE Dennis Pitta WR Hakeem Nicks RB Mikel Leshoure RB Alfred Morris RB Vick Ballard QB Jay Cutler Would you accept the this trade? |
10-12-2012, 08:37 AM | #3 (permalink) |
I agree I have morris on my team he gets alot of points almost every week, bowe is hit or miss with no quarterback to throw to him, brandon marshall does rack up points though. You are better off keeping Wayne and Morris though

10-12-2012, 09:53 AM | #5 (permalink) |
if you trade morris you are going to really hurt ur RB depth as Martin hasnt done too much and we dont really know the kind of player Leshoure is....Morris has been consistent and doing well so I keep him....Wayne has been connecting with Luck very well so no reason to trade those unless you are getting an elite player and neither of those guys are that
