There is a wide use of virtual private network now a days and recent studies have shown a significant increase in no of users of VPN user all over the world. The main pros of the Virtual Private Network is its great solution to the security needs of internet. Although there are many people around the globe who are using VPN but still as a user they have a lot of questions revolving in their mind about the issues of services given by a VPN services provider. There are a lot of service providers for VPN on market and they offer a variety of services which are different from each other thus this leads to lot of confusion among the user and this leads to lot of FAQ about the services given by the service providers. The VPN IP are the set of rules which are predesigned by the owner which are used for communication purpose, the communication is between the devices and the servers.
There are many factors which must be duly checked and verified, and among them the first one is the device used by the user, we have to check its compatibility and then decide the protocol type best suited for the user. There's a lot of variance in the protocol which we will see as we change the device. For e.g. if we take a mobile devices, there are certain boundary for communication i.e. supporting same protocols, this problems comes due the configurations mismatch between the various mobile devices like the type of processor, performance, memory etc. If we now compare the mobile devices with a desktop then desktop stands out the winner as they platform many protocols type while the mobile devices can't do such thing to a great context. Mobile device need some extra specifications to do such work. The inbuilt protocol is the best supported protocol for a device. The user should have to be aware about the protocols and should keep a fish eye to get the best protocols suited for their business.
The main types of protocol are PPTP, OPEN VPN and L2TP/IPSec. These protocols are of different nature and provide different services at different level, but the good thing is that they provide very good surfing speed. Let consider an e.g. the L2TP/IPSEC need very high speed of processing to hide the data or to make it safe during transmission and reception of data. This is the slowest among the three but is much secure than the others. The Open VPN is the best protocol to be used in desktop. But determining the best one depends upon the user and his type of business.
At last coming to conclusion the best way to determine the best suited protocol is to identify the need or purpose of use and plan it accordingly. So, do a little research before deciding the best VPN service provider that suits your requirements and provide you with the best security to your personal data.

The Digital Currency Revolution: Why and How to Invest and Trade with Ripple (or Stellar) in Bitcoin and Other Currencies, Valuables, Shares, Contracts
by Sebastian Schulze
"Sapere aude! Be brave enough to be your own bank! Become financially independent and self-sufficient (by cutting out the middleman)! This book is targeted towards people that want to take control of their own banking and gain (large and in the future complete) independence from the old financial institutions that charge more than necessary in transfer fees, commissions, and standing fees and once in a while still require to be bailed out at the taxpayers' expense. This book explains the game changing properties of the decentralized block chain technology on the example of three block chain payment protocols. Reference will be made toward how things work or don't work in the traditional system, hopefully answering the question: Why you should get started and join what is not a "hype" but a genuine revolution that is affecting the businesses of banking, money transfer, foreign exchange, accounting and many more. Many users and customers still need to ask themselves the question what is money and do we really need to limit ourselves to what banks and governments claim it to be? Why engage any third party which only ""contribution"" is to charge additional fees. Until now there has been no way around banks, credit card companies and other payment processors with storing and exchanging money and making (regular) payments internationally or in international remittance and investment. We can be trusted to exchange cash, buying groceries in the next supermarket. Why shouldn't we be allowed to exchange freely and directly in international markets buying currency, assets, shares, resources, gold, invest in companies and business ideas alike, etc. Peer to peer technology has broken new ground and forced the established industry to adopt new business models. Similarly to the previous achievements of peer to peer technology, we might also see what is going with the new digital currencies on as a coming of age, the emancipation of consciousness from an immature state of ignorance and undeserved trust towards a traditional, centralized, authoritarian system - a system that encouraged its insiders and elites to do the wrong thing. Book 1 of the Financial Independence Basics by Caveat Emptor ""The digital currency revolution"" introduces essential properties of three digital currencies and payment protocols (Bitcoin, Ripple and Stellar), how they work in particular, how they are different from each other and the traditional system, finally what this means to the user and why you should get involved, even if traditionally you do not see yourself as a revolutionary."

After getting into the Zurich Classic of New Orleans through a Monday qualifier and making the cut to stick around for the weekend, Brooks Koepka must have figured he was playing with house money Saturday.
Koepka was standing in the fairway at the par-5 18th hole at TPC Louisiana when he took a rip at the flag stick, which was tucked precariously close to the lake that runs the length of the hole.
Already 5-under-par for the day and 10-under for the tournament, Koepka took a chance to make a move up the leader board going into Sunday's final round — only to come up empty.
Minutes later, after taking a drop and chipping onto the green, he calmly rolled in a 4-foot, par-saving putt to cap a round of 67.
"I told my caddie that I feel very relaxed this week," Koepka said. "It's not that I've been uptight or tense or anything like that in previous weeks, but it's almost like I don't care this week. I hit in the water on 18 and didn't even flinch. It was one of those things. … It wasn't my best shot, but I played good."
That's what a few weeks of rest and relaxation will do for a world traveler like Koepka, who plays mostly on the European and Challenge tours.
Rested and ready to go after taking a couple of weeks off, Koepka earned his spot in the 156-man field Monday along with three other golfers when he carded a 64 at LaTour Golf Club in Mathews.
Ironically, Fore!Kids Foundation officials wanted to give Koepka, the world's 75th-ranked player, a sponsors' exemption to their tournament. But the Florida State graduate had already played in seven events on sponsors' exemptions — the maximum allowed in a season — which meant he had to get in the old-fashioned way.
He did and shot a 71 on Thursday and a 68 on Friday to make the cut, the only one of the four who earned spots in the tournament to get to the weekend. He's tied for 16th going into the final round.
Koepka, who has won $387,247 in eight PGA Tour events this season, will try to add a considerable amount from the $6.8 million purse Sunday.
Since he has no status on the PGA Tour and has used up all of his exemptions, he has to make hay when he can — which is what he was thinking when he took aim at the pin Saturday.
"Basically, good play takes care of itself," Koepka said. "If you play good, everything will be fine. So that's the way I'm looking at it."
Even though he's eight strokes off the lead with a round to go, Koepka isn't giving up on his dream of winning a tournament — which would be most unlikely, considering he came out of the open qualifier. Still, he's not surprised by his solid play.
"Actually, I hadn't played that much golf," said Koepka, who played in the 2012 U.S. Open and British Open and PGA Championship last summer. "I went and visited my girlfriend (a pro soccer player in Sweden) and didn't touch a club for two weeks. I don't want to say this (week) is a surprise, but I needed a little break. Don't get me wrong — I love golf. But I had a little bit too much of it for six or seven straight weeks. I needed the time off to recharge the batteries — mentally, physically, everything."
So getting into the Zurich Classic, one way or another, was the goal.
"I was over here, and I wasn't planning on going over to Asia," he said. "So I figured, 'Why not?' There was no point in sitting around at home. I'd rather be out here with these guys."
A top-10 finish Sunday would earn him a spot in the Wells Fargo Championship next week. But he's not selling himself short.
Koepka said he went into the weekend needing to shoot 12-under in the final two rounds to have a shot at winning. That became a little more realistic when second-round leader Ben Martin backed up to the rest of the field with a 73 on Saturday.
"I felt like I'd have a chance with 12-under on the weekend," he said. "I gave myself a chance to do it — go shoot 7-under (Sunday). You never know what can happen, so I just have to stay patient.
"It feels nice to be comfortable and just be very relaxed, because that's my personality. I don't get uptight about anything."
Not even an errant shot.

Embedded computer systems revenue in the communications vertical segment was responsible for the largest share of the total embedded integrated computer systems market according to a research study recently released by VDC Research Group. VDC's 2008 Embedded Integrated Computer Systems (EICS) research covers the market for embedded computer systems sold as integrated system-level products across vertical market segments. The communications vertical, which today is comprised largely of captive systems produced by large network equipment providers (NEPs) such as Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia-Siemens Networks and Nortel was over US$ 44.1 billion in 2007 and US$ 47.2 in 2008.
Captive EICS systems are embedded computer systems that are included or sold by the vendor in its own systems or subsystems. In this case, the vendor is usually an NEP or integrator and the systems or subsystems that they sell are end products, not compute platforms. The captive market represented 86.1% of the communications segment in 2008. Merchant EICS systems are embedded computer systems sold by a vendor whose primary end products are embedded compute platforms. Merchant systems are growing in share of the market and are projected to grow from a share of 13.5% of the market in 2007 to over 15.1% by 2012. Merchant systems are growing share of the market as NEPs attempt to reduce their internal design and development costs by outsourcing undifferentiated compute platform development.
Typical growth rates for this market over the past 5-6 years have been in the 9-10% range; this growth is projected to slow from '08 to '09 due to decreased investing by service providers due to the current economic downturn. The market is then projected to be nearly flat from '09 to '10, before gradually returning to average growth rates in 2011. Service Providers (SPs) are unlikely to stop all investment because they will have to continue to invest in cutting-edge services, particularly wireless services (3G & LTE), to emerge from the downturn strong.
ATCA and Bladed Servers will continue to grow, albeit more slowly than the rapid growth rates experienced by these architectures over the past 3-4 years, which was driven primarily by network convergence. However, they should still manage smaller amounts of growth due to their usage in the newest services that SPs must continue to invest in if they want to exit the downturn strong and positioned to capture market growth once again. Crimping the growth rates is the likelihood that deployments of cutting-edge architectures such as ATCA and Blade Servers will be delayed. SPs are expected to be very conservative in selecting their innovation "bets" during the near term.

Make Your Eyes Pop With These Simple Steps
So you have that perfect plus size cocktail dress, but now you want to achieve a great look for your eyes to compliment it. Here with these simple steps you will turn heads and stop people in their tracks with just your eyes.
- First you want to make sure you always get the proper amount of sleep and rest. Having less rest will cause your eyes to get those dreadful bags that we all dread.
- Prime. Priming you eye lids helps make your eye shadow last twice as long. Natural oils from your eye lid cause eye shadow to get lumpy.
- Shadow. Adding eye shadow to eye lids will make your eyes pop, and depending on the color of shadow that you choose can even make your eyes appear different colors. Swipe eye lid with shadow and blend upwards toward brow bone.
- Liner. Eye liner is a great way to make the eyes stand out and "POP". For a less dramatic look use a brown eye liner color. For more dramatic look use black eye liner. Apply eye liner on the crease/rim of the eye lashes (top and bottom) in an even matter so it does not look clumpy.
- Mascara. To help fluff and thicken your eye lashes use mascara. This will also help frame your eyes. Apply uses the mascara wand in upward motions on the top eyes lashes and downward motions on the bottom eyes lashes.
- Curl. Using a lash curler will help even the dullest straight eye lashes achieve that beautiful glamor look.
- Brows. Lastly, fillin in brows with a eyebrow pencil that is the same color or one shade darker then your nateral eyebrow color will help add that emphasis to make your look complete. Use light strokes to color in brows making sure not to over do it so your brows will not get mucked up.
Now its time to go out on the town and show off your new look. Now you got the eyes to match your beautiful plus size cocktail dress.

DJI Inspire 1 Specs
For figuring out which camera drone is the best fit for you, the specs don't lie. I've given a few key specs for different parts of the DJI Inspire 1below.
Dimensions: 438x451x301 mm
Weight with battery: 2935 g
Max speed: 22 m/s (with no wind in ATTI mode)
Max flight altitude: 4500 m
Max wind speed resistance: 10 m/s
Operating temperature range: -10 to 40 C
Motor model: DJI 3510
Propeller model: DJI 1345
Overall, the design of the Inspire 1 is advanced, simple, and lightweight. Its dimensions are 438x451x301 mm, but it only weights 2935g with the battery inserted. The body and frame of the Inspire 1 are mostly made up of carbon fiber, and the arms can be easily maneuvered to raise or lower the body of the drone depending on whether you are attaching the gimbal or taking camera shots in the air. When taking it to the air, the Inspire 1 gets great altitude and speed. The max speed is about 22 m/s (about 50 mph) with no wind resistance at all. The most wind resistance the Inspire can take is 10 m/s (about 22 mph), though some have flown it in even stronger winds. With this sort of model, you have no trouble executing any sort of maneuver.
Model: TB47
Capacity: 4500mAh
Voltage: 22.2V
Max Charging Power: 180W
Net Weight: 570g
Operating temperature range: -10 to 40 C
As the specs show, the Inspire 1 comes with a fully-integrated, high-capacity 4500mAh battery called the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery. It has a voltage of 22.2V and weighs about 1.3lb or 570g, which makes this battery both efficient and powerful. It also gives you about 18 minutes of flight time which is a bit above average for a drone, though admittedly not at the highest end of flight time.
Effective pixels: 12.4M
Max image size: 4000x3000
Shutter speed: 8s – 1/8000s
ISO range: 100-3200 (for video) and 100-1600 (for photo)
FOV: 94 degrees
Lens: anti-distortion; 9 elements in 9 groups
The 4k camera was designed specifically for the Inspire, so it is especially well-suited for flying drones. More so than the Gopro camera—which many people swear by. It can take 12 megapixel photos and the camera lens has 9 elements that work together to give you an undistorted, clear image. The 94 degree field of view is just right and tends to reduce the amount of fisheye that you get with some cameras.
Transmitting distance: 2km

The remote control makes flying the Inspire 1 almost intuitive as the drone responds smoothly to direction from the remote. The remote is well weighted, and it is easy to reach all the switches and buttons. It can hold any device the same size as or smaller than an iPad air. But whatever tablet you use really can't be wider than 170mm. With the viewing device attached, you will have incredible control of the sights your Inspire 1 views as the tablet will enable you to view the video feed in real time once you connect it to either the HDMI or USB hookup located on the remote.
The DJI Inspire 1 specs show that this is a competitive drone for any photography needs. Just think—all the power of the Inspire 1 is within your reach.

Photos posted on a Chinese social network claim to show technical diagrams and manufacturing tools used to create the iPhone 6.
Published on a Weibo account - the Chinese equivalent of Twitter - the photos show production schematics on a computer screen and a metal die block, apparently used to hold the iPhone's aluminium chassis while it is machined into shape.
Apple is widely expected to announce two new iPhones later this year, one with a screen size of 4.7-inch and one of 5.5in, both larger than the 4in iPhone 5s and bringing Apple in line with both its direct flagship rivals and the growing phablet market of phones larger than five inches.
The photos have not been independently verified, but given the size of Apple's production chain, images from factory interiors are all but impossible to keep out of the public eye for long. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 6 in September or October this year, although recent reports claim the larger 5.5in model has been delayed until the end of 2014.

Note: this is not a news or wiki staff blog, but rather it is an opinion blog. The opinions expressed here are the opinions of the author, and not necessarily the opinions of any other TSW administrator or member.
Since being promoted to Bureaucrat a few days ago, I've been thinking more in-depth on the future of this wiki. Of course, in order to consider where this wiki is going to go, one needs to keep an eye on the future of the series it follows. For the first time that I can remember, that future is not clear.
I think that The Sims, including an eventual The Sims 4 (or whatever they choose to call it) is going to incorporate more multiplayer features than are in any of the previous versions of the game. I hinted at this possibility when EA Maxis announced Showtime, which included new social features. I think, given what we've seen so far in the progression of TS3, as well as in an upcoming reboot from Maxis, the odds are pretty good that the hypothetical TS4 is going to be much more social network-oriented. For better or worse.
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of multiplayer in principle. But I also like my game and the singleplayer aspects of it, and I'd hate to sacrifice too many of those in exchange for allowing multiplayer functionality. To me, that wouldn't just be an inconvenience, it would change the very nature of the game I'm playing.
I very much doubt that EA Maxis would be embarking on any project like this if they didn't see some potential for profit. The Sims is arguably one of the backbones of EA's software library, and certainly offers itself as a cash cow, with all its special editions, compilation packs, stuff packs, expansion packs, downloadable store content, and horrible celebrity crap packs. I don't think that EA Maxis would make a radical change to the series unless there was justification for it.
But I believe there just may be. Consumers and gamers are fickle people, and it can be argued that all The Sims games up to now have largely followed the same formula. Each new game in the series has offered improvements over what came before it - better graphics, more playing options, larger neighborhoods/towns, more in-depth character creation, etc - while the base games or expansions have added things here and there. But the game remains much the same as it was back in 2000 - a single-player life simulator. The question that EA is likely asking is; how much longer can we sell the same product before we can't sell it anymore? How much longer can The Sims continue to be what it has been for the past 12 years? When will fundamental change in the series become necessary for the ongoing survival of the series? And if that fundamental change is too great, will the result be the end of the series itself?
Surely nothing lasts forever, but up to now it has been hard to imagine an end to The Sims. The franchise has been wildly successful and, as before stated, a great source of profit for EA. But if that success begins to wane due to either a stagnant game series with little new innovation or a fundamental game change that alienates the players that made the series so popular to begin with, I can imagine it won't be long before the end is in sight.
I don't want to cry about the sky falling, but I feel that the former scenario mentioned might already be taking place. Certainly I for one am not as immersed in the game as I once was - this can be as much attributed to things going on in real life that take precedence to gaming, as it can be to the game itself, but it appears that I am not alone here. For instance, numerous fan sites for The Sims have either been downsizing or folding up. Recently, SimPrograms has even considered the possibility of shutting down due to staff issues, including a lack of passion for the games. It seems as though the whole game series is headed for a crossroads, and the decision that EA Maxis makes on the direction impacts the future of its series, and the future of all those sites that follow the series.
The future of The Sims Wiki hinges on the future of the series. First, for as long as Wikia exists, there will be a Sims Wiki on it, so I have no doubt that the information compiled so far on this sim-cyclopedia will remain available indefinitely. But the community that has developed here within this wiki, that follows the games and dutifully keeps the gears of the wiki turning, is always changing. Some people come, while others go; that is an inescapable part of wikis in general. But, if the series were to end or were to change to the point of alienating its fans, the effect would be felt here too, with declining involvement, declining readership, and ultimately a declining quality of the wiki itself.
I do not want to make it seem as if I think these changes are all right around the corner. There is a possibility that The Sims series could continue strong for years, or decades. There is no reason to declare now that the game is dead, only a reason to express caution at what the future holds for it. So, there is no reason to say now that this wiki has had its day; as long as the series goes on, fans will be here, keeping the pages neat and the community alive.
I didn't want to write this blog simply to lament or worry or complain or speculate. I wanted to talk about our future. For while we do strongly depend on the future of the series, we can just as well ensure our own continued success and strength. I believe there are a few keys to this.
1 - Be always open to new people. - We should be trying to make personal contact with more of the users who join our ranks. I know personally that I, very early on in my wiki days, was reached out to by members of this Wiki. Had that not happened, I probably would have disappeared shortly thereafter, much like many of our short-time contributors. While not everyone will choose to stick around for the long term, I think having more personal contact with these new people - while always remembering not to 'bite' - might go a long way to keeping a few more of them.
2 - Maintain our community features. - Keeping our many community features - Featured Content, Battles, Contests, the monthly mainpage poll, the Facebook Page, Twitter profile, etc - running smoothly is no small task, and it takes a large number of staff and dedicated people to do it. While we are first and foremost an encyclopedia on The Sims, it's important to have fun while editing here, and these features allow that. So keeping the level of features we have now, or even considering expansion, is in my book a very good idea.
3 - Don't fear discussion. - Many members here have a hesitation to participate in Community Portal discussions. Those discussions have had a history of becoming quite heated (I take part of the blame for this), but they ultimately tackle a lot of issues that affect the wiki and the community. Long story short, if the matters being discussed there weren't important, we wouldn't be talking about them. So if you're a member of the wiki that doesn't often, or ever, participate, I encourage you to stop by the Community Portal talk page and weigh in on the topics of the day, or even start a topic of your own if you feel something should be discussed. While some of us may seem to dominate the conversation, I assure you we are totally open to anyone's opinions and want you to get involved in the wiki's decision-making. This is not a wiki owned by the bureaucrats and admins, it's a wiki owned by everyone, and everyone should have a say in how it is run.
4 - Outreach - This one is a deviation from what we've done here at TSW up to this point. I personally believe in the benefit of interaction with other fan sites. I think that TSW often seems isolated from the rest of the fan community, and that probably acts as a deterrent to new membership here. We have what could honestly be called a weak affiliate program, but I'm talking about more direct interaction with sites. This is just one idea that has always been in the back of my head, and I've always wanted to know how others felt about it, so I'm throwing it out there. I believe becoming more active in the fansite circles would bring new users here, and with them, new knowledge about the games, including things we might be lacking in here (for instance, technical knowledge about the games, their programming, modifications, etc).
So, all in all, the series is on the move, and where it goes no one knows. As the series moves, so does TSW and the rest of the fandom. And whether we end up with a Sims that continues to entertain for decades, or a game that largely departs from its roots, or a game that simply ceases to be, we will always have The Sims Wiki. So it's our job as the community today to ensure that we have a strong community into the future.

What's on my Desk6:00 AM
Let's be real, my desk doesn't even come close to resembling this aesthetically organized flat lay. What is real is that these are all things on my desk that I use, love, and can't imagine getting through a week without.
For those who prefer minimalist interior spaces it may look like too much, but I like that my desk represents my interests and me.
Keeping this quick-absorbing handcream and yummy-scented lip balm on my desk reminds me to reapply. I take jewelry off when I'm typing, so there are always bracelets on my desk. Perfume bottles equal functional décor. And of course my phone is always near, dressed in this adorable case at the moment.
Now for the real necessities. Just kidding, but snacks are a crucial component of my desktop. My favorite chocolate nibbles are from Trader Joe's and KIND bars are a staple healthy snack. A reliable coffee mug is a must everyday, and a cute water bottle makes me want to drink more water.
Inspiration can come from books too, not just the internet. Miles of MAC and Refinery 29 Style Stalking are two of my favorites for a jolt of inspiration.
What are things that you can always find on your desk?

The National Hansen's Disease Museum was established for the purpose of eradicating the prejudices and discrimination associated with Hansen's disease and restoring the dignity of patients and former patients by promoting public edification and dissemination of accurate information regarding the disease.
- Hansen's disease is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Leprae.
- Not all cases of Mycobacterium Leprae infection result in Hansen's disease. Nowadays, only a few develop the disease.
- Nor does the disease progress rapidly once contracted.
- The initial symptoms include skin patches and loss of sensation.
- Before drugs to counter Hansen's Disease were invented, the disease often resulted in disfigurement and left disabities even when cured.
- The disability and disfigurement often caused stigma and discrimination.
- Treatment is available now. With early detection and treatment, the disease can be cured with no disability.

No, I don't mean Mystique's daddy, as in Mystique from the X-Men universe. That would be some blue mutant guy who can shape shift, assuming he has the same powers as his lovely blue daughter. I mean daddies, as in gay daddies, as in older guys with that certain something, totally in the eye of whomever is looking.
There are muscle daddies, sugar daddies, bottom daddies, grand daddies, daddy bears, ftm daddies, and daddy long legs. Okay, that last one is a spider, not a gay archetype. Although next time you see a tall daddy with thin legs who walks sideways and/or on walls and hangs out in your garage and/or bathroom sink, call that man a daddy long legs for fuck's sake!
For me, daddy has power because it calls up intimacy and difference, and on some level, a sexual admiration for men of a certain age, generally a positive thing (as long as, in my opinion, people see beyond the archetype to the individual at least sometimes). Of course, that age which defines a daddy is totally up in the air. Is a 35 year old a potential daddy? He is if he's got the look, demeanor and barely legal arm candy. Or a briefcase, some gray hair (minimum of three), and a pair of golf shoes.
But what if I say sissy daddy? Is that an archetype for the gays? Not that I've heard of but maybe it can be. Or does that make some of us uncomfortable? I think with daddy, there's a big connection to masculinity. Not a surprise. But so too there are effete daddies. Daddies who will take you to the opera. Daddies who play super butch sports like badminton, bocce ball and knitting. Yes, knitting is a sport (and one some uptight daddies who clench their jaws too hard should take up to relax). There are also white collar daddies who never get scruffy and daddies who don't give a damn about how they come off. They just are.
And that's what I'm drawn to, daddies that just are. They don't even need the word daddy to surround them. They don't need to take over your life. They want you to be your own person. They're confident in themselves right back. So when I think of the fascination with daddies, to me it's not the opposite of twink love as it's about more than age. At first it's a way to draw up a mystique around someone, a way for that man to draw you in, whether purely sexually or also emotionally, spiritually, or as a friend.
But if/when you get to know him, he can become more than that daddy in your mind, more than a symbol or fantasy. He may wear that label with pride, play with it, and with you, get kinky with it, but you both know, he's him. He has a name besides daddy. And that name is, drum roll, "Daddy Mike" with a capital D and capital M dammit and don't you forget it! Now do the dishes, take out the trash, vacuum the living room, and suck his cock like a vacuum. He's your daddy after all. And you're a daddy's boy or whatever you want to call yourself. Daddy's boy is fucking cute though. Or maybe you're a daddy reading this. In your spectacles and boxers, lounging in bed, on the hunt. Call me!
Now can someone explain to me the "Daddies Need Daddies Too" button I saw many years ago? Because all I can think it means is that's a good name for a sitcom. A naked sitcom.

"It's going to be a great tour for us since we will play in all the Carribean islands during the eight weeks," said new coach Andy Moles on Friday.
The Kenyans will start their campaign in the Carib Beer series (formerly known as Busta Cup), against the West Indies 'A' team at St. Kitts, Antigua on January 9.
Their next match will be against the Leeward Islands on January 16 before meeting the Brian Lara-led Trinidad and Tobago a week later.
The team, which includes three Junior players, will be without the country's top bowler Thomas Odoyo, who underwent a knee operation in December.
"I'm sad to have to miss the tour but I have to save my future career," said Odoyo. "I hope Alfred Luseno (one of the three youngsters) who takes my place in the team will be a good replacement and will learn a lot during the tour."
The other members of the team are skipper Steve Tikolo, Martin Suji (vice-captain), Maurice Odumbe, Ravindu Shah, Kennedy Obuya, Hitesh Modi, Collins Obuya, Peter Ongondo, Brijal Patel, Lamech Onyango, Francis Otieno, Maurice Ouma and Rageb Aga.

Post-merger integration and restructuring for a global IT services company
The Problem: Large acquisition in an unfamiliar territory
Our client had offices and operations across Europe and Asia, but limited presence in the Americas.
Acquiring a US-focused business with over 2,000 employees was a strategic success, but the two businesses needed integrating to deliver cost and revenue synergies.
As a carve-out, the acquisition also brought added complexity from transitional service agreements
Our Approach: Integration team with senior sponsorship and broad responsibility
We set up a small integration team at the acquired company HQ, staffed by Credo and senior management from both businesses. This team organised employee transition, developed detailed synergy plans and facilitated back-office integration. It also supported financial integration, building a new budget for the acquired company within a very short timescale.
Broad responsibility meant the team could quickly identify dependencies, and the autonomy granted by senior management enabled quick reaction to integration roadblocks.
The Result: Smooth and successful integration
In the first 200 days, all customers and employees were successfully migrated to new contracts and rebranding was completed.
Detailed plans were developed for £30m in annualised synergies, which were later executed on plan.

How to install the semaphore UI for running ansible
This blogpost is about how to install the semaphore user-interface for running ansible. Ansible is an automation language for automating IT infrastructures. It consists of command-line executables (ansible, ansible-playbook for example) that can run a single task using a module (using the ansible executable), or can run multiple tasks using multiple modules in order to perform more complex setup requirements (using the ansible-playbook executable). The downside of running IT tasks via the command-line is that there is no logging by default, unless someone decides to save the standard out to a file, which, if multiple people start doing that by hand will probably lead to a huge collection of text files which are hard to navigate. Also, when tasks are run via a common place, it's an all or nothing situation: everybody has access to all the scripts, or to nothing.
This is where semaphore comes in: semaphore is a web-based user interface for running Ansible playbooks, for which you can define users, grant users access to certain templates (groups of playbooks, inventories (=groups of hosts) and ssh keys), which they can run, for which the output is saved in a database.
Semaphore is an alternative to Ansible Tower, which is a non-free product from RedHat. Semaphore is an open source project under active development, and is relatively "young", which means it can (still) have "sharp edges". Also Ansible Tower has more functionality.
An other feature from semaphore (and tower for that matter), is that any manipulation done via the web interface can also be done via a REST API. This means that if you use another language or product for the planning and/or deployment of (virtual, cloud, etc) machines which can do REST calls, or if you can craft REST calls with it, you can hand over the management of running Ansible for provisioning to a machine or a group of machines to semaphore, so tracking and logging of running Ansible is taken care of.
However, I did find the documentation of how to install semaphore in a real-life usable way not as verbose as I would like it. For that reason, I decided to write it down in this blogpost. Actually, most of the tasks are done using an Ansible playbook, so the installation is quite simple.
I am using a machine running Oracle Linux 7u3, I think this instruction is usable on any version Centos/RHEL/OL 7.
1. Install EPEL
EPEL has additional packages to the packages in the distribution repositories.
# rpm -i https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
2. Install Ansible and git
# yum install -y ansible git
3. Create a key pair for the root user, and add the public key to authorized_keys
# ssh-keygen -N '' -f /root/.ssh/id_rsa # cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
4. Clone install_semaphore repository
# git clone https://firstname.lastname@example.com/FritsHoogland/install_semaphore.git install_semaphore
You might want to change the admin_(username|email|desc|password), which are the credentials for the semaphore superuser in the install_semaphore.yml file. If you like you can change the mysql credentials, however I do think the default settings are okay, because the mysql database will be hidden behind the firewall.
5. Create inventory, disable known_hosts validation and run the semaphore install playbook
# cd ~/install_semaphore # echo "localhost" > hosts # export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False # ansible-playbook -i hosts install_semaphore.yml
Please mind this requires root to be allowed to sudo to any user.

A lot of business owners are wondering if they really need social media marketing to help grow their business. That is understandable as social media hasn't been around that long and has really only become mainstream in the last few years. Many businesses are very familiar with traditional marketing strategies like TV, radio and print advertisements and are now needing to learn how to incorporate social media into their marketing mix.
Many businesses have seen exciting growth from the use of social media, my company Top Dog Social Media is one of them. My own efforts with social media have resulted in an ongoing, steady stream of leads from my local market here in Kelowna, BC and businesses from cities from all across Canada and the US, find me via social networking sites.
The list of benefits from using social media marketing are many. Here is just a short list of them:
1. Social Media Provides Easy Access
Recent surveys have showed that four out of five Canadians, and 70% of Americans are on at least one social media site. With just a few clicks, people can find what they want and need on any of the popular social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. Aside from reading the current news and events, people are doing more and more online, including making transactions like paying their bills and purchasing different products from various online shops like Amazon and eBay. Traditional forms of marketing have also branched out to the Internet with printed articles now available online, and online streaming for TV and Radio. The online world is like a big box filled with all the things you need, and with millions of people having easy access to the medium, the probabilities of your business to be known is very high if used properly and effectively.
2. Marketing in a Social World
For a long time businesses portrayed themselves as distance and formal, but today's consumers expect more. Businesses must now learn how to market in the new social world, where consumers have taken control and are changing the rules. Businesses have to change their old approaches and start showing their 'human side' not just their 'corporate side'. Personal relationships are just as important as business relationships. Business owners can no longer treat consumers as mere people who buy their products; they need to begin to establish a long-lasting relationship with them. Once they do this they will not only build loyalty from their consumers but also turn them into raving fans. And that's what social media marketing can do best. It can build bridges for communication between business and its consumers.
3. Real-Time Customer Support
We all know how costly it is to build a customer support department for a company. Call centers of big companies have been outsourced just to save money. But customer support is just as important, if not more, in a small business, yet most don't have a customer service department. With the exponential growth of social media, customer-related issues can be addressed in real-time on social networking sites. You just have to have someone from your staff actively update and monitor your social media sites in order to address these issues. This is one branch of social media marketing that traditional marketing mediums can't offer.
4. Product and Services Development
In relation to real-time customer support, social media marketing and strategies can help you find ways in which you can develop your products and services. By monitoring consumer-related issues, and the ability to see what peole are talking about and looking for, you can decide what types of additional products and/or services you should offer. Previously companies would have to spend a fortune on focus groups and surveys to gather that kind of information. You can also pay attention to any recurring issues? What product or services do your consumers like, and what do you need to improve? This is a very important benefit of social media marketing that all businesses big and small can benefit from.
5. Watch Your Competition
Lastly, other companies pay a lot of money in order to conduct market research and know what their competitors are doing. With the help of social media, all you have to do is visit their blogs, Facebook or Twitter account and in a matter of minutes you will see all the latest moves that they are making to improve their business. You don't need to conduct days or weeks worth of research just in order to know if they will be launching something new, all you have to do is click and everything will become available to you.
These are just some of the many ways your company can benefit from using social media marketing to promote your business.

I have a user who is getting reminders for meetings that he has dismissed over a year ago. He dismisses them and the next week there they will be again. I tried closing his outlook down and opening it with outlook.exe /cleanreminders. This cleared them all for yesterday(even the ones he needed) but then they were all coming back up this morning (yesterdays showed up too). He is running Outlook 2007 on a Windows 7 machine. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should do to fix this issue?
PS: getting rid of outlook is not an option, but thank you.

5 Reasons Higher Credit Card Rewards Don't Make Sense
Those of us that use credit cards for every purchase are probably doing so with good reason. We are trying to earn as many credit card rewards as possible on our everyday spending. While some might have a goal to earn cash back, others are trying to earn enough points and miles to achieve a free vacation.
But when does it stop making sense to chase the high credit card rewards? Here are a few different reasons why is might not be in your best interest to go after a big reward with your credit card.
Failure to Pay Statement Balance Each Month
One of the worst things that you can do when using a credit card is to not pay off the statement balance each month. When you do that, you will start incurring finance charges that can potentially wipe out the value of any reward you have earned. If you find yourself carrying a balance during most months, then it might be a smart idea for you to look into a credit card that has a lower interest rate.
The Rewards Value Doesn't Make Sense
Does your family spend a large part of its budget on either groceries or gasoline purchases? If so, then it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to have a rewards card that offers bonus miles for travel related purchases. Instead, look for a card that will offer greater rewards for the purchases you do make on a regular basis.
You're Not Careful with Authorized Users
One nice feature with many reward cards is that they offer very attractive sign up bonuses. To sweeten the deal even more, there are some cards that will also offer a bonus when you add an authorized user to your account and they make a purchase. If you decide to get one of these cards, make sure you are incredibly selective with whom you make an authorized user. The extra points are not worth your credit being hurt by having someone go on a shopping spree.
You Let Your Rewards Expire
The thought of letting your miles expire would make most people a little queasy. You work so hard to accumulate a large balance and the last thing you want is for it to be wiped away. Unfortunately that is exactly what can happen with a lot of hotel and airline rewards programs. If you do not earn or use any points, then your account is subject to closure for inactivity.
If you don't use your credit card very often, make sure you don't just stick the card in a drawer and forget about it. Find out when your points will expire and make sure that you use your card to extend the expiration date.
The Spending Requirement to Get the Sign Up Bonus is Too High
Almost all rewards cards require you to spend a specific amount over a period before they will award you with the sign up bonus. As the credit card bonuses gets more and more lucrative and as the ability to earn bonus points increases, the minimum spend amounts will also go up sometimes to a level that would be uncomfortable for most people.
Before you make the decision to apply for a credit card, make sure that you are going to be able to meet the minimum spend. If you won't, then you need to think twice about the card that you want to apply for.

Ignatius Farm's CSA Project: bringing community and fresh food together
Tuesday, July 3, 20120 Comments
Photo by Mike Smith. CSA Farmer: Field & Education Coordinator
"Community-supported agriculture or CSAs and other local food initiatives serve to reconnect communities with food and also to rebuild community around food." says Nicola Inglefield
For the last 11 years, Ignatius Farm has been working hard on providing their community with fresh and locally grown foods year round. Projects like these allow members of the Guelph community to not only enjoy fresh foods, but to gain experience and respect of the work and passion required of local farmers. Nicola Inglefield, Volunteer Coordinator and Senior Intern at Ignatius Farm, to talk about the inspiration behind the project and how students can get involved.
"Ignatius Farm CSA was established in 2001 after a number of years of community members gathering to discuss rural and farm issues as an expression of social justice in the form of the Jesuit Farm Project," said Inglefield. "The ethic of the farm community, and the desire to have the farmland at Ignatius thrive with community input and connections was the inspiration of the Jesuits and community members who initiated the program."
Among the many collaborations of Ignatius Farm, their best known is with the CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training) Ontario network of farm internships. "We founded this program in 2002 with six other farms in South Western Ontario. It now includes four nodes across the province and a total of 63 farms. One of our CSA farmers has been the coordinator of CRAFT Ontario South West region for 10 of its 11 years." says Inglefield.
Programs such as these demonstrate the success of community collaboration projects, where members join together and work to elevate the quality of living of the local community. Anyone is welcome to volunteer at the Ignatius Farm CSA, where they can help with the planting, weeding, harvest and the marketing required to keep the program running.
"We love having volunteers!" exclaims Inglefield. "Field volunteers are welcome to join us in our seven acre certified organic vegetable garden, [peek times include] the garlic harvest, the onion harvest and the Frost Watch Team (this team harvests all the winter squash and pumpkins.)"
A unique volunteer opportunity, Ignatius Farm's CSA offers, is for members to sign up for a working share. This allows you to work on the farm as a CSA member in exchange for a share of the harvest.
"This is a great way to learn about growing food, get more connected with your food and where it comes from, and meet some awesome people." says Inglefield.
More than 100 people volunteer at the Ignatius Farm CSA, some who help at certain peek times of the harvesting season and others who lend a hand year round. Projects like this one seem crucial to the local and organic food scene so prided in Guelph.
"As one of the first CSAs to service Guelph—one of the longest lasting—has helped us gain a reputation of growing high quality organic vegetables," says Inglefield. "CSAs and other local food initiatives serve to reconnect communities with food and also to rebuild community around food."
The production, preparation and healthy consumption of good food may be becoming something of on archaic notion as food becomes less localized. Most of the food we buy and consume from the supermarkets are imported and produced out of the reach of ethical laws and practices. CSA projects allow people to reconnect with food and their community, working together to ensure that fresh foods are no only readily available, but well worth the extra effort.
"[W]hen you consider all the food crises occurring around the world, it is of great importance for communities to produce their own food," says Inglefield. "Producing fresh, local, ecologically farmed food and encouraging members of the community to join us in this venture is a step towards food sovereignty for the whole community."

Turkish WordPress?
OK, WTF has happened to WordPress? Why does it suddenly think my blog is in Turkish? Not of course the contents, but all the template stuff, and – far worse – the settings and preferences that should (I guess, though I never actually tried it) enable me to switch to my choice of language.
Confirmed it's not my browser playing sillybuggers by accessing it from three different browsers[1] on three different computers. Chrome offers to translate this page, but that's not going to help with a bunch of clientside-scripted menus!
OK, try another tack. ssh in to a remote machine on another continent and check the blog with lynx. Aha, it's now in English! Hmm, could that difference be because I'm not logged in? Try to log in, but fail because Lynx rejects WordPress's SSL certificate and refuses to talk to it.
OK, what happens if I fire up a spare browser that's never logged in from a local desktop? It's in English. And when I log in with Safari, it's still in English. This is getting silly!
Resolution: when I reload this composition page in Chrome, it's reverted to English. Someone or something was playing sillybuggers but got fixed. Was WordPress hacked? Did some sysop at WordPress screw up?
Or could it even have been some sysop at my ISP running a supposedly-transparent proxy that messed with browser preferences? That's the most worrisome: I got email from them recently inviting me to "protect" myself, and I suspect they're implementing some Endarkenment. A glitch in something more sinister? My next test would've been to route my (turkish-infected) desktop browser through another network, but the return to English pre-empted that.
I don't know when whatever caused the Turkish first appeared, only when I first saw it – which was a little before 09:00 UTC. Anyone else see Turkish wordpress in recent hours? Or even – if you're a Virgin broadband user – other sites unexpectedly in Turkish?
[geek note: I could also have tested for a rogue browser preferences setting by visiting a multilingual site like Apache server docs that display in Turkish if your browser asks for it. But that would've left open the possibility of misdiagnosing a glitch associated with an ISP-run database having different routing/rules for different sites].
[1] Iceweasel, Firefox and Chrome, in that order.
Occasionally I follow a wordpress tag. On my own blog, to find an old article. Or on wordpress as a whole. The latter shows a "featured blog", which sometimes (but not always) seems relevant to the tag. There's quite often lunatic-fringe political ranting, that has led me to wonder if someone at WordPress regards the entire Bush team as wishy-washy liberals.
Recently I've seen something altogether more bizarre. A "featured blog" that seems to be no more than computer-generated random text. Here's a snapshot from just now, for the "apache" tag. A "featured blog" that's gibberish, followed by the most recent real blog entries to use the keyword. These entries sometimes include spam too, though the current entries are legit.
A salutory lesson
Just read the sad tale of the demise of Gianugo's blog.
In short, it fell victim to a spammer/cracker inserting something nasty, which only got noticed when the entire blog fell out of google. Gianugo had fallen into the common trap of assuming a personal site too insignificant to be of interest to an attacker (a mistake with which I entirely sympathise). If I'm not much mistaken, Gianugo knows what he's doing, and if it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us.
For me, this is a very good reason to host my blog at wordpress.com – one less thing to worry about. Which is not to say I won't fall victim to a similar attack, either my own server through something different, or my blog through a successful attack on wordpress.com. We can but do our best to protect ourselves against known dangers!
wordpress.com is pwned!
… is the only explanation I can see.
My last post "is it blog spam" appeared as "private" when I first hit the "publish" button. Before I'd even made it public, two comments had appeared. They were trackbacks that were definitely and unambiguously spam.
That must surely have come from within!

Target: Prime Minister Monmohan Singh
Goal: Demand action from the Indian government to end witch hunts and protect women in parts of rural India.
In rural parts of India, poor harvests, droughts, and illnesses are ascribed to the supernatural. Villagers consult witch doctors who are reputed to have the power to protect against black magic and identify those who supposedly cast the spell. In many cases women are accused of being witches and are targeted by mobs who strip them naked, beat them, and burn them alive. Sign the petition to ask the Indian government to take action and end the practice of witch hunts.
There is strong belief in the supernatural through many parts of India. However, lynchings for witchcraft are more common in the rural eastern provinces that are poorer than the rest of the country. In Assam and West Bengal it is estimated 750 people have been killed for witchcraft since 2003. In the Chhattisgarh it is estimated that annually 100 women are tortured, paraded naked, harassed, or killed because of suspected witchcraft.
Chutney Mohato is one woman who was accused of being a witch sixteen years ago. She was stripped naked, beaten, and nearly killed by villagers in eastern Jharkhand, a province of India. She was forced to flee the village leaving behind her home and property. Accusations of witchcraft are often motivated by economic interests and bound up in property disputes. Female landowners like Mohato, a rarity in rural India, are often targeted by male counterparts to acquire their property and are often humiliated sexually by being paraded naked.
Witchcraft in India exists as a form of economic and gender violence targeted in a way to disempower women. Mohato now runs an organization to help women combat accusations of witchcraft and fight back against those superstitions. Sign the petition to ask the Indian government to take a more proactive approach in protecting women from accusations of witchcraft.
Dear Prime Minister Monmohan Singh,
I am a human rights activist writing to urge the Indian government take action to end the practice of witch-hunts in rural parts of Eastern India. Witch-hunting exists as a form of economic and gender violence targeted against women. The vast majority of those accused of witchcraft are women. The women that are targeted are often independent female landowners who are forced to leave their property behind in order to escape with their lives. They are often subject to humiliation that is sexual in nature by being paraded naked in front of the village.
Social activists believe that estimates of 100 incidents of witch-hunts in states like Chhattisgarh are merely the tip of the iceberg. Accusations of witchcraft and witch-hunts seek to disempower and victimize women. It harms their economic and social welfare in addition to putting their lives at risk. The Indian government has a duty to take action to protect women and end this archaic and immoral practice.
I hope you take my thoughts under consideration.
