February 24, 2016: CWVA Operations Announcement
(1) Our sincere THANKS goes out to each and every one of you who have patiently waited while we updated our systems and audited our paper files. A Special THANKS is further extended to the diligent and talented team who made the restart of our operations possible.
(2) We have uncovered a number of outstanding correspondence issues and should complete addressing them this weekend.
(3) Many of you should expect to receive phone calls and/or written correspondence from us ASAP to resolve ALL outstanding matters. Again, THANKS for your patience and understanding.
August 27, 2015: CWVA Announcements:
(1) As previously announced this week, the CWVA has resumed operations after an extended hiatus to revamp our hardware and software systems. Click here for more details.
(2) Throughout this week and next, we will be processing our backlog of membership applications and correspondence. Please see our updated Honor Roll which reflects the fact that we are now in the 2016 membership year. (Backlogged applications are now being processed as 2016 memberships.)
(3) Thanks to everyone who has continued to support our ongoing mission. We look forward to sustaining this cooperative effort so that the Cold War Veterans community will be recognized for generations to come.
October 15, 2014: CWVA Announcements:
(1) The latest round of CWVA (new and renewal) memberships has been processed and mailed. Be sure to look for yours. Also, be sure to check our Updated Honor Roll.
(2) Thanks to the gross malfeasance of the United States government:
China has overtaken the U.S. as the "world's largest economy" (as measured by gross domestic product);
India is catching up to the U.S. in space exploration by having successfully orbited a spacecraft around Mars (at a small fraction of what it costs the United States to do so);
Ebola has begun to manifest itself as a pandemic which is now impacting Americans directly;
All the while, the federal government continues to vastly understate the true unemployment in our nation by fraudulently citing the U3 rate rather than the U6 rate of unemployment.
(3) Having said the above, we must rethink the over-concentration of American spending on a non-productive and (apparently) infinite war against undefined and ill-defined threats. In our unending war(s), the United States allies itself with an entity one month only to declare that ally a hostile entity soon thereafter. The only beneficiaries of this madness are those heavily invested in defense stocks. As the litany in item 2 above demonstrates, we are destroying our great nation by our inability to reflect on this reality.
(4) As a mission-oriented veterans' service organization, the CWVA will wait out the 2014 elections and then call upon its members and friends to demand a change in the outcomes impacting Americans. If we fail to act, America's downward spiral is likely to continue unabated.
August 9, 2014: CWVA Updates Coming Soon. In the meantime, please check out our Updated Honor Roll.
May 1, 2014: Time to Reevaluate Cold War Victory
(1) In light of developments in Ukraine, we are foregoing commemoration this year of Cold War Victory Day. If a peaceful resolution is soon found in Ukraine, we will consider another event to recognize those who served in the Cold War conflict.
(2) This weekend we intend to process and mail the most recent (new and renewal) membership submissions. Time permitting, we will also respond to correspondence.
(3) As the foremost advocate for Cold War Veterans, we appreciate everyone's patience as we continue to monitor unfolding world events.
March 13, 2014: Re-ignition of the Cold War and Membership Update.
(1) Since last we updated our News section, the Cold War appears to have been reignited -- only this time the United States cannot claim the moral high ground it once commanded.
While the government that led Ukraine (until its overthrow) did not meet "Jeffersonian" ideals, it was democratically elected and (in the not-too-distant future) was due to stand for re-election. Rather than wait out this process, the U.S. government (through the auspices of U.S. Ambassador Victoria Nuland and with billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars) coordinated a violent coup. Spearheading this U.S. sponsored violence were groups considered (by many) to be "neo-Nazi" -- both in terms of their history and their stated policies. The umbrella name for many of the violent (U.S. supported) "neo-fascists" is Right Sector. Another violent (U.S. supported) group (historically aligned with Nazism) is Svoboda. (Five members of the Svoboda Party hold positions in the coup government now ruling Ukraine.)
It should also be noted that the non-elected Ukrainian government has replaced the governors in the east of the country (the part of the country which remains loyal to the democratically-elected government) with "Oligarchs" -- billionaires whose wealth was obtained through very questionable means and methods. U.S. taxpayers are now being asked to further enrich these billionaires at a time when the United States is cutting military benefits, veterans' benefits, food stamps and other programs that non-billionaire Americans depend upon.
Further damaging the reputation of the United States is our refusal to recognize democratic elections by sovereign regions within Ukraine (such as in Crimea) that do not wish to be ruled by neo-Nazis.
Perhaps the greatest mischaracterization of the events in Ukraine is the portrayal of modern-day Russia as a Soviet reincarnation when, in fact, the present leaders of Russia are (nearly) universally Christian and the majority of the Russian populace self-identifies as Orthodox Christian. In other words, Russia is no longer the "godless," "atheist" nation that America fought for so many years. One can draw his/her own conclusions as to the merits of religious belief. One cannot, however, be permitted to draw Americans into a "Holy War" with an enemy that does not exist.
(2) Processing the most recent (new and renewal) membership submissions was delayed due to storm-related and other "off-site" technical issues. In particular, we wanted to provide the update posted above before including a hard-copy version for those who requested it. However, we did not wish to release a printed edition prior to our formal issuance of the online statement. Because of internet outages in the Kansas City area, this was not possible. Now that we have posted our online Ukraine comments, membership envelopes will be released for mailing today.
January 8, 2014: (1) Happy New Year to all of our members and their loved ones. (2) We have processed and mailed the most recent (new and renewal) membership submissions and are in the process of answering recent correspondence. (3) While we continue to get inquiries about a congressionally-authorized Cold War Victory Medal, the fact is we are in our worst position ever. While national media celebrate the recently passed federal budget, this garbage deal (which was supported by members of both parties and their respective leaderships) not only did NOT include a medal for cold warriors, it "achieved" cutting military pensions that were earned on our nation's battlefields. This is contemptible and speaks volumes about men and women who have never served in our nation's armed forces but think nothing of sending troops overseas to die and then cutting their benefits should the troops somehow survive. In short, our nation continues to be ill-served by demagogic chickenhawks — be they in the federal government or the national media. Given the current lack of support by our nation's "gatekeepers," the advocacy voice of the CWVA is needed now more than ever. In this spirit, we thank every one of you for your support.
October 9, 2013: Sorry for the long delay in updating our membership news. The fact is, we have never been busier servicing the needs of the CWVA member community.
(1) Much of our focus has been on addressing the fast-developing and constantly-evolving national security roles of both our military and intelligence services. We played a particularly strong role in advocating AGAINST military action in Syria (as the predicate for unilateral U.S. military action had NOT been established), nor were we convinced that federal budgetary resources existed to fund such an action (and, given, the current federal shutdown, we feel vindicated on this score as well).
While BOTH the Executive and Legislative branches (initially) were head-strong for another budget-busting military action, the American people overwhelmingly voiced their opposition. Responding to the near-unanimous vox populi, the U.S. government finally backed down and, as a result, the lives of American service-members were spared.
(2) At the height of the mindless march to war by the latest group of chickenhawks, Father Patrick crafted this prayer for the Cold War Veterans Association.
(3) Related to item (1) above, the CWVA has advocated AGAINST the ever-increasing and unconstitutional violations of the privacy of American citizens. While national security is important, it CANNOT be invoked as a justification for violating the United States Constitution. It is terrifying to think of how frequently comparisons are being made between current U.S. governmental entities and the dreaded Stasi which allied cold war veterans worked to defeat. For the comparisons to end, we need to alter our priorities to once again become a republic.
(4) Finally, the latest round of new and renewal memberships was processed and mailed over a week ago and the Honor Roll has been updated.
April 22, 2013: (1) Another round of new and renewal memberships has been processed. Please continue checking our Honor Roll to help recognize those who have made a special contribution. (2) National security continues to dominate the headlines and the CWVA continues to be engaged in the conversation. While our work lately has been "behind the scenes," we will soon announce (new) policy positions with respect to these matters. In addition, leadership of the CWVA will soon be helping to conduct town halls on a number of related issues.
January 1, 2013: (1) The 2013 membership year is upon us and, with it, we have just completed processing a batch of new and renewal memberships. Please check our Honor Roll to help recognize those who have made a special contribution. (2) Special thanks to all the schools that hosted our speakers in the month of November. (3) THANKS also goes out to the NAACP for inviting the CWVA Chairman to introduce the keynote speaker (Mayor Carl Gerlach of Overland Park, Kansas) for a county-wide town hall on community service that took place in November.
May 28, 2012: To commemorate this day in history, we respectfully ask that you visit our Memorial Day page.
May 1, 2012: ...We invite you to read a posting on: What is a "Veterans (Service) Organization"?
January 26, 2012: Thanks to George Lucas having (recently) reminded us of the brave service of the Tuskegee Airmen, we thought it appropriate to share with you a photo (below) from last year's banquet of the Tuskegee Airmen's Heart of America Chapter.

Working together to protect a fishery in The Bahamas
July 17, 2016By all accounts, Glenn Pritchard and Mia Isaacs should be rivals.

A Struggle Against Illegal Fishing
October 27, 2014Antonio Bustos' family has been fishing Chile's coastal waters for more than four generations.

Apple may sell 10 million iPod nanos this quarter
Apple may produce and sell more than 10 million of its new iPod nano digital music players during the three month period ending in December, says UBS Investment Research.For Apple\'s quarter ending in June —the last fiscal quarter in which it has released results —the company sold a combined total of 6,155,000 iPods, which is the most iPods its ever shipped in a single quarter.
UBS had been modeling Apple to sell 8.3 million total iPods in the December quarter, but recently met with industry sources in Asia who said those estimates may prove to be conservative. The firm\'s sources indicate iPod nano build orders for the quarter could exceed 10 million units. Apple sells various other iPod models which would only add to this figure.
\"In short, our meetings were very positive for Apple into year-end and next, in terms of potential new iPods and possible build plans,\" said analyst Ben Reitzes in a research note released to clients on Monday.
The Wall Street analyst believes an increase in expected iPod sales could add as much as 10 cents to consensus earnings-per-share estimates for the quarter, which are currently at 45 cents.
Meanwhile, Reitzes also believes Apple may produce a new hard disk drive (HDD)-based iPod before the end of the year.
\"Our checks back recent reports that a handheld device capable of video playback could be in the works,\" the analyst said. \"We would expect possible new devices to be HDD-based and look a bit like a larger white iPod with a bigger color screen.\"
However, UBS estimates Apple will sell only 4.5 million HDD-based iPods in fiscal year 2006, which would be down 30% year-over-year, due primarily to potential cannibalization from flash based players such as the nano.
UBS also said it sees momentum building for Apple\'s portables and iMacs:
\"Our checks in Asia back this view, implying that sales of portables for Apple (particularly iBooks) are solid, which could make our estimates for overall Mac growth of 41% in 4Q05 and 28% in 1Q06 look
conservative,\" the firm said.
UBS continues to rate Apple a \"Buy\" with a price target of $64.

Balance Your Life, Not Just Your Check Book – Part 1Many of us get caught up in the business of living. We go to work and put in 8 hours or more at the office, most of the week. Or, we run our own business and work for much longer than 40 hours each week, thinking we can do that little bit more to make a difference today. Saying "I only need to do this….", or "If only I could finish that…" The sad reality is that this activity leads us deprived of growth in the other areas of our lives. There have been many self-help gurus and experts that have taught the importance of having a balanced lifestyle. But the expression 'A Balanced Lifestyle' can seem quite vague. To attain this ideal state of living, we must first understand what is meant by 'balanced', and what areas should you worry about? Having a balanced lifestyle means that you spread your time across a number of key areas in your life. It doesn't mean that each area receives an equal portion of time and energy, but it does mean that each area should not be neglected in favor of another. Each area of a balanced life is just as important. So, what are these areas? Career and Business This area of you life is concerned with the activities that you do that specifically relate to your current career or job, or your current or future business. For most of us, it is an area that takes up a large portion of our waking time. Financial This area is concerned with all things financial. Balancing your check book and managing your household budget and your expenses are activities that are classed in this category. Often neglected, as we only tend to recognize our health needs when it is almost too late to do something about it, Health is a vital area of a balanced life. Exercise, healthy eating and giving your body a chance to recover from your daily activities are all important aspects of a healthy life. Fun This is an area that can also be neglected, mainly through a lack of planning. It includes holidaying, watching movies, visiting a nature park – basically any activity that you would classify as fun. Any activity that serves no other purpose other than to primarily give you enjoyment. Relationships Spending time with your significant partner, friends, and family is a necessary part of a balanced life. Allowing yourself time to catch up with friends and enjoy their company is rejuvenating for both you and them. Personal Have you ever wanted to start a hobby, learn a language or add to your current skills but never had the time to do it? Any activity that you can undertake to expand your knowledge and education comes under this category. Contribution Lastly, there is Contribution. Many great books and philosophies, including the Christian model, promote the idea of giving back – to tithe. Basically, this area if your life is concerned with your spiritual connection. It might be activities to do with your church, charity, or community. Giving back to others is a very rewarding experience. So, it is one thing knowing which areas you need to be aware of, but another to organize your life so that you can spend time in each. However, the first step to a balanced life is recognizing the need to have an equally important time spent in each of these areas. To be continued…

From a naughty adult gingerbread-making kit and a voice-automated house to custom-made walking canes, dozens of ideas were pitched at the Dragons' Den auditions in Victoria Thursday.
It was the second stop for the CBC-TV show's producers, who are on a cross-country, 38-city audition tour to look for entrepreneurs with fresh new business ideas. Successful applicants will be asked at the end of March to pitch their concepts and request money from five wealthy businesspeople in front of the TV cameras in April and May.
"Victoria is one of our bigger (stops). We always find such good people there," said Michelle MacMillan, an associate producer with the show.
"It's a little bit (of) butterflies," Theresa Kauffman said of how she felt before meeting producers at the Inn at Laurel Point.
She and business partner Sabrina Pacheco sell designer and brand name clothing, for babies right up to youth, at their Rockbebe store in Mayfair Shopping Centre. They hope to expand and franchise their enterprise with the dragons' help.
"I think it gives you a shot to put yourself out there," Pacheco said of the benefits of appearing on the show.
Many applicants arrived with props and mannequins, poster boards and laptops, and like Esquimalt's Jeremy Green and Victoria resident Josh Mitchell, most came away from the experience with advice.
The masterminds of the pant-hem cufflinks called Scufflinks, Green and Mitchell were advised to work out their business plan and continue honing their pitch in case they are selected to face the dragons.
"We like it. We like both you guys, like the product. We like the energy," executive producer Tracie Tighe told them after their audition.
Show producers are looking for the complete package: fresh concepts and passion.
"It's been five really successful seasons, so now the big challenge for people will be finding a new idea that manages to be something we haven't seen before," said MacMillan, who is involved in the audition process.
Among the 3,000 applicants they see every year, more and more established businesses are being showcased. But ideas fresh off the page are just as welcome.
"We've got to see concepts, because these people won't ever get the opportunity to meet people like the dragons," MacMillan said.

Moss graffiti
Put in blender: one can of cheap beer or 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, a few handfuls of moss, one teaspoon of sugar. Paint on wall and mist daily until it grows.
This is pretty cool.
I finally, finally, FINALLY got an iPhone because my wife is awesome and said I could get one for our anniversary. After I got her a new bedside lamp from Ikea. Don't be jealous ladies. Anyway, here's some text between my brother and I. (btw, an otter is an iPhone cover)
There's really no way to introduce this.
There's 2 minutes you'll never get back. You're welcome.
36 comments:
Congratulations on your anniversary! Which one is it? So glad you got your long-awaited iPhone. I have to tell you your conversation with your brother made me laugh and that's hard to do at 5:30 a.m. What is it about brothers? :)
The moss art seems like a cool idea, but I would probably forget to mist everyday and I'd have dead moss.
Hope you're enjoying your summer!That moss graffiti is insane - but cool.
The post-it note video was even cooler.
Welcome to the SmartWorld - glad you didn't give up your dorkiness.
I really want my 2 minutes back. ;)
Christmas in August, Heat Wave Relief, and Then There Were Four: RTT RebelWow, back in NY we scrubbed the moss off the walls. This "art" sounds counter-intuitive to me. Congrats on the phone and otterbox. LG wants you to know that otters do not go in boxes, though. That's mean. (that's a conversation we had every day for a week after he learned I ordered one, until it came and he saw what it was...)
ReplyDeleteOtter box rocks, I've got a commuter or something. Love the thing. For very accident prone peeps, I recommend the defender. You can chuck that thing across the store and it doesn't even break.
Um, just make sure the phone is IN the defender though, mmm K?
(Just a helpful hint.)
Love the moss. Maybe I should go shave my house into a poem...

Lyon-Perrache (French: gare de Lyon-Perrache) is a large railway station located in the Perrache district, in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France. The station was opened in 1855 and is located on the Paris–Marseille railway, Lyon–Geneva railway and Moret–Lyon railway. The train services are operated by SNCF and includes TGV, Intercity and local services.
The station was built in 1855 by Alexis Cendrier for the CF du PLM. The building was built in classical style and is composed of a double rooftop and a large passenger building.
The station lost its view of the city when the transport interchange and dual-carriageway were built in the 1970s. Although much modern building has somewhat tarnished the look of the area, the station retains much of its original features:
- The station front features the names of towns served by trains departing Lyon-Perrache.
- The platforms are covered by two twin iron rooftops.
It is the terminus of the LGV Sud-Est line, the high-speed railway line from Paris. It is also served by conventional trains from other parts of France, and is the terminus of line A of the Lyon Metro. It is also the terminus of one of the Lyon tram lines.
Today, however, Perrache is no longer the primary rail station serving Lyon. Instead, the Gare de Lyon-Part-Dieu, constructed in the 1970s in a large planned business district outside of the central city, acts as the more popular embarkation point for most high-speed trains, especially to Paris and the north.
A rebuilding of the station is planned for completion by 2020, with a view to improving the interchange, which by then will be 50 years old.
Train services[edit]
Saint-Étienne, Roanne, Bourgoin-Jallieu, Villefranche, Vienne, Bourg-en-Bresse and Ambérieu.

The Grifters are perhaps the least recalled constituent of the mid-'90s indie-rock brigade. Having lost their status to more prolific bands like Guided by Voices, more pointed bands like Modest Mouse, or better bands like Pavement or Yo La Tengo, Memphis's Grifters seem to have sung their lo-fi sob story from the bottom of used record bins. You or I may still hold dear our copies of Crappin' You Negative, but it's definitely covered in a very fine fuzz.
More power to those who've followed up on onetime Grifter David Shouse's career -- you few are surely aware of his efforts as Those Bastard Souls and have probably already familiarized yourselves with the Bloodthirsty Lovers. For the rest, The Delicate Seam will feel like catching up with an old friend -- perhaps one who's married and has a kid now but nevertheless is still grounded in the same mentality.
There's a pointed diversity to each track on The Delicate Seam, the band's second full-length. The thick guitar of "Stiltwalker's Local No. 119" is the centerpiece as Shouse pontificates about hubcaps and UFO landings, but "El Shocko" is all sunshine and da-da-doos -- it could be a flipside to Broken Social Scene's "Pacific Theme." Later, "Now You Know" barely works as synth-drenched arena-rock. I think even Bob Pollard threw away lines like "Now more than ever/ We need to get our shit together." This is a little embarrassing until the gentle piano refrain -- "Now you know/ Now you know" -- is interrupted by an abrupt riff and a shout of "Give me drop dead rock 'n' roll!" Sure, I'll buy that.
Synthesizers are all over the record, and more often they're used for good instead of evil. "Happiness" is the best example, taking a standard mid-tempo Death Cab arrangement with crypto lyrics ("Hey/ don't lend/ the keys to the car/ to an unhappy friend") and adding in some crunchy synths to the song's zombie-drone for an effectively ominous atmosphere.
But with the good comes the bad, and unfortunately the band goes out with a whimper with "Medicated." Taking a drum loop straight out of Mac's Garage Band program, Young People's Katie Eastburn lends her striking voice to a snoozer of a track. "Don't grow up jaded/ stay medicated," she croons, as if she couldn't come up with a better cliché. Unfortunate, really, because it was enjoyable to catch up with our favorite Grifter after all these years.

Parallels, the hosting and cloud services enablement leader, today announced that small and medium business (SMB) adoption of cloud services from its partners using Parallels Automation and the Application Packaging Standard (APS) grew by more than 80 percent in 2012. This growth was fueled by SMBs who are now using an average of four cloud applications each, along with more than 50 percent of the top 30 global telecommunications providers now using the Parallels cloud service delivery platform. This is in addition to the 9,000 service providers and more than 50,000 web designers and developers also using the company's software to serve millions of SMBs.
To continue enabling service providers to grow and increase their share of the SMB cloud market, which is expected to mushroom to $95B by 20151, Parallels is unveiling number of new products including a major update to the Application Packaging Standard. APS 2.0 now includes a pluggable single sign-on, service bus architecture, and customizable user interface enabling service providers to seamlessly offer differentiated bundles of cloud services with an easy purchase and activation experience. APS 2.0 will be integrated in Parallels Automation 5.5, which is expected to ship later this year, and will include more than 30 back-office improvements and new services such as support for Microsoft Lync 2013 Hosting Pack.
To help service providers manage their SMB customers' accelerating storage needs, Parallels announced Parallels Cloud Server and Parallels Cloud Storage. Parallels Cloud Storage turns existing unused disk space in servers into scalable, high-availability and high-performance distributed storage. It is now available as part of Parallels Cloud Server, which brings Parallels Virtuozzo Containers together with the company's world-class hypervisor technology into a single product.
In addition to these product announcements, Parallels also released usage data for its products. First, Parallels Plesk Panel 11 is the fastest adopted version in the company's history. Second, more than 100 Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) have joined the APS ecosystem with new services in 2012. Finally, the Parallels service provider ecosystem has grown by more than 450 new partners over the past year. These updates combined with the new product announcements continue to make Parallels the catalyst for service providers to accelerate cloud adoption by SMBs.
"Parallels mission is to help service providers profit from the cloud. 2012 has been a breakthrough year for us in this regard," said Birger Steen, CEO of Parallels. "We have assisted service providers on all continents in crafting and executing cloud strategies, and we have enabled hundreds of new, useful cloud services for SMBs. We have continued extending our cloud service delivery platform: Parallels Cloud Storage dramatically reduces the cost of providing highly available storage. Parallels Automation 5.5 with APS 2.0 lets service providers deliver a seamless experience for SMBs buying multiple cloud services, with a library of more than 400 apps to choose from. We are more optimistic about our partners' success, as well as our own, than ever before."
"In working with hosters and service providers since the industry emerged in the late '90s, we have seen the acceleration of demand to create, deliver and manage bundled services for SMBs," said Serguei Beloussov, Chairman and Chief Architect of Parallels. "APS 2.0 is the game-changing technology that will make this happen across all Parallels products."
"SMBs are adopting cloud services at an accelerating rate, and they also have more choice than ever before in where to buy their cloud services," said Philbert Shih, Managing Director of Structure Research. "If service providers expect to stay relevant, they need to have access to actionable market research and analysis, the right enabling technologies, and a powerful partner ecosystem so they stay ahead of the competition. Parallels brings all of these requirements together in an integrated fashion specifically designed to help service providers succeed."
These announcements are being made in Las Vegas this week at Parallels Summit 2013. The event addresses all aspects of the company's service provider enablement solutions and business: Parallels service delivery software, expansion of the widest cloud services catalog, the broadest partner ecosystem, proprietary industry research and analysis, and a suite of go-to-market consulting and implementation services.
"During our evaluation process, it quickly became clear that Parallels was the only vendor that could offer us a proven off-the-shelf product and deploy it within a few months. In addition to the Parallels Automation platform, Parallels was able to provide us with the business consulting services we needed to configure it optimally for our offering and advise us on how to take it to market effectively in multiple countries. The fact that Parallels also has a very strong ecosystem of third-party partners, with applications that we can quickly and easily add to the platform over time, was also a key factor in our decision," said Rolf Magne Aasen, CTO at Telenor Business Internet Services." Throughout the entire process, Parallels has gone the extra mile to fulfill our requirements, and the team's 'can do attitude' enables rapid time to market across multiple geographies. We simply could not have met our demanding launch schedule without them, as well as develop such a complete offering for our next wave."
Next Generation of Cloud Service Delivery Software from Parallels
Parallels also announced new automation, virtualization and cloud storage products in addition to comprehensive enhancements to Parallels control panel products at Parallels Summit.
With Parallels software, service providers can manage infrastructure, automate provisioning and accurately bill for the widest range of cloud services for SMBs, while offering best-in-class control panels for self-service for the not only the provider but also for their resellers, IT administrators and end users. With a complete stack of cloud enablement software, Parallels can help service providers of any size offer SMBs the cloud services they need, ranging from shared hosting to hosted communications and collaboration to infrastructure-as-a-service to software-as-a-service. Products highlighted at the Summit included:
- Announcing APS 2.0: Parallels has significantly enhanced APS 2.0 to provide a secure, integrated and differentiated experience across all cloud services with service bus architecture, multi-factor authentication single sign-on, RESTful APIs, and HTML 5-based dynamic user interface.
"APS 2.0 takes the ability to integrate cloud services and create a seamless, unified experience for SMBs to the next level. It goes beyond software installation and defines a bus allowing independent cloud applications to interact," said Ruslan Fazlyev, CEO of Ecwid. "We are pleased to be in the early adopter program for APS 2.0."
- Announcing Parallels Automation 5.5: Parallels Automation 5.5 is expected to ship later this year and will have APS 2.0 built in and fully integrated. Navigation across billing and provisioning has been streamlined for an easy purchase and activation experience. The set of RESTful APIs has been expanded. New and updated core services include Linux and Windows Hosting, Microsoft Exchange 2013, Microsoft Lync 2013 and Cloud Infrastructure. This makes Parallels Automation the platform of choice for service providers and developers to innovate and differentiate.
"Parallels Automation combined with the APS standard, managed by KPN Software Online, form the underlying core technologies of KPN's Cloud Store," said KPN Omar Benameur." By eliminating the complexity of order delivery and payment processing, various KPN Business Units including KPN Wholesale, E-Plus and Base are able to aggressively recruit both service providers and ISVs to build out their own customized and diverse cloud marketplaces."
- Announcing Parallels Cloud Storage: Parallels Cloud Storage drastically reduces the cost of high-availability storage. Offered as a seamless upgrade for existing Parallels Virtuozzo Containers and Parallels Server customers, it will support third party virtualization technologies in 2013. Parallels Cloud Storage uses the existing unused disk space on server nodes to create a self-healing centralized storage pool for distributed, high-performance cloud storage.

By Yeshim Deniz DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true DevOps paradigm. Mar. 27, 2017 12:45 AM EDT Reads: 2,312 |

New Unlock and Jailbreak
iPhone 7, 6(S)/6+(S) 5S/5C 5/4S/4
iOS 10.x.x Released
What is Jailbreaking and Unlocking?
Jailbreaking is the process one goes through which allows the installation of unofficial third-party applications. These unofficial applications are usually much more cooler and useful than the official Apple approved apps you will find in the Apple App Store. It will also give you the ability to customize the background of your home screen and change the look of your icons and menu colors by your choice, and much much more!Unlocking enables you to cut all ties to your initial network carrier without replacing the mobile phone. When you purchase an iPhone either on pay-as-you-go or a contract, network carrier includes a SIM card, it is a chip containing a serial number that identifies you to the network provider. Most network carriers "lock" it in order to ensure you use their service for an extended period of time. If you attempt to use an alternative SIM card in a locked iPhone, it will just refuse it and show "No Service".
Lorem How many iPhones can I Unlock and Jailbreak?
You can use the software to unlock iPhone 7, 6(S)/6+(S) 5S/5C 5/4S/4 as many as you like. There are no limits which is a big plus when compared to many of our competitors who limit your software usage to one iPhone per purchase.iPhone Activation
We have an easy method to remove the iCloud activation fast and safe . We have two method to remove the iCloud . One is using an software and one by using the IMEI of the iPhone . The first method is done by the user and take max 20 min to finish . The second method is done by use but it take up to 25 days to remove the iCloud from your iPhone . This is done via iTunes and takes more time . The user will try in our members are the first method if the Activation fails he will insert the IMEI of the iPhone and we will do the activation for the client .Where can I check my Device Firmware/Baseband Version?
You can check it in Settings -> General -> AboutFirmware is marked as "Version"
Baseband is marked as "Modem Firmware"
Do i have to be a genius to Unlock and Jailbreak ?
NO! One of the many things that seperates us from other software to unlock iphones is that we cater to the average iphone user, as opposed to the iphone user who knows how to hack their iphone and do all sorts of technical things with it. As long as you have updated iTunes on your computer, then you just need to follow our easy to use step-by-step instructions to install the jailbreak and unlock software. AlongIs the software compatible with Windows and Mac Computers?

Best of luck with all of your wedding prep. I got married a week and a half ago and two days before the wedding we said, okay, that's it. Anything that isn't done now doesn't have to be done. We called it and welcomed our friends and family into town and had the most amazing time ever. I hope for the same for you. Thanks for this lovely DIY, too!
