A few years ago I picked up a book called 'Stupid Sock Creatures' by John Murphy. It was from a small book shop in Helsinki called Hobbocks, which unfortunately has since closed. It was a mixture of comic strips and sewing patterns for making strange looking monsters from old socks.
I went through a stage of transforming my old socks into aliens, which was great fun. I then picked up some gaudy patterned socks from a cheap store and made some that were nice enough to give as Christmas presents. It was good to find my rudimentary sewing skills, that I picked up when putting Iron Maiden patches on my denim jacket in the 80s/90s, were still useful.
Imagine my joy then, to see 'The Return of the Stupid Sock Creatures' pop up on my Amazon recommendation list under the coming soon section. More stupidity, more monsters and more cartoons! Needless to say this has been pre-ordered and will be winging its way to my door as fast as my Prime subscription can carry it.

Just about the time I was beginning to think spring might never come, there it was. Millions of the tiniest and palest green buds, unfolding in the trees. Branches are mostly bare still, but if you look closely you'll find a haze of green as if God airbrushed the color in. Though it's not much to look at yet, how that faint color lifts my spirits.
Thinking back to when the last leaf may have fallen, I'd guess it was sometime in early November. Which means we've had a good 6 months of winter. Six months is a long time to put up with bitter, driving wind, frigid temps and grey skies day after day. Six months! When you wait that long to hear a robin sing outside your bedroom window, or to feel a warm breeze on your face, or to let the kids ride bikes and climb trees, spring becomes something really special.
I doubt spring would be quite so wonderful, though, if I didn't know the flip side of the coin – that cold and rigorous winter. In fact, I know I took it for granted when we lived in Georgia, where winter is shorter and milder, and spring is never far away. It's a fundamental truth that we appreciate something more after we have had to go without it.
Today marks the second Sunday after Easter. Holy Week and the gut-wrenching passion of Christ are still fresh in my mind. As I journeyed through Holy Week, I confess I struggled somewhat to fully understand what Jesus' death on the cross means for me personally. Though I want to fully appreciate it, sometimes I have a hard time doing so because there has not been a day in my life where I've had to "go without" it. Like the countless sunny spring days in Georgia, all too often I take Jesus and His great love for me for granted as well.
Lately, I've wondered if one of the reasons for this is that my meditation involves a little too much spring and not enough winter. Many churches today struggle to find this balance as well. We love, love, love that all-inclusive Gospel which tells us how much God loves us. But we are not so quick to open our ears to what must come first, and that is God's Law. The cold, harsh reality of the law is succinctly stated in Romans 3:20, "By the Law is the knowledge of sin." The law is a wintry gale that batters our souls and pushes at us until we are hunched over in agony and crying for deliverance, until we have no doubt that we are guilty before God, and helpless to change.
Just as winter makes me appreciate spring, so God's law makes me appreciate the amazing grace found in His gospel to a much greater degree. Jesus said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Mark 2:17) His Law shows me just how deathly ill I am, so that when He reassures me with His gospel I am able to better appreciate what that cost was.
This morning, several days after I packed away all our mittens and winter hats, it began to snow. While the kids looked out the window and groaned, I had to smile. God has a special way of making it personal for me. Just as I was blessed during Holy Week and Easter to reacquaint myself with the price Jesus paid to redeem me, so now I am reminded that His grace is what sustains me every single day. Though "there is none righteous" (Romans 3:10), Jesus has given me new life through His work of salvation.
Yes, I'm grateful for the cold winter because it makes the warmth of spring all the more beautiful, and I'm still more thankful for the Law of God because it makes the new life of the Gospel the most beautiful gift of all.

What exactly are you trying to do in PrestaShop? We are happy to help however, it's unclear in your comment.

Do I need to change DNS before I can get into the admin consol? If so, is there a way around that in order to rebuild the site that is live and sitting on Wix as we speak? My concern is, this is a large site that is live and if I change the DNS now, the site will be down until I can rebuild it here. The client will loose valuable customers, orders, and money.

A DNS change is not required to access the Administrator console unless the site URL you used is not yet pointed to your hosting server. If it's not, then you should point it first and get the PrestaShop running live on your domain name. You can place PrestaShop in Maintenance mode and it will NOT show anyone the site before it's ready.

I'm attempting to install Prestashop on one of my addon domains first so that my office admin can learn how it works. We'll install it on a diferent addon domain for public access after that
I installed it here: /home/myserver/public_html/addon.com
I clicked on the url http://addon.com
I landed on a Parked Domain page at GoDaddy, our previous host. So I went over there and changed nameservers to
ns.inmotionhosting.com and
I did that at 1730 Pacific. I know it could take 24+ hours to propagate (I'm in Phoenix and 6 hours is what I usually see).
Is there anything else I need to do?

Hello David,
That should be all you need to do as long as the domain is setup as an addon domain on your cPanel account and you have modified the name servers at this time you would just need to wait for the propagation.

Hello Sastha,
That error typically comes from redirects. You will want to check your .htaccess file and investigate any redirect code in there. Look for things that conflict, like having code that says a redirects to b and another line that says b redirects to a. That would cause a redirect loop.

Hello Gary,
Thank you for your question. I looked up the Whois for your domain, and it is not pointed to our nameservers.
After pointing to our nameservers in AMP.
Here are our Nameservers:
Primary: ns.inmotionhosting.com
Secondary : ns2.inmotionhosting.com
Be sure to allow up to 24 for the DNS change to propagate.
If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

I'll take a wild stab at translating this: You fixed it and I should wait 24 hours to see if it works, right?

2014-06-26 7:24 pm
Hello Gary,
Sorry for the confusion, it looks like John Paul accidentally linked to the Whois article twice instead of the changing your name servers in AMP guide, so you might have went on a bit of a wild goose chase.
Essentially right now your domain is registered with us, but set to use the following name servers:
Primary: NS3.LIVEDNS.CO.UK
Secondary: NS1.LIVEDNS.CO.UK
If you want your domain name to pull from our web-server, you need to point it at our name servers instead:
Primary: NS.INMOTIONHOSTING.COM
Secondary: NS2.INMOTIONHOSTING.COM
After making that change, it can take up to 24 hours for the DNS settings to fully propagate across the Internet and for your site to be available everywhere. If you're interested at all about why this needs to change, check out our what is a name server guide.
Unfortunately I can't change this for you because public comments aren't a verifiable medium, you could either follow the steps in that guide or submit a ticket and we'd be glad to help you out!

Hello Helene,
The username for PrestaShop is an email address. This would have been specified when you installed the program, so if you remember entering an email address then, use that one and see if it allows you to log in.
Kindest Regards,

The Skill of Tennis
It can be said with some justification that tennis is the most difficult of all ball games to play. A correspondent of The Times newspaper described it as "running, jumping and hitting chess". The reason is that since the ball is solid, it can be hit hard and fast and can be spun in all directions. Furthermore the angle of wall and floor and the peculiar hazard of the tambour (which diverts the ball across the court) makes an inexperienced player very uncertain in which direction a ball will travel. Finally the racket head is small and to hit the ball in the middle of the racket is at all times extremely difficult. To spectators it may seem easy to hit the ball. To players it often seems unbelievably difficult.
If the ball is undercut, then, when it strikes the wall at the other end of the court it will drop sharply downwards, making it difficult to return. For this reason good players cut the ball and do not, as in lawn tennis, top spin the ball which causes it to bounce high off the back wall and presents an easy shot to the opponent. The winning openings provide both players with ever present opportunities of winning points; and the tambour is tactically very important since a ball hitting it will change direction abruptly through about 90°.

Basically the personal computer was not any kind of brand new at all, and one of my best friends from facebook in particular from "radioline community" Mr Endy gave the computer to me and I took for granted. He gave me the personal computer for me for free. Excellent, and I was honour to receive his trust for this. Through this personal note, I would like to express my gratitude for this, and I really appreciate his thought of giving me excellent PC I was dreaming of.
|This is only an illustration, and NOT a real one. This image taken from Google and showed here as example of what the actual personal computer I already had. I had one like this at home.
Could I add however that University Of Tanjungpura owned the Kopma Untan and they previously provided Cyber Cafe (Warung Internet) as well, and I was sure of the cyber cafe were still existed so far by now.
Mr Endy gave the personal computer, a property of his own at his home I was afraid , to me due to his personal opinion after he read my posting at my status on facebook around the middle of mid February 2012 , and I never thoght before he responded postitively about my status on the facebook.
I could not remember quite well about the sentence I wrote on my status on the facebook instead of "requesting help from anyone who can give me personal computer to run my own business at home". Somebody responded my status on the facebook, and he was the person finally.
This was not the first time Mr Endy gave me a present or gift. I remembered in the year around that period of time I was working at the Kopma Untan, around mid 2001s, he gave me a cool and excellent Simpaty Number at 08125701354 with the remaining pulsa credit around Rp.500.000,- (Five Hundred Thousand Rupiahs), and unfortunately I have lost the number.
The number 08125701354 was not exist anymore, and I could have used the number if it reversed from SImpatY into HaLLO system, and I was not agree with this offer due to I was not able to afford HaLLO monthly payment. I prefer SIMPATY from Telkomsel for the cheapest fee of sending SMS and making or receiving call from others.
I have some plans to equip my personal computer to be more interesting, sophisticated and complete as well such as a brand new HeadSeat , Cannon Print , Mouse Pad , USB Flash Drive, Monitor Cover and other additional tools. Interesting and also challenging. How about the fees for providing those additional devices? Well that must be absolutely expensive to afford so far but I could have purchased those devices one by one right?. Or anyone here can give some of those? Wahahaha. Just kidding, bye thanks for reading my blog today. (Asep Haryono)

I think their right to talk about sovereignty was removed around about the time they INVADED the islands against the express wishes of the inhabitants! A lot of people argue that the Falklands War was a throwback to British Imperial power and a bad one at that.
I, however, see that war as a war based on protecting the isolated inhabitants of some defenseless islands against the aggression of a larger, and at the time undemocratic, neighbour who was using the war to distract it's own oppressed population from financial worries and a nasty "dirty war". Hmm... who was right. We were! The Argentinians obviously haven't learnt the lessons of that conflict.
Until the population of the Falkland Islands call for union with Argentina it is our duty to defend them against the expansionist ambitions of any other neighbour.

Accused of being 'irresponsible' even by a fellow campaigner for transparency in public life, Assange mounts a freewheeling defence in his memoir: 'It was never my intention to be responsible,' he says, before proclaiming: 'We will shine a light into any murky corner…- Julian Assange: The Unauthorised Autobiography, The Sunday Times
State secrecy is essential for any nation - certain things must be kept secret for the sake of national security, for the sake of lives, for a proper criminal process. Sure, essential information is vital for a functioning democracy but never at the expense of national security or human lives. Wikileaks does not take into account diplomacy let alone national security or people's lives. It's not done in the name of transparent democracy, but spilling secrets because they are secrets. It doesn't help that they release files to make a political point, not for the sake of openness or transparency. Julian Assange admitted as such when he went on the Colbert Report in the aftermath of releasing 'Collateral Murder':
Colbert: There are armed men in the group, they did find an RPG, the photographers who were regrettably killed, were not identified as photographers. You have edited this tape and given it a title 'collateral murder,' thats not leaking.. thats a pure editorial
Assange: So, the promise we make to our sources is not only that we defend them through every means we have available.. but we will try and get the maximum political impact..
Colbert: So collateral murder is to get political impact?
Assange: Yes, absolutely...
Colbert: I admire someone who is willing to put collateral murder on the first thing people will see knowing they probably wont look at the rest of it..It's an emotional manipulation. This is "collateral murder" and now watch this objectively
Assange: That's true, only one in ten watch the whole thing.
Assange has explicitly stated that his aim is to 'end two wars' – including the war in Afghanistan which liberated the Afghan people from the Taliban and brought a government that the Afghans want to power. Bill Keller has even written after meeting him that he 'was openly contemptuous of the American government.' Aside from leaking things for a political purpose, Wikileaks' work leads to information being published that potentially and actually harms people. It doesn't seem to bother Assange, that his information might lead to informants who aid the Afghan-supported American military force being killed. Declan Welsh, one of the Guardian's writers recalls
We went out to a Moorish restaurant, Moro, with the two German reporters. David Leigh broached the problem [of redactions] again with Julian. The response floored me. 'Well, they're informants,' he said. 'So, if they get killed, they've got it coming to them. They deserve it.' There was, for a moment, silence around the table. I think everyone was struck by what a callous thing that was to say.
This is why Assange's personal beliefs are important: it means he simply doesn't care about innocents. The Afghan War Logs were released in coordination with several papers including the New York Times and the Guardian. The New York Times had a clear approach which took into account lives, intelligence and harm to personnel. Bill Keller, the executive editor, wrote
Guided by reporters with extensive experience in the field, we redacted the names of ordinary citizens, local officials, activists, academics and others who had spoken to American soldiers or diplomats. We edited out any details that might reveal ongoing intelligence-gathering operations, military tactics or locations of material that could be used to fashion terrorist weapons
Wikileaks, however, decided to release all the files without redacting people's names. According to John Burns, another writer for the New York Times 'several WikiLeaks colleagues say he alone decided to release the Afghan documents without removing the names of Afghan intelligence sources for NATO troops.' Like normal people, some Wikileaks workers disagreed with what Assange had done. It turned out that they were right to be. They outed hundreds of Afghan informants, including a Taliban defector putting their lives at risk. The Taliban even said they would trawl through the documents, ominously adding 'we know how to punish them.'
This is a clear example of Assange putting his politics above the lives of individuals (who he says 'deserve it'). He could have redacted them like the New York Times, The Guardian and Channel 4 – but he didn't. According to an Afghan official, Assange 'put in real risk and danger the lives and integrity of many Afghans.'
This chain of events isn't unique; when it released the U.S diplomatic cables, the BBC noted that they published a document that had 'long list of key facilities around the world that the US describes as vital to its national security.' The loss of any of these facilities 'could critically affect US national security.' Again, a Jihadist group set up a 'workshop' to try to 'categorize and pinpoint all U.S. interests worldwide.' Wikileaks even published a map of U.S military bases in Iraq.
And this isn't limited to the Middle East. In Africa, Wikileaks released a document which showed that Morgan Tsvangirai spoke to U.S officials about the possibility of sanctions against the barbarous Mugabe regime. As a result, Tsvangiri is facing treason charges – a crime for which the punishment is death. More recently, two Zimbabwean generals will also face charges for talking to U.S officials. It's no surprise that Trevor Ncube, a media mogul, has stated that 'It hasn't aided the agenda for democracy or accountability. In fact, it has taken the country back five years.' In Ethiopia, a reporter has had to flee after a cable revealed that he had spoken to someone from the American embassy there.
In Eastern Europe, Wikileaks' actions are equally deplorable. Assange passed documents to an anti-semite called Israel Shamir. According to Luke Harding and David Leigh of the Guardian,
Subsequently, Shamir appeared in Moscow. According to a reporter on Russian paper Kommersant, he was offering to sell articles based on the cables for $10,000 (£6,300). He had already passed some to the state-backed publication Russian Reporter. He travelled on to Belarus, ruled by the Soviet-style dictator Alexander Lukashenko, where he met regime officials. The Russian Interfax news agency reported that Shamir was WikiLeaks' "Russian representative", and had "confirmed the existence of the Belarus dossier".
This dossier alleged the Belarus opposition was working with the Americans. According to Jo Glanville of the Index of Censorship, 'Israel Shamir is using his position to support a dictatorship.' Shamir then went on to provide the authoritarian regime with cables. Shamir even assisted the autocrat Lukashkeno is setting up his own Wikileaks. James Ball, a former Wikileaks worker, said in the aftermath of all this, 'For an organisation supposedly devoted to human rights, the apparent lack of concern when faced with such a grave charge was overwhelming.'
In the name of openness, Wikileaks first denied that Shamir worked for them – a claim that has been proven false by an e-mail obtained by the BBC's Panorama programme in which not only did Assange say that Shamir would continue working for Wikileaks under a different name but that Assange did not find his writings anti-Semitic but after reading a 'brief sampling' of his writings found them to be 'strong and compassionate.' This is a man who was convicted by a French court for publishing anti-Semitic material and his writings are clear enough.
And its not just government officials and innocent civilians in war zones who have been affected by Wikileaks' reckless behaviour. Wikileaks published an investigation in Belgium into a child killer, but because they did not redact any files, they left names of witnesses in the case. The 'dossier mentions names, telephone numbers, addresses and bank details of witnesses and people involved in the investigations.' Asked if Wikileaks might remove some of the names of innocents and witnesses, a spokesman said 'That has not been discussed.'
Nor was this the only case involving child abuse. Time Magazine notes that Wikileaks published a file that listed all the websites that the Australian government planned to block. This would have been okay – had Wikileaks minimised the harm caused and not published links to child abuse. I'm not going to link to the cables (as I haven't throughout this post), but two documents published. Both documents have links to websites which judging by their URLs contain child abuse.
Just a final word on Assange's defences of his actions. The claim that Assange does enough is baloney: Amnesty International approached Wikileaks to redact names, Assange in response said he needed $700,000. Of course, Amnesty doesn't have that money laying around – so the documents were published. Assange admitted that 'if we were forced into a position of publishing all of the archives or none of the archives we would publish all of the archives because it's extremely important to the history of the war.' According the New York Times, he has even 'prepared a kind of doomsday option' where 'if he was arrested, he would disseminate the key to make the information public.' Information is released for political or for personal reasons, it would seem.
His accusation against the American government being at fault are similarly dubious. When the New York Times released the diplomatic cables, as mentioned before, it redacted key information. In doing this, it gained a lot of help from American officials:
The administration's concerns generally fell into three categories. First was the importance of protecting individuals who had spoken candidly to American diplomats in oppressive countries. We almost always agreed on those and were grateful to the government for pointing out some we overlooked... the Obama administration's reaction was...for the most part, sober and professional.
Wikileaks has put people at risk and in some cases has led to their direct persecution. Assange has deliberately not listened to human rights groups who have asked him to redact names. His employees have aided authoritarian regimes – not brought them down. In the name of human rights. I don't feel there is any other conclusion one can reach apart from that of James Ball – a writer who left Wikileaks because of its recklessness:
WikiLeaks has done the cause of internet freedom – and of whistleblowers – more harm than US government crackdowns ever could... These cables contain details of activists, opposition politicians, bloggers in autocratic regimes and their real identities, victims of crime and political coercion, and others driven by conscience to speak to the US government. They should never have had to fear being exposed by a self-proclaimed human rights organisation.
What is achieved by outing political dissidents working for freedom, witnesses to a child abuse case, publishing lists of child abuse sites, what government 'lie' is exposed by publish details of military bases, what is essential about lists of civilian sites essential to national security or credit card numbers of individuals - what is the use in all this? There isn't one. Wikileaks has made freedom fighters think twice about talking to nations which can help them. What more could you possibly expect from someone who never intended to be responsible?
Update (04/10/2011): I changed the quote and the top and I'm going to be updating whenever I think there is a story worthy of being shared. Here is one from The Globe and Mail:
Some of China's top academics and human rights activists are being attacked as "rats" and "spies" after their names were revealed as U.S. Embassy sources in the unredacted WikiLeaks cables that have now been posted online. The release of the previously protected names has sparked an online witch-hunt by Chinese nationalist groups, with some advocating violence against those now known to have met with U.S. Embassy staff.
Also named are some of China's most outspoken intellectuals, including some known for pushing reform of the country's authoritarian political system. They may now see themselves painted as "American agents," their arguments for change shoved further to the margins.
The unredacted cables also give the real names of some prominent Chinese bloggers and Twitter users, who previously were known only by their screen names.

Britain's Adam Gemili warmed-up for his Olympic debut in the grand manner by winning 100m gold at the World Junior Championships with a personal best time in Barcelona.
The 18 year old, who will compete in London in the 100m and 4x100 relay, broke Darrel Brown's 10-year championship record and shot into the top eight juniors of all time as he clocked 10.05 seconds.
Having abandoned a career in football to pursue athletics, the victory could be the first part of a remarkable double success this summer, with a place in the Olympic 100m final beckoning for the former Chelsea youngster.
"I am speechless," said Gemili. "I just told myself to stay relaxed and stay focused.
"I am not going to lie, I was nervous before the race, it's a World Junior final, it's in this stadium in Barcelona, how can you not be nervous? But you need to use your nerves in a good way, try to use them to help you run and I did it.
"It's a massive stepping stone. Just making the final was an achievement but the fact I won is so amazing. It's going to help me a lot at the Olympics."
The personal best time of 10.05 is the second fastest run by a British junior in history and by a European athlete in 2012.
Gemili burst onto the scene in May after clocking 10.08 in Germany to achieve the Olympic A standard qualifying time and book his place at London 2012.
Debate soon raged over whether the starlet should be blooded for the Games, with the World Junior Championships coming just 15 days before the opening ceremony.
However, the sprinter will compete as one of three Team GB athletes in the 100m event, and will be looking to become only the fourth Brit to break the 10-second barrier.
"Who knows?" Gemili added. "All I know is that I feel good and I feel there is a lot more to come.
"I think it was very important to run that time. I ran quite quickly at the trials but not near the times I did in Regensburg [when he ran and 10.08], so the fact that I've done it again somewhere else is great."

ISOOSI is proud to be a community sponsor for the 2012 Naples Film Festival.
The Naples International Film Festival celebrates independent film and filmmakers in an intimate festival setting in Naples, Florida. Now in it's fourth year, the festival is attracting films and filmmakers with bigger names, and gaining notice from the international film community.
Shannon Franklin, executive director of the Naples film festival, said it's grown every year as the board develops a better understanding of what the community's wants.
"We have such an artistic community," she said. "And it's great for the economy. We have so many people from all over the world who come and want to stay for the festival."
ISOOSI was proud to create the website for the Film Festival, and we continue to update it regularly.
Getting involved as a sponsor was the next logical step.
"It's something we really wanted to do," said ISOOSI President and Founder Carlos Fernandes. "We opened our first office in Naples. And even though we've expanded since, the South Florida community will always be near and dear to our heart."

MTC-Coexminas operates two emerald mines in Colombia, Puerto Arturo and Tequendama mines. The mines had had very poor visibility and communications to the underground operations and as the mines are expanding rapidly, they wanted to identify suitable technology to meet the needs.
The mines ordered an ImPact Digital Network for the two underground mines. The initial systems cover key areas underground and then will be expanded over time.Being gem mines security has always been an issue, so MTC Coexminas assessed the mines' operating systems and identified the security benefits to be gained by:
– Tracking the movement of the emerald load buggies and miners underground.
– Video monitoring of key locations
– Improved two-way mobile communications throughout the underground areas.It is these key applications that the ImPact Digital Network provides the communication backbone for.
MST was chosen because such a remote site demanded high reliability as access is predominantly via helicopters and hence expensive to bring in maintenance personnel. We thank MTC-Coexminas for choosing MST and look forward to working with their engineers and site management teams.

There's no denying it—the field of higher education is undergoing rapid change. Topics such as student debt, the value of postsecondary education, and the impact of technology on learning are now part of the national dialogue and are fodder for news stories every day of the week. But it's time to filter fact from fiction and shine a brighter light on the issues that really matter.
Stamats recently launched a National Poll on the Major Issues Facing Higher Education. Targeted at senior-level college administrators and board members, the survey was designed to identify and prioritize issues central to higher education professionals and the institutions they serve—to reveal challenges, revenue strategies, data resources, and other information crucial to fostering long-term growth and sustainability. What follows is an executive summary of what the survey found.

Toshiba is offering to replace a further 830,000 laptop batteries containing cells made by Sony. The offer covers computers sold worldwide and is separate from a similar announcement made by the company last week.
Toshiba is offering to exchange the batteries to ease customer concerns in the light of several recent high-profile battery recalls, it said.
"There is no safety issue, we will voluntarily exchange the battery pack used in certain notebooks," said Keisuke Ohmori, a spokesman for Toshiba in Tokyo.
The announcement came less than a day after Lenovo Group said it would replace batteries for 526,000 of its laptops sold in 2005 and 2006.
Last week, Toshiba offered to exchange 340,000 notebook batteries because it said they could unexpectedly cut power, causing users to lose unsaved work.
The latest offer covers batteries in the following laptop models: Satellite T10, T11, T12, T20, A50; Tecra M3, M4, M5, M7, S3; Portege S100, M300, M400, M500; Dynabook SS LX, L10, L11, M10, M11, M35, MX, MXW; Dynabook R10; Dynabook TX/2, TX/3, TX4; and Qosmio G30 and F30.
Other models sold only overseas are also covered but were not named by Toshiba in Japan.

Today is the tenth anniversary of Broadvox. From its humble beginnings we are now generating over $100 million in annual revenues, have nearly 300 employees and are recognized as a leader in IP communications. Steady is our progress even during difficult times. I attribute that to our founders and management team. So, congratulations to our founders, Andre Temnorod, Eugene Blumin and Alex Bederman. Congratulations to our employees, partners and our customers. At the Dallas office we are celebrating this momentous occasion with an upscale potluck lunch featuring a lightly smoked then roasted New York Strip with Marsala mushroom au jus and grilled pork loin.
Channel Partners was the best it's been since I joined Broadvox. I have never been so busy meeting with our channel partners, OEMs and business associates. The fast pace of Channel Partners caused the three days to fly by in a blur of activity. While we stopped exhibiting this year, we are conducting education sessions. This year's session was on succeeding in selling hosted communications. The session was well attended with a very interactive audience. Next year we will conduct sessions on Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) and, of course, SIP Trunking. The fast pace of Channel Partners merits your attendance. I hope to see you in Las Vegas in the spring for the next one!

One implication of the Australian media's very hostile reaction to the Gillard Government's mild reform to beef up self-regulation is the notion that democracies must conform to markets.
This market democracy, which is contrasted with political democracy in which the economy is fundamentally subject to democratic authority, has become increasingly ingrained amongst right wing politicians and the media. The further implication is that capitalistic" institutions are the best way not only to respect political and economic liberties, but also to achieve a just society.
Such a conception of market democracy does not recognize the legitimacy of all four common justifications of market regulation: to protect workers from exploitation, to protect consumers, to protect third parties harmed by market transactions (through externalities), and to preserve the stability of the economy or society as a whole (e.g., through regulation of the financial or media sector).
It assumes that free economic activity is a fundamental expression of human freedom and it entails that corporations have a strong right to minimal regulation and that a minimally regulated capitalism leads to indefinite improvement in human well-being.
Media consumers, in being confronted by the deterioration of media services or the performance of media institutions leave or exit leaving because a better good or service is provided by another firm or organization. However they also seek a voice so as to perform the act of complaining, petitioning or protesting, with the intention of achieving a restoration of the quality that has been impaired. Voice and exit thus distinguish the world of politics from the world of the market. The politics of voice is what we call political reform.
The self-regulation by the mainstream press does not provide for a satisfactory process of complaint or protesting because the press corporations control the levers of power to ensure that their interests are protected not the public interest. Hence the need for reform.
We've had a fair look at market forces etc in different parts of the economy and know that political power derives of monopoly.
Too late, when democratic freedoms are abdicated without a reading first of the usually microscopic small print, that never offers a guarantee for what "reform" rosily promises.
promises and no compensation when it fails.
Did I say no compensation?
Take a look at what freedoms peasants in third world oligarchies possess and what happens if they complain.
But there's the thing.
As Joni Mitchell sang in Big Yellow Taxi:
"Dont it always seem to go, that you don't miss what you've got till its gone;
Sold Paradise, put up a parking lot".

Cool. Let's have the government step right back. Totally level playing field... No tax-breaks, no incentives, no subsidies, no industrial arbitration mechanism, no taxpayer-funded transport infrastructure, basic-wage workers unwilling to buy the latest shiny widgets...
Let's see how the corporations like that sort of "just society".

Classical liberals talk tough about the market being the best and sometimes the only way to distribute wealth.
Classic liberal is that strain of liberalism that is "committed to:
(1) a thick conception of economic liberty grounded mainly in consequentialist considerations:
(2) a formal conception of equality that sees the outcome of free market exchanges as largely definitive of justice, and
(3) a limited but important state role in tax-funded education and social service programs."

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards are preparing for landing.
Without question, one of the most highly anticipated events on the industry's calendar, the line-up of artists performing and also nominated this year should whet most music lovers' appetites whatever their persuasion.
Billboard has now released its confirmed slate of artist collaborations and solo artists for the event.
So, to the solo performances:
Justin Bieber will perform "Take You" at the show. A mid-tempo, modern R&B favorite with crowds on his Believe tour.
For the past three months, in particular, the Canadian has been in the headlines either for his exploits on the road or his stormy love life.
Having just completed the first leg of a massively successful but controversy-laden tour, the 19-year-old will likely be looking to pull the focus firmly back onto his music.
Shut out of the 55th Grammy Awards this year, the Billboard Music Awards are also the first major awards event this year for Bieber to make his presence felt. The teen is also one of a trio contending for the Chevrolet sponsored Milestone Award.
Another artist with a little something to prove is Chris Brown. The 24-year-old, who recently revealed his upcoming album X (due July 16) will feature a track "They Don't Know" with vocals from the late Aaliyah, will perform the up-tempo R&B, Michael Jacksonesque "Fine China" at the show.
Selena Gomez will perform the pop single " Come and Get It" from her upcoming summer album Stars Dance. Currently number 4 on iTunes and scoring top 10 positions in a number of Billboard charts, the actress-singer's performance this weekend will likely bump those stats.
Swedish DJ pop duo Icona Pop, will perform brassy pop gem "I Love It," while a Billboard Music Awards debut by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis performing hip-hop curiosity"Thrift Shop" is also on the cards.
Miguel is all over the airwaves right now with Mariah Carey on their new single "#Beautiful," but come Sunday the 27-year-old will unleash neo-classic "Adorn" from his Kaleidoscope album on an no doubt appreciative audience.
Another male solo star who's been up and down Billboard's charts for the past year is Bruno Mars, who'll be bringing the funk to the evening with "Treasure," a surprising cut from his album Unorthodox Jukebox.
Other solo acts will include Taylor Swift performing "22" from her album chart slayerRed. Country star Kacey Musgraves is set to unravel "Merry Go Round," while The Band Perry will deliver "Better Dig Two."
Grammy Award nominated Brit troubadour Ed Sheeran will unwrap his guitar for "Lego House." Prince's song set hasn't yet been revealed, but seeing as he is Billboard's Icon Award recipient this year, only the foolish would bet against it being something worth waiting for.
If, for some unfathomable reason, none of the above tickles, it's unlikely the collaborations will. But, for those who are excited about the team-ups on offer, here they are:
Living up to his promise of "something different" for the show, Bieber and will.i.am will drop electro track "#that power," while Christina Aguilera, the ubiquitous Pitbull and a special guest will throw down "Feel This Moment."
French dance titan David Guetta, Ne-Yo and Akon will drop "Play Hard," while Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull (again) will "Live It Up." Young Money stars Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne will take to the stage with "High School," a cut from Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded -The Re-Up.
In just three days, Billboard's big night touches down and with any luck it will be a riot of music and fun. With over 45 awards to be fought and won, artists from every genre attending, Miley Cyrus, South Korean superstar PSY, Shania Twain, Ke$ha and Hayden Panettiere and more presenting, and Tracy Morgan hosting — this may be one for the ages.
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards will air live from Las Vegas' MGM Grand on Sunday, May 19 on abc at 8/7 c.

Affordable housing advocates often say that housing is a human right—that everyone has the right to a home—but what does this looks like in terms of policy? Local, state, and federal governments have attempted a multitude of low-income affordable housing programs and initiatives, but there are really just three programs that come anywhere near the ideal of guaranteeing affordable housing to all, regardless of their income. These three programs—Public Housing, Housing Choice ("Section 8") Vouchers, and HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing—provide permanent, affordable housing to millions of low-income people without the minimum income requirements seen in many other housing programs. Tenants in these programs are guaranteed to pay no more than 30% of their income in rent and utilities, and anyone making below 80% of AMI (area median income) is eligible (although there are screening policies for former criminals and people with poor rental history). If a tenant's monthly income is a $500 social security check, their rent (utilities included) is $150. If a tenant loses their income, they can immediately lower their rent to the "minimum rent" of $25, which can even be waived in certain cases that qualify as "financial hardship." These programs, all administered by the federal housing agency HUD, are absolutely vital to housing low-income people, especially in high-cost cities like New York. However, in the past few decades, the federal government has effectively cut them off from any additional growth. In New York and other expensive cities, the stagnation in funding for these programs, along with persistent poverty levels and steady population growth has helped precipitate a grave affordable housing crisis, demonstrated most clearly by record levels of homelessness.
In New York City, there are 180,000 units of Public Housing and 120,000 families with Housing Choice Vouchers. These unit numbers have not grown in years and both programs have years-long waiting lists (in fact, NYCHA's HCV waiting list has been closed since 2007). Still, the situation in HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing—the least well known and smallest program of the three (although not by much)—is even more dire. The program has not only stagnated, it has lost large numbers of units. Once topping 100,000, the number of HUD Multifamily units in the city has fallen to about 70,000, with nearly all of this loss occurring in the past 20 years.[i] Under HUD-assisted Multifamily Housing programs, landlords get rent-subsidy contracts tied to their building that expire after a set amount of time. The programs were most active in the '60s to early '80s, and when many of the contracts expired after 30 or 40 years, landlords left the program in high numbers—especially in high-rent areas—and converted their buildings to market rentals or condos, displacing low-income tenants. In 1997, in an effort to curb this loss of units, Congress passed legislation that allowed owners to "mark-up-to-market" if they renew their building's contract, increasing the rents of their subsidy to be comparable to the market rents of the area. To better protect tenants in buildings whose contracts expire, legislation was passed to provide tenants in this situation with voucher assistance to use in their building or elsewhere. Still, with New York City's housing market hotter than ever, the temptation for landlords to shed their HUD contracts remains strong. And although tenants in opt-out buildings are protected from displacement by compensatory voucher assistance, once they move or pass away, their apartment becomes unregulated, further dwindling the city's affordable housing stock.
In the early 1990s, the National Alliance of HUD Tenants (NAHT) was founded by HUD Multifamily Tenants in order to give tenants a platform for self-advocacy. Since then, the organization—which is the only nation-wide tenant union in the US—has been instrumental in expanding tenants' rights and protecting tenants from displacement. Since the mid-2000s, UHAB organizers have been working closely with the National Alliance of HUD Tenants to preserve HUD-Assisted Multifamily Housing through tenant organizing and advocacy. In recent years, UHAB has greatly helped NAHT expand its capacity in New York City, recruiting tenant groups to affiliate with NAHT and empowering tenants to advocate on their own behalf to their landlords and HUD administrators for the preservation of this vital program. To learn more about the issues surrounding HUD Multifamily Housing and ways to get involved, visit NAHT's website, www.saveourhomes.org, or the National Low-Income Housing Coalition, http://nlihc.org/issues/project-based.

LONDON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- British researchers say they've identified a gene that may link brain structure -- particularly the thickness of its gray matter -- to intelligence.
Scientists at King's College London have been looking at the cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the human brain known as "gray matter," which plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language and consciousness.
Although previous studies have suggested the thickness of the cerebral cortex closely correlates with intellectual ability, no gene linked to that structural thickness had yet been identified, they said.
In the study, DNA samples and MRI scans from 1,583 healthy 14-year-olds showed those who carried a particular gene variant had a thinner cortex in the left cerebral hemisphere, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes, and performed less well on tests for intellectual ability.
"The genetic variation we identified is linked to synaptic plasticity -- how neurons communicate," study lead author Sylvane Desrivieres said. "This may help us understand what happens at a neuronal level in certain forms of intellectual impairments, where the ability of the neurons to communicate effectively is somehow compromised."
She cautioned against putting too much emphasis on the gene variation in terms of human intellectual performance.
"It's important to point out that intelligence is influenced by many genetic and environmental factors," she said. "The gene we identified only explains a tiny proportion of the differences in intellectual ability, so it's by no means a 'gene for intelligence.'"

Why did you choose red tape?
Red tape symbolizes the institutional barriers preventing students from creating the safe and inclusive environment necessary to put a stop to sexual violence and fully support survivors. This show of solidarity echoes those at Columbia and Brown's commencements and comes amidst national mobilization on the issue of adequate and just responses to sexual violence.
Why are you doing a disruptive protest?
This protest is not disruptive. Our action is a symbolic show of support for peers whose time at Harvard has been marred by a horrific form of violence and some of whom have not received the support from Harvard to which they have a right. There will be no interrupting, no chanting, and no signs. This is a respectful gesture of solidarity for survivors, celebration of the work done by the senior class to bring attention to the issue of sexual violence, and call of urgency for the work that needs to be continued to create a safer campus.
What are you trying to accomplish?
By wearing red tape, we hope to show graduates, guests, and alumni that while we are proud Harvard graduates, we proudly call for productive dialogue about the prevalence of sexual assault on our campus and the inadequacy of Harvard's institutional response. As we celebrate our time here over the past four years, we also demonstrate our belief that Harvard can do better.
Why are you dampening what is supposed to be a joyous occasion?
Commencement is a wonderful moment for graduates and their families to celebrate their hard work and academic achievements. However, there is more to a Harvard education than what occurs in the classroom. We wear red to celebrate the leadership that the senior class has taken in striving to build a fairer and safer world – starting with survivors of sexual violence and other marginalized communities here at Harvard. Their work and achievements are also part of their education, and ought to be commended on this joyous day.
How can I participate?
Just place a stripe of red duct tape on your graduation cap for Commencement Day ceremonies! Tape can be acquired from a representative in your house at breakfast on Thursday morning, or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

It was my friend's birthday and I wanted to make her a mint chocolate cake because she loves that combo. I might be the only one who's not a big fan, but it wasn't MY birthday, was it? I've been wanting to make something from the Baked booked ever since I got it a few months ago, and it was perfect because it has a recipe for Grasshopper Pie. I deleted the alcohol (my friend is expecting), subbed the shortening with butter, and halved the recipe for a nice 6 inch, 3 tiered cake.
Check out the verdict at the end of the post!
Mint Chocolate Layer Cake
Chocolate Cake Layers
¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons of dark cocoa powder
½ cup + 2 Tablespoons hot coffee
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1/2 + 2 Tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
¾ cup sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 ½ eggs, room temp (1/2 egg = 2 Tablespoons)
½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Line bottom of 3, 6-inch pans with parchment, and butter and flour the sides.
3. In a bowl, combine cocoa, coffee, and sour cream. Mix and set a sided.
4. In a medium bowl, sift flour baking powder, and baking soda.
5. Beat butter in a stand mixer with paddle attachment until fluffy. Add sugars, and beat for 5 minutes.
6. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until mixed.
7. Add flour and coffee mixture alternately to butter mixture in 3 additions, beating until just combined after each addition.
8. Put into pans and bake for 33 minutes. Cool in pans for 20 minutes before cooling on racks.
*I made a head of time and froze them. This makes them really moist.
|After baking.
Mint Buttercream
1 cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar
¼ cup flour
1 cup + 2 Tablespoons milk
¼ cup heavy/whipping cream
1 ¼ cup salted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green gel food colouring
¼ cup finely chopped chocolate (to add to final coat of buttercream)
Day 1
1. In a medium saucepan, mix flour, sugar, and milk.
2. Cook over medium heat whisking continuously until it comes to a boil and has thickened.
3. Pour into a bowl and place plastic wrap directly onto the mixture. Cool in the fridge overnight.
Day 2
4. In a stand mixer, whip the thickened flour with a whisk attachment.
5. Add butter one tablespoon at a time. Beat until combine and smooth (it took me 30 minutes).
6. Add peppermint and green food colouring.
Mint Chocolate Ganache
3 oz dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ cup heavy/whipping cream
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
1. Put chopped chocolate in a bowl.
2. Bring cream to a simmer and pour over chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir to incorporate.
3. Add peppermint extract.
1. Place first layer of cake on a plate/board.
2. Spread half the ganache on top.
3. Spread some buttercream on top.
4. Place second layer of cake on top, and repeat.
5. Cover entire cake with a layer of buttercream and put in fridge for a few minutes to firm up.
6. Mix finely chopped chocolate to remaining buttercream and spread on entire cake. Decorate and serve.
Verdict: Even though I'm not a fan of mint chocolate, this cake was pretty good. I really liked the chocolate cake – very moist, strong chocolate flavour, and not too sweet. I had mixed feelings about the frosting – it was fluffy and not too sweet, but as with every time I make a cooked frosting, it curdled a bit after sitting for a few minutes. It took 30 minutes to come together, and it was nice and smooth, but started to split. I'm not sure why this happens to me – I know others don't have this problem. Luckily, my friend loved the cake and was totally surprised! The boyfriend said that it tasted just like the mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Reindeer Delivery.. Is This Possible?!?!
What do you think??? Do reindeers exclusively belong to Santa Claus.. We guess they were not content with the ordinary delivery so Dominos are now training reindeers to heft its pizzas across the island Hokkaido this Christmas.
Have you ever thought about reindeer delivery until now? We haven't either.
It's actually something that can only appear on a film yet Domino seems very serious about this idea.
The company still has no specific answers or comments about this yet in a recent press release it is known that they are working with the reindeer breeders in order to get them ready for the cold weather. A full scale reindeer delivery roll out is expected in of course December.
It is also know that every reindeer will be fitted with its own GPS tracker. This is for the reason of live tracking. You can also track live how for your delivery is like you can now with the normal delivery.
Another interesting thing is that the company produced a detailed action plan. For the bags that will be on the reindeers and the way that the reindeer delivery is going to work.
Yet there are various agencies in Japan that predicted a very cold winter for Japan. Or as they say the winter this year will be "particularly cold" . This is because this November in the capital of Japan, Tokyo fell snow for the first time after 54 years. And Hokkaido winters are way colder than the ones in Tokyo. The temperature in that area is almost always below 20 degrees.
Just last month Domino's Enterprise presented their new drone delivery system in New Zealand. The company also stated that they plan to be the first company that ever launched drone delivery.
Yet, reindeer delivery is way cooler and we can't wait to see if it will be done.

Bed bugs weren't something to be concerned about in the United States a few decades ago. Reported cases in the United States were few and far between, and it wasn't something people worried about when they purchased second hand furniture or traveled. Unfortunately, bed bugs are becoming more and more common in all areas of the country, and they aren't strangers to even five-star hotels and the most spotless homes. So how did these pests become so prevalent in our country?
Bed bugs have become more resilient to pesticides, making them harder to kill. They were so scarce decades ago because pest control experts were using much harsher pesticides…which weren't just impacting the bed bug population. Pets and humans were effected by the pesticides, which caused cancer, birth defects, and more. Those dangerous pesticides were quickly banned, but it allowed the bed bug population to grow. People began traveling more in the recent decades, visiting places where bed bugs were more common and bringing them back home with them. It only takes a few bed bugs to start a massive infestation, and they can spread undetected quickly.
Whatever brought beg bugs to North Carolina, if you find them in your home you want them gone–now. That's why you need to call Ray Pest Control. We offer free inspection to confirm the presence of bed bugs and give you a free quote on getting rid of them. Then we get to work getting them out of your home. We offer chemical and non-chemical solutions including heat treatments, and all of our methods are extremely effective. We back up our pest control work with a money back guarantee so you can count on our service to kill all of the bed bugs in your home!

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is well known for their HDTV rear projection sets. Chances are that you have seen those models that utterly dominate large living rooms, and look similar to big square-like boxes that, if hollowed out, could accommodate a family of rottweilers. Those large monsters, in which the picture quality never looked very good from an angle, will soon be relegated to museums, because rear projectors are getting thinner at a fast clip. Now, Mitsubishi is pioneering a new way to approach the rear projection HDTV-they are using Lasers! With this new idea from Mitsubishi, a RPTV (Rear Projection Television) is transformed because a Laser replaces the usual mercury lamp in the rear of the set. The model is still considered a DLP (Digital Light Projection) but the light comes from red, green and blue Lasers! LASER, which stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation is a technology discovered in the late fifties and is already used in CD players and printers. Albert Einstein knew about the amazing things that photons could do when stimulated in the right ways. The pure, coherent light provided by the Laser is expected to nearly double the colors available with today's best LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) High Definition television sets! The picture quality will be enhanced over any existing rear projector. In addition, this new idea will not a require a color wheel because the Laser can be turned off and on quickly enough to provide for changes in color for the display.
Mitsubishi expects these new Laser sets to be just over 25 centimeters deep (around 10 inches). Therefore, they will be able to compete in slimness of design with some plasma and LCD models. It may be around two years before this technology is available to the consumer, but it will make quite a splash when it hits the market. The President of Mitsubishi said recently, "We want to release the product on the market in two years by creating a mass-production line capable of being run on a commercial basis." The staggering fact is that Laser technology is fully capable of producing a better picture than either Plasma or LCD. Of course, improvements in those technologies should not be underestimated, but the race is on. Just like during the Internet bubble, there are a number of competing technologies, and it is too early to discern whether DLP will beat LCD, or Laser will reign over Plasma. Stay tuned to see the outcomes, for there is no known oracle that will spoil the ending for us and it is getting more interesting all the time. While some consumer goods such as CD players and laser printers have made use of the laser, this would be the first commercial production of Laser light powering a HDTV display.

Kings send injured Quick back to Los Angelesby Joe Yerdon
BUFFALO -- Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick likely suffered a hamstring or groin-related injury during overtime of their game Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres and has left the team's road trip.
"We sent Jonathan back to Los Angeles to see our doctors," coach Darryl Sutter said after the Kings practiced Wednesday in Buffalo, where they lost 3-2 in a shootout. "Our trainers think it's either a hamstring or groin-related, so it's a muscle [injury]. He's not going to play on this trip, so he might as well be home and we make sure we know what it is and then go from there."
Quick was in obvious discomfort when play was stopped with 1:20 remaining in OT. It appeared he sustained a lower-body injury sliding across the crease about 30 seconds earlier as the Sabres rushed toward the goal.
After briefly skating out of his crease during the stoppage, he went down to his knees, bringing the Kings trainer onto the ice, and went to the dressing room. Ben Scrivens played the rest of the overtime and the shootout, in which the Sabres scored twice.
Scrivens will start Thursday against the New York Islanders. The Kings called up goalie Martin Jones from the American Hockey League and he will meet the team in New York.
Thank you to everyone's get well wishes, I will do everything I can to get back to 100% and back on the ice as soon as possible— Jonathan Quick (@JonathanQuick32) November 13, 2013

I can say that it is the idea of having no time to write, or I can say that its because my computer is now upstairs and I cant get my fat ass up there but really, I blame instagram and well my laziness.
So to kick my self into gear I am going to take that nablopomo challenge and blog every day in November. OMG, ITS TOTALLY GOING BE LIKE AWESOME! OH MY GOSH! DUH!
So be prepared my friends (if your still there) for some posts. okay well like a lot of posts.
Oh by the way HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Tonight, I am having my bestie and her hubster over with my hubster and we are going to eat chili and then take the kiddos out to trick or treat like how we did in the old days… By going DOOR to DOOR (I so hate those trunk or treats. lame. safe but lame.) So we are excited!

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and it wasn't a disappointment. The only disappointment is the fact that the next book isn't out yet.
I feel as though the characters, Ever and Daman and even the twins Romy and Rayne are like friends, people I know. I suppose that shows how talented a writer Alison Noel is.
