My current partition table looks like this: So you have GRUB. GRUB knows the command "initrd" (I never tried it though). The process should be something like this: On the GRUB command line load the kernel from the rescue disk: grub> kernel (fd0)/linux (I don't really know whats the name of the kernel, but GRUB has tab-completion... Also, there are probably some kernel Options, which syslinux suplies by default) Next, put the root disk in, and try something like: grub> initrd (fd0)+2880 grub> boot Or have the root.bin on some partition and simply load it from there: grub> initrd (hd0,$a)/path/to/root.bin grub> boot You should put the drivers.tgz somewhere where you can acces it later. Of course, there are higher level methods of installing Debian directly from RedHat, but I am not the one, who can tell you about that. I hope this helps (and works) in your case, but I guess it would be hard to turn this into a general method. The tricky part would be to get grub going from Windows ME without a floppy drive.

According to the Treasury Department's popular Treasury International Capital System (TICS) report, official foreign holdings of Treasury securities fell to $4.009 trillion in June from $4.072 trillion in May.
So it would seem that the world's central banks are exiting U.S. securities.
"There are, however, many problems with such an interpretation, and in fact it seems likely that the world's central banks are increasing their allocations to US assets," wrote UBS's Paul Donovan in a brief research note today.
He identifies three issues with TICS, which we paraphrase:
- The data is calculated using market prices, which means the value of holdings are subject to fluctuations in the market. "The weakening of the Treasury market in June will have reduced the figures for bond holdings, without telling us anything about official transactions in Treasuries," wrote Donovan.
- Foreign currency reserves aren't held just in government bonds, especially since the 1970s. "In 2013 16% of participants could hold equities, 54% could hold agencies, and a surprising 26% could hold bank debt, to give just three examples of assets that official money has diversified into," said Donovan citing a proprietary survey of reserve managers. "Focusing too narrowly on bond transactions is to miss the fact that central banks are behaving more like conventional institutional investors. "
- The TICS data is not comprehensive. According to a 2013 UBS survey, 52% of reserve managers used external managers. "Even though the beneficial owner of the assets is a foreign official institution, that fact can not be captured by the TICS data collection process," said Donovan. "Instead, the external manager will be recorded as the owner of the assets." Donovan estimates this miss out on "roughly a fifth of official holdings of U.S. assets."
"Investors who try to use the TICS data as a guide to currency intervention by emerging market central banks are likely to be misled," said Donovan.
That's the gist of Donovan's note.
But he also has a message for all of us in financial media:
...there is a worry arising from the interpretation of the TICS data. The US Treasury may have been clear about the limitations of the TICS numbers, but the detailed explanations do not appear to have been heard in what might be termed the "economic blogsphere". The 'armchair economist' who offers casual opinion online and via email may be seduced by the data description "foreign official holdings of US Treasuries" into believing that the data does actually show comprehensive foreign official holdings of US Treasuries - when of course it does not. The role of non-expert opinion in financial markets has been growing in recent years. The considerable complexity (and equally considerable gaps in knowledge) that surround the Treasury's reporting of official holdings of US assets could lead to the dissemination of well intentioned misinformation...

A big worry among people trying to wipe out polio is that the virus will regain a foothold, somewhere to launch a comeback -- someplace, perhaps, like

There have been 22 new cases reported since the last ProMED-mail update on 14 Jun 2013, raising the global total of confirmed cases from 55 to 77. Sadly, the majority of newly confirmed cases are in countries that had been previously polio free --
The concerns about the possibility of expanded outbreaks occurring in other countries where wild poliovirus (WPV) transmission has been interrupted are real concerns. The continued occurrence of circulating vaccine derived poliovirus (cVDPV) cases serves as an indicator of suboptimal vaccination coverage in the areas, and these areas serve as foci where transmission of the WPV can continue.

How to Build Your Following on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat
In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner and online marketing expert Michelle Held explains to build up your followers on the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and Snapchat.
"Do not buy fake followers in any of these situations," she says. "It doesn't do you any good. Sure, it builds up that number and looks inflated, but it's not going to make those sales and it's not going to get the metrics that you want."
Instead, Held recommends posting relevant content two to three times a week -- but you don't want to drown out your visitors by posting too often. And don't bee too sales-y, either.
"If' you're a gym, and you're trying to get gym memberships, you could post inspirational quotes related to the industry," she says.

Citta Design // Tokyo collection
Friday, 20 April 2012
It's been very rainy this week but I haven't minded it! My mum recently gave me this most gorgeous umbrella (which looks even better in real life) and Leo and I have been covered in wonderful colour (he loves it as much as me and giggles everytime we're using it) It's by Citta Design and on closer inspection I found that in fact all of their new Tokyo collection is pretty special... dangerously special!
2 comments:
Your site is adorable, color-filled & enjoyable Emily, this in particular caught my eye (well actually through F/Keepers on Twitter!) Lived in Tokyo 5 years & became incredibly style-conscious (in my mind only, not in presentation, one can only try!) Love Citta design & the Washi/Origami-esque influence is apparel-apparent! & oh so lovely......Heavenly day to you & thanx for the pretty post.ReplyDelete

I'm having issues at the moment, with family members as well as personal things. Mostly my weight :( and complete lack of confidence and jealously over people who are fat and full of confidence! HOW DO THEY DO THAT? I've been trying to be more confident, but I've been finding it really draining... maybe I'm just too lazy to be confident. I have been feeling really down and tired over the past week or two. One of my close friends is moving away, no more movies nights with her :(
I have decided to do a pic spam and hopefully cheer myself up a little :D

Anker has a history of making excellent budget wireless speakers. While we weren't entirely impressed with the Anker SoundCore 2's sound, we couldn't be too mad since the speaker was so affordable.
So what happens if you can stretch your budget a bit more to $60 (£70, about AU$123)? For that price, you get the Anker Soundcore Flare, an excellent waterproof Bluetooth speaker that can stand toe-to-toe with the competition.
After spending several weeks with the Anker Soundcore Flare, we came away very impressed with what Anker achieved for the price: The Flare offers balanced sound, a tough waterproof build, a lightshow when you want, and an excellent user experience. For the money, this little speaker is a steal. Here's why.
The design of the Anker Soundcore Flare mashes up with some of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market. It has the shape of the Bose SoundLink Revolve Mini, the cloth texture of the UE Wonderboom, and the light show of the JBL Pulse 3.
Design-wise, the speaker is slightly shorter than the Revolve Mini and taller than the UE Wonderboom making it portable enough but not as easy to travel with as the Wonderboom or something like the Miniring Mini.
Build quality is very good and the Flare feels like it can put up with some abuse. While the speaker feels rugged, the UE Wonderboom feels like you can play American football with it, making it our choice for taking outdoors.
Speaking of the outdoors, the Soundcore Flare is IPX7 rated, which means you can dunk it and not worry about it, making it an excellent speaker to take to the pool or beach. There's no loop for a carabiner like the UE Wonderboom which makes the Flare slightly more cumbersome to carry around hiking outdoors.
On top of the speaker you get controls for music playback, the RGB LED and a bass boost button. Pressing the light button cycles through various modes while a long-press will shut off the lights. On the back of the speaker you'll find the power and pairing button along with a rubber flap protecting the 3.5mm jack and microUSB charging port.
The bottom of the speaker features a rugged rubber base and a light ring. The LEDs can be set to pulse with your music to create a light show or can be switched to a soothing breathing mode. You can switch light modes either by cycling through them with the light button up top or from the mobile app. The app also allows you to adjust the EQ and toggle the Bass Up feature.
Sound quality of the Anker Soundcore Flare is overall balanced but highs can sound a bit harsh at times when the EQ is set to flat. Enabling the Bass Up feature helps bass response a tiny bit but the effect is very subtle. In fact, all of the EQ presets are quite subtle, shifting the tonal balance of the speaker slightly.
That being said, for its size the Anker Soundcore Flare can get loud and produces admirable bass. With the Bass Up feature enabled, we find the Flare produces slightly more bass than the UE Wonderboom but both lack the visceral impact that larger speakers provide. Similarly, highs are a bit uncontrolled and sound harsh at times, especially at high volumes. There's slight distortion so those who like to listen to music loudly will want to invest in a larger speaker.
Battery life is rated at around 12 hours and will depend largely on volume level and the brightness of the LEDs. With the LEDs set to medium intensity and listening at 50% volume, we managed to get around 8 hours. However, you can stretch the battery life by disabling the light show entirely.
The Soundcore Flare is an amazing value in the sub-$100 wireless speaker segment. Competitors like the UE Wonderboom give the Flare a run for its money in terms of build quality but we give the Flare the slight edge with sound quality. However, the Wonderboom is more rugged and can be clipped to a bag.
For the money, we can't think of a speaker that offers a better balance of features, build quality and sound. While other speakers may sound better, you're going to have to spent much more money. Is it worth the $20 premium over the Soundcore 2? Absolutely. We recommend the Flare for anyone looking for a wireless speaker that can do it all without breaking the bank. Highly recommended.

Learn how to exercise safely, strengthen your prolapse and reduce your risk of prolapse worsening.
Prolapse Exercises is a complete exercise guide for women with prolapse seeking to exercise safely and protect their pelvic floor.
What is a Prolapsed Bowel?
Bowel prolapse is also known as posterior vaginal wall prolapse or rectocoele
This type of prolapse occurs when the lower part of the bowel (rectum) moves forwards into the back wall of the vagina. Bowel movement problems such as straining with constipation and chronic diarrhoea can cause a prolapsed bowel.
Bowel Prolapse Symptoms
Some of the commonly occurring bowel prolapse symptoms include:
- Visible bulge at the entrance of the vagina
- Sensation of pelvic floor heaviness or vaginal fullness
- Symptoms more noticeable with an impending bowel movement or following a bowel movement
- Difficulty emptying the bowel completely (incomplete emptying)
- Constipation
Some women do not experience prolapse symptoms despite having a prolapse.
Bowel Prolapse Therapy
Non-surgical treatment can alleviate prolapse symptoms and reduce the risk of prolapse worsening. Bowel prolapse recovery techniques include:
- Training pelvic floor muscle strength and support
- Training correct bowel emptying position and technique
- Training pelvic floor relaxation for bowel emptying
- Dietary modification to improve stool consistency
- Managing coexisting general health problems
- Modification of lifestyle factors
- Fitting a support pessary

Hi all ,
As i wrote in my previous article that you can find here : CallViaPhoneAdvanced , this plugin is developed for SNOM phone and Lync 2010/2013 and permit to control the phone with right click on a contact in Lync (Lync contacts, Outlook contacts , Active Directory contacts) and start calls directly from the phone, like CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) .
We know that in WPC 2013 , SNOM demonstrate Enhanced Better Together that could be available at the end of 2013 , in Matt Landis blogpost here , you can find a detailed description. This new SNOM feature add a new driver in Lync that let you choose what default Audio device use for every call that you made from lync , these calls start from the phone , also when you receive a call you pick up the call from the phones and not from the client (if you have already configured the snom audio device in Lync down- left menu ), but a good things is that you when you are in conversation , you can switch this call between Lync client and snom phone.
So what's the difference between CallViaPhoneAdvanced and SNOM EBT ? There are more than one difference and benefits :
- CallViaPhone Advanced doesn't not require Lync user to have Enterprise voice for Outgoing call functionality (for example if you use snom phone connected to other vendors like asterisk, cisco ,etc.. and you use Lync with or without PBX integration )
- When you start a call , if you want to decide call per call which phone use (snom phone or lync client) with CallViaPhoneAdvanced you can.
- CallViaPhone Advanced allows future customization and it's in continuous developing (Programming Phone keys, full interaction with any functionality available on the Phone)
Thanks to Michael LaMontagne, a very skilled Lync Expert in Canada , i also develop the incoming call feature that let you to answer an inbound call from the phone, this simple adding another toast in left side of Lync toast with an "Answer by Phone" button, simply and immediate for user experience. But starting from this imagine how many customization we can implement :
- when and incoming call arrive, start an external application with caller information (CRM?)
- Busy on second call or based on presence status
In addition i want to encourage who want try the application (15 days limited) to download from link below :
For last version please refer to this post.
if you want to learn more you can find an awesome review here made by Michael LaMontagne.
Don't hesitate to comment or ask information about it .

|Mulberry AW 2011 Catalogue
|AW 2011 Campaign Shots- rich burgundy and decadent textures
This morning, after my usual jaunt to Waitrose to pick up some papers, I was greeted at the kitchen table by an espresso and the A/W11 Mulberry catalogue. My morning was made.
The Mulberry catalogues are always absolutely gorgeous- the inspirations for the collections are always very apparent in the little booklets. This one is a stylish little black book with a lovely pretty leaf detailing relating to the countryside-inspired range of mossy hued handbags and rich shades.
The collection itself is drool-worthy. I have often said that i'm not really big on handbags, with Mulberry being the only exception. When I got my Higher exam results I was torn between a laptop and Mulberry Alexa- guess which I opted for? But a tragic accident involving my Sparkle Tweed model and a brand new pair of jeans left my dad pretty angry and a full refund demanded! So I decided i'd take the laptop and make do and mend with a natty Next replica!
Each of Emma Hill's collections seems to top the last, and this season is no different. My lust list is topped by the "Short Polly Push Lock Duffle in Deer Brown Sheepskin"- a jacket that looks as cosy as a cuddle yet still oh so cool, closely followed by the brown quilted Alexa and the new 'it' bag that goes by the name of 'Carter'!
I came down to earth with a thud when tucked in the back page was the price list... We can always dream.
|My lust list from the catalogue
|A couple more gorgeous Mulberry pieces- this coat will have ruined all high street efforts for me. Why wasn't I born rich?

Zenwalk, a Slackware-based slim-and-zippy distribution, released a major update last month. The release announcement listed some noticeable enhancements and promised the best support for Wi-Fi you can expect in any Linux distro. Excuse me for being skeptic, but one doesn't expect midget distros to be the best in any field. How well can a single-CD 469MB distro hold up against every other multi-GB DVD distro available today? As it turns out, Zenwalk manages to squeeze in a long list of open source wireless drivers, as well as the proprietary Intel wireless device firmware. Surprisingly Zenwalk 5.0 not only does things you don't expect from a single CD distro, it does them with ease and very little command-line sorcery.
Zenwalk is based on the mature and respected Slackware Linux. It's popular for its one-task-one-app approach to limiting the number of bundled apps. The distro performs respectably on dated hardware by selecting low-resource apps wherever possible, such as the Xfce desktop.
Zenwalk 5.0 runs atop a recent stable release of the kernel (188.8.131.52). According to its release announcement, this is the first Zenwalk release that includes the freedesktop.org Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). In terms of software, it packs the latest X.Org 7.3 suite of X Window software, Iceweasel Web browser, Icedove email client, Pidgin for instant messaging, AbiWord word processor, Gnumeric spreadsheet, GIMP image manipulator, GMPlayer media player, streamtuner Internet stream browser, and more; all accessible from menus under Xfce 4.4.2. The window manager has grown more sophisticated in recent releases and helps distros that use it appear more professional.
Zenwalk's install is text-based, much like Slackware's. There's no package selection -- just specify a partition and let it install. To make things simpler, there is an auto-install option, which takes care of the partitioning if you want to install Zenwalk over an entire disk. It took about 20 minutes to install on my 1.3GHz IBM laptop. Zenwalk also ran (actually flew) without any issues on a 2.0GHz E4400 desktop, and looked great on the 1280x1025 17-inch LCD monitor. Although I didn't install Zenwalk's boot loader (instead adding the distro to my existing GRUB software) it's one of the few distros that still uses the LILO boot loader.
The distro seems to be a little flaky when it comes to the Num Lock key. You have to make sure Num Lock is off before you enter your password if you are using a laptop where certain keys double up for the absent numeric keypad. On my laptop, Zenwalk always had the Num Lock light on, despite the key being switched off. All other lights indicated their states properly.
The first thing that pops up when you've installed Zenwalk is the GNU GPLv2 license, followed by licenses for the Intel PRO wireless firmware. I have an old Linksys PCMCIA wireless adapter on the laptop that worked out of the box with Zenwalk. Getting the unsupported PCI wireless card on the desktop and a Linksys USB wireless adapter working wasn't much work, since Zenwalk packs Ndiswrapper. Just point it to your proprietary .inf drivers and you're in business. The other wireless-related improvement in this release is the Wicd network manager. Like everything Zenwalk, Wicd is lightweight, and has a simple folding interface that accepts your WEP/WPA keys and lets you run scripts when you're connected or disconnected to the router.
Though Zenwalk detects wireless hardware, it failed to detect and load my onboard wired Ethernet adapter. I had to manually load the module for the card (
modprobe e100) to get it working. For the wireless cards that were powered via Ndiswrapper, I had to change the WPA Supplicant Driver to Ndiswrapper within Wicd's preferences to get Wicd to list the wireless interface.
Zenwalk provides three interesting system tools. lshw is a hardware lister that provides detailed information about every piece of hardware on the machine. grsync provides a front end to rysnc so you can use it as a backup tool. The netpkg package manager is one of the things that separates Zenwalk from Slackware, because, unlike Slackware's pkgtool, it resolves dependencies. For a small distro, Zenwalk's repository mirrors have a variety of software, from productivity apps like the current openoffice-2.3.1 suite to games such as OpenArena. The only drawback is that the package manager doesn't arrange apps in logical categories that new users can identify with (such as Office, Games, or window managers), but rather in Slackware-style groups (such as a, ap, extra/a, xap). If you're looking for a particular application, the easiest way to find it is to use the search bar in the package manager. The size of the apps is listed in KB, and the package manager doesn't break the dependency list into required dependencies and installed dependencies, but it's not hard to overlook these annoyances.
All my USB devices (including pen drives, camera, and USB-to-PS/2 converters) were cleanly mounted thanks to the new HAL system. One 80GB USB disk was NTFS formatted, but Zenwalk wrote files on it without complaining. It also played MP3, OGG, AVI, MPG, and FLV files, extracted RAR archives, and let me view PDF and edit DOC documents, straight out of the box. The browser can play Flash video once it gets the right plugin, which it will fetch and install on its own when you visit a Web site that requires Flash. File associations seem to be set perfectly. Using the right-click context menu you can create an archive of selected files, calculate their MD5sum (which pops up in a new window), or burn them to a disk using the Brasero CD/DVD burner.
While Zenwalk can mount all sorts of disks and partitions on them, you have to manually define mount points for mounting local partitions on the hard disk during installation. Additionally, local NTFS partitions are mounted read-only, so you have to edit /etc/fstab to make them writeable.
For a single-CD distro, Zenwalk 5.0 packs quite a punch. It's light, it's zippy, and it has all the everyday applications a desktop user would need. It still isn't the best distro for users who shun the command line. But since I'm used to the command line after years of running Linux, Zenwalk 5.0 is staying on all my machines.

These man-hating feminists hate men so much that they troll the gay missed connections on craigslist so that they can cyber-bully a man who is looking for another man.
But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, look at how fat this woman is, of course she's a man-hating feminist.

Feminists would rather make fun of a gay man instead of helping this girl find a man:
Wonder Woman Seeks Guy in Lime Green T-Shirt (NYCC Oct 11th) - w4m - 27 (Midtown West)
"We met at ComicCon Friday, on line for the Jim Henson panel around 8:15. I was dressed as Wonder Woman with my friend who was dressed as Super Girl. You had a lime-green t-shirt (possibly green lantern) and light jeans on. I tripped into you and you were sweet to me. You told us you didn't dress up because you wouldn't have compared to us. I wish we had a chance to speak more, I hope you read this :)"

If you're a parent, you've experienced, or are about to experience, the remarkable process of your child learning how to speak. Babies' brains are like sponges, and from birth, they are paying close attention to the tones, pronunciation, and sounds that we make when we speak to them, then filing this information away until they are ready to start verbalizing.
I recently watched a fascinating TED Talk by a woman named Patricia Kuhl, who holds a PhD in speech science and psychology and studies the process of language acquisition in babies. In her talk, Kuhl explains that unlike adults, who are "language-bound listeners" and therefore cannot differentiate between sounds in other languages, babies are masters at doing precisely this until they reach the age of about 10 months old. In fact, a child's ability to pick up languages is strongest between birth and 7 years of age, which makes early childhood the optimal time to teach your child multiple languages if you want them to become fluent speakers.
When my daughter Rainbow was born, Pasquale and I decided that we wanted her to learn how to speak French in tandem with English. I set about doing a ton of research on the benefits of teaching your child 2 languages at the same time. Learning that bilingual children have been shown to have better problem-solving skills, better social and communication skills, better memories, and a more holistic understanding and appreciation of other cultures only increased my resolve to raise Rainbow bilingually.
I'll admit it – the prospect of teaching her two languages simultaneously was daunting since I am not fluent myself, but now that we've figured out our strategy for making this dream a reality, I've put together a list of tips for other parents who are about to embark on this exciting journey but aren't quite sure where to start.
Movies, Games, TV Shows, Oh My!
In this age of technology, there are a number of great tools available online to help you teach your child a second language. You can download language games for her to play on the computer or a tablet, find and purchase movies and TV shows for children in other languages that she can watch during TV time, and download music in the new language that you can listen (and dance) to together during bonding time.
I am a strong advocate of using the process of teaching a second language to also teach your child that learning is fun. Creating a positive association with education early on will make your child more intellectually curious and excited about expanding her horizons for the rest of her life.
Use Bedtime Stories To Your Advantage
In an earlier post, I wrote about the importance of reading to your child at bedtime, which happens to be the optimal time for knowledge absorption. Reading together will not only make your child an enthusiastic book lover – it will also provide you quality time during which you can start to familiarize your child with the way words are spelled in her second language, which will assist her in becoming fully fluent eventually.
Don't Bite Your Tongue
In the Patricia Kuhl TED Talk I linked to above, she discusses a fascinating experiment that demonstrated the importance of talking to your baby in their second language in addition to playing them movies and TV shows. When babies participated in a controlled study to find out what role their language instructor played in their lingual development, it was proven that in order for the babies to really master the development of sound, they had to engage with a real person in a face-to-face interaction. Audio alone and video alone were both inadequate – learning only took place when a teacher who was physically in the room with the babies spoke to them directly.
This shows that since language is fundamentally about communication, a baby's social brain must be engaged for her to actually soak up information. If you are bilingual, then speak to your child in your native tongue. This will improve her comprehension of the pronunciation, grammar and slang that is used in real conversation outside of the classroom. If you don't speak the language that your baby is learning, think about hiring a babysitter or au pair who is a native speaker to only speak to the child in her second language. This way, your child will become facile at switching back and forth between languages, and she will master the concept of "object permanence," or understanding that an object can exist even if you can't see it, more quickly than her monolingual peers.
That said, if hiring a caretaker is not an option, look into tapping into a network of parents and children who are going through the experience of learning the same language and start making friends, both for you and for your child. Finally, if you are seeking total immersion, consider enrolling your child in a school that is conducted exclusively in their second language.
Time to Redecorate
Children are very observant and easily-influenced, which is why a great way of introducing their second language to their environment is by purchasing posters, placemats, and other decorations in that language to put up in your house. Looking at a different alphabet or simple drawings that are labeled in another language on a daily basis will help cement those fundamental pieces of knowledge in your child's brain and cause her to draw positive associations between the happiness of being at home with her family and learning her second language.
There are many more tips for raising a bilingual child, but following these should help start you off on the right foot. If you go into the process with a strategy in mind and endless support for your child, then before you know it, she'll be teaching you how to speak her second language, instead of the other way around. Bonne chance!

Al-Qaeda Terror Tape in English
ABC News aired snips of the newest terror tape earlier this evening. I don't yet know what to think of it. I've been looking around on the web for the full 75 minute version but it doesn't seem to be available yet. It was released in Pakistan last week, almost certainly timed close to the election. Currently I am of two minds on it.
One, this is a sign of Al Qaeda's operational weakness. Of course they would rather hit us with an attack that with a warning, not matter how articulate and well-produced. They do not have the capability to lauch an attack close to the election so they release this tape as a poor substitute.
Two, the tape is a prelude to a serious attack. Previous attacks have been preceeded by messages from al-Zawahiri or bin Laden. This tape included Arabic subtitles. Do those Arabic subtitles contain key phrases to trigger terrorist cells? Is the tape itself a trigger?
The election is in 4 days.

Network Functions VirtualizationPrint this page Contact
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a movement that started in October 2012 and is being driven by the telecommunications service provider (SP) community. NFV enables certain network functions to be consolidated and performed on standard IT virtualization technology rather than on specialized, dedicated networking equipment. The vision of NFV is to dramatically change how networks are architected and operated in the future.
The objectives of NFV were developed to counteract financial and competitive pressures. From a financial perspective, SPs seek to reduce capital expenditures and operational expenses plus grow service revenue. NFV will also change the way vendors generate revenue for network equipment. NFV will lead to a product pricing structure that has a significant software component. Vendor revenue will shift from a hardware-based shipment model to software license deferred model
Our NFV Report strives to track progress across a broad range of technologies and to highlight the emerging trends and developments of this rapidly changing movement, such as addressing the recent emergence of carrier software defined networking. We believe that NFV is part of a long-term evolution of telecom operator networks and businesses. We take a take a holistic view of how technologies, operations, and business models are evolving on the path to creating a complete NFV platform.
Our senior analysts collaborate to combine their deep understanding of network equipment markets to assess what is driving decisions for NFV development, adoption, and deployment.
The Report answers such questions as:
- Will open source be used for NFV products?
- What are the important technologies for NFV?
- What are the long-term financial implications for SP capital expenditures, operation expenses, and revenue?
- When will NFV have a material impact for SPs and equipment manufacturers?
- How can equipment manufacturers generate revenue from blending traditional network equipment with virtualization software?
Our Report also includes quantitative tables on the worldwide NFV market and worldwide mobile and broadband subscribers.

Gordon Williams (writer)
|Gordon Williams
1934 (age 81–82)
Gordon M. Williams (born 1934) is a Scottish author. Born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, he moved to London to work as a journalist. He has written for television and is the author of over twenty novels including From Scenes Like These (1969), shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1969, Walk Don't Walk (1972) and Big Morning Blues (1974). Other novels include The Camp (1966), The Man Who Had Power Over Women (1967) and The Upper Pleasure Garden (1970).
He ghosted the autobiographies of association footballers Bobby Moore, Terry Venables and manager Tommy Docherty.
In 1971, his novel The Siege of Trencher's Farm was controversially filmed as Straw Dogs. Sam Peckinpah's cinematic treatment marked a watershed in the depiction of sexual violence in the cinema though the most controversial scenes are absent from the book. Other film work includes The Man Who Had Power Over Women, from his own novel, and Tree of Hands, as scriptwriter from a Ruth Rendell novel. Williams also wrote the book of Ridley Scott's film The Duellists.
In 1976 film producer Harry Saltzman employed Williams to re-write the script for The Micronauts. Although the film was never made, Williams' novelisation was published in 1977; he subsequently wrote two sequels.
While working as commercial manager of association football club Chelsea, he renewed his collaboration with Venables, resulting in four co-written novels. From the novels grew the 1978 TV series Hazell, which the pair co-wrote under the shared pseudonym P. B. Yuill. Under the name "Jack Lang", Williams also wrote paperbacks "for £300 a time".[1]
Williams declined Bill Forsyth's offer to write the script for the 1981 film Gregory's Girl.[1]

New Proof That Hermès Is Still In The Popular Gang
HERMÈS will open two new leather goods factories to cater to growing customer demand for its luxury bags - proving that the label is still one of the world's most desirable.
The buildings will open in eastern France - where the brand already has one factory in Seloncourt. Cumulatively, the fashion house will employ 600 people in the region, WWD reports.
The first factory in Héricourt will open in 2015 or 2016, while a date for the Montbéliard facility has not yet been specified. Both units will utilise the training offered at the nearby Ecole Boudard and a temporary workshop will be opened in Etupes in early 2014 for saddlery and leather goods trainees.

One Dead, One Seriously Injured After Serious Car Smash
One teenager is dead and three others are seriously injured after a car with stolen number plates crashed and rolled in Melbourne's south-east on Saturday nght.
Emergency services rushed to Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road, in Narre Warren South, about 7.30pm after reports of the car accident.
The Kia, which was carrying six people, sped through a red light and collided with a Holden sedan before rolling.
Two teenage men were airlifted to hospital.
One was given a blood transfusion while in the air and the other died at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Two other teenagers from the same vehicle, a 19-year-old Hampton Park man and a 15-year-old Narre Warren boy, were treated by paramedics and rushed to hospital under police guard.
The other two occupants from the car, a man and the woman, fled from the scene.
Inspector John Cormack told Channel 9 the accident was preventable.
"Tragically, the combination of youth and speed this evening leaves two young men fighting for their lives in hospital in an event that need not happen," he said.

Prairie Fare: Are Your Cupboards Fodder for a Reality Show?
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist
NDSU Extension Service
I flipped on a reality-type TV show one day. A camera crew captured footage of someone climbing over a mountain of boxes, clothing and trash to get around his home. The piles were so high that his head nearly touched the ceiling.
The next time I opened my cupboard, I thought about that episode. I don't like to waste food, but was I "hoarding" food that was lower in quality or potentially unsafe? I tossed a couple of things that were well past their prime.
Let's take an imaginary trip through a cupboard. We'll shrink a food inspector to doll size so he can climb around in a cupboard. Our imaginary inspector, Ben, will accompany Sandy, a homeowner, through her cupboard.
"Hey, Ben, are you ready for this? Sandy's cupboard hasn't been sorted in awhile," I said as I looked into the cupboard.
"Let's get to work," Ben said as he crawled over some boxes and cans to the back of the cupboard. He turned on a flashlight.
Ben began to sort the canned goods and Sandy helped hoist the cans.
"Ben, these dates are really confusing! I write my date of purchase on the cans and packages of foods, but I don't understand what the manufacturers' dates mean. Some food packages say 'use by' and other foods say 'sell by.' This baby formula has an expiration date. What does this mean?" Sandy asked as she pointed at a date stamp.
"The sell by date is meant for the store. The use by date is a quality date. It's the last date recommended for use of the product while it is at peak quality. The food may be safe to eat, but the texture and even the nutritional value may decline through time. You should not feed your baby any formula past its expiration date," Ben replied, as he dusted off a can of mandarin oranges.
"How long do canned fruit and canned vegetables maintain their quality?" Sandy asked.
"Well, I see you've had these oranges for 3 1/2 years. Acidic foods, such as commercially canned fruits and vegetables, are of best quality when used within 18 months. Low-acid foods, such as commercially canned vegetables and tuna, have a storage life of two to five years. Your oranges are past their prime and may have some flavor and texture changes," he replied.
"How about my home-canned salsa from last summer," Sandy asked as she moved two jars of salsa. "Everyone loves it!"
"This looks tasty. To have a safe home-canned product, you need to begin with a safe recipe. Did you follow the recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture or your local Extension Service?" he asked.
"Yes, I did!" she said as she moved the salsa to one section.
"That's good. We find too many people who experiment with home canning and that's not safe. Home-canned goods are at their best quality if used in a year but are safe longer than that," he noted.
"I haven't done very much baking lately. How long are baking powder and cake mixes OK?" Sandy asked as she held a container of baking powder from 2005.
"According to the USDA, for best quality, store baking powder for up to six months in an unopened container or for three months after opening. Cake and brownie mixes are of best quality when stored for no more than a year on your shelf," Ben noted.
"Sandy, I see bottles of bleach and dish soap. Be careful not to keep cleaning agents with food items," Ben remarked as he separated the items.
"Oops. I ran out of space in my closet. I will move those!" Sandy noted.
"After grocery shopping, rotate your stock so you don't lose track of what you have. Put your oldest food in the front so you use it first," Ben noted before he jumped out of the cupboard with a jar of salsa in his arms.
"I have some tortilla chips in the other cupboard," Sandy said with a laugh.
Do you have any spaghetti sauce and rice in your cupboard? Pick up some vitamin C-rich peppers, meat and any other ingredients you need to make these tasty stuffed peppers.

Stuffed Peppers
1 c. cooked white or brown rice (start with 1/3 cup uncooked)
1 pound extra-lean ground beef (or Italian sausage)
2 Tbsp. chopped onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
4 large bell peppers (red or green)
2 c. spaghetti sauce, divided
3/4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare rice as directed on the package (or use leftover rice). In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until brown. Drain the meat. Add rice and 1 cup of spaghetti sauce to the meat, and heat. Cut a slice from the end of each pepper and remove the top of the pepper, the seeds and membranes. If necessary, cut a thin slice from the bottom of each pepper so they stand upright. Rinse the peppers thoroughly. Fill a 4-quart pot about one-half full and heat water to boiling. Add peppers and cook for two minutes, then drain. Stand the peppers upright in an ungreased 8-inch glass baking dish. Stuff with rice and meat mixture. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over the peppers. Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover, then bake for an additional 15 minutes or until peppers are tender. Just before serving, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Makes four servings. When made with brown rice and low-sodium spaghetti sauce, each serving has 410 calories, 15 grams (g) of fat, 44 g of protein, 23 g of carbohydrate, 5 g of fiber and 310 milligrams of sodium.

My wife, Nicole, and I are excited to be at FBC Hooks. We, along with our kids, Dylan, Megan, Hailey, and Abby have moved from the Dallas, TX area to serve how God sees fit. It has been our desire to serve our Lord in ministry for many years and I'm grateful that He has given us this opportunity at this time in our lives.
I have been a physical therapist for 22 years while serving in various ministry positions in McAlester, OK and Garland, TX. However, this will be the greatest opportunity as God is allowing us to make ministry the focus. I pray that Hooks, Tx will be a place where our family can grow with you as we all grow closer to Christ.
In Christ,
Bro. Grant

I encountered my first potato latke when I was in the second grade. I was absolutely in awe of the room mom who came in to make them for our class. Out of seemingly nowhere, griddles full of steaming hot potato pancakes popped up, replacing our usual worksheets and textbooks. Ummm food in place of work? Sign me up!
After we received our fresh, hot, latke, we were allowed to top it with applesauce or sour cream. I remember thinking that anyone who picked applesauce must be absolutely crazy. I mean, it's a potato, people! There is only one topping option! Even our principal got in the latke action . . . and he picked applesauce. No. words.
That was the last time I had a latke. Which, in retrospect, is absolutely crazy, given these established facts: 1) I love potatoes. 2) I love fried potatoes. 3) I love sour cream. 4) I love sour cream on potatoes. Sense a theme here?
It took a recipe challenge from the Modern Home Kitchen to start me thinking about latkes again. Get this, though: The ingredient for the challenge was not potato, but rather, squash. Squash! Since I've only ever steamed squash, I was equally excited and intimidated by the challenge.
I started thinking about all things squash – squash bowls (adorable), squash and risotto, squash fries, you get the picture. But then. I had a revelation: Squash dessert . . . squash pancakes? SQUASH LATKES! I found out, via a quick Google search, that squash latkes were not an entirely insane idea. I looked at a couple of squash latke recipes before coming up with my own, slightly sweeter version.
I used a Delicata squash, which was one of the three I picked up in Kroger's $10/10 pounds of fall squash deal. You should've seen me rifling through that bin of squash. Or, maybe not. It's a good thing two of my squash were labeled, too, because I am such a squash amateur that I didn't even know all of those gourd-shaped things were varieties of squash. Hope you guys like it, though, because I have two more squash to go!
P.S. First one to correctly tell me how many times I used the word squash (it's an embarrassingly high number) in this post – including the recipe – gets cookies. Seriously. Continue reading

There are many ways to celebrate your birthday: drinks in the city, cake and pots of tea with family.
Personally, I like to celebrate like the Romans with a hedonistic orgy. Though I'm not sure that a foursome qualifies as an orgy? Who cares when you are having fun?
My beloved Houseguest really knows how to pick them. She found us a lovely couple from Europe. Mr. H a hot man from Germany, with a cock like a child's arm. Mrs. M was a hot Polish lady, full of life and able to squirt across the room!
Such are the things that great birthdays are made up of. Getting your face covered in a hot Polish squirt, and getting your ass filled by an enormous German cock. Well, it was my birthday!
I would like to say that this was a rare birthday treat, but foursomes are rather frequent for Houseguest and me. What made this so special was that I was the center of attention and not the ladies!
It was a bit unnerving at first, but after about 5 seconds, I thought fuck yes! Who does not love being the centre of the party? Certainly, I love it.
As much fun as it was, I could not help but see my beloved turning into the green-eyed monster. She was watching me get nine inches of hard German dick in my ass and wanted some for herself.
Of course, I could not deny my beloved her just rewards for organizing my birthday treats.
The demented look on her face as she comes from getting ass fucked is the best present I could have.
It's good to get treats, but it's even better to share them!
What is the best birthday treat you have given or received?

Bloomberg Tax
This Portfolio is available with a subscription to Bloomberg Tax, a comprehensive research solution including over 500 Tax Management Portfolios, practice tools, primary sources and timely news.
This Portfolio describes four special rules that override
this usual treatment: the wash sale rules of §1091, the conversion
transaction rules of §1258, the constructive sale rules of §1259, and
the constructive ownership rules of §1260.
These special rules apply when an instrument bears a
specified relationship to a formally separate instrument. These rules
combine distinct transactions into one mega-transaction with its own tax
These rules are designed to prevent a tax-motivated abuse. For each
regime, this Portfolio discusses the problem that inspired Congress or
the Treasury Department to promulgate the rule. The regime itself is
then analyzed. Key issues are highlighted, and examples illustrate
nuances in the rule and frequently-encountered issues of construction.
In addition, there are discussions of various business and regulatory
realities that feature prominently in these transactions, such as
accounting rules, dynamic hedging, and the like.

Church abuse victim speaks after bishop resigns
Tragedy struck very early in Tommy Campion's life. He was two when his mother walked out on her husband and two children.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
His father couldn't manage two small children and still earn a living.
He thought the best thing for his children was to give them to the care of the Anglican church-run, North Coast Children's Home in Lismore.
According to Tommy Campion, it was a house of horrors.
"Life in the home was bloodshed. There was sexual abuse by the ministers, and various other people there was floggings by the matron, Matron Martin, beatings.
"Children were dragged through the home, children were locked in the cupboards, their heads were pushed down the toilet, they were made to wash their own sheets if they defecated or weed, I'm talking little children who just weed the bed, they were made to wash them in the washtub.
"Starvation, children weren't allowed to comfort another child if they were abused they were lying on the floor. They weren't allowed to do that" recalled Mr Campion.
"If you were flogged and beaten and you were left whimpering on the floor, if you went up to a child who was in trouble who had just been beaten you were beaten too. You had to leave them alone. It was only when they'd left the room and locked the door that you could do something, and even then we were scared."
Mr Campion says he saw at least 100 children beaten, and another 100 that he didn't see.
About a decade ago Tommy Campion began campaigning for the church to acknowledge the suffering of abandoned children that were in institutional care.
He says he's written about 1000 letters to church leaders, many of them to the former bishop of the Diocese of Grafton, the Right Reverend Keith Salter who resigned late on Friday afternoon.
"He just didn't understand. He didn't want to understand, he didn't want to listen to my complaints.
"I knew he was doing wrong. I knew he wasn't acting fairly and compassionately to us.
"Under the rules of the Protocol he failed to act fairly and compassionately to the victims of brutal abuse and he's shown a clear case of negligence, incompetence and cruelty.
"I said (to the Archbishop) in 2010 he should have been dismissed from his position of trust" said Mr Campion.
The Right Reverend Keith Slater resigned late on Friday afternoon, acknowledging he did not pass on some matters to the church's Professional Standards Director for investigation.
Reverend Salter apologised to those involved, and saying the question of legal liability clouded the issue.
The Anglican Diocese of Grafton issued a statement saying the bishop had made a serious error of judgement that "resulted in some abuse survivors not getting the appropriate support."
The Care Leavers Network represents people who grew up in Australian children's homes.
The chief executive Leonie Sheedy says the timing of the Diocese's audit isn't a coincidence.
"They seem to have put the church's interests before the interests of victims.
"A cynic would believe it's only come about because of the Royal Commission.
"They're getting their house in order before the Royal Commission tells them to get their house in order.

Butler mascot vomits on the Big East Tournament court
See Gallery
Thursday night the Big East Tournament continues and we're being treated to a match up between the Butler Bulldogs and the Xavier Musketeers as we inch closer towards crowning a champion. Everyone in attendance has to be excited about seeing this one.
Well, actually, it doesn't seem as if the Butler mascot is all that pleased to be there, mainly because it appears the poor thing has a stomach bug.
Yes, in case you haven't guessed it by now, the live Butler Bulldog mascot showed everyone in the arena that its not feeling too well, because...well, just look in the paint...
Yeah, either the little guy has quite the stomach bug or something it ate in the arena did not settle too well in the ol' stomach there.
Bulter's mascot just vomited on the court. Hahaha! pic.twitter.com/vy4WCe9poR
- Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander) March 13, 2015
Now some people will argue that this is a reason that live mascots should be done away with, but those people don't like cute things! A little vomit can be cleaned up in no time and it'll be like nothing ever happened.

Cosplay Wednesday: Baby Doll by Mimi Reaves
Another Wednesday, another cosplayer to showcase! Say hello to Mimi Reaves as Baby Doll.
Name: Mimi Reaves (like her Facebook here)
Cosplay: Babydoll (Sucker Punch)
Photographer: Masamune Photography
- How
long did it take to complete? I'm not
actually sure how long this cosplay took for me to make. I have an older
version that I no longer wear, and since making it I've been slowly updating
it, and now I'm not wearing any of my original pieces anymore. I probably spent
about $500 on materials and accessories, though.
- What
was the hardest part when constructing it? The
hardest parts were sculpting the charms on the gun, and making the leather gun
holster. I have an old domestic sewing machine, so machine stitching through
the leather was a task in itself.
- What
do you love most about this cosplay? My
favourite part about this cosplay is just wearing it and connecting with the
character. The movie isn't just about hot girls in skimpy outfits to me… when I
watch Sucker Punch, I feel like I can do anything.
- What's your next cosplay project? At the moment, I'm working on a re-make of my old Rapunzel cosplay from Tangled. It's about ¼ done; I'm starting pretty much from the most basic materials and dyeing silk to the correct colour. It will be a long process!
